Chapter 595: Encounter

Seeing Meng Chuyuan busying herself, Lin Youjuan felt embarrassed to stand idle, so she took the initiative to peel the garlic.

"It's almost seven o'clock, why hasn't Aye come back yet?"

Meng Chuyuan heated up the oil in a wok and prepared to cook the first dish. "It should be ready soon. He usually gets home around this time."

If Lu Qingye needs to work overtime, he will tell Meng Chuyuan in advance. If he doesn't tell her, he will go home as usual after work.

"Xiao Meng, I have peeled all the garlic cloves and put them on the table for you." Lin Youjuan put the peeled garlic cloves into a clean glass bowl.

"Okay." Meng Chuyuan poured oil and seasonings into the pot. Bubbles quickly formed on the surface of the oil, popping sporadically under the scalding heat. Meng Chuyuan lifted the lid to block the front of the pot. "Mom, please sit outside for a while. I'm afraid the oil in the pot will splash on you."

Hearing the crackling sound of the oil pan, Lin Youjuan naturally didn't dare to get close. Before leaving the kitchen, she asked Meng Chuyuan to be careful not to get burned.

Around 7:30, Lu Qingye came back.

Lin Youjuan happened to be in the bathroom and did not meet Lu Qingye in the living room.

Lu Qingye walked into the living room and smelled a strong fragrance coming from the kitchen. He couldn't help but move closer and saw Meng Chuyuan cooking inside.

The sliding door of the kitchen was half-open, and Lu Qingye came in quietly, while Meng Chuyuan had his back to the door and didn't notice at all.

Seeing that the rubber band on Meng Chuyuan's head was loose and about to fall off from her hair, Lu Qingye reached out to take out the rubber band, grabbed Meng Chuyuan's hair with his other hand and tied it up again.

Meng Chuyuan felt someone touching her hair, so she slowly turned her head and saw Lu Qingye's eyebrows. She smiled and said, "You're back?"

"Yeah, I just came back." After Lu Qingye tied her hair tightly, he naturally placed his hands on Meng Chuyuan's waist, and his broad chest gently pressed against her back.

Meng Chuyuan lowered his eyes and hit the back of Lu Qingye's hand lightly, signaling him to let go. "What are you doing?"

"Let me hold you for a while." Lu Qingye lowered his head and rested his chin on Meng Chuyuan's shoulder, clinging to her greedily and refusing to let go.

Meng Chuyuan was about to speak when he was interrupted by another voice——

"Xiao Meng, has Lu Qingye come back yet? Ouch! You guys..."

Before Lin Youjuan reached the kitchen, she saw two people hugging each other in the kitchen through the glass door.

She suddenly became incoherent, feeling that she had appeared at the wrong time, and immediately turned her back, "It's Mom who is ignorant...you guys continue..."

If she had known this would happen, she would not have stayed for dinner.

Lu Qingye slowly let go of his hand and asked Meng Chuyuan softly, "Why is Mom here?"

"I was just about to tell you." Unfortunately, before she could even open her mouth, Lin Youjuan saw her. "Mom came in the afternoon and brought me afternoon tea, so I asked her to stay for dinner."

Before Lu Qingye could speak, Meng Chuyuan ordered him to leave: "Go chat with Mom for a while, I'll serve the dishes."

Lin Youjuan was very embarrassed after she witnessed what happened in the kitchen, and she felt very uncomfortable.

It's neither possible to leave nor to stay.

After a while, Lu Qingye came out of the kitchen, calmly came to Lin Youjuan, and poured her a glass of water.

Lin Youjuan was silent for a moment, then said apologetically, "Did Mom disturb you just now?"

Lu Qingye responded softly: "No, don't think too much."
