章節 77: Another Devious Scheme

They were very close. The candlelight cast flickering shadows in between them. It was quiet in the study, almost like time had stopped. Love was subtly in the air.

Ji Yuxian gazed deeply into Su Jiu's eyes. His thin lips touched the corner of hers, soft and cool. He longed to explore the kiss deeper…

Su Jiu suddenly sneezed, spraying spit all over Ji Yuxian's face. She stepped to the side and said accusingly, "What are you doing so close to me?"

Ji Yuxian was at a loss for words. He inhaled deeply and wrinkled his brow. "My wife, what did you have for dinner?"

Su Jiu replied truthfully, "A chicken and two garlic cloves."

Ji Yuxian straightened his back and took some deep breaths with his eyes closed. He wiped his face with a handkerchief and managed to squeeze out a few words.

"My wife, why don't you go back and rest?"

"Oh."
