Lu Man replied nonchalantly, “Fine.”
Then, she went to prepare breakfast.
Although he claimed that he was not a picky eater, Lu Man still made a few more choices for him.
Firstly, she cooked some porridge with the rice cooker. Then, she started to prepare other food.
The kitchen was not enclosed and hidden. Pei Xiuyuan kept his phone and watched her after she went into the kitchen. He saw how she busied herself for his sake. He was rather pleased with what he was seeing, smiling happily.
When the porridge was cooked, Lu Man was done cooking too and started to serve food. Suddenly, a tall shadow came over her. She was shocked. She murmured in her heart. ‘Why does that man love to make sudden movements?’
“I’ll serve the food.” He stretched out his hands.
“Go and sit down. I’ll do it!”
“Fine, my wife.” As a gentleman and husband, he needed to obey his wife’s order.
How he addressed her as his wife frightened Lu Man. Lu Man nearly dropped the plate in her hands. She did not know why he would accept her as his wife given that they were strangers to each other. He called her his wife so naturally as if they had been husband and wife for many years.
Lu Man was wearing a round neck and sleeveless singlet. Her chest was revealed clearly every time she bent down to serve the food.
Pei Xiuyuan watched the scene in front of him calmly. It seemed like Lu Man was just showing off her beauty in front of him by walking to and fro.
The sight was too attractive. It was so early in the morning. Pei Xiuyuan’s eyes darkened.
There were both Chinese and Western dishes. There were porridge, stir-fried tofu, and vegetables and stir-fried tomatoes with eggs for Chinese-style dishes. On the other hand, there were milk, coffee, sandwich, pasta, fried eggs, bacon, and fruit salad for Western-style dishes. It was indeed a feast. The table was filled with food.
Pei Xiuyuan got up and pulled out the chair for Lu Man when she wanted to take a seat.
“Thank you.” Women always admired men who acted courteously.
“It’s me who should thank you. You’ve prepared a great feast for me.” He leaned toward her and lowered his head. His hot breath was against her white neck.
Lu Man froze uneasily.
Pei Xiuyuan let her go soon. He knew how to act around her. He would not make her uneasy.
“Why don’t you ask your friend to join us?” He switched the topic so that he could eliminate the awkwardness they had felt just now.
“She has returned to her hometown.”
“Oh…”
He dragged his voice and Lu Man found it weird.
“Let’s eat.”
“Fine.”
They had a moment of silence when they had their meal together.
“Didn’t you say that you’re not a picky eater?” Lu Man found that he had left the green peppers on his plate. The green peppers were picked out.
“Green peppers are full of iron. Women should eat more of them so that they will be blessed with a rosy complexion. I especially left them for you.” Pei Xiuyuan then put the green peppers in her bowl.
Lu Man was speechless.
His mischievous behavior changed her impression of him. It made her less nervous as she now knew that he was a picky eater and he was just like everyone else. He was also an ordinary person. He was not so superior that people could not get near him.
She did not understand why he would dislike the green peppers when she was eating them herself. The green peppers were indeed delicious!
“I don’t like to eat green peppers but you love them. We’re well suited to each other. We’re destined to be together.”
Lu Man almost choked on her food after hearing what he said.
Clearly, they had different eating habits and they did not even share any common hobby. How could he say that they were destined to be together?
“Didn’t you say that you have left the green peppers for me?” She was implying that he had lied about them just now. He did not leave the green peppers especially for her. He had left them there because he did not want to eat them.
“That’s right. I realize that you love them. So, I picked them out especially for you.”
“How did you know that I love eating green peppers?” He still did not want to admit it.
“You put a lot of them in your food. It’s clear that you love eating them.” A person who hated green peppers would never put them into the stir-fry tomatoes with eggs!
Lu Man was again speechless.
He was attentive to her!
Pei Xiuyuan finished all the food she had cooked for him.
Lu Man had a great sense of satisfaction.
She got up and started to clean up the dishes.
“Wait a minute.” Pei Xiuyuan got up suddenly and approached her.
His handsome face was just inches away from her. He stared at her attentively. She was so frightened that she did not even dare to inhale too deeply. She forced herself to stay calm. “What’s wrong?”
“You have some cream at the corner of your lips.”
Lu Man breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that something was wrong. She then decided to rub it off with the back of her hand like a tough girl.
But, he pressed her hand down. “Don’t waste food.”
After that, he licked the cream off the corner of her lips.
“It’s so sweet.” He seemed to be enjoying himself very much.
Lu Man froze. “You…”
Her lips were slightly apart and it appeared like she was seducing her. He did not hold himself back.
He pressed his lips onto hers. It was just like how he imagined it would be. It was sweet and soft.
Her lips were sweet from eating all the cream just now.
His kiss became more passionate and he could even taste green peppers in her mouth now. It was the taste he hated the most. But, it soon became a taste he adored. It was very sweet.
He realized now that he had indeed made the right choice in marrying her.
Lu Man recovered her senses. She wanted to push him away, naturally. But, he let go of her before she could push him away.
He seemed to be enjoying himself very much. It looked like he wanted more.
“How could you…” How could he kiss her? Her face was red and she seemed quite reluctant.
“I’m sorry, my wife. I’m quite overwhelmed by my feelings. I couldn’t help it.” He claimed that he was sorry but he did not appear sorry at all.
Lu Man wanted to be angry at him but she had no valid reason to do so. How he had addressed her reminded her that they were husband and wife. They were not strangers. It was normal for a husband to kiss his wife.
She pouted and said nothing. She got up and cleared the dishes.
“Allow me.” Pei Xiuyuan wanted to help her.
“Fine, you do it!” Lu Man was impatient now. She let him do the chores himself. How could he kiss her all of a sudden?
Pei Xiuyuan smiled. It seemed that his wife was not nervous anymore. She was not afraid of him anymore.
He did the dishes while Lu Man sat down on the sofa and drank her fresh orange juice in the living room.
She was rather surprised when she saw how he cleaned up the dishes calmly and patiently. She thought that he was unfamiliar with house chores. Was he not too perfect?
Pei Xiuyuan stopped for a while when he had put all of the dishes into the sink.
Lu Man was eager to know what he was doing.
He started cleaning the dishes again before she could inquire about what he was doing.
Then, she heard a loud crash. A bowl had fallen onto the floor.
Pei Xiuyuan was annoyed. He never thought that a bowl would be that slippery after putting dish-washing liquid on it.
Pei Xiuyuan was the CEO of Pei Enterprise. He was a person so superior that he always stood at the top of a pyramid since birth. He never even entered a kitchen before. Therefore, he had never done any house chores before. Naturally, he was unaware that the dish-washing liquid was slippery. It was his first time seeing one. After much investigation, he knew that the dish-washing liquid was used to wash the dishes.
