Chapter 89 Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan enter a cold war period
"What's good or bad about it?" Chu Xinglan didn't want to talk about this topic, so she lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket.
"Alright then, you get some rest," Ye Xiaoxiao said.
Gu Ye hadn't come to Chu Xinglan's place for several days, but Xue Bai was visiting more frequently than before. It seemed that he wasn't satisfied with just seeing Ye Xiaoxiao at the company, and after get off work, he wanted to stick to Ye Xiaoxiao's side.
Although Ye Xiaoxiao was sharp-tongued and always chased him away and scolded him, she was secretly delighted.
In stark contrast, Chu Xinglan stayed in her bedroom to avoid disturbing Ye Xiaoxiao and Xue Bai's flirting.
"Xiaoxiao, look what we brought for you!"
Xue Bai appeared at the door with a smug look on his face, pulling several large styrofoam boxes.
"What?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.
"Open it and see for yourself," Xue Bai said, keeping everyone in suspense.
Look at how smug he is, she wants to see what it is.
Ye Xiaoxiao walked over and opened the styrofoam box. Inside were Australian lobsters and king crabs, all high-end ingredients, and they were still alive and kicking.
"Are you planning to start a seafood business?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked, even more puzzled.
"How much money can you make from the seafood business?" Xue Bai smiled. "Last time you cooked a few ordinary dishes and made them taste like they were from a five-star hotel, so this time I've prepared high-end ingredients for you."
"Thank you so much." Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Xue Bai, who really treated her like a cook.
"Stop complaining. I'll help you out and make sure you don't have to work hard. All you have to do is turn them into delicious dishes. These are all fresh ingredients that have been air-freighted in."
As Xue Bai spoke, he pulled several styrofoam boxes into the kitchen.
"Others weigh their ingredients by the pound, but you're giving me ingredients by the ton. Isn't this a huge waste?"
Ye Xiaoxiao crossed her arms over her chest, unable to understand the man's thoughts. Did he think of them as cows' stomachs?
"Just do it, I promise there won't be any waste." He can eat everything Ye Xiaoxiao makes, not a single bit left.
After Xue Bai said that, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more. Anyway, she wouldn't do any dirty or tiring work, so if he wanted to eat, he could do it himself.
"Why is it so noisy?" Chu Xinglan came out of the bedroom, leaning on her cane.
"Xue Bai and the others have brought seafood ingredients; we're having a big meal tonight," Ye Xiaoxiao said to Chu Xinglan, turning around.
"Oh!" Chu Xinglan replied simply, then hobbled back to her bedroom with her cane and closed the door.
Xue Bai looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression.
"What happened? Did you fall out with the boss? I don't know what's wrong with the boss these past few days. He used to come here more often than me, but he hasn't come at all."
"Why are you asking me? Go ask your boss." Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hand, acting as if it was none of her business.
"How could I dare ask him? What if..." Xue Bai made a throat-slitting gesture, "Aren't you Chu Xinglan's best friend? You don't know either?"
"We didn't break up, but it was pretty much over," Ye Xiaoxiao said slowly.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh dear, you should hurry up and deal with these things," Ye Xiaoxiao said, changing the subject.
Xue Bai had no choice but to stop asking.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced back at Chu Xinglan's tightly closed door and sighed inexplicably.
Chu Xinglan had helped her a lot, but now that it was her turn to have a problem, she didn't know how to help her.
"It smells so good!" Xue Bai smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen and immediately licked his lips. He quickly went over to Ye Xiaoxiao and began to massage her shoulders and back in a flattering manner.
"Who's your family?" Ye Xiaoxiao glanced coldly at Xue Bai, her cheeks flushing.
Xue Bai noticed the change in Ye Xiaoxiao's face and his smile widened.
"Xiaoxiao, other couples kiss, hug, and lift each other up high, but I haven't even held your hand. What kind of couple are we?"
"So we're not really boyfriend and girlfriend, at most just colleagues."
Ye Xiaoxiao said with a straight face.
"No, Xiaoxiao, if I did something wrong, tell me and I promise to change, but let's not downgrade our relationship, okay?" Xue Bai became a little anxious.
"Stop being so cheeky, hurry up and take the dishes out," Ye Xiaoxiao said with a laugh.
"Okay!" Xue Bai happily did as Ye Xiaoxiao said.
Through the coordination and cooperation of Ye Xiaoxiao and Xue Bai, the fresh seafood ingredients were transformed into delicious food, filling a large table.
Looking at the table full of food, Xue Bai felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. Thinking that this was the result of his and Ye Xiaoxiao's hard work, he felt even more delighted.
"Xinglan, dinner is ready."
Ye Xiaoxiao gently knocked on the door of Chu Xinglan's bedroom.
Not long after, Chu Xinglan came out from inside, leaning on her cane.
Xue Bai quickly arranged a chair for her, and Ye Xiaoxiao helped Chu Xinglan sit down.
"Xinglan, you should go out more often. You can't always stay cooped up at home." Xue Bai didn't know what to say, so he coughed lightly and then said.
"Is it convenient for me to go out like this?" Chu Xinglan glanced at Xue Bai, neither pleased nor worried.
Xue Bai awkwardly shut his mouth.
"Xue Bai is right, you should get out and about. I'll take a day off and go out with you another day," Ye Xiaoxiao immediately agreed.
Hearing that Ye Xiaoxiao was helping him, Xue Bai couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"No need, I was just joking with Assistant Xue. Although it's a bit inconvenient, I can still walk out on my own without any problem." Chu Xinglan smiled at the two of them.
Before coming out, she had thought a lot about it. She couldn't let herself get so depressed, otherwise she would make the people around her feel uncomfortable.
Xue Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chu Xinglan say that. She even knows how to joke. It seems that this little girl has recovered.
"The food today is very good," Chu Xinglan praised, looking at the table full of delicious dishes.
"Then eat more." Ye Xiaoxiao, wearing disposable gloves, picked up a lobster as thick as a bowl and placed it in front of Chu Xinglan.
"Everyone, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Xue Bai also picked out a large lobster for Ye Xiaoxiao and peeled all the meat out, filling the whole bowl.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't move; she just looked thoughtful.
"We're all having a big meal here, but Mr. Gu... isn't he all alone at home?"
"Isn't that right? He's been quieter these past few days, as if he's gone back to his old aloof self." Xue Bai sighed, his days with Gu Ye were getting harder again.
"Gu Ye bought all of these, right?" Ye Xiaoxiao changed the subject and winked at Xue Bai.
Xue Bai immediately understood and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it was the boss who asked me to buy and deliver it. He even ordered a month's worth, so fresh seafood will be delivered for the next month."
He wasn't lying about that; he really did use Gu Ye's money to order these seafood.
"We're eating his food, but we're leaving him alone at home. Isn't that a bit unfair?" Ye Xiaoxiao's words were loaded with meaning.
