1633 To Hell With Love, Your Love Is a Little Unfaithful! (2)
“What do you think? Are you satisfied?” Wang Teng asked with a smile.
“This is amazing. A man who cooks is the most handsome.” She gave him a thumbs up, while being generous with compliments.
“Hahaha, nice!” The hero laughed because of her response. He took the wine bottle and poured a glass for her; then, he poured one for himself.
“Come, let’s celebrate the success of your mission.”
“It was just a small mission. What’s there to celebrate? Your first place in the League of Talents and your appearance on the Star Rankings is much more worthy of celebration.” She raised her glass and lightly clinked it against Wang Teng’s.
“Let’s celebrate both!” he replied.
They smiled and took sips of their wine.
A lovely blush appeared on Lin Chuhan’s delicate face as the rich and aromatic red wine flowed down her throat.
“Have a taste and tell me if it’s good,” said the young earl while pointing at the delicacies.
“They must be good. I was salivating just now.” She eagerly picked up her chopsticks and opened the crab shell, revealing the tender crab meat inside. She gently picked up a piece and popped it in her mouth, savoring the flavor.
“How is it?” Wang Teng asked, looking forward to the answer.
He was confident in his skills, yet he still wished to hear praises from his fiancée.
The young woman closed her eyes and savored the meat for some time. Finally, she said, “This is amazing. Honestly, I admire Force chef masters like you. How can people like you make such delicious food?”
“Haha, have some more if it’s good.” Wang Teng picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of pig trotter for himself.
“No problem.” She nodded fervently, setting elegant manners aside and eating heartily.
They ate and drank to their heart’s content.
Lin Chuhan let out a satisfied burp and said, “Well, that’s it. I would find it hard to eat any other food in the future.”
“I’ll prepare some Force dishes for you so you can store them in your space ring. It’ll be enough for you to eat for a while. I’ll replenish the stock once you finish them,” said the young man with a smile.
“Really?” Her eyes lit up.
“Of course,” said the hero, nodding.
“But that will make me seem utterly useless. Even your cooking skills are better than mine,” Lin Chuhan said dejectedly.
“Don’t worry, the one able to surpass me has yet to be born. No need to feel discouraged,” he reassured.
“You’re boasting again.” She laughed.
The pair sat on the lawn, admiring the night sky and leaning against each other while savoring the rare moment being together.
“I wish we could stay like this forever,” she said in a soft voice.
“We will.”
“I believe you.” Lin Chuhan nodded and turned to smile at him.
…
A silent night.
The next day, Wang Teng woke up bright and early. His gaze turned gentle when he saw Lin Chuhan lying in his arms.
Cough… don’t overthink. They didn’t do anything. They were as pure as a piece of white paper.
A soft sigh escaped from the young woman’s lips as she made an effort to open her eyes. She was startled to see him next to her, blushing upon realizing what had happened.
“You’re awake,” Wang Teng said.
“Yes.”
“Did you rest well?” He smirked.
“Seriously!” She pushed him and ran out of the room.
“Hahaha…” The hero’s laughter resounded.
Lin Chuhan washed up before reappearing. They had breakfast together.
“I’m heading to the Secondary Career Alliance. Do you want to come with me or…” He left the sentence unfinished.
Lin Chuhan wiped her mouth and said, “I’ll go with you.”
He looked into her eyes and teased, “Are you afraid of me being alone with Clara?”
“What are you saying? I just want to explore the place.” She then looked away.
The hero smiled, fascinated by her reaction.
Then, they took a Force flying car and drove to the Secondary Career Alliance.
Clara was already there, waiting for them. Her eyes lit up when she saw them and hurried over.
“Earl Wang!”
“Chuhan!”
She addressed the latter with a sense of intimacy, like long-time close friends.
“You’re here early.” Lin Chuhan gave her a reserved smile, maintaining a subtle distance while seemingly approachable. Such perfect balance left Wang Teng pleasantly surprised.
Is this an innate talent ladies have? he wondered.
“I arrived with ample time in advance since Earl Wang finally agreed to make a pill for me,” said the young manager pitifully.
“Come on, I’m already giving you face by agreeing to make the pill. Don’t act miserable,” the hero said with a smile.
“Yes, yes. I know you’re busy,” Clara replied in a hurry, “It’s my fault for interrupting your time together.”
“No problem. I’m here to watch him make the pill. There was no interruption,” said Lin Chuhan, expressing a broadminded stance.
“Earl Wang!” said another voice. It was Zhuang Caixuan.
The girl was behind Clara; she only greeted Wang Teng just then.
Why is she here? Wang Teng felt a headache coming.
