Secretary Chen has a Headache Again Today!!! - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 : Cooking Together

“What are you doing here?”

The black Maybach sped along the asphalt road under the streetlights.

Lian Xufeng stepped on the accelerator, and the wind came in through the gap in the passenger seat window and hit Chen Xun’s dark pupils head-on.

Chen Xun narrowed his eyes, and the next second, the gap was closed.

He turned his head to stare at Lian Xufeng’s silent profile, pursed his lips, and leaned on the half-tilted leather seat.

“Ding ding.”

The notification of a new message appeared on his phone.

Chen Xun opened it and saw that it was from Bai Xiu Ze whom he had just said goodbye to.

The other party used another WeChat account. Chen Xun had been in contact with him since college, and their last text records ended with the Chinese New Year greetings this year.

[Bai Xiu Ze: Have you arrived home?]

Chen Xun turned his head to look at Lian Xufeng’s expression again, trying to figure out when the man would calm down. Then, he lowered his head to reply to Bai Xiu Ze’s message.

[Chen Xun: Not yet, maybe in a while.]

The other party appeared to be typing for a few seconds and then disappeared.

After dozens of seconds, until the time in the upper right corner of the screen was about to jump to the next minute, the other party sent a new message.

[Bai Xiu Ze: Don’t spoil him too much.]

Chen Xun couldn’t help laughing, and just as he was about to say something, Bai Xiu Ze sent another message.

[Bai Xiu Ze: Chen Xun, I’ve always found this very strange.]

[Bai Xiu Ze: You said that the matching degree between you and Lian Xu Feng is only 1%, but why would ordinary AOs specifically measure their compatibility degree?]

Chen Xun’s thumb, which was on the screen, retracted as if deflated.

Indeed, if they were just ordinary friends, they would not have tested their compatibility degree.

Maybe it was the master and the mistress, or maybe it was his own father, Zhongbo. In any case, on the third day after they had differentiated, when Chen Xun woke up from his coma, he was told the news.

Chen Xun sometimes wondered, if it wasn’t for that destined tragic ending, maybe he would’ve still given it a try and tried to be brave for once.

But he knew clearly how passive he was.

Lian Xufeng didn’t love him, which was the reason why he could never take a step forward.

“Chen Xun——”

The Alpha’s voice was drawn out.

Chen Xun was awakened by the voice and found that the car was parked in the garage of Lian Xufeng’s private apartment.

The yellowish light illuminated the dim interior of the car.

Chen Xun unconsciously met Lian Xufeng’s eyes which contained hints of dissatisfaction.

The Alpha, with some displeasure and nervousness, unbuckled his seat belt and slowly approached the Omega.

The disgusting smell of red wine was extremely repellent, as if it was declaring its sovereignty, causing Lian Xufeng to involuntarily release his pheromones, which lingered around Chen Xun’s body.

The Omega still had his eyes open, staring at him in confusion.

Lian Xufeng was a little annoyed.

Because their pheromone matching degree was too low, Chen Xun could not smell his own pheromones.

No matter what he did, it was useless. Chen Xun’s nose could only smell the man’s red wine.

Lian Xufeng sat back in the driver’s seat, feeling somewhat dejected.

He smoothed the hair on his forehead, put his elbows on the back of the seat, and questioned Chen Xun angrily: “You don’t even talk to me.”

Chen Xun was stunned.

A helpless look quickly appeared on his face. “How do you want me to talk to you? When you’re ordering Wangzai milk? Or when you’re stealing someone else’s clothes?”

Lian Xufeng’s face showed a rare hint of embarrassment.

“I paid for the clothes. Besides, what’s wrong with drinking Wangzai milk? Don’t you drink iced Americano too?”

The Lian Xufeng in front of him hardly resembled the CEO who founded Weiming and is in charge of the trading field.

But Chen Xun just likes this kind of Lian Xufeng the most.

Maybe he just envied Lian Xufeng’s liveliness.

He could do whatever he liked without any restrictions, laugh when he wanted to and even get angry when he didn’t like what was happening, and he would not compromise for anyone or anything.

Chen Xun looked at Lian Xufeng and raised the corners of his lips, “So why did you follow me?”

“To see how your blind date would turn out.”

Lian Xufeng glanced at the phone in Chen Xun’s hand that was flashing with a message, and thought, Bai Xiu Ze was still as persistent as before.

He knew that since college Chen Xun had a senior, who was polite, gentle and considerate.

Lian Xufeng didn’t think there was anything wrong at first, until he soon realised that Chen Xun often mentioned this senior from the literature club while talking to him.

Lian Xufeng, who was ranked first among Chen Xun’s friends, became alert, so he found an opportunity to join the literature club. Under Chen Xun’s surprised gaze, he began to read the literary works that he had never liked before.

He also discovered that Bai Xiu Ze had a little affection for Chen Xun.

“So what do you think of him?”

Chen Xun’s voice interrupted Lian Xufeng’s bad memories.

Lian Xufeng raised his eyes and shook his head decisively, “He didn’t pursue you in the beginning, and now he’s here for a blind date. His heart is not sincere.”

Chen Xun lowered his eyes and couldn’t help but chuckle. His thick eyelashes fluttered up and down, drawing away all of Lian Xufeng’s thoughts.

“What you said is true. When going on a blind date, don’t everyone have their own purpose at the beginning?”

When people in the upper class go on blind dates, they will definitely require a good match and a strong alliance; when ordinary people go on blind dates, they also hope the candidate to be rich, safe and have a worry-free life. After all, it’s a blind date, and most people go on blind dates a few times before deciding on a lifetime commitment. It is natural to have a purpose.

The environment in the garage was a bit stuffy, and Chen Xun unconsciously fanned himself with his hands.

Lian Xufeng noticed his little move, opened the car door first, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door on Chen Xun’s side, bent down, and suggested, “Let’s go, don’t go back to the old house tonight.”

Chen Xun glanced at the weather outside. The sky was getting darker minute by minute . The warm yellow hue that originally enveloped the air had transformed into pure black without him noticing.

“Then I’ll send a message to my dad.” Chen Xun took out his cell phone and sent a message to his father.

Lian Xufeng glanced at the other red dots on the chat interface. Bai Xiu Ze sent the four words “Have a good rest”. More messages came from the gossipy Wu Tingmiao and… Chen Yan.

“Are you familiar with that Omega?”

The two walked to the door together, and Chen Xun naturally unlocked the door with his index finger fingerprint.

Hearing Lian Xufeng’s question, Chen Xun changed into his home slippers, looked back and answered: “Which Omega?”

“Which one?” Lian Xufeng couldn’t answer for a moment. He didn’t have much impression of Chen Yan. The only thing he remembered about him was that he had caused Chen Xun to have an allergic reaction.

But if he kept bringing up the past, wouldn’t it make him seem like a petty boss?

Lian Xufeng thought for a long time before he vaguely remembered something, “It’s the one with the same last name as you.”

Chen Xun paused as he entered the room.

Lian Xufeng rarely caredmuch about an Omega.

Even for his previous blind date partner, Lian Xufeng had only one requirement, that it had to be a woman. As for the rest, Lian Xufeng didn’t care at all. Sometimes, even after the blind date was over, Lian Xufeng couldn’t remember what color the other person’s hair was.

“Chen Yan has just joined. Wu Tingmiao is his mentor. So he doesn’t dare to ask some questions a second time, so he comes to ask me.”

Chen Xun tried hard to maintain a calm tone. He walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, took out his cell phone and took a look at it tiredly.

Seven thirty, an awkward time.

Chen Xun felt a little hungry, but he knew that there would not be any food in Lian Xufeng’s apartment.

Young Master Lian refused all nannies and cooks, and only agreed to have the cleaner come over to clean for 2 hours every day and then leave. As for the three meals a day, Lian Xufeng basically had them in the company. If things got worse, there were also takeouts from various hotels and private restaurants.

“He is Wu Tingmiao’s apprentice, let him handle it himself.”

Lian Xufeng said it as he walked up to Chen Xun and looked down at his slender childhood friend.

‘Thin, too thin.’

The fitted suit that was custom-made in Milan two months ago was surprisingly a bit loose on Chen Xun.

“Let’s go.” Young Master Lian raised his chin.

Chen Xun raised his slender neck in confusion, “Where are we going?”

“The kitchen.” Lian Xufeng took off his suit jacket. He had already given the leather jacket to the unlucky college student. Hidden under the suit was a black vest and a well-ironed white shirt.

Alpha walked into the kitchen on his own. Although Chen Xun didn’t know what he was going to do, he still followed him anyway.

The man skillfully opened the freezer under the double-door refrigerator and took out a basin.

The mung bean water that had been frozen into ice cubes appeared vividly in front of Chen Xun.

Almost at a glance, Chen Xun knew that Lian Xufeng’s menu today would definitely include an icy green bean smoothie.

Lian Xufeng placed one hand on the edge of the basin and reached out to Chen Xun, “Help me.”

“Yeah!” Chen Xun took a step forward and touched Lian Xufeng’s wrist.

The slender Omega slowly unbuttoned his royal blue cufflinks and rolled up the long sleeves of his white shirt little by little. Every time he rolled up his shirt, he could see the clearly visible blood vessels and slightly bulging muscles on the Alpha’s arms.

He lowered his head and rolled up Lian Xufeng’s sleeves carefully as if he was handling a treasure.

Chen Xun was very familiar with this kind of action, but every time he did it, it was too heart-moving.

Lian Xufeng stared at Chen Xun’s pointed chin and thought, ‘the old man must have been neglectful recently, how could he have let him become so thin?’

“There’s no time to cook much, how about making a tomato and egg soup?” Lian Xufeng took out the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator swiftly. When he took out the eggs, he turned around and asked.

“Okay.” Chen Xun nodded and took a look at the full refrigerator. “Why did you buy so many vegetables? Did the cleaning lady buy them for you?”

“The hotel sent it to me.” Lian Xufeng closed the refrigerator and said casually, “Buying groceries is so troublesome. Just tell them what you want to cook, and they will deliver all the ingredients and seasonings. They are all good.”

Only Lian Xufeng could do such a thing. If others went to the hotel to buy groceries, they would probably be regarded as crazy by the hotel staff.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen.

Chen Xun had just recovered from a serious illness, and so Lian Xufeng didn’t let him do much, not even cutting vegetables, and he called it “recuperation.”

Chen Xun had no choice but to help wash the vegetables with a helpless smile, and then stand beside Lian Xufeng as a “food taster”.

Lian Xufeng didn’t cook too much, just three dishes and one soup. The soup alone was a bit light, and the rest of the dishes were all meat dishes like big plate chicken, squirrel mandarin fish, and potato beef brisket. Chen Xun felt a little dizzy before they even started eating.

“Eat more.” Lian Xufeng took off his apron and picked up some food for Chen Xun.

His cooking skills were really good. Although they were all meat dishes, Chen Xun didn’t feel sick of them at all. They were delicious and went well with rice. Before he knew it, Chen Xun had finished a whole bowl.

Lian Xufeng felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw Chen Xun eating more than usual.

He took advantage of the situation and took Chen Xun’s bowl and asked, “More?”

“No, I won’t be able to sleep if I eat any more.” Chen Xun touched his stomach. Ever since the allergic reaction, his stomach had always been aching. Today, after eating the meal made by Lian Xufeng, he actually felt better.

“Really? Not eating?”

Lian Xufeng wanted to pick up some food for Chen Xun, but Chen Xun dodged by holding the bowl, “Why are you nagging like my dad?”

“You’re just too thin. I’ll settle the score with Uncle Zhong and the cook when I get back.”

Lian Xufeng snorted in dissatisfaction, totally ignoring the father-son relationship between Chen Xun and Zhong Bo, and bluntly talked about Zhong Bo’s gossip: “You have been so busy recently, you are tired and thin, Zhong Bo doesn’t care about you, and even lets you go on a blind date. You must not listen to him, your health is the most important thing.”

Chen Xun looked at his “fawning” expression, cleared the table and went to the kitchen.

“No, Chen Xun, are you really going on a blind date?” Lian Xufeng was surprised. In the past, Chen Xun would listen to him whenever he said a few words, but why didn’t it work this time?

Is Bai Xiu Ze really that good?

Chen Xun doesn’t even want his childhood sweetheart anymore?!

Chen Xun raised an eyebrow and put the dishes in the dishwasher. “I’ve already gone on a blind date.”

He clapped his hands and washed off the stains on them. “My dad is right. I’m old now. It’s time for me to find someone to marry.”

“That…that can’t be Bai Xiu Ze…”

Lian Xufeng had a lot of opinions about Bai Xiu Ze since college.

Not to mention that they were both known as the most handsome boys of University A, and there was no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone Chen Xun.

Every time he wanted to find Chen Xun, Bai Xiu Ze would use some kind of study group or reading club to seduce Chen Xun, as if he really thought that his charm could outweigh the twenty years of relationship between him and Chen Xun.

And since he liked Chen Xun, why didn’t he confess his feelings in college? Wasn’t it because he felt he was not worthy of Chen Xun, and waited for a few years to see that Chen Xun had no partner, so he tried every means to get in touch with Zhong Bo and go on a blind date with Chen Xun?

Lian Xufeng highly suspected that something was wrong, but he had no good reason to persuade Chen Xun not to go on a blind date.

After thinking about it for a long time, the Alpha gave a fist-fist, “That’s it! I’ll help you find a blind date!”
