The sun rises in the east, stirring up the most emotions.
Lin Muyan leaned on the bar, resting her chin on her hand, leisurely watching the slender figure in the open kitchen.
As she was still lost in thought, the man turned around, placing a perfectly cut piece of steak in front of her lips. The steam rising from it made Xiao Chen's smiling face appear a bit blurry.
"Help me taste it," she heard him say with a light laugh.
Lin Muyan lowered her head and took a small bite. The meat was juicy and delicious. Xiao Chen was still waiting for her praise when Lin Muyan suddenly brought her face close, and the scent of the meat between her lips and teeth immediately rushed into his nostrils.
She kissed Xiao Chen on the corner of his lips, then quickly moved back, creating just the right distance between them. With a slight smile, she asked, "I think it's good, what do you think, darling?"
Her eyes were captivating, with a hint of seduction, as they lightly landed on Xiao Chen's lips, making it unclear whether she was praising the piece of meat just now or the kiss that carried the scent of meat.
Distracted by her teasing, Xiao Chen was a bit dazed. His silicone spatula in his right hand was slipping a bit, "How about another round? I haven't tasted it yet."
He impatiently licked the corner of his lips, the place where Lin Muyan had just kissed.
Lin Muyan coquettishly approached, quickly retreated before Xiao Chen's kiss landed, and then repeated the same move, lightly tapping his nose with her bright purple fingertips. This teasing gesture made Xiao Chen's heart flutter, and he couldn't help but grab her wrist and pull her into his arms, kissing her fiercely, leaving Lin Muyan with nowhere to escape.
On the operating table, the oil in the frying pan sizzled and splattered a few drops onto the countertop, leaving oily stains. The steak in the pan was sizzling and grilling, with a beautiful golden brown color forming on the surface.
Lin Muyan was kissed so intensely that she struggled to breathe, pushing Xiao Chen away a few times before catching her breath. She slowly steadied her breathing, not allowing the person who hadn't had enough of kissing to come in for another intense kiss.
"Let's cook first, otherwise if we end up burning the kitchen, Er Bao will scold me again."
Her gaze passed over Xiao Chen and landed on the countertop. Taking advantage of Xiao Chen's distraction, she quickly slipped out of his embrace.
The embrace that was just filled a moment ago was now replaced by a cool breeze. Xiao Chen looked at her disapprovingly for a while, then obediently returned to the countertop. He used a silicone spatula to flip the steak, venting his frustration like a child by vigorously poking the surface of the steak with his back turned to Lin Muyan.
He thought Lin Muyan didn't see, so he played with it for a while. Lin Muyan tilted her head and looked at him, silently smiling, and her loose shirt slipped off her shoulder, revealing delicate black straps and tender skin. Soon, Xiao Chen brought the tray to the table.
The ambiguous candlelit dinner from last night has disappeared from the dining table, replaced by two trays holding handmade burgers, with simple spice decorations at the bottom, making them look like the most popular high-end style on social media. He took a cup of coffee, but when Lin Muyan reached out to take it, he magically handed her a cup of warm milk. Used to having coffee in the morning, Lin Muyan stared at him, and Xiao Chen earnestly said, "Drinking coffee regularly can cause irregular heartbeats and is not good for your health. You worked so hard last night, I want you to feel better."
Realizing what he was saying, Lin Muyan's face turned red. How could he bring it up without any embarrassment every time! Seeing her blushing, Xiao Chen smiled, then suddenly thought of something. He drew circles on the milky white tablecloth, lowered his head, and looked at her very cutely, asking, "What did you call me when I kissed you just now?"
Lin Muyan The blush on her face had not faded yet, and she was caught off guard by his question. It took her a while to realize what he was asking, and then she deliberately raised the corner of her lips and said, "Darling, we are boyfriend and girlfriend now. I call you darling, don't you like it?"
"I like it!"
As if afraid she might change her mind, Xiao Chen hurriedly replied.
Then he hesitated for a moment, lifted his long eyelashes slightly, and looked at Lin Muyan with his deep black eyes, unabashedly expressing his anticipation, "Since you call me that, would you mind if I call you MuMu?" Since Lin Muyan called him "baby," he also wanted to use an endearing term to let others know that their relationship was special. Lin Muyan hesitated for only a second before gladly accepting this endearing nickname. As a result, during the meal, Xiao Chen would occasionally call out "MuMu," and when Lin Muyan looked over, Xiao Chen would just obediently smile, and then when Lin Muyan looked away, he would call her name again.
Lin Muyan feels like she must have been infected by the other person's silliness, as she doesn't feel annoyed at all, but instead finds him extremely cute. Being filled with the solid feeling of being liked by someone who looks quite likable, who wouldn't feel satisfied? In order to spend more time with Xiao Chen, she even worked overtime for the first time in her life.
Watching Xiao Chen obediently go to the kitchen to wash the dishes after breakfast, Lin Muyan leaned on her head, feeling completely satisfied. She even felt that if the days ahead were always like this, it wouldn't be bad. Xiao Chen dried the water droplets on his fingers, made sure there was no unpleasant smell on him, and then returned to Lin Muyan like a big puppy asking for a hug.
Lin Muyan was pressed back by him, her back against the wall, the slightly cool temperature causing a layer of goosebumps to rise on her back. She took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Xiao Chen's neck, pulling him in a different direction and kissing him deeply. The kiss gradually became uncontrollable, and Lin Muyan's eyes began to look hazy as she let out a soft moan. Suddenly, there was a bang, and her back pressed against something again. A hidden door suddenly opened automatically to the sides, and a faint light illuminated a wall of famous shoes and bags.
Xiao Chen was kissing passionately when suddenly he noticed Lin Muyan frantically pulling at something. He turned his head and was immediately stunned. "MuMu, did you buy all of these?" His gaze fell on the top shelf, where several uniquely colored Hermès bags were placed. He squinted as if trying to recall something.
Lin Muyan closed the secret door with a wry smile, "Well, it's just a little hobby."
"But I remember Hermès isn't cheap, just one costs tens of thousands. Where did you get the money..." Before he could finish, Lin Muyan shot him a glance, "I don't have money. Even if I don't have money, there are ways to deal with it. Why, are you looking down on me?"
"I didn't mean that." Xiao Chen lowered his head and didn't see Lin Muyan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"What did you mean then? Am I not worthy of carrying a good bag just because I'm poor? Or do you think that a working-class person like me can only use cheap goods worth one or two hundred?"
Xiao Chen waved his hand vigorously, "No, that's not what I meant."
Lin Muyan pinched her waist and pretended to be very annoyed, "This is not right, that is not right, what do you really want to say?"
"I..." Xiao Chen pursed his lips, lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
Lin Muyan didn't really want to blame him for anything, it was just that he suddenly stumbled upon her little secret, causing a moment of panic. Now that she has regained her composure, she doesn't want to continue making things difficult for him.
"I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to have so many Hermès items."
Xiao Chen's pitiful response made Lin Muyan even more unable to bear it.
"I really can't afford Hermès. These are just high-end replica items that look very similar. I bought high-end replicas."
"You know I have to go to work, and sometimes I need to meet with clients. There are certain standards for this. Some clients care about our appearance, and I have no choice but to find a high-end replica supplier and buy these to keep up appearances," she said, pretending to be casual as she glanced at the closed wall. "Actually, it's not that bad when you think about it. The high-quality imitation shoes are around five hundred each, and a Hermès bag is just over a thousand. If you don't dwell on whether they're real or fake, it can really lift your spirits at first glance."
Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen felt even more uncomfortable. He felt that his momentary surprise had hurt Lin Muyan's self-esteem, and he secretly became upset with himself.
Lin Muyan I was originally going to say something to prove that I bought fake goods, but seeing his appearance, I sighed. Fortunately, this guy is simple. She secretly rejoiced in her heart, but still looked unhappy on the surface, pretending, "Do you think I'm so vain and embarrassing?"
Xiao Chen paused and quickly shook his head, "I didn't mean it that way, MuMu. You were also helpless. I understand. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable just now."
He spoke so sincerely that Lin Muyan almost blurted out I'm sorry in response. But in the end, she held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, mainly because Xiao Chen was just an Apprentice. If she revealed her true identity, she was afraid of scaring this innocent young man.
She turned away, calming her emotions, and the hem of her shirt was carefully tugged by the other party.
"Don't be angry, okay, MuMu? If you really like it, I can buy it for you."
Confronted with Xiao Chen's sincere gaze, Lin Muyan couldn't pretend anymore. She sighed and touched the man's cheek, "You don't need to waste money on these expensive luxuries for me. Your work is hard, and earning money is not easy. This amount is still within my means. Put your money in more useful places, like saving to buy a house."
His family's MuMu is so pitiful, yet she still comforts herself in reverse. Her forced smile is so heartbreaking, Xiao Chen silently weeps in his heart. He never doubted the truth of Lin Muyan's words, nor did he suspect that Lin Muyan might be deceiving him. Whatever she said, he took it all in without any doubt.
"MuMu, you really make me feel like I've met a very, very good person. You have so much more depth than anyone I've ever met. The way you are, I will like you even more."
He leaned over and rested his head on Lin Muyan's shoulder, trying to comfort Lin Muyan who didn't need comforting, with a hug.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that just now, making you feel bad. I'm sorry."
Lin Muyan is about to suffer internal injuries. She forced out a sound of agreement, biting her lip to keep from laughing. Her baby is too cute, she almost couldn't resist kissing him.
Xiao Chen has no idea about Lin Muyan's thoughts. At this moment, he is secretly feeling ashamed of his past actions.
