【Father-in-law Chapter 13】What are you hiding from?
There was no one around, and Shen Zhen's courtyard was so quiet that it didn't look like a fourth-rank official.
Chu Jiao walked into the study room leisurely with a food tray, and the door of the study room was closed by a man with a creaking sound.
Shen Zhen's study room was elegant and simple. The bookshelves on both sides were filled with classics, history, and collections. The pages of the books were curled and yellowed, which showed that they were read for many years.
Chu Jiao put the food tray on the table.
"I heard from Fu Lai that father-in-law just returned home," Chu Jiao lowered her eyes, turned around and said softly to Shen Zhen, "I don't know if he has had dinner, so your daughter-in-law brought some snacks without permission."
The snacks were a stack of glutinous rice balls with lava fillings. The small, snow-white glutinous rice balls were decorated with strands of coconut flakes, which looked particularly sweet and delicious.
Shen Zhen glanced at the food plate, then his eyes moved back to Chu Jiao's face.
He had been busy with a case recently, and he hadn't seen the person in front of him for more than a month. She
was still as pretty as a picture, and as charming as a flower.
For the first time, he had the idea of hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house, but that beautiful girl did not belong to him.
"You... are thoughtful."
He praised dryly, picked up a glutinous rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
He had actually eaten dinner, and there was a lingering smell of alcohol in his stomach, but he didn't want to win her kindness. He took a bite, and the soft and sweet taste spread in his mouth. Shen Zhen pinched the soft snowball in his hand, and suddenly his mouth was dry.
It's so similar.
Like that night, the two round balls he held were soft, white, fragrant and delicious.
He was more than eight feet tall, and the woman in front of him was different from the petite women in the Central Plains. She was only half a head shorter than him, with a slender waist and long legs. When he lowered his head, he saw her round and soft breasts wrapped in her breasts, and her white skin was amazingly bright under the dim light.
Shen Zhen coughed twice, trying his best to curb his associations.
Knowing that it was a mistake, he still made it. That was not his style.
What's more... she... had someone in her heart.
Shen Zhen suppressed his unhappiness and swallowed the glutinous rice ball.
Chu Jiao had no idea of the man's thoughts. Seeing him chewing slowly, she thought it was because the glutinous rice balls were too sticky, so she leaned over to pour a cup of tea and turned around to serve it to him. However, she didn't realize that the man was leaning forward to get the food, and the distance between them was only an inch. When he turned around, the cup shook, and the tea inside spilled on their clothes.
"Ah!" Chu Jiao exclaimed and let go.
The tea was freshly brewed and steaming. Shen Zhen was wearing a robe, and all the water was absorbed by the fabric, so he didn't feel anything. But Chu Jiao was not so lucky. The place on her chest where the tea splashed was stinging and hot, and it turned red in an instant.
"How can you be so careless!"
Although Shen Zhen scolded her, he quickly grabbed the girl's waist and wiped the water stains on her chest with his thumb.
"Father-in-law, I'm fine," the two were too close, Chu Jiao pushed the man's chest, "You, you let me go first."
She didn't mean to seduce him this time, it was completely unintentional.
But Shen Zhen didn't let go, but picked up the girl with force, swept the things on the desk, and let Chu Jiao sit in front of him.
"Women's skin is delicate, and it will leave scars if you are not careful. How can it be fine?"
He was like educating an ignorant little kid, serious and earnest.
Taking a green jade box from the antique shelf next to him, Shen Zhen opened it, and there was a white paste inside.
"This is the Snow Skin Cream given by His Majesty. It is very effective in treating burn scars."
"Rather, let your daughter-in-law do it herself."
Chu Jiao lowered her eyes, scooped a little on her fingertips, and wanted to apply it to the wound.
But the places that were splashed just now were all on her neck and chest. She couldn't see even if she lowered her head, so she could only apply it randomly based on her feeling.
"Heh," Shen Zhen saw that she was avoiding him like this, and the depression in his chest finally broke out, "Let me do it."
He held Chu Jiao's wrist, dipped the ointment with his other hand, and applied it gently and accurately to Chu Jiao's red and swollen wounds, but he said something insincere.
"What are you hiding from?"
"What part of your body hasn't your master seen?"
