Chapter 155 - It's finally progressing now.
"Chopping the veggies! I think that will be easy. I will take them to the dining table and do" she said with a smile, thinking that she would escape just like that. Giving a challenging smile to him, she thought she had won the game. But when she saw his smirk deepening at the scene, she was baffled.
Puffing her cheeks more round, she gave an internal 'hmph' to him and then turned to look at her daughter. "Sweetie, come with me. We will work at the dining table. Come …" she said, extending her hands for her daughter to hold.
Little Li Wei looked at her mother and shook her head, disapproving her idea. "No Mama, we can't go out of this kitchen yet. We need to help Daddy Angel first and also keep him entertained here. If he will be alone here, then he might get bored. Remember, you always asked me to accompany you in the kitchen with my book, so that you don't get bored alone"
The reasons presented by the little sweetheart were plain and simple but it had the power to make people bent to her thoughts. Not even her mother could refute her reasons. Her daughter was really too small to have such a strong effect on the people around.
"And above all Mama, I am Daddy Angel's Supervisor today and you are his assistant. So we should remain here and help" Li Wei added, getting one more reason up from her findings. "Right Daddy Angel?" she asked for a confirmation for which the man did not hesitate to give.
Nodding his head, he said with a straight face, void of any slyness "Of course! This time you got the words right".
Hearing everything out so clearly, Li Xue had no more reasons left to give. She wanted to scream out her failure and disappointment but looking at the adorable pairing in front of her eyes, she had no more mood for it.
"Fine, I will chop the veggies here. Tell me what all I have to chop?" She said, directing slight displeasure towards the man but that pretense of discontentment was coming out wrong since the sight of the happiness in front of her eyes was enough to pleasure her heart.
"Over there. Help me chop those onions, carrots, broccoli and mushrooms" he said pausing to gesture towards her towards the side of the counter on which several vegetables were kept and then turning back to his little WeiWei, he continued "Here, this is the recipe book for your reference, little. You can study it to check if the steps I will follow later will be right or not"
Complying with his words, Li Xue moved to the counter, picking up a knife to chop. But only on her first slit over the vegetables, the man stopped her movements. "Stop! Don't do it like that".
At his words the woman instantly halted her movements, turning her eyes to look at him. At first, she thought it to be some other trick of his but when she saw the seriousness in his eyes she was dumbfounded. "Sorry, did I do it in the wrong way?" she asked, a little confused.
"I am peculiar about chopping shapes and sizes. And the way you are doing it will not help" he said with a straight face and offered, "Let me show you".
His words were serious and firm, no mix of any tricks in it. The more she looked at him the more she felt the resoluteness in it. But then what does it mean when he says that he will show her.
Feng Shufen was not in any deep thoughts like the woman. What he said was what he meant in the actual sense. Taking his steps closed to Li Xue, he made her turn to the counter, keeping her back at his front.
His movements were soft and swift, Li Xue was too engrossed in reading him that she failed to notice everything else going around her. Following his lead, she turned to face the counter, keeping her back leaned slightly at his front.
Tracing her left arm slightly, the man reached out her fingers to make her hold the carrot properly on the chopping board, then doing the same thing with his right hand he made her positioned the knife in the right way.
Sliding the sharpness of the knife smoothly over the vegetables, he taught her to do his favoured ways with it. The pieces got chopped one after the other, keeping Li Xue all hypnotized into her trance until she heard the man's words once again.
"It's like this. Did you get it now?"
When his cool breath hit her along with his words, Li Xue was brought back from her trance only to spoil her eyes with his charms up this close. Several observations were made by her on his clear, fair face and flawless skin without giving her any notice.
"So flawless and enchanting!" words left her lips even before she could realize, making her cheeks go red in embarrassment. Her voice was clear and loud enough for him to hear the compliment. His lips curled slightly to appreciate her words but Li Xue interjected his initiation.
"I was talking about these veggies. They came out so flawlessly and also looked so fresh. Hehe … thanks for teaching me this". She ruined her own words, or one can say her candid romantic moment.
Seeing her like this Feng Shufen sighed and shook his head internally. The only woman he got in his life was an impossible one! Impossibly dense!
When Li Xue thought that it was a good time, she lightly pushed the man away from her and shifted to aside. "Haha … I think I have understood your style President Fen … I mean Shufen. I can do the rest on my own. I am really a quick learner" She said with a sheepish awkward smile on her lips.
"Sure! I have no doubt about that. Take the charge here then, I will work on other things" he said and then turned to get back near the stove. His eyes gazed once again to look at the woman, a smile of happiness getting on his lips. 'It's finally progressing now!'
