Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife
chapter-435

“Missy, you’re finally back.”

Aunt Zhang’s voice suddenly resounded in her ears.

“I’m home late.” Xuxu turned around and took a glance at Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang knitted her eyebrows and looked worried. Out of concern, Xuxu asked, “Aunt Zhang, is anything the matter?”

Before Aunt Zhang could reply, a chilly voice was heard from outside the kitchen. “Wen Xuxu, so you are aware that you had to come home?”

Yan Rusheng’s towering figure appeared in the dining room. As Xuxu had anticipated, his expression was gloomy.

“I’ll prepare dinner right now.” Xuxu turned on the tap and began washing the vegetables.

Aunt Zhang wanted to extend her a helping hand, but after taking a look at Yan Rusheng, she didn’t dare to and looked helpless.

After some hesitations, she spoke cautiously to Yan Rusheng, “Third Young Master, let me help Missy. It’s running late so it’s better to get dinner ready quickly.”

From the tone of her voice, Xuxu could sense that Yan Rusheng must have instructed her not to help out.

Yan Rusheng was trying all means to torment. Xuxu didn’t want to put the elderly in a difficult position, so she turned around to smile at her. “Aunt Zhang, I don’t need your help. I should be able to get a few simple dishes done quickly.”

Aunt Zhang kept looking at Yan Rusheng, waiting for him to nod his head.

“Aunt Zhang, you may go,” Yan Rusheng instructed Aunt Zhang. He then marched in with his long legs into the dining room. He walked over to Xuxu and saw that she was washing the vegetables. Her pair of soft and supple hands were soaked in the water.

He knitted his eyebrows lightly. “Do you call yourself a woman? Don’t you know how to wash vegetables?”

His deep voice suddenly echoed in her ears and his warm breath could be felt. Even though it sounded like a reprimand, Xuxu couldn’t help but feel her heart softened at that instant.

She stood up straight. Without waiting for her to respond, Yan Rusheng pulled her to one side all of a sudden. “Let me do it for you. Watch and learn from it.”

He unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled it up before putting his hands into the basin.

He looked immeasurably confident in that manner.

Xuxu was in awe as she looked at the man standing before the basin. She looked at Yan Rusheng taking his time to pull apart the vegetables by the stalk, and washing them gingerly. She stared at him ’till her eyes nearly popped out of her head.

“Why are there only vegetables?” Yan Rusheng finished washing the vegetables and his eyes swept past the stove. As he couldn’t find any traces of meat, he turned around and queried Xuxu.

Xuxu knitted her eyebrows. “It’s already so late. Just eat a simple dish and make do without meat.”

Yan Rusheng ignored Xuxu. “Go to the fridge and bring out some meat.”

His tone was decisive.

Xuxu didn’t want to argue with him over this and answered with an ‘ Ok’ . She turned around and walked to the fridge and was about to take out some meat.

“Wait a while,” Yan Rusheng interrupted her actions all of a sudden.

Xuxu turned her head and gave Young Master Yan a puzzled look. “What do you want again?”

“I’ll take it out myself.” Having said that, Yan Rusheng walked over to the fridge, took out the meat and walked back to the basin.

Xuxu followed after him and examined him with uncertainty. “Are you… cooking?”

Yan Rusheng raised his eyebrows. “Any problem with that?”

“Um.” Xuxu shook her head. “I have no problem with that.”

He made it seem as though he was an expert in cooking.

She had known him for so many years but had yet to see him wash a bowl.

Just when Yan Rusheng threw the meat into the basin, his cell phone suddenly rang. But both his hands were wet and oily from handling the meat.

He turned and looked at Xuxu. “Take it out and answer the call for me.”
