Chapter 33: Too Short
Just as Lan Ruoxin was still rambling on and on, Mo Xunhuan suddenly tilted his head back and kissed her.
Instantly, the room fell silent. Lan Ruoxin stared wide-eyed at Mo Xunhuan, not expecting it to happen so suddenly.
But by the time she came to her senses and wanted to respond, it was already over.
"I'm really sorry about what happened that day. Although it was just a momentary impulse, I was genuinely happy at the time because you were someone who liked me. But I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble. I'm really sorry," Mo Xunhuan said apologetically.
"Ah? No...no, there's nothing bothering me. I...I'm very happy. Before, I thought you didn't have feelings for me. I was really happy then, really!" Lan Ruoxin hurriedly explained.
"That's good. My worries might have put pressure on you!" Mo Xunhuan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, raising her hand to gently pat the back of her head, urging her on.
"Get up. I've been in the office for too long. It's time to go out, or they'll start gossiping again."
"Oh!" Lan Ruoxin quickly got off him and watched Mo Xunhuan get up and straighten his clothes, her mind filled with the kiss from earlier.
How should I put it? It was a bit...too fast. I didn't even have time to react, and I hadn't even tasted it yet!
"Okay, now that I've cleaned all this up, time to wash the dishes...wait, what?"
Just as Mo Xunhuan reached for the bowl, Lan Ruoxin suddenly grabbed his wrist and threw him onto the sofa.
Before he could react and question her, Lan Ruoxin leaned down and lay on top of him, her fiery eyes staring straight at him.
"Are you thinking about it again? But didn't you just..." From the other person's eyes, Mo Xunhuan sensed her thoughts and quickly covered her mouth.
Lan Ruoxin forcefully pressed his hands above his head, her voice burning with passion as she said, "Yes, but that's not enough. It was over before I even got a chance to taste it. Remember that first time? It lasted three minutes! This time, you have to break that record!"
"No……"
Before Mo Xunhuan could refuse, the other person leaned down and sealed his lips with a kiss, completely immersed in the incredibly passionate kiss.

After lunch, Su Xue found Mo Xunhuan, who was preparing dishes for the afternoon, saying that she needed to go out to buy ingredients for Christmas.
"The ingredients we need for Christmas! Haven't we already bought them online?" Mo Xunhuan asked, puzzled.
"I usually buy meat and potatoes online that keep well, but fresh ingredients like vegetables and seasonings still need to be bought in person at the store," Su Xue explained.
So, Mo Xunhuan and Su Xue left the kindergarten in her car and headed to the mall.
Along the way, Mo Xunhuan opened the window and looked at the scenery outside.
Although it was cold outside, the car was very warm with the air conditioning on.
The atmosphere inside the car was relatively quiet. Although Su Xue, who was driving, tried to keep the conversation going, her topics were rather uninteresting, and she was clearly not good at picking up rich guys.
"Thank you for today... the jajangmyeon you made was delicious."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure to receive your recognition, as a master chef."
Mo Xunhuan leaned against the window, yawning, looking quite lazy.
Su Xue glanced at him; his languid demeanor was like that of a noble cat, making one want to hold him in one's arms and play with him, yet also afraid of provoking him to hiss or being scratched.
"What you're saying doesn't mean much, after all, this isn't some kind of food show. But I'm curious, what's the principal's opinion?"
"She really liked it; she finished the whole bowl of noodles with soybean paste."
"Oh, so she really likes noodles."
Mo Xunhuan shook his head. "No, she's very disciplined now. I rarely see her eating noodles, but that's because I made them."
"You did this?" Su Xue was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but think of herself, suddenly feeling a strange rivalry with the principal.
But upon closer reflection, Mo Xunhuan is already married, so if we're talking about a rival in love, it should be his wife.
"If we're talking about self-discipline, there's really no need to be so particular about what you eat. For example, I eat whatever I want, and at worst, I just exercise more and run more," Su Xue said casually.
"Oh?" Mo Xunhuan turned to look at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe. His gaze also alerted Su Xue, who straightened her back and raised her head, intentionally showing off her figure.
"Indeed, most chefs are quite chubby. Apart from your slightly thick arms, you're fine."
"Of course, as a former Michelin three-star chef, it's not enough to just have good cooking skills; you also have to pay attention to your image," Su Xue said proudly.
While she might only be considered an A-level beauty elsewhere, in the culinary world, she's S-level, since there aren't many beautiful female chefs.
"By the way, you spent a long time in the principal's office today, 20 minutes longer than usual. What happened?" Su Xue suddenly asked.
"Ah, how did you know that?" Mo Xunhuan asked in surprise.
"Uh... I don't usually have anything to do, so I keep track of the time. But don't get me wrong, I'm not deliberately spying on you, I'm just worried that the principal might... "
Seeing Su Xue's nervous expression, Mo Xunhuan understood what she meant, and patted her thigh with a smile, "You're really overthinking it. He and I were high school classmates, even in the same class. There's no way she would do that kind of thing to me."
"Why not? Don't even mention classmates, these days even things like female best friends are dangerous. Women are animals controlled by their lower bodies, once the thought comes up, they can't suppress it. You have to be vigilant at all times!" Su Xue reminded her seriously.
"Alright, alright, thank you for the reminder, Sister Xue. I will be vigilant, and you will be the first one I'm wary of!" As she spoke, Mo Xunhuan suddenly changed the subject and poked Su Xue's pretty face with her hand.
Su Xue: Eh ꒰๑•⌓︎•๑꒱ᵎᵎᵎ
Upon arriving at the mall, the two went straight to the vegetable section and began selecting the vegetables they needed.
When Mo Xunhuan saw the vegetable prices, he was immediately shocked. Vegetables that usually cost more than three yuan per kilogram were now more than five yuan.
Firstly, large shopping malls are inherently expensive, and secondly, vegetables are more expensive during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day holidays.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, the prices of many staple foods for the holiday skyrocket. For example, garlic sprouts, which usually cost three or four yuan per pound, rose to six or seven yuan last year, and supermarkets even ran out of stock.
"By the way, your family is also celebrating Christmas Eve, right? Have you prepared the ingredients?" Su Xue, who was picking out vegetables, turned her head to look at Mo Xunhuan.
Mo Xunhuan shook his head. "Not yet. I plan to buy it online when I get back, and it will be delivered to the express delivery supermarket in the neighborhood tomorrow."
