The kitchen fill with fragrance from the food on the stove, Zhou Qin Yang hums to the tune stuck in her head as she carefully place the stir fry mushrooms from the wok to the plate on her hand. She instructs the maid standing not far from her " Place this on the dining table."
The maid's eyes brighten at the sight of the dish like a gold of treasure found in the cave, she tries her best to hide it from Zhou Qin Yang " Yes, mistress."
Qin Yang smiles as she could read the maid's expression from her eyes, she pats her shoulder " There is some for everyone"
The maid nods and proceeds to take the dish out the kitchen, Zhou Qin Yang turn back to the soup in the pot and start stir it. The maid nearly drop the plate of delicious food when she saw Lee Jun Ting waiting at the door, he hid his presence well.
Lee Jun Ting place one finger on his lips, indicating to keep quiet about him being there. The maid quickly greet him with a bow and make her way to the dining room. Lee Jun Ting watch his fiancee cooking from behind, made him wonder how can someone like her with a small frame do so many great things.
Lee Jun Ting's lips naturally curl into a smile, seeing Zhou Qin Yang's expression when she taste the soup she is cooking. He thought of taking out for dinner but Butler Chai told him that Zhou Qin Yang is already in the kitchen cooking something up. Lee Jun Ting figure he could get use of her home cook food.
He slowly walk in and made sure no sound was made to announce his existence in the kitchen. Once he reach behind her, he sneakily slid his arms around her waist. Zhou Qin Yang's body tense up, she was flabbergasted and nearly spill the soup in the ladle on her hand. Lee Jun Ting pull her back before the hot soup drips on her feet " Be careful! "
Zhou Qin Yang stare at the drops of soup on the floor for a second, she turn her head and glared at him " You scared me for a second there !"
Lee Jun Ting leans on her shoulder and smile cheekily " Sorry. I will call the maid to clean later"
" What are you doing here ?" Zhou Qin Yang finally asked the question that popped out in her mind as soon as she felt his warmth around her. Lee Jun Ting watch as Zhou Qin Yang put in a pinch of salt into the soup, he takes in her vanilla scent " Something smell good, that's why I am here."
" Of course, I am the one cooking it. And you know what I mean, don't dodge the question." Zhou Qin Yang place the lid on the pot to let the soup boil a little longer. She turn around and now both of them face each other, Lee Jun Ting traces his thumb on her cheek and smirks " I already told you something smell good"
Qin Yang's face turn slightly pink when she finally understand his words, she playfully hit his chest "Stop messing around or you won't get to eat any."
" I will make sure to eat clean every dish" he chuckles and brush her hair behind her ear. Now she know why Butler Chai told her to cook a larger portion. Qin Yang stares into his eyes and scrunch her nose " I promise to leave some for the maids and Uncle Chai "
"They can cook their own food " Lee Jun Ting frowns. Qin Yang rolls her eyes and shakes her head" Then don't eat my food. You can cook yourself as well. "
Qin Yang tries to hold her laughter when Jun Ting pouted and sulk, Lee Jun Ting felt her body shaking as she held her laughter. He decides to do it a little longer so she could laugh out loud, Qin Yang read his actions and is unwilling to give in. Before their game could continue any longer, a knock on the door interrupts their atmosphere.
Butler Chai clears his throat " Master, Mistress, dinner should be eaten while it is still hot." He ignores the glares given to him by Lee Jun Ting, Zhou Qin Yang pushes Lee Jun Ting off from his embrace and quickly serve the soup in the pot.
