C10 Embarrassment at the Table

A few days ago, Gu Fenglan had told Su Jiayao to go to her home to eat when she had free time. Coincidentally, today's studio order had been completed, so Su Jia Yao had to take a day off. Thinking about his agreement with Mother Gu, he decided to eat at her house today.

In the evening, Su Jiayao saw that it was almost time, so she packed up and prepared to go to Gu Fenglan's place.

Once they reached the Mu family's residence, the Gu family servants took the gifts Su Jiayao had brought with them as soon as they entered the house. Su Jiayao looked around the living room, but didn't see Mother Gu.

"Where's Mom?" Su Jia Yao changed into slippers and asked.

"Miss Yao Yao, Madame is preparing dinner in the kitchen!" The servant beside him answered respectfully.

Su Jia Yao nodded her head and the servant left. Su Jiayao walked towards the kitchen by herself.

Just as he entered the kitchen, he saw his mother humming a small tune while slicing celery. How comfortable!

"Mother, isn't there a chef at home? Why are you still cooking for yourself? " Su Jiayao walked over to the kitchen counter and picked up a glass basin that was placed beside the sink. She began to peel the potatoes.

Hearing Su Jiayao's voice, Mother Gu raised her head, "Aren't you coming today? Of course the godmother has to cook herself. "

Hearing Gu Ruoyun's words, Su Jiayao mischievously stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly: "Thank you, mother!" She didn't forget to give Gu Mu a kiss on the cheek as she finished speaking.

"Ouch!" Having been played by Su Jiayao, Gu Mu's mother was overjoyed!

"I didn't say anything, if this person is pleasing to your eyes, you can do whatever she wants." "How old are you to act so coquettishly to me? If I were to marry Yu Chen in the future, I'd have to mature a little."

Hearing Gu Ruoyun's words, Su Jiayao's face stiffened. As she thought of the girl beside Mu Yuchen, Su Jiayao felt that her current status was extremely awkward. No matter what, he felt like he was a third party to someone else's relationship. Despite the fact that he already had a female pig leg, he was still shamelessly leaning on it.

"That... "Godmother, I'll help you do it." In order to prevent Mother Gu from continuing, Su Jiayao volunteered to help with the cooking.

"Sure, why don't you fry this mushroom and rape first." Mother Gu did not refuse. She knew Su Jiayao's culinary skills had always been excellent.

The two of them busied themselves in the kitchen for nearly an hour before they finished cooking a table full of dishes.

"Yao Yao, go wash your hands and prepare to eat. I'm guessing that Yu Chen will be back from work soon." Mother Gu did the final chores, urging Su Jiayao to leave.

Su Jia Yao complied and then left the kitchen.

Thinking that Mu Yuchen would be back soon, Su Jiayao felt a little nervous. In the past, when no one had said anything, Su Jiayao didn't think much of it when she came over.

However, it was different now. Everything had been revealed publicly. The most important thing was that Mu Yuchen already had a girlfriend. She had always felt that she was out of place when she came to eat. Although she had eaten here dozens of times, today's meal was the most awkward she had ever had.

Perhaps in the future, she thought, she shouldn't come here so casually anymore. After all, everyone had grown up. There were some things that should be avoided.

There are some things that you don't want to do, but that doesn't mean that others don't want to think about them!

Mother Gu came out of the kitchen and saw Su Jiayao standing by the dining table in a daze. She then asked, "Yaoyao, what kind of god is walking here? Why don't you wash your hands?"

After being asked by Gu Ruoyun's mother, Su Jiayao finally walked out of her thoughts and went to the bathroom.

When he came out, the tableware had already been set up by the servants. Su Jiayao could only help him carry the dishes. The servants didn't even need her help. Su Jiayao smiled and said that she was fine, while continuing to help him. The servant looked towards Gu Bei, but Gu Mu's gaze indicated that he didn't need to care. Thus, the servant had no choice but to follow Su Jiayao.

Just as Su Jiayao finished carrying the dishes, she heard the sound of a car's engine turning off, and then she saw Mu Yuchen walk in with a suit over her arm.

As soon as Mu Yuchen entered, she saw Su Jiayao busily working at the dining table. He took a quick glance before lowering his head to change into his slippers. After he was done, he walked to the living room. He placed his suit on the sofa, loosened his tie, and headed towards the dining hall.

"Brother Yuchen." Su Jia Yao took the initiative to greet him.

"Yes." Mu Yuchen indifferently replied with a cold expression.

"Wait a little longer. There's one more dish. We'll be eating soon." Although she saw that Mu Yuchen didn't care about her, Su Jiayao still said a few more words.

She clearly knew that Mu Yuchen would certainly speak to her in such a manner, but Su Jiayao still felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

This time, Mu Yuchen was too lazy to even respond with a simple "Mm" and just sat down.

"The braised carp is here!" Mother Gu carried the fish out of the pot and walked out full of interest. Seeing that Mu Yuchen had already returned, she warmly said, "Eat your food."

Mu Yuchen picked up her chopsticks and wordlessly ate her meal, an icy expression on her face. She didn't say a single word, making Su Jia Yao want to say something, but after seeing Mu Yuchen's unapproachable appearance, she didn't say anything.

When Mother Gu saw that the two of them eating without a single thought, she felt that the atmosphere was very awkward and thought of ways to break this awkward situation.

Old Gu repeated the same trick and lightly nudged Su Jia Yao's arm with her elbow. At the same time, she indicated with her eyes that Su Jia Yao should prepare some food for Mu Yu Chen. As Su Jia Yao was focused on eating, she suddenly noticed that someone was touching her. She raised her head and discovered that it was Mother Gu. After she understood what Mother Gu meant, Su Jia Yao picked up a prawn and placed it in front of Mu Yu Chen.

"Brother Yuchen, this is your favorite shrimp. How about you try it and see how it tastes?" Su Jia Yao carefully asked.

"Yes, quickly try it!" These dishes, ah, were all personally prepared by Yao Yao. " Gu Mu's mother was afraid that Mu Yuchen would reject Su Jiayao the way she had rejected Su Jiayao at the Wan Huan City. Thus, she busied herself with speaking up for her mother.

The moment she heard her mother say that these dishes were personally cooked by Su Jiayao, a flash of shock passed through Mu Yuchen's eyes. However, it only lasted for a moment, and no one noticed it.

He didn't expect Su Jiayao to know how to cook. He remembered that before he left for the country, Su Jiayao was still a lady who lived like a prince. When did she learn how to cook?

Seeing that her mother had already said this to Su Jiayao, Mu Yuchen didn't refuse and ate the prawn. It had to be said that Su Jia Yao's cooking skills were quite good. Compared to the one he had at Wan Jia Village, her cooking skills were not inferior in the slightest. The prawns were tender and tasty. While the prawns were being cooked, they were also very good at locking in the original taste of the prawns.

Mu Yuchen thought that she had a very picky taste, but she had to admit that the dishes Su Jiayao cooked really suited her taste. Even so, Mu Yuchen's expression still remained the same as she faintly evaluated.

"The taste is good."

Although Su Jiayao knew that Mu Yuchen was saying this, and that most of the time she was just fawning over her, after hearing Mu Yuchen say this, the corners of Su Jiayao's mouth unconsciously raised into a smile. Immediately afterwards, she picked up a prawn and placed it over.

"No need, I won't eat." It was another simple and straightforward rejection.

Hearing Mu Yuchen's words, Su Jiayao unhappily took back her chopsticks. This was already the second time she had acted like this. This was only the third time. In the future, she thought, she would never serve food to Mu Yuchen again.

Without expectation, there would be no harm!

That's right! Of course he didn't want to eat it. If it was Qin Yuyan, he would definitely like it. There was nothing wrong with the prawns themselves, they were merely human beings that were not the right people.

"Then let's eat some fish. Mom has been cooking this Red Braised Carp for a long time." When Mother Gu saw that the originally harmonious atmosphere between the two had turned stiff, she could only say something to ease the tension.

"I'm done eating." This time, Mu Yuchen didn't even give Mother Gu any face. She coldly put down her bowl and chopsticks, turned around, and walked upstairs.

Looking at Mu Yuchen's back, Su Jiayao's grip on the chopsticks couldn't help but grow stronger. She bit her lower lip, trying her best to restrain herself; she didn't want to cry.

In the later years, whenever Su Jiayao recalled her past, she would always feel a trace of pity and even ridicule.

However, at this moment, she was really sad. She thought back to when she was young, the two of them weren't like this at all. Why did they become like this?

"Yaoyao, don't think too much." Mother Gu also noticed the change in Su Jiayao's mood. She patted Su Jiayao's hand and comforted her, "Perhaps something happened to A Chen today at work that caused him to be in a bad mood. It wasn't because of you, ah."

Su Jia Yao raised her head. The stiff corner of her mouth forcefully pulled up into a smile that was even uglier than crying. In her heart, she clearly knew what had happened to Mu Yuchen.

After that, Su Jia Yao did not have the mood to eat anymore. She ate a little bit, then put down her chopsticks.
