Chapter 526: Creating a Warm Mess(4)_1
As Lin Yuan was busy wrapping the shaomai, she was startled by a sudden embrace from behind, but when she recognized the familiar scent of Xia Zheng, she couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed.
Looking up, she saw all the chefs pretending to be engrossed in their work, as if the two of them were invisible. Flushed with embarrassment, she elbowed the person behind her, "Hey, get off! Can’t you see I’m busy?"
Xia Zheng, enjoying the hug, didn’t intend to let go and hummed affirmatively with a playful tone.
Lin Yuan touched her forehead in exasperation. Was this clingy guy really the same one who had caused trouble at her mooncake stall?
"Your mother and the others are waiting for us to have dinner, I need to hurry up. You should sit aside for a while." Fearing that Xia Zheng might throw a childlike tantrum, Lin Yuan offered a bitter smile and tried to negotiate gently, "Is that okay?"
Since they were not yet married and considering Lin Yuan’s reputation, Xia Zheng couldn’t go too far. He stepped away, but still couldn’t help staring at her intently, "Fine, I’ll do anything you say."
Lin Yuan pressed her lips together in a smile and continued with her work.
Xia Zheng watched her, following her around the kitchen. Although they weren’t holding each other, their actions betrayed no difference from when they were. Wherever Lin Yuan went, to the stove or back to chop vegetables, he followed.
The chefs all kept their heads down, busily working on their tasks, not daring to look their way. However, one chef managed to cut his finger while chopping carrots and, sweating from the pain, didn’t dare make a sound.
Unable to sit still inside the house, Lao Fan was restless, pacing back and forth as he waited for the meal to be served.
