He breathed softly in her ear, the faint breath completely unsettling her, to the point where she couldn’t even discern what Yunqing was actually saying.

"Mmm."

All she wanted now was to push him away, so she could only hastily agree to whatever he was saying.

In the next second, sure enough, Yunqing let her go, a mischievous, victorious grin in his eyes.

"Honey, you said it yourself, it’s okay tonight... A gentleman never goes back on his word!"

Yunqing suddenly released his grip, and Tong Xi’s initial struggle seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving her heart feeling as empty as those arms, as if there was nothing to touch or grasp anymore...

Wait, what did Yunqing just say?

What did he mean by "it’s okay tonight"?

"Haha, honey, did you really think I was that desperate? Tsk, tsk..."

Yunqing laughed.

This Little Chili, her face is as red as this!

To be honest, he really didn’t intend to mess around in the kitchen, after all, there’s no privacy here, and they could be caught at any moment. Ahem, he wasn’t that reckless after all.

However, using this trick, he managed to get her to agree to his request amidst the flurry of emotions... Mhm, this was what he really wanted!

Now, he had gotten the promise he wanted.

Yet, Tong Xi, who was still standing there, looked completely bewildered.

Yunqing smiled, lowered his head to her ear, and his alluring husky voice whispered, "But you’ve already agreed to me, so..."

Tong Xi’s eyes widened.

Yunqing lifted his head from her neck, his dark eyes blazing with scorching intensity, fixed deeply on her, "Tonight, don’t think I’ll let you go!"

After saying that, Yunqing’s lips curled into a roguish smile, and he reached out to touch her burning cheek, then turned around to continue preparing the ingredients.

Left in place, Tong Xi stood in shock, feeling like her soul had been completely swept away by him.

This guy, what on earth is he talking about!

Ahhhhh... why does it feel like he’s a cunning wolf, and she’s just an innocent, naive little rabbit...

There’s a sense of helplessness, like she’s helplessly offering herself right to his mouth...

Finally, under Yunqing’s efforts, both the cold and hot dishes were prepared, truly a feast for the senses! When Tong Xi brought dish after dish to the table, the four elders of the Tong family looked delighted.

"Yunqing really has great cooking skills. It smells so good!" the old Madam Tong said with a smile.

Old Master Tong nodded in agreement.

"Yes, there aren’t many men who can cook these days! Yunqing is indeed a good boy!"

Over there, Tong Jinnian and Xu Bing exchanged glances and smiled as well.

What more could they say now?

Tong Xi being with Yunqing, what else could make them uneasy!

To think Yunqing never cooked at home growing up, and now, just to win over his wife, he’s pulling out all the stops.

Of course, his mentor Wen Nansheng was also diligent in teaching him, which is why Yunqing was able to improve so much!

When Yunqing finally plated the last squirrel fish, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tonight was even more thrilling than filming a movie!

Each dish was a challenge!

At last, Tong Xi walked in again, her face still flushed.

Tonight, this guy kept teasing her, leaving her defenseless, yet when he was busy, he looked so serious, as if everything before was just something she was reminiscing about alone, it’s really... so unfair!

She stood there staring blankly at Yunqing’s profile, her expression becoming even more charming yet even more embarrassed.

And also, the guy also mentioned something about not letting her off tonight...

Mmm, just thinking about that sentence made her feel like her whole body was on fire again!
