Qi Muzhu's face turned red as she felt a sharp ray of light shooting towards her. She felt a slight chill down her spine, and quickly took away the hand on her neck and stood up straight.

Shen Zhi Qiao was surprised to see that he was staring straight ahead.

As she turned her gaze, she saw a man with eyes as black as snow looking at her from the doorway.

"When did you return to the residence?" Qi Mujing's voice was calm, and her expression was calm.

He didn't know whether it was because he hadn't eaten in the morning or because of something else, but he felt that his tongue was slightly bitter.

But she smiled. "It's been a while."

Her gaze landed on their intersecting hands. Her palms were wide and thick, while her hands were soft and white. It seemed like … Harmonious!

Following that, a strange feeling of loneliness appeared outside the door.

As for the gate that was in the middle, it was like a wide and endless river. It was difficult to cross it, but not easy to cross it.

Unused to the quiet atmosphere, Shen Zhi Qiao's mouth curved into a smile. Just as he was about to say something, a gust of cold wind blew across his face, followed by a warm feeling on his palm.

"Your body is cold and easy to cool. The last time we went out hunting, we managed to get a piece of fox skin. Next time, I'll get a servant girl to set up two warm sleeves for you. "

Shen Zhi Qiao looked at the hands that were rubbing against hers. With lowered eyes, he withdrew his hand and changed the direction of his arm, "Since Ah Jing said so, I'm really cold. It's windy outside. Let's hurry up and go in."

As his palm missed, Qi Mujing unhappily frowned, and his expression also became colder. He looked at the small hand on his arm and said stiffly, "En, let's go."

As she turned around, she saw the beautiful and weak woman's eyes filled with gentleness as she stared at the man beside her. Suddenly, her body swayed slightly, as if she would fall to the ground in the next moment.

She felt her arm tighten slightly before she pulled away. Then she heard him say, "Zhi-er's body isn't feeling well, so I shouldn't stay outside for too long. I'll take her back to her room first …"

After saying that, he rushed over and extended his hand to support her shoulders. His gaze was thick and overlapping, filled with gentleness like water.

Shen Shuzhi's pale cheeks blushed a little. Her red lips pursed, and she naturally leaned her chest against his back.

The two of them snuggled up to each other before turning around and leaving.

Shen thought, as the mistress of the house of the Marquis, she should take good care of her customers if they were in bad health.

Thus, she turned to Uncle Tie and said, "Uncle Tie, come with me to see Miss Shen."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Just now, I saw Miss Shen's face pale. I believe that she is quite ill. I should have treated her earlier."

Uncle Tie furrowed his brows as he looked at her. After a long while, he finally nodded his head and stepped forward to stand with her.

Shen Zhi Qiao smiled gratefully at Uncle Tie, lifting up his clothes as he prepared to enter.

"Madam, please wait a moment …"

He stopped and turned his body to look.

She was slightly suspicious. It was actually the boss that was usually neither cold nor hot to her — Qi Muyun!

Madam?!

Qi Muzhu stared blankly at Qi Muyun.

Qi Muyun glanced at Qi Muzhu with his hands behind his back, then said to Shen Zhiqiao, "Madam, I have something to tell you!"

With that, he walked in the direction of the pavilion in the garden.

Shen Zhi Qiao was also startled.

After hesitating for a moment, she followed him.

Shen Zhiqiao's front leg had just stepped out of the pavilion when his back leg was grabbed.

"Ah Zhi, come with me. We're not going to suffer from this!" Nan Yue's eyes were red, and her voice was somewhat hoarse.

Her sudden appearance caused Shen Zhiqiao to be slightly shocked. "Nan Yue, you haven't left yet?" Suddenly, he realized something. "The silver has not been given to you?!"

Slightly pulling her hand away, he stepped forward. "I'll bring it to you now."

"Ah Zhi, I heard it too!"

The person in front of her trembled slightly. Nan Yue couldn't bear it any longer, so she walked up to her and gently held her cold hand, "I heard what Qi Muyun said to you in the pavilion just now."

Shen Zhi Qiao's face paled as he raised his head and stared at her for a long time.

Suddenly, she raised her hand and grabbed her shoulder, smiling. "You haven't tasted my culinary arts, right? The day is not as good as the day after. How about I personally cook and entertain you today!"

"…"

In the kitchen.

Shen Zhi Qiao chased all the cooks out and personally washed the dishes. He personally prepared the ingredients for cooking.

Nan Yue wanted to help, but she rejected every single one of them with every possible reason.

Helpless, Nan Yue could only sit in front of the stove and watch the fire for her.

He couldn't help but look at her.

Her long hair was tied behind her head with a chopstick. She lowered her head and did it seriously with full concentration.

From start to finish, the corners of her mouth had been raised upwards …

Inwardly, he did not understand that she was "at peace" with a strange state of mind.

The Shen she knew was not a girl who could swallow her anger.

In the Scenic Spot's wing.

Shen Zhi Qiao stared unblinkingly at the dishes on the table. With both hands on his cheeks, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Nan Yue bit her lips, the anger in her heart overwhelming.

However, when he looked at the people sitting quietly beside him, he didn't feel like letting out all of his pent-up anger. He could only sit beside her quietly.

The two carried the food to the table. It was still noon when they sent someone to invite Qi Mujing. However, they saw that time had passed and that four hours had passed, yet no one had arrived.

The dishes on the table had been served and heated several times, and even the fresh dishes had changed color.

Several times, she wanted to ask her to stop waiting, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Furthermore, the dishes that she had cooked today were definitely something that someone loved to eat on a daily basis …

While he was still thinking, the person beside him suddenly stood up.
