Lin Nuan looked towards the direction of the spacious kitchen and saw Fu Huai’an biting on a cigarette, his slender, bony fingers preparing the ingredients.

She put down her bag since she had no way to leave. She hesitated for a while, but Lin Nuan felt uneasy just sitting there and waiting for him to prepare the food, so she decided to help.

Just as she was going to take off her sweater, she thought about it for a second and kept it on. She rolled up her sleeves and walked toward the kitchen, asking, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Fu Huai’an glanced at her with his unfathomable eyes. “Can you cook the rice?”

Lin Nuan nodded.

The kitchen was especially silent. She rolled up her sleeves to rinse the rice and put it inside the new electric cooker.

The kitchen was well equipped with new supplies.

Lin Nuan guessed Fu Huai’an barely cooked there.

Just as she wiped her fingers clean with a tissue in the kitchen, she heard his phone ring on the countertop.

“Let me handle it. You can go answer the phone…”

Lin Nuan reached out to take over the knife Fu Huai’an was holding.

Fu Huai’an looked down and saw Lin Nuan suddenly appear like a dutiful wife and mother. He grinned gently and wiped his hands with a tissue as he answered the phone on the balcony.

Lin Nuan looked at the ingredients and tried to guess what he was going to prepare. She sliced all the vegetables according to her habits.

When she looked up again, she saw him standing near the swimming pool on the balcony. He was still on the phone with a cigarette in his hand.

She glanced at the clock on the wall.

If she wanted to try Fu Huai’an’s personal cuisines, she might have to wait until eleven or twelve o’ clock!

At the thought of that, Lin Nuan removed her sweater and began to prepare dinner.

After he returned from his call, she had already brought her freshly cooked hot dishes to the table. She smoothly organized the countertop as she waited for him.

In the kitchen, Lin Nuan rolled up her shirt sleeves and kept one hand on the countertop as she wiped the sink with a cloth. Under the warm lighting, her pretty features looked like a picture which was accentuated by the light. Her skin looked like an egg just peeled of its shell.

Fu Huai’an felt his irritated mood gradually calm down as he looked at her. She had a peaceful and comforting quality to her.

Lin Nuan already had a tall, slender figure. In the denim skirt, her fair legs looked even longer and straighter than usual.

Fu Huai’an kept his hands in his pockets. His gaze couldn’t help but fall on her attractive legs through his half-open eyes. He clenched his teeth on his cigarette.

Her long hair slid down near her ear. Before she could tuck it behind her ear, she sensed the body heat from behind her. As she turned around, his long slender finger curled her loose strand of hair and gently tucked it behind his ear. The man’s fingertips lingered around her ear.

Lin Nuan turned back to avoid him and held the cloth tight in her hands. She said, “I’m done with the food. Although it doesn’t look that nice, the taste should be decent.”

“A devoted wife and mother…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She heard him say in his deep magnetic voice.

Was Fu Huai’an complimenting her?

Noticing Lin Nuan’s flushed ears, he removed the cigarette from his mouth and put his hands on her waist as he gently laughed. “What are you hiding for? Look into my eyes when you talk.”

Lin Nuan kept her hands on the countertop behind her. She forced herself to stare into his eyes calmly. As a result, her heart beat even faster.

They were too close together—their breathing intertwined. It suddenly felt too intimate for her, which made her blush even further. The manly scent from Fu Huai’an, in particular, invaded her space and intoxicated her, leaving her dizzy. She unconsciously tried to back up with one hand placed on his chest. “You… don’t get too close to me.”
