Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng’s calm eyes, then she heard his thoughts: ‘I did lose control last night, but in the end, it’s because Mrs. Gu is too delicate. I should quickly change the topic. Otherwise, Mrs. Gu will be angry again.

‘And if I tell her about that, she might get angry too.’

Qiao Xi instantly choked.

This bastard actually blamed this on her. He was clearly the one who did not control himself the entire night, yet he still had the cheek to say that she was too delicate?

What did he mean by she was going to be angry again? He made it sound as if she was often angry. She clearly had a good temper!

Gu Zheng silently helped Qiao Xi put on her clothes, then carried her downstairs to eat. The chef had already prepared a table full of dishes. They were all spicy food.

Qiao Xi liked to eat spicy food because she did not have a sense of taste before this. Hence, no matter if it was in terms of sight or smell, spicy dishes were more appetizing to her. Moreover, spicy food was not a taste but a kind of pain. She could clearly feel the stimulation on the tip of her tongue.

Ever since she came to Longwan Residential, the chef had been cooking according to her preferences. She was afraid that Gu Zheng would not be used to it, so she asked Gu Zheng if he liked spicy food. If he did not like it, he could get the chef to prepare something light. There was no need to accommodate her.

However, Gu Zheng said with a gentle expression, “I’m not too particular about food as long as I’m full. I’ll eat whatever you like. I won’t mind.”

Qiao Xi sat on the chair and looked at the table full of delicious dishes. She could not help but gulp. “Butler, why did you make so many delicious dishes today?”

The butler replied, “This morning, the president instructed the kitchen to start preparing lunch early. He said that Young Madam has been wanting to eat spicy food recently. Coincidentally, the chef has learned a few new dishes, so he made some for Young Madam to try.”

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with smiles. In the past, when she did not have a sense of taste, she did not care much about what she ate. In any case, there was no taste to the food she ate. Gu Zheng knew that she would recover her sense of taste today, so he specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a large table of dishes for her to eat to her heart’s content. He was really too meticulous.

Gu Zheng was like a parasite. Nothing she thought could escape him.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Qiao Xi could not wait to try a bite of the spicy chicken. She instantly narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, then picked up a piece of chicken for Gu Zheng. “Ah Zheng, try it.”

Gu Zheng looked at her affectionately, then picked up the piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. His expression did not change, and his heart did not skip a beat. He even praised the chef’s culinary skills.

Qiao Xi thought that Gu Zheng probably liked to eat it very much. After all, he had never liked to praise others.

However, the next second—

“Cough, cough…” Gu Zheng’s body trembled from the strong pepper smell. His eyes were slightly red and misty.

Qiao Xi was just about to ask what was wrong when she heard Gu Zheng say in a hoarse voice, “I think too much chili was added to this dish.”

Gu Zheng’s lips were bright red, and his usually calm eyes were filled with tears. A layer of sweat had also seeped out of his forehead. Although he was trying his best to endure it, one could still tell that the food was too spicy for him.

The man slowly raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Xi’s shocked gaze. He smiled lightly and said, “Although it’s a little spicy, the taste is really not bad.”

‘I still can’t take it? I’ve been eating spicy food with Mrs. Gu for so long, but I still can’t accept it. I just took a bite and I already choked.’

Qiao Xi abruptly widened her eyes and looked at Gu Zheng in surprise. Then, she asked in disbelief, “Gu Zheng, are you sure you can eat spicy food?”

Gu Zheng calmly took a sip of lemon water and said slowly, “Of course. My taste is similar to Mrs. Gu’s. We both like spicy dishes.”

‘Indeed, preferences can’t be forced, but Mrs. Gu likes spicy dishes. I have to accompany her.’

Qiao Xi’s heart ached as she looked at his red eyes. She did not expect Gu Zheng to go so far for her. He even had to accommodate her in terms of taste. Actually, there was no need for him to do this.

However, she knew why Gu Zheng did this. When she first came to Longwan Residential, everything was very unfamiliar to her. A person without taste buds would not be picky about dishes. It was fine as long as she could eat her fill. She would not ask the chef to make dishes that suited her taste buds. Gu Zheng probably sensed her discomfort, so he tried his best to accommodate her in every small matter, including eating spicy dishes with her.
