The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

Lu Yanxun continued feeding the child as usual, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

But Jiang Zao still noticed that his fingers, which were gripping the spoon tightly, had turned slightly white.

There were also his lowered eyelashes, his eyes that concealed his gaze, and his expression that was utterly calm.

Lu Yanxun didn't say a word the whole time.

His silence made Jiang Zao feel uneasy and guilty.

She began to reflect, wondering if she had spoken too harshly.

Is his male dignity so easily shattered?

Lu Yanxun remained silent, and Jiang Zao dared not speak either.

She silently ate the food Lu Yanxun fed her, her dark, round eyes occasionally glancing at his face.

Wow, this man is really good-looking.

No matter how many times she reads it, this sentence will involuntarily float through Jiang Zao's mind.

No matter how many times I watch it, or from what angle I look at it, I can never get enough.

The only thing Jiang Zao admired about the original owner was that she was so good at choosing a husband.

How come she has such good taste?

I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to ginger and jujube in this respect.

However, since the predecessors planted the trees so that the successors could enjoy the shade, the original owner of this body also benefited her.

Because Lu Yanxun is now her husband.

Hehe, actually, with such a handsome husband to look at and accompany every day, whether there is love or not is not a big problem.

They already have two children, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will spend the rest of their lives together.

At first, Jiang Zao only stole glances at him occasionally, but as she looked, she became mesmerized and started to swoon.

By the end, I felt less guilty and less nervous, and my peeking turned into staring intently.

Lu Yanxun knew from the beginning that Jiang Zao was spying on him, but he was thinking about other things, so he ignored it.

Until the sneaky glances turned into a direct stare.

Lu Yanxun could no longer ignore Jiang Zao's gaze, which had become hot and burning at some point.

Lu Yanxun paused, holding the spoon, and looked up to meet Jiang Zao's gaze: "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

"No." Jiang Zao casually turned her gaze away. "Just looking around."

"Oh?" Lu Yanxun asked casually, handing over a spoonful of food along with a question in his voice.

Oh what? I've been looking at you all this time because you're good-looking.

There are no flowers on the face, but there is grass.

The kind of grass that makes the school heartthrob.

Lu Yanxun was many, many times more handsome than the most handsome guy in her high school and university.

In short, he's good-looking; no one is as good-looking as Lu Yanxun.

It's a pity that such a handsome man is already her husband.

It is no longer available on the market.

Jiang Zao thought to herself with a lovesick fascination.

But that's just what I thought in my heart.

She hadn't forgotten that she and Lu Yanxun were currently in a temporary adversarial relationship.

They are trampling on each other's dignity.

"Cough... Oh what? Why are you asking me that? It's like I like looking at you so much. Do you think you're that good-looking?"

Jiang Zao wore a sour face, deliberately saying one thing but meaning another.

Lu Yanxun glanced at Jiang Zao, then remained silent, his hands continuing their usual movements.

After that, the two never spoke to each other again.

After the conversation, Jiang Zao stopped stealing glances at Lu Yanxun.

After the two of them stopped talking, they ate quickly, and Jiang Zao finished the whole bowl of porridge in no time.

Lu Yanxun didn't ask Jiang Zao if she was full, but instead added another bowl to continue feeding her.

Jiang Zao turned her head away from the spoon: "I'm a little full."

Lu Yanxun frowned slightly: "You only ate a small bowl."

"I'm a little full," Jiang Zao shook her head.

I didn't eat enough ginger and jujubes, I just lost my appetite.

The fish soup porridge smelled delicious, but it was too bland. She drank one bowl and felt a bit tired of it, so she didn't want to drink any more.

But if she eats something else, she might be able to eat a little more.

Lu Yanxun coaxed softly, "Eat a few more bites, you're not eating enough."

Jiang Zao didn't eat any, but glanced at another thermos: "What delicious food did Mom make for you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanxun understood.

Jiangzao wasn't full, but rather didn't want to drink any more porridge.

Before feeding Jiangzao, Lu Yanxun tasted a mouthful of porridge and found it to be a bit bland.

"Mom said you can't have it."

Jiang Zao explained, "I'm just looking. I don't intend to eat it. Open it and let me see."

“Okay.” Lu Yanxun agreed, but on one condition: “I’ll show you after you finish this bowl of porridge.”

Jiangzao: "..."

Jiang Zao had intended to refuse, but upon seeing Lu Yanxun's handsome face, she opened her mouth and ate without saying a word, almost as if possessed.

Lu Yanxun kept his word and opened another thermos after she swallowed the porridge.

He tilted the thermos slightly to show Jiang Zao the food inside.

It was all vegetarian dishes, stir-fried tofu and stir-fried bean sprouts, with no meat at all.

However, Jiang Zao was not disappointed; she knew her mother-in-law's cooking skills very well.

Even a simple stir-fried vegetable dish is delicious and visually appealing.

As soon as the lid was opened, she smelled the fragrance inside.

It smelled amazing, and she wanted to eat it.

Seeing how eager she looked, Lu Yanxun immediately put the lid of the thermos on.

"You can't eat this." Lu Yanxun put down the thermos and picked up the bowl of ginger and jujube porridge that he could no longer drink.

As Jiang Zao smelled the delicious aroma of the food and imagined what it would taste like to eat rice with her mother-in-law's stir-fried dishes, Lu Yanxun put the lid on.

Jiang Zao got a little anxious: "I know I can't eat it. I didn't say I wanted to eat it. It's just looking at it, right? Can't I even look? Lu Yanxun, I didn't expect you to be such a heartless person!"

Jiang Zao feigned anger and snorted, "If you won't let me see it, I won't drink the porridge either."

"You're allowed to look, but not to eat," Lu Yanxun said.

Jiang Zao gave him a disgruntled look: "Fine, I already said I'm just looking, not eating."

Lu Yanxun compromised, but he still had a condition: "I'll show you after you drink three mouthfuls of porridge."

Jiang Zao knew that Lu Yanxun wouldn't let her see it so easily.

He sets conditions, and she can negotiate the price.

Ginger and Jujube: "One bite."

“Four people.” Lu Yanxun’s voice was deep and pleasant.

Jiangzao: "..."

After a brief silence, Jiang Zao became angry:

"Lu Yanxun, you shrewd businessman, can't you at least say something? How can you haggle like that?"

Lu Yanxun looked directly into Jiang Zao's eyes, where small flames were flickering, and his calm tone was tinged with a faint smile: "Five bites, I'll show you right away."

Jiangzao gritted her teeth: "Three bites it is! You can't raise the price any further!"

“Okay, three bites.” Lu Yanxun smiled slightly and readily agreed.

Jiang Zao felt like she had been set up.

She just wanted to see the food for a few moments, but she was fed several bites of food she didn't want to eat.

After drinking three spoonfuls of porridge, Lu Yanxun finally took pity on Jiang Zao and opened his thermos again to show her.

"Bring it closer," Jiang Zao said, her tone still a little disdainful. "I'm not going to eat yours, what are you afraid of? I'm just looking, how many times do I have to tell you? I'm just looking, I don't want to eat it!"

Lu Yanxun wasn't afraid that Jiang Zao would eat him.

He was afraid that if Jiangzao insisted on eating it, she would refuse to drink the porridge.

Moreover, given her habit of not keeping her word after she's said it, Lu Yanxun could guess what kind of trouble she was going to cause later.

At Jiang Zao's insistence, Lu Yanxun brought the opened thermos closer so she could see it more clearly.

Jiang Zao peeked into the thermos and saw the food inside. It smelled even better, and she wanted to eat it even more.

"After you've finished reading, finish your porridge." Lu Yanxun said, about to put the thermos back.

"Wait!" Jiang Zao grabbed Lu Yanxun's hand, preventing him from taking the thermos away.

Lu Yanxun smiled and looked at her with amusement: "Haven't you decided yet?"

"Hehe..." Jiang Zao grinned and chuckled twice, "Give me a bean sprout."

Lu Yanxun: "..." He knew it.

Lu Yanxun almost chuckled, but he managed to hold it in.

He pursed his lips, slightly suppressing the smile on his face, as if he were seriously reasoning with Jiang Zao: "You said you wouldn't eat it."

Seeing Lu Yanxun's smile fade, Jiang Zao knew he was probably going to blame her for lying to him again.

Not wanting to make the atmosphere so tense again, she pouted and said in a submissive tone:

"I did say that, but the porridge tasted a bit bland, and I had no flavor in my mouth, so I couldn't eat anymore."

His tone was pitiful, with a hint of ingratiation.

Seeing Jiang Zao's usually sharp tongue unexpectedly soften, Lu Yanxun's heart immediately melted.

He thought Jiang Zao would use a tough approach, like going on a hunger strike next time, to force him to change his mind.

But to my surprise, she used such a soft tone.

This wasn't the first time Lu Yanxun had seen this side of Jiang Zao; she had used the same trick on him the time he was deceived.

She used underhanded tactics that time.

Recalling her deception in retrospect, Lu Yanxun felt that her demeanor at the time was full of treachery and scheming, which made him feel a chill run down his spine whenever he thought about it.

I don't want to think about it anymore.

But this time, her show of weakness and ingratiation was not an attempt to play any tricks; she simply wanted to get a bean sprout.

Even with the same face, the same expression, and even the same tone of voice, Lu Yanxun really found it hard to connect the current Jiang Zao with the Jiang Zao of the past.

One that he felt a deep-seated aversion and disgust for.

One of them, however, made him unable to resist protecting and indulging.

But why?

They are clearly the same person.

Is it Jiang Zao who has changed, or is it him who has changed?

Jiang Zao noticed that Lu Yanxun's expression seemed a bit more serious than before, and thought he was angry.

She quickly rallied her efforts, pleading, "Give me a bean sprout, and I'll finish the rest of my porridge. Just one, okay?"

"It's not that I don't want to drink porridge, I'll drink it, I'll finish it all, okay? The condition is that I can have a bean sprout, just one bean sprout shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Jiang Zao clung to Lu Yanxun's hand, pleading pitifully.

She felt she was about to risk everything for a single bean sprout.

But she really wanted to eat it.

Let's just go for it.

Anyway, the person in front of her is her husband.

I'll go all out today and get my revenge on that kissing thing another day.

With that in mind, Jiang Zao became even more determined to go all out.

"Brother Yanxun...Brother Yanxun~~~please?" Jiang Zao deliberately spoke in a high-pitched voice.

The sound of ginger and jujubes getting into my head gave me goosebumps.

Is it really worth it for a single bean sprout?

She had never acted so coquettishly towards any man in her entire life, not even a woman, let alone a man.

I always feel like I've lost out big time.

How about we change it to two sticks?

Looking into Jiang Zao's bright, expectant eyes, and listening to her increasingly coquettish whining, Lu Yanxun's heart melted completely.

The ginger and jujubes must have changed.

—This was the answer that suddenly popped into Lu Yanxun's mind.

This was the first time he had ever seen Jiang Zao acting so cute and charming since they had met.

Yes, she must have changed.

Jiang Zao was still calling out "Brother Yan Xun" repeatedly for the bean sprout, and for the first time, Lu Yanxun felt that Jiang Zao had become like a monster who would devour people without spitting out the bones.

Let alone if she wanted to eat a bean sprout, even if she wanted to eat his heart, Lu Yanxun would take it out and give it to her.

However, Jiang Zao only wanted to eat bean sprouts, not Lu Yanxun's heart.

Lu Yanxun would rather give his heart to Jiang Zao than let her eat bean sprouts.

However, he was so persistent with Jiang Zao that he eventually gave in.

"For you to eat."

Three words, spoken with a tense and indifferent tone, rang out.

"Banquet... um?" Jiang Zao's eyes widened.

agreed?

Is she ready to eat?

"Here, have some." Lu Yanxun repeated.

The voice was slightly softer than before, but still a little tense.

Jiang Zao's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she held up two fingers, taking advantage of the situation with a sweet smile: "Two?"

Lu Yanxun: "..."

Jiang Zao tilted her head, her smile growing even sweeter, her voice continuing to rise: "Brother Yanxun~~~"

Lu Yanxun compromised without hesitation: "Two sticks, and don't call me that anymore."

With the goal achieved, the ginger and jujubes were no longer placed inside.

The sweet smile that was just a moment ago vanished.

"Why can't I shout anymore? Don't you like it?" Jiang Zao looked at Lu Yanxun in confusion.

His expression was cold and somber, as if he were not very happy.

Could it be that Lu Yanxun, that jerk, didn't soften up because she was being coquettish, but because her tone was so disgusting that he couldn't stand it and had no choice but to compromise?

This is a question that Jiang Zao really needs to reflect on.

Is her way of acting cute really that bad?

That shouldn't be the case. Not to brag, but her face is pleasing to the eye in every expression, whether she's happy, angry, sad, or joyful.

Even when she was giving birth, the doctor praised her for looking beautiful no matter what.

She believed it wasn't just a consolation, because she had the ability to do so.

Her face alone represents absolute strength.

And her voice, while not quite heavenly, is still sweet and pleasant to the ear.

Is it really that bad?

Besides, isn't it said that when women are charming, men's souls wander?

She was so enthusiastic, how come Lu Yanxun didn't get cocky at all?

He not only looked unhappy, but also told her to shut up.

She was devastated.

When asked about Jiang Zao's question, Lu Yanxun didn't say whether he liked it or not, only saying, "In any case, don't call me that anymore."

He doesn't dislike it; he really likes it.

But I didn't want her to call him that just because she wanted a bean sprout.

This made him feel like he wasn't even as good as a bean sprout.

He doesn't want this.

In short, it just won't work.

Jiang Zao didn't press the matter further and readily agreed, "Oh, then I won't call you that anymore."

Jiang Zao agreed not to shout anymore, but Lu Yanxun felt uncomfortable: "I didn't tell you not to shout."

Jiang Zao: "..." Big brother, do you want to hear what you're saying?

You're telling me not to shout!

Could it be that the words "no" and "other" do not mean the same thing in Lu Yanxun's eyes?

Jiangzao was confused again.

So she asked very seriously, "Should I shout or not?"
