We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 187

Christy Zhong turned to look at James Feng who sat in the passenger’s seat several times along the way. She wanted to ask him but had no idea how to begin. So she drove quietly.

They arrived home at just the right time. Then a nanny opened the door for them, but she didn’t ask them whether they had dinner or not.

Christy said in a gentle voice to James, “I’ll cook noddles for you right now. Do you want to have soup noddles with seafood?”

Though they rarely cooked at home, Christy knew that he loved seafood. So there were always all kinds of seafood in the freezer. Besides, she was good at cooking noddles.

James nodded and said okay. Then he walked upstairs. He didn’t want to waste too much time on such small things. What’s more, Christy was his private secretary. It’s her job to prepare everything for him.

Seeing he nodded, Christy strode to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took some shrimps and clams out. And then she began to cook.

But when she was washing them, she heard footsteps outside the kitchen. Then James’ husky voice called out, “Wash your hands and face before you cook!”

Christy felt very embarrassed. How could she forget that James had mysophobia? She must be extra careful about personal hygiene.

She replied immediately, “Okay. I’ll wash my hands again as well as my face.” And Christy realized that she’d better change into new and clean clothes after that.

Now that he had mysophobia, Christy decided to do as he told.

She put the shrimps and clams aside, washed her hands and then walked downstairs. Now she was wearing a special suit. It’s uncomfortable to cook in that.

She went back to her bedroom and sorted out James’ clothes quickly. Then she changed her clothes and told him, “You can wait for me here. I’ll proffer the bowl of noddles to you soon.”

“Take it to the study,” said James flatly.

“Okay,” answered Christy. Of course, she would do as he said to her.

Soon she knocked down the meal. Christy decided to bring it to him and then go downstairs to finish her meal. If they ate facing each other, she would feel very uncomfortable.

And there’s another important reason. Now he wasn’t in a good mood. So Christy didn't want to be with him. She needed to give him enough space and that’s good for both of them.

But when Christy took the bowl of noodles to him, James glanced at the noodles and then cast an eye on her. He said coldly, “You are not hungry?”

Christy felt great joy in hearing his words. He was showing concern to her, right? He was tall and aloof. And he had a unique way of working and speaking. Though he looked cold, Christy liked his voice, which was husky and pleasant.

There were many men in the world who had such a husky voice. However, rarely did someone have such a pleasant voice. That’s also an important reason why he attracted her so much.

Christy tried to hide her happiness and the warm feeling and said in a low voice, “My meal is in the kitchen. I’ll eat downstairs. Later I’ll come here and collect the bowl.”

She said it properly. However, James suddenly observed, “Eat with me here.”

What? Christy was a little confused. But she had no choice but to answered him immediately, “Okay! I’ll be right here.”

Christy went downstairs and then took her meal to the study. She sat opposite James and looked at her with embarrassment, “How do you like?”

James was browsing his computer. He said coldly, “Not bad.”

Christy rejoiced when hearing his words. He had tasted it! Anyway, he didn’t criticize her cooking. “That’s good.”

Actually, it didn't matter whether it tasted good or bad. What was important was that he could eat that.

“You should improve your cooking skills.” James put his computer away. He put the bowl of noodles in front of him and concentrate on his eating.

It turned out that he began to eat the noodles after he handled some e-mails.

But Christy felt displeased. Why couldn’t he let her know exactly whether he liked it? He first told her it’s not bad. Then he asked her to improve her cooking skills. So did he like it or dislike it? Christy was nervous and dissatisfied. But she could show her feelings.

She apologized sincerely, “Sorry. President Feng. The food is not tasty to you, right? You can give me some advice and I’ll definitely improve my cooking.”

Anyway, she must have the right attitude. So he wouldn’t be angry with her.

However, James didn’t say a single word. He finished the noddles very quickly.

How strange he was! On the one hand, he said it’s not tasty; on the other hand, he ate it up so quickly.

“President Feng. Have you had enough?” Christy was stunned. Why did he look so hungry? They had lunch this noon. Though he seemed to eat less at the dinner, that’s too much.

James stared at her. “I’m famished.” He was trying to say that he could eat more.

So he did eat less at dinner this noon. And she remembered that he didn’t enjoy occasions like that. Some people made him very unpleasant. That’s why he didn’t eat much.

Though the noodles were not that delicious, the taste was very unique. In fact. James liked it. As for why he told her to improve her cooking skills, James was just being afraid that she would like before.

“Did you add sugar in the soup?” James finished the soup.

It was Christy’s mother who taught her to cook noodles. She did add some sugar and rice vinegar.

“Just a little. If you don’t like the taste, I won’t add them next time. And I also add other spices.” Christy was nervous. James had good palate, so his taste was unusually keen. Was he being unhappy about it? But he had finished a bowl of noodles!

Christy was uneasy. James observed it and looked at her, speechless. He thought, ‘Does she have mental problems? It’s so obvious whether he liked it. What does she worry about?’

Of course, he couldn’t understand a woman with a strong sense of inferiority.
