The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

However, after the cool tea slid into her throat, Jiang Li suddenly came to her senses and realized that her behavior just now was so bold and intimate. Instantly, a shy blush climbed up her fair cheeks like a sunset glow, and even her cute little ears were not spared, becoming red like ripe apples.

At the same time, her eating with relish suddenly stopped, and she froze in place as if she was cast under a spell. This sudden pause caught Mu Jiuchen's attention, and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Li in confusion. At this moment, his eyes slid down Jiang Li's slightly red ears and fell on the teacup she had just used.

Mu Jiuchen looked at the faint rouge mark left on the edge of the cup, and his heart tightened, and his throat swallowed unconsciously. You know, this is the cup he usually uses! Thinking that when he drinks water from this cup in the future, he might inadvertently feel the breath left by Jiang Li, an indescribable emotion quietly spread in his heart...

As time passed, the carriage fell into silence. Jiang Li felt uncomfortable all over, and the delicious cake in her hand lost its tempting aroma. She was secretly upset and kept blaming herself for being so rash and impulsive. But now that things have come to this, what should she do? How can she resolve this embarrassing situation?

Seeing the quaint Zuiyun Tower with its carved beams and painted buildings getting closer and closer, Mu Jiuchen turned to look at Jiang Li, who was savoring the cake in his hand with relish, and said softly, "We'll be at Zuiyun Tower soon. You can't eat any more after you finish this last piece of cake, or you won't be able to eat the main meal later!" After that, he gently took out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms, raised his hand very naturally, and carefully wiped Jiang Li's little hand that was stained with a little cake crumbs.

After wiping her hands clean, Mu Jiuchen seemed to think it was not perfect enough, so he stretched out his thumb and gently rubbed the tiny crumbs of pastry left at the corners of Jiang Li's mouth. This series of actions was as smooth and natural as flowing water, without any hesitation or unfamiliarity.

Facing Mu Jiuchen's intimate and considerate behavior, Jiang Li could not help but be slightly stunned, secretly surprised. You know, just a few days ago, Mu Jiuchen seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, becoming so gentle and considerate, which really made Jiang Li feel a little overwhelmed.

"Why do we have to go to Zuiyun Tower? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to go directly to Liwei Tower?" Jiang Li frowned and asked Mu Jiuchen with a puzzled look on his face.

You know, Zuiyunlou is a restaurant as famous as Liweilou. It is said that the owner is a royal relative, so the delicacies in Zuiyunlou are naturally first-class, but the price is also ridiculously expensive! In comparison, Liweilou takes a people-friendly route. Not only are the dishes delicious, but the prices are also affordable, and ordinary people can easily afford it.

Hearing Jiang Li's question, Mu Jiuchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile and said: "Do you want your whole family to know about what's going on between us? If you don't mind, I would be very happy to do so." As he said that, he looked straight at Jiang Li with eyes full of expectation.

Jiang Li was stunned when she heard this. She just remembered that she had told Mu Jiuchen before that she didn't want to tell her parents about their relationship for the time being! Oh, look at her memory. She actually forgot about it completely.

For a moment, Jiang Li didn't know how to respond to Mu Jiuchen. He could only stand there and stare, unable to say a word.

Seeing Jiang Li's reaction, Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Actually, he really wanted to try the fresh food at Liweilou, after all, it was more cost-effective. But he was really afraid that he would be caught by Jiang Li's third brother and beaten up. Although he was a prince with an extremely noble status, he was still a little scared when facing Jiang Li's three brothers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers.

"Okay... then..." Seeing that Jiang Li had not spoken for a long time, Mu Jiuchen continued to speak, his tone full of unconcealable anticipation.

"Zuiyun Tower!" Mu Jiuchen showed some disappointment in his eyes as soon as these four words came out.

When they arrived at Zuiyun Tower, the shopkeeper spotted Mu Jiuchen with his sharp eyes. A smile instantly broke out on his face and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Oh, master, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you! Room number one has been reserved for you. Please follow me!" After that, he diligently led the way, leading Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Li upstairs.

After everyone was seated, Mu Jiuchen sat calmly on the chair, and then ordered the shopkeeper: "Hurry up and prepare a sumptuous meal!" The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, then bowed respectfully and left the room, and went to arrange for the kitchen to prepare wine and food.

At this time, Jiang Li looked around and had a guess in her mind. She said with certainty: "This restaurant must be your property, Your Majesty!" Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly and responded with a concise and clear "Yeah".

Jiang Li couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "So that's how it is! No wonder in the capital, this Zuiyunlou can be compared with the famous No. 1 Jiangnan Restaurant! I believe that it is all because of your careful management and operation behind the scenes, Your Highness. It's really amazing!" Her slightly exaggerated tone and expression successfully made Mu Jiuchen smile.

Not long after, delicious dishes were served one after another, and soon the whole table was filled. Jiang Li looked carefully and was surprised to find that every dish on the table was her favorite. Was this really just a coincidence? Or did he also love these delicious dishes?

At this moment, Changfeng, who had been waiting at the door, saw Jiang Li staring blankly at the table full of food. Mu Jiuchen inside could not help but urge him, "Don't be in a daze, eat it while it's hot! I'm sure you've been starving!" However, Jiang Li's mind was not on eating at all at the moment. She was still wondering what this wonderful coincidence meant.

On the other side, Changfeng and Shi Liu were discussing in a low voice how their prince behaved in front of Jiang Li. Changfeng lowered his voice and said, "Look at our prince. He doesn't have any of his former dignity in front of the girl. He is just like a henpecked husband!" Hearing this, Shi Liu glared at Changfeng fiercely and retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! The master has his reasons for doing this, and my girl is so outstanding, so what's wrong with her being treated like this by the master?"

Changfeng nodded quickly upon seeing this and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, your girl is the best girl in the world, now it's okay!" Shi Liu nodded with satisfaction but still refused to show weakness and said: "Of course not! No one can compare to my girl!" After saying that, he raised his chin proudly.
