Chapter 386 The Secret Plan in the Kitchen
Jiang Ning didn't say it, but he knew it clearly in his heart.
She decided that she had to at least do something and not just think about it and let it go. Otherwise, she would disappoint Gu Yuan again.
On a quiet weekend morning, the sunlight shines through the gauze curtains and onto the bedroom floor, creating mottled light and shadows.
Jiang Ning woke up early. She got up from the bed quietly, afraid to disturb Gu Yuan who was still sleeping.
She put on her soft dressing gown and tiptoed into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Jiang Ning began her secret plan.
She opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients she had prepared last night: fresh blueberries, strawberries and bananas, as well as a freshly opened bottle of honey.
She washed and sliced the fruits and placed them on an exquisite porcelain plate. Each piece of fruit looked like a carefully selected work of art.
Then, she put the pre-fermented dough into the oven, and soon, the aroma of bread filled the whole room.
At the same time, Jiang Ning also prepared latte coffee for two people. She carefully pulled out a heart-shaped milk foam pattern, and every drop of milk carried her love for Gu Yuan.
She set up breakfast on the dining table, covered it with her favorite plaid tablecloth, and lit a few candles, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.
When Jiang Ning stood beside the carefully decorated dining table, waiting for Gu Yuan to appear, her mood was complicated and full of anticipation.
Her heart was beating faster than usual and her palms were slightly sweaty, a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
She knew that she was preparing a special gift for Gu Yuan. This gift was not expensive jewelry or gorgeous clothes, but love woven with time and thought.
A warm current surged in Jiang Ning's heart as she recalled all the little things Gu Yuan had done for her. Those unintentional expressions of care and support were an indispensable part of their relationship.
She realized that despite the amount of energy she put into her work, balance and focus were equally important in the world of love.
Today, she hopes to convey her gratitude and love to Gu Yuan through this small gesture.
Her eyes would drift towards the kitchen door from time to time, and her heart would beat with every sound of footsteps.
When Gu Yuan was awakened by the tempting aroma, he walked towards the restaurant with a hint of curiosity and anticipation.
When Gu Yuan finally appeared in her sight, a bright smile broke out on her face, which was the joy and satisfaction from the bottom of her heart.
She saw the surprise and emotion in Gu Yuan's eyes, and at that moment, she knew she had done the right thing.
The moment he opened the door, his eyes were immediately attracted by everything in front of him.
On the dining table, the candlelight flickered as if performing an elegant dance, illuminating Jiang Ning's smiling face.
There was a warm light shining in her eyes, like the bright stars in the night sky.
Gu Yuan's heart was deeply touched at this moment. He walked closer to Jiang Ning involuntarily, and put his arms around her slender waist like a gentle breeze. Then he slowly lowered his head and gave her a feather-soft kiss on her forehead.
Jiang Ning's mood reached a climax in Gu Yuan's embrace. She felt his warmth and strength, which was the solid foundation of their life together.
The words she whispered in his ear were not only an apology for the past, but also a promise for the future.
She decided to cherish every minute they spent together and no longer let work and busyness be an excuse to ignore each other.
On this special morning, Jiang Ning's heart was filled with love and hope.
She believed that as long as they supported and understood each other, no matter how many challenges there were in the future, their love would be like today's breakfast, simple yet rich, plain yet profound, and memorable.
Gu Yuan whispered:
"Jiang Ning, you always bring me unexpected surprises. This love is so precious that I don't know how to repay you."
His voice was low and full of gratitude, as if every word flowed from the depths of his heart.
Jiang Ning looked up at him, with a smile and affection in his eyes, and asked softly:
"Gu Yuan, I hope you can understand that no matter how busy I am, you will always be the most important person in my life. Therefore, I specially prepared all this for you. Do you like it?"
They sat side by side and enjoyed together this wonderful breakfast woven with love.
Gu Yuan carefully cut off a small piece of bread and gently put it into his mouth.
The bread was soft and delicate, with a hint of wheat aroma, which made his taste buds dance on the tip of his tongue. The crispy outside and soft inside made him close his eyes and savor it carefully.
Jiang Ning took a sip of coffee and watched every change in Gu Yuan's expression with satisfaction.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and they only had each other in their world.
In this simple breakfast, they found comfort in each other's hearts and deepened their understanding and appreciation of each other's love.
Although this love is not ostentatious, it grows quietly in every tiny movement and eye contact, becoming more firm and profound.
When Gu Yuan and Jiang Ning sat side by side at the warmly decorated dining table, the air around them was filled with the aroma of food and the faint scent of burning candles, and Jiang Ning's cheeks turned as red as a newly blooming peach blossom.
She gently stirred the coffee in the cup, and her lively eyes glanced at Gu Yuan from time to time, but she quickly retracted her gaze before he noticed, as if she was afraid of revealing the little secret in her heart.
In this little world that belonged only to the two of them, Jiang Ning felt an indescribable shyness.
She is usually so decisive and confident in the workplace, but whenever she faces Gu Yuan, she can always find her original innocence and shyness.
Today's breakfast is not only her compensation to Gu Yuan, but also a kind of care and yearning for love from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Yuan caught Jiang Ning's inadvertent shyness. He raised a gentle smile and tried to break the silence with a light-hearted word:
"Jiang Ning, the fruit seems to be extra sweet today. Did you cast some magic?"
As he spoke, he picked up a bright red strawberry with a fork and handed it to Jiang Ning.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle, and the blush on her face became more obvious.
She took the strawberry handed to her by Gu Yuan and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste blossomed on her tongue, as if it was a true reflection of her mood at the moment.
She responded playfully: "Maybe, my magic is to make every day of yours better than yesterday."
Gu Yuan looked at Jiang Ning's shy and playful appearance, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He knew that this was a rare moment when Jiang Ning showed her weak side, and he wanted to give her more comfort and affirmation.
He slowly stretched out his right hand and gently covered Jiang Ning's left hand on the table, his eyes firm and gentle:
"Jiang Ning, your magic has taken effect. I feel extremely happy now."
Through such interactions, Jiang Ning's shyness gradually turned into happiness and peace of mind.
She knew that no matter how noisy the outside world was, as long as Gu Yuan was by her side, she could take off all her disguises and show her true self.
This shyness became a beautiful landscape in their love story, bringing the two hearts closer and making their relationship deeper and more sincere.
