Woman, Are You Playing With Fire!

"Young Master, are you thinking of hiring a teacher because you feel you can't act well?"

"You talk too much. Don't you know you're playing with fire?" Fei Shao glared fiercely at the maid, who had somehow returned without him knowing how.

The little maid just smiled, "Doesn't Young Master know? Expressions and words can deceive, but the tenderness in your eyes cannot."

Even though she smiled with her eyes curved like crescent moons, shining brightly and full of sweetness.

But Fei Shao felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. His heart roared, Tenderness in my eyes? Tenderness, my foot! I want to get back the cold gaze I had after killing fish for ten years at Darunfa!

He feigned a dark expression and warned, "Woman, you are playing with fire!"

However, this time, Jiang Anran suddenly burst into laughter.

Fei Shao's eyes widened, and he looked at her in disbelief.

"Haha, Young Master, you're so cute!" To his surprise, Jiang Anran suddenly giggled.

Cute, my foot!

Be serious!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Look closely, I am a cold and ruthless CEO right now!"

"Hehe... Oh dear, Young Master, I can't stop laughing. Come and eat dinner quickly." She covered her mouth and held her stomach, laughing until she could barely catch her breath. She opened the lunchbox and set out the dinner.

She gently lifted the lid of the lunchbox, and a tempting aroma immediately wafted out, filling the air and making one's mouth water.

Then she placed the dishes on the table one by one, and meticulously took out bowls, chopsticks, spoons, and other tableware, arranging them neatly. Everything was ready, just waiting for the Young Master to dine.

Seeing that she was completely ignoring him, Fei Yangyao became angry and embarrassed. He straightened up and pushed her against the wall a second time, staring intently into her eyes. "Look at my eyes! How dare you ignore me!"

For some reason, Jiang Anran thought of the cute puppies in the little shop before. They would fuss around like this, so adorable that one couldn't help but give them a little kiss.

In the subtle atmosphere, Jiang Anran didn't know what came over her. As if possessed, she unconsciously pouted her cherry-like lips and gently kissed the Young Master's cheek.

Fei Shao's face instantly turned bright red. His body stiffened, and he stared at Jiang Anran with wide eyes.

At this moment, Fei Shao's mind was in chaos.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

Fei Shao was completely flustered by the situation. His mind turned into a muddled mess, and he completely lost the ability to think, falling into a state of confusion and stupefaction.

Does she... does she know what she's doing?

What should I do now? What should I do? What should I do?

Being kissed by a girl for the first time, he didn't know how to respond and was completely stunned.

Jiang Anran's face was no less red, as red as the chili peppers in the lunchbox.

Her mind was in a mess, and her heart was pounding rapidly.

Jiang Anran had no idea what she had just done. She was shocked and confused by her own actions; the gesture had completely exceeded the bounds of her rationality.

She couldn't help but ponder inwardly, trying to find an explanation for herself.

How... how could I have done something like that?

She bit her lip, filled with regret.

Suddenly, a strange thought flashed through her mind.

Could it be that I mistook Young Master for a puppy? That's why I couldn't help but kiss him?

This thought provided a reasonable explanation. After all, Young Master looked so cute, it really made one want to give him a kiss.

Yes, yes, it must be that. After all, I consider my feelings for Young Master to be gratitude and curiosity.

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable this explanation seemed, so she decided to believe it.

The two of them remained frozen in a pose with the man on the outside and the woman on the inside, by the wall, neither speaking. Their eyes occasionally met, only to quickly dart away, as if afraid of being seen through. An awkward atmosphere filled the air, making time itself feel frozen.

"The sky is blue waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you..."

Fortunately, his phone rang at this moment, saving Fei Shao's life. He quickly answered it and used the call as an excuse to sit back on the bed.

It turned out that Uncle Fu had found an acting teacher and was asking when Young Master wanted to schedule the lesson. The teacher said the location and time could be decided by Young Master.

Fei Shao thought: The sooner the better... After all, I originally just wanted to quickly gain some acting skill points.

"Tomorrow morning then. As for the location... okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Fu. You should get some rest too."

Fei Shao finalized the time and location with Uncle Fu, added a few more words of caution about resting, and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, his emotions were still unsettled. He decided to eat something to calm his flustered state.

A faint aroma of food wafted through the air.

Fei Yangyao took a bite. "Mmm, this little cook made it well. It's almost as good as the chef at home, not to mention the cook herself is standing right here in a light yellow dress."

This meal was not only a treat for the taste buds and sense of smell but also a visual feast.

In the original novel, Jiang Anran's role was likely one of Ye Chen's many "wings," specifically the one in charge of cooking. He hadn't expected to taste her cooking before Ye Chen did, and now he was starting to explore her culinary skills.

However, after eating a couple of bites, Fei Shao couldn't stand the strange feeling of eating with someone watching him.

"Ahem, um, Jiang Anran," Fei Shao brought his right fist to his mouth, pretending to cough, as if to ease the atmosphere. "Come and eat with me."

"Young Master, servants aren't allowed to eat at the table."

"Just eat if I tell you to, stop with the nonsense!"

"Alright, Young Master."

"Remember this! Outside, I'm the cruel, decadent noble who bullies servants, and you're the innocent, pitiful little lamb afraid of me. Got it?" Young Master Fei tried to adjust his "supposed" persona.

"Okay, Young Master."

Young Master Fei had already lost confidence in his act in front of Jiang Anran. Since that was the case, he might as well... stop acting!

Be more straightforward, be more natural.

The system had told him to just do his best. Since acting was useless, he didn't need to bother with it, saving himself trouble.

Anyway, after she returned to the Lin Family to be their young lady, they wouldn't have much to do with each other.

According to the plot, when she appeared, he would either be in the hospital or on his way to being hospitalized. It wouldn't be easy to run into her by chance.

Her impression of him in the original novel might not even be mentioned in a single line.

His impact was basically negligible.

As for everyone else, he couldn't slack off.

Although, comparatively, Jiang Anran's intelligence was quite high in the original book. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to live alone without being completely taken advantage of. However, there was no guarantee that others wouldn't see through his act.

It seemed he needed to quickly improve his acting skills.

Especially Gu Xiyue, who had a description of affection towards him.

He absolutely couldn't make any mistakes in this regard.

Hmm, although she seemed a bit strange right now.

But it wasn't like there was no room for improvement.

After all, we've only met twice since transmigrating into the book.

Young Master Fei once again raised the necessity of improving his acting skills in his heart.
