Jingxia Rose

Chapter 197 [Shi Yi 047] YS, Yi Xu and Shi Wan
Yi Xu glanced to the side and saw a pair of straight legs under the shirt. When he looked up, he saw that she was wearing the shirt he had taken out of the dressing room to wear today, as well as her beautiful, fair neck and collarbone.

Shi Wan yawned, complaining as she picked up the new toothbrush Yi Xu had opened for her. "That meal won't be delivered for an hour. I might starve to death by the time it arrives."

"What did you order?"

"Steamed dumplings, sweet tofu pudding, pumpkin porridge, grilled sausage, a fruit salad, oh, and two steamed buns."

After she finished brushing her teeth, she bent down to wash her face with water. As she closed her eyes and looked for a towel, Yi Xu had already stuffed it into her hand.

The next moment, the man hugged her from behind, his warm breath spraying onto her neck.

It feels tingly and itchy.

When she felt something pressing against her from below, Shi Wan looked at Yi Xu in the mirror and cursed, "Don't be so delusional this early in the morning!"

"I'm not dizzy, I'm having sex," Yi Xu said in a hoarse voice. "Aren't you hungry? Your breakfast hasn't arrived yet, so let's eat something else first, okay?"

"Damn it... ah..."

Before Shi Wan could finish speaking, Yi Xu had already grabbed her waist, picked her up, and placed her on the sink, showering her with a hot, tender kiss.

In the end, I didn't get to eat breakfast until two hours later.

Shi Wan's phone rang three times in the past hour, and the battery was down to only 20%.

Yi Xu found her a charger.

Shi Wan originally had a lot of work to do in the morning, but now that she was delayed, she was too lazy to rush over, so she simply took Yi Xu's laptop to select products.

Yi Xu continued to build the cat tree that he hadn't finished yesterday.

I ate breakfast quite late, and I wasn't very hungry at noon, so I didn't eat anything. I changed my clothes and drove to the company.

She didn't get off work until after 8 p.m. She originally wanted to go back to Shangxi Garden, but her little one was still at Jingyuan.

Just as she was hesitating, Yi Xu called to ask where she was.

"On the way."

"On the way to Jingyuan?"

Shangxi Garden.

What are you doing back at Shangxi Garden?

"Get some clothes."

“I’ve already taken it for you. Just come to Jingyuan.”

Shi Wan: "Took it? When?"

"afternoon."

"..."

Fine.

Shi Wan pursed her lips, turned around, and drove towards Jingyuan.

When the building manager saw her, unlike last night, he didn't have her register. He nodded to her in greeting and then swiped her elevator card.

It seems that Yi Xu had given prior notice.

When they returned home, the princess greeted them as usual.

This guy only arrived here yesterday, but he adapts very quickly. He started exploring and running around the house last night.

Moreover, it seems to really like the cat tree that Yixu bought for it; it doesn't sleep in the tree, and it always sleeps on the tree.

As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by the rich aroma of food.

Her uncooperative stomach growled loudly.

She didn't eat lunch, and in the afternoon she only ate an egg tart that Yu Xuan bought. She was too busy to find time to eat in the evening.

"Where... did this come from?"

She stared at the table full of delicious-looking dishes, speechless, and asked...

There was also a white vase on the table, filled with a few red, champagne, and white roses, and a scented candle was lit.

If you smell it carefully, you can also smell a light and subtle jasmine fragrance in the aroma of the food.

It's the flavor she likes.

Candles, a candlelight dinner?

and many more……

The dishes were arranged in a heart shape?
Whoops!

"Bought it? It didn't just fall from the sky, did it?" Yi Xu said with amusement. "Go wash your hands and eat. It'll get cold if you don't eat soon." Shi Wan blinked, a little confused, and went to wash her hands with a blank expression. When she returned to the dining table, Yi Xu gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her.

She stared at the things on the table and said thoughtfully, "You're acting... strange today."

"Tsk, Shi Wan, have you lost all your romantic instincts?" Yi Xu said. "Don't ruin the mood."

Shi Wan remained silent.

Yi Xu poured her a glass of red wine, then slowly raised his glass, "Come on, let's have a drink."

"..."

Shi Wan clinked glasses with him, and as the silky, sweet wine filled her mouth, she immediately felt relaxed.

The table was covered with her favorite dishes, and even the scented candles smelled just like her.

She knew this was Yi Xu's way of being romantic and a surprise for her.

She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Which restaurant did you get these dishes from?"

“Mingji Restaurant,” Yi Xu said. “A friend of mine owns this restaurant. I made a call to them, and they prepared the food and delivered it directly to my door. They will come to pick up the plates tomorrow morning.”

"It's too much trouble, we might as well just go to a restaurant to eat."

“If we go to a restaurant and prepare these things, I won’t be doing it myself. Besides, I’m worried you’ll feel uncomfortable. If this gets trending again, someone will say I’m trying to ride her coattails.”

Yi Xu sneered and glanced at her sideways.

"..."

That scoundrel still holds a grudge.

In April, the two of them went to Erhai Lake and were photographed by passersby. They inexplicably became a trending topic, and Shi Wan jokingly said that he was trying to ride on her popularity.

However, Shi Wan was in a good mood now and didn't argue with him, so she picked up her chopsticks and ate some food.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious." After trying the three dishes, Shi Wan raised her eyebrows and pointed to one of them, saying, "This is delicious. It tastes exactly the same as what I had in Yunxiang City before."

There are 12 dishes on the table. Although the portions are not large, each dish is exquisite.

Four of these dishes are specialty dishes of Yunxiang City.

She is from Yunxiang City.

On the Lantern Festival this year, she told him about her family situation and lamented that she hadn't been back for many years and hadn't been able to eat authentic Hunan cuisine.

Apart from Ji Xian, she had never told anyone about her family situation.

Even when they were dating back then, they never mentioned it.

At that time, she opened her heart to Yi Xu.

Surprisingly, Yi Xu remembered her feelings from that day.

"If you like it, we can go to the restaurant next time. His restaurant hired a chef last month, who happens to be from Yunxiang City, and he cooks quite well."

Shi Wan smiled and agreed.

When they had almost finished eating, Yi Xu pulled out a small box from somewhere and pushed it in front of her.

Shi Wan was stunned when she saw the shape of the box, then suddenly looked up and asked, "You...you're not thinking of proposing, are you?"

"What are you asking for!" Yi Xu said bluntly. "But this is the gift I originally prepared for you on May 520th. Open it and take a look."

Shi Wan was speechless. She reached out and picked up the ring box, opened it, and saw two plain rings, one large and one small, lying inside.

It's a couple's style.

The women's version has an irregularly crossed diamond clasp, while the men's version has a frosted diamond outer ring with a half-letter mark below. When combined with the women's version, they form the initials of their names.

YS.

Yi Xu and Shi Wan.

Unlike wedding rings, which are grand and luxurious, these are exquisite, simple, and elegant.

"These rings are called Rupert's Tears."

Shi Wan looked up at him and understood the underlying meaning in his words.

Rupert's Tears, you will always be my Achilles' heel.

Yi Xu took the women's ring from her, took her hand, and slowly slipped it onto her middle finger. He whispered, "Shi Wan, we don't have to get married, but I hope that the person standing by your side... will always be me."

A smile spread across Shi Wan's eyes. "It must be you."

That concludes this extra chapter, muah muah muah muah. I still can't guarantee an update at midnight, so please check back during the day, muah muah muah. The previous chapter was originally scheduled for midnight, but it was locked during review and wasn't released until around 10 AM.
