Chapter 18: The Temptation of Gourmet Food
"Good." Di Mingjue patted her on the head. It seemed that this girl was indeed very obedient.
To hell with being obedient, I am not your pet!
Gu Qibao wanted to glare at him, but didn’t dare to, looking dejected and pretending to be pitiful, "Well, can I leave now?"
"Here, take this." Di Mingjue handed her a box he was holding to her, glancing at her with a warning look, "You are not to skip breakfast anymore."
The school Gu Qibao attends belongs to his family, and he was at school for a board meeting today, and Fang Hao knew he would somehow end up bringing Gu Qibao breakfast. Actually, he didn’t want to bring breakfast for her. The key point is that the lunch box is so childish and yes, it’s pink!
Gu Qibao stood there foolishly, holding the box, somewhat speechless. Damn, this guy was too arrogant, always doing this - slapping her first and then offering a sweet date?
But she didn’t like it at all!
There were exquisite European pastries in the box, accompanied by cheese and butter, the look of it indicated they were from Fang Hao.
Although Gu Qibao was a foodie, she habitually skipped breakfast. The reason Gu Qibao skipped breakfast was because the breakfast made by Fang Hao tasted particularly good, it even beat top pastry chefs abroad.
Since tasting it a few years ago, Gu Qibao had been picky about any other breakfast. As a veteran foodie, she was obviously very particular.

But she had no reason to go to Di Mingjue’s house just for a meal. This led her to ignore breakfasts and she only had a full breakfast when she visited Di Mingjue’s house.
Qin Qian was once surprised and asked her if she only ate Fang Hao’s breakfast. How could Gu Qibao admit to that? If she admitted, her mother would either ask Auntie Fang to cook for her or go to the Di family for breakfast.
But she also loved to sleep in. Besides, she couldn’t be pretentious and trouble Auntie Fang to cook breakfast for her every day. So she told Qin Qian that it was not polite to refuse breakfast when visiting others.
Over time, no one complained about her habits. Unexpectedly, Di Mingjue brought her breakfast today, and it was Auntie Fang’s.
Gu Qibao scratched her little head, not quite understanding what on earth was going on in this family? Auntie Fang even made breakfast for her?
With the philosophy of not refusing what is given, Gu Qibao sneaked to her seat, opened the bento box, and started enjoying the delicacy. Nodding her head, mmm mmm mmm, that was it!
Being able to eat Auntie Fang’s breakfast at school, Gu Qibao was also moved.
Watching Gu Qibao enjoy her food, Nangong Ran, who was sitting next to her, couldn’t stand it anymore. After holding in for a while, she asked greedily, "Is the Duke the one who cooked you breakfast?"
Gu Qibao turned her food without a word, completely ignoring Nangong Ran who became angry and puffed up her cheeks.
Eating the breakfast made by Fang Hao, Gu Qibao was filled with satisfaction. The wonderful food always brought a lot of positive energy. After giving it a thought, Gu Qibao still made a call to Fang Hao, "Auntie Fang, thank you for making me breakfast."
Fang Hao at the end of the phone line chuckled and asked excitedly, "Did it taste good, Xiaoqi?"
"Yes, it was delicious." Gu Qibao nodded her head earnestly, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Then would it be okay if Auntie Fang made it for you every day?" Fang Hao began to tempt Gu Qibao.
"Oh, that wouldn’t be right, it would be too much trouble for you." Gu Qibao still felt a bit embarrassed. It’s always good to be reserved in front of elders, right?
"What’s the trouble? I’ll make it and have Mingjue deliver it to your school every day."
