At this time, Ji Shuang stepped into the kitchen doorway.
Her sharp eyes instantly softened when she caught sight of Zhao Tian and Yan Zijin.
He was standing behind her with his arms wrapped snugly around her waist as she stirred the pot, his chin resting casually on her shoulder.
A small smile tugged at Ji Shuang's lips and she didn't want to break the gentle rhythm of their moment.
Without a sound, she turned on her heel to leave.
But she had only taken a few steps into the corridor when a light, playful humming drifted closer from the other side.
"Tian, Tian, where is my Tian?"
Ji Shuang's brow twitched before she even saw her.
Rui Yuying came skipping down the hallway, with a bright smile on her face as if she owned every room she walked into.
Before she could waltz past, Ji Shuang shifted her stance, stepping directly into Rui Yuying's path.
"You can't go into the kitchen right now," Ji Shuang said in a firm voice, holding a quiet authority.
