Chen Kexin wasn't just dumb. Regardless how much Lan Xiao sided and doted her, he could not help but admitted that Chen Kexin was really bad in doing household ch.o.r.es.

Right after she was taught on the safety precautions for gas stoves, Chen Kexin had already begun to nod her head impatiently and grumbled about the bad odor. Her reaction did amuse Lan Xiao, yet he could only continue to teach her patiently. Lan Xiao had even started to think that she was lucky to have him as her teacher. If Chen Kexin was handed over to the other teachers under him, those teachers would probably be forced to quit their jobs. Moreover, other than Chen Kexin, he doubted that there was anyone else who needed to be taught on how to use the gas stoves during cooking cla.s.ses.

"Gosh, I gave up on practicing. This is so annoying. It's just a gas stove, why do we need to spend so much time on it? How do we use it? What are the safety issues? Listening to all these give me a headache. I've been listening to you for so long, and I have yet to touch the pots. This is so annoying!" Chen Kexin grumbled unhappily.

Lan Xiao smiled gently as he gazed at the beautiful woman who pouted her mouth in front of him.

Chen Kexin noticed that Lan Xiao kept quiet. She then walked over to his side and pulled his arm as she said coquettishly, "Xiaoxiao, can't you teach me at a faster pace? You can just skip these simple procedures!"

Lan Xiao shook his head and said patiently, "Kexin, you have never touched these items since young, so it's my responsibility to teach you step-by-step. Say, if I didn't warn you that there will be oil splatter if you poured oil into a wet wok, you would have scalded yourself. Isn't it easier for you to make mistakes when cooking?"

Chen Kexin lowered her head and kept quiet. It was natural for her not to have such knowledge even though it might just be common sense to others.

"All right, just note these down now and I'll teach you how to cook in the afternoon. Is that okay?" Lan Xiao coaxed her leniently.

The disappointed look on Chen Kexin's face was suddenly replaced by a pleased look. She happily hugged Lan Xiao and said excitedly, "Great! Xiaoxiao, I knew you treat me the best."

Lan Xiao was taken aback by her reaction. Her hug and the warmth made him wallowed in happiness as he couldn't pull him out of the nostalgic feeling.

Chen Kexin suddenly became aware of the situation and released her arms instantly. Her face became blushed as she embarra.s.sedly scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.

Lan Xiao frowned slightly. Yes, she was no longer that little girl who would mindlessly hug him. She had a lover. She would not dare to hug him without any reason again.

Chen Kexin lowered her head further as she sensed Lan Xiao's stare. It was impossible for her not to understand how Lan Xiao felt for her; however, everyone would selfishly want a husband who could spoil themselves and a soul mate who would treasure them. Perhaps Chen Kexin couldn't understand why she herself could be so selfish. She had even thought that as long as she had no distracting thoughts for Lan Xiao, the perfect Lan Xiao in her heart would never have ulterior motives with her.

Yet, she didn't know that in this world, love was something that could be filled with all sorts possibilities and impossibilities. What other thing was love incapable of if it could take a person's life away?

After keeping quiet for a while, Lan Xiao suddenly stretched out his arm and gently patted Chen Kexin's black hair. Chen Kexin was shocked by his action and she unconsciously retreated, as if she was trying to avoid his touch.

Lan Xiao's arm awkwardly stopped there. Chen Kexin knew she had done the wrong thing, yet she did not dare to move forward. After a short while, Lan Xiao slowly put down his arm. He maintained the gentle smile on his face and said, "Sure. Let's take a break. It's time for you to return. I supposed your husband is reaching soon?" He naturally mentioned that man.

Chen Kexin nodded her head and said, "Yeah, but he still doesn't know where's your office. I'll send him a text message."

Lan Xiao nodded his head and said, "Come to my office then and wait for him on the sofa." He then pulled Chen Kexin out of the kitchen.

Both of them came to Lan Xiao's office.

Once Chen Kexin had her eyes laid on the cozy-looking sofa, she immediately dashed over and threw herself on it. Finally, she laid her body on the sofa and shut her eyes lazily. She looked as though she was ready to go into a deep sleep.

Lan Xiao grinned as he brewed two cups of tea and placed it onto the table in front of Chen Kexin. He then slowly took a sip from his cup of tea.

"Thank you." She replied wearily.

Lan Xiao quietly gave a smile in return.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Weixi, who had received Chen Kexin's texts, knocked off from his work and started packing up his stuff to fetch his lovely wife.

"It is only the first day of cla.s.s and she's already unable to wake up in time. Will Lan Xiao be angry about it? Well, it will be great if that's the case." Chen Weixi smiled and thought cunningly to himself.

He speedily packed his stuff and left the company despite everyone was looking at him. He then got into his car and drove off to the housewife training course without slowing down for a moment.

He arrived at the entrance of the housewife training course venue after 10 minutes.

A few groups of ladies walked out from the place and were laughing happily. w.a.n.g Weixi frowned and alighted from his car as he called Chen Kexin. Upon closing the car door, a few ladies looked in his direction.

Chen Kexin heard her phone ringing and knew that w.a.n.g Weixi had arrived. She joyfully dashed down the stairs. Noticing how buoyant she looked, Lan Xiao felt slightly disappointed; however, his heart began to hurt whenever he was reminded that her smile was for the other man.

Chen Kexin dashed out of the entrance and towards Chen Weixi excitedly as she said, "Darling, you're here!"

The few ladies, who had not walked far, were taken aback by this scene. They had never thought that this young and cute-looking lady was already married.

Chen Kexin hugged w.a.n.g Weixi's arm and rubbed herself against it as she anxiously gave him an account of what she had learned today. w.a.n.g Weixi just remained quiet and gazed at her beautiful eyes while listening to her.

Just then, a red car drove in their direction slowly. w.a.n.g Weixi frowned and thought, "Sister-in-law is here as well?"

Chen Keren had noticed the sweet look on Chen Kexin's and w.a.n.g Weixi's faces from far. She couldn't help raising her head and saw Lan Xiao staring intensively at both of them by the floor to ceiling window. She smirked and stopped her car beside w.a.n.g Weixi's.

Chen Keren got off from her car and said disdainfully, "Aren't you free? You still have the time to fetch her home."

Chen Kexin turned around and saw the arrogant and cold look on Chen Keren's face. She was already used to that look on her sister's face, so she smiled and greeted, "Keren, why are you here too?"

Chen Keren pointed upstairs and said neutrally, "I dated Lan Xiao for lunch."

Chen Kexin widened her eyes and stared at Chen Keren surprisingly. Didn't Chen Keren hate men? She always thought Chen Keren was a lesbian. What happened? She actually initiated to date Lan Xiao several times? Chen Kexin sn.i.g.g.e.red. She then walked over, grinned and asked, "Keren, when did you...become so proactive into such matter? Heehee."

If Chen Keren liked Lan Xiao, Chen Kexin would be happier than anyone. She did remember what happened in the past. At that time when Chen Keren was still a cheerful and adorable girl, she loved to stay beside Lan Xiao. Her dependence and love towards him was something she could never hide.

w.a.n.g Weixi stood aside and remained silent without any expression. Upon hearing Chen Kexin's words, he became less suspicious of Chen Keren.

He could somewhat understand Keren's characteristics. Just by judging from how she treated Yi Duanfang, Chen Weixi knew that Chen Keren wasn't someone who would reveal her own feelings towards a man. Since she was the one who initiated to treat Lan Xiao well, he was certain that there was something between them. Even if Chen Keren was lying to him and Lan Xiao wasn't her fiance, he was sure that Lan Xiao was interested in Chen Keren. At the thought of these, Chen Weixi couldn't help but sigh. His sister-in-law was finally falling in love.

However, he was slightly disappointed with the outcome. He initially thought she would help him to tame that evil Yi Duanfang. Sigh... Guess there wasn't a choice. Lan Xiao was just so perfect.

Even though he did not wish to admit it, he had no choice.

After listening to Chen Kexin's words, Chen Keren snorted and said nothing.

w.a.n.g Weixi thought cheekily, "Ah, my sister-in-law is embarra.s.sed."

Meanwhile, Lan Xiao had come down.

"Keren, you're here too." He said and smiled gently at Chen Keren without greeting w.a.n.g Chenxi.

Chen Keren smiled back cheerfully and said nothing.

w.a.n.g Weixi thought that the relations.h.i.+p between both of them was rather amazing, but he didn't pursue further about the look Lan Xiao gave to Kexin that night. He thought he was probably too nervous for Chen Kexin then.

Lan Xiao's eyes gradually laid onto w.a.n.g Weixi as he smiled politely and said, "h.e.l.lo."

w.a.n.g Weixi replied awkwardly, "h.e.l.lo."

"Darling, let's go home. I'm starving." Chen Kexin touched her flat tummy and complained unhappily.

w.a.n.g Weixi touched her head and said, "Sure, let's go."

Just as they were about to turn and leave, Chen Keren called out to them patiently and said, "I'm hungry too. Why don't we have lunch together?"
