Chapter 507: Chapter 505 Emotional
The humble dining room of the Yu Family was illuminated by twinkling candlelight, adding a touch of romance.
The table was set with four dishes and a soup, a harmonious mix of meat and vegetables, vibrant and aromatic.
Qin Hao sat in front of the dining table, staring at the dishes, his stomach growling quietly.
In the kitchen, Yu Dongling, wearing an apron and a blissful smile, was stir-frying a plate of vegetables.
Her busy figure exuded warmth, and just by glancing at it, Qin Hao felt a wave of happiness stirring within him.
Quickly, Yu Dongling came out with the vegetables, set the dishes nicely, and said with a slightly embarrassed look, "Qin Hao, I hope you don’t mind the simplicity of the dishes..."
Qin Hao, already feeling his stomach rumbling, worried Yu Dongling might go back to cook more, gently pressed her down onto the chair with a smile and said, "No need to stand on ceremony, we’re like family, what’s the difference between feasting and enjoying a home-cooked meal?"
As he finished speaking, he hurried to the kitchen to serve rice, taking a large bowl for himself and another large bowl for Yu Dongling.
After serving the rice and sitting down, Qin Hao wasted no time digging in heartily.
Sweet, fragrant, spicy, delicious...
Five dishes with flavors enough to amaze the taste buds.
"Your cooking skills are divine, it’s been so long since I’ve had such tasty home-cooked food!"
As he devoured the meal, Qin Hao didn’t forget to give Yu Dongling a thumbs up.
Yu Dongling shyly smiled, glanced at Qin Hao, then lowered her head, "Stop teasing me. It’s just simple food, but if possible, next time I’d like to treat you to a feast..."
"Yeah, sure, next time we’ll have a feast, but it’s on me."
Qin Hao popped a piece of beef into his mouth, chewing with relish, his greasy appearance making Yu Dongling giggle, filling her heart with endless warmth.
"If you like it..."
For some reason, watching Qin Hao eat, Yu Dongling felt immensely satisfied, her mind filled with images of them eating together. Her heart racing, she gathered courage to add, "I could cook for you every day from now on!"
After saying this, Yu Dongling’s face turned bright red, reminiscent of a ripe tomato.
She knew her words carried a hint of flirtation, and she probably shouldn’t speak to Qin Hao like this since she was just an ordinary person whereas Qin Hao was so outstanding.
Yet, she couldn’t help but speak those suggestive words.
Because she realized that Qin Hao had already become an indelible presence in her mind.
"Okay..."
Qin Hao ate joyfully, not noticing Yu Dongling’s unusual expression, and after casually agreeing, he ate even more vigorously.
Yu Dongling was startled and as she raised her head, her eyes sparkling with spiritual light, her heart couldn’t contain her joy.
Did he really say okay?
Doesn’t that mean he’s willing to be with me?
Am I dreaming!
Yu Dongling was lost in dreams of future life, her face aglow with hopeful beauty.
After a large bowl of rice, Qin Hao let out a satiated burp and realized the dishes were almost finished.
Another glance at the bowl in front of Yu Dongling showed the rice was still plentiful.
It seemed... she barely ate anything?
Looking at the six clean plates, Qin Hao felt awkward, realizing he was too focused on eating and didn’t even consider Yu Dongling, as if he had devoured all the food...
"I’m really lacking in gentlemanly manners!"
Qin Hao silently berated himself, about to apologize when he noticed something off with Yu Dongling’s expression.
Love-struck, in a trance, full of yearning...
Is this girl daydreaming?
Qin Hao furrowed his brows, feeling things weren’t simple, thinking maybe this girl... had fallen for him?
At this moment, Yu Dongling asked puzzled, "Qin Hao, your expression seems a bit off?"
"Uh." Qin Hao snapped out of it, then changed the subject, pointing sheepishly at the six empty plates.
Yu Dongling understood, chuckled and said, "Hehe, are you a pig? You only just realized you finished all the dishes!"
After laughing, she added kindly, "Are you still hungry? I can stir-fry a couple more dishes..."
She was about to stand up but was stopped by Qin Hao, "No need, I’m quite full, but you didn’t seem to eat much, should we go out for a feast now...my treat."
"No need for a feast, I’m on a diet recently."
Yu Dongling had a small appetite, and being with Qin Hao already filled her with happiness, leaving her with no thought for food.
But seeing Qin Hao’s guilty look, she thought it necessary to eat something to change the subject, a clever idea struck her, "I won’t eat anymore, just remembered there’s a bottle of red wine in the fridge, should we have a little drink?"
"Sure."
Qin Hao knew better than to refuse, watching as Yu Dongling walked barefoot to the kitchen to fetch the red wine, open the bottle, and pour herself a small glass while pouring himself a large one.
Yu Dongling was displeased, pouting as she said, "Qin Hao, you’re so mean, you poured yourself so much and gave me just a little!"
Qin Hao put on a serious face, "Have you ever drunk alcohol, young lady? Do you know this small amount of red wine is equivalent to several glasses of beer? I’m worried you might get drunk and act out!"
After shamelessly saying that, Qin Hao raised his glass, drinking more than half of it in one gulp like a whale.
Drinking red wine is meant to be slow and elegant, and Qin Hao’s crude actions were comical, making Yu Dongling laugh again and again, as she raised her glass to down the rest of her wine.
Clang!
The glass hit the table, Yu Dongling’s cheeks turned rosy, and the scent of alcohol lingered from her nose and mouth.
She felt dizzy, seeing double images of Qin Hao, and dazedly said, "Uh, Qin Hao, the red wine is so good..."
"Really?"
Qin Hao was speechless, as a self-proclaimed god of drinking, he could easily tell that Yu Dongling was already drunk.
But the point was, red wine was known for its delayed effect, wasn’t this getting drunk a bit too quickly?
"Okay, you’re drunk, just sleep it off."
Qin Hao knew well the peril of drunkenness, helping Yu Dongling to the bedroom.
Just as he gently placed Yu Dongling on the bed, Qin Hao felt a tickle on his neck, realizing Yu Dongling was holding him.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Qin Hao’s body instantly tensed.
Yu Dongling was already half-drunk. Her consciousness was a bit muddled, unable to hear Qin Hao’s words.
Closing her eyes, her grip tightened, and Yu Dongling’s pretty face leaned against Qin Hao’s chest.
So warm, so comfortable...
The enveloping masculine scent made the dazed Yu Dongling feel dizzy, with only one thought in her mind: hold this body tighter!
So, she tightened her grip again, her soft body completely pressed against Qin Hao...
