Moreover, Long Siye was an elegant and brilliant man. He could effortlessly acquire the heart of any woman he liked as long as he wished to. There was no need for her to be concerned about his love life.
Gu Xijiu smiled. “No, I will just let it go with the flow.” She would never bring the topic up again.
Long Siye took a look at the tableful of dishes. Then, he turned and fixed a serious gaze on her. “Xijiu, will you prepare a few more dishes for me? I like the fish soup and sweet and sour fish that you make.”
Gu Xijiu was surprised. Those were the first two dishes that she learned for him. The fish did not taste very good, but Long Xi finished the food with great appetite. She thought that the dishes were not her best ones, so she never made them again. To her surprise, he remembered. She agreed to it without saying anything much and proceeded to prepare the fish.
Long Siye sat quietly, with his eyes gently closed. He affirmed that he would let their relationship go. When he first tasted the two dishes, that was the time when he finally knew how he felt for her. He should end it by having the same dishes again, right from when it all started.
Xijiu, you and I are destined to be apart. I truly hope that you will be happy for the rest of your life.
“Overlord Long, you seem comfortable to make my wife do things for you.” A voice came from behind Long Siye.
Long Siye opened his eyes and saw Di Fuyi sitting right in front of him. Unlike someone who had just woken up, he seemed energetic, as though he had just come back from a walk.
Di Fuyi could easily read his mind. He looked him straight in the eyes and asked, “What is this about? Are you finally going to mark a farewell to your past and let her go?”
Long Siye took a breath before he answered in a solemn tone, “Treat her well. If you hurt her in any way, I will come and take her back!”
…
When Gu Xijiu returned with another two dishes, both of them were quietly eating their food. They stayed aloof, not saying another word to each other.
Di Fuyi was more domineering. He was unsatisfied with the four dishes that he already had, so he wanted to take food from the two dishes that were given to Long Siye, which would leave him with only half portions. Long Siye did not bother arguing with the likes of him. He took his time and enjoyed the rest of his food.
Gu Xijiu shifted the plates and put the fish dishes in front of Long Siye. Long Siye gave Di Fuyi a victorious smile before pulling the dishes closer to him. “Xijiu, thank you very much for making these two dishes especially for me.”
Immediately, Di Fuyi turned to look at Gu Xijiu. From his dewy eyes, she knew he was about to get back at her.
She was right. “Baby, do you take special food orders?” Di Fuyi started with a question.
Gu Xijiu smirked. “As a friend, he can make a one-time order. I wonder if you would like to be my friend, too.”
Di Fuyi pulled her down firmly and made her sit next to him. “Baby, you must be tired from preparing all these wonderful dishes. As your husband, I certainly do not have the heart to ask for more. Come, come, come and eat with us. The bean roll is good. Try it. The bean curd is good, too. Try.”
Gu Xijiu did not know what to say.
It was the first time for Long Siye to witness the way Di Fuyi addressed Gu Xijiu in great fondness. He was utterly shocked.
“Di Fuyi, could you be any more disgusting?”
He felt as though he had lost all his appetite.
Di Fuyi dismissed him with a quick look. “Do you think it is disgusting? Well, I am not addressing you anyway.”
Long Siye was speechless.
