In a moment of impulse, I forcibly kissed my brother's best friend.

"Which place?" he asked, knowing the answer already.

"You... bastard..."

Before she could finish speaking, he kissed her. He pried open her lips and teeth, drawing them in and sucking repeatedly. Her resistance grew weaker and weaker, until she was pressed against him, her front becoming even more exposed.

Taking advantage of the situation, he secretly slipped his hand inside.

She started trembling all over.

Cui Yutang kissed her as he pressed her down onto the bed, his body moving downwards until he reached her breasts. Her strapless dress, already fragile, quickly fell apart, revealing the stunning view of her peaks. He felt a surge of heat coursing through his body, his eyes seeming to hold a storm within them.

He immediately covered it up, lingering at the top.

Xie Yige trembled all over, turning into spring water.

She held his head, which was pressing against her back, and felt a mixture of pity, secret joy, and pain.

This person is bullying him; she's gone mad.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally ate his fill.

His ears were bright red, his head was down, and his long eyelashes trembled.

As if he knew he had done something wrong, he gently straightened her clothes, but he still couldn't help touching her smooth skin from time to time. His fingertips sent jolts of electricity through her, and even the soft fabric of her clothes caused a strange, tingling pain in her upper body.

Xie Yige's heart was pounding so fast that her limbs felt weak.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Cui Yutang gently kissed her forehead: "You stay here for now, I'll go out and take a look."

"Um."

When he opened the door, he found that the person serving the food had arrived. Plates of exquisite dishes, fragrant with aroma, were brought in and quickly filled the table—braised mutton, crispy mountain, steamed fish, osmanthus cake… all of which were her favorites.

Standing at the door, Baoyu and Zhixia couldn't help but glance inside. They didn't see Xie Yige; she must be in the rest room. Zhixia thought about how long they had been inside and couldn't help but worry.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but glare fiercely at Baoyu. Baoyu looked completely innocent.

The owner, a quick-witted man in his early thirties, said in a low voice after the dishes were laid out, "Master, we'll head out now. Call me if you need anything."

Cui Yutang nodded slightly. The boss then gently closed the door and left.

Cui Yutang went into the inner room, squatted down beside the couch, and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Would you like to go get something to eat?"

Xie Yige blushed and gently hooked her arm around his neck. Cui Yutang was delighted and picked her up, placing her on a chair at the dining table.

Xie Yige looked at the table full of delicious food and couldn't help but swallow. She glanced at the door and said softly, "Have Zhixia and Baoyu sit at a table next door; they must be hungry too."

Cui Yutang affectionately tapped her forehead: "I understand."

He then opened the door and relayed Xie Yige's arrangements to the two people who were locked in a stalemate at the entrance.

Bao Yu immediately beamed with joy.

He was finally going to have a good life. His future mistress was indeed kind, generous, and understanding, unlike his master, who was a blockhead. Zhi Xia glared at Bao Yu before slowly leaving the doorway.

Cui Yutang returned to the table and sat down, then picked up a damp cloth and wiped Xie Yige's hands.

He carefully wiped each finger, as if handling some precious treasure. Xie Yige blushed at his actions.

This person is too particular.

"Eat up." With that, he placed a goose leg on her plate.

Xie Yige had just been exhausted by him in the inner room and was extremely hungry.

She picked up the delicious goose leg, took a small bite, and her eyes immediately narrowed. "So delicious...you should eat it!" she exclaimed, her words slightly slurred.

Looking at her, Cui Yutang felt more content than ever before.

He also ate his meal slowly and deliberately, and his every move showed the full extent of his upbringing.

Xie Yige picked up a green dumpling and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"It's a mildly spicy partridge meat dumpling; I hear a lot of people order it. Try it and see if you can handle it."

Xie Yige took a small bite, and the next second she wrinkled her face: "Ouch, it's spicy!"

Cui Yutang quickly brought her a cup of tea. She drank a few sips from his hand and finally felt better.

"Looks like you're not used to spicy food, I won't order spicy dishes for you anymore." He said, then picked up the half-eaten meatball she had eaten and calmly ate it.

"Cui Yutang... I've already bitten him." Xie Yige's face instantly turned bright red.

"It's okay." He calmly wiped the corner of her lips. "You can give me anything you don't like to eat in the future."

This person is really... unfair.

Xie Yige glared at him, then continued to enjoy her feast.

She simply asked him to serve her the dishes that were a little further away. "Why not use free labor?" Xie Yige thought sweetly.

It was nearly dusk when we prepared to return. The river flowed gently, its surface rippling like countless golden scales under the glow of the setting sun, its surface shimmering and spreading across the entire river.

Xie Yige stood on the shore, a gentle breeze lifting her skirt. She raised her hand to tidy her wind-blown hair, then turned to board her carriage.

As Cui Yutang watched her departing figure, his heart began to pound with anxiety again.

"Yige," he called to her.

"I have something for you." He paused, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Can I come with you?"

Seeing his hesitant expression, Xie Yige nodded.

So Baoyu ended up driving an empty carriage alone, following behind Xie Yige's carriage.

His master is really clingy.

After getting into the car, Cui Yutang didn't dare to say much and sat quietly for a while. The only sounds in the car were the wheels rolling over the road and the ambiguous breathing of the two of them.

"Is this guy just here to hitch a ride?" Xie Yige couldn't help but glare at him, only to see him cough dryly with a shifty look in his eyes before slowly extending a hand towards her.

In his hand was an exquisite white jade bottle.

"What's this?" Xie Yige took it, opened the bottle, and brought it to her nose to smell. There was a faint floral scent mixed with the aroma of medicine, elegant and not pungent.

"It's a secret medicine from the palace." His voice sounded somewhat unnatural. "It's to relieve...postpartum...bloating."

He glanced quickly at the bulge in her chest, then immediately lowered his head as if electrocuted, unable to look at her any longer. His flushed ears betrayed his unease.

Xie Yige blushed instantly and glared at him through gritted teeth.

"You prepared the medicine beforehand, and then you did that to me up there..."

"Did you come prepared, or do you just want to test its effects?"
