Chapter 43

Jinwu suddenly raised her eyes, catching Duan Shiyan off guard, bringing their already close distance even closer.

The light, clean fragrance suddenly invaded Duan Shiyan’s breath, causing his already hot blood to surge uncontrollably, his heart pounding wildly in his chest.

His brain seemed to explode with a cluster of grand fireworks, recklessly bursting into a large area.

Even his entire earlobe was visibly turning a bright crimson.

Duan Shiyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

She was so… close.

“How does Mrs. Duan want to sleep?”

He pressed his dark and burning eyes, his tall figure enveloped Jinwu from behind, his smooth and sharp jawline tightened, his exhaled breath became deep and hot.

“Just two people lying together, or two people want to—”

Duan Shiyan broke the rules, lowering his head to her ear, his dark and unclear eyes like deep black holes, as if they could suck people into them, “Do something?”

As he spoke, Duan Shiyan’s thin lips brushed against her earlobe unintentionally.

Like a fire spreading, it touched and left.

Jinwu’s eyelashes trembled, her heart, which had not yet recovered, was once again stirred by an uncontrollable beat.

This man really…

Just answer yes or no!

Why does he have to beat around the bush so much!

“Duan Shiyan.”

Jinwu raised her clear and cold eyebrows, which were tinged with a hint of pink, just like when she used to tutor him.

Every time he held the black dog pen he had snatched from her pencil case, he would poke it at her fingertip playfully and say, “Can you be serious?”

But compared to the helpless tone before, there was now a hint of coquettish reproach.

Like a hedgehog that shakes off all its soft spines and then sullenly pricks you with them.

It’s not painful, but it has a tingling numbness that feels like an electric shock.

It’s strangely refreshing.

“Okay, okay, I’m good”

Duan Shiyan’s lips curled up, he raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, the smile on his brow and eyes was both playful and seductive, making people blush and their hearts race, “Since it’s Mrs. Duan’s invitation, I will naturally be enthusiastic about it.”

He bent down again, his half-drawn, low magnetic tone was seductively alluring, his warm breath brushed past her ear, “Dr. Jin, don’t be merciful to me just because it’s my first time, okay”

Jinwu’s heart skipped a beat.

The temperature of her cheeks rose even further as he teased her.

In getting to know Duan Shiyan again, she had gained a new understanding.

This arrogant and domineering Duan family prince, secretly not only likes to be coquettish, he blushes, his ears turn red, he’s childish, and he has a strong sense of ceremony.

And… he’s really flirty.

He can make a perfectly normal thing sound suggestive.

Jinwu pushed him back slightly as he leaned closer, her eyes unconsciously glancing at him with a hint of reproach.

Suddenly.

She saw a rather large heart-shaped object on the table not far away, and curiously asked, “What’s this?”

Duan Shiyan followed her gaze, his eyebrows immediately lifted in a curve.

“It’s a time capsule.”

Like a hand-holding freak, he skillfully took Jinwu’s hand, interlocked his fingers with hers, and led her over.

“There’s a secret hidden inside.”

Duan Shiyan pulled open a drawer, placed a key with a heart-shaped top in her palm, and his lips curled up, “When you’re really interested in my secret, use this key to open it.”

“You have to be really interested to open it.” He emphasized again.

Secret?

Jinwu looked at the key in her hand in surprise.

It’s so mysterious, could it be that there’s something hidden inside that she can’t see right now?

But she didn’t expect him to be so girlish.

Not only is the time capsule in the shape of a heart, but so is the key.

Jinwu was charmed by his contrast, looking at the heart-shaped key, she smiled slightly, and whispered softly, “Little princess.”

“Ding ding ding, I’ve been waiting for you”

Just as Jinwu was about to put away the key, the little robot, holding two cups of juice filled with strawberries and cream, appeared at the door, its wheels turning flexibly.

“This cup with the white dog pattern is Mama’s”

The little robot’s big eyes blinked with a “＾＾” expression, handing Jinwu a cup of juice that exuded a strong strawberry aroma.

Then it turned to look at Duan Shiyan, its face changed.

The expression in its big eyes immediately changed from “＾＾” to “= =”, “This cup with the yellow dog pattern is Duan Duan’s.”

It’s no wonder it’s the most advanced intelligent robot.

The strawberry juice it made by hand was sweet and rich.

It was no worse than any tea shop outside, it was even better.

Jinwu drank the sweet juice, her eyebrows curved up in satisfaction, her eyes shining with a comfortable glow.

Seeing her happily drinking, Duan Shiyan couldn’t help but smile lightly.

So cute.

Want to kiss.

The man, who usually doesn’t like sweets, watched his wife’s smiling face intently, while bringing his own cup of juice to his lips, but as soon as he took a sip, he almost died on the spot, “Ssh, so sour.”

“Sour?”

Jinwu looked up at him curiously, following the sound of his voice, “Mine is very sweet.”

“Really?”

Duan Shiyan’s long, narrow eyes curved with a lazy and alluring arc.

“Can I try?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he lowered his head, his thin lips parted slightly, and directly took the straw that Jinwu had just sipped from!

His light and warm breath suddenly brushed against her fingertips holding the juice.

Jinwu’s heart skipped a beat.

“You…!”

Her eyes widened slightly, “I just drank from it.”

Duan Shiyan just tilted his head innocently.

“What’s wrong with that?”

Because of the juice he had just drunk, the man’s lips were slightly shimmering with moisture, making them look even fuller, “It’s only natural for a husband to drink from something his wife has used, isn’t it?”

“But you’re right.”

Duan Shiyan was clearly commenting on the juice, but his black eyes were fixed on her, “It is really sweet.”

Jinwu’s face was already flushed.

With his words, she felt her face get even hotter.

Is it because of his strong sense of ceremony?

She feels like he’s really adapted to this new identity, seamlessly fitting in.

“I don’t mind sour, I’ll give you mine.”

Affected by her still pounding heart, Jinwu took Duan Shiyan’s juice, subconsciously taking a sip from the straw he had just used.

“!!!”

The sour juice just slid down her tongue.

Only then did Jinwu realize that she had used the straw that Duan Shiyan had just sipped from.

Instantly, her cheeks flushed red.

It felt like a small drum was beating wildly in her heart.

Duan Shiyan watched her cute reaction and chuckled softly.

“Dr. Jin.”

He bowed to her, leaned close to her ear, his tone lazy, the curve of his lips was playfully wicked, “Would you say this counts as indirect kissing?”

Meanwhile, at the Duan Tinghua Mansion in Kyoto.

The large living room was filled with all kinds of viewing equipment turned on, collectively watching a popular romance show through the little robot’s projection.

They were all sitting on a row of colorful little stools, watching the scene playing on the screen.

Yu Sang: “Ah ah ah ah, what are they whispering about! What’s a VIP like me not allowed to hear!”

Shen Que: “Damn! Who is this flirty man? Is he really the brother I’ve known for so many years!”

Third Uncle: “Isn’t it a little bad for us to secretly watch like this without letting our nephew know?”

Second Uncle: “Put away the phone you’re secretly recording with before you say that!”

Yu Jiu looked at Jinwu on the screen, cupped her face and sighed regretfully, “Even if I take a step back, can’t she be my daughter? She’s literally my dream girl.”

No way!

She’s going to make that beautiful and delicate little girl call her “mama” many times later!

She’s going to be a good, good mother to her!

Yu Jiu also studied the rings they were wearing very seriously, then nodded in satisfaction.

That kid is smart, he knows how to pick rings.

Otherwise, don’t even think about entering this house!

The old lady, who had been supervising in the kitchen, appeared in a suit.

Like a cheerleader.

She took out her phone, aimed it at the beauty on the screen, and took many photos, then excitedly flashed back to the kitchen, her whole body was even more fired up.

Faster, faster, faster!

Don’t starve my dear granddaughter!

—

The sunlight was thin, and the sky was getting dark.

Jinwu walked outside, her face still warm, her heart still hadn’t calmed down completely.

She couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.

She’s an adult, how can she still be so easily stirred by a few words, like a young girl in love?

“Buzz—”

Just as Jinwu took a light breath of the fragrant camellia flowers in the air, trying to calm her still pounding heart.

Her phone buzzed with a message notification.

Out of professional habit as a doctor.

Every time she heard a message notification, she would immediately take out her phone to check, afraid of missing an emergency message from the hospital.

It was exactly 5:20.

She saw a new message pop up on the screen from Weibo, clearly visible to her eyes.

@No. 20: Married my No. 19.
