2 – Honey, You Go First…
Shi Yuan looked at the two bowls of soup, her moist lips pursed slightly as she lifted her gaze to the man standing before her.
A sudden mischievous impulse rose in her heart. Leaning forward slightly, she tugged at the man’s sleeve. “Husband, could you bring one over for me?”
After speaking, she raised her delicate chin and stared unblinkingly, waiting for his reaction.
Unexpectedly, the man showed little reaction to those two words. Instead, he complied with her request and brought the soup over.
Holding the milky-white soup in her hands, Shi Yuan suddenly felt she’d dug her own grave.
Jiang Yu’s eyes sparkled with amusement. “Didn’t you ask me to bring it over? Why aren’t you drinking it?”
Shi Yuan pressed her lips together briefly before smiling again. “I’m in no hurry. You drink first, husband.”
She stood up and smilingly brought the spoon to the man’s lips.
Soon, the pure white soup stained his lips…
Shi Yuan watched as he pursed his lips, then grasped her slender, pale hand and drank the spoonful of soup with lowered lashes.
Shi Yuan only felt her captured hand growing warm, her whole body beginning to feel unsettled.
The Old Butler watched from nearby with a pleased smile. “Young Master and Young Mistress are so affectionate. The Old Master would be delighted to know.”
Chuckling, the Old Butler handed over the other bowl of soup.
“The Old Master instructed me to watch until both Young Master and Young Mistress finish their soup before leaving, so this bowl must be drunk together.”
Shi Yuan: “……”
Jiang Yu released the small hand he’d been holding, glanced at the girl’s already withdrawn fingers, then accepted the soup bowl from the Old Butler.
Looking at the spoon Jiang Yu had already used, Shi Yuan clenched her beautiful fingers tightly.
She simply grabbed the spoon and drank the entire bowl in one go along the rim!
Admittedly, though the soup’s purpose was improper, its taste was quite decent.
Shi Yuan licked her lips, savoring the soup’s flavor.
Just as she was about to put down the bowl, the man beside her lowered his head and leaned closer.
“So impatient?”
His deep, resonant voice whispered by her ear, so captivating it could make one’s whole body tingle, causing Shi Yuan to shiver.
She instinctively glanced toward where the Old Butler stood, only to find him tilting his head, seemingly lost in thought while staring at a vase.
No need to guess – the Old Butler had seen everything!
Noticing Shi Yuan’s reaction, Jiang Yu chuckled softly before leisurely finishing his own soup.
Seeing they had finished drinking, the Old Butler decided not to play the third wheel, quickly gathered the items, and promptly withdrew.
Perhaps due to the soup’s effects, Shi Yuan soon began feeling unusual.
Sensations of numbness gradually spread throughout her body…
Suppressing the restlessness within, she turned to look at her nominal husband.
Even after seeing him multiple times, Shi Yuan couldn’t help but marvel – the villain’s physique was absolutely impeccable!
A dark, austerely elegant shirt, snow-white skin, paired with that temptingly roguish face.
It was truly unbearable!
The girl blinked, slightly raising her head to reveal her delicate, graceful neck.
“Where should I sleep?”
The man observed the girl’s gradually pinkening neck and flushed earlobes, feeling his throat tighten slightly.
Breathing slowly, he suppressed his emotions and replied in a lowered voice, “Next door.”Shi Yuan, however, found his gaze lingering on the other’s Adam’s apple, unable to look away.
