The backyard had not been cleaned yet. Zhao Zhan was worried that he would dirty her clothes, so he used a little strength to hold her in his arms.
Yue Jiaojiao cried out in surprise, her legs subconsciously wrapping around his waist.
Zhao Zhan held her slender waist with one hand to stabilize her figure. His right hand gently stroked the soft hair behind her head a few times, and then he pulled her closer and closer to him.
Yue Jiaojiao had always been a player who only knew how to talk. In reality, her limited experience had always been with Zhao Zhan.
Now that she was used to him being cowardly, she didn’t know how to react when he was bold. She subconsciously bit her lip as they hugged in an ambiguous position.
“Jiaojiao…” Zhao Zhan was so close to her that even his breathing was difficult. They were entangled together.
Yue Jiaojiao wrapped her arms around Zhao Zhan’s neck.
Her entire body was wrapped in Zhao Zhan’s, and her whole body felt soft and tight. She was pressed against his chest.
The big hand on her waist circled around her. It was so hot that she could even feel it through her clothes.
Yue Jiaojiao shuddered unconsciously for a moment. She was as soft as a pool of water.
Zhao Zhan felt like he was about to drown the moment she shivered.
“Oh.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s cheeks darkened to red. She leaned her head back slightly, opened her mouth slightly, and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She couldn’t help but glare at Zhao Zhan.
Her eyes were watery.
Zhao Zhan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his fingers subconsciously rubbing Yue Jiaojiao’s neck. His eyes were burning as if he wanted to hug the person in his arms tightly without leaving any space in between.
“Zhao Zhan,” Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t withstand his gaze and leaned on his shoulder as she spoke softly, “We’re outside.”
“It’s fine. I closed the back door just now.” Zhao Zhan said hoarsely. He was still panting when he spoke. “I won’t ever let anyone see you like this.”
This man, how did he change into a wolf-like person after only being enlightened a little?
Afraid that Zhao Zhan would speak again, Yue Jiaojiao waited for her mind to clear up a little before she straightened her body and said softly to him, “Shall we discuss how to renovate this shop?”
Zhao Zhan looked at her eagerly, his gaze falling on her lips.
“Stop it…” Yue Jiaojiao released her hands from his neck and gently pulled his face. “Stop thinking about it. Let’s do it next time. If I can’t walk anymore and you carry me out of here, people will start to have wild thoughts.”
Zhao Zhan reluctantly placed her on the ground and followed her side by side. He said seriously, “Fang Tianliu ordered some dried meat from me. I want to build the oven you mentioned in this courtyard. He’s taking the dried meat away the day after tomorrow, so I’m going to the blacksmith’s shop to make a few iron trays first.” Zhao Zhan gestured to the size. “The oven will be set up in the East corner of the courtyard. After all, it takes up quite a lot of space.”
“You can remember everything I’ve mentioned to you so clearly?” Yue Jiaojiao was a little surprised at Zhao Zhan’s good memory. She raised her head and looked at him seriously. “I just realized that you’ve never asked me a second time about the things I’ve told you before… You’re so smart, it’s a pity that you didn’t get to study. Although we don’t need to take the exam to get a good reputation, there will be many places where we will need pen and paper to do business in the future.” Yue Jiaojiao teased. “Why don’t I send you to the academy to work and study every day?”
Zhao Zhan quickly shook his head.
“Since you say it’s useful, I’ll go to the bookstore tomorrow and buy a book to study at home. If there’s anything I don’t know, I can ask you for advice.”
Yue Jiaojiao gave Zhao Zhan a meaningful look almost sarcastically. It wasn’t until the latter looked nervous that she couldn’t hold back her laughter.
“Alright, then I can just be your husband.”
