Ye Zhiwei unbuttoned two buttons, and Jiang Jianian's hand was about to go down when Ye Zhiwei pressed it down. She originally intended to seduce Jiang Jianian, but not only did she fail to seduce him, she was also teased instead. Although this level of exposure was nothing compared to before, it still made her nervous, especially since this person was dressed so well but kept trying to take off her clothes.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jianian did not let her off the hook. After Ye Zhiwei buttoned her clothes back up, Jiang Jianian did not object anymore. The pajamas were loose, and as Jiang Jianian's fingertips slid across them, the clothes gently clung to her body.
"Isn't there any perfume here?" Jiang Jianian's low, cold voice broke the tense atmosphere.
Ye Zhiwei immediately said, "No, that's all..."
"That's a real shame." He chuckled, for he was quite restrained this time, dressed so maturely, and yet spoke in a slightly frivolous manner while staring at such a cold and aloof appearance.
Ye Zhiwei clung tightly to Jiang Jianian's clothes, her nervous appearance making Jiang Jianian unable to help but laugh. His hand moved down to Ye Zhiwei's firm waist, and through her pajamas, her slender waist was revealed with a little force. He still wouldn't let go, all the way to her legs. Ye Zhiwei trembled slightly, but Jiang Jianian's interest only grew stronger.
His gaze, which had been initially interested as he caressed her through her clothes, gradually deepened. Finally, he lowered his head to kiss Ye Zhiwei's thigh through her clothes, and you could feel his icy hands warming up little by little.
"Isn't it here either?" he asked again, his voice hoarse this time, his gaze burning, his voice deep, and the kiss that sent shivers down one's spine.
Ye Zhiwei pushed Jiang Jianian and shook her head, saying, "No, I only applied it to my wrists and neck, nothing else!"
Jiang Jianian withdrew his hand and stopped kissing Ye Zhiwei. As if he knew something, he looked at Ye Zhiwei and said, "You weren't trying to seduce me, but this is how you seduce me?"
Ye Zhiwei was speechless. Jiang Jianian continued to whisper in Ye Zhiwei's ear, "You could be a little more dedicated."
After he finished speaking, his gaze followed Ye Zhiwei's collarbone downwards. Her previously loose pajamas were now slightly disheveled, the buttons at the chest undone at some point, revealing her exquisite curves and slender, firm waist—
Jiang Jianian didn't do anything more. Even though a sense of irritation was rising in his heart, considering that they were still in the hall and at the Ye family's house, he simply helped Ye Zhiwei straighten her clothes and tucked her stray hairs behind her ears.
Because her attempt to seduce him backfired, Ye Zhiwei was far from admitting that she was trying to seduce Jiang Jianian. She immediately pulled up her clothes and jumped out of bed, defending herself: "I didn't seduce you. I just wanted you to smell the perfume that Yingying gave me and see if it smelled good."
Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Zhiwei and asked briefly, "Who gave you the perfume?"
"My dear sister Yingying, this is a gift from her—the 'Man-Slaying Incense'."
Jiang Jianian: ...
This time, Jiang Jianian didn't say anything about the things Ye Yingying gave him. He just asked Ye Zhiwei if she was hungry since it was so late. He concealed the fact that he wanted to come back early and had only eaten a little something before leaving in a hurry. He only said that he would cook some late-night snacks for Ye Zhiwei.
Hearing this, Ye Zhiwei was indeed a little hungry. Even if she wasn't hungry, how could she refuse when Jiang Jianian was going to cook? She hadn't had dinner cooked by Jiang Jianian for a long time.
Because Ye Zhiwei suggested having scallion oil noodles for a late-night snack, Jiang Jianian went to the kitchen alone. Luckily, the chef had prepared a lot of ingredients before leaving, so Jiang Jianian easily found the ingredients she needed.
Ye Zhiwei loves shrimp, and Jiang Jianian usually adds some shrimp to his noodles. So when he saw there were still fresh shrimp in the kitchen, he quickly prepared them, removing the fishy smell and shelling them before setting them aside. Then he sautéed scallions, onions, and minced garlic in a pan until they turned a caramel color. Next, he added the prepared shrimp to the pan, along with a certain ratio of water, soy sauce, oysters, and rock sugar to make a sauce. He cooked the noodles separately, and when they were about half-cooked, he added them to the sauce pot. At Ye Zhiwei's request, he added a small amount of chopped chili peppers. Then he simmered the noodles with white sesame seeds, scallion oil, and cilantro until cooked through before serving.
There was already some stewed soup in the kitchen, so Jiang Jianian didn't cook any more soup. In the end, she simply fried some eggs and took them to the dining room for Ye Zhiwei to eat.
The scallion oil noodles were also caramel-colored, and the cilantro, caramelized shrimp, and red chili peppers on top made them look very colorful and smelled delicious. Ye Zhiwei, who was only a little hungry, suddenly felt ravenous and immediately took a bite.
"Jiang Jianian, how come you can make such a simple noodle dish taste so good!" Ye Zhiwei ate more than half a bowl in one go.
Just as Ji Shuli was finishing his bowl of scallion oil noodles, he returned home after a long day of work. As soon as he entered the Ye family home, he smelled a delicious aroma. He wondered if Ye Zhiwei was hungry and had asked the kitchen to make her a late-night snack. When he arrived at the kitchen, he only saw Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei.
Jiang Jianian didn't pick up her chopsticks, only ate one bowl, and then rested her chin on her hand and watched Ye Zhiwei eat noodles from a large bowl that looked like a small pot. She couldn't really handle spicy food, and even a tiny bit of scallion oil and shrimp noodles with millet chili made her lips turn bright red.
"It's scallion oil noodles. It looks pretty delicious. Do you have another bowl for me?" Seeing Ye Zhiwei eating so heartily, Ji Shuli felt hungry too. It would be a shame not to have a late-night snack this late.
Ye Zhiwei took a sip of soup and looked up at Ji Shuli, saying, "That won't do. We only made enough for two people. Everything in the kitchen is for me, there's no extra for you."
Ji Shuli: This unkind little cousin who can eat so much, she finished this small pot and is planning to eat another bowl?
“Of course, cousin, if you really want to eat it, I can reluctantly give you a bowl.” Ye Zhiwei thought of the gossip she had just learned today and looked at Ji Shuli meaningfully, saying, “But you have to answer one question for me first.”
"What's the problem?"
"Have you started dating recently?" Ye Zhiwei asked immediately.
Ji Shuli was stunned for a moment. "No, I'm not dating. I've been busy with company matters lately, so I don't have time to date. Besides, even if I wanted to, there's no one around me to date. Where did you hear these rumors, little girl? These rumors are ruining my reputation as a single nobleman."
"No, that Qin Manshu—"
"Qin Manshu?" Ji Shuli looked at Ye Zhiwei with suspicion and asked curiously, "You mean Qin Manshu, the only daughter of the Qin family? What happened to her?"
It turns out that Ji Shuli was unaware of his recent romantic entanglements.
