Two People with No Chemistry

Yiren and Su Yuncao were in the kitchen, gesturing as they prepared the pastries for the evening. This was what Su Yuncao was best at, while it was Yiren's weakest area.

Yiren had flour all over her face because she was really clumsy when it came to cooking. She had no talent in this regard at all. If she could turn her cooking skills into martial arts skills, she would be able to pass with ease.

When Yiren finally saw the cake she made come out of the oven, she slumped down in disappointment. Because what was in front of her wasn't a cake, but just cooked flour that hadn't even risen.

"Don't lose heart. It'll be okay after a few more tries," Su Yuncao said, patting Yiren on the shoulder to comfort her."I'm afraid I'll burn down the kitchen before I succeed in making a good cake," Yiren said, completely giving up. Some people were naturally well-rounded, like Su Yuncao, while others, like herself, were extremely one-sided in their abilities.

"It doesn't matter. I believe that even if you can't cook, my son won't mind," Su Yuncao said. After all, there was already a chef in the Cheng family, so it didn't matter if Yiren couldn't cook.

"Um... Auntie, why do you always think that Yuxuan and I are a couple?" Yiren was really defeated because no matter how many times she clarified, Su Yuncao still thought of her as Cheng Yuxuan's girlfriend."You two look really good together," Su Yuncao said matter-of-factly. She was just waiting for her son to graduate from the United States and marry Yiren.

"We're just good friends, the kind of friends who can only be friends," Yiren said with a smile. In her mind, she immediately pictured a handsome and sunny man standing next to a dull and ordinary woman. No matter how she looked at it, they had nothing to do with being a perfect match.

"Feelings can be cultivated. Or do you think our Yuxuan is a bit lacking?" Su Yuncao put the finished cake in the refrigerator so that it would taste better when taken out in the evening.

"A bit lacking?" Yiren's mind flashed with Cheng Yuxuan's handsome and sunny face, a face that could make all the girls in the school go crazy. "He's not a bit lacking. He's too perfect! My heart couldn't take being with someone too perfect," Yiren said, laughing. She had found the best excuse for herself.

"Why?" Su Yuncao was puzzled by Yiren's reason."Because I'd have to worry all day long whether he would fall in love with someone else, have an affair, or abandon me, and so on. My fragile heart couldn't stand that," Yiren said, feeling that her power of expression was really rich. She could talk about some unfounded accusations so naturally.

"That won't happen! Yuxuan's father doesn't have that kind of gene, and Yuxuan probably won't either," Su Yuncao said confidently. All the previous unhappiness had been due to misunderstandings. Cheng Zongyi had always been faithful to her, so their son shouldn't be a playboy either.

"What are you two talking about me?" Yuxuan appeared at the kitchen door, still wearing his sunny smile. He was more cheerful and energetic than his father, Cheng Zongyi."Saying that you're as handsome as your father," Yiren said without thinking.

"This doesn't sound like something you would say, and it's even less like something my mom would say," Cheng Yuxuan said with a laugh. He knew these two women in the kitchen too well."Yiren is worried that you'll be a playboy in the future," Su Yuncao said. This sentence made three drops of sweat drip down Yiren's forehead! Now it was even harder to explain.

"Do you really think so?" Cheng Yuxuan deliberately walked towards Yiren and asked in an ambiguous tone."It's normal for every girlfriend to worry that her boyfriend will be unfaithful, isn't it?" Seeing that Cheng Yuxuan was deliberately trying to create confusion, Yiren actually changed her original intention and went along with it.

Cheng Yuxuan was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Yiren to cooperate like this! But he quickly took Yiren's hand without showing it.

"Mom, Yiren and I are going upstairs to cultivate our relationship first. Oh, Minze and Cousin Tang Rui will also come tonight. Cousin said she wants to eat the Napoleon cake you made," Cheng Yuxuan said and pulled Yiren out of the kitchen.

Cheng Yuxuan had really saved her from an awkward situation!
