“Me?” She pointed at her nose in disbelief, looking as though she had seen a ghost . She asked on reflex, “How could it be me? I didn’t know that you can cook, and I’ve never eaten your food before!”
This annoying fellow is being too fake!
He is truly very glib-tongued now! Hmph!
What because of me?! He’s lying for sure!
She got more furious as she thought of all that .
His girlfriend angry look and petulant lips made Ji Ziming smile a little as he looked at her with amusement and helplessness .
“Stop trying to lie to me . Quickly ‘fess up!” She glared at him with her wide and round eyes threateningly .
“I spoke the truth . ” He looked at her . Although he was expressionless, he gave off the feeling that… he had been wronged .
“You’re still lying to me!” She angrily pinched his arm but did it so gently .
He shook his head helplessly when he noted that she was truly a little angry before he said softly to her, “You’ll know if I’m lying to you in a short while . ”
He learned how to cook for her, and other than cooking for her, he had never cooked for another person, let alone another woman .

This stupid woman is actually still suspecting me . She’s truly so stupid .
“What are you thinking of doing?” Pei Ge blinked, not getting what he meant .
“Go out first . Don’t stay in the kitchen . ”
She pouted at his act of chasing her out and then mumbled, “Why aren’t you letting me stay here? I just wanna see if you really know how to cook . ”
At her mumbling, he could only helplessly let her stay near him like a tail as he busied himself with the task .
Chop, chop, chop, chop!
Once more, chopping sounds rang about .
She stood next to him, watching him focus on cooking, and the bit of anger in her dissipate entirely .
As she stood there quietly, she saw how much effort he was putting into cooking for her .
Especially when she saw the items waiting to be cut on the kitchen tabletop, she felt even more touched .
All these were food that she loved .

Cabbage, tenderloin, mutton, black fungus…
Seeing the familiar ingredients and watching the man busy around the kitchen wearing an apron, her eyes slowly filled with tears .
It did not matter anymore why he learned how to cook and for whom did he learn it .
Right now, she was getting overwhelmed by the feeling of love .
Sizzle! The sound of ingredients hitting oil drew her attention back to reality and to him .
She wiped her tears of bliss and revealed a very sweet smile as she came up to him .
“Ziming, let me help you cut the other ingredients—”
Before she even reached him or finished her words, he quickly switched off the stove fire .
“Er…” Seeing his actions, she bewilderedly blinked . These ingredients aren’t cooked yet; why did he turn off the fire?
Just as she was feeling confused, his next words stunned her .
“Don’t come over; properly stay put . Why are you playing around? What if you get splashed with oil?” He looked at her reproachfully, his voice filled with nervousness .

She raised her head and looked at his grim face sillily . In that instant, a warm and blissful feeling filled her heart .
So he cares for me to this extent!
So he doesn’t want me in the kitchen because he’s afraid of me getting splashed with oil or scalded by fire . This realization made her feel shocked yet also happy and proud .
“Ziming, I’m fine . It’s not like I haven’t been in a kitchen before . Don’t make something out of nothing . ” She pouted at him, her eyes filled with bliss and love .
“Also, I’m not that pampered; it’s nothing to be splattered by a little oil . ”
The man still did not relax despite her reassurance . Coldly snorting, he resolutely pointed their respective places and would not let her get too near him .
“You stay there . Don’t come over . ”
He ordered her somberly .
Alas, no matter how cold his expression was, she was not the least bit daunted by it .
This was because she now knew how much the man cared for her!
This was how arrogance got nurtured from being pampered a lot .
“No way! Let me cook with you! It’s faster if we cook together!” She grinned at him .
The man did not waver at this, though . Cocking a brow, he peered at her and calmly refused, “If you don’t want to stay put, go back into the living room . ”
“Tsk!” She could only nudge her lips at his resolute stance and silently stayed in place .
He nodded in satisfaction when she obediently stayed put . He then turned to resume is cooking .
Sizzle… sizzle…
Once more, sounds of food getting cooked echoed about .
She watched a certain CEO cooked just like a professional chef . Although he was just stir-frying the ingredients on the stove, his movements were filled with innate elegance belonging to royalty .
His movements and his expression seemed to belong to the nobility . It made one find it hard to shift their gaze away from him .
Seeing such an attractive side of him, she propped her chin in her palms and started fangirling .
She watched him cook a few dishes with practiced movements when, suddenly, a thought came to her .
Aiya! This is such a rare sight, so I must take a few pictures for memory’s sake!
The moment this thought came about, her eyes immediately lit up .
Hence, she dashed out of the kitchen and went to the living room .
