Calm before Storm

As Lui Feng drove home that night his emotions were a mess, making him leak a dangerous aura. Anyone who saw him at that point in time would realize that all they needed to do was make one mistake to make him flare up

He walked into the mansion his face gloomy and he noticed that all his workers seemed suspiciously nervous and silently chanting their prayers. This was because they knew that if the Madam wasn't able to pacify their master they'd all be done for, they might as well start digging their graves.

A few hours earlier when Ying Yue had decided to make dinner she declined all the maids and the chefs' help. The maids begged her to let them assist her but she didn't budge, they were terrified of the punishment they would get once their master found out.

After a lot of seemingly overdramatic pleads, Ying Yue promised to make sure their master didn't lay a finger on them. Although they didn't believe she could do it, they knew their master had a soft spot for this lady. Maybe she would actually be able to do it, they just sighed and left resigning to fate.

Ying Yue had spent hours in the kitchen making different kinds of foods, from the main course to dessert. She immediately became immersed in the fun she was having to make meals for someone.

When she was done she became unsure about whether they would be able to eat all of it, she had made so much all because she didn't know which one he'd like. Well, they had a lot of people in the mansion, nothing could ever go to waste since someone could eat the rest.

Afterwards, she arranged a candlelight dinner and went to go get freshened up. She wore an off-shoulder mini dress, it was light blue with crystals that made a flower pattern, she looked in the mirror and seemed satisfied then she skipped happily to the table.

When she was done getting ready she sat at the table waiting patiently for Lui Feng, a little while later she realized she hadn't put the flowers in the vase at the table. She then left the room to go get a bouquet from the room opposite the one they were going to have dinner in.

Lui Feng walked dejectedly into the room, when he noticed all the decorations and the dinner he was awestruck. He walked towards the table and warmth filled his heart, no one had ever done this for him not even Li Jing, while he was mesmerized by everything around him staring at it like a little kid who had just been offered his favorite candy.

Ying Yue walked in holding the bouquet for the vase and in that moment she looked like a goddess that came down from heaven. Lui Feng stared at her like he'd been put under a spell.

The next moment he was immediately at her side and gave her a hug. They just stood there in each other's embrace, after a while he finally let go, his anxiety and fear had disappeared into thin air.

They went to the table to enjoy the meal, she waited for him to start eating and when Feng took a bite Ying immediately followed and started eating.

Lui Feng seemed to like it which made her happy inside but at the point when she was completely distracted by the food, his eyes were fixed on her, she was eating happily and a smile gracing her beautiful face every time she took a bite.

His mood had changed drastically and his gaze softened when he realized the hard work she put in to surprise him.

Then it struck him so that was the reason all the house workers were scared, they had let his guest do it all on her own. He was happy she made it all by herself for him but it would still be fun punishing them, it'd be a light punishment so they wouldn't think they could indulge her every time.

A few moments later Lui Feng grabbed the fork from her and she stared at him like he had stolen something dear to her. His gaze darkened and he pulled her chair towards him. He began feeding her, at first she refused but seeing that Lui Feng didn't back down she finally agreed and his heart skipped with joy.

He stared at her as she ate happily, he couldn't understand why he was enjoying doing such menial tasks, but he was happy. Deep down he knew this was just calm before a storm but he was going to enjoy every bit of it.

Ying Yue watched Lui Feng's expression as he was feeding her, he was humming and he put on his breathtaking smile, she was mesmerized, she became full a while ago but she kept eating. When couldn't take it anymore, she signaled for him to stop. He stopped immediately smiled at her and signaled for her to feed him.

"W- what?" She asked in shock and he gave her the fork. She just sighed and fed him but surprisingly she enjoyed it, she took this as the chance to tell him about wanting to go back and continue her work.

"Lui Feng I'm going back, I have to run my restaurant", she said not giving him room to speak, he just nodded stopped eating, and left the table, Ying Yue sighed inwardly.

Lui Feng walked to the terrace, he wanted to spend all the time he could with her but she had her own life, he'd take this as the chance to go back to running his business empire and help her to grow hers.

He should probably just focus on helping her for now until he gets the chance to spend time with her again. He also had a lot of unfinished business he'd been avoiding.

It was funny how he became around her, he never avoided work but with her around he just felt like having her to him all day, he pinched his brows she had more effect on him than Li Jing.

Ying Yue had thought he was mad at her decision but she was firm with her choice, she wanted to match up to him and be able to fulfill her promise to take care of him. How would she be able to do that when he was the one taking care of her?

She needed to grow and gain more power and respect so that even though she wasn't able to match up to him, she at least be able to stand by his side. She didn't realize when he started becoming someone dear to her, she sighed inwardly. It was only a matter of time.

Unknown to the two, throughout the day they had been monitored by an unknown personality and he had been contacting someone to tell them their every move.

"Ma'am, she's leaving the house this is your chance", said a man in a dark cloak standing in front of the mansion, and none of the guards could see him or even notice his strange scent.

"I hope you weren't noticed, good job", and then she hung up and a smile adorned her lips, this task was too easy...
