Chapter 81: Are You Falling for Me? 7
"Do you really think it's beautiful? Hmph, these are all things that Mr. Ji doesn't care for; everything he likes has already been given to his girlfriend."
Mo Li was caught off guard when Ji Yan kissed her.
The kiss was light and quick, just a polite touch.
Yet it made Mo Li feel as if she had been electrocuted, leaving her completely numb.
By the time she came to her senses, Ji Yan was no longer in front of her.
The sound of clattering came from the kitchen, both familiar and strange.
The Xiao Family home was large, and the kitchen was far from the living room and her room, making such sounds rarely heard.
Her memories of the kitchen were from before she turned ten.
At that time, although her family's situation was decent, they did not hire a maid.
All the household chores were done by Mom herself.
Every day before meals, a symphony of pots and pans can be heard in the kitchen.
But how could such sounds be present in Ji Yan's home?
How could someone like Ji Yan ever be involved with the kitchen?
Mo Li quietly got up and walked to the kitchen door.
The kitchen door was slightly ajar, probably because Ji Yan was afraid that the smell of cooking oil would waft into the living room and bother her.
Mo Li gently pushed the door open.
At the moment the door swung open, she saw Ji Yan, wearing an apron, busy at the gas stove.
But in an instant, Ji Yan's spatula came to a halt right in front of Mo Li's neck.
Mo Li was so startled that she froze, unable to say a word.
When Ji Yan recognized Mo Li, she quickly retracted the spatula and pulled the startled Mo Li into her embrace.
"Why aren't you lying down like a good girl? Did I scare you?"
Mo Li had already calmed down and lifted her head from Ji Yan's chest.
He looked up at him and asked, "Why?"
Ji Yan smiled bitterly.
"I'm used to it, used to staying alert."
A burnt smell wafted through the air.
Ji Yan exclaimed, "Oh no, it's burnt."
He hurriedly released Mo Li, walked over to the gas stove, turned off the flame, and moved the pot aside.
He discarded the burnt food, washed the pot, and reignited the flame.
Mo Li leaned against the doorframe, watching the busy Ji Yan with pity in his eyes.
"Ji Yan, you must have suffered a lot in the past."
Ji Yan continued to work diligently.
Calmly, he replied, "It's all in the past."
