Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master's Wife-Chasing Strategy

Chapter 1618

1618 nono was blocked? you don’t like me now?

– inside the private room-

sichuan cuisine was mainly spicy, and the bright red chili forced people’s appetites to increase, especially when the water-boiled meat slices were served and drizzled with a layer of hot oil, which completely exuded the freshness of the meat.

they were acquaintances, so they did not feel too restrained. duan yinuo had been coveting the boiled meat slices for a long time, and when she saw that no one had moved their chopsticks, she pursed her lips.

“let’s eat,” ” they’re chatting, ” duan yiyan said. ” if you wait for them to start eating, the food will get cold. ”

the duan family’s teachings were still extremely good. usually, they would only move their chopsticks after the elders moved their chopsticks first.

“yes.”

duan yinuo didn’t expect that when she reached over with her chopsticks, the hot oil that was poured on top of them would sizzle and roll. ” si si si si ”

she picked up a small piece of meat, but her palm was splashed with oil twice. the pain at that moment made her put down her chopsticks in a hurry.

she didn’t make much noise, so even duan yiyan didn’t notice her. she lowered her head and touched her palm. the oil had splashed on it, and it was red.

“you’re scalded?” suddenly, a figure came over and blocked her light.

she could clearly feel that this person was very close to her because his breath was splashing down little by little, blowing the hair on her forehead slightly ticklish.

“no, i didn’t,” duan yinuo rubbed her fingers. this kind of burn was not a big deal, but it really hurt just now.

“let me see.”

” there’s no need ... ” duan yinuo coughed, afraid that the people around them would see that something was wrong.

“let me see!”

the man seemed to not understand human language. his tone was very light but very tough.

duan yinuo had no other choice. she spread her palms under the table. ” i’m really fine. ”

there was only a little bit of red. at this time, other than feeling hot, the burning pain from earlier had long disappeared.

she glanced at the table and carefully observed the movements around her. duan linbai was smiling and telling fu sinian about huaisheng’s marriage proposal. xu jiamu and duan yiyan were listening, and no one seemed to notice them.

just as she was distracted, she suddenly felt the back of her hand being gently held by someone. that person used his finger to gently rub her burn area twice.

maybe it was because he had been using the computer for a long time, but there were some fine calluses on the edge of his thumb.

the area that had been scalded by the oil star was already slightly red and swollen. it was very sensitive, and when he touched it ...

duan yinuo’s body stiffened.

she felt her heart begin to tremble.

“it seems to be a little swollen.” he narrowed his eyes.

“i’m fine. i was just scalded.” duan yinuo wanted to pull her hand back, but the man was too strong, and she could not break free for a moment. when she was a little angry, she exerted a little more force, and he let go of her hand and sat up straight, just like before.

the two of them sat down as if nothing had happened.

however, duan yinuo felt that the place where she had been scalded by the oil star was getting hotter and hotter. even her entire palm was hot, and a layer of hot sweat had formed.

she had not felt it very clearly earlier when he had touched that part of her body, but now that that feeling kept replaying in her mind, her heart felt as if it had been doused with a layer of hot oil.

hiss hiss hiss hiss, it was completely chaotic.

” nuo nuo nuo! ” xu jiamu suddenly called her.

“what?” duan yinuo suddenly came back to her senses. ” mom, what’s wrong? ”

“how’s your thesis coming along?”

“it’s pretty good.” duan yinuo’s casual remark made her feel a mess inside. she held the cup of water and took a sip of the tea that had already turned slightly cold, trying to suppress the heat in her heart.

in fact, she had only just started writing her thesis. it was just that when her parents asked her how she had done her homework, most children would say that they were almost done. in fact, they all had the same thought in their hearts and were just patronizing their parents.

“i’ve been writing a thesis recently. send me your thesis later and i’ll let you take a look.”

duan yinuo almost choked on her water.

for xu jiamu to be promoted to a professional title in the hospital, he also had requirements for the paper he published. it was normal for her to write papers.

“mom, we’re not in the same major. why are you reading my research paper?” duan yinuo smiled.

“i can understand any undergraduate thesis.” xu jiamu said bluntly.

“yes.” duan yinuo took a sip of tea, and she felt bitter in her heart.

“are you alright? i see that your face is quite red.”

“the food is too spicy, so ... i’m going to the washroom and get some fresh air.” after duan yinuo finished speaking, she took her phone and walked out.

oh no, if her mother saw her thesis, she would know that she had not written anything recently.

ever since she was young, she was most afraid that xu jiamu would tutor her and make her doubt her intelligence. she even asked, ” mom, am i really your biological son? why am i not as smart as you?”

xu jiamu only said one sentence. ” just look at your dad. ”

“......”

duan yinuo walked out of the private room and went to wash her face. she was ready to call someone for help, but who could help her with the thesis? this was not the winter and summer homework that everyone had written in the past. the content was different, and there was no way to refer to each other.

after much thought, she decided to give up and face reality. she turned her head and saw a familiar figure. her fingers tightened, and the place he touched just now seemed to heat up again ...

he was still wearing the white sweater and leaning against the wall. his legs were long and straight, and he turned his head slightly to stare at her.

duan yinuo had come out to be a thief, so naturally, she had found a relatively hidden and safe place. however, at this time, this place seemed to have become a cage that imprisoned her, and she could not get out.

his facial features were deep, and his eyes were deep. he raised his eyebrows and looked at her, revealing an informal look, like the strong autumn wind, hard to ignore.

he was serious and focused when he was working, but he was usually very undisciplined, completely different from fu sinian.

“you’re going to the washroom too?” duan yinuo broke the silence.

“no.”

in the dark corridor, the light was dim, and his voice was hoarse for no reason.

” then ... ” duan yinuo coughed. ” i’ll go in first. ”

as she spoke, she wanted to run away, but a certain someone was faster. with one step, he blocked her way. the corridor was not big, and he occupied the middle, making duan yining unable to move forward or backward.

“you ...”

“that umbrella isn’t mine.”

duan yinuo was stunned.’he’s not here for an umbrella, is he? what’s so good about that broken umbrella that’s leaking rain?’

she was about to go crazy. she couldn’t possibly say that her mother threw it away because her umbrella was too broken.

“i realized that you’re an especially irresponsible person.”

“i’m not responsible?” duan yinuo was stunned. she was indeed not very reliable. she admitted that she was sometimes a little confused about this matter, but no one said that she was irresponsible.

“you used to come to see me often, but you haven’t been recently.” his voice was very soft, but the corridor was too close, and it seemed to echo.

she knocked on her ear and knocked on her heart.

“you took my umbrella and didn’t even return it.”

“have you forgotten what you did to me back then?”

duan yinuo’s pupils trembled slightly, and she was dumbfounded. at this time, there was no longer any romantic ambiguity in her heart. her entire body turned cold, and then her face turned red from embarrassment.

thinking of what had happened that day, her palms were so hot that they started to sweat.

in the end, he was feeling guilty and nervous.

“duan yinuo ...”

“yes.” she hung her head and felt vexed. she was really unlucky today. her mother wanted to check her thesis. she thought that her previous misdeeds were flawless, but she was caught red-handed.

no wonder this almighty, who usually didn’t like to go out, had been appearing by her side frequently recently. it turned out that he was here to settle scores with her.

“raise your head and look at me.”

“yes.”

duan yinuo was also a naturally bold person. since she had already done it, it did not matter anymore. she simply raised her head and looked straight at him. at this time, there was a distance of one person between the two of them, and they were not very close.

however, he had been drinking coffee all year round, and even his clothes seemed to have a faint coffee smell.

bitter and sweet.

it was just like the feeling of a crush.

“do you not like me anymore?”

duan yinuo was dumbfounded by the question and did not know how to answer it. she could not just admit that she liked him directly. after all, she was still a girl. she was still a little shy when it came to such things.

if he didn’t like her ...

it was too against his will!

she hesitated, not knowing what to say. the person in front of her did not continue, ” you’ve been out for a long time. it’s time to go back. ”

he seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted. when he turned around, his expression relaxed a little. however, duan yinuo’s heart was in a mess again.

she didn’t know what he meant.

*

when duan yinuo returned home after dinner, she turned on her computer and was prepared to do some last-minute cramming to finish her thesis. however, her mind was in a mess. she sat in front of the computer for more than an hour and only managed to type a punctuation mark.

at that moment, her mailbox notified her that there was a new email. she opened it casually and was shocked when she saw the sender.

this person couldn’t have sent him some kind of virus e-mail to take revenge on him, could he? was he planning to hack his computer?

after hesitating for a while, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and opened the email. inside were all the materials that she could use for her thesis. it was very comprehensive, and some of them were even things that she hadn’t collected yet. it just happened to be useful ...

she gritted her teeth. what should she do? she still liked him very much!

duan yiyan was only one wall away from her bedroom. he frowned slightly when he heard the screams from the next room.

did he become stupid from writing his thesis?
