After listening to Xia Shang's words, Ruyan shyly and coquettishly brought the soup pot in her arms to Xia Shang. Seeing that Xia Shang let go of her little hand as per the words, she quickly took it out.
Xia Shang didn't joke, he opened the soup pot and took a bowl.
When he saw it, his eyebrows trembled slightly: "Master, the soup is already..."
"It doesn't matter. To be honest, you came just in time. I was a little hungry. It's just that it's so late. I don't need to bring it myself in the future. I can just ask a servant to deliver it."
After receiving the young master's approval, Liu Ruyan's face became more happy, and then a little guilty: "Master, this morning..."
Xia Shang interrupted again: "Needless to say, I understand. During the day, you said you asked the cook to make it, but you actually made it yourself. Am I right?"
Liu Ruyan lowered his head.
"Don't do this anymore. Don't force yourself to do something you're not good at."
Ruyan remained silent, silently watching Xia Shang speak one mouth after another.
Xia Shang drank the soup, but his mind was on Ruyan.
This woman is as gentle as a gust of wind, like a drop of cinnabar in a black and white freehand landscape, with a touch of red smearing out, like a little spice in a peaceful life, always giving people a comfortable, relaxed but endearing feeling.
Xia Shang gradually understood why his wife liked her so much and was so relieved. Even he could not resist such a woman. Xia Shang was a little doubtful. He wondered how long he could persist if he did this every day? Maybe he would really like her soon.
she.
But there was one thing Xia Shang was worried about, because Liu Ruyan did everything so well and perfectly, with almost no flaws.
Gentle and sensible, well-controlled in advance and retreat, extremely intelligent, and not arrogant, it can be said that Liu Ruyan is the most perfect second wife in a man's heart, and she can't find any problems.
It is precisely because it is too perfect that Xia Shang is worried. Things that are too perfect are often unreal. Thinking about it calmly, it is even more difficult to see through Liu Ruyan's true heart.
After Xia Shang finished the soup, Liu Ruyan simply packed it up and left with the empty bowl without lingering or complaining at all. It seemed that the cold reception in the past few days had not left any bad feeling in her heart.
It was already very late when Xia Shang went to bed, and he slept until noon the next day.
In the guest room in the main courtyard, Chunjiao had been waiting for a long time, but she still didn't see Xia Shang come out, and she felt angry in her heart.
But everyone in Jiangnanchun was controlled by Xia and Shang and could not have an attack. This made everyone feel unspeakably uncomfortable in their hearts.
In the same hall, Liu Ruyan, as the second roommate, temporarily received Qin Huairou when there were no guests. He asked his servants to make a pot of tea and bring some snacks, and then sat with him in the hall.
Chun Jiao and Liu Ruyan didn't know each other, so they had nothing to talk about when they were sitting in the same room.
"When will Xia Chunqiu come?"
"Don't worry, girl, I've already sent someone to call the young master."
Chunjiao couldn't help it. No matter how she asked, the other party always looked so weak, which was really annoying.
Chunjiao couldn't wait any longer, and was about to ask again when she saw the despicable man coming dressed like a dog, accompanied by a pretty little maid.
Xia Shang smiled, proud of the spring breeze, and waved to Chunjiao from a distance: "Miss Chunjiao, you are finally here."
Seeing that man's mean smile, Chunjiao had the urge to hit him.
Xia Shang arrived at the living room and waved Xiaoyue and Liu Ruyan to get out of the way.
After Xiaoyue and Liu Ruyan left, Xia Shang closed the door to the living room.
"Has your mother accepted the reality?"
Xia Shang's words were very direct and a bit harsh. Chunjiao frowned: "If I hadn't accepted the reality, would I be here?"
Xia Shang smiled: "Just accept it, just accept it! Now that you have accepted the reality, should you respect me a little bit? Xiao Jiaojiao..."
The last sentence, "Xiao Jiao Jiao", sounded like a joke, which made Chun Jiao cry out with goosebumps all over her body.
"I'm telling you, you can ask me to serve you, but if you want to humiliate me, be careful that I fight you to the death!"
"With your mentality, I highly doubt whether you are qualified for the task I have given you. You should know that I don't let you be my personal maid to control you or use you as a hostage, because I don't know how to do it at all.
need.
The purpose of letting you be a maid is very simple, I just want you to protect me personally. I am a person who is very afraid of death, and I never feel at ease without a bodyguard by my side. But I can't always keep this man behind me, so I can only find a woman.
.
First of all, if I die, you will be killed by the brain-eating Gu sooner or later. When it comes to protecting me, I believe you will do your best. But there is one thing I need to understand first. Do you think you can protect me?"
Xia Shang spoke very seriously and did not mean to make fun of him at all.
Chunjiao was used to this way of talking, and her depressed mood improved. After listening to Xia Shang's words, she sneered: "Can I protect you? What a joke! I..."
"Little girl, I don't care how powerful you are. I just want you to have basic professional qualities! If you never control your emotions, I will seriously doubt whether you can detect potential dangers. If you can't reassure me, I may
Someone else will come, but I can’t guarantee whether they will be given to you next time.”
"Are you threatening me?"
"I never admitted that I didn't threaten you from the beginning. I don't want to argue with you about this. To prove my ability, I have to fight with my wife first."
After a while, Qin Huairou heard that her husband had hired a beautiful bodyguard from somewhere. If he wanted to test the other party's ability, he had to try it out himself.
Qin Huairou had no objection and had not used force against anyone for a long time, so she should have some expectations in her heart.
Soon, Qin Huairou and Chunjiao stood in the yard with their swords drawn.
Qin Huairou holds a sword, while Chunjiao is bare-handed.
Xia Shang stood between the two of them: "The rules are very simple. Defeat my wife within ten moves, but you can't hurt a hair on my wife's head."
"Ten moves? Still can't hurt people? Aren't you forcing things on others?" Chunjiao frowned and protested loudly.
"If you don't have this ability, how can you talk about protection?"
Chunjiao was helpless after hearing this and could only bite the bullet and agree.
No one is afraid of death, and Chunjiao is no exception. She is also worried that she will not be able to get the next antidote.
Although the rules are harsh, Xia Shang believes in his own vision. He has seen many masters and has a feeling about Chunjiao. This young girl should be more powerful than her mother because she never controls her emotions.
People who don't control their emotions are either fools or capable people!
I just don’t know what Chunjiao is...
With a trace of doubt, Chunjiao took action.
Taking a step forward, Chunjiao's body seemed to have lost weight, and no sound could be heard. Her whole body rose into the air, leaping three feet higher.
Qin Huairou was shocked. Even his own father could not achieve such powerful Qinggong.
Qin Huairou didn't have time to think too much. She raised her sword and tried her best to deal with the opponent who descended from the sky.
But before Qin Huairou made a move, Chunjiao suddenly disappeared in the air. Just now, she turned out to be a phantom, dazzling people under the scorching sun and deceiving everyone!
When Chunjiao's real figure appeared in everyone's sight, she was already behind Qin Huairou. With a tap of her finger, Qin Huairou's figure was frozen. (To be continued)
