Xiao Mingyan had just arrived home when he heard the noise outside, and he was about to go out to greet them.
"The female master has returned."
His gentle gaze suddenly turned cold when it fell on the figure behind her.
He stepped forward, naturally taking the bulging animal skin bag from Ling Yunxi's hand, and opened his arms to embrace her completely.
It was a firm and possessive embrace.
His chin rested gently on her shoulder, but his gaze did not fall down.
Those eyes passed over her slender shoulders and landed precisely and without deviation on the male face behind her.
Beneath his slightly drooping hair, a deep-seated possessiveness surged in his silver-gray eyes, as he gave him a seemingly casual glance that appeared to be an unintentional notice of him.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Mingyan's lips.
He then lowered his eyes and tightened his arms around her back.
Xiao Mingyan's subtle body language, which exuded hostility towards him, did not escape Mo Yanche's notice.
He raised an eyebrow and stood not far behind Ling Yunxi, arms crossed, watching the two's intimate actions. After a while, one corner of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a cold and mocking arc.
“Mingyan.” Ling Yunxi stood up.
Turning around, they looked at Mo Yanche behind them, who was now watching them with amusement.
Ling Yunxi's face suddenly felt hot.
Mo Yanche's quiet arrival was unexpected.
“Last time I went out, I fainted outside, and Mo Yanche saved me. As a way of thanking him, I plan to invite him to our house for a meal.”
"oh?"
Xiao Mingyan's voice was deep and magnetic as she looked at the male in front of her, who was the most hated female in the wolf clan, with a hint of inquiry and wariness in her eyes.
After Ling Yunxi gave Xiao Mingyan a brief explanation, she walked up to Mo Yanche.
"Mo Yanche, welcome to our home. Please come in and have a seat. Dinner will be ready soon."
When Mo Yanche heard her call him by his full name, he frowned slightly and looked down at the female in front of him.
She used to always call him that...
cough.
Mo Yanche followed Ling Yunxi inside.
As they passed Xiao Mingyan, they caught a fleeting glance and their eyes met.
In an instant, undercurrents began to stir.
A subtle atmosphere filled the air.
"Mo Yanche, there are chairs and fruit here. Why don't you sit down and have some fruit?"
Ling Yunxi washed the fruit and placed it on the wooden table in the hall.
This was the first time Mo Yanche had entered her residence.
Unexpectedly, a tree appeared in front of me as soon as I entered.
Some dried herbs were placed against the wall of the courtyard.
A faint herbal scent can be smelled when you pass by.
Xiao Mingyan picked up a herb and showed it to the female, saying, "The female said this is a herb that clears heat and detoxifies; drinking it can reduce internal heat."
After Xiao Mingyan finished speaking, he looked at him with a slight smile.
Mo Yanche remained silent, shifting his gaze.
"This is meat that the female master has cured. If you can't finish it, you can salt it and put it in the sun to dry. It can be preserved for a long time."
Mo Yanche frowned slightly.
Xiao Mingyan appeared to be warmly welcoming him, but in reality, she was intentionally or unintentionally making a declaration in front of him.
"Mingyan, bag!"
Ling Yunxi's clear voice rang out.
Mo Yanche turned his head and saw her waving to Xiao Mingyan in the hall. In the sunset scene, her features were lively and full of life.
Mo Yanche's eyes widened slightly.
This was the first time he had seen her like this.
Confidence and self-assurance emanating from within.
"Okay." Xiao Mingyan replied and walked past Mo Yanche.
After receiving the package, Ling Yunxi went into the kitchen with Xiao Mingyan to prepare dinner.
Mo Yanche withdrew his gaze and moved into the hall.
The room was clean and tidy, with tables and chairs neatly arranged.
The facilities are few, but the place is very cozy.
A bouquet of fresh flowers was placed on the table by the wall.
He walked over, intending to look at the flowers, but instead saw a notebook on the table.
This was a type of paper he had never seen before—it was delicate and smooth to the touch.
He opened it and looked through it; some of it was animal script he recognized, while the rest he couldn't understand.
But her notes show that she put in a lot of effort.
"They're quite diligent."
Mo Yanche said silently.
"bite--"
"Mo Yanche's aversion value decreased by 2, and there are 60 points left to complete the mission."
Ling Yunxi, who was washing lichen in the kitchen, paused for a moment.
What did Mo Yanche do to suddenly lower his opinion of her?
She hasn't even started showing off her cooking skills yet.
"Mistress, what is this?"
Xiao Mingyan cut the meat and brought it over.
"This is lichen, a wild vegetable that has extremely high requirements for its environment."
Ling Yunxi had already washed it once, so she only needed to wash it again this time.
"The female master is really amazing, she even knows this."
Xiao Mingyan looked at the wild vegetables in her hand, recalling the scene he had witnessed during the day…
His deep eyes deepened.
"Mingyan, get the plate."
Xiao Mingyan didn't come to his senses until Ling Yunxi called him.
His sinister gaze softened instantly. "Okay."
Mo Yanche was attracted by the fragrance.
He stood at the kitchen doorway, watching the two of them get along harmoniously and work together, his eyes flickering slightly.
He inadvertently revealed a surprised expression.
Although I knew she had changed, I was still incredulous to see her cooking herself.
The skillful tossing motions suggest that the person has done this kind of work quite a bit.
"Mo Yanche's aversion value decreased by 2, and there are 58 points left to complete the mission objective."
"Do you need any help?"
Mo Yanche spoke.
"No need, it'll be ready soon."
Ling Yunxi served the last dish.
At the dinner table.
