“So you knew each other long ago!” Chu Yichen looked noncommittal. It was hard to tell if he believed her or not.
“Yes, you can ask him. Don’t you think he looks at me in a way that suggests I’m no stranger to him?”
Although Chu Yichen could not see Lu Ming’s expression clearly from afar, he would realize it in the future, so her lie was not unexpected.
“You’ve never thought of climbing up the social ladder?”
“How could you judge me like that? I’m not that kind of woman.” Li An’an immediately clarified that she and Lu Ming were a thing of the past. Actually, it was nothing much. At most, she was just a spare tire, only wishful thinking on her part.
Chu Yichen narrowed his eyes and sized her up. Li An’an suppressed her nervousness and made eye contact with him openly. However, her heart was beating like a drum, going faster and faster. One had to have a strong enough heart to lie to someone like Chu Yichen.
In the end, she couldn’t stand it anymore and lowered her head. “The dishes are ready, if you wish to eat now. I made my best dishes today to make you happy.”
Li An’an pushed Chu Yichen towards the dining table. She couldn’t let him continue being an air conditioner. She’d cave and give herself away.
At those words, Chu Yichen’s seriousness vanished. His lips curled up and he even looked somewhat happy.
“To make me happy.”
“Of course.” Li An’an cupped her face in her hands. “You’d been angry at work. This isn’t good. It will easily damage your health. Work is important, but your health is more important. I hope this meal can improve your mood.”
Chu Yichen looked at her bright and cunning face and smiled. He reached out for his chopsticks.
Li An’an grinned at him. “Actually, you look very handsome when you smile. Why don’t you smile more often?”
“There aren’t many things that make me happy.”
“Are you happy to eat food cooked by me?” Although she knew that she was a good cook, she was very proud to be acknowledged by someone as difficult as
Chu Yichen.
The man did not answer her directly. He only smiled.
Long Ting entered the house and walked into the living room. He took off his coat and threw it to the butler. It was better to come at the right time than to come early. This was great. He could eat heartily tonight. When he walked to the dining room, he was stunned for a moment. Did the two of them have to be so cosy with each other over a meal? What the hell? Couldn’t they be mindful that he was a single man with a bitter life?
“Li An’an, you’re smiling so lewdly. Are you trying to eat my cousin?” As he teased her, he hurriedly filled a bowl with rice and sat down to eat.
Li An’an finally realized that all this while, she had been grinning and staring at Chu Yichen. She placed one hand on her waist and looked pained. “What are you talking about? I sprained my lower back when I was cooking in the kitchen!
Don’t talk nonsense.”
Long Ting almost spat out the pork ribs in his mouth, but sucked it back in because it was too good to waste. He mumbled, “Would it kill you to admit that you’re interested in my cousin?!” These two people obviously had something going on, but they refused to admit it. They acted as though he couldn’t tell. Li An’an said angrily, “That’s not true. Don’t taint Chairman Chu’s innocence.”
Chu Yichen’s expression turned cold and he slowed down his eating. Li An’an didn’t understand why he was unhappy all of a sudden, but she didn’t care anymore. She had to go pick up the kids.
Long Ting said to Chu Yichen as he watched Li An’an leaving, “She’s quite interesting? What are you thinking? She’s so beautiful and can cook. If you don’t give chase, someone else will beat you to it!”
“I don’t really think much.” The man finished his last mouthful of rice and got to his feet. “I just do!”
This time, Long Ting’s pork ribs almost flew out of his mouth. What was his cousin hinting at? It was so suggestive. However, he liked it. Men liked thinking of ways to possess something..
