"Missy, you're finally back . "
Aunt Zhang's voice suddenly resounded in her ears .
"I'm home late . " Xuxu turned around and took a glance at Aunt Zhang .
Aunt Zhang knitted her eyebrows and looked worried . Out of concern, Xuxu asked, "Aunt Zhang, is anything the matter?"
Before Aunt Zhang could reply, a chilly voice was heard from outside the kitchen . "Wen Xuxu, so you are aware that you had to come home?"
Yan Rusheng's towering figure appeared in the dining room . As Xuxu had anticipated, his expression was gloomy .
"I'll prepare dinner right now . " Xuxu turned on the tap and began washing the vegetables .

Aunt Zhang wanted to extend her a helping hand, but after taking a look at Yan Rusheng, she didn't dare to and looked helpless .
After some hesitations, she spoke cautiously to Yan Rusheng, "Third Young Master, let me help Missy . It's running late so it's better to get dinner ready quickly . "
From the tone of her voice, Xuxu could sense that Yan Rusheng must have instructed her not to help out .
Yan Rusheng was trying all means to torment . Xuxu didn't want to put the elderly in a difficult position, so she turned around to smile at her . "Aunt Zhang, I don't need your help . I should be able to get a few simple dishes done quickly . "
Aunt Zhang kept looking at Yan Rusheng, waiting for him to nod his head .
"Aunt Zhang, you may go," Yan Rusheng instructed Aunt Zhang . He then marched in with his long legs into the dining room . He walked over to Xuxu and saw that she was washing the vegetables . Her pair of soft and supple hands were soaked in the water .
He knitted his eyebrows lightly . "Do you call yourself a woman? Don't you know how to wash vegetables?"

His deep voice suddenly echoed in her ears and his warm breath could be felt . Even though it sounded like a reprimand, Xuxu couldn't help but feel her heart softened at that instant .
She stood up straight . Without waiting for her to respond, Yan Rusheng pulled her to one side all of a sudden . "Let me do it for you . Watch and learn from it . "
He unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled it up before putting his hands into the basin .
He looked immeasurably confident in that manner .
Xuxu was in awe as she looked at the man standing before the basin . She looked at Yan Rusheng taking his time to pull apart the vegetables by the stalk, and washing them gingerly . She stared at him 'till her eyes nearly popped out of her head .
"Why are there only vegetables?" Yan Rusheng finished washing the vegetables and his eyes swept past the stove . As he couldn't find any traces of meat, he turned around and queried Xuxu .
Xuxu knitted her eyebrows . "It's already so late . Just eat a simple dish and make do without meat . "
Yan Rusheng ignored Xuxu . "Go to the fridge and bring out some meat . "
His tone was decisive .
Xuxu didn't want to argue with him over this and answered with an 'Ok' . She turned around and walked to the fridge and was about to take out some meat .
"Wait a while," Yan Rusheng interrupted her actions all of a sudden .
Xuxu turned her head and gave Young Master Yan a puzzled look . "What do you want again?"
"I'll take it out myself . " Having said that, Yan Rusheng walked over to the fridge, took out the meat and walked back to the basin .
Xuxu followed after him and examined him with uncertainty . "Are you… cooking?"
Yan Rusheng raised his eyebrows . "Any problem with that?"
"Um . " Xuxu shook her head . "I have no problem with that . "
He made it seem as though he was an expert in cooking .
She had known him for so many years but had yet to see him wash a bowl .
Just when Yan Rusheng threw the meat into the basin, his cell phone suddenly rang . But both his hands were wet and oily from handling the meat .
He turned and looked at Xuxu . "Take it out and answer the call for me . "
