Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 42: A Sweet Kiss
"Your beans are still whole, and he can’t eat them; he might choke. I’ve made them into green bean paste for him, which can help reduce heat and alleviate hunger," Su Yijia explained with a smile.
Gao Huabin looked at her departing figure and couldn’t help but sigh, "Big brother, your wife is really good to you."
Qin Kaize’s long eyelashes quivered slightly, and a soft, bright light appeared in his eyes.
Su Yijia brought back the green bean paste specially prepared for Qin Kaize and gently cooled it down. She then pinched open his mouth and fed it to him. Despite knowing it was for his own good, Qin Kaize still felt embarrassed by this method.
The feeling of helplessness overwhelmed him once again. However, looking at her face which seemed to be getting closer and closer, his heart skipped a beat.
The girl’s skin seemed slightly pale, perhaps due to malnutrition. However, her thick eyelashes appeared soft and gently swayed, making one irresistibly tempted to touch them. Especially when hidden beneath those eyelashes were her misty apricot eyes, shimmering with a hint of radiance.
When she raised her head, her jet-black pupils were filled with nothing but him, as if he were her entire world. It seemed as if he was struggling to break free from the confines of his chest and throw himself into the arms of the young girl before him.
Suddenly, those beautiful eyes blinked, revealing a mischievous gleam, like a cunning little fox. Before he could react, he saw her face approaching affectionately.
Although he couldn’t feel it, Qin Kaize knew that he had just been kissed.
"It was you who invited me," Su Yijia murmured in a voice only they could hear, softly muttering in his ear.
Qin Kaize felt a bit at a loss and instinctively closed his eyes. But then he opened them again and looked at the young girl in front of him with a serious expression, blinking his eyes twice in response to her passing the blame onto him.
Seeing the faint, sweet, and slightly mischievous smile at the corner of her lips, Qin Kaize’s gaze softened. She was his wife, the person who had entered his world at his most helpless moment.
After feeding him half a bowl of green bean paste, Su Yijia then gave him a spoonful of warm water to rinse his mouth. She was about to go wash the dishes when Gao Huabin quickly grabbed the bowls and the basin.
"Sister-in-law, let me do it! I’m a rough guy who doesn’t know how to cook. Normally, you’re the one who takes care of these things, so let me handle the rest," he said, afraid that Su Yijia would refuse, and he had even prepared an excuse in advance.
Su Yijia naturally wouldn’t compete with him over household chores. She thanked him and let him take over. After Gao Huabin finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, he coincidentally met with Xia Weiguo, who had just finished his call.
"Leader."
Seeing Xia Weiguo, who was radiating a cold and intimidating aura, Gao Huabin called out softly.
"Let’s go inside and talk first."
Xia Weiguo didn’t stop walking and went directly into the room. One of the platoon leaders stepped out, leaving the four of them to discuss the matter.
"Don’t worry too much, Uncle Xia. Have a sip of water to calm down," Su Yijia poured a glass of room-temperature water for him.
Xia Weiguo drank it all in one gulp and then concealed most of the oppressive aura around him, so as not to frighten the young girl in front of him.
"The research institute has confirmed that this research data and the finished product are indeed ours. However, they were stolen directly from the laboratory. They were discovered immediately, but the thieves managed to get away. The professor who conducted the research is unaware that his work has been stolen. These people took the opportunity when the professor encountered a bottleneck in his research and took leave to visit his family, intending to change his mood."
He briefly explained the situation to them.
