"Because this year is different from previous years."

Zeng Minglang laughed and said, "Who asked you to fool me with your fake boyfriend? I didn't want to cause conflicts between you and him, so I didn't write you a love letter."

"You mean to blame me?"

Gu Luoke pursed her lips, "If you hadn't always pestered me, I wouldn't have gotten mad and did this just to spite you."

"How could I blame you?"

Zeng Minglang put his arms around Gu Luoke's waist, "Although I didn't write a love letter this year, I told you personally."

"Where is it?"

Gu Luoke deliberately denied it, "Why didn't I know?"

"Loke, I like you, I love you."

Zeng Minglang said it openly, "How? Now you hear it?"

"Hate."

Gu Luoke pushed Zeng Minglang away and said, "Hurry up and cook. Everyone is waiting for the banquet to begin."

"Okay, I'll do my job as a chef first. When we have time, let's discuss it again. Let me confess to you, why do you hate it?"

Zeng Minglang knew that Gu Luoke was shy and deliberately teased her.

"Ignore you, I will bring these dishes to the table first."

Gu Luoke put several dishes on the tray and sent them to the restaurant. He came back several times and placed the dishes prepared by Zeng Mingliang on the dining table.

"Hey, how can we keep Luo Ke busy? It's my turn."

Zeng's mother was about to get up, but Nie Qinru stopped her, "It's okay, let the young couple do it by themselves. Let's just wait for it to be served."

"Alright."

Zeng's mother smiled and nodded, "Only when two people cooperate with each other can it be interesting."

The doorbell rang, Gu Luoke went to open the door and saw that Gu Shenyan had arrived.

"The in-laws are here."

Zeng’s mother called to Gu Shenyan, “Come here and sit and chat.”

"good."

Gu Shenyan sat next to Nie Qinru and took the teacup handed to him by his great father, "Thank you."

"It's rare that you all come here as guests today. The Zeng family is rarely so lively."

With a smile on her face, her great-grandmother said, "Ming Lang has loved going to the old house since he was a child, and I will even have the opportunity to go there in the future."

"Yes, we will all be a family from now on."

Nie Qinru responded with a smile, "If you want to be lively, just give us a shout and we will come with your family. Xiaoran doesn't want to have to toss the two babies back and forth. After all, they are still too young, so they didn't come this time."

"The baby is too young, so we still have to take care of them. You can eat at any time."

Zeng’s mother echoed Nie Qinru’s words, “In the future, we will all be a family, and we will definitely get along more with each other on a daily basis.”

"What are they talking about? They sound very happy."

Zeng Minglang asked Gu Luoke while turning the pot and cooking.

"Let's talk about eating."

Gu Luoke sent the photos she took to Moments with the text: [My boyfriend is a chef, give it a like.]

Lin Xiaoxiaomiao commented: [Wow, if Chef Zeng takes action, you will know if there is any.]

Milo: [Loke is really good at eating. These dishes are delicious just by looking at them. 】

Qian Li: [It makes me drool, but Gao Yang is too busy and has no time to learn cooking skills. He is no better than Chef Zeng.]

Yu Li: [I’m so envious that you have a boyfriend who knows both coldness and hotness.]

Xiao Li: [Wow, I’m full of dog food. I don’t need to eat at lunch today.]

You Xiaoran: [Too bad, I didn’t go today. Just lick the screen.]

Gu Luojia: [You are showing off your affection in a fancy way, I learned it.]

Lu Yixin: [You should say ‘My future husband is a chef’ and show your affection more thoroughly. 】

Qiao An'an: [When I look at these pictures, I want to fly over and eat them immediately.]

Gu Luoke: [If there is an opportunity another day, I will ask Zeng Mingliang to prepare a table of dishes for everyone to taste. Whether he is a real chef remains to be assessed. ]

Lin Xiaoxiao: [Hahaha, then I will wait for the notification. As soon as you call, I will be in place. I have never been ambiguous about eating. 】

You Xiaoran: [Okay, let’s have a party. 】

Lu Yixin: [Luo Jia and I are ready to make a move, but it’s a pity that we are far apart. ]

Gu Luoke: [If a plane ticket can solve the problem, I will book a plane ticket for you.]

Qiao An'an: [There is also me, dragging my family and my family away. 】

A group of women brings a lot of joy.

Gu Luoke laughed while replying to the comment. Zeng Minglang leaned his head over and asked, "What are you looking at? Are you laughing so happily?"

"I posted your cooking, and everyone commented and liked it almost instantly."

Gu Luoke generously turned the phone screen to Zeng Minglang, "Is this enough for you to be proud of?"

"Then I do have the capital to be proud of."

Zeng Minglang smiled and nodded, "My title as a chef is not false. It is real and worthy of scrutiny."

"Look at you, your tail is almost sticking up to the sky."

Gu Luoke shook his head in amusement, "Hurry up and start cooking. How many more dishes are there?"

“The last steamed fish.”

Zeng Minglang stuffed the fish body with onions, ginger and garlic and put it into the steamer. "It will be ready in ten minutes."

"You've been busy all morning, right?"

Gu Luoke looked sideways at Zeng Minglang, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

Zeng Minglang shook his head, "Today is when I am showing off my talents and performing well, how can I complain that I am tired?"

"That's true."

Gu Luoke nodded solemnly, "We are here for lunch today. How embarrassing would it be if you messed up?"

"Do you remember what I said?"

Zeng Minglang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Luoke.

"What words?"

Gu Luoke didn't react as soon as he entered, "You said so many words, how can I remember which one it was?"

Zeng Minglang raised his hand and flicked Gu Luoke's forehead, "I said, if you can't find fault, you have to grant me one wish."

"Oh, just say it, why are you playing with me?"

Gu Luoke raised her hand to cover her forehead and stared at Zeng Minglang angrily.

"If I don't play you, how will you remember it?"

Zeng Minglang laughed and coaxed Gu Luoke, "It's my fault that I'm not angry anymore."

"It was your fault in the first place."

Gu Luoke emphasized her tone, "You bullied me again. Haven't you bullied me enough since you were a child?"

"Sorry, I won't dare to do it anymore."

Zeng Minglang said with a smile, "Let's go back to each other, and I will let you bully me from now on."

"That's pretty much it."

Gu Luoke raised her hand and pinched Zeng Minglang's waist hard, "If you make me angry, I will pinch you."

"Come on, I'll let you pinch me."

Zeng Minglang turned around and said, "If you don't think it's enough to relieve your anger, I'll give you a pinch here."

"Hate."

Gu Luoke pushed Zeng Minglang away, "I'm not you. I always like to bully others."

"The stupid things I did when I was young were really just to attract your attention."

Zeng Minglang hugged Gu Luoke, "Now that I think about it, it's really funny. But at that time, I didn't realize that those industries were wrong."

"Okay, I forgive you."
