Tong Xi’s back was pressed against the wall, cold behind her, yet in front was Yunqing’s strong body, warm embrace, and smoldering gaze.

Her heart was racing.

At this moment, the gaze of this man in front of her seemed too wicked.

Transforming into a werewolf?

Suddenly, Tong Xi thought of those films about vampires and werewolves, only to feel the blood in her veins surging and pulsing as if Yunqing could lower his head and bite through her veins.

As for Yunqing, he just stared into her eyes, those glaze-like eyes full of shimmering lustrous beauty and bashfulness.

This side of her made Yunqing a bit overwhelmed, instinctively wanting to kiss her.

His head lowered bit by bit, and his gaze became increasingly gentle.

But just before touching her lips, suddenly footsteps approached.

Instantly, Tong Xi pushed Yunqing aside, and soon, the kitchen door opened, Xu Bing walked in with a large bamboo rack of jiaozi.

"I’ll just put the jiaozi here first, later when Yunqing finishes up, Xiaoxi, you come and cook them!"

"Okay, Mom! Got it!"

Tong Xi’s voice was somewhat floating as she took the bamboo rack from Xu Bing, gently placing it on the nearby cabinet.

Xu Bing glanced at the vegetables on the cutting board and the neatly arranged ingredients on the plate, smiling knowingly.

Apparently, Yunqing had indeed put in a lot of effort!

In fact, after interacting with Yunqing’s parents in previous days, she had already noticed that Yunqing’s family was definitely unusual, but only later did she find out that Yunqing was actually the renowned second young master of the Shen Family!

Back then, Yunqing merely mentioned that their family was in business, specifically emphasizing it was honest business.

But later they discovered that the business... was truly vast.

If Tong Xi were to marry into that family, it would be like marrying into wealth.

Well!

They had never expected their daughter to join a wealthy family, as such a life seemed too distant, and they merely hoped for Tong Xi’s happiness.

Speaking of which, seeing Yunqing go to such lengths for Tong Xi brought them great comfort.

After all, Yunqing truly loves Tong Xi, and that’s enough!

Furthermore, Xiaoyu had married Yunqing’s brother Shen Yufeng already; if Yunqing weren’t trustworthy, Xiaoyu would have certainly stepped in.

So, this time, they all believed that Tong Xi had not chosen wrongly, and neither did they.

"Yunqing, good job!"

Xu Bing smiled, patting Yunqing’s shoulder.

Yunqing’s face was full of vibrant smiles, and his peach blossom eyes were sparkling brightly.

"Auntie, it’s as it should be, no need to be so polite! It’s as it should be!"

After Xu Bing left, Yunqing and Tong Xi locked eyes.

Yunqing’s eyes held more of the frustration and helplessness of an unfulfilled scheme, but Tong Xi’s were full of mischievous smiles.

"Serves you right! Kitchen sacred ground, and you still wanted to make moves, tsk tsk! If my mom had seen that..."

"Even if she saw, it’s nothing major. After all, she already caught us sleeping together; a kiss is a minor thing!"

Yunqing began to use his shameless skills again.

Tong Xi scolded him with a glare: "You’re really shameless!"

Yunqing smiled, wanting to move closer again, but Tong Xi pushed him away.

"Behave and cook, and you’ll get a reward once it’s done!"

Upon hearing this, Yunqing’s energy surged instantly.

"Yes, ma’am, my dear wife!"
