Ye Cheng’s expression turned gloomy. He did not speak and silently ate a mouthful of rice.

Seeing this, Zhuang Ning could not bear it. She scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to him as she said, “Alright, alright, I said that wrong thing. Here, have a bowl of soup. I stewed it for two hours.”

!!

Ye Cheng reached out to take the bowl with a smile on his face. “This bowl of soup makes me extremely happy.” He finished the soup in a gulp and handed the bowl back to her as he said, “It’s delicious. I want more.”

Ye Cheng was like a mischievous child at this moment.

Zhuang Ning smiled and took the bowl from him before she refilled his bowl again. “Eat slowly. No one’s going to snatch the food from you.”

After chewing and swallowing the stir-fried beef, Ye Cheng said helplessly, “I want to eat slowly as well, but my mind and my hands aren’t listening to me.”

Zhuang Ning laughed. “Your mouth is the best at coaxing people.”

After eating a mouthful of the vegetable dish, Ye Cheng looked at Zhuang Ning and said tenderly, “I swear on my life that I only coax you. No other treatment will receive such treatment.” After thinking about it for a beat, he shook his head and said, “That’s not right. There are still people who receive such treatment...”

Then, Ye Cheng raised his gaze to look at Zhuang Ning. Seeing that her expression had darkened, he was overjoyed. He said with a smile, “When we have a daughter in the future, I’ll coax her as well...”

Zhuang Ning blushed and avoided his gaze. She quickly placed some food into his bowl as she said, “Eat, and stop talking.”

At this moment, even if Zhuang Ning gave Ye Cheng poison, he would still eat it.

It was really strange. Guan Tang had given Ye Cheng her body, and he also did not refuse her, but his heart was unmoved. His desire for her was purely physical.

Yin Jia gave him her heart, but he was not interested. His relationship with her was completely driven by the benefits he would receive.

Ye Cheng was only moved by Zhuang Ning, who was the most unwilling to love him. Even the most intimate actions between them were limited to hugging and holding hands. They had not even shared a real kiss. Nonetheless, he felt as though she already held his heart in her hands. He had long decided in his heart that Zhuang Ning was his other half. It was unfortunate that now was not the right time. Due to this, he also felt that he owed her.

The atmosphere was warm and pleasant as the duo ate.

After the meal, Ye Cheng insisted on doing the dishes.

Zhuang Ning leaned against the door and watched as Ye Cheng, who had rolled up his sleeves, washed the dishes. She said with a sigh, “Who would have thought that someone as outstanding as you would wash the dishes in my kitchen? Ye Cheng, should I feel touched?”

After placing the last bowl on the drying rack, Ye Cheng dried his hands with a towel before he made his way toward Zhuang Ning. He placed a hand against the door, positioning her between him and the door. He looked down at her and asked tenderly, “So, are you touched?”

Zhuang Ning leaned back against the door to look up at him. She asked in return with a faint smile on her face, “Should I reward you?”

Ye Cheng leaned down. The tips of the noses were about to touch as he asked in a hoarse voice, “How are you going to reward me? I’ll only accept it if it entails you giving yourself to me.”

Zhuang Ning turned her head to the side. Her face had already turned red. “Annoying.”

Then, she raised her hands to push him slightly before she quickly lowered her body to duck under his arm and escape.

Ye Cheng reacted quickly. He grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. His entire body was suffused with warmth as he looked at the flustered girl in his arms. He said, “Zhuang Ning, marry me please. Please marry me...”

Zhuang Ning reached out and pushed his face to the side gently as she said, “Stop fooling around. I invited you here for a serious matter.”

“Marrying you is a serious matter. It’s the most serious matter,” Ye Cheng said solemnly.

Zhuang Ning seemed unable to withstand his attack as she quickly switched the topic. She said, “Stop fooling around. I want to show you something first.”

Ye Cheng was afraid of angering her so he had no choice but to let go.

Zhuang Ning brought a book out from the drawer nearby.

Ye Cheng was stunned immediately when he saw the words on the cover: Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual.
