"A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Let the cook do these things. There’s no need for you to personally handle everything!"
Chu Yu served himself and began eating slowly.
The feeling was so blissful. She was eating what he personally made, smiling brightly.
The happiness he wanted was simple: Yun Jinnian by his side, being good to her. Wanting to hug, he can hug; wanting to kiss, he can kiss; wanting to...
"Cough, cough, cough!" Chu Yu suddenly started coughing.
His thoughts wandered off!
"What’s wrong?" Yun Jinnian quickly put down her bowl and patted Chu Yu’s back.
He dared not tell Yun Jinnian what he was thinking.
Seeing the concern in Yun Jinnian’s eyes, he held her hand and pulled her to sit down.
"I’m fine. You should eat while it’s hot. It won’t taste good if it gets cold!"
"Are you really okay?" Yun Jinnian asked with concern.
Seeing Chu Yu’s confident assurance, Yun Jinnian felt at ease and continued eating.
Chu Yu didn’t prepare much, so they finished eating quickly.
Sitting there felt a bit awkward.
"Wait for me a moment!" Yun Jinnian got up and went into the inner room. She soon came out with a bundle and handed it to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu quickly opened it. It was a pair of black shoes.
"Yes, try them on. Do they fit?"
Impatiently, he changed into the shoes and walked around the room a few times. "These shoes are very comfortable!"
The size was just right, and the soles were very soft.
The lining material was excellent, and the stitching was dense, not rubbing against the feet at all.
"If you like them, I’ll make you a few more pairs when I have time!"
"No need for now. Wait until these are worn out before making more. You should get more rest!" Chu Yu said as he walked around a few more times.
Yun Jinnian couldn’t help but laugh.
The embroiderers at Prince Rui Residence surely made better shoes than she did; she only added a touch of her heart.
So she didn’t insist.
"Have you thought about what’s next?"
Yun Jinnian was silent for a moment. "I’ve thought it through!"
"As long as you’re ready, be brave and move forward, claim everything owed to you!"
Yun Jinnian smiled and remained silent.
Chu Yu knew Yun Jinnian was tired today and didn’t want to disturb her more. He hugged her tightly, kissed her deeply, and then said reluctantly, "I’ll leave now. Get some rest. I’ll find a chance to see you!"
Before leaving, he took Yun Jinnian’s hand and placed a key in it. "This is the key to the storeroom in Prince Rui Residence. Since you’ve accepted it, you can only marry me. You’re not allowed to marry anyone else. Remember that!"
Yun Jinnian was stunned.
"I asked if you remember!" Chu Yu emphasized.
Today, he had seen and understood too much.
Zhou Yunshen’s ambitions were clear, and Feng Wushuang was also no good, constantly eyeing Jinnian.
The scoundrels at Marquess Yuanshen Residence also dared to disrespect Jinnian. They would pay for that.
"I remember!" Yun Jinnian replied, standing on tiptoe to gently kiss Chu Yu’s lips. "It’s getting late. You should head back...ah...!"
Suddenly, Chu Yu lifted her up horizontally. Before she could react, he carried her into the bedroom and threw her onto the bed. Just as she was about to say something, Chu Yu pounced on her, kissing her fiercely and passionately.
The familiar breath, the intense love, Yun Jinnian wasn’t a fool, she could feel it.
She was reluctant and didn’t want to push Chu Yu away.
So she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck to respond to him!
Even if tonight, he really wanted her, she would accept it wholeheartedly.
This time, Chu Yu indeed went a bit too far, his big hands reaching inside her clothes.
