I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 259 - : Loving Wontons

Chapter 259 -259: Loving Wontons

“Xiao Yi, where are you heading?”

Zhong Xiaoyi heard the driver’s question while she was still thinking, then she saw the message sent by her friend.

“Huxin Island Cafe. I’m setting up the navigation.”

The Huxin Island Cafe is about half an hour’s drive from Mi Chen, situated in the outskirts of Jiang City, in the middle of a lake.

This coffee shop is located on a small island in the middle of the lake, connected only by a bridge. The cafe is popular on social media and attracts quite a few visitors on weekends for a trip and to check in.

Today, being a weekday morning, there were only two or three customers inside the cafe.

“Gu Hanchen’s official announcement of his girlfriend has topped the trending searches.”

“Gu Hanchen can be considered Jiang City’s number one eligible bachelor. Young, handsome, from a good family, and he even established his own listed company without relying on family connections. His girlfriend must have saved the Galaxy in her past life.”

“Do you really believe he started his own business without family help?”

“Regardless, Gu Hanchen has good taste, she’s pretty.”

“She’s had plastic surgery, obviously.”

“Even if it’s plastic surgery, she looks very beautiful. Wonder how much it cost to look like that.”

Zhong Xiaoyi didn’t expect to hear people discussing her relationship with Gu Hanchen even in the cafe.

Shi Shi, who was making coffee, saw Zhong Xiaoyi and waved, saying, “Xiao Yi.”

Zhong Xiaoyi walked up to Shi Shi, who handed her a cup of coffee and said, “Just made this; what’s going on with you and Gu Hanchen? Such a big thing and you didn’t tell me? Are we even best friends anymore?”

Zhong Xiaoyi took the coffee, her face turned red as she remembered the coffee from this morning, and replied, “We just confirmed our relationship this morning.”

Shi Shi said, “Wow, you really managed to become Mrs. Gu.”

Zhong Xiaoyi shyly replied, “We’ve just confirmed our relationship. Marriage is still a long way off.”

Shi Shi asked, “Why is your face so red?”

Zhong Xiaoyi used the back of her hand to cool her face, “Maybe it’s because it’s hot outside.”

“Are you still going to study abroad in Australia?”

Zhong Xiaoyi answered, “Yes, I am.”

Shi Shi took out her phone and said, “I just saw a lot of hateful comments about you, which made me so angry. Some even said you’ve had plastic surgery, saying that if it’s not plastic surgery, they’d cut off his own head to kick around like a ball. I really want to find him and have him cut off his head so I can kick it around.”

Zhong Xiaoyi took a sip of her coffee and said, “There’s all sorts of stuff online. Gu Hanchen’s reputation on the internet has always been mixed, especially with Mi Chen’s players and some parents cursing him a lot. Just ignore those mean comments.”

Shi Shi replied, “You’ve got a good temper.”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Honestly, I do mind a little, but I really haven’t had plastic surgery. Internet users can say whatever they want.”

Zhong Xiaoyi and Shi Shi went to drink coffee by the lake and chatted.

By noon, Zhong Xiaoyi received a call from Gu Hanchen.

“Have you had lunch yet?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’ve had some coffee and a small cake, so I don’t need to eat lunch.”

“Where are you?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “At Huxin Island Cafe, chatting with a classmate.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Open the video, I want to see you.”

Zhong Xiaoyi started the video and showed Gu Hanchen the scenery of Huxin Island Cafe, “This place is very beautiful.”

“Indeed, the green area opposite is perfect for a wedding,” Gu Hanchen said.

As Zhong Xiaoyi flipped the camera, she didn’t know how to respond to Gu Hanchen’s words.

Shi Shi leaned toward Zhong Xiaoyi’s phone, “Mr. Gu looks good, he’s much more handsome in the video than in the photos online.”

Gu Hanchen, pleased by the compliment, said, “You have good taste, next time you’re Xiaoyi’s bridesmaid, I’ll give you a huge red envelope.”

Shi Shi raised her left hand, showing off the sparkling diamond ring on the phone screen, “Mr. Gu, I got married right after I graduated from university last year, so I can’t be Xiaoyi’s bridesmaid.”

Zhong Xiaoyi asked Gu Hanchen on the phone, “Brother Hanchen, did you call for any particular reason?”

Gu Hanchen replied, “No particular reason, just wanted to see my girlfriend.”

Zhong Xiaoyi met Shi Shi’s suggestive gaze and her face turned even redder; she quickly hung up the call.

Shi Shi smiled suggestively at Zhong Xiaoyi, “Ah, the sour smell of love.”

Zhong Xiaoyi saw that several customers entered the cafe and said, “We have customers, you better get busy, I’m heading back.”

Shi Shi laughed, “Have time for a meal together before you leave the country?”

“Sure.”

Zhong Xiaoyi returned to Jiangjing No.1, rearranged the luggage she had packed in the morning back into her room.

Seeing the ingredients from Gu Manor inside the refrigerator, she put on an apron to make wontons for Gu Hanchen.

After finishing the wontons, Zhong Xiaoyi heard the door open; she left the kitchen and walked to the living room.

There she saw Gu Hanchen entering in a wheelchair.

Gu Hanchen chuckled at Zhong Xiaoyi, “Are you cooking?”

“Yeah, I just finished making wontons, do you want to eat them now? If yes, I’ll cook them right away.”

Gu Hanchen nodded, “Yes.”

Cooking wontons didn’t take much time; after Zhong Xiaoyi served the wontons on the dining table, Gu Hanchen started snapping several photos with his phone.

Zhong Xiaoyi watched as Gu Hanchen posted the freshly taken photos on social media: “Wontons made by my girlfriend, some people will never get to eat the wontons filled with love that their girlfriends make.”

The likes on this social media post weren’t as numerous as the ones in the morning.

But Gu Hanchen didn’t care; he wasn’t content with just showing off in his circle of friends, he also sent a video from various angles to Chu Lin to brag.

“My girlfriend rolled the dough, chopped the filling, and cooked the wontons all by herself…”

Zhong Xiaoyi watched Gu Hanchen bragging and said, “Brother Hanchen, they’re not that well made…”

Gu Hanchen insisted, “No, you’ve done a great job.”

Gu Hanchen also didn’t forget to show off in the company executives’ chat group.

In the Mi Chen executives’ chat group, they couldn’t just ignore it and started to praise Zhong Xiaoyi’s cooking skills, commending Gu Hanchen’s happiness.

Yuan Xi had just gotten home from work when she saw that Gu Hanchen had specifically created a small group chat for her and Huo Shiyuan, posting a few photos of the wontons before sending a voice message.

“I get it now, no wonder you two didn’t want to tell me about Zhong Xiaoyi’s secret crush on me, it must be because you’re jealous.”

As Yuan Xi was listening to the voice message from Gu Hanchen, she saw Huo Shiyuan walking out with the two children for a stroll in the garden.

Yuan Xi said, “Why would we be jealous of you?”

Gu Hanchen replied, “Jealous of my happiness. In the past, Huo Shiyuan was just sending you meals, but my girlfriend personally makes wontons for me, and Huo Shiyuan will never get to eat the wontons you make!”

Huo Shiyuan walked up to Yuan Xi, looked at her chat screen, took her phone, and sent a voice message to Gu Hanchen, “It’s not like we don’t have chefs at home, I’d hate to see Xiao Xi strain herself making wontons for me.”

Gu Hanchen quickly replied with a message, “Stop denying it, I’ve at least had wontons made by Yuan Xi a few times, you haven’t had that, have you? The chef’s wontons are soulless; only those made by a girlfriend are filled with love, you’re just jealous of me!”

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and asked, “Did the car accident mess up Gu Hanchen’s brain?”

Yuan Xi shrugged and said, “He’s always been this way, let him show off for a few days. Once Xiaoyi goes abroad to study, he’ll calm down.”
