Chapter 48: Getting along
Edwiin shot her a deep glance. “What? Do you have any problem with that?”
Suzanne waved her hand and bit her lips, feeling wronged.
What did he mean that she had a problem with it? She didn’t say anything just now, did she? Besides, she couldn’t say that she had a problem with it in front of he. She was timid. She really didn’t dare to do that.
Edwiin paid no more attention to her. He quickly broke apart the cabbage into pieces and threw them into the washing basin. After washing them, he put them aside and then washed the mushroom. He washed the vegetable leaves neatly without any hesitation.
Suzanne didn’t sit in the living room obediently, but stood aside and watched.
She had been living under the same roof as Edwiin for decades. She didn’t know that he was good at cooking. If she hadn’t been tired of eating takeout every day, Suzanne wouldn’t have learned to cook by herself.
Suzanne watched as he put the chicken wing into the boiling hot water, then put it in a glass bowl, and put it aside with various seasonings.
His thin lips, which were slightly compressed, looked sexy and charming. He lowered his head slightly, and his curly eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids. His attitude in doing things was focused and serious. Just his profile alone was fascinating.
Uh, he seemed to be quite handsome.
Suzanne leaned against the door frame and stared at Edwiin. She thought highly of him.
The two of them had known each other for so many years, but Suzanne had never seriously looked at his face. Every time, she would secretly size him up and didn’t dare to take another look. This was the first time she had looked at him for so long.
Suzanne thought to himself, “Edwiin is six years older than me, and I’m 22, so he should be 28 this year, right?”
Although Edwiin’s character was not very good, he was handsome and worth more than 100 billion. Not to mention that he was not considering those things now, even if he considered it after he was 30 years old, there would still be a lot of girls coming up to him.
Yes!
Suzanne bit her finger and smiled sneakily. She felt that the grand banquet the day after tomorrow would be very interesting.
“Why are you laughing so stupidly?” Edwiin asked.
“Ah? Nothing!” Suzanne quickly came back to her senses and secretly stuck out her tongue. She turned around and walked out, using the fully charged iPad to play a brainburn game.
Not long after, the smell of food wafted out from the kitchen and aroused Suzanne’s jealousy. From time to time, she would crane her neck to look in the direction of the kitchen to see Edwiin’s busy back.
About half an hour later, Edwiin walked out of the kitchen with some food.
Suzanne quickly threw away the tablet computer in her hand and trotted to the dining table. She served cabbage soup, mushroom soup for Four Happiness Pills, red wine and chicken wings, and her favorite plate of boiled shrimp.
Just looking at the brightly colored and fragrant dishes, she was a little greedy. She quickly ran to the kitchen and took two pairs of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen. She cleaned the bowls and chopsticks and then went to the dining table to serve the rice.
Edwiin sat opposite her and peeled a boiled shrimp. Then he put the tender and smooth shrimp into a small bowl.
Suzanne pursed her lips. Just as she sat down and was about to pick up some shrimp to peel, she heard the man say lightly, “Isn’t there peeled food in the bowl? How can you hold the chopsticks when your hands are dirty?”
“Uh, can I eat it?” Suzanne blinked her eyes. She thought that Edwiin was peeling her.
Edwiin looked up at her. “Why don’t you take the food and put it there?”
Suzanne replied with an “oh” and felt that what she said made sense. She unceremoniously put her chopsticks into a small bowl, dipped the shrimp into the sauce, and then stuffed it into her mouth.
The prawns had just reached the point of rolling, and the sauce was also in place. It was so delicious!
Suzanne’s favorite dishes were boiled shrimp and roasted goose. From childhood to adulthood, she would never get tired of them no matter how much she ate. Occasionally, when she had time, she would go to the authentic Cantonese restaurant with Nancy to taste these delicacies.
Suzanne secretly glanced at the opposite side.
She did know how to eat, but she didn’t really make it herself. She tried to make boiled shrimp once before, but she didn’t succeed. In addition, the sauce wasn’t too good, so she received Nancy’s disdain and said that she didn’t want to eat the shrimp she made anymore.
When she first saw the prawns in the supermarket seafood area, she suddenly became excited and bought some to try. In fact, she was not sure if she could cook them.
She didn’t expect that Edwiin would do it in the end.
Does he also like Cantonese food?
Suzanne wondered why Edwiin was not picky about food. As long as the taste of the food was not too heavy, he could basically accept Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and even other countries.
“Why are you in a daze while holding the chopsticks?” Edwiin looked at her deeply with her eyes as dark as ink. “Don’t you like it?”
“No.” Suzanne quickly shook her head with an unnatural expression on her face. “Uh, I just didn’t expect Edwiin to know how to cook. Not all bosses can cook.”
She thought the person like him would get used to being served.
However, she didn’t dare to say this to Edwiin. She could only say in her heart.
“Sometimes when I’m too free, I want to find something to do,” Edwiin said lightly. He took a tissue to wipe his hands, and a plate of boiled shrimp was peeled off by him. The two small bowls were full of tender and smooth shrimp meat.
Suzanne smiled.
She saw that Edwiin was very busy at work and often rushed to some country to talk. It would take him more than half a month to come back, let alone have dinner at home.
He actually said that he was too free sometimes?
However, Suzanne could tell that Edwiin was really free this month. The number of times he had gone home this month was comparable to the total number of times he had gone home in the past three months.
Suzanne thought he was the only one who was good at cooking. After tasting the other dishes, she couldn’t help but sigh. This was the gap between people. They both majored in cooking, but Edwiin was much ahead of her.
For the sake of maintaining her figure, she gritted her teeth and ate half a bowl of rice. Although she was extremely envious of those dishes, she didn’t dare to eat too much. She just picked up two more chopsticks to taste and drank two more bowls of mushroom soup.
After dinner, Suzanne took the initiative to clean up the dishes. As soon as the dirty plates were taken into the kitchen, Edwiin followed her and pulled her back a little. “Let me do it.”
“No, no.” Suzanne refused in a hurry. She couldn’t let him wash the dishes after cooking dinner. After all, he was the guest.
Edwiin didn’t say anything and just looked at her.
What Suzanne feared the most was his dark eyes. She didn’t know if it was an omen of anger, but it gave her a bad feeling anyway. She pointed to the bowl and pond with both hands, lowered her head and trotted out.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
It was already past eight o’clock in the evening when Edwiin finished cleaning up the kitchen.
He wiped his hands with a tissue and sat down next to Suzanne. His thin lips were slightly pursed and his aura was steady and reserved. He watched TV with her and had no intention of leaving.
Suzanne was particularly embarrassed, but she was too embarrassed to ask him to leave. After hesitating for a while, she went to the refrigerator and took half a cantaloupe out, cut it into plates, put it on the plate, and brought it to the living room.
“Are you all ready?” asked Edwiin. “About the banquet after that.”
Suzanne glanced up at him from the iPad, then lowered her head to look at the screen. She was playing games and tried her best to find two keys from this scene. “I’ve asked for leave from the company. I’ll be home early in the afternoon.”
For a moment, no one spoke.
Suddenly, that familiar cold aura gathered around her again.
