Chapter 1347: Chapter 1344: You Should Have Just Let Me Handle It

"Young Master, what are you doing? If you’re hungry, you should have just called me to do it. Why are you doing it yourself when you don’t know how?" Zi Ruoxi squinted her eyes with a smile. She suddenly felt a slight pain in her stomach; no, she really had to hold back her laughter. Quickly, she clapped her hands over her stomach, forcing herself to endure.

"Hehe, still, my wife knows how to care for me!" Qiao Junlie seized the chance to say smugly. He gazed at Zi Ruoxi with her refreshing, absolutely beautiful appearance; right now she seemed like a white lotus in the night, constantly emitting a subtle, heart-pleasing fragrance.

"Tch!" Zi Ruoxi replied, proudly raising her lips with an expression that carried a city-toppling allure and the arrogance of gazing at the world...

In an instant, Qiao Junlie was stunned, feeling his blood surging inside. Right now, she was like a proud peacock; no way, he wanted to subdue her immediately, to pluck away her feathers and have her completely submit.

Qiao Junlie pursed his lips with a slight smile.

"Proud Princess, aren’t you hungry? Come, eat something; you’ll be even prettier." Later, I’ll love you even more. Of course, he didn’t say the last sentence. Qiao Junlie grinned viciously, his inner thoughts couldn’t help but become restless; then he placed all the food on the table.

Zi Ruoxi, upon hearing him, really felt a bit hungry and walked over. She picked up the steak Qiao Junlie had made for her, not even using a knife or fork, but grabbed it with her hand and directly stuffed it in her mouth.

Seeing this, Qiao Junlie’s handsome brows furrowed.

"Hey, miss, could you be a bit more ladylike?" Qiao Junlie said with a laugh, then handed her a knife and fork.

Zi Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, took the items from his hand, and swallowed a big piece of beef.

"What, don’t like it? If not, you don’t have to watch, my esteemed Young Master! It’s you who invited me to dinner; is it your first time knowing my eating manners are bad? Ugh!" Zi Ruoxi said with a bit of indignation. Though she grew up alongside him, she never adhered to any college dormitory’s silly rules; those high-society etiquettes, where men should be gentlemanly and women should be graceful, to her, are nonsense and completely unreliable. Perhaps because she was adopted since childhood and felt like a guest relying on others, her innate rebelliousness made her resist and despise the dogmatic rules of high society and any deliberate ostentation.

However, ever since she entered the fashion circle, she learned many things and became more in favor of a free lifestyle; only independence and confidence can exude true beauty, which is also the true aspect of Zi Ruoxi’s inner self.

After hearing this, Qiao Junlie’s eyes sank thoughtfully but kept a delightful smile on his face.

"I like it; I like you no matter how you are. Even if..." Qiao Junlie said craftily, suddenly pausing, narrowing his blue eyes voluptuously and staring at her face, deliberately swallowing his saliva.

"Disgusting, you’re really repulsive this way, such a wicked creature!" Zi Ruoxi retorted unceremoniously, then pointed the knife and fork in her hand towards Qiao Junlie, threatening, "You better stop looking at me. Eat, did you hear me?"

Qiao Junlie watched her face turn shy and angry and suddenly found it funny and joyous. He had never seen her like this; she’s so coquettish and adorably fierce in front of him! He liked it; this must be her true self!

"What if I don’t..." Qiao Junlie suddenly provoked, still acting like an arrogant young master, mischievously squinting his eyes, ambiguously saying, "Looking at you makes me feel full..." Just as the word "full" was finished, "splash!" his handsome face was drenched in the liquid thrown from across the table.

Qiao Junlie hadn’t even gotten angry yet when the "Fox Immortal" opposite burst into laughter, unable to stop.

"Dear Young Master, this is my toast to you, haha! Your head’s too hot, let me cool it down a bit." Zi Ruoxi gleefully said with malice. Her beautiful face was full of smugness.

Looking at her like this, Qiao Junlie couldn’t even muster anger; instead, he felt stuffily amused. Who would have thought anyone would dare to splash his face like this growing up?! It seems I’ve spoiled you too much, not tightening the screws, you’ve really turned rebellious!

And this outfit is ruined again; just after he had taken a shower...

He instinctively wiped his face with his sleeve, the lashes on his eyes still adorned with a few sparkling "pearls." Now, paired with the face washed by red wine, deliberately tinted with a thin layer of intoxicating rosy flush, it had a kind of indescribable allure.

Zi Ruoxi was dumbfounded, no way, it’s too alluring. Instinctively, she turned her face and prepared to continue eating the steak.

Qiao Junlie licked around his lip corners with his tongue, his face showing a mischievous smile, evil thoughts of pranks resonating in his head.

"Thanks for the wine, it was really sweet." Qiao Junlie pursed his lips with a welcoming smile, then slowly poured himself a glass of wine. He picked up the glass, drank a large sip himself, then stood up, holding the wine bottle and glass slowly walking to her side.

Zi Ruoxi thought he might be angry, but seeing his expression, he seemed fine, so she carried on eating, unaware of when Qiao Junlie had quietly gotten beside her.

"What are you doing?" Zi Ruoxi looked up, gazing at Qiao Junlie half-squatting before her, her voice filled with confusion. A hint of caution rose in her heart. Her body slightly leaned back; no, instinctively she prepared to stand up and escape his reach.

However, Qiao Junlie pressed her arm down, holding her in the chair.

"This wine is really delicious; how about you try it? I’m toasting you." Qiao Junlie said, smiling delicately, suddenly downing a large sip but not swallowing it, holding it in his mouth.

Zi Ruoxi saw it.

Just started saying a word, mouth, gurgle... the subsequent was filled with a burst of intense alcohol filling her mouth.

Zi Ruoxi’s eyes widened, looking at his approaching face in disbelief. She couldn’t help but swallow all the wine down into her stomach...

Zi Ruoxi almost fainted from choking, and only then did Qiao Junlie release her, his handsome face full of devious intent. Zi Ruoxi immediately began to cough intensely, as Qiao Junlie pretended to pat her back untimely. Until she felt better.

"Very tasty, right? Come, it’s rude not to return courtesy, I’ll toast you again." Qiao Junlie snarled, throwing the cup away, directly picking up the bottle, tilted it towards his own mouth, and took a mouthful again, his eyes all smiles.

Before Zi Ruoxi could escape, he seized her, one hand holding her head steady, and another gulp down.

Gurgle...

Zi Ruoxi was once again forcibly made to swallow all the wine from his mouth.

From the throat to the heart and then to the brain, was made uncomfortable by the alcohol. Zi Ruoxi’s eyes hazily squinted.
