The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Jiang Nan felt his surging heat, and thinking of the child in her womb, she hurriedly struggled to stop him.

"Third Master!"

Jiang Nan's lips were swollen and red from the kisses. "You can make me thank you however you want, but not that."

She lowered her eyelids and pointed to her abdomen.

The meaning is quite clear: she's pregnant.

Xiao Beixun was very close to her, looking down at her, his breath hot and scorching as it fell on her face.

"Who knows whose child this is?"

Jiang Nan was slightly annoyed.

From Xiao Beixun's perspective, as a patient with severe asthenospermia, it's normal to have such doubts.

But as a normal woman, she was also angry that he didn't trust her.

"Third Master, you don't have to believe it now. Once the amniocentesis is done, the truth will come out."

She frowned, playfully pushed his shoulder, and turned to go inside.

She was about to close the door.

Xiao Beixun blocked her from closing the door by placing one hand on the electronic door panel.

"As a thank you, since you can't eat meat, then give me noodles instead."

Jiang Nan misunderstood, "Huh?"

Xiao Beixun pushed open the door, his tall figure entering from outside, brushing past her as he walked inside.

It was as if they were already familiar with this place.

Seeing Jiang Nan standing there without moving, she turned her head and glared at him. "What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to give me my noodles?"

Jiang Nan realized what was happening, and her cheeks quickly flushed crimson.

How could she have thought of that...?

that?

"I'll go now."

Jiang Nan remained calm and forced a smile at him.

Close the door.

Without even glancing at Xiao Beixun, she quickly entered the kitchen.

Light the fire and boil the water.

Then came a playful voice from behind, "What were you thinking about just now?"

Breath drips down from the side of the neck.

The heat made her tense up all over. "I was just thinking about making noodles for Third Master."

She tried to remain calm, acting as if nothing had happened.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Beixun's deep eyes were fixed on her face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "I thought Miss Jiang was referring to the 'down there' in the message she sent."

Jiang Nan has confirmed it.

He was teasing her on purpose.

When she noticed he wasn't replying to her messages, she would often send him flirtatious WeChat messages on purpose.

She figured that since he wasn't responding anyway, it didn't matter what she said; she might as well try to rekindle the spark.

Jiang Nan cleared her throat silently, then arrogantly raised her chin. "I am a well-educated and sensible young lady, and I would never say anything that is different from the literal meaning of the words."

"Third Master, you've misunderstood."

She raised her red lips into a bright smile, refusing to admit it even if she were to die.

Xiao Beixun scoffed, "Sending me nude photos is considered a misunderstanding?"

Jiang Nan choked.

His feigned composure vanished completely.

A burning sensation seemed to explode on my face, making me so embarrassed I wanted to die.

But she was a well-trained young lady.

Her delicate, flushed face still retained the pride of a young lady. "Third Master, it's rather impolite of you not to reply after reading this message."

She gave a reproachful snort, as if throwing a tantrum like a spoiled princess, and pushed the person away.

The water has boiled.

She put the ramen into the pot.

Xiao Beixun assumed that she was a pampered young lady who didn't understand these things.

But her movements were quite skillful; she cooked the eggs, added the seasonings, and completed each step without missing a single one.

Ten minutes later.

A steaming bowl of noodles was placed in front of Xiao Beixun.

Jiang Nan, with an arrogant expression, said, "Egg ramen, Third Master, please enjoy."

Xiao Beixun sat at the dining table.

The steam rising from the bowl obscured his cold, handsome features, making them appear somewhat ethereal.

That cold aura was softened somewhat, making him seem less unapproachable.

He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

His thick, sword-like eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Jiang Nan asked, sitting opposite him with expectant eyes.

"It looks good."

Xiao Beixun hesitated for two seconds.

"I asked if it tasted good?" Jiang Nan asked with a smile, which made her less aloof than usual.

They even desperately wanted to know the answer.

After all, it was her first time cooking.

For fourteen years, she had no opportunity to cook.

Her aunt strictly supervised her learning rules and etiquette.

Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and now dance.

Ballet, Latin dance...

Every day is packed with classes and photos, and even the strands of hair need to be kept shiny and smooth.

My aunt said that this is the standard for daughters of prominent families.

After a long while, Xiao Beixun gave a very faint "hmm" and ate two more bites.

His expression was cold and stern, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

After spending this time together, Jiang Nan became much bolder in front of him, picking up her chopsticks and putting a mouthful of noodles directly into his bowl.

Just entered the mouth...

"Ptooey, ptooey..."

With a pained expression, she spat the noodles into the bone dish, saying, "Why is it so sweet?"

Xiao Beixun sat elegantly, watching her with a leisurely air. "Don't you know whether you added salt or sugar?"

"..."

Jiang Nancai didn't believe in superstition.

I got up and went back to the kitchen, taking out the spice jar from memory to confirm.

Upon closer inspection, the doubts on their faces gradually subsided into calm.

A fleeting hint of self-mockery crossed her eyes.

My aunt and uncle's plan was half successful; she really is a good-for-nothing.

They can't even cook noodles properly.

"Stop eating."

She returned to the table, picked up the bowl of noodles, and poured it into the trash can.

She looked up at Xiao Beixun and smiled, "I'll just order takeout."

Xiao Beixun noticed the fleeting emotion on her face, and pressed down on her hand holding the phone. "Let me do it."

Jiang Nan looked at him in surprise, "You can?"

Xiao Beixun merely gave a faint smile, got up, took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and went to the stove.

Light the fire and boil the water.

Fry an egg, then add noodles.

He was already handsome and tall, and standing in front of the stove, he seemed completely out of place.

But his well-defined face was focused, and his calm and aloof demeanor was, at this moment, made him exude a charmingly married man's aura.

Jiang Nan became engrossed in watching without realizing it.

She couldn't help but think that after the paternity test was completed, she would marry Xiao Beixun on her 23rd birthday, according to the contents of her will.

Even if it's just a mutually beneficial arrangement, having a husband like Xiao Beixun doesn't seem so bad...

It also took no more than ten minutes.

Two bowls of hot egg ramen were placed on the table.

"Try it." Xiao Beixun's low voice lacked its usual coldness.

Jiang Nan sniffed, inhaling the rich aroma; she hadn't eaten all day.

Her mouth was constantly drooling, and her hunger was becoming more acute.

She couldn't wait to take a bite.

The aroma of the fried egg blends perfectly with the ramen broth.

The noodles were springy and chewy, cooked to perfection.

"It's so delicious! Xiao Beixun, you're amazing!"

Jiang Nan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration and took two more bites.

Seeing how happily she was eating, Xiao Beixun smiled and said, "A little better than you."

A fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Jiang Nan's face, but she said haughtily, "I just haven't had the chance to do it yet."

"So you were just saying you'd give me something to eat, and that was all?" Xiao Beixun seemed to be in a rare good mood, raising an eyebrow as he asked.

Jiang Nan paused in her eating before tugging at her lips and saying, "Udon noodles don't need any seasoning, just cook them and mix in the sauce."

"...You're quite good at being perfunctory." Xiao Beixun's expression was indifferent. "Is this how you thank me?"

Jiang Nan stopped eating her noodles, looked at him seriously, and said, "I'm carrying your child, eliminating the possibility of you having no heir. Isn't that a good thing?"

She paused, her cold and beautiful face haughty as she said, "Besides, giving you the chance to marry me is a win-win situation for you."
