He was afraid that if he didn’t agree, she would make him sleep in the study room again.
Seeing Zhao Zhan nod his head, Yue Jiaojiao let go of her hand and said obediently, “Then go quickly. Remember to add more chili when you marinate the meat.”
Seeing her like this, Zhao Zhan’s eyes also had a hint of a smile. When he stood up, he turned around suddenly while his lover was not paying attention. His hands were on the side of the bed, and his eyes were so bright that it seemed like he wanted to drown her in them.
“Jiaojiao?”
Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in shock. In the next second, he was enveloped by Zhao Zhan’s powerful scent.
His lover ached her weak body upward. Zhao Zhan gently turned around for a moment before leaving. He rubbed the tip of his nose against her and said hoarsely, “Get well soon, okay?”
Yue Jiaojiao covered her reddened face and nodded obediently.
It was fatal.
When did this silly, rough man learn these tricks?!
Was this considered a win?
Before Zhao Zhan went to the shop, he bought some meat from a meat stall.
“Zhao Zhan!” Fang Tianliu saw him enter and quickly threw away the rag in his hand. He said excitedly, “You’re finally here! If you didn’t come, I wouldn’t know what to do!”
Zhao Zhan looked at his crescent-white robe, which was now covered in dust and dirt. He hid the meat behind his back and avoided the arm that was placed on him.
“It’s been a while. How come your clothes are so dirty? Did you fall into a pit when you were walking?”
“Zhao Zhan, don’t bother about him.” Li Xiangjun carried a basin of water in from the backyard. “I told him yesterday that I’m going to clean up the shop today, but look at him. He’s dressed like a scholar and in white. I think he’s just trying to be lazy.”
“I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Fang Tianliu looked at Zhao Zhan and felt extremely wronged!
To think that he, Fang Tianliu, a dignified young master, had only spent so much effort on food for so many years. This was the first time he had spent two hours dressing up for a lady!
However, not only did she not look at him, but she even seemed to dislike his attitude!
“Zhao Zhan,” Fang Tianliu frowned as he looked at Zhao Zhan, “Is it because I built a house for you in Willow Village and that caused my face to turn ugly?”
Zhao Zhan was at a loss for words as he watched him take a step back. “I can’t tell. But your current state…”
Zhao Zhan looked him up and down.
Putting aside the fact that his clothes were dirty, he didn’t know how he had cleaned them. His face was also covered in dust, and even the jade hairpin on his head was crooked.
Seeing that Fang Tianliu’s expression was worsening, Zhao Zhan thought for a moment and squeezed out two words, “It’s alright.”
Thinking of what his sweetheart had asked him to find out, Zhao Zhan asked directly, “Do you have a concubine in your house?”
Fang Tianliu’s eyes lit up.
He must have asked this because he wanted Xiangjun to see him in a new light!
The more Fang Tianliu thought about it, the more he felt that way. He looked at Li Xiangjun, who was not far away from him and cleared his throat with a proud look on his face. “Of course not! Women are the most troublesome. How can I let random strangers into my place and do what they want!”
“Yeah, women are so troublesome. You’d better stay away from women for the rest of your life! Hello, you’re not even as strong as me!”
Zhao Zhan hurriedly carried the meat and walked far away. He could not interfere in the matters between the two of them. Anyway, he had already inquired about it. Li Xiangjun also knew about it now. He just had to complete the task that his lover told him to do!
“Xiangjun, you can’t say that.” Fang Tianliu moved closer to her shamelessly. “Women may be troublesome and meddle in things sometimes, but I believe you definitely won’t.”
