Chapter 1525: Going to the Market

When Gu Lingling returned and opened the door, she smelled the aroma of the meal. Yang Yunhai popped his head out from the kitchen and glanced at her, "You’re back? The meal’s almost ready."

Gu Lingling smiled, changed her shoes, washed her hands, and went into the kitchen too.

She saw Yang Yunhai wearing her floral apron, cutting vegetables. She walked over and hugged him from behind.

"What’s wrong?" Yang Yunhai stopped, stood still, and asked, "Were you bullied?"

"No." Gu Lingling said with a smile, "I just wanted to hug you."

Returning home to see him busying himself in the kitchen, and a grown man wearing a floral apron without feeling embarrassed, but instead enjoying it thoroughly.

How could she not feel touched?

So, she really wanted to hug this earnest Yang Yunhai.

Yang Yunhai stood there letting her hug him, until, "...If you don’t let go soon, the water in the pot seems like it’s about to boil dry."

Gu Lingling blushingly let go of him.

Who knew that as soon as she turned around, Yang Yunhai turned off the heat and hugged her from behind.

"Reciprocation."

He said with a smile.

Gu Lingling’s ears turned red.

"We’ll eat in a bit." After hugging for a while, Yang Yunhai released her, smiling and said, "I made your favorite braised pork ribs."

"Are you free tomorrow evening?" Gu Lingling turned her head to ask him, "I want to invite Mo Hongying and her husband, as well as sister-in-law Zhang Lanfang and them, over for dinner. Is that okay?"

She was about to leave soon. Although she only spent less than a month here, her relationship with these two people had greatly improved.

"I’ll make time for it." Yang Yunhai said with a smile, "What do we need to prepare? Tell me, and I’ll let the guard buy it tomorrow."

Yang Yunhai actually rarely uses the guard.

"Uh... no need," Gu Lingling shook her head and said, "Hong Ying and I will go to the market early tomorrow morning. I heard there are fresh lambs at the market. How about hot pot for dinner?"

"More people makes hot pot lively, let’s have hot pot." Yang Yunhai knew Gu Lingling loved hot pot, and she hadn’t had it for a long time since coming here, surely she was craving it.

Gu Lingling felt a bit embarrassed at being seen through by him.

Yang Yunhai rubbed her hair, feeling like he was patting a little pet.

In the afternoon rehearsal, she formally invited Mo Hongying and Zhang Lanfang, and along the way also invited Fan Cuiling.

The little girl, upon hearing about dinner at Gu Lingling’s house, her eyes sparkled brightly.

The next day, because she was going to the market, Gu Lingling let the sisters practice singing on their own, and drove with Mo Hongying to the market.

She had been to this market before when she was in Nanshui Village.

But back then it wasn’t open, and the market was small, not limited to being this big.

"There are so many things here." Gu Lingling sighed.

Mo Hongying rarely bought food usually, but she often came to the market, mostly accompanying Zhang Lanfang.

Zhang Lanfang directly led them to buy lamb legs first, "The owner here is Huihui. I often bought meat from him before, nice guy."

Zhang Lanfang introduced as she spoke.

Sure enough, when they arrived, the owner greeted Zhang Lanfang with joy upon seeing her.

Gu Lingling bought a lamb leg, and seeing the beef beside it also looked good, she bought some beef too.

She weighed it and thought it should be enough for several people to eat tonight.

Then she bought some vegetables and condiments for hot pot.

"Wow...isn’t it just for hot pot? You’ve prepared so much?" Mo Hongying blinked and asked.
