The President is Being Shameless Again

Yu Zi watched sneakily as Yan Huaian turned into a kitchen helper in an apron.

He was taller than the kitchen hood, making it inconvenient for him to fry the vegetables.

The strings of the apron rested on his waist, further accentuating the lines around his waist. At the same time, his hips were wide and perky.

Yu Zi felt that she was heading toward unsafe territory, but she could not help but continue staring.

Even if it was just his back, he still looked handsome from head to toe.

He was holding a spatula in his hand, and even knew how to toss the wok.

Since he was using some strength to do this, he had to flex slightly, making it such that even the veins on his hands popped up.

Yu Zi could not help but wonder how it would feel holding his hands.

When she saw that Yan Huaian was concentrating on making dinner, Yu Zi took out her phone and snapped a photo of him through the glass door.

This time, Yu Zi would not post it on her Moments. She would store this in her album and look at it whenever she misses him.

Suddenly, Yan Huain turned around to get something.

Yu Zi was afraid that he would see her, so she decided to run away, but accidentally hit her head on a cabinet while doing so.

She held her head and mumbled “ouch”, almost crying out in pain.

How could she forget that she had this cabinet?

Yu Zi used her hand to hit the cabinet a few times out of anger before her hand quickly got red from the bruising.

“Why am I so unlucky today?”

Yan Huaian opened the door and heard Yu Zi’s grumbling. He hurried over when he saw that she was holding her forehead, only to remove her hand from her forehead and ask, “What happened?”

How could Yu Zi say that she accidentally hit her head while peeking on him? So, she shook her head and simply replied, “I accidentally hit my head.”

Yan Huaian did not hesitate. He held her hand in one hand and used the other to touch her forehead lightly. “Does it hurt?”

Yu Zi shook her head. “It hurt when I hit it on the cabinet, but I’m fine now.”

She was in a bit of a blur.

“Really?” Yan Huaian was still worried, so he held her face in his hands and looked at her carefully.

He may or may not have been doing this intentionally, but his face slowly got closer to Yu Zi’s. When he lowered his head, his lips almost touched her forehead.

When he talked, the faint scent of mint wafted to her nose, as Yu Zi could not help but take in a few more breaths. The faint smell of peppermint smelled really good and refreshing.

Yu Zi felt that if she moved a little closer now, he would kiss her.

Her eyelashes fluttered when she snuck a glance at Yan Huaian. Despite being worried, his face still looked handsome and calm. It was just like… he was thinking about other things?

Yu Zi lowered her head. She felt frustrated. This was not good.

The corner of Yan Huaian’s lips curled up into a smile. He already knew what Yu Zi was thinking, but at the moment, he just felt that she was too adorable. He wondered what she would do if he did not do anything.

Thus, he lowered his head and blew on her forehead a few times. “Is it better now?”

His deep and magnetic voice brushed against her forehead.

Yu Zi shook her head but froze on the spot.

Her head was lowered so she could not tell how close Yan Huaian was to her. Therefore, when she shook her head, his lips brushed against her forehead.

Yu Zi’s eyes grew wide. She lifted her head to look at Yan Huaian.

She could still feel his lips on her forehead. It was as if the scent of peppermint was lingering on her skin.

Yu Zi was so embarrassed that she could not bear to even look at Yan Huaian. She did not do that on purpose!

Even though she thought about it, she would not dare so something so bold. She was open-minded in her heart, but she did not really have the guts to do such a thing. It was hard enough to get close to him, so how could she even dream of seducing him?

She did not expect his lips to touch her forehead when she shook her head. How did it happen?

As a result, she hoped Yan Huaian did not think that she did it on purpose.

She looked at Yan Huaian in embarrassment. However, at that moment, he was pretending to cough with his hand covering his mouth. It looked like he had been taken advantage of but was simply too shy to tell her.

Yu Zi, “…”

“I… I didn’t do it on purpose.” Yu Zi felt so ashamed that she did not even dare to look at him. She wanted to bury her head on the ground.

After saying this, she felt like crying.

She was the one being kissed, and she was the one being taken advantage of, so why was she the one apologizing?

Even though Yan Huaian did not seem like he had been wronged, his handsome face looked flustered that Yu Zi could not help but be strung along.

Eventually, Yan Huaian smiled and said generously, “It’s okay. It was my fault. I was too close to you.”

Yu Zi, “…”

So, what he meant was, he got close because he was being considerate and then got taken advantage of?

Yu Zi did not want to think of it like that, but upon looking at Yan Huaian’s tolerant expression, she could not help but believe that this was the case.

Therefore, she could not feel angry at him.

Who told her to have these kinds of evil intentions toward him in the first place?

After this, Yan Huaian backed away and awkwardly said, “Dinner’s ready. We can eat after I take the dishes out.”

Yu Zi replied right away, “I’ll go wash my hands.”

She turned around and ran away after saying this.

When she was no longer in sight, Yan Huaian let out a chuckle and licked his lips.

Her scent was still lingering on his lips, and he missed the skin that had touched his earlier. It was so soft and smooth.

Yan Huaian sucked his lips into his mouth to taste the sweet scent from before.

After washing her hands and calming down, Yu Zi came out of the toilet.

She saw that Yan Huaian had already taken the hairy crabs out and was now taking out the other dishes.

Yu Zi thought of something, so she went inside the kitchen as Yan Huaian was taking out another dish.

It had been a while since the incident, but she felt uneasy seeing Yan Huaian.

Thus, Yu Zi held the side of the door frame and said timidly, “I just remembered that I have some Huadio. Hairy crabs are cold so it would be perfect to eat with warm Huadiao.”

Yan Huaian chuckled as his brows lifted cheerily. “I didn’t think that you would have so much alcohol at home.”

Yu Zi opened her alcohol cabinet for the Huadiao and replied, “My mom gave this to me. Because I’m always cold, she asked me to drink this with ginger slices and wolfberries during the winter. I’m always too lazy to make it though, which is why I still have so much left.”

Yu Zi took out a small milk pan and poured some Huadiao inside alongside some ginger slices and wolfberries. It was spring, so it would be fine to drink this. Additionally, it would pair perfectly with the hairy crabs.

The alcohol heated up fast. After a short while, the room was filled with the smell of Huadiao, along with hints of spiciness from the ginger. One would feel warm just by smelling it.

Yan Huaian placed the tools for the crabs on the table just as the alcohol finished heating up.

At the same time, Yu Zi poured the alcohol into the cup, excluding the ginger slices and wolfberries.

The two of them clinked their glasses together before taking a sip. The warmth from the alcohol travelled through their bodies, causing Yu Zi to let out a contented sigh. Her eyes were shut and there was a hint of redness on her cheeks. Her alcohol tolerance was genuinely low.

“This feels so good. I need to make more of this during winter,” Yu Zi said.

“I will make this for you. You just need to finish it.” Yan Huaian picked up a crab and put in on Yu Zi’s plate.

Yu Zi could not help but think about the scenario during winter. As she was busy daydreaming, Yan Huaian peeled the steaming hot crab for her and was soon working on the other crabs on her plate.

Yu Zi looked at the red and yellow crab eggs on the plate. They smelled and tasted good. When she recalled that Yan Huaian was the one who had peeled them for her, she felt that they would taste even better.

Yu Zi took a small spoonful of ginger paste with vinegar and poured it into the shell of the crab to mix with the crab eggs. The taste of the garnishing did not overwhelm the taste of the crab but instead made it even tastier. She soon finished eating the crab eggs in the crab shell and had a sip of Huadiao.

Yu Zi closed her eyes in contentment. “Too bad we don’t have this in winter. If we did, it would be so much more satisfying.”

“We have it during winter too. It’s just that they are from other places so it won’t taste as good as it would taste slightly of mud. If we cleaned them well, the taste won’t be as strong and it would still be edible,” Yan Huaian explained.

“Then I shall have it during winter too!” Yu Zi said, her lips shiny from the crab eggs. She was pouting like she being coy with him.

“Alright.” Yan Huaian took out a piece of tissue from the tissue box. He did not pass it to Yu Zi, but instead, dabbed it on Yu Zi’s lips to wipe away the bit of crab eggs left on her lips.

Since Yu Zi was fair-skinned, and she had removed her lipstick before dinner, her original lip colour was showing. Even if it was only a little crab egg, Yan Huaian could still spot it.

To be honest, if possible, he would much rather just lick the crab eggs straight off her lips.
