Fatal Attraction: The CEO & His Mischievous Wife

"So where to first?" Xi Long glanced at the woman next to him as they stood in the front of the mall. He had some recipes in mind but wondered if there was something she wanted to eat.

"Why ask me, you brought me here! You should know where to go." Ying Yue snuck a glance at him as she haughtily responded to his question. How was she supposed to lead him around when she herself did not know where to go?! She was too embarrassed to let him know that she had never been to this supermarket despite it being the closest one to her house. The food she ate was usually ordered or she made food at home on the rare occassions she was in the mood. Other times she would just choose to starve, she loved food and was a huge foodie but did not see food as something to be entirely dependent on. An individual who always had three meals a day would suffer if they missed one. However, a person who usually had one meal and sometimes more knows that they can survive on less.

Xi Long took her hand and dragged her towards the shopping carts. Pulling one he placed her in front of him and between the cart before placing his hands on both sides of her. Trapping her within the small confines of his body while having the excuse of pushing the cart he tried his best to hide his happiness and act as though this was normal business. True to his thought Ying Yue wanted to protest but looking into his serious face the words died before they could come out. He was looking at the sections of produce on the hunt for some ingredients and this made her quiet down. Maybe this is how he shops? It was nothing indecent and she had slowly gotten used to his overly touchy ways. As she debated inwardly she felt a dull pressure on her back as his warm c.h.e.s.t slightly pressed her forward. He had spotted his first ingredient and started leading her towards it silently. Following his steps they made their way over to the fresh produce where she saw her worst enemy. Cauliflower.

Eyeing the man next to her she tried to figure out if that was the vegetable he wanted. Seeing him reach for it she grabbed his hand on reflex to stop him from taking it. Putting his hand back on the cart she tried to move away from the offender. "Kitten wait, I need to get some cauliflower." Xi Long was confused why she had stopped his hand, 'maybe she wanted his arms back around her?' If Ying Yue knew that this one action would make him this way she would have exploded from his shamelessness.

Once again he reached for the cauliflower and before he could touch it his hand was once against stopped. Ying Yue had grabbed his hand again and applied more pressure as she pulled it back to the cart handle. "No."

"No?"

"No," she said as nodded her head in agreement.

Looking down at the small female between his arms he tried to look into her eyes as he saw her repeatedly evade him. Her face was facing straight as she refused to even look to the side.

"....Kitten are you afraid of cauliflowers."

"Afraid? Me? No! What kind of nonsense, how could I be afraid of a vegetable!"

"Oh really, then why won't you even look at the vegetable."

"Why do I have to look at the vegetable? So is every vegetable I don't look at something I'm afraid of?! I say you are losing your brain cells, how can someone be afraid of food?! When have you ever met someone like this?!"

"You. Right now."

"....."

"Kitten you're not helping your case. Now be a good girl and let me grab some cauliflower, I need it for the dish. Don't worry I'll definitely chop it all up so it can't even think about hurting you okay."

Ying Yue almost spilt blood as she heard his words. Was she a kid that he was pacifying to be spoken to like this? She just did not like the vegetable that simple. Must this man always tease her so, so annoyingly.

"Listen, we are not including cauliflower and you can make the dish without it. I hate the taste of it and refuse to eat anything with it. Okay."

"Okay." Ying Yue looked up in confusion as she saw him readily agree with her. Looking into his sparkling eyes she realized that she had been tricked into telling him she didn't like it. It was not that it was a secret but she was a grown a.d.u.l.t who hated a vegetable like a kid. She did not want people to see her as childish but no matter how she tried to hide it this insufferable man had just made her confess from her own lips. Irritation bubbled inside her at her naivety and decided that if this was how it was going to be then she will just openly reject everything. 'Let's see how he cooks anything if I say no. Hmph. Hmph."

"Now Kitten, let's go get the rest of the ingredients so we can quickly get everything and go home."

Xi Long then moved himself away from her and speedily started checking and placing some other vegetables into a clear plastic bag. Before she could stop him he was leading her towards another section where she saw him grab some jasmine rice.

Jumping at the chance she quickly rejected the item. "I don't like Jasmine."

"Okay." He put down the jasmine rice and picked up some sticky rice.

"I don't like this rice."

"Okay. " He put it down and picked up basmati rice.

"I don't like this rice."

"Then which rice would you prefer?"

"I don't like rice."

"..."

"Or pasta, or noodles, or sauce, or spices, or water. I don't even like this shopping cart."
