Bo Tingshen looked at her, set down the dish of peas and shrimp, and an unfathomable dark gleam moved around her.
Ye Xian couldn't understand his expression. What did it mean? Was he persuaded, or…
"This dish failed because you kept disturbing me here."
She didn't have time to say a word before she was escorted out of the kitchen.
The kitchen's glass door slammed shut, as if to block some major trouble.
Ye Xian's mouth twitched. Goodness, I didn't even have the heart to criticize your cooking, and you actually shifted the blame onto me. The good and evil between people are fully displayed!
Through the glass door, she saw him incredulously taste the peas he cooked. Feather Jade Eyebrow immediately furrowed, and she burst out laughing.
Now he knew just how horrendous his cooking was, right? It's just a pity for those top-notch ingredients. He wouldn't ruin them all, would he?
It's not like he's one of those rare few who are hopeless with their hands, but even if he wasn't, cooking isn't something you can master overnight. After all, he's the quite proud CEO, unable to accept his own flaws. Hmm, his spirit is worth learning from.
Ye Xian peeled another lollipop and put it in her mouth, leisurely watching the man in the kitchen as he threw away a plate of food and washed the wok to start over.
Not to mention... this man, usually so commanding and imposing at work, had a different flavor altogether in the kitchen.
Serious, focused, with a hint of everyday life aroma about him, making him feel closer, not as unreachable as he seemed on the birthday banquet stage.
Ye Xian watched and watched, unknowingly becoming mesmerized. Coming back to herself, she slapped her cheek. What was she doing?
She took out her phone and began playing games to pass the time.
After a few rounds, the kitchen door was pushed open.
Ye Xian looked up in confusion at his empty hands, "?"
Bo Tingshen picked up a nearby phone, "What do you want to eat? I'll have the restaurant deliver it."
Ye Xian: "…" High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods. After bustling around for two hours, the CEO decided to order takeaway.
She struggled to hold back her laughter, met by a stern look from the man, and promptly recited the name of the dish obediently.
"CEO, aren't you letting the house chef send over the meal?"
Bo Tingshen: "Too far." He didn't want her to go hungry.
"Then can you tolerate restaurant food?"
Bo Tingshen: "It's all the same." Being with you, everything tastes the same.
As a VVIP customer of Jiuxi Eighteen Islands, the restaurant delivered the food prepared by a five-star chef at top speed. Ye Xian, smelling the delicious aroma, felt her cravings stir, "Hurry, I can't take it anymore, I'm starving!"
Bo Tingshen took a bottle of wine and a candlestick from the liquor cabinet.
Ye Xian: "?" Was it necessary to be so ceremonial?
Bo Tingshen turned off the lights, and the large dining room was immediately plunged into darkness. Footsteps crackled toward her, and Ye Xian stood still like a tame kitten.
Then a silver candlestick and a few cylindrical candles were handed to her.
Ye Xian: "Mmm, done." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel-fire.net
"Further in, tighter."
Ye Xian: "It's already at the bottom, is this... okay?"
Bo Tingshen leaned over, his low warm breath fanning her cheek. Then he turned the lighter in his hand and lit the candlestick she was holding.
When the soft yellow wax light filled the room, Ye Xian exhaled softly, relieved that it was finally bright. In the empty darkness, she tended to get nervous.
