Chapter 446 Teasing him
Reluctantly and very determinedly Yu Dong dragged her gaze away from the embodiment of temptation before her and skimmed her eyes on the grocery slip that she was supposed to sign. She thought about Fang Chi and her baby and slowly the flare that was burning in her stomach flared down, this was it … she needed to keep her eyes on what was important and just get it over with, there was no time for her to do something as drooling over a mer like a young girl in heat.Let’s see, the bar needed another set of rice to make rice and strawberry wine and a few barrels since they have to increase the production of the wine for the increased number of customers in the bar and ——
” Hey, Yu Dong?” called her temptation, she didn’t know when or how, he walked towards her but there was no mistaking the low and smoky voice. ” Aren’t you going to greet me now? That’s rude.”
” How can I help you?” she asked trying to look as uninterested in him as possible which wasn’t really that easy when Xiao Hua leaned forward and tilted his head at her. ” Maybe by listening to me? I was talking to you but you weren’t listening to me.”
Yu Dong felt amused by his antics, and she welcomed the new emotion with open arms anything that would be able to distract her from the temptation that was dancing in front of her. Xiao Hua was leaning down which meant that the shirt that he has loosely hung on his shoulder was stretching wide enough for her to see his flat abdomen that despite his thin figure had some muscles. Did he know what he was even trying to do? He must have a very good idea about what he doing or else he wouldn’t have been doing it.
There was no mistaking the ‘I am trying to seduce you’ energy that was wafting off his body.
She raked her eyes up training them so that they will only look at his face, any more distractions and she was going to be entering a very dangerous situation.
Finally looking at him in the eye, she faced him. ” I was thinking about the expenses that would be needed this month and didn’t hear what you were saying. Sorry about that, you were saying?”
” I was asking you what would you recommend for you know cooking for dinner? I am thinking about surprising Xiao Zimo and Brother Hanjing, I want to thank them for looking after me and maybe learning a few things.”
Yu Dong stared at him like he grew another head or something maybe wondering why he put a hold on his seduction trick but she still very kindly answered, ” You can start with the simplest egg drop soup and dumplings, everyone knows how to make it. So you wouldn’t have any trouble.”
Xiao Hua looked at her with confusion written on his face. ” What am I supposed to do with eggs then?”
” Nothing just use some stock, a bit of cornstarch and don’t let it clump, put it aside and bring broth to a boil add all the seasonings that you want and whisk with the cornstarch slurry you made. Once done add the eggs and stir.”
He stared back at her as if she might as well be barking.
” Can… this be simplified?” He asked as if he was thinking of how he was going to make the entire thing, and the way his brows were clumping together, Yu Dong was sure that he was finding it extremely stressful already, She didn’t know what his aim was with this sudden change of topic but she still nodded and said, ” Yes, it can be simplified just go the kitchen and tell Huanyi to make it for you, when he is done, you sneak in back home and serve it as if you have made it.”
” I can do it, are you taking me for an idiot?” He retorted planting his hands on the table.
Actually, he wanted to continue with the seduction plan in his head but then again when he walked into the office and saw Gu Ke Jin who was standing next to the corner of the table, he threw the matter back to his head but since he came to the office he had to make some excuse so he came up with the dumbest thing he could come up with but never did he think that he would be taken as an idiot by Yu Dong who treated him like he couldn’t cook something so simple as egg drop soup or something of the sort!
”I am not,” she raised her hands and a sigh escaped her lips, lips that he very much would have liked to nibble on his neck. ” I just think that you —— no, you are right, you can definitely cook the soup, it was wrong of me to assume, I am sorry about that.
” Humph, exactly.” He snorted and then pulled back but something about his pouting face made Yu Dong have this sudden urge to tease him as she said, ” Listen,” she dropped her voice so that only he could hear her. ” Make sure to have a bucket of water next to you.”
After a brief hesitation, he looked at her with a smile that wasn’t a smile. ” I will make you pay for that.” She didn’t miss the challenge in his eyes as he turned around and marched out of the room giving her a very uninterrupted view of his slender back. Damn it. She had to keep her hands to herself and Xiao Hua was making it none too easy for her at all ——- this was going to be a challenge and one she was afraid she was going to fail if he continued like this.
” Miss Yu, is something the matter?” asked Gu Ke Jin as she looked at Xiao Hua who was marching out while huffing. ” You usually aren’t that rude to anyone.”
Yu Dong who nearly imagined her lips on Xiao Hua’s flesh… his lips parting in surprise and whimpers, smiled as she said, ” I was just feeling a bit childish.”
