Chapter 93 Is he a real boss?
Wen Duo went into the bathroom and splashed cold water on her burning cheeks.
The girl in the mirror had watery eyes and her lips were still red from being loved.
Her fingertips unconsciously touched her lips, where Ji Huaishen's scent seemed to still linger.
"Pervert..." she muttered softly.
After calming down, Wen Duo slowly went downstairs.
As soon as I reached the corner of the stairs, I smelled an enticing aroma.
She quickened her pace, but stopped suddenly at the kitchen door.
Ji Huaishen was wearing a neatly ironed white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-defined forearms.
He was wearing a pure white apron and was skillfully stirring the pot with one hand holding the handle.
The spareribs wrapped in sweet and sour sauce drew a perfect arc in the air and fell back into the pot, making a sizzling sound.
This man, who is usually ruthless and decisive in the business world, now has a kind of homely gentleness.
"Wait a little longer, we'll be able to eat soon."
Ji Huaishen covered the spareribs with a lid and kept them steaming, and spoke without turning his head, as if he had eyes on his back.
Wen Duo widened her eyes. She was just making up an excuse, but she didn't expect Ji Huaishen could really cook!
The sweet and sour aroma made her stomach growl, and she couldn't help but move closer to the stove:
"What have you done?"
"Sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried pork with garlic shoots, and steamed rice." Ji Huaishen said as he shook the pan in which he was frying stir-fried pork with garlic shoots.
They are all her favorite foods!
Wen Duo looked at the meat and garlic sprouts thrown in the air, and they smelled delicious just by smell.
Want to eat.
She swallowed.
"Can I eat now?"
"Wait a little longer, the garlic sprouts haven't absorbed the flavor yet."
Ji Huaishen used a spatula to gently stir the vegetables inside to ensure even heating.
Wen Duo pouted unconsciously, and this action caught Ji Huaishen's eye.
He suddenly picked up a piece of meat with a spatula and handed it to Wen Duo:
"Want to eat?"
"eat!"
Wen Duo's eyes lit up, and she turned around to get the chopsticks, but felt it was too troublesome, so she reached out and pinched the piece of meat.
Ji Huaishen watched Wen Duo carefully picking at the meat with her hands like a cat, and his voice softened unconsciously:
"Be careful of the heat."
"I know~"
Wen Duo responded with her mouth, carefully picked up the meat with her fingertips, and couldn't wait to put it into her mouth.
The hot piece of meat made her breathe heavily, and her pink tongue would occasionally stick out to dissipate the heat, but she was reluctant to spit it out.
Ji Huaishen looked at this scene with deep eyes.
Want to kiss.
But if he kisses her now, will his wife feel that he is stealing her flesh and get angry?
So, Ji Huaishen turned around and continued cooking to divert his attention.
Wen Duo waited until the meat in his mouth cooled down before chewing it.
Then, she narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and gave Ji Huaishen a thumbs-up:
"You cook so deliciously! When did you learn to cook?"
Ji Huaishen paused in stir-frying the garlic sprouts and said calmly:
"When I was first recognized as a family."
At that time, he had just been recognized by the Ji family. On the surface, he was a young master with unlimited glory, but in fact, it was just a title.
He has nothing and even has to budget carefully for his meals.
His family wouldn’t let him sit at the table, and eating out was too expensive, so he had to figure things out on his own.
From scrambled eggs to barely edible fried rice, and later working in a restaurant kitchen to learn from the old man, to learning cooking skills to please him...
It's all about survival and pleasing others.
"Wow! You're really amazing then!"
Wen Duo's eyes sparkled, and then she pouted:
"Unlike me, when I'm hungry I have to wait for others to cook. You can cook for yourself and won't go hungry."
Ji Huaishen was stunned, and the spatula stopped in mid-air.
So, he learned cooking not for others, but to keep himself...from starving?
A hard corner somewhere in my heart softened quietly.
Sure enough, the way his young wife spoke was still so...easily touching his heart.
He turned his head and met Wen Duo's admiring gaze, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised:
"Well, you don't need to learn. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
"Cooking is hard work, but if you really want to do it, it's okay~"
Wen Duo smacked her lips, savoring the slice of meat and said.
"Yeah." Ji Huaishen responded with a smile.
Soon, Ji Huaishen brought two dishes to the table and two bowls of steaming rice.
The sweet and sour spare ribs are bright red, the fried pork with garlic shoots is green and attractive, and the whole restaurant is filled with a mouth-watering aroma.
"Dinner is ready." He untied his apron and shouted to Wen Duo who was standing beside him.
Wen Duo, who was reading a novel boredly nearby, immediately jumped to the dining table and sat down like a kitten that smelled fish.
She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs and put it into her mouth. The sweet and sour sauce wrapped around the crispy and tender ribs, and the aroma of meat bloomed on her tongue.
She squinted her eyes happily, her cheeks puffed up like a hamster hoarding food.
"Hmm...Your cooking is really delicious~" she praised vaguely, with a little sauce on the corner of her mouth.
Ji Huaishen sat beside her, watching her wolfing down the food, a gentle smile in his eyes.
He reached out and gently wiped the sauce stains from the corners of her mouth with his thumb:
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Wen Duo subconsciously extended the tip of her pink tongue and licked the place where his fingers touched.
This unconscious action made Ji Huaishen's eyes darken and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
So tempting.
"By the way..."
Wen Duo picked up another piece of pork ribs, and suddenly looked up, staring at him with her big black eyes:
"Do you have stomach problems?"
Ji Huaishen was planning to find an opportunity to kiss Wen Duo, but this sentence interrupted his thoughts.
Ji Huaishen: “?”
"No." He answered somewhat puzzled.
Although I did have stomach discomfort due to irregular diet at work before, that is now a thing of the past.
This is not an incurable disease, so is it worth her asking so seriously?
"Oh~"
Wen Duo bit the tip of her chopsticks, nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:
"Do you often have headaches?"
Ji Huaishen frowned slightly and thought carefully.
If it is because of the contract issue, except for the period when I just took over, I will be worried and have a headache.
Now that my career is stable, I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Moreover, he felt that the headache his young wife was asking about should be a disease or something like that.
So he answered:
"No."
"What about insomnia?"
"Sleep was good."
Wen Duo tilted her head and continued to ask:
"So... claustrophobia? Gynecophobia? Mysophobia? None of that?"
Ji Huaishen was confused by her series of inexplicable questions, but he still answered seriously:
"I'm a bit of a germaphobe."
He does have certain requirements for cleanliness, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to look at, and looking for things would take a lot of time.
As for fear of women.
He is not misogynistic.
He doesn't want to have contact with other women. It's simply because he only wants to touch his wife, the only opposite sex.
There is no more claustrophobia.
"oh......"
Wen Duo bit her lower lip, and her expression suddenly became conflicted.
Ji Huaishen looked at her unpredictable little face and couldn't help asking:
"What's wrong? You're asking all of a sudden."
Wen Duo shook his head, lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of rice, but he was worried in his heart.
What's going on?
Aren’t all the domineering CEOs in novels suffering from stomach problems, insomnia, and mysophobia as standard?
How come the guy in her family is just a germaphobe?
And mysophobia isn’t a disease exclusive to domineering CEOs. Her college roommate washes his hands eight times a day!
She secretly looked up at the man opposite her.
Ji Huaishen's eating posture was elegant and proper. His slender fingers held the chopsticks, and even the movement of picking up the food was as calm and unhurried as if he was signing some important document.
The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-defined forearms. The collar was slightly open, revealing his collarbone...
Wen Duo suddenly felt her face getting hot, so she quickly lowered her head and continued eating.
No, no, he does look domineering, but what about those “occupational diseases”?
Without these, can he still be considered a true boss?
What’s more, this boss can also cook, and it’s home-cooked meals!
Aren’t the domineering CEOs in novels either unable to cook or only able to cook Western food?
"Eat quickly, and remember to pack your luggage after eating."
Ji Huaishen picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl, reminding her.
Wen Duo looked at the ribs in the bowl and lowered her head to eat obediently.
Well, he is indeed a domineering boss.
So domineering!
