Saving Wang

Chapter 44 Having Learned "Something"?

Chen Kexin wasn't just dumb. Regardless how much Lan Xiao sided and doted her, he could not help but admitted that Chen Kexin was really bad in doing household chores.

Right after she was taught on the safety precautions for gas stoves, Chen Kexin had already begun to nod her head impatiently and grumbled about the bad odor. Her reaction did amuse Lan Xiao, yet he could only continue to teach her patiently. Lan Xiao had even started to think that she was lucky to have him as her teacher. If Chen Kexin was handed over to the other teachers under him, those teachers would probably be forced to quit their jobs. Moreover, other than Chen Kexin, he doubted that there was anyone else who needed to be taught on how to use the gas stoves during cooking classes.

"Gosh, I gave up on practicing. This is so annoying. It's just a gas stove, why do we need to spend so much time on it? How do we use it? What are the safety issues? Listening to all these give me a headache. I've been listening to you for so long, and I have yet to touch the pots. This is so annoying!" Chen Kexin grumbled unhappily.

Lan Xiao smiled gently as he gazed at the beautiful woman who pouted her mouth in front of him.

Chen Kexin noticed that Lan Xiao kept quiet. She then walked over to his side and pulled his arm as she said coquettishly, "Xiaoxiao, can't you teach me at a faster pace? You can just skip these simple procedures!"

Lan Xiao shook his head and said patiently, "Kexin, you have never touched these items since young, so it's my responsibility to teach you step-by-step. Say, if I didn't warn you that there will be oil splatter if you poured oil into a wet wok, you would have scalded yourself. Isn't it easier for you to make mistakes when cooking?"

Chen Kexin lowered her head and kept quiet. It was natural for her not to have such knowledge even though it might just be common sense to others.

"All right, just note these down now and I'll teach you how to cook in the afternoon. Is that okay?" Lan Xiao coaxed her leniently.

The disappointed look on Chen Kexin's face was suddenly replaced by a pleased look. She happily hugged Lan Xiao and said excitedly, "Great! Xiaoxiao, I knew you treat me the best."

Lan Xiao was taken aback by her reaction. Her hug and the warmth made him wallowed in happiness as he couldn't pull him out of the nostalgic feeling.

Chen Kexin suddenly became aware of the situation and released her arms instantly. Her face became blushed as she embarrassedly scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.

Lan Xiao frowned slightly. Yes, she was no longer that little girl who would mindlessly hug him. She had a lover. She would not dare to hug him without any reason again.

Chen Kexin lowered her head further as she sensed Lan Xiao's stare. It was impossible for her not to understand how Lan Xiao felt for her; however, everyone would selfishly want a husband who could spoil themselves and a soul mate who would treasure them. Perhaps Chen Kexin couldn't understand why she herself could be so selfish. She had even thought that as long as she had no distracting thoughts for Lan Xiao, the perfect Lan Xiao in her heart would never have ulterior motives with her.

Yet, she didn't know that in this world, love was something that could be filled with all sorts possibilities and impossibilities. What other thing was love incapable of if it could take a person's life away?

After keeping quiet for a while, Lan Xiao suddenly stretched out his arm and gently patted Chen Kexin's black hair. Chen Kexin was shocked by his action and she unconsciously retreated, as if she was trying to avoid his touch.

Lan Xiao's arm awkwardly stopped there. Chen Kexin knew she had done the wrong thing, yet she did not dare to move forward. After a short while, Lan Xiao slowly put down his arm. He maintained the gentle smile on his face and said, "Sure. Let's take a break. It's time for you to return. I supposed your husband is reaching soon?" He naturally mentioned that man.
