Chapter 884: Chapter 36: Burned the Kitchen Again

Xiao Jiemei finished her words.

Yan Yuan was just about to brush it off.

Behind her, Bai Chenxi’s cold voice came down from upstairs, “Yan Yuan, what got burned!”

“Ah!” Yan Yuan suddenly realized she still had a steak frying in the pan.

“I can’t talk to you now, Weiwei, I have an emergency, bye!” Yan Yuan hung up the phone, threw it aside, and rushed into the kitchen.

Xiao Jiemei seemed to hear a man’s voice from the phone…

At this moment, a puff of smoke came out of the kitchen, immediately making her eyes water.

Bai Chenxi thought the kitchen was on fire; he rushed downstairs and saw Yan Yuan fumbling around helplessly in the thick smoke.

He rushed in and first turned off the gas stove.

Yan Yuan, holding a water ladle, directly poured it into the pan.

With a loud noise, terrifying flames leaped up at the stove.

But they extinguished in an instant.

Luckily, Bai Chenxi reacted quickly and had turned off the gas.

After a full three minutes, the kitchen finally returned to calm.

Yan Yuan stood there looking disheveled, her hair in a mess, staring at the greasy floor with her head lowered.

Bai Chenxi rubbed his forehead, whatever!

This person is really not suited for cooking!

The kitchen holds a grudge against her; she truly is someone who only eats but doesn’t cook.

It’s no wonder she eats so much food; maybe it’s because she can’t make her next meal!

“What are you waiting for, go change your clothes. You’re filthy!” Bai Chenxi held back his temper and turned around, striding toward the door.

Yan Yuan thought he was angry, hastily ran after him, grabbed his arm and said, “Hey, I told you. I can’t cook. I learned what you taught me last night, but I just answered a call, it’s not my fault!”

Bai Chenxi saw that she was still making every effort to argue, suddenly turned around to face Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan was moving too fast, couldn’t stop, and bumped directly into his arms.

Bai Chenxi didn’t step back; instead, he moved forward step by step, his chest pressing against Yan Yuan’s face, cornering her against the wall.

Yan Yuan looked at Bai Chenxi’s cold face, her back tightly against the chilly wall, her mouth trembling, unable to speak for a long time.

Especially now, Bai Chenxi was looking down at her from above, his amber eyes deep and turbulent like the ocean.

“Tell me, what else can you do!”

After a long while, Bai Chenxi spoke through gritted teeth.

“I can eat!” Yan Yuan almost blurted out instinctively, then saw Bai Chenxi’s face change.

She giggled awkwardly, “I can do a lot, like drawing weapon blueprints, manufacturing spaceship data, and so on.”

“Why didn’t you say so, you might even be able to reach the sky!” Bai Chenxi thought this girl couldn’t say anything truthful.

She can’t even cook, but she claims to draw weapon blueprints.

Is she fooling a three-year-old!

Bai Chenxi’s words were originally meant to mock Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan quickly nodded, “I really could reach the sky, just not right now.”

Bai Chenxi was so annoyed, he let her babble on: “Don’t tell me you’re from outer space!”

“You could put it that way!” Yan Yuan said seriously.

Bai Chenxi gritted his teeth, staring at the girl in front of him.

With her long black hair, thick, curled lashes, her jade-like face, and red lips as tempting as cherries.

Since they were so close, he could smell her beautiful fragrance.

It was a complex scent not belonging to any known kind, indescribable but pleasant.

Just by being near her, the smell seemed to have a calming effect, and his previously agitated temper suddenly became serene.

Yan Yuan, seeing Bai Chenxi’s disbelief, rolled her eyes and pushed at his chest, “Move aside, you don’t believe me anyway. It’s no big deal if I leave.”

In the future, she’ll earn lots of money and eat on her own!

But she pushed him a few times with all her might and didn’t budge him.

Suddenly, looking at his handsome side profile up close, her cheeks flushed a little.

She had never been this close to any man before, especially with her hand on his chest, able to hear his steady and strong heartbeat.

She awkwardly grabbed Bai Chenxi’s hand and pushed once more.

This time, she managed to move Bai Chenxi an inch.

She took the opportunity to slip away from his side like an eel.

Bai Chenxi thought she was really going to leave.

Instinctively, he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling Yan Yuan back.

“You say you can draw weapon blueprints, show me. If you’re good, I’ll believe you!” Bai Chenxi said seriously while holding her.

The flush on Yan Yuan’s face hadn’t faded yet, and being pulled back once more made her heart race, “So you won’t kick me out?”

Bai Chenxi, hearing her response, was left speechless.

“When did I say I’d kick you out?” Bai Chenxi reached out to pat her head, looking at her with a few hints of gentle affection, “You’re not a superstar yet, give up the support now and you won’t have good food later!”

Yan Yuan blinked and thought for a moment, that does make sense!

“How about this. Bai Chenxi, let’s make a deal! I’ll sell my weapon design blueprints to you, and you give me money. We’ll be business partners and get rich together!” Yan Yuan decided, realizing she needed a partner to sell her blueprints.

Instead of letting others profit, why not make a deal with the big shot in front of her.

This way, they both can make money, a win-win situation.

Bai Chenxi didn’t expect Yan Yuan to be serious, especially seeing her expression showing no sign of joking.

“Sure, as long as your stuff has commercial value. I can trade with you!” Bai Chenxi casually said, but he didn’t harbor too much hope for Yan Yuan.

The kitchen incident was settled like that.

Yan Yuan pulled her arm back from Bai Chenxi’s grasp and returned to her room; every time she went into the kitchen, she made a mess, so she needed to wash up before going out.

Bai Chenxi watched Yan Yuan’s departing figure, frowning deeply, whatever!

He really was outdone by this girl.

He called someone to clean up the kitchen!

From now on, he would never let her cook again, or she might burn the house down!

Yan Yuan took a bath and changed into clean clothes.

If she ignored the kitchen accident, she felt today was the most satisfying and best-eaten day in years.

Sated and content, she only wanted to lie down in bed and have a good sleep.

So, she forgot all about her promise to Bai Chenxi to draw the blueprints.

Bai Chenxi waited an hour for Yan Yuan in the living room, as the kitchen once again started filling with fragrant food.

But upstairs, there was still no sign from Yan Yuan.

He held a book, reading while keeping an eye on the stairs.

The chef had prepared a whole table of dishes and said to Bai Chenxi, “Sir, it’s best to eat while it’s hot. Once it’s cold, the taste will change!”

At this moment, Bai Chenxi put down his book, stood up, and headed upstairs.

He knocked on the door from outside, “Yan Yuan!”

Who takes this long to bathe! Bai Chenxi thought.

But despite knocking for a long time, there was no answer.
