Chapter 259

C259 – Rogue

“How can you ignore your soon-to-be wife?”

Loong Xiaoyi possessed a silver tongue, which never failed to bring joy to Ann Yichen.

“You’re just mocking me, aren’t you?” Ann Yichen’s expression turned sour instantly.

“Nope.”

With a smile accompanying his denial, he released Ann Yichen and ceased his teasing.

“You stay in the living room and watch TV for me. I’ll be done in the kitchen in about half an hour.”

Heading towards the kitchen, he made sure to draw the curtains on his way.

Ann Yichen stood rooted in place, wearing a dumbfounded expression.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

“That rascal just lifted me and left like that?”

Anger coursed through Ann Yichen as he stormed towards the kitchen.

Witnessing Ann Yichen’s aggressive approach, Loong Xiaoyi was taken aback, but then he quipped, “Are you here to help me with the vegetables?”

Ann Yichen’s temper flared at the remark, ready to explode. However, a loud rumble emanated from his stomach, instantly engulfing him in embarrassment.

“You said you were hungry, didn’t you? I simply wanted to hurry and prepare you a meal, but who knew you’d interpret it that way,” Ye Zichen explained.

Loong Xiaoyi responded with a smile, unruffled by anger.

“Indeed, isn’t it excessive for me to depart after a friendly gesture without even saying hello?”

“So, are you heading back to your room now?” Ye Zichen’s lips curved into a mischievous smile as he gestured towards the room.

“What more are you planning? You’re already irritating me to no end. Come and eat with me,” Ye Zichen urged, pushing Loong Xiaoyi aside, showing his lack of appreciation for the favor.

“Then after you’ve had your fill, that should suffice, right?” Ye Zichen kissed Ann Yichen and smiled.

With Ye Zichen’s handsome face so close and his gentlemanly demeanor, Ann Yichen found himself ensnared, staring at Loong Xiaoyi in a daze without reacting.

Loong Xiaoyi’s lips quirked up. “Got it. I’ll serve you after I finish my meal. It’s a deal,” he stated calmly.

Upon regaining his senses, Ann Yichen felt neither embarrassed nor angry, though he couldn’t help but tease, “Ruffian.”

Nevertheless, he continued to stick by Loong Xiaoyi.

“What a troublemaker!” A bright grin spread across his face before he scrutinized Ann Yichen from head to toe. “But it seems you prefer my rough-edged appearance!”

He leaned in close to Ann Yichen’s ear, causing him to blush profusely.

“This is driving me insane! This brat knows how to stoke the flames even further. He’s turned into a sly wolf, unfazed by my reprimands.”
