“A Si, you thanked me specifically for an outsider.”
He never imagined that not only would he have to compete for affection with men and Erniu, but with women as well!
Jiang Si couldn’t be bothered to banter with him and sighed, “I should still explain things clearly to Miss Chu Chu when I have the chance.”
“What’s there to explain? She’s fine now anyway,” Yu Jin felt it unnecessary.
Jiang Si frowned, “I can’t pretend to be someone’s benefactor after causing them harm.”
Yu Jin smiled and ruffled her hair, “Our A Si is truly a good girl.”
He thought it was perfectly fine to sell someone and still have them count the money.
Jiang Si tilted her head to avoid his hand, “What’s the second thing?”
With the matter of Chu Chu settled and no news about finding someone to help Yu Qi, she couldn’t think of what else there could be.
Yu Jin suddenly leaned in closer, his eyes full of sincerity, “The second thing is even more important than the first.”
“What is it?”
The young man’s dark, bright eyes were filled with tenderness as he said each word slowly, “I missed you.”
Jiang Si’s face inexplicably turned red.
It was strange; when he kissed or hugged her, she only wanted to kiss him back, completely unaware of what embarrassment was. But here in her quiet boudoir at night, hearing him say these words, she suddenly experienced the thrill of a racing heart.
This feeling made Jiang Si a bit flustered.
A large hand reached out and grasped hers.
The young man’s hand was still somewhat thin, while the young woman’s was even more delicate.
Their clasped hands looked like two pieces of white jade in the lamplight.
Jiang Si withdrew her hand, feigning calmness, “Now that you’ve said what you came to say, you should go back.”
“Since I’m already here, you should at least let me have a drink of water,” Yu Jin was determined to linger a while longer. He picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip, immediately feeling as if he had gained a great advantage.
This was the teacup A Si had used.
The young woman’s surprised voice rang out, “That’s the water A Man left.”
Yu Jin’s face stiffened. The sip of water he had swallowed felt like a piece of burning coal falling into his stomach, searing uncomfortably.
After finally recovering, he was furious, “How can a maid be so ill-mannered, drinking from her mistress’s teacup in her room!”
Once A Si became his wife, he’d sell off both Erniu and A Man together.
Jiang Si watched Yu Jin’s anger with an amused smile.
Yu Jin suddenly realized, “A Si, you’re teasing me?”
To tease him with such a disgusting prank, was simply intolerable!
Yu Jin abruptly pulled Jiang Si towards him.
There was a table between them, and the teacup on it fell to the ground.
Yu Jin paid no attention to this, gripping Jiang Si and fiercely accusing her, “A Si, you’ve learned to be naughty!”
“Erniu is still here, don’t get handsy,” Jiang Si warned, noticing the dog approaching from the corner of her eye.
“Ignore it.”
It’s not like Erniu could tell anyone.
The large dog, who had silently come over and watched for a while, hesitated for a moment before biting his male master’s bottom.
