Chapter 232 Shen Xiangxiang and Shang Zexi are dating!
The next day.
Xia Yue woke up before seven o'clock, but unexpectedly Shen Xiangxiang woke up even earlier.
There was no one left on the bed. After washing up, she went to the living room and found that Shen Xiangxiang was actually making steamed buns herself.
Xia Yue had witnessed Shen Xiangxiang's cooking skills, and only Shang Zexi could stomach it; she dared not compliment her.
"Xiangxiang, what are you doing?" Xia Yue asked casually.
Shen Xiangxiang said, "I was afraid that Shi Zexi wouldn't like the snacks I bought, so I wanted to make him something delicious myself."
Are you sure it's delicious, and not inedible?
Xia Yue mentally complained, but when she saw the pile of wasted buns on the table and Shen Xiangxiang constantly watching the instructional video, she realized that this girl was serious!
She genuinely wanted to cook a nice meal for Shang Zexi.
Xia Yue noticed that Shen Xiangxiang's eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well.
"When did you get up?" Xia Yue asked softly.
"Three o'clock, I think, I can't remember exactly," Shen Xiangxiang said nonchalantly.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat somber.
Xia Yue knew that Shen Xiangxiang was in a bad mood and needed to vent, so she wisely stopped asking questions and just helped out.
When Qin Yeting got up and came to have breakfast, Shen Xiangxiang finally made a basket of steamed buns that she thought she was quite satisfied with.
She let Xia Yue try it first, and Xia Yue gave it a perfect score!
Shen Xiangxiang gave Qin Yeting another leopard and asked him to help him eat it. Qin Yeting took one bite but couldn't eat any more.
His furrowed brows said it all.
"Is it really that bad?" Shen Xiangxiang was almost in despair. She had been working on it for hours but had made no progress at all.
"He has a poor sense of taste, don't believe him." Xia Yue stepped in to smooth things over, and then fed him the same steamed buns herself.
Qin Yeting reacted in a completely different way this time, a smile appearing at the corners of his eyes.
"tasty!"
He thinks anything his wife feeds him tastes good.
Seeing Qin Yeting like this, Xia Yue was happy but also a little worried.
She couldn't feed Qin Yeting all the time; the two would eventually have to be apart.
If she's not around, he can't swallow anything, no matter how delicious it is; it's just too painful.
Xia Yue wants to help Qin Yeting cure this strange illness!
Seeing that Qin Yeting had changed his evaluation, Shen Xiangxiang was finally relieved. She then lowered her head to pack breakfast, preparing to visit him in prison later.
Shang Zexi was imprisoned in the Royal Prison, which was strictly guarded and mainly housed criminals with special status from Country A.
Qin Yeting had made special arrangements, so Shang Zexi didn't suffer much here. On the contrary, because he was relatively idle, he ate a lot and exercised little, and even gained weight.
Even so, Shen Xiangxiang's eyes still reddened when she saw Shang Zexi, and she felt extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
This was Shen Xiangxiang's first sentence to Shang Zexi.
That's not what Shang Zexi wanted to hear. Despite being in jail, he cheerfully reassured Shen Xiangxiang, "I'm doing great here. I'm eating and drinking well every day, so you don't have to worry."
"But...but..." Shen Xiangxiang's voice choked with sobs.
She couldn't bring herself to say, "You've been sentenced to death."
That was rubbing salt into Shang Zexi's wounds.
Shang Zexi knew what Shen Xiangxiang was going to say, and continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, the boss and Shang family will definitely find a way to save me. I'm strong here, I'll definitely get through this."
Shen Xiangxiang felt even worse. Even in this state, Shang Zexi was still trying to comfort her.
She wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold it back.
At this point, self-pity is useless.
She quickly changed the subject, "These are steamed buns I made for you. They're in an insulated container, so they're still warm. Try them."
Shang Zexi had one hand locked to the table, but his other hand was still free to move.
He took the steamed bun from Shen Xiangxiang and started eating immediately.
The steamed buns were delicious, a stark contrast to Shen Xiangxiang's previous culinary skills.
Before eating it, he was prepared that it would be hard to swallow, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious.
"These are the best steamed buns I've ever eaten!" Shang Zexi praised with a smile.
Shen Xiangxiang's tense nerves relaxed, and she subconsciously said, "I'll wait for you to come out, and I'll make it for you every day from now on!"
"Really?" Shang Zexi's eyes lit up, eager to get out of prison immediately.
Shen Xiangxiang firmly promised, "I'd be a dog if I lied to you!"
"Not just a puppy, it has to be a pig!" Shang Zexi seized the opportunity to take control.
"You called me a pig?" Shen Xiangxiang misunderstood, raising an eyebrow and getting a little angry.
Shang Zexi then explained, "No, I didn't mean you're a pig. In my heart, you're a fairy!"
"Hmph! I think that's exactly what you mean!"
"I'm not..."
Qin Yeting and Xia Yue stood to the side, listening to the two's childish conversation, not knowing how to interject.
It can only be said that people in love are not very smart.
Finally, Qin Yeting interrupted, "There are only five minutes left for the visit. Can you two please stop wasting time?"
Shang Zexi chuckled as he ate his steamed bun, "I'm pursuing my wife! Not wasting my time!"
Shen Xiangxiang blushed and, unusually, did not refute.
Seeing this, Shang Zexi became even bolder.
He mustered his courage and whispered, "Xiangxiang, after I get out, will you be my girlfriend?"
After saying this, Shang Zexi's heart raced, and he lowered his head, not daring to look Shen Xiangxiang in the eye.
He was afraid of seeing Shen Xiangxiang's expression of rejection.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiangxiang agreed without hesitation, "Yes! I'm willing right now!"
