Chapter 732: Caught Peeking
Wen Duoduo took it and said ’thank you’, carefully unwrapping the outer packaging. There was a thin layer of frost on the paper, which turned into cool droplets when touched.Later, when she recalled this scene, all she could remember was the sweet taste of ice cream lingering on her lips, very, very sweet, with a rich mango cream flavor, a hundred times tastier than any ice cream she’d ever had.
Wen Duoduo is actually a very efficient person. She and Lu Jinyan didn’t waste much time in the supermarket, and they bought all the necessary ingredients in just half an hour.
After returning home, she put on an apron and then pulled Lu Jinyan to sit down in front of the sofa.
"Just sit here and read for a while, I can handle everything else myself."
Lu Jinyan furrowed his brows and asked, "Don’t you need my help? I think it might be more effective if two people work together."
The most important thing is that I could sneak in a little touch or two now and then...
Wen Duoduo shook her head, "No need."
He was a true gentleman, unaccustomed to household chores. She would rather have him sit and do nothing than have him come over and help.
That would only make more trouble than help.
Lu Jinyan didn’t insist, nodded, randomly picked a book on music appreciation from the bookshelf, and sat down on the sofa.
Meanwhile, Wen Duoduo acted like the mistress of the apartment and began bustling in the kitchen.
Before setting off, she had already decided what to cook: two servings of pasta, two steaks, one mango shrimp salad, just the right amount.
The pasta and steak were semi-prepared, needing only some homemade sauce and seasoning.
The mango shrimp salad was even simpler - peel the shrimp, peel the mango, toss the salad, wash a few vegetables, and that’s it.
When she was done, she finally felt a bit tired, rubbed her eyes, massaged her shoulders, and turned to observe Lu Jinyan.
She found him still the same, lazily half-lying on the sofa, one hand propping up his head, the other holding a book.
She didn’t know what he was reading, but he seemed extremely focused, quite different from his usual self.
Normally, he was always casual and aloof, but now he looked serious, slightly frowning, like an old-fashioned scholar engrossed in meticulous research.
The light shone from a slanted angle, casting a brilliant glow on his long eyelashes down to his sharp, thin lips.
The buttons on his chest were slightly undone, revealing a nice collarbone, which made him look a bit nonchalant, lazy, and sexy.
It was as if he sensed Wen Duoduo watching him, Lu Jinyan suddenly put the book down and looked at her.
Caught in the act of stealing glances, Wen Duoduo quickly turned her face away, her cheeks and ears blushing uncontrollably.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw he had already stood up and was walking towards her.
Her heart pounded like a drum, thumping wildly.
Oh no, did he catch me staring at him?
Lu Jinyan stood up, hands in his pockets, teasingly said, "How long are you going to take? My stomach seems to be protesting already."
Wen Duoduo, a bit embarrassed, said, "Sorry, I’ll be done soon."
She quickly turned around, pretending to focus on cooking, and put the prepared ingredients into the pot.
About 10 minutes later, a sumptuous lunch was ready.
