We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 187

Christy Zhong turned to look at James Feng who sat in the passenger’s seat several times along the way. She wanted to ask him but had no idea how to begin. So she drove quietly.

They arrived home at just the right time. Then a nanny opened the door for them, but she didn’t ask them whether they had dinner or not.

Christy said in a gentle voice to James, “I’ll cook noddles for you right now. Do you want to have soup noddles with seafood?”

Though they rarely cooked at home, Christy knew that he loved seafood. So there were always all kinds of seafood in the freezer. Besides, she was good at cooking noddles.

James nodded and said okay. Then he walked upstairs. He didn’t want to waste too much time on such small things. What’s more, Christy was his private secretary. It’s her job to prepare everything for him.

Seeing he nodded, Christy strode to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took some shrimps and clams out. And then she began to cook.

But when she was washing them, she heard footsteps outside the kitchen. Then James’ husky voice called out, “Wash your hands and face before you cook!”

Christy felt very embarrassed. How could she forget that James had mysophobia? She must be extra careful about personal hygiene.

She replied immediately, “Okay. I’ll wash my hands again as well as my face.” And Christy realized that she’d better change into new and clean clothes after that.

Now that he had mysophobia, Christy decided to do as he told.

She put the shrimps and clams aside, washed her hands and then walked downstairs. Now she was wearing a special suit. It’s uncomfortable to cook in that.

She went back to her bedroom and sorted out James’ clothes quickly. Then she changed her clothes and told him, “You can wait for me here. I’ll proffer the bowl of noddles to you soon.”

“Take it to the study,” said James flatly.

“Okay,” answered Christy. Of course, she would do as he said to her.

Soon she knocked down the meal. Christy decided to bring it to him and then go downstairs to finish her meal. If they ate facing each other, she would feel very uncomfortable.

And there’s another important reason. Now he wasn’t in a good mood. So Christy didn't want to be with him. She needed to give him enough space and that’s good for both of them.

But when Christy took the bowl of noodles to him, James glanced at the noodles and then cast an eye on her. He said coldly, “You are not hungry?”

Christy felt great joy in hearing his words. He was showing concern to her, right? He was tall and aloof. And he had a unique way of working and speaking. Though he looked cold, Christy liked his voice, which was husky and pleasant.

There were many men in the world who had such a husky voice. However, rarely did someone have such a pleasant voice. That’s also an important reason why he attracted her so much.

Christy tried to hide her happiness and the warm feeling and said in a low voice, “My meal is in the kitchen. I’ll eat downstairs. Later I’ll come here and collect the bowl.”

She said it properly. However, James suddenly observed, “Eat with me here.”
