288 Taste Test (Part 3)
The layers were about three inches tall, and there was a white substance in the middle of each layer that looked like solid goat’s milk.
“Your business territory has expanded by a large margin today. This is my reward for you. It’s a small cake. Do you like it?”
Zhao Zhan had already caught his lover’s hands and carefully examined them. Seeing the red spots on them, Zhao Zhan sincerely lowered his head and pressed his lips on them.
Yue Jiaojiao’s fingers were numb.
“Does it hurt?”
His lover raised her hand and blew on it. She spoke in a coy voice, “It hurts. I’ve been washing it with cold water for a long time, but it doesn’t help.”
Zhao Zhan’s heart ached. He pulled her into his arms. His heart was hurt, and he felt as if he were the one in pain instead.
He rested his chin on Yue Jiaojiao’s shoulder.
“I don’t deserve this.”
His lover was the best. He was just an ordinary hunter who was bestowed an angel by God.
She was a rare pearl, and he only wanted to keep her in the softest place in his heart to protect her.
Yue Jiaojiao squeezed Zhao Zhan’s hand and said, “You deserve it.”
Today’s evaluation meeting was so important to Zhao Zhan that Yue Jiaojiao had deliberately pretended to stay in bed and stay in the inn to prepare this for him.
It was just that she hadn’t cooked for a long time and was a little flustered when she made a mistake.
Just the act of patting the cream made her wrists bulge up.
The two of them shared the cake together.
“Jiaojiao, I’ll take you out for a while.”
Zhao Zhan brought Yue Jiaojiao all the way to East Street and stopped in front of a house.
Yue Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at him.
“Where are we?”
“I’ll bring you in.”
Zhao Zhan took out a key from his waist, held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand, opened the door, and walked in.
It was a house with two entrances. Although it was not as big as the one in Willow Village, the basic layout was similar.
“I bought this house.”
Zhao Zhan placed the deed in Yue Jiaojiao’s hands, and her name was written on it.
“We might stay in Huai County more often in the future. You won’t feel comfortable staying in an inn, and it’s too bumpy to travel back and forth every day. If we come to Huai County again in the future, we’ll stay here.
“There are many old things in this house that need repairing. I’ll go back to Wangshan Town in two days to get Master Sun to repair it.” Zhao Zhan took Yue Jiaojiao to look around the house.
“There’s no water here, but I’ll change it to a manual flushing rope. I’ll fill the water tank to the brim every day.”
He had considered every aspect thoroughly.
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but look up at him.
Now that she thought about it, the speed of her and Zhao Zhan’s development could actually be considered extremely fast.
Although she was delicate, she was actually a very guarded person. However, when she woke up and saw Zhao Zhan, the unfamiliarity was very faint, as if the two of them had known each other before.
Soul transmigration already went against the laws of nature. After thinking about it carefully, Yue Jiaojiao could only believe in it and treat it as if she and Zhao Zhan were destined to meet.
Seeing that his lover did not say a word, Zhao Zhan lowered his head to look at her expression and felt a little uneasy. “Jiaojiao, if you don’t like it, we can entrust it to the middleman and buy a new one.”
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh. “No, I like it a lot. I was just thinking how similar our thoughts were to each other.”
Zhao Zhan didn’t understand what she meant.
“I’m a little tired from walking around for long,” Yue Jiaojiao leaned against Zhao Zhan’s body softly. “Zhao Zhan, my feet hurt.”
Zhao Zhan squatted down to carry her on his back.
“I bought you a horse too.” His lover’s breathing was so hot that Zhao Zhan’s heart went numb for a moment.
“It’s hard to travel around Huai County, but riding a horse can save you half the time,” Yue Jiaojiao said with a smile. “You’re always out and about. You can’t hire Lizheng’s ox cart forever. It’s going to be more tiring for you from now on, how are you going to send me back next time?”
This fool must have spent all his money on this house.
The price of a house in Huai County was extremely high, and this place was on East Street, which cost even higher than other places.
To buy these two courtyards, Zhao Zhan must have taken out all the security fees he had received yesterday. Even so, he had never thought of buying anything for himself.
Zhao Zhan immediately switched his lover’s position.
His right hand was propped up against the tree, and Yue Jiaojiao’s back was pressed against his palm. She let out an oh sound, and before his lover could finish her sentence, he wrapped her in a deep and affectionate kiss.
Yue Jiaojiao moaned in pain.
The weather was obviously very cold, but the two of them seemed to have formed a barrier of their own to keep all the chill out.
