“By the way, you’ve known each other, right?” Anna asked as she looked at Wayne and then at Scott. “Do you want me to introduce you to each other again?”
“No, thanks,” Wayne said with a hint of jealousy in his tone while looking at Scott with a meaningful look. “Your future boyfriend has introduced himself to me just now.”
Anna was stunned. She turned around, glared at Scott, and asked, “What did you say to him? Don’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Frowning, Scott was dissatisfied when hearing her words but only dared to mutter under his breath, “It was not nonsense. I was telling the truth.”
“This is my younger brother,” Anna explained to Wayne, “He is a violinist. But now he is jobless.”
“So you have to support him now,” Wayne said and cast a scornful glance at Scott.
“I don’t need Anna to support me. I just live here temporarily, and I will get a job soon,” Scott retorted and glared back.
“I hope so,” Anna glanced at him and said helplessly. “I’m going to the kitchen to prepare lunch. You guys feel free to talk.”
When Scott was about to explain that he was not penniless and could earn his living, Wayne had gone into the kitchen with the food bags on the ground.
“What are you doing?” Anna caught up with him. “I’ll help you with cooking,” Wayne said naturally. Then the two of them entered the kitchen one after the other.
Scott stood there in a daze for a few seconds before he came to himself. Then he frowned and walked quickly toward the kitchen too. “I’ll help you too.”
“The kitchen is not big enough. You don’t have to help me here. Go play with Tammy,” Anna said and then closed the glass door of the kitchen.
Scott was a little annoyed. “Don’t always treat me as a child.”
After he knocked at the door for a long time, Anna finally opened the door and stuffed a bag of bean sprouts into his arms. “Okay. Then as an adult, you may help me trim them.”
After saying that, she closed the door again.
“What?” Scott was looked at the whole bag of bean sprouts in his arms, helpless and speechless. He meant that he wanted Anna to treat him as her boyfriend rather than her younger brother. However, Anna misunderstood what he meant.
Then he glanced at Wayne and thought, That guy inust be laughing at me in his heart!
When Wayne, who was washing tomatoes by the sink, saw Anna close the door of the kitchen, he was in a better mood and the displeasure caused by Scott before disappeared all of a sudden. Even he himself was surprised by such a change in his emotions.
“Let me do it myself. You are my guest today. You may go out to have a rest in the living room,” Anna said in embarrassment when seeing Wayne wash the tomatoes.

Wayne put two washed tomatoes on the cutting board and said leisurely. “It’s okay. I’d like to help you.”
“Well, thank you.” Anna didn’t say anything more. After cutting up the vegetables, Wayne didn’t go out but still stayed in the kitchen.
Anna was confused and asked, “Why don’t you go out? When I cook, there will be a lot of fumes.”
“Didn’t you say that you would teach me how to cook?” “You mean you want me to teach you now?” Anna asked in surprise.
I offered to teach him how to cook when I lived in Kingsford Neighborhood, but at that time he didn‘t seem to be interested in it at all. Why does he suddenly want to learn to cook today?
“Yes,” Wayne said.
Hearing the answer, Anna was stunned for a moment and then said, “Okay. Let me show you how to cook braised chicken wings first.” – She picked up the glass food container with chicken wings and showed it to Wayne. Then she said, “We should deal with the chicken wings before cooking. Look at this. I’ve dealt with them before. Let me introduce the process briefly. I blanched the chicken wings first and then mixed them with soy sauce, sliced gingers, and starches. After that, I covered the food container with plastic wrap and stored them in the fridge for about an hour. And now I’ll begin to cook.”
“Got it.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“To cook braised chicken wings, we should put some oil in the pot. When the oil is hot, put chopped scallions, sliced gingers, and garlic into the pot and fried them for a few seconds,” Anna said.
As soon as she finished speaking, she put the chopped scallions, sliced gingers, and garlic into the pot. Then a sizzling sound came from the pot
To avoid the splashed oil, Anna subconsciously took a step back and her back happened to hit Wayne’s chest.
“Sorry,” she turned around and said in a hurry. Unexpectedly, her feet slipped and she lost her balance.
Wayne quickiy held her waist with one hand to stop her from falling. Then he asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
“…. I’m okay,” Anna stammered and swallowed. At the same time, her heart was beating faster,
With her waist being held by Wayne, she looked up at his handsome face and was fascinated by him. The two of them were so close that she could smell the faint smell of cologne on his body.
Suddenly, the door of the kitchen was opened. “What are you doing?” Scott exclaimed.
Hearing that, Anna immediately pushed Wayne away in fluster. However, the next second, she slipped and lost her balance again. When she was about to fall, Wayne leaned over and held her waist more tightly.
Seeing this, Scott was boiling with anger. He shouted at Wayne, “Hey, let go of Anna. Don’t

Chapter 67 You Were Taking… touch her!”
Wayne helped Anna stand steadily and released his hand calmly. Then he turned around, glanced at Scott, and said lightly, “Now you know what we were doing just now?”
“You… you were taking advantage of her,” Scott said angrily.
“Scott, shut up,” Anna glared at Scott with a red face. “I almost fell just now because of you screaming.”
With an aggrieved look, Scott opened and shut his mouth. Then he said to her while staring at Wayne, “I want to learn to cook too.”
“Oh come on! When you get a new job in your new company, you will be very busy and won’t have time to cook.”
“He is also busy. Isn’t he the CEO of your company? Does he have time to cook? Besides, a CEO like him doesn’t need to cook in person at all,” Scott said and still stared at Wayne with hostility.
How could a CEO of a big company specially come to his subordinate‘s home to learn to cook? Humph. Men know men best. Don‘t think I don‘t know what‘s on your mind
“It was Anna who offered to teach me to cook,” Wayne glanced at him and said casually. Anna couldn’t help shivering slightly when she heard Wayne’s words. Why did Wayne say that in such a natural way as if we are very intimate? Scott ignored Wayne’s words and insisted on staying in the kitchen and learning to cook. It was almost lunchtime. To finish cooking as soon as possible, Anna had to let him stay.
Then Wayne and Scott stood on both sides of Anna respectively and watched her cooking.
“I’ll put the chicken wings into the pot and the oil will splash. You two step back and stay away from the pot,” Anna said.
As soon as she put the chicken wings into the pot, the oil splashed in all directions in an instant, making a sizzling sound.
“Watch out!” Scott exclaimed, immediately pulling Anna in his arms and turning his back to the pot to protect her.
Wayne wanted to pull Anna to his side too. Unfortunately, he was late. When he reached out, Anna had been pulled into Scott’s arms.
“Scott, what are you doing?” Anna said angrily and pushed Scott away. “Are you acting in a TV play? It is just oil, not a bomb. Why did you overreact like that? Well, you two go out now and leave me alone.”
