It wasn't that Xiao Tang was exaggerating her excitement; the man's thin lips were simply too sexy and alluring.

Did my charm pill accidentally fall into this man's teacup?

Oh my god, the more I look at it, the more I want to kiss it.

No, no, no, form is emptiness, emptiness is form! Calm down!

Xiao Tang was absolutely unwilling to kiss him.

But then she thought about how hard it was for her to exchange those 10 points for what she had earned, and she felt so bad that she would give it up now!

Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Tang's mind like a fleeting dream.

She was thinking about how to complete the task.

So much so that even the slices of meat I was dipping in the hot pot didn't taste good anymore.

The hot pot was still bubbling away, and its aroma filled the entire back garden.

This made Di Jingling, who originally disliked these strong flavors, suddenly want to try them.

As for the "mission" that Xiao Tang was thinking about, he was also quite interested in finding out.

What exactly is the mission?

"Yan Jiu, go prepare a bowl and chopsticks."

Yan Jiu's usually expressionless face was now filled with undisguised shock at the Regent's words.

He stared at Di Jingling in disbelief.

After a long while, they awkwardly turned around to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tang was also startled for a moment: "Your Highness, this kind of food is not suitable for you. Your husband should eat something lighter..."

[Seriously? Seriously? You villain, don't you know your character has collapsed?]

[You never eat spicy or strong-flavored food in your books, so why are you trying to steal my hot pot now?]

【It’s so unforgivable! 】

Instead of explaining, the villain handed her the bowl and chopsticks.

His expression seemed to be a silent instruction to her to serve the food properly.

Xiao Tang was so angry at this villain who "ate whatever he wanted" that she almost laughed.

She simply couldn't believe that there could be such a shameless man in the world.

With a forced smile, she took the man's bowl, suppressing her heartache, and gave him two slices of meat, two small chicken feet, two slices of pig liver, and some green vegetable leaves.

Of course, to show her "sincerity," she didn't forget to put all the strong-flavored seasonings from the pot into the man's bowl.

Add as much of whatever you can find, such as peppercorns, star anise, and cinnamon.

[This is extreme! This bowl of soup will definitely leave you with a sore throat and a mess of wounds tomorrow.]

Di Jingling lowered his eyes slightly, unsure of her true feelings.

Just looking at the bright red color in the bowl made him hesitant to pick up his chopsticks.

He handed the bowl back to Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang: [Huh?]

Is it hard to swallow?

[Wow, my two little cuties are finally mine!]

"There's too little food."

Unexpectedly, just as Xiao Tang was laughing wildly in her heart, the man's deep voice came.

Xiao Tang almost choked on a mouthful of chili oil.

Her lips twitched violently.

[You heartless, ruthless vegetable-stealing villain!]

[You, the Regent, are trying to steal my food? How dare you!]

While internally complaining, she still had to smile and continue picking out vegetables for him.

She stood up, carrying the dishes, and said, "Your Highness, you are not well and your hands are trembling. Shall I feed you myself?"

Faced with her affected acting, the man saw through it but said nothing.

He nodded slightly and surprisingly agreed.

"Alright."

Xiao Tang smiled coldly to himself.

[I'll feed you a huge spoonful of the eight-piece set of strong-flavored food as your first bite.]

However, before following the man into the study, she didn't forget to tell Ruyi, "Leave some for me."

Ruyi looked at the bright red bottom of the pot in front of her and smacked her lips.

The princess's cooking skills are really good.

What seemed like a terrible pot of food turned out to be surprisingly delicious!

As Xiao Tang entered the study, she saw the man sit down, and she silently told herself that she couldn't be influenced.

She picked up a piece of meat, forcing a "gentle smile" that looked more like a grimace, and said, "My lord, come on, open your mouth, ah—"

However, the man didn't open his mouth; instead, he stared coldly at the entire spoonful of seasoning in her spoon.

There's only a tiny bit of minced meat in this spoon; one bite and you're good to go.

Xiao Tang had already touched his thin lips with a spoon.

It was as if she was prompting him with her actions to open his mouth.

[Hurry up, big villain, open your mouth!]

Because the hand holding the spoon was shaking so much, the red oil on the spoon inadvertently got onto the man's thin lips.

[Oh my god, this is terrible!]

[This villain's mouth looks so delicious!]

The thought of the three tasks she had to complete made Xiao Tang panic.

If we kiss so openly, won't they strangle us?

Di Jingling, who had actually been listening for half a day, suddenly frowned.

What did he hear?

Xiao Tang wants to kiss him?

Just as I was feeling slightly puzzled, Xiao Tang's face, which looked like a cat covered in food, indeed came closer!
