Chapter 98 Staying at Your Home

Ji Xiaonuan wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

When she picked up the things just now, she really didn't pay attention to what she was holding.

While Ji Xiaonuan was feeling annoyed, suddenly there was a "snap" sound, and the two eggs were actually crushed directly by her!

"Is this... you warning me?" Chi Jun'an was speechless.

This so-called "warning" was really terrifying. Ji Xiaonuan quickly threw the eggs into the trash can and said awkwardly, "No..."

She was just too ashamed and annoyed earlier, and she didn't control the strength in her hand well, so she accidentally crushed the eggs.

Chi Jun'an grabbed her hand and placed it under the faucet. He turned on the faucet and helped her wash the egg liquid off her hand.

"Okay," Chi Jun'an gently kissed her on the forehead. "If you really want to help, just wait patiently."

Ji Xiaonuan let out a frustrated "oh". Was she being disliked?

She originally wanted to go back to the living room, but she felt a bit embarrassed, so in the end, she decided to stand at the kitchen door.

Watching Chi Jun'an skillfully handle the ingredients, Ji Xiaonuan was filled with surprise.

He could really cook. Or rather, he was proficient in cooking, not just saying it casually.

Moreover... the way he was cooking seriously was really handsome.

The corners of Ji Xiaonuan's lips curved up involuntarily, and there were beautiful glimmers in her bright eyes.

Soon, Chi Jun'an made Braised Three Delicacies (Sauteed Potato, Eggplant and Green Pepper), Braised Prawns in Oil, Braised Chicken Wings, and a bowl of West Lake Beef Soup. It was three dishes and one soup, with two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish, and the nutritional combination was also very reasonable.

Finally, Chi Jun'an saw there were some wrapped dumplings in the refrigerator and cooked a serving for Ji Xiaonuan.

Ji Xiaonuan directly carried the dishes to the coffee table in the living room, and Chi Jun'an helped bring the bowls and chopsticks.

The two of them sat down on the long sofa, and Ji Xiaonuan casually turned on the TV.

Chi Jun'an peeled a shrimp and placed it in her bowl. "Try it."

Ji Xiaonuan picked up the shrimp and put it in her mouth. She looked at Chi Jun'an in surprise and didn't hold back her praise. "It's delicious, really delicious! Have you specifically learned how to cook?"

"No," Chi Jun'an said calmly. "I just followed the recipe. It's not that difficult."

"..." Ji Xiaonuan gave him a resentful look. She had also tried cooking according to the recipe, but why did it always end up in a mess? Forget it. She was an ordinary person and couldn't compare with a genius like Chi Jun'an.

Chi Jun'an continued to peel shrimps for her. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Ji Xiaonuan picked up a chicken wing and put it in his bowl. "You eat too."

"Okay." Chi Jun'an smiled gently. "Why did you suddenly come all the way to my house?" Ji Xiaonuan asked shyly.

Chi Jun'an's arrival really surprised her.

"I didn't have much to do in the capital city," Chi Jun'an said calmly. "After arranging the matters there, I came over."

"Then how did you think of coming directly to my house..." Ji Xiaonuan bit her chopsticks. "Aren't you being too bold?"

"You said you were home alone, and I was worried about you." Chi Jun'an said calmly.

Ji Xiaonuan felt warm inside, and the slight sourness in her heart had long since dissipated. She lowered her head shyly and continued to eat.

"Have you often been home alone before?" Chi Jun'an asked calmly.

"Not really." Ji Xiaonuan shook her head and said with a smile, "Although my parents are often out, my brother would stay at home and take care of cooking, washing clothes, and such things. I was in charge of eating and having fun."

Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the Ji family really treated Ji Xiaonuan well. He also needed to meet them as soon as possible.

"Then why didn't he come back this year?" he asked next.

"My brother went abroad to study." Ji Xiaonuan explained, "Actually, he wanted to come back, but he has exams these days, so my parents told him not to come back and to focus on his exams." "I see." Chi Jun'an nodded.

"The Spring Festival Gala is about to start." Ji Xiaonuan looked up at the TV.

"Do you like watching it?" he asked.

"No." Ji Xiaonuan shook her head. "The Spring Festival Gala is getting worse every year. It's just that there's nothing else to watch except this."

Chi Jun'an let out a soft laugh.

"By the way, where are you going to stay when you're here?" she asked.

"I haven't decided yet. Or, can I stay at your place?" Chi Jun'an's lips curved slightly.

"No, no, no! My parents will be scared to death!" Ji Xiaonuan was shocked. "You're not really planning to stay at my house, are you?"

"Don't worry. I'll leave soon." Chi Jun'an's eyes dimmed slightly. He smiled and gently stroked Ji Xiaonuan's head. "I'll stay at a hotel later. I've already booked a room."

"Oh..." Hearing him say that, although Ji Xiaonuan heaved a sigh of relief, she also felt a bit uncomfortable.

It seemed that she had hurt his feelings.

Indeed, ever since they got together, Chi Jun'an had cooperated with her and indulged her in everything. She didn't want to go public, so he helped her keep it a secret. Even when he came to see her, he had to do it secretly, and in the end, he even had to leave secretly.

"Chi Jun'an," Ji Xiaonuan suddenly made up her mind. She looked straight at him. "When I graduate, I'll take you to meet my parents." Chi Jun'an was slightly surprised.

He understood what Ji Xiaonuan meant. This was not just about meeting her parents. It could even be said that Ji Xiaonuan was promising him that after she graduated, their relationship would be officially settled.

He would change from her "secret" boyfriend to her official fiancé.

"Ji Xiaonuan, you have to keep your word." Chi Jun'an suddenly smiled faintly, affectionately put his arm around her waist, and pressed his forehead against hers.

"I will definitely keep my word. Don't do this..." His sudden intimacy made her heart beat faster. She put her arms against his chest. "We're still eating."

Chi Jun'an gently kissed her on the lips. "Let's seal the deal first, so you can't run away."

Ji Xiaonuan's face turned even redder.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. It seemed that there were voices talking, and then the door was knocked.

Ji Xiaonuan's face turned pale instantly, and her whole body felt cold!

She was very familiar with the voices outside the door. It was none other than Ji Haifeng and He Rou!

"My parents are back!" She quickly grabbed Chi Jun'an's hand and, in a panic, led him into her room.

It was too late to let Chi Jun'an leave now. As soon as he went out, he would run into her parents. She could only hide him first. "You hide here for now," Ji Xiaonuan quickly instructed. "Don't make a sound!"

"Ji Xiaonuan," Chi Jun'an said somewhat helplessly as he grabbed her hand. "Or, should we just go public?"

"No way!" Ji Xiaonuan said angrily, and then closed the door heavily.

She had just told her parents that she didn't have a boyfriend. What would happen if they found out? Moreover, she had directly hidden Chi Jun'an in her house!

If they really ran into each other, Ji Xiaonuan really suspected that her father would be so angry that he would faint, her mother would directly lock Chi Jun'an up in the police station and give him a good lesson, and even her brother would fly back without taking the exams!
