Madam Jiang cast a side glance at her own son like she found him annoying too. "Why do you like whining so much? Are you a two year old kid?"  Jiang Xingyu clutched at his chest in heartbreak. "Fine. I will leave. You two are bullies, humph."  Xia Luna chuckled. She enjoyed bullying him just as much as everyone else did. She hugged Madam Jiang. "Aunty, I'll go and cook for you now."  Madam Jiang didn't want her to tire herself out. But seeing how happy and eager she was, she couldn't bring herself to say no. Besides, she had never had a meal cooked by a daughter. Of course, she didn't have any daugther. Xia Luna was very much like one, so Madam Jiang was eager to have a taste.  As soon as Xia Luna entered the kitchen, she familirized herself with it before taking out the ingredients she needed.  But just as she started preparing them, Jiang Xingyu walked in.  "What do you want?" She snapped at him.  "I'm only here to watch you cook. Is there anything wrong with that?" He leaned against the fridge with a smirk plastered across his face.  Xia Luna was infuriated. "I don't want you to watch." She hissed.  "Oh." He walked towards her, pretending not to see her darkening expression. "Then I'll help you."  "I don't need your help." She narrowed her gaze like she could beat him up.  "Honey, let me help you." He insisted and took the knife from her hand.  "Jiang Xingyu!" Xia Luna's lungs almost exploded from fury. Couldn't this guy just stop being irritating for once? Hmph, she knew who he was afraid of. She glared at him and left the kitchen.  "Aunty, Xingyu just won't stop bothering me." She told him off mercilessly.  "Really? You actually ran to tell mommy? What are you, a three year old girl?" Jiang Xingyu mocked as he followed her out to defend himself. "I'm only trying to help her out but she doesn't appreciate my help."  Madam Jiang looked at both of them and laughed heartily. They were just too cute. They would make the perfect couple. "Luna, let him help you. You might need help and you can make him do the boring tasks like chopping vegetables. Make sure you  bully him while at it."  Xia Luna frowned quizzically. Her words made it sound like Jiang Xingyu would be on the losing side but whose side was she on exactly?  Madam Jiang looked innocent like she was actually siding with her.  Of course, Madam Jiang was on Xia Luna's side. It was just that if she let Jiang Xingyu bother her right now, they might get closer. What she wanted in the end was to make Xia Luna her daughter-in-law anyway.  Xia Luna huffed in defeat and returned to the kitchen. Behind her, Jiang Xingyu happily blew a thankful kiss at his mother, who wordlessly warned him not to go overboard. He raised a thumb in response and followed Luna back into the kitchen.  He grabbed an apron from the hook and dr.a.p.ed it over himself then positioned himself next to her. "What should I do?"  Xia Luna cast him a glance and ignored him, continuing to do her work.  Seeing that she was ignoring him, he laughed. She was just too cute. "Do you realize that our aprons are similar? It's like wearing a couples outfit with you."  "That's because they are identical, you dummy." Xia Luna didn't know what to do with him.  He laughed after successfully making her talk. "So you really are ignoring me on purpose. Come on, give me some work to do."  "I'm warning you. If you bother me, I will stick this into your guts." She threatened, pointing the edge of the vegetable knife at his stomach.  "You don't play with such tools, honey." He grabbed her hand and pulled it further away from him.  "Hmph." She resumed chopping the radish.  "Give me a task, come on." Jiang Xingyu whined.  She took a deep breath then pointed at the jars on a shelf. "Bring out the second jar and open it for me. Quick." "Okay." Jiang Xingyu happily grabbed the jar from the shelf and opened it at the same time that he placed it on the kitchen counter. Because he had been too careless, the content splashed in his face.  Xia Luna averted her gaze and giggled.  "You asked me to open a jar of floor and didn't mention what was inside? You pranked me." He complained with his whitened face, hair and chest.  "You should check the label first. Don't you know that?" She was laughing too hard to think of helping him dust it off. She even took out her phone from her pocket and took a photo of him, laughing at his silly look. "What? Your dye is awesome. Don't take it off yet." Jiang Xingyu helplessly swatted the floor off him. Such a heartless woman. Was he a masochist for loving her?  When he was done, he went back to her side. She had had enough fun laughing at his expense and was now back to chopping vegetables  Only then was he able to see the speed at which she was chopping vegetables. "Are you even human? How can you do it so fast?"  He picked up a slice of onion. It was so thin too.  Thinking of something, he took another knife, grabbed an onion and started chopping it. "I can do it too. See?"  She didn't spare him a glance.  "Don't ignore me. Lo… ah!"  Xia Luna shot a look at his scrunched up face then followed his gaze down to his finger. Blood was seeping out of a small cut.  In shock, she rushed to him and grabbed his hand, putting his finger in her mouth. It was only a while later that she remembered to take an ice cube from the fridge. After taking it, she rushed back and grabbed his hand, pressing the ice cube on the cut. When he hissed, she glared at him. "Bear with it. How could you be so careless? Are you a little child? Look, now you've cut yourself. I really don't know what to do with you."  He smiled, earning another glare from her as she rubbed the ice cube against his finger. "What are you smiling for? Don't go playing with knives if you can't use them!"  Jiang Xingyu's smile widened even more, revealing his snow-white teeth. Before this, he had never been so happy about being cut.
