Chapter 18 The meal is so cute!
"Madam." At noon, Yan Zhenxi's voice rang out at the door, "May we have lunch together today?"
Jiang Zhiyao opened the door and looked at Yan Zhenxi, who had a handsome face and a tall and straight figure, and hesitated for a moment before not speaking.
"Madam?" The tone held a hint of doubt. "Is there some inconvenience? It's alright, I..."
"It's alright, it's alright," Jiang Zhiyao quickly said. "Let's go together."
At the dining table, Yan Zhenxi looked at Jiang Zhiyao, who was picking at her food with her head down, and asked, "Is the food delicious?"
Jiang Zhiyao raised her head slightly, but her gaze immediately shifted away as soon as it fell on Yan Zhenxi: "It's delicious."
Not only was the food delicious, but the people around them were also very attractive.
Jiang Zhiyao lowered her head and gently bit her chopsticks, not daring to raise her head even slightly.
Last night, while I was sleeping, I dreamt of the scene in the brothel during the day, but the difference was that the person feeding me pastries was Yan Zhenxi.
Yan Zhenxi was shirtless, the veil on her face was gone and instead tied around her waist, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she changed her usual gentle and calm tone, coaxing her softly: "Miss."
Her body was pressed against her intentionally or unintentionally, which was completely different from the real Yan Zhenxi, but she still enjoyed it in the dream.
What's even stranger is that I used to forget my dreams quickly after waking up, but this time the scenes in my dream became clearer and clearer.
Moreover, she noticed it as soon as she went out today. Unlike his usual attire, Yan Zhenxi was wearing a waist belt today, which clearly outlined his slender waist, making Jiang Zhiyao unable to look away for a moment.
Jiang Zhiyao couldn't help but recall that dream again.
But when she looked up and saw Yan Zhenxi's gentle expression and the white veil covering his face, Jiang Zhiyao felt that her thoughts were simply blaspheming him.
Jiang Zhiyao ate her meal attentively, not daring to look up at Yan Zhenxi's handsome face.
Seeing Jiang Zhiyao's cheeks puffed out from eating, Yan Zhenxi's eyes darkened. It seemed the food was to her liking. So why didn't she look up at him?
Seeing that Jiang Zhiyao had finished eating and put down her chopsticks, Yan Zhenxi also put down his chopsticks and said in a normal tone, "Madam, shall we dine together from now on?"
Yan Zhenxi didn't want to ask Jiang Zhiyao why she had been avoiding him before. If Jiang Zhiyao didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't get a real answer even if he asked, and it would only make things difficult for her.
Jiang Zhiyao has never been able to refuse people to their face, especially Yan Zhenxi, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Moreover, she couldn't think of any reason to refuse. Before, when Yan Zhenxi sent people, she could ask Nan Zhi to refuse, but over time, Jiang Zhiyao realized that constantly avoiding Yan Zhenxi wasn't a solution; they couldn't just keep avoiding each other forever.
Moreover, Jiang Zhiyao discovered that the longer they were apart, the more she couldn't help herself when they met again.
Yan Zhenxi didn't expect Jiang Zhiyao to agree so quickly, and the excuses he had prepared were now useless.
After dining together for a few days, Jiang Zhiyao and Yan Zhenxi had returned to how they were when they were together before.
Jiang Zhiyao has come to terms with it. Since she can't actively avoid it, she can only try her best to keep her mind calm.
Jiang Zhiyao came up with a good idea: keep staring at Yan Zhenxi, and maybe if she looked at him for a long time, she wouldn't have those romantic thoughts in her mind.
Yan Zhenxi found it strange. Apart from avoiding Jiang Zhiyao's gaze a few days ago, Jiang Zhiyao had been staring at him the whole time these past few days.
Especially during meals, glancing at him before taking a bite of food is like watching him eat with his own food.
Stared at by that direct gaze, Yan Zhenxi felt unusually uncomfortable and unconsciously became more careful with her movements. She wanted to speak up to remind him, but then she remembered her current "blindness" and could only shut up.
After staring at Yan Zhenxi for some time during meals, Jiang Zhiyao not only didn't stop having those thoughts in her mind, but her appetite improved, and she ate much more at each meal than before.
Upon seeing this, Nanzhi exclaimed, "It seems the new chef the son-in-law found is really skilled. I'll go and learn his techniques right away."
Jiang Zhiyao watched Nan Zhi's departing figure, her mouth opening and closing again. She couldn't very well say it was because Yan Zhenxi was too appetizing.
Jiang Zhiyao pinched the newly grown flesh on her stomach, feeling somewhat frustrated. She really had no other choice now.
Oh well, if I can't help it, I can't help it. Anyway, I'm only thinking about it in my head. If one day I really do something to Yan Zhenxi without restraint, then I can only blame Yan Zhenxi for always appearing in front of me.
Jiang Zhiyao thought to herself in despair.
-
After Jiang Zhiyao returned from her trip to the manor once again, during dinner, Yan Zhenxi asked casually, "Why hasn't Madam invited anyone to the manor to play lately?"
Jiang Zhiyao swallowed the food in her mouth and told Yan Zhenxi about seeing him in the garden last time, omitting the fact that she had felt like someone was watching her during that period.
These days, Jiang Zhiyao no longer feels like she's being watched, so she increasingly feels that the period was just an illusion caused by her not getting enough rest.
“Husband, it’s alright if it’s inconvenient. It’s the same if I go out to play with Sister Ji and the others.”
“No inconvenience at all,” Yan Zhenxi replied immediately, then paused for a moment before speaking, “What you saw was probably just when I was passing by the garden.”
"The garden is far from the study, so it won't disturb me."
Jiang Zhiyao, unsuspecting, smiled and said, "Then I'll come to your mansion with Sister Ji and the others next time."
"Mm," Yan Zhenxi nodded in response.
After the meal, Jiang Zhiyao was about to leave when Yan Zhenxi called out to her, "Madam, would you like to go for a walk together?"
"Huh?" Jiang Zhiyao turned to look at Yan Zhenxi, who was sitting gently in the chair. Jiang Zhiyao hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, I'll go digest my food."
"I might have to trouble you, Madam," Yan Zhenxi said with a smile. "Would it be alright if just the two of us went?"
"Okay." Looking at Yan Zhenxi's gentle smile and his words and request with a hint of amusement, Jiang Zhiyao immediately agreed.
Jiang Zhiyao knew that Yan Zhenxi didn't really like others having direct contact with him, so Yan Zhenxi would try to minimize leaving the mansion. When he had to leave the mansion, he would carry a cane and be guided by the voice of a servant.
At home, he didn't like using a cane and usually stayed in his study. The study had very little furniture, and it was all arranged according to Yan Zhenxi's habits. His bedroom was very close to his study, so it was quite convenient for him to move around.
So Jiang Zhiyao looked at Yan Zhenxi sitting there and was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to go out with Yan Zhenxi later.
Before Jiang Zhiyao could think for long, Yan Zhenxi continued, "I'll just hold your sleeve when I walk; I don't want to use a cane."
After saying that, he raised his hand slightly and held it in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Zhiyao immediately walked over. When Yan Zhenxi noticed her approach, he reached out and grabbed Jiang Zhiyao's forearm, then used his other hand to support himself on the table and stood up.
Then his hand slowly groped down and grabbed Jiang Zhiyao's sleeve, saying with a light smile, "Madam, let's go."
Jiang Zhiyao said somewhat blankly, "Okay."
Jiang Zhiyao's forearm, which had just been gently stroked by Yan Zhenxi, still felt a tingling sensation. Although she verbally agreed, she remained standing still.
Jiang Zhiyao didn't come to her senses until her cuff was gently tugged.
"We're heading out now." Jiang Zhiyao's throat felt a little dry, and she walked out of the room with slightly stiff movements.
“Okay.” Yan Zhenxi nodded, obediently taking Jiang Zhiyao’s sleeve and following her movements.
After Jiang Zhiyao left the house, she turned her head to look at Yan Zhenxi, who was obediently following behind her. She felt the slight tugging at her sleeve and had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It was very itchy, and there was some furry stuff around it, making her want to turn around and kiss Yan Zhenxi without thinking.
Jiang Zhiyao tried to stop the thoughts in her mind, swallowed twice to relieve the dryness in her throat.
She turned her head and stared intently ahead, trying her best to appear normal, but her uncoordinated movements betrayed her.
Because she didn't turn her head to look at Yan Zhenxi again, she didn't notice that the person who had originally seemed so docile had suddenly become aggressive, and the hand that had been just tugging at the edge of the sleeve was slowly moving inward.
Large, slender fingers slowly clenched along the edge of the sleeve and moved closer, oh, they accidentally touched it.
The touch followed immediately by a quick pull away created a tantalizingly close yet distant feeling that made Jiang Zhiyao blush and her heart itch with desire.
Even now, I haven't realized that I'm still walking with my hands and feet moving in unison.
Yan Zhenxi looked through the veil, a smile playing on her lips.
So cute, so incredibly cute.
I want to bite her cheek, and when it hurts, she'll look at me with teary eyes. Then I'll gently suck on her cheek, and she'll definitely widen her eyes again.
How come I never noticed before? There is such a lovely person. She is lovely when she eats, lovely when she talks, and even lovely when she walks.
During this period, Yan Zhenxi had a good appetite. Whenever he saw that Jiang Zhiyao liked a dish and took a few extra bites of it, he would pretend not to know and have the servants take the same dish for him.
Jiang Zhiyao is actually a bit possessive of her food. Whenever this happens, Yan Zhenxi can see a slight reluctance on her face. After seeing this, Yan Zhenxi feels that the dish really tastes good.
They've been eating together every day now, and Yan Zhenxi remembered what Uncle Xu had said before: sharing a bed.
Yan Zhenxi suddenly felt no resistance at all. She wondered what she would look like when she slept, but she was sure she would be very cute.
Yan Zhenxi found that his curiosity about Jiang Zhiyao was growing stronger.
I want to know her daily habits, her preferences, what she likes and dislikes.
I want to be with her all the time, and I always look forward to what she will say next.
I wanted to see her blush because of me, and I also wanted to know why she blushed and what she was thinking at that moment.
Exploring her was a desire Yan Zhenxi had never felt before, something even more addictive to him than gaining power.
