Chapter 146 - 146 My Wife
146 My Wife
To Qin Minghong’s disappointment, Ji Zhao did not agree immediately.
“It’s my honor to be able to invite Young Master Qin to dinner. However, I have to discuss this with my husband. It’s better to follow your husband after you get married!” Ji Zhao smiled sincerely.
“It seems that Miss Ji is very close to your husband?” Qin Minghong lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in them. “It’s just that Miss Ji doesn’t look very old. Why are you married so early?”
“Marriage is a big matter. Of course, it’s decided by parents.” Ji Zhao smiled and changed the topic. “Young Master Qin, I have to go back. Shall we part ways here?”
“It just so happens that I’m leaving too. Shall we go together?”
“…Alright.”
No matter what, he had helped her out just now. It would be strange if she did not give him face.
Ji Zhao cursed in her heart. In the end, she walked out of the backyard of the Ma Residence with Qin Minghong.
The warm early autumn sun shone with a golden glow on the man’s body, coating him with a faint golden light, making him look like an immortal.
“Shen Yao!” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and rushed to Shen Yao, who was waiting under the parasol tree. She showed the cloth bag in her hand as if she was presenting a treasure. “Look, I picked a lot of osmanthus flowers!”
“Are you tired?” Shen Yao took off the water bag on his waist and handed it to her. “You’ve been busy all day. Are you thirsty?”
“Mm!”
Seeing such a warm scene, Qin Minghong felt a little disconcerted.
According to his investigation, Ji Ah Tao should have been sold to the Shen family, but how could her relationship with the third son of the Shen family be so close?
This was too illogical.
“This water is so sweet?” After taking a big gulp of water, Ji Zhao narrowed her eyes happily.
“Mm, I specially stewed the water with lilies and pears, so it’s sweeter,” Shen Yao explained softly. Then, he held her hand. “Shall we go home?”
“Wait a minute.” Ji Zhao gently squeezed his palm and explained softly, “Just now, something happened in the backyard of the Ma Residence. It was Young Master Qin who helped resolve the situation.”
Ji Zhao honestly told Shen Yao what happened 15 minutes ago. Finally, she asked, “Can we treat Young Master Qin to a meal to express our gratitude?”
“Of course.” Shen Yao smiled generously and walked up to Qin Minghong. He said gratefully, “Thank you for helping my wife just now.”
The words ‘my wife’ sounded a little harsh to Qin Minghong’s ears.
“If Young Master Qin doesn’t mind, we’re willing to treat you to a meal.” Shen Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled gently. “There’s no time like the present. How about tonight? I wonder if Young Master Qin is used to street food?”
“There’s a chicken soup wonton on West Street. It tastes good.” Shen Yao smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. “But Young Master Qin might not be used to it.”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Qin Minghong pretended to not understand what he meant. He looked at Ji Zhao and nodded slightly. “It’s my honor to be able to have dinner with Miss Ji.”
Ji Zhao felt that there was a hidden meaning in their conversation.
However, she was too lazy to think about it because she was really hungry now!
The three of them walked to West Street together and ordered three big bowls of chicken soup wontons.
“How fragrant!” Ji Zhao took a whiff of the alluring fragrance and impatiently picked up the spoon.
“Be careful, it’s hot,” Shen Yao said quickly.
“I’m… I’m fine…” Ji Zhao fanned her mouth as she exhaled. “It’s so hot…”
She was really famished. That was why she put such a hot wonton into her mouth.
“Some water?”
“Wipe your mouth?”
The two men on her left and right spoke at the same time and handed her something at the same time.
