Chapter 149 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 17

In the mirror, she looked funny with her hair curled up in circles, like a landlady. Shen Xinran turned to look at Zhou Yaoqi and asked mischievously, "Do I look good now?"

As soon as Zhou Yaoqi opened his mouth, Chen Xinran quickly interrupted him, "Let me make it clear first, I want to hear your true feelings!"

Zhou Yaoqi said sincerely, "It looks very good."

His three older sisters had taught him one thing for as long as he could remember: never argue with a woman. The so-called "truth" was often not as sweet as a gentle lie.

"Tsk, boring!" Shen Xinran pursed her lips, a hint of disdain in her expression. But she had to admit that Zhou Yaoqi's answer just now made her very happy.

It was almost noon when a middle-aged woman walked into the barber shop holding an umbrella and a lunch box. She complained as she walked, "It's raining so hard today! My pants are soaking wet. I don't know when it will stop."

The barber took the lunch box and smiled gratefully. "Didn't I tell you that if it rains, you don't have to send me food. It's okay to go hungry."

The middle-aged woman glared at the barber and retorted with a smile, "How can I really let you starve?"

The barber opened his lunch box and was about to eat when he suddenly remembered that there were customers. He warmly invited Shen Xinran: "Come and eat with us!"

Shen Xinran smiled and waved her hand: "No, you eat first, don't worry about us."

But she had to admit, the aroma emanating from the lunch box made Shen Xinran swallow uncontrollably. She almost immediately recognized the familiar taste—potatoes and pork ribs!

Shen Xinran secretly glanced at Zhou Yaoqi in the mirror and found that he was staring at her intently.

Their eyes met in the mirror. Chen Xinran coughed lightly and said jokingly, "Dear knight, your princess is a little hungry now."

Zhou Yaoqi raised his eyebrows and asked, "And then?"

Shen Xinran blushed slightly and said half-jokingly, "If you can bravely cross this storm and bring me some food, your princess will be very grateful."

She thought, since Zhou Yaoqi could wait for four hours in the heavy rain for Zhao Shiqian, then buying some food for her in the rain should be no problem.

Zhou Yaoqi stood up, walked to Shen Xinran, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Shen Xinran glanced at the pouring rain outside and said casually, "Anything is fine."

Zhou Yaoqi raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you sure? Don't ask me to bring it back. You don't want to eat it."

Shen Xinran smiled, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, because she really had this idea just now.

But after hearing what Zhou Yaoqi said, she could only answer truthfully: "Please make me some potatoes and braised pork ribs!"

Zhou Yaoqi nodded, borrowed an umbrella from the barber, and rushed into the rain. He waited for about half an hour before he came back.

He was holding two lunch boxes in his arms, one filled with rice and the other filled with potatoes and pork ribs.

Shen Xinran was really hungry, and even with curlers on her head, she ate with relish.

Zhou Yaoqi was still damp from his outing. He stood aside and joked, "My dear princess, are you satisfied with the food your knight brought back?"

Shen Xinran answered while eating: "It would be even better if you could take the initiative to find food without me asking next time."

She was halfway through her meal when she remembered that Zhou Yaoqi hadn't eaten yet. She looked up and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

The smile in Zhou Yaoqi's eyes grew thicker, "The food here is huge, I'll just eat what you leave."

After hearing this, Shen Xinran was slightly startled. You're the one who's frugal, right? You're really obvious!

She gently stroked the rice with her chopsticks and silently ate the rice that belonged only to her.

As night fell, Shen Xinran's hairstyle was finally completed. When she saw her bright red hair in the mirror, she felt extremely satisfied.

Even the hairdresser couldn't help but praise him repeatedly, "Miss, you are the most suitable person for this color that I have ever seen."

Shen Xinran smiled triumphantly, then turned to look at Zhou Yaoqi, only to find him staring at her in a daze. She frowned slightly, "What are you standing there for? Pay the bill!"

There was a flash of surprise in Zhou Yaoqi's eyes, a complex emotion mixed with appreciation and admiration, as if he had discovered a hidden work of art.

After he calmly paid the bill, he was on his way home, his heart surging with excitement like a tide.

As soon as he entered the house, he hugged Shen Xinran in his arms, his fingers gently running through Shen Xinran's red hair.

The fingers seemed to carry electricity, and every touch made Shen Xinran's heart beat faster. "What are you doing!"

Zhou Yaoqi's Adam's apple rolled twice, and his voice was as hoarse as sandpaper. "I take back what I said this morning. I think you look even more beautiful with red hair!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yaoqi leaned over and kissed her passionately.

His kiss was as fierce as a storm, yet as soft as a feather, filled with endless desire and attachment.

His lips pressed tightly against Shen Xinran's, sucking as if he wanted to suck away her soul.

Shen Xinran gritted her teeth in anger! Damn it, she dyed her hair to look good on herself, not to add interest to you.

Shen Xinran shrank back, but Zhou Yaoqi picked her up directly. In panic, she could only hug his neck tightly, feeling his strength and tenderness.

He kissed her passionately, her lips, her ears, her neck, everywhere was filled with his scent, that scent was strong and hot, as if it was going to drown her heart...

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the gap in the curtains and gently brushed Shen Xinran's face. She opened her eyes and met Zhou Yaoqi's smiling eyes.

Zhou Yaoqi's teasing voice rang in her ears: "My dear princess, you have finally woken up. What does your knight need to do for you today?"

Shen Xinran's cheeks flushed instantly. She covered her head with the quilt and said unhappily, "You'd better shut up!"

After Zhou Yaoqi constantly called himself a "knight" last night, Shen Xinran felt that he might never be able to look directly at the words "knight and princess" again.

Zhou Yaoqi's mouth curled up slightly. He stood up and walked to the kitchen, made a cup of honey water for Shen Xinran, and placed it on the dining table. But when he came out of the bathroom, he saw Shen Xinran taking a white pill.

He walked forward, frowned, and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Xinran replied expressionlessly: "Birth control pills."

Zhou Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, "Why eat this?"

Shen Xinran's answer was straightforward: "Of course it's because I don't want children."

Zhou Yaoqi was stunned. He asked cautiously, "Do you not want to have my child, or..."

What is the problem!

Chen Xinran rolled her eyes at Zhou Yaoqi and said, "Nonsense, I'm a dancer. Having a child will affect my figure, so of course I don't want to have anyone else's child."

Hearing Shen Xinran say this, Zhou Yaoqi was obviously relieved. If she doesn't want to have the baby, then so be it. He almost thought that Shen Xinran just didn't want to have his child.

Zhou Yaoqi didn't actually have a strong obsession with children. He believed that if it was destined to be, it would come, and if it wasn't, there was no point in forcing it. After all, his family didn't have an heir to the throne.
