Chapter 733: You are my girlfriend; I give you this right.

“Ah!” she exclaimed, as if having remembered something.
He became more expectant when he saw how she was looking at him with wide eyes.
This stupid woman must have realized that he had made those dishes from before!
Hmph, hmph, hmph, and she said she had never eaten the food he made; what would she say now?
He could not help but look forward to her reaction.
“Ziming, I forgot! This is the first time you’ve cooked for me; I’ve got to take a picture to commemorate this!”
After she spoke, she got up from the chair and took a photo of the food on the table using her phone.
“…” He fell silent when she did that. His original expectation turned to disappointment.
Ah, so she hasn’t found out yet…
Could it be that his cooking had improved so much recently, and that was why this stupid woman could not tell that this was cooked by the same person before?
Still, no matter how much his cooking had improved, this woman should be able to guess it a little from the taste!
She is a stupid woman, indeed.
As he was grumbling about her to himself, he did not realize that she was smiling with eyes full of playfulness.
“Pfft!”
Looking at his disappointed and gloomy face, she burst out laughing.
“Ziming, how can you be so adorable!”
“Err…?” Hearing her laugh, he looked at her a little confusedly.
“Ha ha! Tell me honestly; when exactly did you start liking me?”
She looked at him with a smile, her eyes gentle and tender.
“?” He stared at her in confusion, not saying anything.
Truthfully, he really did not get what she meant.
“My lunch when I received lessons at Bauhinia Court was made by you, right?”
She gazed at him with slightly misty eyes.
In that moment, she was happy and shocked.
She did not expect that what he had said earlier in the kitchen would be true.
She really did not expect that this man would learn cooking just for her…
“Before I went to Tianjin, my three daily meals here…” As she spoke, her nose became tingly.
“… You made them, right?”
A subtle but warm and happy smile appeared on her lips.
Never did she anticipate him to do so much for her without her knowing it.
When a man was willing to learn to cook for a woman, that showed that he really cared and loved her.
For a pampered young master to learn cooking for her and cook meals for her without saying anything…
“Why are you so silly?! Why didn’t you say that you’ve been cooking for me for so long?! You just wanna see me cry, right?!”
She then thought of how she had lost her temper at him earlier. At that thought, tears streamed down her face.
“Why didn’t you say anything when I lost my temper at you earlier?”
Looking at the tears on her face, the man started panicking. He hurriedly got up from his seat and walked to her.
“Stupid woman, what are you crying for? It’s just cooking a meal.”
Feeling anxious to see this woman cry nonstop, he grabbed some tissue from the table and moved to dry her tears.
“Don’t cry…” He disliked seeing her cry as his heart would ache.
“I’m gonna cry! That’s what you get for lying to me!” She sniffled willfully.
“…”
He really did not know what to do with this woman before him. He took some more tissue and, as if she were a priceless treasure, gently dried the tears on her face.
Seeing how gentle and careful he was toward her, more tears rolled down her face like a broken faucet.
She was a highly emotional person with well-developed tear ducts. If even scenes in TV shows that were normally not tear-inducing could make her cry, what more could knowing that he had done so much for her?
How could she stop her tears from falling when she knew now of all the things he had done for her?
Thinking of their past experiences, she was extremely moved by him.
All the confusing memories of the past now made sense.
Why he always refused to let her go downstairs…
Why she got this feeling that something was going in the kitchen back then…
Why he made it a rule that she had to eat in the apartment…
Why she kept thinking that the chef’s cooking would improve every time she ate… It was all Ji Ziming…
She looked up with her teary eyes at the blurry figure of the man standing before her.
“Don’t lie to me next time! Even if it’s a surprise, you can’t keep things from me for that long…”
She sniffled and said this to the man between sobs.
“En, okay.” He nodded gently, staring at her. He never thought that so much would happen in the span of a meal.
He raised his hand and gently wiped her tears off again.
“Al-Also…” She sobbed and sniffled a little and then glanced up at him carefully.
“En, what else?” He looked at her patiently. This high and mighty man had fallen into the palm of her hand.
This CEO had never been so patient and gentle, not even to his parents.
“I’m sorry; I yelled at you for no reason today…”
“Dummy.” He reached out and patted her on the head when he heard that. “You’re my girlfriend; I give you the right to yell at me.”
