Chapter 64 Indirect Kissing
"Oh my god." Marta squealed when she saw interlocked hands of Nian Tian and Mu Yuehan. "Tell me, I am not dreaming. Did you finally agree to be his girl?"
Mu Yuehan chuckled. He teasing narrated how Nian Tian kissed him last night and agreed to be his girl.
"I am so happy for both of you." She placed her hands on her cheeks and smiled brightly.
Mu Yuehan took Nian Tian to her office. He helped her in solving her doubts and then taught her a new topic.
"You solve the questions. I will go and take control of the kitchen."
"Don't you have some other work?" she took a hold of his hand and looked at him with concern.
"I don't have much work. I am kind of holidaying here with my boss."
"Besides," he leaned toward her, a teasing smile was adorning his lips. "A wife can help her husband; can't a husband help his wife?"
Nian Tian looked at him with wide eyes. This shameless man!
Till now, he was after her to become her boyfriend, and now, when she agreed to be his girl, he promoted himself as her husband!
"Be good, focus on the questions." He patted her head and left the room, to the kitchen.
Marta had already prepared the ingredients for him. "You know, many customers like your food. Though, it doesn't taste like Nian Tian's."
"I know that." He chuckled and started to work on the preparation of some of the basic dishes.
"I am here." He groaned when he heard the voice of Marry. "I am here to help you. Mom told me how Nian Tian is busy."
Marry grinned and walked toward him, in an attempt to use this chance to get close to him. She had adjusted her time at the hotel accordingly.
"I am sorry to inform you Marry, but I don't like anyone in the kitchen when I cook." He gave her a pointed look. "So, can you please leave? I will be thankful to you."
She pouted and looked at him. "Let me help. I will not be a problem for you."
"I know myself and I know, you will be a mental trouble, so please leave." He raised his voice and pointed toward the door.
Marry suggested that Mu Yuehan could rest while she cooked but Mu Yuehan rejected her suggestion without thinking twice, "I want to handle the kitchen. If you want to help then help your mother in mopping the restaurant."
She shrugged her shoulders and walked toward Marta. Half heartily, she started to help her, knowing well that Mu Yuehan was looking at her from the window.
"Do you know, Nian Tian said yes to him?" Marta gushed excitedly. Marry's eyes widened with surprise. She grumbled bitch under her breath.
"Why does she get everything good?" she groaned.
"Marry." Marta scolded her. "She is so good to you, to me. Why don't you accept her presence? Stay with her, and learn something from her. I am sure, you will also get a man like Zhan Wei. Take your dressing sense as an example. I never like what you wear."
Marta grumbled and let Marry alone with her thoughts. She thought for some time and a plan formed in her mind and soon, a smile appeared on her lips.
'If we cannot defeat a person with our enmity, then why don't try friendship?'

"Are you done with the questions?" Mu Yuehan leaned against the chair of Nian Tian and whispered in her ears. She felt tingles all over her body.
"I am done with them." She rotated her chair to come face to face with him.
"Good, now come with me. I have cooked your favourite to celebrate our first day." He took her hand and pulled her out of the office.
She blushed when she saw many customers, looking in their direction and their hands with knowing smiles.
He made her sit in the booth where he usually sat and uncovered the dish. Her eyes brightened with surprise and she squealed, "Lasagne, who told you it's my favourite?"
"Who else?" he shrugged and looked at Marta.
Nian Tian smiled. She was about to take a bite of her favourite when Mu Yuehan stopped her, "Let me."
He picked up a spoon and filled it with lasagne, and forwarded the spoon toward her mouth. She smiled at his gesture and took the spoon into her mouth, with a smile on her lips.
She blushed profoundly when Mu Yuehan tasted the food from the same spoon which she used.
Was he not indirectly kissing her? She thought.
His thoughts were mirroring her.
Marry looked at the scene from afar and burnt with envy. She wanted Mu Yuehan to be hers, to care for her, to look at her with love-filled eyes. She wanted his eyes to be on her not on Nian Tian.
"Go and ask for forgiveness from her." Marta nudged her daughter once Mu Yuehan and Nian Tian were done with their lunch.
Marry nodded her head and faked a reluctant expression. She then walked toward Nian Tian and took her seat where Mu Yuehan was seated originally.
"Nian Tian, mom wants me to truce with you and I am ready for that."
Nian Tian raised her brows in amusement and surprise, not able to believe what she was hearing from Marry because it was not the first time when Marta asked her to truce with her.
"I was thinking for a long time, and I think, it's crazy of me to harbour hate towards you when it's clear that you helped us. If not for you, this restaurant would have been closed a long time back."
Marry sighed. "I know, you don't believe me." She raised her hands in surrender. "Just give me a try. Okay. Let us be friends." She forwarded her hand. Nian Tian looked at her with vary.
"I will think if I want to have you as my friend or not. Who knows what is running in this brain of yours? My experience taught me not to trust anyone."
From her past, Nian Tian knew no one was good to her without any motto. Her cousin Qin Yutong always buttered her whenever she wanted to get her assignments done. Her uncle became the uncle of the year whenever he wanted Qin Tian to crack a deal.
She stood up from her seat and nodded at Marry. Marry also stood up. At the same time, Mu Yuehan also came toward their booth.
Marry sneakily looked at him and wickedness appeared in her heart.
She walked toward him and knowingly twisted her feet, so she could fall and Mu Yuehan could hold her in his arms.
