Chapter 10 Don't Be Fooled

After buying groceries and returning home, Yang Cici opened the door. She glanced at the time and saw that it was more than half an hour before Pei Yanchuan got off work.

Very good! Plenty of time!

She tied her hair up, rolled up her sleeves, put on an apron, and looked at the ingredients on the table with her hands on her hips, looking confident.

I must let Pei Yanchuan taste my cooking skills today!

Yang Cici usually eats at the company and rarely uses the kitchen. When she was studying, she only cooked noodles every day, so the dishes she knows how to cook are all simple.

Although she likes to eat, she doesn't like to cook.

Because cooking is troublesome for her, her hands are greasy and she wants to wash them clean.

She took out the tomatoes and corn, washed them, and took them aside to cut and prepare them.

After doing all this, wash your hands.

Beat a few more eggs and mix well.

When you're done, wash your hands.

Take out the ribs and wash them clean, and then she should wash her hands.

After all this, the water bill for a simple dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is going through the roof.

Yang Cici looked at the soup that was being cooked, touched her chin, and looked thoughtful.

I feel like I'm missing something...

But I couldn't remember it right away.

She looked at the lonely scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table and pursed her lips.

"Isn't it a bit too little..."

“Dongdongdong——”

The knock on the door interrupted Yang Cici's thoughts. She raised her head and subconsciously looked at the clock.

Why did Pei Yanchuan leave work early?

She hurried to the door and opened it.

The man outside the door was tall and straight, wearing a dark vest, with a suit casually draped over his arm. He wore half-frame glasses on his nose, and his eyes were gentle and smiling.

He raised his hand, his slender fingertips hooked the cake bag.

"Ci Ci, I bought you a new cake."

Yang Cici's gaze wandered as she silently blocked the doorway, "Pei Yanchuan..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"I have to warn you first. This dinner may not be what you expected."

Pei Yanchuan was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and tucked the hair around her ear, "It's okay, I'm very happy that you invited me."

"Really?" Yang Cici raised her eyes and stared at him.

"Really? I'm so happy that I don't even feel like working today." Pei Yanchuan pretended to be distressed. "I almost got scolded by my boss."

Yang Cici pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then turned sideways and led the person in.

Pei Yanchuan immediately saw the scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table.

Yang Cici quickly pulled him to sit down and said, "I still have soup. Wait a moment, I'll go check it out."

The pressure cooker makes soup very quickly. She put the soup on the stove as soon as she came back, so it should be almost done by now.

Just as she was about to open the pot, Yang Cici suddenly stopped and looked at her with a subtle expression.

She seemed to know what she had forgotten...

——Steamed rice!

She actually forgot to steam the rice!

What should we do?! What are we going to eat? Just soup?

Pei Yanchuan noticed something was wrong, stood up and rolled up his sleeves, "Ci Ci, do you need help?"

The girl turned her back to him and suddenly spoke in a muffled voice:

"... Pei Yanchuan, I don't want to bring you home for dinner anymore."

Pei Yanchuan stopped where he was.

The next second, the girl turned her head, her brown eyes were watery and tearful, as if she was aggrieved and embarrassed.

"What a shame! I forgot to steam the rice."

Pei Yanchuan was stunned at first, then when he realized what was happening, the corners of his mouth twitched and he quickly clenched his fist against his lips.

After a long time, he couldn't help but turned his head away and laughed softly.

“…”

Yang Cici's face looked even more aggrieved. "Pei Yanchuan, you are not allowed to laugh."

"Sorry, baby." Pei Yanchuan walked closer and lowered his head, his eyes gentle but dark, "Can I kiss you now? Just one kiss, okay?"

So cute...

"Is it time to kiss now?" Yang Cici said sullenly, "I'm cooking for you. If I make a mistake, you should understand me. How can you laugh at me?"

"I was wrong"

Pei Yanchuan leaned on the stove behind him, bent down, and gently rubbed his nose against her face affectionately.

He lowered his eyes, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly, "Baby, you start steaming the rice now. The rice will be steamed after we kiss."

How long will this kiss last?

Suddenly thinking of Li Xuanmeng during the day, Yang Cici was stunned and suddenly stood on tiptoe to sniff the scent of the man.

Pei Yanchuan cooperated by raising his chin, and the girl's hot and moist breath sprayed on his neck, like a small animal nuzzling in his arms.

His Adam's apple rolled and his voice was a little hoarse.

"What's wrong? Baby, I didn't wear perfume today."

Yang Cici stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly hugged his neck and whispered:

"Pei Yanchuan, please kiss me gently, I must eat the cake today."

Pei Yanchuan's body froze, but there was a madly dancing flame in his eyes, and the curve of his mouth was almost uncontrollable.

His heart was beating violently. He took off his glasses, then slowly lowered his head, closed his eyes and kissed the tip of the girl's ear with care. His breath was slow and hot, with a lingering and ambiguous feeling.

"Yes,"

He gently held her lower lip, chuckled and said in a hoarse voice:

"Baby, I'll kiss you slowly."

Yang Cici put her arms around his neck and caught a glimpse of the man's suit draped over the back of the chair.

A corner of the cell phone was exposed in the pocket of the black coat.

That was Pei Yanchuan's cell phone.

She took a quick glance.

Then someone bit her lips lightly.

"Baby, why are you distracted?"

Yang Cici touched his tie.

"Pei Yanchuan..."

"Um?"

"I need to wash the rice and steam it."

“…”

Pei Yanchuan burst out laughing instantly.

"I'll do it."

In the end, the two of them finished all the dishes, although most of them went into Pei Yanchuan's stomach.

Yang Cici sat at the table and ate cake.

She bit her fork and glanced at Pei Yanchuan who was looking at his phone next to her.

"Pei Yanchuan, what are you looking at?"

"Work documents."

"Are you busy?"

"No, just a little thing." Pei Yanchuan put down his phone, "What's wrong? Do you want to play a puzzle?"

Yang Cici shook her head and looked at the time.

"It's very late."

Pei Yanchuan clenched his fingertips instantly and was silent for a moment. He smiled and stood up to pick up the suit behind him.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Cici, you should get some rest early too."

Yang Cici stared at him without saying anything.

When the man was about to reach the door, she slowly spoke:

"Pei Yanchuan, I recently came across a scam. Some people seem to pretend their phone isn't working when they're trying to make a payment, then ask someone else to help pay. They then take the opportunity to add friends and then advertise. Have you ever encountered this?"

Pei Yanchuan turned his head and said, "No, Cici, have you met her?"

Yang Cici put down her fork, picked up the cake and walked over.

She picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Pei Yanchuan's mouth.

With his eyes curved, he spoke in a soft voice:

"No, I haven't encountered any."

"I'm just reminding you to be careful not to be deceived."

Pei Yanchuan opened his mouth and bit the cake, and the sweet mango juice instantly bloomed in his mouth.

I have never been interested in sweets, but I am addicted to the sweet scent of girls.

A chuckle escaped his throat, "I won't be fooled."

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Pei Yanchuan suddenly paused.

After a long time, he curled his lips and spoke, his voice soft and gentle, like a dangerous honey net that silently entangled people.

"Ci Ci is the same, don't add outsiders casually."

"Don't believe what outsiders say."
