Chi Enen was dragged all the way back to Zijing Garden.
As soon as they entered the home, Li Beijue tossed the room card aside and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, like a big master, and waved at her, “Come here.”
Resigned, Chi Enen walked over, and after Li Beijue kissed the corner of her mouth, he let go of her, evidently satisfied, and picked up the laptop on the tea table to start work.
In Ryukyu, she had already grown used to his work mode. She no longer blushed or skipped a heartbeat when kissed.
After Li Beijue started working, she took the initiative to change into a set of clothes and tied her hair into a ponytail before entering the kitchen.
198 yuan didn’t buy much, but she had gotten the basics she needed.
She started by processing the fresh shrimp and abalone from the bag, then opened the refrigerator to find some fresh meat and a bottle of red wine.
Fresh shrimp porridge may seem easy, but it’s tough to make. Besides, she had to prepare other dishes beyond the shrimp porridge.
The fresh meat in the refrigerator was already prepared, ready to use. But the supermarket’s fresh abalone and shrimp were all unprocessed. Chi Enen deftly scooped up the abalone that had been passed through hot water and used a small knife to pry out the abalone meat. After removing the inedible parts, she sliced the abalone into thin slices…
Once she started a task, she devoted herself entirely to it, so she didn’t notice the addition of another person in the kitchen.
“What are you making?”
She was washing her hands. Hearing the voice, Chi Enen calmly finished up and started cutting other vegetables while saying, “Fresh shrimp porridge, abalone slices with mushroom aroma, boiled fish, tomato egg soup, and stir-fry pork with cabbages.”
“Li Beijue, don’t you still have work to do? Maybe you should step out for now, I’ll call you when it’s ready.”
She didn’t like someone watching her cook, as it always made her feel uneasy.
However, the man who was taking up space in the kitchen without doing any work flatly rejected her without a second thought, “No.”
Chi Enen helplessly said, “It’s inconvenient for me to cook with you here.”
Li Beijue sneered at her, his words cruelly sharp, “What’s inconvenient about it? You’re not a Michelin chef; are you afraid someone is going to steal your cooking skills or what?”
“…That’s not what I meant…”
Before she could finish speaking, Li Beijue cut her off, imperiously, “This is my place, I can stand wherever I want. Why talk so much? Hurry up and cook, I’m hungry!”
Chi Enen had no choice but to hypnotize herself into believing she was alone in the kitchen.
However, the intense gaze on her back was truly hard to ignore.
Fortunately, her cooking skills were up to par, and she finished the first few dishes quickly, leaving only the tomato egg soup.
Having relaxed, Chi Enen thought she was at home and instinctively turned around, intending to call Baby Chi to serve the dishes. But when she turned, she saw the man’s penetrating gaze. His fair and sharp facial features were highlighted under the light, strong brows arrogantly arched upwards, under the long, slightly curled eyelashes were his dark, profound pupils, exuding an unrestrained arrogance, the whole person radiated an intimidating king-like aura.
“Bae what?” Li Beijue asked her, puzzled.
Chi Enen felt as if her throat was blocked, nervously trying to divert the situation, “Be careful, help me take the dishes over.”
Li Beijue, as if he thought she had lost her mind, repeated her words with a weird tone, “You want me to serve the dishes?”
Had she not woken up yet?
When had he ever had to take the initiative to serve his own meal?
Chi Enen composed herself and nodded, “Yes.. I can’t leave right now, can you please help serve the dishes?”
