Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Mastering Eighteen Martial Arts Skills Even if It ans Selling Oneself
Listening to her earnestly make excuses, those deep black eyes were also filled with anticipation as they looked at her.
Gu Annan’s hand holding the fork paused slightly, and he gazed downward slightly, “Whatever you like.”

After savouring a satisfying late-night snack, Lu Wanwan hadn’t expected that she would end up eating spaghetti personally cooked by Gu Annan.
What complicated her feelings the most was that it actually tasted very good, and she couldn’t find any faults with it.
How could he be good at everything? This made it even harder for her to dislike him!
...
The next morning, when Lu Wanwan ca downstairs, she heard a maid explaining to Auntie Li, “I did clean the kitchen last night…”
She rembered, it must have been because of those two plates, and she felt awkward imdiately.
Last night, Gu Annan had eaten sothing quickly and then went upstairs. After Lu Wanwan had her fill, she felt it inappropriate to leave a ss behind.
His words from yesterday were clearly expecting her to act like a maid. If she didn’t clean up, who knows, he might make a big deal out of it today.
So, Lu Wanwan decided to tidy up. However, not having used a dishwasher before, she tried to wash them in the sink. A slip of the hand, and the plate shattered…
The plates in Gu Annan’s ho were definitely expensive, after breaking one, she didn’t dare touch the second.
She had wanted to dispose of the evidence, but after a thought, she left it to one side.
“Um, Auntie Li, I accidentally broke this plate yesterday.”
Auntie Li was slightly surprised, “Miss Lu cooked last night?”
Both plates had been used, and Auntie Li was certain that it must have been between the two of them.
“Ahem…” Lu Wanwan, thinking of the actual circumstances, felt embarrassed to take credit, “You know I’m all thumbs, Auntie Li, so you can tell I’m no good at cooking. It was your young master who cooked. I was just washing dishes and then broke a plate. It really was an accident…”
Maid: The young master cooked personally?
Auntie Li: The young master cooked personally?!
They had been at the Gu Mansion for so many years and had never seen the young master cook for himself!
“It’s alright, it’s just a plate.” Auntie Li imdiately said with a beaming smile, “But next ti, Miss Lu, please don’t do these things. If there’s no one in the house, just leave it to one side. We will have soone clean it up.”
So her manual dexterity was indeed spurned—it only seed to bring trouble.
Having not done any household chores for over a decade, she hadn’t expected that now, people who ‘sell themselves’ still had to be skilled in so many areas.
“Auntie Li, can I learn to cook with you?” Lu Wanwan thought of the sorry state of her inability to even cook noodles properly yesterday, and resolved to never let it happen again.
“Sure, sure, that’s no problem. Miss Lu, you can learn anyti you’re free.”
Auntie Li was very pleased.
Gu Annan ca downstairs, wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons undone, bathed in the morning sunlight, which made him look even more handso and extraordinary.
Breakfast was eaten in the usual silence, but Lu Wanwan, recalling last night, felt slightly different on the inside.
Without realizing it, she ate very slowly. By the ti Gu Annan had finished eating and stood up, she was still absentmindedly poking at her bacon with a fork.
Suddenly, a card was thrown next to her hand, and her heart jumped, unsure if she was nervous or expectant.
“Take so ti to go to Madison,” his indifferent voice sounded beside her. “Buy sothing for . What you get is up to you, it’s a gift for soone.”
Lu Wanwan’s anticipation from just monts ago plumted, looking at the card, “Why should I go?”
