Besides the aroma of food, the air was filled with a faint, sweet fragrance emanating from Su Xiaonuan—a natural scent that blended with the warmth of everyday life.
The fragrance was magical, making Xiao Moran's heart race.
Breathing becomes heavy...
Su Xiaonuan stared blankly at him, lost in the firelight in his eyes.
"Let me go!"
She could easily push the man away with just a little force.
But she didn't do that; she just asked him to let her go.
He didn't let go of her, but instead held her chin with his other hand.
A warm breath was close by.
"you……"
Before she could finish speaking, his slightly cool lips couldn't help but kiss hers...
In that instant, her heart rate soared to its fastest.
My heart was pounding like a drum.
One sound followed another.
Compared to her, he wasn't much better off; he was feeling lightheaded and his mind was in a daze.
Someone was carrying kitchen garbage out to throw it away when they saw this scene, and the garbage in their hand fell to the ground in surprise.
Hearing the noise, Su Xiaonuan came to her senses and forcefully pushed the man in front of her away.
Xiao Moran was so engrossed in his work that he didn't hear the sound of trash hitting the ground.
With that push from her, he lost his balance and fell backward, landing on the ground.
Why did you push me?
He snapped out of his daze and back to reality.
Just now, he clearly felt her acceptance.
Why the sudden change of expression?
He looked up and met her angry expression.
Xiao Moran was speechless, feeling that this woman could change her mind faster than turning the pages of a book.
Her face kept changing.
Anger turned into panic.
Then the panic turned into disbelief.
Finally, disbelief turned into bewilderment.
Xiao Moran stood up, not daring to provoke her again; he had witnessed a true change of heart.
The person who just came out to throw out the trash was Chen Lan, who had come to help Xiao Moran from his factory. She ran back to the kitchen with a blush and a pounding heart.
Accidentally witnessing her boss and his wife kissing made her, a girl who had never been in a relationship, feel incredibly embarrassed.
There are men and women dating in the factory, but they don't do anything as dramatic as this. At most, they hold hands, and even then, they have to do it in private.
Seeing Chen Lan clutching her chest and blushing, the head chef in the kitchen teased, "Beautiful lady, what's wrong with you? Your face is as red as if you've been drinking. You were fine just a moment ago, and now you're like this? Do you have some kind of crush on our second chef?"
The head chef was a married man, so he could only tease the second chef.
The second chef glanced at Chen Lan secretly, secretly pleased. He had a good impression of Chen Lan. Although she was not a formal employee of the restaurant and was just helping out, she never slacked off and did not pick and choose her work. She would take on the hard and dirty work, which was much better than the other girl who came with her.
"I told you not to joke around with her," the second master chimed in. "Little Chen is so honest, look how scared she is, she doesn't even dare to say a word."
"Haha, so you're starting to show affection now? No wonder she blushed when she came in, turns out you two really have something going on?" The head chef held a spoon in his left hand and a spatula in his right, tapping the spoon and spatula together to make a sound, and chuckled ambiguously.
"That's not what you're saying," Chen Lan said, trying to distance herself from her relationship with the second master. "I saw the boss and his wife kissing in the back..."
Oh dear, Chen Lan was too embarrassed to say the word "mouth," it was just too awkward, and her face turned even redder.
"Understood." The second master nodded, seeing Chen Lan's blushing face.
"The boss can't wait any longer." The head chef's smile became even more ambiguous. "Looks like we can leave work early today. The boss and his wife are like newlyweds after a long separation, and we employees can enjoy some perks too."
Su Ming happened to overhear their conversation at the door and thought to himself that he and his wife should go back to their own home tonight.
Although it's a two-bedroom apartment, the young couple must feel a little embarrassed with these two "third wheels" around.
Su Xiaonuan didn't immediately run into the kitchen through the back door. Instead, she leaned against the wall in the storage room, closing her eyes to relive the scene that had just unfolded...
As she thought about it, her face turned red.
Xiao Moran kissed her, and she didn't seem to mind; in fact, she seemed to want more.
Thinking of this, she gently touched her lips with her finger.
Similarly, Xiao Moran stood there stunned; he had actually kissed Xiao Nuan.
Aside from that one time he lost control while drunk, he and Su Xiaonuan had always kept to themselves and avoided each other.
Xiao Moran thought to himself, "This feels really good."
He also raised his fingers to touch his lips...
The head chef, thinking of the owner and his wife outside, tossed the wok a few times, quickly plated the dish, put the wok aside, wiped his hands on his apron, and tiptoed towards the back door.
Xiao Moran's lovesick expression almost made him chuckle.
The door to the storeroom was open, and he peeked inside again, only to find Su Xiaonuan leaning against the wall with a lovesick look on her face, her eyes even closed. He covered his mouth and tiptoed back to his post.
"Hurry up and cook the dishes, the customers outside are waiting." The second chef rolled his eyes at him. "Honestly, why did you go and peek? What if they find out you're peeking? Don't you feel embarrassed?"
“They’re an old married couple and they’re not embarrassed, so why should I be?” the head chef said softly. “You didn’t see it, the way they looked like they were in love made me blush. Are they really that impatient? Why don’t my wife and I react like that?”
"You, stop saying such inappropriate things." The second chef quickly stopped the head chef from making any more vulgar remarks after Chen Lan returned to the kitchen after serving the dishes. "There are women here, you know that?"
"Hey kid, you're already trying to protect him?" The head chef brandished his spatula at the other man. "If you ask me, this won't work. You should learn from the boss and his wife and do something more practical. Maybe a kiss will seal your love."
Chen Lan's face was still flushed, now as red as an apple. She knew the head chef was teasing her and the second chef. She had come to serve the dishes, but she turned around and ran out.
Other girls didn't want to go into the kitchen; they preferred to be out in the open, serving tea and water to guests, clearing away dishes, sweeping and wiping tables. So Chen Lan took on the job of serving dishes in the kitchen.
She was responsible for serving the dishes, which were then passed to the tables by the waiters outside.
Seeing Chen Lan run out with a flushed face, saying she wanted someone else to go in and serve the dishes, the other two waitresses exchanged glances, nodded, and went into the kitchen together.
He came in and immediately pointed at the two workers, demanding, "Did you bully Chen Lan?"
"No," they both said in unison.
"Of course not," one of them said, scoffing. "Her face was as red as a monkey's bottom. Would she have looked like that if you guys hadn't bullied her?"
“Yes, Chen Lan was doing a good job serving food inside, but now she refuses to come in no matter what. What else could it be but you bullying her?” another person loudly accused them.
