I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 309 - 309 Feeling of Intimacy

309 Feeling of Intimacy

The nanny quickly dismissed this thought.

Everyone knew that Divine Doctor Jing was old. Back then, Divine Doctor Jing had rejected many consultations with the excuse of inconvenience in traveling. Therefore, how could Shen Ruojing be Divine Doctor Jing?

The nanny then shook her head, feeling that she had thought too much into things.

–

Shen Ruojing only realized that it was already 8 p.m. after she hung up the call.

Back then at 6 p.m., when the Chu Family members called her for dinner, she didn’t go down as she was busy. So, she wondered if there was still any food left.

Shen Ruojing then stood up and stretched her body.

After that, she rubbed her stomach and looked ahead in a daze.

Would it be bad if she were to go to the kitchen downstairs to look for her own food?

This was the Chu Manor, not the Shen Manor…

This was the first time that Shen Ruojing felt inconvenienced from staying at someone else’s house. But at this moment, someone knocked lightly on the door. Chu Yu’s voice rang out. “Mommy, are you done with doing your stuff?”

“I am.”

Shen Ruojing replied calmly. She thought that Chu Yu would push open the door and enter, but she didn’t expect him to shout in delight. “Mommy’s done with her stuff!”

A few sets of tiny footsteps rang out from outside.

Shen Ruojing opened the door but didn’t see anyone outside. However, there were noisy sounds coming from the kitchen downstairs. She then headed down and went to the kitchen to see a tall figure in a black shirt, black formal trousers, and a baby blue apron. He was… making noodles?

The pot was piping hot and he added in green noodles. Next to him was a row of crabs, and the four children were holding tools and peeling the crabs.

The crab roe, crab meat, and crab legs were being separated from the shells and placed neatly into three small bowls.

Upon hearing sounds coming from the door, everyone turned to look over.

Chu Cichen’s tough figure appeared to be a big mismatch in the kitchen. He wore a solemn expression and stared at her with his phoenix eyes, speaking in a deep tone. But his voice sounded especially gentle and down-to-earth. “The noodles will be cooked very soon. Wait for another two minutes.”

Chu Yu immediately waved his small hand with gloves on. “Mommy, I took out the crab roe for you!”

Chu Tianye didn’t want to lose out. “Mommy, I peeled the crab meat for you!”

Chu Xiaoqi immediately chimed in, “Aunt, Xiaomeng and I peeled crab legs for you!”

Chu Xiaomeng didn’t say anything but snipped the air with her small scissors, expressing her agreement with Chu Xiaoqi’s words. It was rare to see her dinosaur soft toy at the side. Right now, everyone in the room was someone she was close with, so she wasn’t afraid.

Seeing this, Chu Cichen couldn’t help but join in to say, “I extracted spinach juice and made handmade noodles for you.”

“…” Shen Ruojing’s lips curled.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that all the fighting and wandering she had been through for the past 20 years were insignificant. For an instant, she felt that life was peaceful and quiet, and she hoped that time could stop at this moment.

However, she knew that the mystery from back then hadn’t been resolved yet. Unknown danger was slowly creeping in.

Shen Ruojing then lowered her peach blossom eyes, the smile on her face slowly dissipating. She nodded and sat down at the dining table, watching the one adult and four children, suddenly having the urge to make a comeback in the underworld.

She wanted to protect such beautiful moments.

20 minutes later, Chu Cichen brought out the crab roe noodles. The four children also came in closer after removing their gloves. Just as Chu Yu wanted to get close to Shen Ruojing’s side, Matriarch Chu suddenly appeared upstairs. “Little Yu, Little Ye, Xiaomeng, Xiaoqi, the four of you, come up for a moment~ Your school uniform has been tailored a little. Hurry up and come to try them on~”

The four children instantly ran upstairs.

Chu Cichen looked up and happened to see Matriarch Chu looking at him, making a gesture to tell him to ‘go for it’.

Chu Cichen. “…”

The dining hall that was filled with the sounds of chattering a moment ago suddenly became quiet.

Shen Ruojing felt uneasy for some reason. So, she coughed, picked up the chopsticks, and took a mouthful of noodles. However, she hadn’t expected the noodles to turn out to be firm, chewy, and very delicious.

She said in surprise, “You are actually very good at making handmade noodles.”

“I’m not.”

Chu Cichen said calmly, “I specially learned it for you.”

Shen Ruojing was stunned and then saw the man’s ears turning slightly red. “I remember when we were on a mission in Peru back then, we ordered a serving of spaghetti. However, you said that you like China’s crab roe noodles better.”

Shen Ruojing didn’t remember these things.

However, it was true that she preferred Chinese food and wasn’t used to eating foreign food.

When she stayed overseas for a long duration, she would miss Chinese delicacies such as steamboats, malatang, noodles, stir-fried noodles, and so on a lot. She had probably grumbled about these things.

However, to think that he would go to such lengths just because of a casual thing she said…

Shen Ruojing felt as if something warm had been injected into her chest, causing her expression to become a lot softer. “But you didn’t have to learn how to make it. Isn’t it easy to get noodles in this country?”

Chu Cichen looked at her. “Back then, I didn’t know that you would return to China. I thought that you’d continue to stay overseas, so I thought that I’d be able to make it for you anytime if I learned it.”

After saying this, he asked, “Does it taste good?”

“… It does,” Shen Ruojing replied in a muffled voice.

She ate the noodles very quickly.

In just five minutes, she cleaned the bowl completely and looked like she could still eat more.

Chu Cichen looked at her and suddenly pointed at the corner of his lips, telling her, “You got some crab roe here.”

Shen Ruojing took a napkin and wiped the part at the corner of her lips. “Here?”

“No, here.”

Chu Cichen pointed to his lips again.

Shen Ruojing was baffled. Wasn’t the part she wiped the place he was pointing at?

Seeing that she didn’t understand, Chu Cichen reached his hand over. He didn’t take a napkin but pressed down on the corner of her lip with his finger. The man’s phoenix eyes then flashed with a dark glow and he rubbed her lips, which were actually clean. “Here.”

His warm finger had thin calluses. When it touched her skin, there was a rough rubbing feeling that caused her face to heat up.

The night sky outside was as dark as ink.

Only the light in the dining hall was on. And under the dim lighting, an ambiguous feeling slowly grew.

“Ba-thump, ba-thump…”

Shen Ruojing heard the sound of her heartbeats and subconsciously wanted to back off when the man retracted his finger at a suitable timing. His phoenix eyes then looked at her scorchingly. “Alright, it’s clean now.”

“…”

Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze. After that, she picked up her bowl and entered the kitchen, wanting to wash it. However, Chu Cichen took it from her. “Let me do it.”

“No need. You cooked, so I’ll do the dishes.”

After Shen Ruojing said this subconsciously, his low laughter rang out in her ear.

Only then did she realize how natural her words sounded. It was as if the two of them had been a married couple for a long time.

Shen Ruojing quickly added, “This is a clear distinction of work.”

“Hmmm, you’re right.”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

She washed the dishes quickly and turned to head out of the kitchen. The two of them then went upstairs together.

It was already nine.

The four children had been brought back to their respective rooms by Matriarch Chu to sleep. So, the two of them now stood outside Shen Ruojing’s room. Shen Ruojing said, “I… will be going in.”

“Jingjing.” The man’s lips curled up into a faint smile. “Good night.”

The words ‘good night’ were spoken with a deep voice that seemed to be scratching her heart. This caused Shen Ruojing’s body to tremble slightly.

This man was definitely seducing her.

Shen Ruojing stared at him for a while before raising his peach blossom eyes. “Mr. Chu, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

Shen Ruojing beckoned at him.

As expected, the man lowered his head.

She slowly got close to his ear, looking very sluggish, and her peach blossom eyes were filled with loving emotions. This made Chu Cichen’s throat roll and suddenly feel parched.

His gaze landed on her cherry-red lips again…

Could it be…
