Chapter 251: Lamenting Husband of the Deep Chamber

Half an hour passed.

Qiao Sheng and Xiao Shitou just returned; they didn't have Yun Tian deliver, they came back in the carriage they rented.

They got off the carriage.

Qiao Sheng and Xiao Shitou noticed a carriage parked outside their front gate.

Xiao Shitou went over to look.

Qiao Sheng stopped him: "Go around and go straight home."

Shi Lin, hearing Qiao Sheng say that, lifted the carriage curtain, slipped out of the carriage, and leapt to land in front of them.

Xiao Shitou, seeing him, happily said, "Shi Shushu, you're back."

"Hmm, I'm back. I have something to discuss with your mother; you go home first."

As soon as Shi Lin said that, Xiao Shitou bolted away.

He saw him go home.

Shi Lin pressed a pressure point on Qiao Sheng, lifted them and flew to a nearby roof; he lingered on the roof for a moment, then continued flying with them until they reached the house he was renting, where he set them down.

He released the pressure point on Qiao Sheng.

Shi Lin stared at Qiao Sheng and asked, "Who did you go out to eat with first?"

What a broad intrusion.

Qiao Sheng recalled his words, opened his mouth and said, "What do you mean I went out to eat with someone? I even went with Xiao Shitou, alright; I'm not alone…"

"You still want to be alone?"

Shi Lin's voice was a few notes deeper than before.

He was even more vigorous.

Qiao Sheng said irritably, "A man unmarried, a woman unwed— even if I wanted to be alone, what of it? Are you my mother or my father? Your meddling…"

Shi Lin kissed her, though it was really a bite.

Qiao Sheng pushed him away: "Shi Lin, are you of the Dog sign?!"

Shi Lin pulled her back.

Now.

Qiao Sheng bit him instead.

But Shi Lin soon turned the tables, gaining the upper hand.

This time he was more impulsive than before, and even more reckless.

Qiao Sheng panicked; while Shi Lin was confused and enamored, she kicked out.

Shi Lin couldn't dodge in time and was struck in the thigh by Qiao Sheng's kick; though it was only the thigh, it still hurt: "You woman…"

"You're messing around!"

Qiao Sheng, recalling the scene, blushed; if she had let him continue as he did, she feared he would have completely taken her today.

Shi Lin hummed, his tone tinged with displeasure, and said, "Because you're so heartless, I'll help you catch someone; you stay home and go out to eat with a man."

Qiao Sheng: "……"

Why does he look so much like a 'deep‑chamber lamenting husband'?

Qiao Sheng spoke up to explain, "I turned down Yun Tian today, but since he insisted on treating me to a meal, I went out with Xiao Shitou and ate with him."

It turned out to be so.

Shi Lin said, "He didn't just treat you to a meal; I can see he has ulterior motives toward you."

She's so good‑looking; any man would surely keep her in mind.

Qiao Sheng slightly twisted the corner of her mouth and said, "It's not as you think; he treated us to a meal today and didn't say anything special."

"This is only the beginning; have I started telling you that I like you?"

Shi Lin asked Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng was speechless.

Shi Lin pretended to look aggrieved and said, "I came back and went straight to you; we haven't even had dinner, and you treat me like this. How unlucky am I…"

His little trick.

How could Qiao Sheng not see it?

She said to Shi Lin, "Enough, you! What do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll cook it. But do you have any ingredients?"

"I'll have someone fetch some and bring them back."

Shi Lin told Qiao Sheng to wait here while he flew off to find An Jiu and the others.

An Jiu and the others went quickly and returned quickly.

I must say.

Their efficiency was good; they brought back various ingredients.

It was getting late.

Since they still hadn't eaten, Qiao Sheng didn't make stew; she planned to stir‑fry a few dishes and then make a soup.
