Chapter 153 Life is hard
After coming back from work late, last night. Liam woke up famished. The smell of eggs and coffee wafted through the air making his stomach rumbled.
Liam frowned in confusion. He couldn't cook and there was no maid in his house to cook for him this morning so who was cooking right now?
Maybe it was his mom since she is the only one who has an extra key to his apartment.
Groaning, he got down from the bed and brushed his teeth. After he was done freshening up, he threw on a tank top and sweat pants before making his way downstairs.
Liam stopped at the doorway when he realized the person who was cooking was Ying Sheng.
Ying Sheng was standing at the stove flipping eggs. Her red hair was tied in a messy bun and she was wearing an oversized T-shirt which reach mid-thighs and shorts underneath showing her beautiful long legs.
An image of Ying Sheng wrapping her legs around his torso as they lock their lips in a heated kiss flashed through Liam's eyes.
Suddenly his cock twitch and Liam shook his head to get the image out. Clearly, he was hungry and not thinking properly.
Anytime he sees Ying Sheng his mind gets dirtier. It's like she is his kryptonite weakening his pure mind.
"Hey" Ying Sheng greeted softly with a small smile as she turned to look at him.
"Bacon, eggs and toast. Is it okay for you?" Ying Sheng inquired.
Flustered, Liam scratched his nose and nodded.
"That would be great, thank you."
Ying Sheng nodded and went back to the egg banter she was making.
"Sit down, the food would be ready in a few minutes."
Liam sat down at the counter and stared at her silently as she poured the egg banter in the fry pan.
His lips curved into a soft smile when he saw how happy she looked. It seems she was now much better.
"Food is readddyyyyy…." Ying Sheng said excitedly a few minutes later, as she placed plates containing eggs and bacon on the counter.
As if on cue, Liam's stomach growled at the sight of the food and he could feel the blush as it spreads across his face.
Ying Sheng chuckled causing him to blush even more.
"Seems someone is hungry." Ying Sheng commented as she poured both of them a cup of coffee.
Liam smiled embarrassingly without saying anything. He took a experimental sip of the coffee and he widened his eyes. It was surprisingly good.
"Are you busy at work? You didn't come home early last night.". Ying Sheng asked as she filled his plate with bacon, toast and eggs before serving herself.
Warm current flowed through Liam. The scenario was like they were married couples. And his wife was asking him how is work while serving him breakfast.
He did his best to keep a steady hand on his cup of coffee before he spills it all over him in excitement.
Liam broke into a soft smile and nodded.
"Hmm, I was working on a project but I have finally finalized everything yesterday."
Liam said as he popped some bacons in his mouth. He moaned in delight.
"I didn't know you can cook. This is really good!"
Ying Sheng broke into a crooked grin, "Glad you like it."
Liam grinned and took a sip of his coffee."Where did you learn how to cook?" Liam asked, watching her over the rim of his coffee cup.
"The nanny who raised me. She thought me how to cook. She said one day if she is not there, she hopes I can take care of myself."
Ying Sheng answered truthfully as sadness flickered in her eyes. Unfortunately, the nanny died before she came back from the states.
"Oh? She must be proud of you then. Because this is really good." Liam commented.
Ying Sheng let out a chuckle as she remembered their times together.
"How can you be so sure?"
Ying Sheng asked and rolled her eyes. "This is hardly a feast. Wait until I prepare you real food or taste my special baking recipes."
Ying Sheng said boastfully as she absently stirred the surface of her coffee with the tip of her forefinger before sucking it into her mouth with a small wet pop.
Liam arched a perfect eyebrow at her, his eyes twinkling.
"I can't wait to taste more of your cooking then."
Ying Sheng licked her lips and nodded.
Liam gaze fell on her lips and a flush crept on his neck.
Ying Sheng let out a chuckle.
"Why are you blushing? Don't tell me you're having dirty fantasies this early morning, Cutie."
Ying Sheng teased him making Liam blush even more.
Ying Sheng shook her head and sighed heavily.
They are ate in silence and a few times that Ying Sheng would catch Liam glancing at her, he would turn bright red and looked away.
Ying Sheng smirked in return. If she didn't know that Liam already liked a girl she would have thought that he liked her.
But remembering how bad he looked after seeing that woman in another man's arms Ying Sheng knew that Liam might really like the woman.
'Lucky bitch.' Ying Sheng thought. Liam was the most caring man she has ever met. Ying Sheng couldn't help but feel a little jealous of that woman.
She has found a nice man like Liam who cearly loves her. Unlike her, Ying Sheng whose crush doesn't even care about her.
Thinking about Han Xi, Ying Sheng's mood couldn't help but dampened.
After their last episode he had called her everyday to check up on her but suddenly he stopped. Maybe he got busy again with that girlfriend of his.
Life is really hard. Those you want don't even want you.
Ying Sheng bit her lips as she pouted. As if sensing her mood, Liam looked up at her.
"Are you okay?" He asked softly pulling Ying Sheng out of her thoughts.
