Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! - Chapter 45: Don’t Even Think About Helping
"When the oven heats up, it’ll infuse the flavors of plum and lemon into the chicken," Ye Fei said. "Chicken is usually the mildest flavored meat."
"Lamb has a strong smell, beef is gamey, and pork has a slight muskiness. Chicken’s flavor isn’t very pronounced, which makes it easy to absorb the taste of the ingredients it’s paired with."
Speaking of cooking, Ye Fei became more talkative: "So, lemon can eliminate a bit of the chicken’s gamey taste, while the chicken can absorb the sweet and sour flavor of the plum. When you bite into the chicken, the juices carry the sweet and sour aroma of the plum, making it very refreshing."
Zhao Gushen started salivating at Ye Fei’s description, as if he could already taste that deliciously sweet and sour flavor.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Zhao Gushen asked.
"No need," Ye Fei quickly replied. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
When she looked up again, she noticed Zhao Gushen had lowered his head even further.
Just a moment ago, she nearly brushed her lips against his chin.
Ye Feixin’s heart jumped.
Her entire body flushed, and she quickly stepped back two steps.
Unexpectedly, her step faltered, and she tripped herself.
As Ye Fei fell backward, Zhao Gushen swiftly extended his long arm and pulled her back.
However, his grip seemed to be "accidentally" too strong.
Before Ye Fei could stabilize herself, she was pulled into his chest.
Her nose and lips pressed tightly against his chest.
Zhao Gushen didn’t find her collision particularly painful.
On the contrary, her soft touch felt like feathers gently caressing his heart.
Making him feel all tingly, as if there were electric currents running through his heart.
Just like the feeling he had at the door earlier.
Zhao Gushen’s hand was about to tighten around her waist when Ye Fei abruptly pushed him away.
Zhao Gushen naturally released her, but his palm lingered with a sense of loss.
Zhao Gushen couldn’t help but think, Ye Fei’s waist is really slim.
Just now, when his arm was around her, he almost couldn’t feel her waist, it was so slender that it seemed ungraspable.
Ye Fei hastily retreated two steps.
"Sorry, I lost my balance earlier." She really didn’t do it on purpose.
She didn’t intend to throw herself into his arms!
Ye Fei imagined that Zhao Gushen probably encountered such situations often.
She didn’t want Zhao Gushen to mistake her for a casual woman.
"It’s okay," Zhao Gushen said gently, with an exceedingly good temper.
Ye Fei couldn’t help but think about when she went to his company to deliver lunch, that female employee said Zhao Gushen had a bad temper.
To her, Zhao Gushen seemed to have a great temper, where’s the bad part?
"It’s really not right to leave you to do everything yourself. Just tell me if there’s anything I can help with."
Zhao Gushen "considerately" changed the topic, relieving Ye Fei from the awkward atmosphere.
"Really, there’s no need, you’re the guest, how can I let you do anything?" Ye Fei quickly said.
The house Ye Fei bought wasn’t small, and the kitchen was naturally spacious too.
There was a long bar in the center of the kitchen, convenient for Ye Fei to use when filming videos.
But despite the space, Zhao Gushen’s presence made the room feel cramped.
It seemed like his presence filled every corner.
Zhao Gushen’s presence was too strong, making her feel uneasy.
"Besides, tonight is to thank you," Ye Fei said with a smile, "Don’t think about helping, just wait for dinner."
Ye Fei was about to seize the opportunity to open the door and usher Zhao Gushen out.
