Tremella, lily, red bean and lotus seeds were cooked into a bowl of sweet soup with fresh fragrance. Chen Jie glanced at the visitor and asked, "Cousin, what can I do for you?"
Today is a day off, so Du Yaoyao strikes while the iron is hot and invites Lin Shuwan over.
Lin Shuwan said, "Yaoyao asked me to come here. She wants you to accompany her to the Marquis' Mansion, her parents' house, to urge her to go and apologize."
The words were not very clear, but Shen Jie understood them. Du Yaoyao seduced Song Xingkai, but given her aunt Du's petty nature, she would never let it go.
"If she wants to ask someone to do something for her, why doesn't she come herself?" Shen Jie asked back.
The tone was so matter-of-fact that Lin Shuwan was speechless for a moment.
Maybe the young man scared her by seeing blood a few days ago, Shen Jie was a little irritated, "Tell her to come here by herself."
“Okay.” Lin Shuwan sensed Shen Jie’s impatience.
“Also, you don’t need to meddle in what happens between me and her.” Shen Jie immediately added.
Lin Shuwan felt a little sad. After not seeing each other for some time, it sounded like my cousin was not completely annoyed with Du Yaoyao.
"That's nothing, cousin, I'm leaving first."
"Yeah." Chen Jie didn't try to persuade him to stay.
–
Du Yaoyao was happily waiting for the good news from Lin Shuwan, but what she got was the news that her cousin had left without saying goodbye.
"My cousin came out of the master's study, looking not very well, and went straight back home in the carriage." Yin Ye reported.
"Ah?" Du Yaoyao was surprised. Would he be scolded for speaking up for her?
"Did she leave any message?"
"Yes," Yin Ye said, "My lord, let the lady go by herself."
I don't want to face him the most! Du Yaoyao sighed and asked again: "Have you drunk the sweet soup that was sent to you?"
Yin Ye shook his head.
This shouldn’t be the case, Du Yaoyao wondered. In the original book, Chen Jie had a little quirk. He liked to eat sweet food. He usually didn't show his emotions on his face, but he liked it behind the scenes.
I guess he doesn’t want to eat it since he knows the sweet soup was made by her.
After being almost cheated on by his wife, he still had to accompany her to apologize. Even if she was only his wife in name, it was still a little humiliating for a man. Not to mention, he was a notorious ruthless and powerful official.
You bastard, you’ve been cheated on for several years and you’re still not used to it! It’s getting more and more difficult!
Du Yaoyao was a slow-witted person. She didn't go out until the moon came out in the evening.
Chen Jie was not in the study room, he went to the bedroom to sleep. She had no choice but to shamelessly disturb him.
The man who works so hard every day actually rested so early tonight. Du Yaoyao couldn't help but wonder if he had made time for this to mess with her on purpose.
Du Yaoyao was dressed warmly and her purpose was clear, with absolutely no intention of seducing anyone.
She was not moved by lust either. Last time in the study, she opened her legs wide and was soaking wet. He would rather take a shower to cool down than leave her.
Perhaps, she was not the woman he wanted to sleep with...
It’s better to just ask for help honestly, and ask the male protagonist to be so kind as to help.
Chen Jie is resting. Du Yaoyao walked in. He was wearing a plain white shirt, with his black hair slightly loose. He was leaning on the bed reading a book.
Her profile is stern, her fingers are slender, she is really a beauty.
If you have a mobile phone, just take a picture. It will definitely be a great photo of the male protagonist in an ancient idol drama.
When Shen Jie heard the noise, he paused turning the pages of the book but did not make a sound.
Du Yaoyao took a few steps closer and made small talk, "Have you drunk the sweet soup I cooked today?"
"Not yet." Shen Jie looked up at her.
"Oh, then I'll ask someone to warm it up and bring it to you," Du Yaoyao pretended to go out, and added, "I've been up all day."
"Okay." Shen Jie responded hesitantly.
The kitchen soon brought over the hot sweet soup. Du Yaoyao took it, lifted the porcelain lid and took a look. Sure enough, it was intact and she hadn't tasted a single bite.
This was the loving sweet soup that she had carefully prepared despite her sick body, but Chen Jie was too ungrateful and ungrateful.
If he doesn’t want to drink it later, I’ll finish it myself and have it as a midnight snack, humph.
Du Yaoyao put the sweet soup on the table and told him, "You can drink it now."
The steps are still.
Du Yaoyao glanced over. Was he afraid that it would taste bad? She walked to the bed with the porcelain bowl, scooped a spoonful, and asked tentatively: "How about you try it first?"
Chen Jie stared at her, neither agreeing nor refusing, with no expression on his face.
A man’s heart is as unfathomable as the sea. Du Yaoyao was confused. He had just agreed to have the hot sweet soup, but now he didn't give a definite answer as to whether she would drink it or not.
"Are you afraid that it won't taste good if it's heated?" Du Yaoyao muttered to herself, lowering her head and drinking half a spoonful of the sweet soup. It was sweet and refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth.
She said honestly: "The taste hasn't changed much, it's delicious..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Jie suddenly grabbed her wrist, leaned over and sipped the half spoonful of sweet soup she hadn't finished.
"That's because I didn't finish drinking..." Du Yaoyao was shocked. Is he so willing to let bygones be bygones that he could drink a bowl of sweet soup with her?
"Very sweet." Shen Jie licked his lips with a smile in his eyes.
His gaze was so naked, as if he was not licking her mouth, but her. Du Yaoyao's heart was pounding and she felt like she had a fever behind her ears.
Male lead, do you know that you are teasing me? !
Du Yaoyao bit her lip, her cheeks flushed slightly, and handed him the porcelain bowl in her hand, "Drink it yourself, I'm going to the bathroom."
Shen Jie took it slowly.
Du Yaoyao washed her face with cold water in the bathroom, trying to calm her embarrassed mood.
He accepted the sweet soup that was served to him, but he refused to drink it. But he was only interested after she had tasted it. Behind the seemingly flirting, he was actually on guard against her.
He was afraid that she would poison him!
