She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 28 Mung Bean Cake

When Liu Jingyi met his unfathomable eyes, which seemed to be brewing a storm, her heart skipped a beat. She belatedly realized that the atmosphere at that moment was a little too...intense.

"what happened?"

Her voice was soft, with a hint of feigned ignorance.

Leng Yunting didn't speak, but steadily brought the piece of melon in his hand to her lips, his movements becoming calm again.

But his gaze seemed to have a tangible weight, heavily imprinted on her face, neck, and slightly open collar.

"Ahem, put on your coat."

Seeing his serious demeanor, Liu Jingyi's inner devil began to stir again, wanting to tear off his pretentious facade.

"Honey," she swallowed the last bite of melon, her voice soft and sweet from just waking up, yet deliberately tinged with a hint of grievance, "but it's too hot, I don't want to wear it."

That scoundrel of a man clearly likes her doing this.

Liu Jingyi's eyes sparkled, and she leaned forward slightly. Her shoulder strap slipped down a little more with the movement. Then she grabbed the man's hand, climbed onto him, and wrapped her slender arms around him. "Honey, it's just the two of us here."

Liu Jingyi pressed her slender waist against him and said sweetly, "Could you fan me?"

Leng Yunting is a man, and he already has poor self-control when it comes to her. How could he possibly not have any reaction to her like this?

He took a deep breath. This girl was getting bolder and bolder. She knew he wouldn't touch her during the day, yet she still kept teasing him.

He picked up a coat from the side, put it on the woman, raised his hand to pinch her chin, and said indifferently, "Why haven't I seen you like this at night? You only know how to make fun of me during the day!"

Liu Jingyi instinctively sensed a hint of danger and tried to get up, but before she could move, the man grabbed her. "What? Did you ask me to fan you? Where are we going?"

Liu Jingyi had no choice but to lie on the man's chest and draw circles on his chest with her slender fingers. "All I wanted was to hug you and have you fan me. When I was little, my mother always fanned me when I was hot."

Liu Jingyi originally just wanted to tease him, but as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Liu Jingyi didn't really want to, but for some reason, she found herself becoming more and more spoiled!

Not wanting Leng Yunting to see her disheveled state, she paused for a moment, then broke free from his embrace. "Commander Leng, I'm going back."

Leng Yunting was already restrained, so he didn't notice any changes in the little woman in his arms.

"Well, I'll give it to you."

Liu Jingyi wanted to say she would leave, but Leng Yunting didn't give her a chance to speak and pulled her by the hand to walk out.

Liu Jingyi couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she could only let him have his way.

Throughout the journey, Liu Jingyi was very well-behaved and quiet. Many leaders saw this and felt that they should find something for the military wives in the compound to do. They were all too idle and couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Otherwise, why would they have spread such rumors about Liu Jingyi?

The old leader and Fu Jiexuan waited together for Leng Yunting to send the person over.

Turning to look at Fu Jiexuan beside her, she asked, "Shouldn't you also start thinking about your personal life?"

This leader had practically watched them grow up, and now that Leng Yunting was married, he naturally cared about his marriage all the time.

After all, he had received quite a few calls from J City, asking him to urge them to hurry up.

Fu Jiexuan outwardly agreed, but inwardly he was thinking, "Forget it, I want to live a few more years!"

Otherwise, you'll end up like Brother Ting, busy all day and still having to go back and serve your little princess!

The leader could tell from his perfunctory attitude that he didn't take the matter to heart.

"Hey kid, I'm talking to you."

Seeing that his boss was about to lose his temper, Fu Jiexuan quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I got it. I'll go on a blind date later, okay?" The old boss nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it."

Back home, Liu Jingyi discovered that the soaked mung beans she had prepared before leaving were ready to be peeled, so she decided to make some mung bean cakes.

After peeling and washing the mung beans, put them in a pot and steam them until cooked. The steamed mung beans have a fragrant aroma.

Liu Jingyi used a clean cloth to take out the mung beans and grind them into mung bean paste. Then, using the residual heat in the pot, she heated the oil, put in the white sugar, and melted it over low heat.

Then mix it with mung bean paste and knead it until it's smooth, then you can use a mold to shape it.

Of course, Liu Jingyi didn't have a mold, but that didn't matter.

Liu Jingyi then used her hands to shape the mung bean paste into squares of roughly the same size.

There were only two people in the house, her and Leng Yunting, so she didn't prepare much, but she still managed to make about thirty pieces.

After finishing, Liu Jingyi couldn't resist eating a piece herself.

It was a rather hot day, so mung bean cake was just right; it helps to cool down and reduce internal heat.

After making the mung bean cakes, Liu Jingyi took out ten pieces and planned to send them to Sister Chen.

Although clothes were sent as an apology, the original owner still left a very bad impression on everyone, so it was necessary to try to smooth things over with the people around her from time to time.

After tidying up briefly, Liu Jingyi took the mung bean cakes and headed towards Sister Chen's house.

When she encountered people who greeted her on the street, Liu Jingyi would smile and greet them back.

After all, it will be a long time before Leng Yunting returns to J City, so it's important to maintain good neighborly relations in the compound.

Of course, she doesn't need to be too deliberate; a nodding acquaintance is enough.

After Liu Jingyi left, the people who had been greeted by her with a smile all wondered if they were hallucinating.

Liu Jingyi didn't care what they were thinking.
The door to Sister Chen's house was open, and Sister Chen was sitting in the yard washing clothes.

"Jingyi, why are you here at this hour?"

Liu Jingyi said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I had nothing to do at home today, so I made some mung bean cakes and brought them over for you to try."

After Liu Jingyi finished speaking, she took out a plate of mung bean cakes from the basket. As soon as she took them out, Sister Chen smelled a fragrance.

These days, life isn't easy, and even those in their compound rarely have the luxury of buying pastries.

Sister Chen couldn't resist, reached out and took a piece, took a bite, and her mouth was filled with fragrance.

"This is so delicious! They must have put a lot of sugar in it, right?"

"It's not much, as long as my sister-in-law thinks it's delicious."

"Jingyi, I didn't know you had this skill. You're really amazing."

"No, no, I was just thinking about it randomly. Sister-in-law, Yunting should be back soon, so I'll head back now."

"Wait a minute, your sister-in-law doesn't have anything for you. These are fruits and vegetables she grew herself. Take them home and eat them."

Liu Jingyi didn't stand on ceremony, since if she didn't accept it, Sister Chen definitely wouldn't accept it either.

After meeting her a few times recently, Sister Chen has come to think more and more that Liu Jingyi is quite nice.

She's perfect in every way; not only is she beautiful, but she can also sew clothes and bake pastries.
