When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Xi Siyan heated breakfast and returned to see this scene.

Weiwei frowned slightly, "What happened?"

Zhou Chengchen was covering her foot while looking up at Xi Siyan, speaking pitifully, "My foot is cold."

Zhou Chengchen hadn’t intended for Xi Siyan to know she’d been waiting at his door for over an hour. Although Xi Siyan was indifferent, Zhou Chengchen knew he cared about her. Anyway, she’d waited without wanting him to feel guilty.

But now that he had noticed, she didn’t hold back, acting as pitiful as she could.

Her bright eyes were now unbelievably endearing.

Xi Siyan sighed, stepped forward, and held Zhou Chengchen’s foot.

Maybe due to heating breakfast earlier, Xi Siyan’s hands were very warm, so when he held Zhou Chengchen’s foot, it even felt a bit hot.

However, what was even hotter was her face; for a moment, Zhou Chengchen wasn’t even concerned about whether her foot was cold or not.

She couldn’t say whether Xi Siyan’s gesture was ambiguous, but it was certainly about to set her heart afire.

Zhou Chengchen’s cheeks were burning, yet her gaze still locked on Xi Siyan. She pressed her lips together, watching her foot in Xi Siyan’s palm. Her foot was very small, smaller than most girls’, and now in Xi Siyan’s palm, it seemed even tinier.

At this moment, Zhou Chengchen’s mind was somewhat muddled, but she blurted out, "Xi, do you know that in ancient times, touching my foot means you have to marry me?"

As soon as those words left her mouth, everything seemed to freeze.

Even Zhou Chengchen herself was stunned. She... what was she saying?

Xi Siyan also looked up at her, and Zhou Chengchen was extremely embarrassed despite her thicker skin.

She wasn’t trying to tease him, she really wasn’t. She just... well, she didn’t even know what she was doing anymore.

Just chalk it up to a lapse in judgment.

Averting her gaze, avoiding looking at Xi Siyan, Zhou Chengchen’s blush hadn’t faded.

Her mind was already blank, ears buzzing, so she didn’t even hear Xi Siyan lightly reply, "Hmm."

"Let’s eat before it gets cold again."

"Oh, oh."

Xi Siyan washed his hands and returned to find Zhou Chengchen’s face almost buried in her bowl, unable to help but laugh.

Wasn’t she the one flirting with him?

He wasn’t even embarrassed, but her hiding-in-shame look was puzzling.

Xi Siyan sat across from her, peeled a marinated egg, and placed it in Zhou Chengchen’s bowl, casually asking, "Do you have any plans today?"

"Hmm?"

"Going with An Rui to buy a gift for An Ge later, want to join?"

Zhou Chengchen felt very sympathetic towards An Ge, and hearing this, she set aside her shyness, looking up, "Is Xiao Ge’s birthday coming up?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow."

"Sure, sure, I’ll go."

Picking a gift for the once-traumatized girl, Zhou Chengchen was more than willing, especially since it meant spending more time with Xi Siyan—a fool would pass up such a chance.

After eating, they left for their meeting place, having been delayed by traffic and arriving past noon.

From afar, they saw An Rui standing there in a bright red short down jacket, noticeably eye-catching.

A guy wearing red seemed odd, but An Rui exuded vibrant energy, reminiscent of young boys. Zhou Chengchen looked at him, then at the person beside her.

Instantly, she felt like Xi Siyan didn’t belong to the same age group as them.
