Stay with me, I rely on the childbearing system to get pregnant and dote on me alone

Listen to Yuxuan.

Cha Jiu was leaning on the beauty's couch secretly reading a storybook when the system suddenly made a sound.

"Ning Changting's favorability towards you has increased and is now 30.00%."

This was expected by Cha Jiu: "It seems that he quite likes the bottle of five auspicious flowers."

At this time, the personal maid Xiaomei knocked on the door: "Miss, the prince is here."

Cha Jiu was surprised.

No, is it possible that Ning Changting still wants to come to thank you?

Or did he discover the mystery in the sachet?

Chajiu stood up, straightened her clothes, looked in the mirror and regained her gentle and graceful appearance, and then went out.

"Brother Changting, good afternoon."

As soon as Chajiu saw Ning Changting, his bright peach blossom eyes opened with a smile.

Ning Changting pursed his lips.

Either good morning or good afternoon.

Apart from these two sentences, did she have nothing else to say to him?

That's it.

Ning Changting handed over the food box in his hand and said casually, "This is for you."

Chajiu took it and saw the plum blossom lacquer seal on the food box, and recognized it as something from Zhenwei Pavilion.

Her eyes were full of surprise, and she looked at Ning Changting and said, "This is the pastry from Zhenwei Pavilion. Theirs is the best in Shengjing. Is this specially bought by Brother Changting?"

Ning Changting said stiffly: "No, we just met."

Yong'an's face looked even weirder.

It was obviously a detour, so why was it just right?

Chajiu opened the food box and couldn't help but marvel.

There are exquisite flower-shaped pastries inside, and each one is different.

Yongan was also surprised.

No wonder the prince refused to let his servants carry this food box. The pastry powdered sugar inside was of different colors and shapes. I am afraid that the prince was worried that the servants would not be careful when carrying it and the colors would be mixed up, making it look ugly.

Is it true that the Crown Prince is so interested in Miss Yan Shu?

Chajiu held it up with a handkerchief and carefully picked up a piece of peach-shaped pastry and took a small bite.

The peach-pink sprinkles are stained on the plump and beautiful lips, and tremble slightly with the chewing movements of the small mouth, just like a kitten eating, which makes people feel affectionate.

Before Ning Changting could react, his hand had already reached Chajiu's lips and touched it gently.

Cha Jiu stopped and looked at him blankly.

That pure look in his eyes made Ning Changting come back to his senses on the spot.

Boiling blood rushed to his head, but Ning Changting still pretended to be calm and continued to rub the sugar crumbs from the corners of Chajiu's lips.

"You ate it all over your face." He coughed lightly, pretending to be casual.

It seemed like it was the most natural thing to do to wipe the corners of my adopted sister's mouth.

Yet the tips of his ears were hot and red.

Chajiu was a little embarrassed by what he said, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it.

"Brother Changting, do you still like the five auspicious flowers you sent?" Chajiu asked knowingly.

Ning Changting did not answer. Instead, he asked about something else: "The five auspicious flowers drive away evil spirits and avoid poisons, which have a very good meaning during the Dragon Boat Festival. Did you also give them to your grandmother and mother?"

Chajiu shook his head: "I just learned flower arrangement today, and the first vase I made is for you."

Ning Changting got a satisfactory answer, and the coldness and indifference between his eyebrows also faded a little.

It turned out that he got the first one.

Still the only one.

Good.

"What about this pastry?" Cha Jiu asked, "Grandma, mother, and sister Chisu should all have it, right?"

Ning Changting's expression froze.

Yong'an spoke quickly: "The prince bought one each according to everyone's preference. The old lady's is jade bean cake, and the madam's is Longjing rice cake..."

Ning Changting glanced at him coldly.

Yongan was so frightened that he quickly fell silent.

Chajiu lowered his eyes: "Oh, it turns out everyone has it."

Ning Changting was a little annoyed.

Originally, I went to buy pastries from Zhenwei Pavilion today to thank Chajiu for mending his clothes yesterday.

But he thought that buying it for her alone might cause criticism, so he bought more according to the taste of his grandmother and mother.

As for the portion given to Shen Chisu, he let the store pick it at will.

Unexpectedly, this person's share would make Chajiu unhappy.

This is how to do?

Ning Changting had never been close to any girl, and he was indifferent and distant even to the concubines of his second wife.

Now he was in trouble, he didn't know how to coax Cha Jiu.

Seeing his helpless expression, Chajiu couldn't bear to tease him anymore: "The sun is getting hotter and fiercer these days. Brother Changting, please go back to Qingfeng Garden to rest early."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Ning Changting finally couldn't help but ask.

Chajiu knew he was talking about the little note.

But she pretended not to know, tilted her head, and said with clear eyes, "What are you talking about?"

Ning Changting's heart seemed to be immersed in cold water.

"It's nothing."

There was a bit of anger in his indifference, and he turned around and left.

Back at Qingfeng Garden, Ning Changting was alone in front of Wu Ruihua.

He raised the hand that wiped Chajiu's lips. There were still sugar crumbs on the fingertips, as well as the soft and delicate touch.

The tip of my heart feels a little numb.

He slowly brought the finger to his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then gave it a tentative lick.

So sweet.

I can't tell if it's the sweetness of the pastries or...something else.

"It's crazy."

After realizing what stupid thing he had done, Ning Changting laughed at himself.

……

The system reminded Chajiu: "Ning Changting's favorability has increased by 5.00%. How did you do that?"

Ning Changting was still depressed when he finally left, so why did his favorability increase?

Cha Jiu was eating cakes in his mouth and said vaguely: "Do you know what is the most heart-wrenching thing?"

Of course the system doesn't know.

"You know it's yours, but you haven't gotten it yet."

The system suddenly realized: "So you deliberately let Ning Changting hear your feelings for him in the ancestral hall, but you refused to say it openly and kept hanging on him, right?"

"Watch your words. How can something like feelings be called hanging? It's called pulling."

System: "Okay, but the most important issue now is that Mrs. Ninghou chose Shen Chisu? No matter how much you try to pull Ning Changting's feelings, you can't become a young lady or have children."

Chajiu shook his head: "Ning Changting is not a person who lets his parents dictate his marriage. On the contrary, he has his own opinions."

If Ning Changting is not willing, even if he is tied into the bridal chamber, he will not take any action.

As for Mrs. Ninghou, there is no need to worry at all.

According to Shen Chisu's character, she would seek death herself and push Mrs. Ninghou's heart further and further away.

really.

It was not until dinner that day that Shen Chisu sneaked back to the Hou Mansion.

She thought her clothes were perfect, but who knew that when she climbed in from the dog hole in the backyard, she was caught by Aunt Wen next to Mrs. Ninghou.

Shen Chisu smiled guiltily.

Aunt Wen's face was expressionless: "Today is a fasting day. The old lady, madam, and all the young masters and ladies are already having dinner in the main hall, so I leave you."

Shen Chisu slapped his head, feeling bad.

The Hou Mansion attaches great importance to these rules about what day it is.

On weekdays, everyone eats in their own courtyard, but on these special days, the old lady requires everyone to go to the main hall to eat together.

Shen Chisu has never been one to remember rules, so he naturally forgot about this matter.

She had no choice but to shrink like a quail and follow Aunt Wen to the main hall.

There is a long table in the main hall, and the dishes and dishes on it are arranged neatly according to certain rules.

The Marquis was not here, so the old lady sat on the main seat. Mrs. Ning Hou, Ning Changting and others took their seats one after another.

Not only the eldest room, but also the second room also sat in a proper manner, with their hands hanging on their knees, making no unnecessary movements or noises.

Seeing Shen Chisu come in, the old lady said calmly: "Since everyone is here, let's have a meal."

As soon as she spoke, the maids behind the masters dared to step forward to serve the dishes.

Perhaps because he was thinking about sneaking out and being discovered, Shen Chisu ate the meal without thinking.

Accidentally, my sleeve swept the white porcelain bowl to the ground, with a crisp and sudden crashing sound.

Everyone's eyes turned to her side.
