Gu Jinhang said, “Yao Yao is busy in the backyard. The ingredients are in the kitchen! Take a look while I get someone to call for Yao Yao.”

“Oh! All right, I’ll go now.”

Ji Mingyue turned and went to the kitchen.

Ji Mingyue was very respectful towards Gu Jinhang. His status was higher even than her oldest brother and he was famous both for his abilities and his tactics. Among the talented young people in the capital, his family background might not be the best, but he was certainly one of the most competent.

Ji Mingyue almost instinctively obeyed such a capable and important person.

A smile flashed across Gu Jinhang’s eyes when he saw the girl walk towards the kitchen. He sauntered over as well. He had no intention of calling his younger cousin.

She was busy cooing at Mo Beihan! She was too busy to come over. As her older cousin, he felt that he had better not disrupt the young lovers. That would be wrong!

Ji Mingyue reached the Gu kitchen. Their kitchen was very large. As a cultured family, they were very particular about certain things.

When they were staying in their hometown, they were in no condition to be particular about such things. They also had to be thrifty and avoid being seen as extravagant or wasteful.

Now no one was bothered about such things. As long as they had the money, they could enjoy what they liked.

The Gu family was not extravagant, but they certainly lived well.

The kitchen had to provide food for the entire family, so it was very large. Much larger than the kitchen of most ordinary families.

When Ji Mingyue entered, she was shocked by the kitchen full of ingredients!

She knew that the Gu family was particular about food, and the kitchen was usually well-stocked. She knew it from the first time she had come to the Gu house with Gu Qingyao, and had seen the kind of detailed attention that Gu Qingyao had paid to her cooking.

But today, the array of ingredients was dazzling.

There was meat and vegetables, things that flew, things that ran and things that swam. They were all there.

Gu Jinhang followed closely behind. Ji Mingyue said, “Second Brother Gu, there’s… there’s too much!”

Gu Jinhang smiled gently. He had been born in a cultured family like the Gus and had been well-taught since young. This had naturally molded his disposition.

“I didn’t know what you would like to cook, or want to cook, so I just prepared more. Anyway, the house is very lively on weekends. I’m sure we can finish everything.”

When he said that, he added nonchalantly, “If we can’t finish today, we can use them tomorrow. Cooking is not something that can be learnt in a day or two. Yao Yao is home all the time now. You can come and learn from her every day.”

Ji Mingyue: …

That seemed to make sense.

“Thank you, Second Brother Gu!”

Gu Jinhang had always been very nice to her. There were wild rumors outside about how he was as cunning as a fox, but he showed no trace of that here.

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Your older brother and I are good friends. We are on good terms. It’s only right that I take care of you.”

Ji Mingyue: …

She was not used to such an important person, whom she did not know very well, suddenly being so nice to her. He even seemed to be very familiar with her.

Gu Qingyao still did not come. The Gu kitchen was very large, but Gu Jinhang’s presence was very imposing. There were only two of them in the room. Ji Mingyue felt stifled by his presence. She grew rather disconcerted.

When Gu Jinhang saw the state she was in, he said, “I heard from your older brother that you’ve been feeling down lately. He’s looking for a match for you now.. He even asked if I know anyone who might be suitable to introduce to you.”
