Chapter 9

The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (9)

Jiang Zhe had previously squeezed out the time to handle Li Mings issues. Returning to work, he was so busy every day, sometimes only returning to the Jiang estate in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, he had a good memory, and continued to pressure himself to settle most of the work before the 10th, so that he could return to the Jiang family at noon.

Mother Jiang had already prepared big table full of dishes. She stood in front of the door, looking forward to hearing the news that the "Eldest Young Master is back". The smile on her face could not be concealed by anything.

Mother Jiang pulled Zhang Ma over: "Come, help me see. Do I look alright?"

Zhang Ma looked carefully and smiled: "Old Madam, rest assured. Your bearing is perfect."

Mother Jiang was satisfied, and she continued to stare in the direction of the courtyard door.

After a moment of effort, she asked again, "Why isnt Zheer here yet?"

Zhang Ma: "My dear Old Madam, the entrance is quite a few doorways away from here. How can it be so fast?"

Mother Jiang brows wrinkled slightly: "The Old Master is also too much. There are only so many people in the family, whats the use of such a big estate."

This sentence, Zhang Ma did not dare answer.

Fortunately, after waiting in anticipation for so long, Jiang Zhe finally appeared. Where would others appear in Mother Jiangs eyes? Walking forward a few steps, she pulled on her sons hands, "Youre so cheeky, to specially come and visit today. Come, see if the dishes Mother prepared for you suits your appetite."

Jiang Zhe well-temperedly walked along with her. Mother Jiang was almost the only one talking during the whole lunch, while Jiang Zhe will occasionally agree with her, and praise the food when he ate something nice.

Every time that happened, Mother Jiang would always smile till her eyes closed.

Mother Jiang said, anticipatory: "If Zheer likes the dishes here, then you should come often. It isnt far anyway."

Jiang Zhe paused while eating, then nodded.

Mother Jiang face brightened up and she smiled widely, giving him more dishes. "Try this, these are pearl meatballs. Its fresh, tender, round and juicy, salty, sweet and slightly spicy. And this too, this squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is also quite good."

Jiang Zhe generally would not refuse what was given, but if it was something he didnt like, he would still refuse.

This undoubtedly made Mother Jiang more energetic.

Jiang Zhe said helplessly: "Mother, are you not hungry?"

Mother Jiang: "Mother is not hungry."

Jiang Zhe:

Cui Xi meekly said: "Yes, Young Mistress."

After Cui Xi left, Li Cai Wei couldnt resist the smile in her lips.

In the study room, Jiang Zhe randomly took a travel literature book, and was reading it with relish. Upon hearing the knock on the door, his head didnt even lift as he said: "Come in."

Li Cai Wei deliberately put on a plain white cheongsam with light blue floral embroidery. Wearing a pair of white high-heeled shoes, her entire being looked bright and beautiful, like a blooming orchid, with an illusory fragrance.

The slender high heel stepped on the floor, giving rise to a regular tempo.

Jiang Zhe heard it and looked up. He was stunned for a moment, smiling: "Beautiful."

Li Cai Wei remembered the man to be usually more serious, frowning, and intolerant. This was the first time she saw this man smiling from his heart.

His eyebrows were arched, and the coldness in his eyes faded, replaced by a kind of unclear warmth, similar to the warm sun on a winters day, a cool breeze on a summers day. Though its not strong, but once you experience it, it is impossible to forget.

His warm praise still echoed in her ears, and without going through her brain, she blurted out what she felt, "You look beautiful too."

Shui Gen / Cui Xi: ( | | |) _

What kind of conversation is this.

Who praises a man to be beautiful.

Li Cai Wei also realized that it was wrong. She waved her hands, trying to explain it, only to find that she still had a glass teapot in her hands.

Jiang Zhe lowered his eyes and chuckled, slowly getting up to walk over to Li Cai Wei. He took the teapot and placed it on the wooden desk, instructing Shui Gen: "Go out and keep watch."

Shui Gen / Cui Xi: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."

Before Cui Xi walked out, she turned around and gave Li Cai Wei a bright smile.

Li Cai Weis ears were burning red. Jiang Zhe poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Need to cool down?"

At this moment, not only was her ears red, but her whole face turned red too.

TN: TEASING HUBBY!! It actually says that Jiang Zhe looks good aka , but I felt like it didnt fit the context because saying a guy looks good isnt anything weird in english, so I changed it to beautiful instead. Usually you would call a guy good-looking or handsome, but Im not sure what kind of connotation has either, tbh.
