Kang Ningxia finally made up for the missed lunch break by having a hearty meal. Picking his teeth, he sat on a chair with one leg crossed in a rather unrefined manner, not forgetting to sarcastically say, "We're sisters, Miss Shu...why are you so different from your sister?"
Shu Jiaying deliberately twisted Kang Ningxia's meaning: "Since my sister and I are so different, I don't mind you asking my sister to be your cook."
"Oh...forget it. I can't say enough good things about your sister's cooking skills."
Shu Jiaying laughed: "Now that you've eaten and drunk enough, you wouldn't want to occupy my place all night and not go back, right?"
"Hehe... why are you in such a hurry? My eldest brother hasn't said he's leaving yet. Why don't you sit down for a while and talk? By the way, Miss Shu, is your marriage to my eldest brother real?"
When Kang Ningxia brought up this matter for no reason, Shu Jiaying said shyly, "Ask your eldest brother yourself. I'll see if the water is ready. I'll go run Xiaohua a bath."
"Don't be anxious, sister-in-law..."
Hearing this name, Shu Jiaying ran even faster.
Kang Ningxia smiled at Shu Jiaying's back. He kept sighing, "What a shame! Actually, Miss Shu and I are the ones who are truly destined to be together. After all, I was the one who gave her that knife in the back when we first met... Eh?"
Unexpectedly, Shu Jiaying, who had walked into the kitchen, made a surprise comeback. When Kang Ningxia accidentally looked up and saw Shu Jiaying standing at the door, he almost bit his tongue and forced a fake smile. He tried to change the subject and said, "Miss Shu...is the water ready?"
Shu Jiaying smiled coldly and walked slowly to Kang Ningxia.
Pulling Kang Ningxia's hand, Shu Jiaying pressed hard on his painful spot at the base of his thumb.
“Wow wow wow wow…”
Kang Ningxia immediately screamed in pain, tears in his eyes, and asked aggrievedly, "Miss Shu, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I saw your tongue was very thickly coated when we were eating just now. I wasn't sure, so I came over to take your pulse."
"But shouldn't you feel the pulse at the wrist? Why did you feel the back of my hand?"
"Yeah, so I remember the day I went to Fengyun Town. I was just passing by the market, and how did your knife get stuck in my back? You... you made me search for you so hard!"
Speaking of which...
Kang Ningxia really wanted to tear out his tongue. How could he be so stupid? Why did he bring up this matter at this time? Wasn't he seeking death?
Putting on a pitiful look, Kang Ningxia begged for mercy: "Miss Shu is sorry, sister-in-law is sorry, please forgive me, and let me go. As for that matter, it was actually a complete misunderstanding."
"Since it's a misunderstanding, why don't you stab me back?"
"No, no, no... We're almost family now, and you're just poking me like this. It's really hurtful. And I made amends afterward. Didn't I have you sent back to Guangming Village, and I even paid you ten taels of silver as compensation?"
"snort!"
After hearing what Kang Ningxia said, Shu Jiaying finally let him go. She felt that this young man still had some conscience, and Kang Ningxia's ten taels of silver did help her overcome many difficulties.
Clapping her hands, Shu Jiaying said cheerfully, "Forget it. I'll keep this in mind for now. But Mr. Kang, you must remember that you once owed me a knife. I will definitely make you pay it back when I have the chance in the future."
