134 It’s Up to You

Seeing her nod, Shen Yao was extremely excited!

It turned out that the scene earlier was not his imagination.

“Ah Tao, I…” Shen Yao grabbed her hand excitedly. Just as he was about to confess his feelings, there was another knock on the door.

“Dear guests, I’m here to deliver your lunch!” The waiter waiting outside the door shouted happily.

Shen Yao opened the door and took the mahogany tray with lunch on it from the waiter. He said with a tight face, “Thank you.”

However, the waiter felt a chill for no reason.

“No… You’re welcome. It’s what I should do…”

Ji Zhao couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this scene.

The lunch delivered by the restaurant was very exquisite. There was duck soup with yam, stir-fried crown daisy, and sweet and sour lotus root. It looked, smelled, and was delicious.

“Shen Yao, why don’t you have a bowl of soup first?” Ji Zhao stood up and wanted to pour a bowl of soup for him.

“I’ll do it myself.”

Shen Yao hurriedly stood up and their hands inadvertently touched.

The back of her hand was suddenly covered with a layer of warmth. Ji Zhao looked up in realization and was caught off guard, meeting those gentle eyes.

“Then… then serve it yourself.” Ji Zhao was a little nervous. She wanted to pull her hand away, but she realized that Shen Yao’s grip was a little strong.

She could not break free.

“Ah Tao, I wanted to say that I like you too,” Shen Yao held her hand and looked into her eyes as he said seriously.

“Mm.” Ji Zhao turned her face away shyly, but the curve of her lips was clearly raised.

After expressing their feelings to each other, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

There was no need to say anything.

“Let’s go look for Eldest Brother and EldestSister-in-law after lunch.” Ji Zhao put down her bowl and chopsticks and suggested with a smile, “I want to see Eldest Sister-in-law.”

“Okay,” Shen Yao agreed readily. “As you wish.”

Hearing this, Ji Zhao felt a sweetness in her heart.

The two of them happily finished their lunch and prepared to go to Shen Ji Pastry Shop.

After walking out of the inn, Shen Yao glanced sideways at Ji Zhao’s side profile. The wind blew her hair, making her exquisite side profile look even softer.

Ji Zhao was born beautiful. She had exquisite willowy eyebrows, a tall and perky nose, full cheeks, and pink and tender lips that made people want to kiss her…

“Shen Yao, why don’t we go to the cloth shop to take a look first?” Ji Zhao suddenly glanced sideways and met Shen Yao’s infatuated gaze. “You… Why are you looking at me like this?”

“Ah Tao, you’re really beautiful,” Shen Yao praised sincerely.

“Glib-tongued…” Ji Zhao looked away shyly and muttered softly.

“I’m not being glib-tongued. I meant every word I said just now,” Shen Yao looked at her and said seriously.

“Ahem,” Ji Zhao said softly, “Let’s go to the cloth shop. I want to buy two bolts of cloth for the child in Eldest Sister-in-law’s stomach.”

“Mm.”

Shen Yao nodded slightly. The hand hidden in his wide sleeve clenched nervously. In the end, he mustered his courage and accidentally touched the back of Ji Zhao’s hand.

Ji Zhao suppressed her laughter and smiled brightly at him.

Before Shen Yao could react, Ji Zhao had already grabbed his hand.

“Let’s go to the cloth shop!”

“…Oh, okay.” Shen Yao nodded in a daze. The smile in his eyes was self-evident.

The afternoon sun was bright and beautiful, and the breeze was gentle. The two people holding hands had smiles on their faces.
