Duan Tingxuan does have the capital to be narcissistic, but unfortunately, before he could finish his self-indulgent thoughts, he saw Su Nuannuan reached out and picked up the remaining peach, then handed the plate to him expressionlessly. Just as Duan Tingxuan was surprised, he saw the plate suddenly raised up. His mind raced and he cried out inwardly, but it was too late. In the blink of an eye, the plate was upside down on his head, and the small pool of water in the plate flowed down his hair.
The poor young marquis was a skilled martial artist, but because of his self-conceited imagination, he was delayed for a while and was defeated by Su Nuannuan. This was the greatest humiliation in his life. At this time, he was extremely angry, and he lifted the plate on his head and asked with gritted teeth: "What are you doing?"
"I think you don't know what you look like, so I'll give you a plate to look at yourself." Su Nuannuan's tone was not much better, she frowned and looked disgusted: "Tell me, which lackey let you out? Let you come to my place to cause trouble again."
"What are you talking about? I'm a prince, not a prisoner. I can go wherever I want. Do I need a lackey to release me?" Duan Tingxuan said as he looked at the peach in his hand: "Damn it, you even bully me with a peach. It's not sweet at all." After saying that, he was about to throw it away.
"Do you dare to throw it and try?" Su Nuannuan knew what the scumbag was going to do after hearing this, and she spoke up in time to save the half peach, well, if this can be considered saving.
"I'm going to throw it away, what can you do to me?" Duan Tingxuan acted like a young master, weighing half a peach in his hand, but he didn't dare to really throw it away.
"Do you believe me, I won't let you have any delicious food?"
Su Nuannuan's threat was absolutely powerful for Duan Tingxuan. However, the young marquis was not moved at all. A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said proudly: "Do you think you can stop me?"
"I can't stop you." Su Nuannuan sat down. Youyou smiled and dropped another bombshell: "But I can choose not to do it."
The effect was immediate. The young marquis was so angry that he opened his mouth and bit the remaining half of the peach in one bite. He raised the peach pit in his hand to show Su Nuannuan, and shouted: "How can a man be threatened by a woman? I say throw it away, so what?" After saying that, he raised his hand and threw the peach pit away.
Su Nuannuan looked at Duan Tingxuan with admiration: "I have always heard of people who can bend and stretch. I didn't expect to meet a representative person who can bend and stretch today. What is Han Xin? He just crawled under his crotch. Unlike the young marquis, he was obviously bent, but he still showed such a majestic spirit of stretching. He is simply an extremely rare and wonderful flower."
"Duan Tingxuan, I admire you." Su Nuannuan gave a thumbs up, and finally made the young marquis feel a little embarrassed. He coughed and waved his hands: "Forget it. I ask you, it's just half a peach. Why don't you allow me to throw it away?"
"Waste food will be punished by God." Su Nuannuan said calmly. Before she finished speaking, she saw Duan Tingxuan's eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise. He shouted exaggeratedly: "What? What did you say, Nuannuan? Waste food will be punished by God? Hahaha, other people can say this. You say this to me? Have you forgotten what kind of person you were before?"
"The Su Mengnuan from the past is dead." Su Nuannuan put on a disheartened expression, speaking with a double meaning.
As expected, Duan Tingxuan's laughter stopped abruptly, and after a while he sat down next to Su Nuannuan. He resumed his carefree and playboy look, and said with a grin, "So you're afraid that I'll be punished by God?"
Su Nuannuan finally couldn't help it and stared at the scumbag's face. She had to admit that this face was really good-looking, with deep and handsome features. The adjective "perfect as a sculpture" that she often saw in novels seemed to be prepared for this kind of appearance. So much so that after Su Nuannuan stared at it for two seconds, she was distracted for a moment, thinking to herself, is this what it feels like to take advantage of a handsome man with your eyes?
Just as she was thinking, she saw that handsome and flamboyant face suddenly move closer. Duan Tingxuan had a playful smile on his face and whispered in Su Nuannuan's ear, "Madam, do you think I'm handsome?" His voice was deep and full of the magnetic charm that belongs to men. How could it not be charming? The tips of their noses were almost touching.
After all, Su Nuannuan's twenty years of life were not in vain. She was no longer at the age of chasing stars, and she had always put food first, so Duan Tingxuan's voice not only did not confuse her, but made her suddenly sober up. She pushed away the head that came close to her and snorted coldly, "What a good-looking ghost."
"It's not good to look at, but you're still stunned?" Duan Tingxuan muttered as he sat up straight, unfolded the folding fan in his hand and waved it elegantly, while shaking his head seriously: "Tsk tsk, you say one thing and mean another."
"You still don't believe me when I tell you that you have no self-awareness." Su Nuannuan's acting skills have obviously improved after these days of training. She said shamelessly without any guilt: "Don't you see that I am studying your face? Oh! I am really worried."
"What's wrong with my face? What are you worried about?" Duan Tingxuan was frightened by her serious tone, and asked while touching his face and frowning.
"I'm looking at how thick your skin is. I'm worried that if it's too thick, you won't be able to grow a beard in the future. Men have to grow beards after they turn 40. If your beard doesn't get through your skin, how will you face people?"
"Do you have to be so mean?" Duan Tingxuan said angrily: "Tell me, how did I offend you? I sent you food, drinks and cloth these days, and you are not grateful, but you don't have to treat me like the enemy who killed your father, right?"
It was rare to see the young marquis so furious. Even when he was chased all over the yard by Su Nuannuan, he always regarded himself as the winner. At this moment, Su Nuannuan saw that the scumbag was so ashamed but dared not get angry. She couldn't help but feel in a good mood and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She felt the laughter in her heart surge, and she was so happy that she simply raised her wrist to cover her mouth and laughed without any scruples.
The laughter echoed like silver bells. Duan Tingxuan stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, who should have been familiar with and disgusted by her: her cloud-like hair was piled up into a bun on her head, and there were no more luxurious jewelry on the bun as before, only a pearl and silver hairpin, which embellished it just right. Furong's face was no longer heavily made up, and although it lacked the exquisiteness that was carefully drawn, her already beautiful appearance added a few strands of "natural beauty, like a lotus in clear water". At this moment, when she smiled, she was really radiant and charming. Her white wrist, which was as white as frost and snow, just covered her mouth, and on her wrist was a emerald green jade bracelet, which swayed slightly with her movements.
"The woman beside the wine shop is like the moon, with white wrists as white as frost and snow."
Duan Tingxuan muttered, but his voice was very low, and Su Nuannuan, who was laughing happily, did not hear it. Now that she had finally laughed enough, she stood up and said with a stern face: "You have shown so many merits, sending food, drinks and clothes, and I am grateful for these. Otherwise, do you think that you can really eat so much of my food with your little means? But since you have done all these, why did I ask you to find a few people to help me renovate the kitchen, but you refused and showed no signs of doing this? Don't you understand that being a good person is to send Buddha to the west?"
Why won't this woman recognize the situation?
Duan Tingxuan thought inwardly, but pretended to have forgotten it. He slapped his forehead and sighed, "I've been so busy these days. How could I remember such a small thing?"
"Really? You really forgot because you were too busy? You still have fantasies in your heart, planning to take me back to the backyard, so you don't want to spend the effort now?" Su Nuannuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression was obviously full of suspicion, but it looked quite charming. The young marquis felt his heart skip a beat, and his mouth seemed a little dry. He didn't dare to look at that pretty face again. If he saw some reaction, wouldn't the tigress beat his little brother half to death?
Thinking of this terrible consequence, the young marquis couldn't help but shudder. He turned his head away without making a sound. He counted on his fingers and began to complain bitterly: "I'm so busy. You don't know that I've been ordered around by the emperor these days..."
"Don't give me that. Two days ago, you were clearly hanging around here every day, eating and drinking for free, and even stealing things." Su Nuannuan mercilessly exposed the loophole in his words.
Duan Tingxuan choked and said awkwardly, "I've been really busy these past two days..." Before he could finish, he saw Su Nuannuan's suspicious look. He couldn't help but get anxious and swore to the sky, "I've been really busy these past two days, otherwise how could I not come to see you?"
"Look for the food I made, not me."
Ignoring Su Nuannuan's obvious emphasis on drawing a line between the two, Duan Tingxuan took a few deep breaths, stretched out his hand to pull his collar slightly loose, and said unhappily: "Something happened in the prince's East Palace the day before yesterday, and I naturally had to help him investigate. I worked day and night for two days, and finally got the result today. I'm really tired and hungry, so when I left the East Palace, I came straight to you, didn't I? Stop talking nonsense, take out whatever is in the kitchen to eat, I think I can eat a cow now."
"You are bragging." Su Nuannuan said with disdain: "Besides, if you are really that hungry, you should rush to the backyard kitchen now. Why are you running to my place? I am too lazy to cook tonight, so I plan to make do with a bowl of porridge and two side dishes."
"The food in the kitchen tastes like grass to me now. Can you expect a wolf that has eaten meat to go back to eat grass?" Duan Tingxuan made a very vivid metaphor, and then held on to the last glimmer of hope and said, "Two side dishes? Which two?" Hmm! If it's thin-fat pickled meat and wine lees chicken feet, that's not bad.
The young marquis thought secretly, but heard Su Nuannuan said very ruthlessly: "Salted radish strips, pickled cabbage roots, do you want to eat? This is enough."
"No way? You can't be so cruel." Duan Tingxuan screamed, but Su Nuannuan said earnestly: "You have been working for the prince for the past two days without sleep or food. Your stomach has been hungry for so long, it is most appropriate to eat some porridge and pickles."
