Chapter 73: He Wanted to See the Kind Described in Wang Wei’s Poems

After they finished eating, they returned to the office.

As soon as Shen Qingxuan sat on the sofa, he noticed Jiang Yubing beside him stifling a laugh.

He leaned closer and said, “I stood up for you, aren’t you touched?”

“Not at all.”

Jiang Yubing flatly denied it and looked elsewhere.

Though she spoke like that, her heart felt delighted.

From today on, Jiang Yubing also had someone protecting her.

Although that person was sometimes silly, so what?

Shen Qingxuan feigned a sigh and said, “Sigh! It seems it was only my wishful thinking.”

As he spoke, he theatrically wiped nonexistent tears.

His over-the-top acting made Jiang Yubing burst out laughing with a “pfft.”

After several seconds, her laughter gradually subsided.

She raised her hand and lightly patted his shoulder, saying, “Your acting is a bit too exaggerated!”

Upon hearing that, Shen Qingxuan protested confidently, “So what? This is called playing myself.”

“Besides, I don’t care, you said earlier that good performance would earn a reward.”

Jiang Yubing looked at his cutesy manner and felt slightly dazed.

The once dull idiot husband now became more and more good at acting spoiled.

Was this still the Shen Qingxuan she knew?

But on second thought, this was actually quite nice.

“All right! Tell me, what reward do you want?”

She asked with a barely noticeable smile.

Upon hearing that, Shen Qingxuan lowered his head and thought.

All kinds of strange ideas flashed through his mind.

After a while, he suddenly blurted, “My dear wife, let me see your legs.”

After speaking, he did not hold much hope.

With Jiang Yubing’s personality, she would probably tease him in a new way.

Yet reality proved the opposite.

Jiang Yubing directly lifted her leg and boldly placed it on Shen Qingxuan’s thigh.

With a smile, she said, “Here! Take a look, don’t be shy.”

Shen Qingxuan froze.

Looking at Jiang Yubing in business attire, he instantly understood.

This outfit covered everything tightly; what could he possibly see?

The place he wanted to see was not this leg.

What he wanted to see was that kind described in Wang Wei’s poems…

Shen Qingxuan just wanted to suggest changing the reward.

When he looked up, he saw the triumphant smile on Jiang Yubing’s face.

Goodness, so Bingbing did it on purpose!

She dared to laugh at him; he could not tolerate this.

Opportunity belonged to those who were prepared.

Anyway, they were already husband and wife.

He would just go for it.

While he lowered his head and chuckled, Jiang Yubing suddenly felt a bad premonition.

The remaining smile on her face stopped abruptly.

She fearfully tried to withdraw her foot from his thigh.

Yet as soon as it moved halfway, Shen Qingxuan grabbed it.

“What are you doing?”

Jiang Yubing felt panicked.

“Bingbing, aren’t you asking the obvious?”

Shen Qingxuan grinned mischievously and leaned in.

Jiang Yubing moved sideways in fear, her voice pleading, “Don’t come over, this is the company.”

“Hee hee, it will be over soon, be good.”

Shen Qingxuan ignored her objection and continued forward.

Seeing she could not resist, Jiang Yubing simply closed her eyes.

Her heart felt both nervous and expectant, unsure what would happen next.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yubing cautiously opened her eyes.

She looked at the trouser leg rolled up by Shen Qingxuan and felt both angry and amused.

“You fussed for so long just to look at a leg?”

“Yeah! What else?”

Shen Qingxuan scratched his head with an innocent look.

He always kept his promises; since he said he would look at her leg, he only looked at her leg.

“You are quite proud.”

Jiang Yubing rolled her eyes speechlessly.

She had just prepared herself mentally.

And this was it?

“You’re so stupid.”

“Hee hee, basic stuff, don’t be surprised.”

Shen Qingxuan still laughed heartlessly.

He totally failed to notice Jiang Yubing’s angry and shy expression.

“But Bingbing, why do you look a bit disappointed!”

Shen Qingxuan asked curiously.

“I don’t.”

Jiang Yubing quickly denied it, her eyes dodging.

“Really not?”

Shen Qingxuan pressed on.

Jiang Yubing blushed and said coquettishly, “You’ve seen enough, I’m taking it back if you’ve seen enough.”

Shen Qingxuan giggled foolishly and did not answer.

He looked at Jiang Yubing’s shy appearance.

His heart filled with sweetness.

What a tsundere and adorable wife.

…

The time moved to the afternoon.

The two chatted and laughed as they returned to the rented room.

Shen Qingxuan put away the ingredients he bought and planned to cook in the kitchen.

When he had just tied the apron, Jiang Yubing’s voice came from behind, “Idiot husband, since you did well today, let me cook.”

Shen Qingxuan’s hands paused.

He slowly turned around, his face full of surprise and doubt.

“Can you?”

“No!”

Jiang Yubing answered honestly with a frank expression.

When Shen Qingxuan heard this, he almost lost his balance and felt speechless.

Had she always been this confident?

She could not cook yet spoke so self-righteously.

“Let me cook instead.”

Shen Qingxuan smiled helplessly.

When Jiang Yubing heard this, she immediately felt displeased.

She put her hands on her hips and pouted slightly, “What? It’s just cooking a meal, how hard can it be?”

Recently, when she got bored, she had watched quite a few cooking tutorials online.

Looking at her eager expression, he really could not bear to dampen her enthusiasm.

He had no choice but to nod helplessly, “Fine, give it a try, I’ll assist you.”

Hearing this, she immediately perked up and cheerfully took the apron from his hands.

However, the apron was a bit large for her.

It hung loosely on her, like a child secretly wearing adult clothes.

“Help me tie the apron, my hands can’t reach.”

Jiang Yubing said.

Upon hearing that, Shen Qingxuan quickly walked behind her.

He crossed the two straps, steadied the intersection with one hand, and deftly wove the straps into a neat bow with the other.

While tying, he deliberately left the knot loose, fearing it might pinch her.

After finishing, he gently tugged the straps to ensure they were secure and comfortable, then smiled, “All done! Wife, you can cook now.”

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, “Today I’ll let you taste my specialty dish.”

“Oh? You even have a specialty dish?”

Shen Qingxuan felt a bit surprised.

“Tch, just watch.”
