297: Chapter 297 Beauty Plus Strength

"Oh, and you two, go date if you're going to date. Don't just stand here in the kitchen staring at each other."

Meng Hangfei and Wang Xiaochun, having been called out, instantly blushed with embarrassment.

Wang Xiaochun, being the most thin-skinned, was the first to walk away with a red face.

Meng Hangfei dithered for a moment until Lu Huan gave him a shove, prompting him to chase after her.

In an instant, more than half of the people in the kitchen had left.

Lu Huan kept glancing in Leng Qingyue's direction; it was obvious his mind wasn't on the kitchen.

How could Deng Jiayu not notice?

She walked straight over to Lu Huan's side.

She pointed to the autumn pear and snow fungus soup simmering in the pot.

"This stuff is good for a girl's health. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and ladle out a bowl to take to Little Leng."

Lu Huan was shocked when Deng Jiayu said this.

He was wondering why Deng Jiayu would...

...know about his little secret feelings.

But as someone who had seen it all, Deng Jiayu wasn't surprised at all.

She just crossed her arms, looking quite proud.

"What are you dallying for? Go on, hurry up."

"You usually seem so sharp, kid. Why are you so slow when it comes to this kind of thing?"

A suspicious faint blush finally crept onto Lu Huan's face.

He scratched his head. "I... I understand."

After speaking, Lu Huan briskly ladled a bowl of soup and carried it over, his face still red.

Deng Jiayu saw that the kitchen was finally quiet.

Only Huo Sixian was still there, lost in thought.

She let out a cold snort. "I wonder if Qingqing is awake yet."

"If she wakes up and sees the person she wants to see, that must be a wonderful feeling."

Reminded by Deng Jiayu, Huo Sixian finally had an epiphany and headed toward the room.

Soon, only Deng Jiayu, Pei Siyuan, and Huo Cunsheng were left in the kitchen.

Huo Cunsheng stared blankly at the pea shoots Huo Sixian had left on the table when he departed.

Those pea shoots were clearly freshly picked.

The snapped ends of the stems still held fresh moisture.

For some reason, a wave of emotion welled up in Huo Cunsheng's heart.

Pei Siyuan patted Huo Cunsheng on the shoulder.

"You old man, you're really easily moved."

Huo Cunsheng silently wiped away a tear.

"Grandsons have their perks. Who says a grandson can't be a caring 'little padded jacket'?"

"This grandson of mine has me in his heart!"

Huo Cunsheng didn't realize that as he spoke, his expression was full of pride.

Just looking at him, one could tell he had the confidence of someone surrounded by love.

As for Huo Sixian, he didn't actually know what the three in the kitchen were thinking.

He just quietly opened the door to Ye Qingqing's room as he had before.

Seeing that Ye Qingqing was still asleep, an unconscious smile appeared on his lips.

Ah Huang watched Huo Sixian from the side and curled his lip instinctively.

Ah Huang's inner monologue: Tsk, the stench of love. Who wants to see this stinky man? Why is he back again?

Huo Sixian gently crouched beside Ye Qingqing's bed.

He wanted to reach out and touch the beauty on the bed, but he was afraid a large movement would wake her.

So, he could only use his fingertips to lightly trace the contours of Ye Qingqing's face.

He controlled the pressure perfectly.

He held his hand just where he could trace her face.

He traced gently along the curves of Ye Qingqing's facial features.

His movements were as careful as if he were handling a delicate piece of art.

Huo Sixian could have stayed there just quietly watching Ye Qingqing forever.

Doing nothing, just watching.

Seeing Huo Sixian's pathetic state, Ah Huang felt very disdainful.

But then he thought about how the person Huo Sixian was looking at was his master.

Ah Huang simply let the man be.

After all, this man liked his master.

Ah Huang had already accepted this fact.

However, he still gave Huo Sixian a reluctant glance.

Wishing this man would disappear from his sight.

Ye Qingqing had actually already woken up by now.

However, she felt a tingling sensation on her face; she didn't even need to think to know it was Huo Sixian's antics.

So, Ye Qingqing just lay there, wanting to see how far Huo Sixian would go.

But Ye Qingqing hadn't expected Huo Sixian's patience to be so infuriatingly high.

Ye Qingqing was getting tired of lying there.

Huo Sixian was still playing with her face!

Seriously, what was so interesting about her face?

Why did he keep playing with her face?

Ye Qingqing didn't understand.

So she suddenly snapped her eyes open and stared straight at Huo Sixian.

"How much longer are you going to keep playing?"

But Huo Sixian didn't answer Ye Qingqing at all.

His response to Ye Qingqing was a long, deep kiss.

He kissed her until her whole body went limp and her breathing became ragged.

It finally ended with Ye Qingqing looking at Huo Sixian with glistening tears in her eyes.

When it was over, Huo Sixian saw Ye Qingqing's eyes shimmering like water, and his own breathing grew even more rapid.

Ye Qingqing immediately pushed Huo Sixian away.

"Are you part dog?"

"Haven't you kissed enough?"

Ye Qingqing was clearly angry when she said this.

Her eyes were full of irritation as she looked at Huo Sixian.

But Huo Sixian acted aggrieved, immediately pouting his lips and looking submissive; in Ye Qingqing's eyes, he looked even more like a dog than Ah Huang.

"I just missed my wife too much."

"Wife, you've been asleep all afternoon and haven't spoken to me. Now that you're finally awake, does your Darling Husband not even have the right to a kiss..."

Huo Sixian sounded more and more wronged as he spoke.

Ye Qingqing even felt that if she gave this man a stage, he could perform a three-second crying scene on the spot.

If Ye Qingqing hadn't known about Huo Sixian's wicked nature in bed...

...she might have actually been fooled by his appearance.

Unfortunately, the current Ye Qingqing was no longer the Ye Qingqing of the past.

The current Ye Qingqing!

Was a Ye Qingqing who had grown!

Was a Ye Qingqing who had stood up for herself!

"Stop being so glib and get off me. I can already smell the food; I'm going to eat."

Huo Sixian didn't even need to look to know that Deng Jiayu's meal wasn't ready yet.

So he immediately grabbed Ye Qingqing around the waist.

"Wife, where are you going? Can't you stay with your Darling Husband for a bit?"

"Don't you want to see the changes in your Space?"

Huo Sixian knew he couldn't attract Ye Qingqing with beauty alone.

After all, one would eventually tire of beauty.

But with beauty plus strength, Huo Sixian had a way to make Ye Qingqing unable to leave him.

That way, Ye Qingqing wouldn't have time to look at other men.
