On hearing his words, she hurriedly got down from the kitchen platform and stood two steps away from him with the support of kitchen platform and looked in the other direction.
Lu Qiang smiled on her reaction and continued his work. Lu Qiang started to prepare noodles. He stirred vegetables in the pan like a professional chef, holding a pan in one hand in air, slightly above from the gas and moving the pan and the spoon in a perfect co-ordination.
After watching this, she couldn't control her reaction and curiously asked, "Have you by mistake become a businessman? You should have become a chef".
"I will! But only for you. Just tell me whenever you want to eat in the middle of the night." He replied while being busy with his culinary skills.
"Whenever I want?" She confirmed.
"Yes!" He replied with a firm tone.
The noodles were almost ready. She went closer to take a look at the noodles in the pan and amazedly said, "Wahhh鈥ou are really multi-talented, President Lu!".
He was stirring noodles just then he leaned closer to her and gave a peck on her lips again.
"What's this?" She was quite surprised. She thought that this time she didn't say anything with a different meaning to make him do that.
"Multi-tasking!" He replied with a smile and focused on his work again.
She was used to it now. Getting kissed by him was not new to her so she didn't overreact. In fact, in her heart she liked it. Somewhere, she found it romantic.
Other than her brother, he was the only person who was doing this for her and he was the only person she wanted to do this for her, but problem was, who would admit this?
He served the noodles in a dish and garnished it beautifully. He passed it to her and said, "Here it is".
She took dish from his hands and asked, "Only one? Aren't you going to eat?
"Nope! I am full." He firmly rejected.
She was almost salivating after smelling its aroma and didn't bother to force him. She excitingly took the dish "I am starving. Let's go to the dining table."
"You wouldn't have starved like this, if you had concentrated on your food more instead of admiring my face, while we were having a dinner." He said.
'Cough鈥?Cough!' She ignored him and kept walking in the direction of kitchen's door. She thought 'Was my brother not enough with his eagle's eyes? Why would one more person added, now?
Both walked out of the kitchen and went towards the dining table. Lu Qiang pulled one chair for her to sit. She put the dish on the dining table and sat on the chair. Lu Qiang also sat on the chair beside her. She picked up a fork and started eating the noodles. It was too tasty that she couldn't stop herself from making a sound from her mouth. He was admiring her face with a pleasant smile. She was eating like a squirrel, stuffing her mouth as much as possible.
"Ummm! It's too鈥?yummy." She took another mouthful bite and looked at him while chewing it. She asked with full mouth "Do you want to taste it?"
"Ok! He nodded."
She took noodles in her fork and held it in front of him as asking him to eat it. He held her hand, moved it aside gently. He then moved closer to her and licked the sauce which was on the corner of her lips.
When he did that, the fork in her hand fell down on the dining table.
He moved back and said while licking his own lips, "It tastes better like this. It's delicious." Then he pick up another fork and gave it to her which she accepted and started eating the noodles quietly with her head lowered down, without making any sound. Every single time he kissed her in a different way, even she couldn't predict when and what this man would do.
She took one tissue paper and wiped her lips to make sure not to leave a sauce on her lips again. He just smiled to look at her doing this. She finished her food and went to the kitchen to keep that dish in the sink.
When she came back he was waiting for her in the living room.
She saw him and felt anxious. She walked towards him and said, "Ummm! I am feeling sleepy so... I'll take my leave".
As she turned toward the direction of the stairs, suddenly, he called her, "YuYan."
She halted and her heart which was already unstable, now had started to beat faster. It was the first time he called her name after meeting so many times during these few days.
'Why my name is sounding so different and so beautiful when he said it?' She just thought and turned around and looked at him questioningly.
He stepped in her direction and stood in front of her two to three steps away. He looked in her eyes and said in a husky voice "I want to kiss you".
Lu Qiang's voice and gaze was so intense that make her shake from inside.
'Cough**Cough!' She didn't reply and thought 'it was less embarrassing, whenever he kissed me suddenly without even warning me'.
He saw that she was in daze and firmly said "But this time, I'll do that only if you are willing to".
She stood frozen at her place. Her mind was in a mess. She thought 'Yes I am willing. No鈥?No I am not鈥?Do I? Tsk! That can't be. But I think I am'.
Her head was busy in the game of 'Yes' or 'No'. Then Lu Qiang called her name again, "YuYan" which made her mind return back to her senses and with her twinkling eyes she looked at him.
"If you don't want then turn around and go to your room." He said and waited for her to turn around.
Few moments passed by but she didn't move and stood there and lowered her eyelashes. Lu Qiang got the answer.
He took one step towards her, she clutched her own dress.
Then, he took second step, her heart was ready to jump out of her chest.
On third step he stood closer to her. She was hesitated and quite embarrassed, but still looked up at his face. Both were looking in each other's eyes.
