Ye Lanchen leaned his body forward towards Chu Wuyou in the next second. Even his flawlessly handsome face began inching toward her.
A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. He had been drinking hence she feared that being too close to the man would result in her getting lightheaded and making a slip of the tongue again.
Just when his lips were about to close in on hers, Chu Wuyou mustered her strength and pushed him away forcefully.
Ye Lanchen, who had his guard down, fell down to the ground.
This caught the woman by surprise and she inhaled sharply. She had not exerted her full strength. Why had he “rolled” to the ground?
Of course, Chu Wuyou would not understand the way a man would think of nothing else when he had his mind set on kissing and doing something else to a woman.
“Chu, Wu, You.” Third Young Master Ye, who had fallen onto the carpet, was not in a hurry to rise to his feet. He glared at the woman intently, his tone reeked of unmistakable intimidation.
Right now, even after being pushed to the ground, Third Young Master Ye was still able to exude the imposing manner of a superior.
She dared not bring herself to meet his eyes. She scanned around the room and her eyes twinkled with brilliance when her gaze landed in the kitchen. “You haven’t had food yet? I’ll make you dinner right away.”
The woman reckoned she should leave the scene immediately or her safety would be at risk.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The man probably would not have the cheek to get even with her once he ate the dinner she made for him!
It was not an entirely terrible idea.
Ye Lanchen only raised his brows instead of stopping her. Did she know how to cook? He was really suspicious of that!
Would she seize this opportunity to poison him?!
Chu Wuyou moved about quickly in the kitchen. Not long later, she served dinner by placing different dishes in front of him.
It was a simple home cooked meal but it sure looked appetizing.
She sanitized the bowl and chopsticks with hot water before placing them in front of the man.
“Husband, dinner is ready. You can start eating after cleaning your hands.” She pushed a hot, damp hand towel towards his direction.
Chu Wuyou paid extra attention to tiny details out of habit since she was accustomed to taking care of her children.
Besides, the woman was trying eagerly to “please” the man so the latter could forgive her. It was natural that she treated him with extra attentiveness and meticulous care.
Ye Lanchen’s eyes twinkled with brilliance. This woman was so thoughtful at this moment.
How nice it would be if she was this gentle and considerate all the time!
He arrived at a sudden realization. This woman turned especially submissive and obedient when she did something wrong because she knew she was at fault.
The man glanced at the dishes in front of him. He tried tasting a small mouthful and an evident surprise quickly washed over his face. It was entirely out of his expectations that she could cook so well. This was definitely not the skills of an amateur.
When did she learn to cook? She was still a child when she returned to live with the Chu family. Her mother loved her dearly thus it was not likely that she would be required to do the cooking. It was impossible that she acquired this skill after going back to living with the Chu family. The only possibility was during those five years she lived abroad in Country M.
However, he guessed that a person living alone would not necessarily train themselves to be such a great cook. Besides, she must have led an “occupied” life during those five years she spent in Country M!
Ye Lanchen raised his eyes to regard the woman.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Wuyou was slightly surprised when the man stopped eating after taking the first bite. “Is it not delicious?”
Were the dishes she prepared not to his liking?
“When did you learn to cook?” A flicker of light caught his eyes when he questioned with a voice filled with curiosity.
