"Uncle, please don't be polite. After so many years, I haven't had time to come back to visit my uncle. I hope you won't be offended."
"How could it be? Then come and sit more often when you are free. Your aunt and I are bored at home...and I still miss the thyme French stewed eggs you made. Although I am older and eat more desserts.
It’s not good, but every time I talk about it, my mouth wateres...”
When Gu Ruohan heard this, she was secretly happy. Although she had been away for so many years, Cheng De still liked her. Then it would be much easier to get back together with Haochen.
With a sweet smile on her face, she said softly: "Since uncle likes to eat, I will make more for you to eat in the future."
Cheng De happily agreed.
The reason why Gu Ruohan is good at French stewed eggs with thyme is because Cheng Haochen loves to eat them.
At that time, in order to make him happy, she went to learn how to make this dessert. She practiced it several times every day, and it took several months of practice before she could reach the level of a five-star chef.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Haochen inherited his father's taste, and Cheng De also liked this dessert very much.
In the past, she often came to Cheng's house to make this dessert to make him and his son happy...
While talking, Cheng Haochen came back from the company.
When he saw Gu Ruohan, he exchanged casual greetings for a while, then excused himself to being tired and went back to the room.
Although Gu Ruohan felt disappointed, she knew that she had to be patient and take things step by step. Going too hasty would be counterproductive.
So, she was prepared to wait patiently.
…………
For a whole period of time, Gu Ruohan came to Cheng's house frequently.
She played chess, golf, and watched her least favorite drama with Cheng De; she also accompanied Haochen's mother, Zhang Manqing, for walks, planted flowers, and learned cooking skills, which made Cheng De and his wife smile from ear to ear.
Sometimes she would even go to her own father to win over the two future parents-in-law, in order to improve her status in their minds.
But Cheng Haochen has always been lukewarm towards her and always kept an appropriate distance.
The parents of the two families would sometimes go out to have dinner together just for the sake of the two of them, creating opportunities for the two of them to be together. Cheng Haochen was also very polite and distant in his words to her.
She knew that he might need time to ease some things, so she could only continue to wait.
……………………
On this day, she came to Cheng's house again and brought her pet "Beibei" with her when she came out.
