Chapter 1695: Coaxing My Girl to Sleep

“Mr. Peter, put me down! Can’t you talk properly? Why are you pulling?” Gu Nianzhi blushed when she saw Lu Yuan looking over at her with a smile. She frantically tried to push Huo Shaoheng away.

Huo Shaoheng’s arms held onto her tightly.

The more she struggled, the deeper she sank into his arms.

In the end, she was held tightly in his arms, her face pressed against his muscular chest. Listening to his vigorous heartbeat, her own heart almost resonated with his..

She was only distracted for a moment before Huo Shaoheng carried her back to the living room.

Huo Shaoheng looked down and saw a pair of red boots on the edge of the carpet in the living room. His eyes moved slightly, and he smiled. “Why did Miss Gu take off her shoes here?”

Gu Nianzhi saw that she couldn’t break free, so she decided not to struggle. She raised her feet and said, “I like to be barefooted. Who wears boots at home? Are you stupid?”

Her feet were very beautiful; they were small and exquisite, and the shape of her ankles were beautiful. They were tender and well-maintained.

Huo Shaoheng quickly averted his gaze from Gu Nianzhi’s feet.

Seeing this, Gu Nianzhi wrinkled her delicate and straight nose in disdain. Her slender, long and white legs continued to dangle before Huo Shaoheng’s eyes.

Once again, Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to look away from Gu Nianzhi’s white legs with difficulty.

He carried Gu Nianzhi into the living room and placed her onto the L-shaped sofa that was most in trend.

Huo Shaoheng did not get up immediately. Instead, he placed his hands on the low leather back of the L-shaped sofa and wrapped Gu Nianzhi in his arms. He stared into her dark, smoky eyes and said with a faint smile, “Miss Gu doesn’t wear boots at home? Then why did the boots come from the bedroom to the living room? Did they walk here by themselves?”

“How did you know they were in the bedroom? They were clearly in the living room...”Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly.

“Really? But these boots look like they go along with the mini skirt you’re wearing.”

“In other words, they’re part of the New Year suit your father prepared for you, so they must be placed in the bedroom, together with the skirt you’re wearing.”

“If you didn’t wear them out, would the boots have turned into spirits and came out on their own?”

Gu Nianzhi was speechless. Was it that great to be able to deduce?

Who asked you to deduce and reason with me at a time like this?

What a straight man..

Gu Nianzhi saw that she couldn’t bluff her way out of this and her eyes quickly blinked. Her long, fan-like eyelashes flickered, and the bright lights of the living room were reflected in her eyes. She chuckled and said,”... you called me Nianzhi when you texted me just now. But now you’re so unfamiliar with me, calling me Miss Gu and all...”

Huo Shaoheng’s heart pounded wildly, but he quickly calmed down and lowered his body a little. Their faces were very close, and it seemed that if they moved a centimeter closer, they would be face to face.

Both of them could feel each other’s controlled breathing. It was a little hot, but because of their restraint, it was not obvious. Their faintly discernible breaths were even more seductive.

In the past, Gu Nianzhi would not hesitate to dodge. She would not have such intimate physical contact with someone she was not familiar with.

But this time, she just laid lazily on the sofa with her arms crossed in front of her chest. The back of the sofa was low, and she seemed to have become even slimmer.

Huo Shaoheng looked at her quietly. Their eyes met, and both of them wanted to look into each other’s hearts.

However, their eyes were equally dark, like the best black velvet. They were so dark that they seemed to be emitting light from within.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time, until Lu Jin’s loud shout broke their silence.

“Peter, what are you doing?! Let go of my daughter!”

Lu Jin shouted and threw the folder in his hand over.

Huo Shaoheng had eyes on his back. He heard the sound of the folder flying towards him, reached behind his back and caught the folder firmly. He quickly got up and turned around. He smiled at Lu Jin and said, “Uncle Lu, please don’t take offence. Miss Gu... Nianzhi ran to the kitchen to ask for food without her shoes on. I was afraid that she would catch a cold if she stepped on the wooden floor, so I carried her over.”

Lu Jin’s gaze finally fell on Gu Nianzhi’s bare feet.

“Nianzhi, didn’t I prepare boots for you? And they go well with your skirt. They’re all in the bedroom. Why aren’t you wearing them? Did you not see them?” Lu Jin asked in confusion.

It was exactly the same as Huo Shaoheng’s deduction earlier on.

Gu Nianzhi was so embarrassed that she almost flew into a rage.

She sat up from the sofa and said with a red face, “Dad, didn’t I say I was hungry? Where have you been? Where’s the food I asked you to prepare? I’m starving to the point of low blood sugar...”

She gently rubbed her forehead, which was sweating profusely.

“AH?! I forgot, I forgot! I forgot everything when I saw Peter like this just now!” Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng before saying, “I’m going to the kitchen to take a look. Nianzhi, don’t move if your blood sugar is low. Sit properly, Dad will get you something to eat.”

Lu Jin quickly walked into the kitchen.

Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked down at Gu Nianzhi. He teased, “Low blood sugar? Nianzhi, you have low blood sugar, why didn’t I know about it?”

Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a smile and brought her panda pillow over. She tilted her head and said, “Are you familiar with me? How do you know if I have low blood sugar?”

“Of course we’re familiar. We’ve known each other for... almost two months, right?” Huo Shaoheng bowed slightly and successfully saw Gu Nianzhi’s eyes darken.

He narrowed his eyes and straightened his body. Seeing that Lu Jin was already walking over with a large tray, he quickly walked over and said, “Uncle Lu, can I help you?”

Lu Jin glared at him. “Go help in the kitchen. Boss Lu can’t handle it by himself.”

Actually, he didn’t want to see Peter and Gu Nianzhi alone together. The scene was very harmonious and pleasing to the eye, but Lu Jin still felt as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife.

Huo Shaoheng turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. She was sitting on the sofa and didn’t look back at him at all.

Huo Shaoheng let out a sigh of relief and walked towards the kitchen again.

Lu Jin carried a tray with mahogany carvings and walked towards Gu Nianzhi. He bent down and placed the tray on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

“Boss Lu made it with great care.” Lu Jin pointed at the dishes on the tray and introduced them proudly. “I said you’ve been too nervous these past few days and might be feeling a little weak, so Boss Lu made this first-grade sea cucumber.”

He lifted the lid of the bowl and revealed a steamed sea cucumber in the steaming bowl.

“This method is very complicated. First, you have to burn all the rough skin on the outside of the sea cucumber. Then you have to break it open, wash it, and blanch it in boiling water twice.”

“Then, you have to mix the fat and lean pork with the south-east winter bamboo shoot, Jinhua ham, northeast mushroom, and dried scallops. Afterwards, you add them into the cut sea cucumber, tie it up with tofu skin, and steam it in the steamer.”

As Lu Jin spoke, he poked the sea cucumber with his chopsticks.

With one poke, a hole appeared, and it felt like it would melt in the mouth.

“Look, isn’t it steamed well enough?” Lu Jin said proudly, as if he had cooked the dish.

Gu Nianzhi listened with a smile. She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva and poked it with her chopsticks.

It was indeed soft, but she didn’t know how it tasted.

She took a small bite off the tip of the sea cucumber.

It was different from the slightly crispy sea cucumber she had eaten before.

This “first-grade sea cucumber” was completely steamed, but it still retained the original flavor of the ingredients.

She took a bite of the sea cucumber. There were also fillings of pork, winter bamboo shoots, ham, mushroom, and dried scallops.

These fillings were very flavorful and fresh when separated. But when put together, they all served as a foil to the sea cucumber.

The bit of original fishy and astringent taste of the wild sea cucumber was perfectly neutralized, leaving only a soft, glutinous and fresh taste.

Lu Yuan did not add any broth to season this dish. He only added a little salt, completely relying on the taste of these fillings to permeate into the sea cucumber.

When eating, just like Hong Qigong once tasted “Who listens to the falling plum on the jade flute”, he could taste twenty-five different flavors from five different kinds of meat.

Every time he chewed, there would be a different taste. However, it was also a feast for the taste buds.

Moreover, sea cucumbers had the unique freshness and sweetness of seafood.

Therefore, the taste of this “first-grade sea cucumber” was more varied than Huang Rong’s “Who listens to the falling plum on the jade flute”.

Gu Nianzhi accidentally ate the entire first-class sea cucumber.

Seeing that she was eating so happily, Lu Jin smiled and said, “Do you still want it? Boss Lu has made a lot.”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head with a smile. “That’s too much already. I think I can eat this bowl until tonight.”

“Okay, then we’ll eat it tonight for New Year’s Eve.” Lu Jin sent the tray back to the kitchen.

Since Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi had came out, Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng did not talk about any confidential topics.

The two of them quietly cooked in the kitchen. Huo Shaoheng was only responsible for cutting and washing the vegetables, while Lu Yuan was in charge of cooking.

Lu Jin placed the tray on the counter and complimented Lu Yuan with a smile, before returning to the living room to talk to Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, “Dad, where did you go just now? I didn’t see you when I came out.”

“I went back to my studio and stored the things you brought back in the fridge,” Lu Jin said casually. He took out a physics book to divert Gu Nianzhi’s attention. “Nianzhi, do you want to learn some quantum mechanics?”

Gu Nianzhi:”@”.

She couldn’t bear to disappoint him, so she nodded. “Dad, please explain it to me. But I have to warn you, I’m terrible at physics. If I can’t learn it, please don’t scold me.”

“How is that possible? How can my daughter, Lu Jin’s daughter, not be able to learn quantum mechanics?!”

Lu Jin started explaining to Gu Nianzhi in high spirits.

Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and listened for a while. Perhaps the entire sea cucumber had started to take effect, or perhaps she was tired.

Anyway, as she listened, her eyelids started to twitch.

She tried hard to stay awake, but in the end, she was no match for The Sandman’s ferocity. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Lu Yuan happened to come to the living room to answer the phone. Upon seeing this, he teased, “... are you disappointed? Your daughter can’t inherit your mantle.”

“Of course not!” Lu Jin was elated. “On the contrary, I’ve never felt that quantum mechanics is so useful!”

Lu Yuan: “... how is it useful?”

He looked at Gu Nianzhi sleeping soundly on the sofa and he smiled.

“How is it not useful? It can coax my girl to sleep!” Lu Jin said confidently and carefully covered Gu Nianzhi with a blanket.
