Delicate rose petals gently descended onto the foie gras caviar, infusing it with an ethereal quality, akin to gazing at flowers through mist. Shrimp balls, resembling lychees, hung like fruit-laden branches. Cucumbers had been meticulously carved to resemble green bamboo, while broccoli took on the form of a Christmas tree. Each dish exuded an exquisite sense of beauty.
Ji Bai was well aware that his master was bringing a significant guest home for dinner that evening, so he was meticulous in his preparations. However, when he saw his master carrying the young lady inside, he was equally astonished as Yue Qiu.
Yue Qiu introduced, “This is Madam.”
“Hello, Madam, hello, Sir!” Ji Bai swiftly greeted, bowing, and then discreetly attended to the final dish before departing.
Only the two of them remained at the dining table. It was an exceptional and romantic dinner, devoid of contrived ambiance, violins, or piano music. Instead, it bore a sense of ceremony and significance.
“From now on, we’ll have dinner at home,” Bo Yi stated, placing the young lady down but not permitting her to sit at the table on her own. Instead, he positioned her on his lap, one arm around her while using chopsticks to feed her.
“Boyi, I can manage on my own…” Fang Yuan was seated on his lap, feeling unexplainably flushed. She wasn’t a three-year-old child who required feeding!
“Do you not want me to hold you or feed you? Are you unwilling to accept me as your fiance, or am 1 an undesirable fiance?” Bo Yi confidently asserted.
Fang Yuan felt a bit exasperated. “Does this really matter to you?”
“Of course,” Bo Yi responded assertively, “You’ve been avoiding physical contact and maintaining a distance from me. Is it because 1 haven’t done enough or haven’t been good enough to touch your heart? In that case, I’ll make more effort in the future.”
Fang Yuan was at a loss for words. ‘It’s really not necessary…’
“If you don’t want me to feed you, then you can feed me,” he suggested, a hint of a smile on his lips.
Fang Yuan retorted, “In your dreams!”
Bo Yi countered, “Choose one of the two.”
Fang Yuan inquired, “Why would 1 need to make such a choice?”
Bo Yi’s smile deepened. “Then be a good girl and let me feed you.”
In response to his request, Fang Yuan stuffed a morsel into her mouth somewhat irritably. The scene was undeniably endearing. It was simply adorable!
“Try this,” Bo Yi offered, picking up a shrimp ball. “It’s delicious.”
While Fang Yuan indulged in the food, she suddenly felt a gentle hand rubbing her back. “Can you eat properly?”
Bo Yi retorted, “With such beauty in my arms, I find myself utterly bewildered.”
Fang Yuan grumbled,”…”
Bo Yi continued, “Who told you to be so stunning?”
Fang Yuan sighed,”…”
After they had finished their meal, Bo Yi carried her to the sofa, maintaining their intimate position. “I’ll take you upstairs to have a look later.”
Fang Yuan insisted, “I’m going home.”
Bo Yi countered, “It’s a rare occasion for you to be here. You should familiarize yourself with the place, shouldn’t you? Let’s check out our rooms…”
Fang Yuan responded firmly, “That’s enough!”
Noticing her slight embarrassment, Bo Yi’s smile took on a more mischievous quality.
Yue Qiu served them each a cup of flower tea to savor.
Fang Yuan exclaimed, “Please put me down!” Her throat was parched from their conversation.
Bo Yi brought the tea to her lips. “How does it taste?” She appeared lovely as she drank. Her luminous eyes were downcast, and her eyelashes resembled two small feather fans.
“It’s fine,” Fang Yuan said after taking a couple of sips. There was a hint of tea on her lips, and the flower tea was exceptionally aromatic. It was undeniably a fine tea.
Unexpectedly, he cupped her face and kissed her lips.
Fang Yuan was left speechless.
The taste of tea still lingered on her lips, and after Bo Yi tasted it, he couldn’t help but deepen the kiss.
This was the first time Yue Qiu had witnessed his master in such a manner. In the past, his master had been reserved and aloof, always maintaining a stern and silent demeanor. Today was the first time he had kissed a girl with such fervor!
After a while, Bo Yi released her. “It truly tastes delicious.”
“…” Fang Yuan was somewhat frustrated. She had wanted to savor the flavor of the floral tea. Why did he have to kiss her? She hoped he hadn’t lured her to his house for the sake of easier… mischief.
“If you don’t want me to touch you, I won’t next time,” Fang Yuan cautioned.
Bo Yi inquired, “Is that so?”
“In the future, I won’t dine with you anymore,” Fang Yuan decided. She knew that it would likely take a while for him to curb his penchant for physical affection. To address the issue at its source, she had to limit their interactions and strive to avoid being alone with him.
Upon hearing this, Bo Yi peered into her eyes. “Are you upset?”
Observing Fang Yuan’s silence, Bo Yi inquired softly, “Are you displeased because you didn’t find the previous kiss satisfactory?”
Fang Yuan responded, “You!”
He pressed his lips to hers once more, savoring her flavor.
Yue Qiu, who was in their proximity, was truly broadening his horizons today. It was abundantly clear that his master held deep affection for this girl. Such affectionate expressions of love flowed naturally, devoid of any awkwardness!
When Bo Yi kissed her more forcefully again, Fang Yuan felt increasingly embarrassed. “Bo Yi!” The butler was right there, and their current position was far too suggestive.
“Didn’t you find the previous kiss enjoyable? Hm?” Bo Yi playfully rubbed his nose against hers, his eyes veiled with desire..
