The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 146 - 0: Life is Like a Play

This was the first time Cheng Yuan had seen Shen Manwen in her home clothes, and he couldn’t help but be dazzled, almost drooling with desire.

"The County Chief, no, she’s becoming more and more charming!"

He really wanted to possess her!

Cheng Yuan pulled Xue Yang, who was in a daze, and greeted respectfully, "Congratulations, County Chief."

Xue Yang seemed like he was sleepwalking, stuttering as he spoke.

"County, County Chief, I, I didn’t know I was coming to your house, I, I should have prepared a gift..."

Seeing Xue Yang’s nervousness, the corners of Shen Manwen’s lips turned up slightly.

"You are the heroes, I should be the one preparing gifts for you, don’t be reserved, make yourself at home, feel free to sit."

"Ah, okay, sure."

Xue Yang was utterly bewildered, sitting on the sofa with proper decorum.

He only occupied one-third of the cushion, ready to stand at any moment.

Cheng Yuan certainly didn’t want to sit like that. How awkward and uncomfortable that would be?

Cheng Yuan’s eyes darted around, then he volunteered, "County Chief, let me cook a couple of dishes! My cooking skills are quite decent."

Shen Manwen looked at him with interest.

"Oh? You can cook?"

"Yes, having worked in Lingshan for five or six years alone, I couldn’t always deprive myself. Over time, I’ve gotten quite good at a few things."

"If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll have you eat it all."

Cheng Yuan flashed a grin, "I’m just afraid there won’t be any left for me."

"Quite confident, are we? Then go on, try it. I want to see how good you really are."

Cheng Yuan had offered to cook not just to avoid awkwardness, but also with the intent to capture Shen Manwen’s stomach.

If Shen Manwen fell in love with his cooking, he could come over often to cook for her.

Over time, wouldn’t that cultivate feelings?

Plus with a little wine, wouldn’t everything fall into place?

Cheng Yuan, full of motivation, hurried into the kitchen, saying, "Director Liu, could you please lend me a hand? I’m going to whip up some small dishes."

"Sure, my cooking skills are just average, and I was worried!"

Liu Xi readily yielded the position of head chef to Cheng Yuan.

After exchanging a few polite words with Xue Yang, who was excessively nervous, Shen Manwen lost interest in continuing the conversation.

She pointed toward the kitchen and said softly, "Xue Yang, there are fruits and tea here, help yourself. I’ll go see how they are doing with the cooking."

Shen Manwen, swaying her slender waist, walked leisurely to the threshold of the kitchen, leaning against the doorframe, and watched Cheng Yuan cook with great interest.

Cheng Yuan was thrilled!

This scene was just like a well-behaved little wife quietly watching her husband cook.

The only pity was that Liu Xi and Xue Yang were like two bright lightbulbs!

Cheng Yuan turned and asked seriously, "County Chief, do you prefer stronger flavors or lighter ones? Can you eat spicy food?"

"I can eat both southern and northern cuisines, just cook normally."

"Alright, I got it."

Cheng Yuan started showing off his skills, the spatula soaring.

Wafts of exotic fragrance drifted over, and Shen Manwen couldn’t resist stepping forward, took a deep breath, and exclaimed by Cheng Yuan’s ear, "Cheng Yuan, you weren’t boasting after all, your cooking skills are impressive."

Heaven and earth as witness, Shen Manwen had absolutely no intention of seducing Cheng Yuan, but now she was too close to him. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The warm breath from her mouth blew right onto Cheng Yuan’s ear.

Cheng Yuan almost lost his senses!

It took immense will for him to control that unruly part of himself.

Then, pretending to be a bit shy, he scratched his head with an embarrassed look, and a proper flush appeared on his face.

Cheng Yuan’s reaction made Shen Manwen laugh.

That night, Cheng Yuan nearly worked her to death!

And here she thought Cheng Yuan was fearless and bold, but it turned out he could also be shy?

Well then, Cheng Yuan being shy seemed to be the norm.

After all, according to her investigation,

Cheng Yuan had never seriously dated anyone. The only person he nearly dated had been snatched away by Ma Guotao.

It must be said, life is a drama; it’s all about acting.

Now, with Cheng Yuan’s acting skills, he’s on par with any award-winning actor.

He pretended to be all in a frenzy, nearly dropping his spatula into the pan with a clatter.

"County Chief, why don’t you sit in the living room for a while? I get a bit nervous with you watching."

With a snort of laughter, Shen Manwen couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This little guy was quite cute!

"I’m not a tiger; are you afraid I’ll eat you up?"

Cheng Yuan sneaked a glance at Shen Manwen. Her beaming smile was truly too beautiful, too enchanting!

Cheng Yuan’s heart started racing uncontrollably!

If he really could win over the County Chief, wouldn’t his future be incredibly delightful?

Cheng Yuan muttered under his breath, keeping his voice just loud enough that Shen Manwen had to perk up her ears to hear.

"If the tiger was as good-looking as the County Chief, I’d rather be eaten by the tiger."

This rascal, he had the guts to tease, but not the guts to act on it.

The corners of Shen Manwen’s lips curved up uncontrollably,

and a radiant smile spread across her face.

Since that day, all the resentment from being framed, put under investigation, and forced to leave Ji County dispersed into the air!
