After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 56

ARC 2: THE FILM EMPEROR FROM HUMBLE ORIGINS (12)

Qi Yuan remembered that this woman also brought a chunk of beef from the supermarket. Where did the beef go?

After eating for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore. Looking up, he pretended to have just recalled it and asked Yan Ge innocently: "Jie, didn't you stir-fry the meat you bought?"

Yan Ge quickly answered: "It's not good to combine them. It's a bit too mixed."

Do you even know what mixed is? Qi Yuan looked at the various greens in the bowl. His heart was full of criticism against her, but they had all been blocked by the vegetables in his throat.

Gifts blind the eyes. First, he'll tolerate it then wait for her to expose her fox tail before chastising her.

Yan Ge said: "I stewed the beef in the pressure cooker. It should be ready soon."

As soon as she said this, a 'ding' was heard from the kitchen. Yan Ge immediately got up and brought over the pot of stewed beef: "I didn't know how you liked it cooked, so I set a time at will."

Qi Yuan looked at the large chunk of glistening white beef which obviously had no ingredients, and then looked at the woman's serious expression.

After a beat, he reacted. This woman was not testing his tolerance. She might not know how to cook at all!

Perhaps she was a pampered miss whose fingers never even touched spring water.

"Let me." He got up and took the knife from her hands to cut the chunk of meat.

Their fingers touched for a brief moment before separating.

He was too close to her, and when he lowered his head slightly, he could see her gentle features.

One had to admit they were the delicate features of a pretty woman. Not only was she pretty, her soft temperament made people feel a desire to get close to her.

As his gaze fell on her long and slightly curled eyelashes, the beef's odor suddenly dissipated, replaced by the scent of shampoo emanating from her hair.

His throat rolled unconsciously.

She raised her head and spoke to him with a smile: "This meat should be tasty when dipped in a bit of sauce."

As he looked into her smiling eyes, his expression softened, but his body subconsciously stiffened.

"En." He said: "It should be very good."

She reached out and ruffled his hair: "I'm glad you like it."

Suddenly, his heart thumped wildly without end.

He struggled to suppress the blush and racing heart rate. Only after that did he curse out 'holy shit' at the bottom of his heart.

This woman's provocative moves are formidable!

He felt like he had met his opponent and a restless desire to play against her for a few hundred rounds stirred up in his heart.

The meal was difficult to describe.

After the meal, Qi Yuan took the initiative to take care of the dishes and dumped the leftovers in the bin as soon as he could. Although his heart hurt over the chunk of beef, it hurt even more when he thought about the few bites he ate.

The two got to work after their lunch, though most of it was Qi Yun working hard and Yan Ge directing his efforts.

Perhaps it had gotten too hot. He took his shirt off, exposing the defined back and abdominal muscles across his waist.

As he moved the bed board to the study and the desk to the living room, his pants slipped slightly and seemed to inadvertently expose the mermaid line whenever he stretched.

He heard her surprised voice followed by the sound of steps walking towards him. Then, her fingers touched his lower abdomen.

He was still holding the desk's drawers above his head. Tilting his head down, he looked at her with an expression that seemed to ask what was wrong.

However, his heart was actually happy. As expected, women were visual creatures. She's already making her move. Hmph!
