Chapter 58 Chapter 58

"Oh..." Chen Zhaoyue stretched out his tone and laughed mischievously: "I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be the old cliché of a hero saving a damsel in distress!"

Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly seemed to think of something: "Did Liu Siyu know that Wen Qing was engaged before?"

Wen Yanxi's expression suddenly turned cold, and the air pressure around him dropped instantly.

He lowered his eyes to look at Chen Zhaoyue who was sitting opposite him, and said in a low and suppressed voice: "Are you concerned about Wen Qing?"

Shen Zhaoyue was slightly stunned, then reacted.

Looking at the man's taut jawline, she smiled inwardly.

It turns out that my uncle, who is usually as calm as a mountain, can also get jealous!

She blinked her big watery eyes, and said in a coquettish voice: "I care, of course I care! After all..."

She dragged out the last syllable, whetting the other person's appetite.

Wen Yanxi's face looked even uglier, his jawline was tense, and even his breathing became heavier.

His fingers on the table tightened unconsciously, and the joints turned bluish-white.

Seeing this, Chen Zhaoyue was not panicked, but smiled even more brightly, and even winked at him playfully.

"Wen Qing is the one who will call me auntie in the future~" She raised the ending of her voice, with the agility unique to young girls.

Wen Yanxi's tense shoulders relaxed instantly, and the haze in his eyes dissipated.

Chen Zhaoyue looked up at Wen Yanxi and poked his tense arm: "Uncle, you got jealous so suddenly."

Wen Yanxi's arm muscles tensed, and he pursed his lips without responding.

"Uncle, do you care about my previous engagement with Wen Qing?" Chen Zhaoyue continued, "But that was arranged by Grandpa."

Wen Yanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally said, "I don't care."

His voice was low and restrained, as if he was suppressing something.

What he cared about was not the previous engagement, but Chen Zhaoyue's attitude towards Wen Qing.

Every time she saw Wen Qing, although the two of them quarreled, it was completely different from the liveliness when Shen Zhaoyue was in front of him.

"What is that?" Chen Zhaoyue asked, his eyes sparkling.

She suddenly leaned forward slightly, and the distance between them was instantly shortened.

Wen Yanxi could even smell the faint scent of jasmine in her hair and the warm breath she brought with her.

This sudden approach made his Adam's apple roll unconsciously, and his breathing became heavier.

"Nothing..." Wen Yanxi looked away, his voice a little lower than usual.

He subconsciously leaned back, but was grabbed by Shen Zhaoyue's sleeve the next second.

"Uncle." Chen Zhaoyue tilted her head to look at him, a sly smile on her lips: "You can't be..."

She deliberately dragged out the ending tone and shook his sleeve: "Are you jealous?"

Wen Yanxi's brows furrowed fiercely, and he rapped his knuckles on the table, making a dull sound: "No."

His deliberately cold and hard voice couldn't hide a subtle panic, and even his ears were suspiciously flushed.

When he tried to pull back his sleeve, he found that Chen Zhaoyue's fingers were holding it tightly.

The harder he tried, the more happily she laughed, with a smug look in her eyes and eyebrows.

"Uncle doesn't admit it?" Chen Zhaoyue suddenly let go of his hand, and his fingertips brushed across the skin on his wrist, bringing a subtle itch.

The touch felt like the brush of a feather, but it made Wen Yanxi's whole body stiffen.

Wen Yanxi's breathing became a little disordered because of her, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks: "Eat!"

Chen Zhaoyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a butterfly-like shadow under her eyes: "What are you afraid of, little uncle? Are you afraid that I will say something that's really on your mind?"

Outside the window, a night breeze blew, causing the curtains to sway gently.

The moonlight shines through the gaps, casting mottled shadows on the dining table, infinitely prolonging the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Wen Yanxi's grip on the chopsticks tightened again and again, and he finally sighed helplessly: "Stop it."

"Okay, I'll listen to my uncle." Chen Zhaoyue picked up the chopsticks with a smile.

She glanced at Wen Yanxi and saw that even his neck was flushed red, as if dyed by the sunset glow, so she decided to let him go for the time being.

After all, if you go too far, it will end badly!

She picked up a piece of meat and put it into Wen Yanxi's bowl: "Uncle, eat more."

His eyes curved into crescents, making him look like a successful little fox.

Wen Yanxi looked at the meat in the bowl, then looked at her cunning smiling face, and shook his head helplessly.

He picked up the meat and took a bite. The sweet aroma of the sauce melted between his lips and teeth, just like the indescribable feeling in his heart at this moment.

————

The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Chen Zhaoyue rubbed his sleepy eyes and suddenly jumped up from the bed as if he remembered something.

"Hmm...it seems like today is the day to harvest the spiritual fields..."

Thinking about this in his mind, Chen Zhaoyue simply washed up and slipped into the space.

As soon as I entered, I saw Johnny happily busy in the spiritual field, harvesting the ripe herbs nimbly and skillfully, with a happy blue light flashing in his electronic eyes.

"Miss!" Johnny immediately put down his work and ran over when he saw her.

"Look!" It held up a ginseng plant as if presenting a treasure, and shook it excitedly: "These herbs are growing well!"

Chen Zhaoyue squatted down and examined carefully, and found that these herbs, under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, not only grew at an astonishing speed, but their medicinal effects were also several times stronger than ordinary herbs.

The leaves are plump and green, the roots are thick and strong, the surface has a faint glow, and emits a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

With the spiritual spring water, the yield of herbs was much higher, but she planted too few, so the herbs she harvested were nothing.

"It's really good." Chen Zhaoyue nodded with satisfaction: "It's just that the quantity is too small. I have to go to the mountains to collect some wild ones to plant."

Johnny immediately volunteered: "I can help you pick it!"

Although it is just a butler-type robot, it has been following the young lady for so many years and it knows most of the herbs.

Chen Zhaoyue poked its head and said, "If you go into the mountains like this, you'll probably be arrested as an enemy spy."

No matter how much Johnny looks like a human, there are still some differences for the purpose of distinction.

Once it is caught, it will probably be dismantled for research.

As soon as he heard the words "catch him", Johnny's electronic eyes instantly changed from blue to panicked orange.

"Well... let's just forget it..." It took two steps back aggrievedly.

“When I’m free, I’ll find a chance to go up the mountain.” Chen Zhaoyue sighed.

Now that she is in the health center, she has no time to go up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs. Fortunately, she still has some seeds stored in her villa.

"Johnny, take the usable seeds from the mature herbs and plant them together later."

Chen Zhaoyue said, pointing to a small plot of newly reclaimed land next to the spiritual field: "Plant it there."

Johnny immediately regained his spirits, his electronic eyes returning to a vibrant blue: "Yes, miss!"

"Well, remember to store them in categories." Chen Zhaoyue instructed, and then looked at the spiritual fields that were growing well, and then left the space with satisfaction.
