Jiang Ling supported her face with one hand and pinched his cheek with the other, with tenderness and helplessness in her eyes.
"You're not ugly, why should I look at others? Huh?"
Her voice was soft, like the misty white clouds that could be blown away by the wind on the top of the mountain, and the ending tone was upturned, adding a touch of charm.
Zhou Jingan couldn't help blushing again.
[Ding~ The hero's favorability increased by one point, and his loyalty increased by 2%. The current favorability is 98, and his loyalty is 45%.]
Looking at the red clouds on his fair cheeks, Jiang Ling couldn't help but pinch them twice more.
Zhou Jing'an leaned forward, put his cheek close to Jiang Ling's fingers, and gently touched her fingertips.
His eyes sparkled, filled with joy.
"Ling'er can pinch me as long as you want."
Jiang Ling's fingertips were burned and curled up slightly.
Looking at Zhou Jing'an like this, she couldn't help but think of the golden retriever that Qingqing raised.
As soon as he saw her, he came forward with his tail wagging and put his head under her palm to ask for a touch.
"Cough cough." Jiang Ling coughed twice, his eyes flashing slightly.
She wanted to take her hand back, but looking at his shining eyes, she squeezed it again awkwardly.
Well, it's a little soft and a little hot.
"Ling'er." Zhou Jing'an, still clutching her sleeve, asked tentatively in a low voice, "Are you still angry?"
Zhou Jing'an knew that he had done too many mistakes this time, and it was reasonable for Jiang Ling to be angry.
Jiang Ling pondered for a moment. Although she was not very angry, she also felt that he was willing to take the initiative to come to her to admit his mistake. This behavior and attitude were worthy of praise, but she still planned to have a good talk with him.
"I'm angry."
She whispered, "I'm not angry because you're jealous, but because you didn't ask me and went straight to him. It's because you don't believe in me."
Jiang Ling looked serious yet gentle.
She smiled faintly, "But I am very satisfied that you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes to me."
Jiang Ling gently pulled out the sleeve that he was holding, and seeing his uneasy look, she stretched out her index finger and gently hooked it around his fingertips.
Fingertips touch, emotions entangled.
She felt Zhou Jing'an's fingertips tremble.
There was a boundless spring light in Jiang Ling's bright eyes, which suddenly spread out, and warmth spread all over her body.
"Zhou Jing'an, you and I will be husband and wife from now on. We must trust each other and support each other."
She hooked her fingertips around his and shook them gently, a faint smile playing on the corners of her mouth: "If there are any misunderstandings in the future, you have to ask, you have to speak up, you can't bear it, what's that saying called."
Jiang Ling's eyebrows curved, "Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight."
[Ding~ The hero's favorability increased by one point, and his loyalty increased by 2%. The current favorability is 99, and the loyalty is 47%.]
Zhou Jing'an's heart was beating vigorously, and the fingertips that she gently hooked were hot, and the blood flowed throughout his body. He felt weak and numb all over.
"Yeah." His voice was hoarse and he nodded in response, "I remember. I won't do anything to make you sad again."
His eyes were glued to Jiang Ling, his heart was beating up and down because of her teasing. His right hand was slightly numb and stiff when she touched it, and his palm was wet with sweat.
"Ling'er..." He whispered softly, his voice was as gentle and sweet as honey, and Jiang Ling's ears blushed when he heard it.
"I will work hard to be a good husband." He promised softly.
So please don't be disappointed in him. This is also the first time he likes someone, and he is trying to adapt to the anxiety of having all his emotions involved with one person.
Jiang Ling's heartbeat also began to beat slowly. She smiled and nodded, "Okay."
-
The ambiguous and sticky atmosphere in the private room was broken by a gentle knock on the door. The two of them quickly let go of each other. Zhou Jing'an sat back, covered his lips and coughed lightly, and let someone in.
His right hand hung at his side, still a little hot.
"Master Zhou, Miss Jiang, this is our new tea, called White Frost Cold Dew. The tea leaves are freshly picked snowflake tea from Qingchun Mountain, and the water is frost and dew from the early morning of autumn. Please enjoy it."
The man was about forty years old, with a handsome appearance, a kind smile, and a medium build. He looked like an honest businessman.
Zhou Jingan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Boss Qian."
Boss Qian?
Jiang Ling was startled and glanced secretly at the man who was serving tea himself.
Suddenly I realized that this was Qingfeng Teahouse.
Is this the owner of this teahouse - Qian Sidu?
Previously, when Jiang Ling exposed Shen Qingru's true identity in Liuyun Garden, he also used Qingfeng Teahouse as a gimmick, in order to let the Wu family use that favor to seek refuge.
In order to avoid leaving any traces, she did not show up, nor did she send her subordinates to go. Instead, she asked Wu Wanying to send someone who had no connection with the boss to make a deal with him.
It was the first time she met him.
He seems to be an honest and simple person.
But Jiang Ling's heart was not at peace again.
It's different from the plot of the original book.
In the original book, Feng Yu was assassinated on his way back to Beijing from the palace, and he captured a man in black alive. Later, he traced the clues and found out that Qian Sidu was one of the masterminds. He was investigated inside and out, and it was also discovered at that time that the Wu family saved his father and promised a favor.
The Wu family was almost implicated, but fortunately the truth was finally found out.
She remembered that in the original book, Feng Yu hurried back to Beijing from the palace because he discovered that Zhou Ning'an was pregnant and wanted to return to Beijing to settle down.
But Feng Yu hasn’t gone to the palace yet.
That's why Jiang Ling forgot about this matter. Otherwise, he would have to remind Zhou Jing'an to be on guard against assassinations and investigate other tricks.
Moreover, the assassination happened almost at the same time as Zhou Ning'an discovered she was pregnant. Now Zhou Ning'an is not far from having a miscarriage, but Qian Sidu is still working safely as a teahouse owner.
