Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 450: Chapter 451: That beast tormented her all night

In the afternoon, Xia Yangyang made a special trip to the supermarket.

She bought a bunch of fresh ingredients.

Shen Manbing, in her house clothes, opened the door for Xia Yangyang.

Yawning, she said, “What brings you here?”

After speaking, she peered outside the door: “You came alone, where’s Ah Chen?”

The mention of Gu Qichen made Xia Yangyang’s complexion fluctuate.

Actually, Shen Manbing and Shen Shichuan were still unaware of her affair with Gu Qichen.

“I came alone.”

“Well, come on in then.”

Shen Manbing seemed very tired.

No wonder, Xia Yangyang had seen on the news that she had just returned from the Busan Film Festival, so she must be exhausted.

On TV, Shen Manbing was a strong, perfectionist, aloof goddess.

But at this moment, Xia Yangyang watched a woman in a Totoro pajamas, with fluffy hair, and a sleepy look on her face.

The contrast with her glamorous television persona was striking.

But Xia Yangyang preferred the real-life Shen Manbing with her element of human warmth.

Overcome with sleepiness, Shen Manbing waved her off: “I won’t bother entertaining you, make yourself at home. I didn’t sleep all night yesterday, I need to catch up.”

Xia Yangyang was puzzled: “Didn’t the news say that your flight landed at seven o’clock last night? How come you didn’t sleep all night?”

Shen Manbing coughed: “Jet lag doesn’t adjust itself in an instant.”

“But you went to South Korea.”

“Xia Yangyang, do you really want me to say that the beast Shen Shichuan kept me up all night?” Shen Manbing’s face turned red with anger and embarrassment.

But Xia Yangyang burst into hearty laughter, coaxing her like a child: “Go to sleep now, seize the time. That beast will be back in four hours, and then you won’t be able to sleep even if you want to.”

Shen Manbing huffed and puffed a few times, then went upstairs.

After teasing Shen Manbing, Xia Yangyang was in a good mood.

Thinking that she had nothing else to do, she decided to prepare dinner.

Xia Yangyang kneaded the dumpling filling, and started wrapping dumplings.

She would make a few home-cooked dishes when Shen Shichuan got back.

After wrapping the dumplings, Xia Yangyang boiled a few to taste them, and they were surprisingly good.

In fact, she seldom cooked. She had only seen Gu Qichen make dumplings once before.

Following Gu Qichen’s exclusive recipe, the dumplings were really delicious.

Shen Manbing, attracted by the aroma, had somehow snuck up behind Xia Yangyang: “What are you cooking, it smells so good?”

Xia Yangyang got startled: “Are you finally awake?”

Shen Manbing shamelessly grabbed some chopsticks and started eating the dumplings while praising her, “Yangyang, with this cooking skill, you can open a restaurant.”

Compared to Gu Qichen, her skill was still far behind.

Xia Yangyang saw that dinner was almost ready.

She lifted her head and asked Shen Manbing: “Brother Shen will be back soon, we’ll just whip up a few more common dishes. By the way, Sister Bingbing, do you have any special dishes? Brother Shen will be surprised if he knows that you are personally cooking for him.”

Shen Manbing thought for a long time: “I think, the boiled water I make is quite good.”

Xia Yangyang: “…”.

No help was coming from Shen Manbing’s side.

Xia Yangyang had to cook a few more home-cooked dishes on her own.

Shen Manbing just stayed in the kitchen, and as Xia Yangyang cooked, she sneakily nibbled away.

When the dishes were served, more than half of them were missing.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t resist, “Sister Bingbing, where’s your goddess image, do your fans know you sneak around eating like a mouse stealing rice?”

Shen Manbing felt wronged: “I’m hungry. I had to eat boiled vegetables for three days for the Film Festival, just to look good on camera. Entirely inhuman, eating so much that I think my eyes are glowing green now.”

But a great beauty remained a great beauty, pleading cute and pitiful was irresistible.

Xia Yangyang immediately felt pity: “Eat more then, if it’s not enough I’ll make more dishes.”
