Butler Zhang paused in collecting the dishes, thinking the female demon had not given up her wicked intentions yet.
Yi Yanteng's heart began to beat faster.
Xie Jiang took out a white porcelain bottle from her purse, intending to place it on the table. Seeing Butler Zhang's defensive posture, she immediately changed her mind.
She subtly put the porcelain bottle back and walked towards Yi Yanteng with a smile.
Butler Zhang felt she was looking at his master with a lecherous gaze, and countless unhealthy images flashed through his mind.
Xie Jiang grabbed Yi Yanteng's hand and slowly caressed each finger, as if ready to bite.
Butler Zhang dared not look directly at his master, especially when he shouldn't be looking. His head felt like it wanted to stick to his ribs, but his peripheral vision was uncontrollable...
Yi Yanteng found it amusing and exasperating. Butler Zhang was old and his eyesight was failing, but he could see clearly. "Why are you teasing him? It's very late, and you're not feeling well. Go to bed early..."
Though her fingers were being tickled, his heart trembled with an itch.
Xie Jiang smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth. "I can't sleep right after eating. How about we do some exercise to aid digestion..."
Butler Zhang: Beast! (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!
"You only ate half a bowl."
"Half a bowl is enough to make me full."
"Stop fooling around."
"It's so boring sleeping alone." She looked up at him pitifully, her eyes full of reluctance.
Butler Zhang: Shameless! Utterly shameless!
"Then..." Yi Yanteng thought seriously, "Shall I find you a book to read?"
"Yi Yanteng! What's wrong with you? Go, go, go! Leave quickly!" What book would one read in the middle of the night! Is it as good-looking as you are!
Xie Jiang's temper flared instantly. She took out the white porcelain bottle and threw it into Yi Yanteng's arms. "One pill, morning and night!"
She pushed and kicked him out.
Annoying thing!
Butler Zhang quickly ran off, carrying the food box.
With a loud bang, the door closed behind them.
Yi Yanteng looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, a smile playing on his lips.
After standing in the outer room for a while, hearing her get into bed, he then walked towards the study.
Butler Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed silently.
What about the promised Wangchuan water? He drank it for nothing.
How could things be returning to how they were before?
It was simply unbelievable!
...
"Young Master Xie, Young Master Xie... Are you not awake yet? Young Master Xie..."
Xu Hengyi knocked on the door for a long time without a response, so he peeked through the crack in the door.
Suddenly, he was kicked in the backside, and Xu Hengyi fell into the room.
"Who is it!"
Xu Hengyi got up angrily, ready to beat up the person who kicked him. But when he turned around, he realized it was Xie Jiang standing at the door. kuAiδugg
"Young Master Xie? When did you go out?"
Thinking of his actions just now, he quickly waved his hand to explain, "I wasn't peeking, I swear. I just called out to you for a long time and didn't hear anything. I thought you had fainted from sleep."
Xie Jiang naturally knew he wasn't peeking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just received a kick; his dog head would have soared to the highest heavens.
"Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"
"To have breakfast together." Seeing her refreshed appearance, clearly having returned from outside, Xu Hengyi couldn't help but ask, "You're up quite early. When did you go out?"
"Last night."
"Last night? When did you go out last night? How come I didn't know? Didn't you say you weren't familiar with the capital and wanted me to be your guide? Why didn't you call me when you left the mansion?"
Xie Jiang walked into the room, placed the basket on the table, took out a paper bag, and tossed it to Xu Hengyi. "I've already had breakfast. This is for you."
Xu Hengyi curiously opened the paper bag. Inside were strips of orange things, emitting a faint sweet fragrance. "What is this? Food? It looks quite nice."
"Dried sweet potato."
Bait to catch your second brother.
Didn't Xu Hengyan care about agriculture and worry about farmers going hungry? Here comes the grain that can fill their stomachs.
Xu Hengyi took one and put it in his mouth, his eyes lighting up. "It's delicious, a little sweet."
The sweetness was very faint, not cloying at all.
Xu Hengyi took another one and examined it, looking at the layer of white frost on the dried sweet potato. "Is this coated with frost sugar? It doesn't taste like it."
Xie Jiang poured herself a cup of water. "This is the natural potato sugar it emits."
Xu Hengyi ate three dried sweet potatoes in a row, nodding as he ate. "I've never eaten this before. Which family makes it? My grandmother would probably like it too. When my grandmother gets better and can eat snacks, I'll buy some for her."
Xie Jiang looked at his unsophisticated appearance. "I made it myself."
"You actually know how to cook?!"
