[POV Bai Chang]
It's the weekend.
Throughout the week, Qiang didn't call neither did Wang Wei. Though Wang Wei took the 'Introductory dical Science' book with him still he did not ring up throughout the week.
Last night, suddenly, Qiang called to inform that they would be spending their weekend with .
I am surprisingly happy about the prospective et.
Today early morning I asked Brother Li Jie to get so fresh groceries, as I thought to make a simple dinner al for all of them.
(Well the kitchen here in this century is too primitive for my taste, I did get a hang of it but I am sticking to simple al course, nothing too fancy.)
I am reading a magazine while the bell rang. Zhang Wei answered the doors.
After a few minutes, a cute, round and chubby bear flashed towards .
I caught this excited bear and looked into his eyes.
Every ti I am surprised to see the innocent eyes full of love and pure joy.
"Good Morning, Munchkin. How was your week? You didn't even ring your mother. At least do so face ti baby, otherwise, Mamma would feel lonely."
"Mamma I wanted to but papa prohibited ."
"Why?"
"Well, he thinks we are a nuisance to you."
"OHH rubbish(I glared at Qiang while he lowered his face in guilt) How can I resist my little Munchkin, you are not a nuisance but your father is one. Next ti you feel like coming here and spend your ti with , just do so while we will leave your father to his office and appointnts. We are best together while he is the third wheel between us."
"I love you, Mamma."
"I love you too, Munchkin."
I turned towards Qiang, only to be greeted with his hands full of groceries.
"What are you up to Mr Qiang?" (A little eye-roll goes a long way.)
"Mrs Hu your husband is here to earn his keep by cooking your food to conquer your heart."
"Mind you, Mr Qiang, my stomach is not cheap."
"I assure you of its quality and quantity, Mrs Hu."
"Ohh really
I will hold you to your words, Mr Qiang, if it is not up to the mark you are most welco to spend the rest of the weekend in the adjoining Villa by yourself."
"Huh"
(I feel good to tease him; it is like ditation to .)
"Common Munchkin let us go do our stuff while we leave your father to his."
"Yes, Mamma."
Both and Wang Wei, we headed towards the gazebo to play around a little.
(I feel like I am reliving my childhood and beca a child myself, a luxury, that I never had in my previous life in Star Ti System.)
After a few hours of playing with Wang Wei, I walked towards the kitchen to get sothing cool to drink. On my way, I see Qiang holding a tray with two glasses of freshly squeezed li juice on it, walking towards us.
I look at him while he looks at .
"Are you the butler here?"
"I am serving the boss of my life to earn so brownie points from her."
"Nice thought process but shortcuts won't get you anywhere with ."
"Yes boss, here have so juice to boost you."
"Are you done cooking?"
"The Lunch would be ready to serve in an hour."
"What are you cooking, it is taking too long," I complained.
"You would know when it is served."
(My curiosity is piqued.)
I took the glasses and offered one to Wang Wei as we lounge on outdoor chairs and enjoy our drinks.
Qiang left us to get back to the kitchen.
I turned towards Wang Wei and asked: "Do your father know how to cook?"
"Yes, he sotis cooked for ."
"Does he cook for everyone?"
"Nah... he only cooked for on my birthday."
"Then why today?"
He just shrugged his shoulders.
(Is this his weapon to lure people? Hmm His arsenal seems diverse.)
"Shouldn't you support your father?"
"Nah.. he can do without I am in Mamma's team."
(Spoken like a true Mamma's boy.)
"Let's go and check out if your father is cooking our lunch himself or supervising it like the boss he is known to be."
We looked at each other with wicked mischief in our eyes.
As we moved towards the kitchen, the savoury sll wafting in the air was making us drool. We walked towards the open kitchen.
There on the Kitchen Isle, I see Qiang draped in a cute pink apron over his shirt, open collar, cuffs folded to his elbow, facing towards us. He is chopping vegetables.
(Boy is it smooth. It is a restaurant chef's calibre smooth.)
From the heat of the stove, there is a light layer of sweat over his skin providing sheen to his body.
(Against all the foods and the flavours in the air he looks yummy; I think I will have him for dinner.)
I guess he felt my invasive stare on him as he looked up towards while continuing to chop.
"What are you looking at?" he asked with a smirk like he knows the answer to his question already.
"I am looking at the food that I would eat."
"Anything you like?"
"My stomach ain't cheap, so looks alone would not cut; it has to pass the taste test."
"Yes boss, at your service. Just fifteen more minutes and the lunch would be served."
Both I and Wang Wei grabbed a spot on the table. I also invited Brother Li Jie and Zhang Wei to the table too.
While in the due ti Qiang finished cooking and started platting the food.
(All that flirting and the aroma in the air and savoury flavours together got very hungry. Trust if not to preserve my ladylike looks you would find drooling.)
