Married to the Protagonist

Chapter 14: Guests (3)

The girls stopped whispering to one another, probably finding it awkward. They looked at Yan Cheng with red faces for a while before their gazes stopped at Chen Jinyao. In the end, they pushed one another ahead to pay the bill.

“…” Chen Jinyao shifted her face and bit her lips.

After a while, she couldn’t hold it in. At the same time that she turned around to look at him, she elbowed his waist. She narrowed her eyes unfriendly. “Why did you take that?!”

Even more, she flew into a rage out of humiliation, stomping her feet.

Yan Cheng’s gaze was calm. He then said faintly, “Just in case.”

——————————————–

Around 10am the next day.

Shao Chongsi, Chai Yue, and Atai arrived at their home in time.

Naturally, as guests, they didn’t forget to bring gifts.

Yan Cheng opened the door for them. The moment he did, the three outside the door were stunned. They felt as if something inside their hearts was ruined.

Their young master that usually fooled and played around actually wore a cartoon-style blue apron. The other hand that wasn’t holding the door was holding a sharp and reflective kitchen knife that still had green chopped onion bits on it.

“…”

“…….”

“………….”

The situation was awkward.

Chai Yue reacted first and lifted his brows, “You want to butcher us?”

“Yep.” Yan Cheng lazily leaned to the side and let them in. He didn’t deny it either. He gritted his teeth. “I do want to butch you guys.”

Chen Jinyao popped her head out from the kitchen, peeling garlic in her hands. After greeting the three, she naturally said, “Hubby, pour tea for the guests.”

The moment he said this, before Yan Cheng’s expression could turn dark, Atai jumped out as if someone had stepped on his tail. “It’s fine, sister-in-law. We’re not thirsty.”

Just thinking about letting their boss pour tea for them made them frightened.

Yan Cheng was very pleased with Atai’s attitude. He had them sit in the living room before his cold gaze faintly landed on his two other friends.

Chai Yue immediately sat still and said, “No need for the trouble. I can pour it myself.”

“Me too.” Shao Chongsi slowly expressed his position too.

Yan Cheng was completely comforted by then.

He was willing to cooperate with Chen Jinyao to act like a couple, thus the reason why he tied an apron around his waist. This was also why he returned to the kitchen to help Chen Jinyao after settling his friends down.

Their living room and kitchen were in the same space. Two-thirds of the space was the kitchen, and the rest belonged to the kitchen. One could see what happened in the kitchen looking from the living room.

Therefore, the three were much more shocked than they were when they just entered to see Yan Cheng standing by Chen Jinyao’s side and helping her slowly cut the vegetables up.

The vegetables on the cutting board were unbearable to the eyes.

Chen Jinyao didn’t want to look at it the second time. The effect was achieved. There was no point to act anymore. She shifted her legs and tapped Yan Cheng’s lower leg. Yan Cheng slightly bent down and asked, “Hm?”

“Go out and be with your friends. It’s not like you can help me. When the dishes are cooked, I’ll call you then.” Chen Jinyao lowered her voice.

Yan Cheng snorted and asked, “You’re breaking the bridge now that you’ve crossed it?”

Only

“Breaking it my ass.” Chen Jinyao laughed and exclaimed, “Right, bring the washed and cut fruits outside.” She shifted her gaze and looked over, raising her chin to indicate.

At this time, in the three strangers’ eyes, they thought that the couple was bantering flirtatiously.

Shock wasn’t enough to describe the three.

At this time, they acted as if they’ve seen a ghost!

How was this possible?!

Shao Chongsi slightly narrowed his eyes and sat leisurely, leaning against the sofa arm the entire time. With one hand supporting his chin, he glanced at the situation in the kitchen. Not long later, a smile floated on his lips.

Although he just received the information, he was still considering whether or not to tell Yan Cheng about this.

Tch. didn’t Chen Jinyao like Huo Qidong?
