Free Web NovelChapter 716: Only Hoping She Will Love Me Forever
Last night was Hunan cuisine.
This morning, surprisingly, it’s... Cantonese dim sum.
Sheng Yi didn’t expect this.
She looked at the man who was rolling up his sleeves and getting ready to sit down.
After the man sat down, he saw that she had not sat down yet. He raised his eyes to meet her confused face and, in the same warm and unhurried voice he used when he knocked on the door earlier, explained: "I came back early yesterday and bought some ingredients. Cantonese dim sum is not hard to make, but I’ve never made it before. I just learned it a moment ago, so I can only trouble you to be a little guinea pig this time."
His voice was extremely gentle, just like a husband at home getting up early to make breakfast for his wife.
This thoughtfulness caused a lump in Sheng Yi’s heart, something stuck in her throat, not knowing what to say.
She sat down, and Dao An handed over disposable gloves. Sheng Yi took them and said thank you, picked up a very tempting-looking siu mai, and was about to put it in her mouth when she noticed the man was watching her. Being watched so openly made her feel embarrassed, always feeling like she might have just opened her mouth too wide and lost her composure.
So she changed to taking a small bite.
After biting into it, her eyes lit up, and her brows relaxed. She chewed and said, "Delicious!"
She thought these two words were not enough to express the taste of the siu mai, so she added a few more words: "Very delicious, I like it very much."
The man smiled, "Then eat more. It’s my first time making Cantonese dim sum, so I made a bit too much."
Seeing the man smile and talk so gently, Sheng Yi felt her heart racing, and she couldn’t control it at all.
"By the way," Sheng Yi took small bites of the siu mai in her hand and asked him, "Aren’t you going to work today?"
Plus, he was wearing casual clothes at home, not at all looking like a mature man of thirty-three. So handsome, so handsome, how could he always be so handsome at every moment? Even though she had long been used to the top-notch looks in the entertainment industry, Dao An had the most charm.
The charm of a mature man.
Sheng Yi secretly scolded herself, how could she be into mature men? But then she thought, it’s not about being into mature men or not, mainly because he is Dao An, the man she likes.
"I don’t have anything to do in the morning, I’ll go to the company in the afternoon." He picked up a crystal dumpling for her and placed it on the plate in front of her: "Try this and see how it tastes."
"Okay."
This Cantonese dim sum meal made Sheng Yi very satisfied.
She didn’t expect to eat these in a foreign country. But then she thought about these were all carefully prepared by the man in front of her, and with a sentence on the tip of her tongue, this time Sheng Yi couldn’t hold back and blurted out: "You can make money and cook, you gather all the good qualities in one, you can do almost anything, the girl who marries you in the future will be very happy."
That sounds so much like a "green tea" comment...
In the scripts she acted, such lines belonged to the "green tea", Sheng Yi realized she was deviating again.
"For me, it’s not enough." The man picked up her words.
Sheng Yi mumbled: "Why not enough? You’re already very, very outstanding."
"It has nothing to do with being outstanding."
He gazed at her tenderly, and this kind of glance gave Sheng Yi the illusion that he was looking at her with deep affection at that moment.
She heard him say word by word: "These still aren’t enough to give her happiness. I want her to feel my love, protection, and companionship. I want her to feel my efforts to be by her side as fast as I can, no matter where I am, when she needs me. I want to protect her forever, cherish her, take care of her, offering everything of my life at her feet..."
The words weren’t finished yet.
Sheng Yi saw his steadfast yet gentle gaze, deeply looking at her: "Just hoping she will love me forever."
