Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

"Are you hot?"

Xu Yuanfei looked up blankly. "Huh? I… I'm fine."

"Then, why is your face so red, and why do you keep fidgeting?" Jing Hanchuan frowned.

"Maybe it's really a little hot." Xu Yuanfei pretended to tug at her collar.

At this moment, she was not only hot but also a little nervous. "I forgot to call home. I'm going out for a bit."

With that, she fled.

When they were eating, because there were only the two of them, they sat very close to each other.

Xu Yuanfei was really not good at peeling crabs, but she was too embarrassed to bite them in front of him, so she ate very aggrievedly.

On the other hand, Jing Hanchuan handled a crab neatly with his chopsticks, dipped a piece of crab meat in his sauce bowl, and brought it over his plate. His posture was elegant and proper.

Before the food reached his mouth, he raised the piece of crab meat dipped in sauce and brought it to Xu Yuanfei's mouth. "Do you want to try my sauce?"

The two of them had different dipping sauces. Jing Hanchuan had put more ginger, so the taste was slightly heavier.

"Huh?" Xu Yuanfei was a little dumbfounded.

Her mind was a little blank, and her scalp was numb. She didn't know if she should open her mouth and eat it. While she was hesitating, her ears turned so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

"If you don't eat now, the sauce will drip."

Xu Yuanfei hesitated for two seconds. She supported herself with her arm on the table, leaned forward, and opened her mouth to eat the piece of crab meat.

She seemed to have lost her sense of taste. She couldn't taste anything, but her heart was hot.

She saw that Jing Hanchuan was still holding the chopsticks that he had used to feed her. He lowered his head and continued eating. Those chopsticks…

I put them in my mouth.

How can he use them so calmly? Isn't this equivalent to…

"What? You want more?" Jing Hanchuan's tone was calm, and there seemed to be no emotion in it.

Xu Yuanfei smiled dryly. "No."

"Is my dipping sauce delicious?"

"Pretty good." Xu Yuanfei couldn't taste anything at all. Her mind was full of the two of them using the same pair of chopsticks.

"Then this is for you." Jing Hanchuan pushed the dipping sauce in his hand to her.

"No need. I'll just eat my own."

"I'll get another one."

When Xu Yuanfei saw him enter the kitchen, she lowered her head and focused on eating, not daring to look at him again.

A strand of black hair hung down from her ear. As she moved, it occasionally swept lightly across her face. At this moment, Xu Yuanfei was wearing disposable gloves to peel crabs, so she couldn't move the strand of hair out of the way, making her a little annoyed.

When Jing Hanchuan came out of the kitchen, he walked to her side, leaned over, raised his arm, and gently lifted the strand of hair beside her ear. He had never done such a thing before, so his movements were slow and even a little clumsy.

His fingertips were a little hot. They slid gently across the side of her face and slowly landed on her ear.

"Thank you." Xu Yuanfei felt a tingling sensation and turned around to thank him.

Unexpectedly, his hand slid past the side of her face again before he took it back. Her face was a little red. Jing Hanchuan nodded lightly. When he sat back in his seat, his Adam's apple was moving slightly.

I want to kiss her.

"It's better to tie your hair up when you eat." At some point, the distance between them seemed to have decreased again.

"I didn't bring a hairband." Xu Yuanfei had been very busy in the store. When she came out, she had specially dressed up. How could she take care of so many details?

"Oh." Jing Hanchuan's throat was itchy, and he wasn't in the mood to eat crabs at all.

Finally, he peeled a crab and handed it to Xu Yuanfei.

"Crabs are cold food1. Girls should eat less."

Xu Yuanfei nodded silently.

"Has your family gotten you to go on blind dates recently?" It was almost the end of the year, and it was another peak blind date season.

"No, my parents have been quite busy recently and don't have time to care about me," Xu Yuanfei explained quickly, afraid that he would misunderstand.

Jing Hanchuan didn't say anything, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

***

After dinner, someone cleaned up the food. The two of them sat on two sofas and watched the CCTV news broadcast, seemingly not knowing what to say.

"Auntie was very beautiful when she was young." Xu Yuanfei pointed at a set of photos on the living room wall.

"Yeah."

"Your family has a lot of photos."

"Because Sixth Master likes photography," a Jing family member said. "He has a lot of photography equipment. He took many of the photos here, and he has even won awards."

Jing Hanchuan tilted his head and glanced at the man, obviously feeling that he was talking too much.

"Can I take a look at your photography work?" Xu Yuanfei was feeling bored, but she couldn't just leave after eating. It would be like treating his house as a restaurant, which was impolite.

"Next time," Jing Hanchuan said.

Xu Yuanfei nodded.

Next time…

Come here again?

There had been too many festivals recently, and they were squeezed together with Christmas and New Year's Day. The dessert store was very busy, and Xu Yuanfei had indeed been very busy recently. The heating in the Jing residence was just right, and she was satiated with food and drink. In addition, the news broadcast was too hypnotic, so she was already a little sleepy after watching it for a few minutes.

She originally wanted to hold on and wait for ten more minutes before telling Jing Hanchuan that she was leaving. But her eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep.

Jing Hanchuan rubbed the remote control with his fingers. From the corner of his eye, he saw that a certain someone had fallen asleep. He lowered his eyes to look at the time.

Fifteen minutes late…

In that case, I'll just get her to stay for another fifteen minutes.

He tilted his head and sized up Xu Yuanfei. Her side profile was buried in the collar of her sweater, and her body was curling up into a ball. He walked over gently and sat on the same sofa as her…

The sofa sank slightly, and her body shifted a little to the side.

He tilted his head and looked at her calmly. Actually, her sweater was very loose and covered her body loosely. As her body moved, the slightly large collar revealed her fair neck.

The surroundings were extremely quiet. He moved his body slightly, and Xu Yuanfei leaned over completely. Her long hair fell on his shoulders. Her breathing was very shallow, and her chest was moving up and down slightly.

As long as he tilted his head, he could easily touch a small piece of skin on her forehead. He raised his hand and gently brushed her scattered hair, getting closer…

The feeling of her kissing him secretly last time had been too fast, and he had barely had time to feel anything.

Her lips were a little bright at this moment, and he wondered what they tasted like.

He felt a little hot, and his entire body seemed to be wrapped in an unknown lust. It was a hunger that went straight to his spinal cord.

His mouth was dry.

…

All the shadows seemed to envelop them, and the entire world became dark.

Jing Hanchuan frowned as his gaze landed on the corner of her lips. He tilted his head slightly and pressed his thin lips against her forehead. His lips rubbed against her slightly and then moved down half an inch. As his lips rubbed her, they seemed to produce a small electric current.

When he wanted to move down again, he saw his subordinates standing not far away and staring at him unblinkingly. They seemed even more anxious than him.

He shot them a cold look, and they turned their heads.

"F*ck, kiss her!"

"Target her mouth and kiss her directly!"

"Don't be a coward…"

They were all anxious.

When Xu Yuanfei woke up with a start, she was in a daze. After a few seconds, she realized that this was the Jing residence.

At this moment, guests had arrived at the Jing residence.

"Oh, it turns out you're here, Miss Xu. We just went to your store and bought some things. We passed by Hanchuan's place to give him some. If we had known you were here, we wouldn't have come."

The people who came were Fu Chen and Song Fengwan.

Fu Chen's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, as if he wanted to see something.

But Jing Hanchuan was certain that Fu Chen had definitely come on purpose. He never visited unless he needed something. How could he be so kind for no reason and even bring him desserts?

"Thank you." Jing Hanchuan took the desserts from him. His expression was normal, but his eyes were cold.

Fu Chen smiled. Song Fengwan tugged at his clothes. "Third Brother, did we come at the wrong time?"
