Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Don ‘t Even Think About Helping

“When the oven heats up, it will also seep the flavor of the plums and lemon into the chicken.” Cindy said, “Chicken is the mildest flavored meat among all.”
“Lamb has a strong smell, beef tastes bloody, and pork has a slightly unpleasant taste. The taste of chicken itself is not so distinct, so it easily absorbs the flavor of the ingredients paired with it.”
As she spoke about cooking, Cindy began to talk more and more: “So, the lemon can remove the slight unpleasant taste of the chicken, and the chicken can absorb the sour and sweet aroma of the plums. When you take a bite of the chicken, you’ll taste the sweet and sour aroma of the plums, which is very refreshing. ”
Adrian Zhekova was enticed by Cindy’s description and felt like he could already taste the delicious sweet and sour flavor.
“Do you need any help?” Adrian asked.
“No, thank you,” Cindy hastily replied.
As she looked up again, she saw Adrian’s head even lower.
Her lips had almost just brushed against his chin.
Cindy’s heart raced.
Feeling flushed, she quickly stepped back two steps.
Unexpectedly, her foot slipped, and she fell down.
When Cindy began to fall, Adrian effortlessly caught her with his long arm.
However, the force he used was “accidentally” a bit too strong.
Before Cindy could stand still, Adrian pulled her directly against his chest.
Her nose and lips were pressed tightly against his chest.
Adrian didn’t feel any pain from her bumping into him.
On the contrary, he felt as if a feather had lightly swept the tip of his heart when her soft touch landed on his chest.
It made him feel tingling all over, as if a current was running through his heart.
Just like the feeling he had at the door earlier.
Adrian’s hand holding her waist was about to tighten, but suddenly it was pushed away by Cindy.
Adrian naturally let her go, only his hand clenched wistfully.
Adrian couldn’t help but think how fine Cindy’s waist was.
While his arm was around her, he could hardly feel her waist, as thin as if it could slip away.
Cindy quickly stepped back two steps.
“I’m sorry, I just lost my balance.” She really didn’t do it on purpose.
No cuddling!
Cindy thought, maybe Adrian had encountered such situations before.
She didn’t want Adrian to mistake her for a casual woman.
“It’s okay,” Adrian said gently, displaying incredibly good temper.
Cindy couldn’t help but recall the female employee at his company who claimed Adrian had a bad temper when she delivered food at lunchtime.
She felt he seemed to have a pretty good temper. There was nothing wrong with it.
“It’s embarrassing for you to do this alone. If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know.”
Adrian “considerately” changed the topic and freed Cindy from the awkward atmosphere.
“Really, it’s alright. You’re a guest, I can’t ask you to help,” Cindy quickly said.
The house Cindy bought was not small, and the kitchen was not small either.
In the center of the kitchen, there was a long bar, which was convenient for Cindy’s regular video shoots.
There was plenty of space, but as soon as Adrian stood there, it felt cramped.
It was as if the whole space was filled with him.
Adrian’s presence was too strong, making her feel uncomfortable.
“Besides, today is all about thanking you,” Cindy said with a smile, “You don’t have to help, just wait for dinner.”
Cindy was about to take the opportunity to open the door and usher Adrian out..
