“Old woman, what are you talking about? Hurry up and cook two more bowls of dumplings.” The old man shouted.
“Yes, I’ll be right there,” the old woman replied. However, she did not go over immediately. Instead, she went up to Shen Yijia and said, “Young lady, let me tell you, if you want to capture a man’s heart, you have to capture his stomach first.”
“If he gets used to your cooking, I guarantee that he won’t be able to leave you in the future. I’ve been through it…”
With that, the old woman went to work.
Song Jingchen heard her words and was speechless when he thought of Shen Yijia’s culinary skills.
Seeing Shen Yijia’s thoughtful expression, his heart skipped a beat. He quietly fed her and said, “You don’t need to know how to cook. Mother is at home. If Mother isn’t around, I’ll cook for you.”
He had never cooked before, but in the past, he often roasted meat to fill his stomach. The taste was not bad.
The stall owner mentioned that if you captured someone’s stomach, they wouldn’t be able to leave you. He could try.
Shen Yijia still didn’t know that Song Jingchen had embarked on a path of feeding her.
After hearing his words, she didn’t notice anything wrong. However, she felt a sweet sensation in her heart. She swallowed the wonton stew in her mouth again and was about to feed Song Jingchen one when she realized that the bowl was already empty…
Unknowingly, Song Jingchen had fed her an entire bowl of wonton stew.
“Why didn’t you eat it yourself?!” Shen Yijia regretted that he didn’t get to eat such a delicious stew.
Just as she was about to ask the old lady to cook another bowl, Song Jingchen quickly stopped her. He picked up a spoon and scooped some soup into his mouth. He pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes, it’s indeed delicious. I’m not hungry, so don’t order anymore.”
Shen Yijia blinked and leaned over to whisper, “You used the spoon I ate to drink the soup. Are we indirectly kissing?”
Ever since that incident, Song Jingchen slept far away from her, claiming that the weather was too hot.
Song Jingchen didn’t miss the slyness in her eyes. He fell silent and nodded slightly. “Yes.”
Shen Yijia couldn’t help but laugh. The two of them were sitting opposite each other, with a small square table between them. She stood up and leaned towards him. She said softly, “If you want to kiss me, just say it. Why are you so tactful? It’s not like I won’t let you kiss me.”
After saying that, she gently planted a kiss on Song Jingchen’s lips and deliberately licked his lips before leaving.
She looked at Song Jingchen with sparkling eyes and saw that the tips of his ears had turned red again.
Shen Yijia was overjoyed. How could he be so cute? However, she did not dare to show it on her face. Otherwise, she would not be able to take advantage of her beautiful husband again next time.
Song Jingchen didn’t know what Shen Yijia was thinking. His eyes darkened. “This little vixen…” he thought.
“Mother, what are the two of them doing?”
A child’s voice suddenly came from the side. Shen Yijia was stunned and turned around. A little girl was holding a stick of candied hawthorn and staring at her and Song Jingchen curiously.
“That big brother refused to eat, so that big sister kissed him to coax him to eat!” A woman at the side blushed and left with the little girl.
“Just like how you coax me when I don’t eat usually?” The girl suddenly understood. Then, she said, “Big Brother is so old, why aren’t you eating properly? Shame on you…”
Shen Yijia couldn’t hear anything else. She looked at Song Jingchen’s darkened face and laughed irresponsibly. She reached out and gestured, imitating the girl’s voice. “Shame, shame!”
Song Jingchen was speechless.
A smile touched his lips.
Shen Yijia was stunned. Before she could recover from his handsome face, she felt a pain on her face.
She widened her eyes in disbelief at Song Jingchen, who was pinching her cheeks with both hands. Was this really something her beautiful husband could do? How childish!
Song Jingchen originally wanted Shen Yijia to beg for mercy, but he felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He let go of her and leaned back in his wheelchair. He coughed dryly. “Let’s go after you’re done eating.”
“Oh, okay.” Shen Yijia rubbed her face and put on the fox mask. She then took out a black rabbit mask for Song Jingchen.
The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched. Seeing that Shen Yijia was in high spirits, he swallowed his words of refusal.
Shen Yijia tidied his hair in satisfaction and muttered, “It’s a pity that the wolf mask there is too ugly. Otherwise, I could have brought that.”
Then, she would be a big gray wolf hunting a little rabbit!
Song Jingchen did not comment on it.
However, this did not affect Shen Yijia’s good mood at all. She walked around and bought two lanterns to hang from the rafters when she went back.
“Hubby, there’s a stage over there.” Shen Yijia pointed in a direction for Song Jingchen to see.
Song Jingchen asked, “Do you want to see it?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Then let’s go over.”
Shen Yijia smiled sweetly at him and pushed the wheelchair in a different direction.
Before they could squeeze in, Shen Yijia saw Xiao Ruoshui and Fan Mingyuan.
The two of them stood out in the crowd. It was mainly because Xiao Ruoshui’s red clothes were too eye-catching. Those who didn’t know better would think that a bride was running around.
The surroundings were too noisy. Shen Yijia called out “Ruoshui” a few times, but the two of them didn’t hear her. Her attention was focused on the two of them, but Song Jingchen stared at the stage and frowned.
He was about to remind her that there were too many people here, so it might be better to skip the show.
With a loud bang, the crowd in front suddenly panicked. It was unknown who bumped into Shen Yijia, but her hand that was pushing the wheelchair was knocked away.
Shen Yijia was shocked. She couldn’t care less about Xiao Ruoshui and quickly turned around to look for Song Jingchen.
However, at a glance, it was filled with people. Song Jingchen was nowhere to be seen. Not only that, but the crowd was also constantly squeezing back. Shen Yijia was sandwiched in the middle and was forced to retreat.
Seeing that she was getting further and further away from where she was just now, Shen Yijia panicked. She tore off her fox mask and tried to push the people around her away.
“Jiajia?” Xiao Ruoshui’s voice sounded. Shen Yijia turned around and realized that Xiao Ruoshui, who was originally in front of her, had been squeezed behind her.
Shen Yijia grabbed Xiao Ruoshui’s hand and pulled her to her side.
“Have you seen my husband?”
“Did you see Brother Yuan?”
“No.”
“No.”
The two of them spoke at the same time. Shen Yijia frowned and stopped talking. She pulled Xiao Ruoshui out.
There were too many people here, and she couldn’t push them aside. The only thing she was glad about now was that Song Jingchen’s legs had recovered.
In a courtyard not far from where Shen Yijia and Song Jingchen were separated, one sat and the other stood.
“The heir Song Jingchen? I’ve heard a lot about you.” A man wearing a fang mask and a black cloak stood ten steps away from Song Jingchen and looked down at him.
