Gu Yue Na was unwilling to accept that her carefully crafted dishes were bad, so she often experimented on her own, resulting in the waste of ingredients at home, including the ripe vegetables in the garden.
Therefore, she had to take Zhu Zhu Qing to the market to buy more.
Dan Heng enjoyed a rare moment of alone time.
His teaching of Zhu Zhu Qing was quite effective, and she had already leveled up.
Now, all he had to do was train her step by step.
He smoothly returned to his previous peaceful life, going to the library on time.
Everything seemed to have returned to its former course…
"Shh…shh…shh…"
A series of footsteps sounded.
Dan Heng sat up from his recliner. The footsteps and the aura were not Gu Yue Na or Zhu Zhu Qing, but a strange woman.
At the courtyard gate, a bewitching woman with incredibly long legs, a voluptuous figure, and cascading black hair looked at him with disdain.
Yes, disdain.
Dan Heng clearly sensed the woman's disgust towards him.
Even though the two should have never met before.
"You are…?" Dan Heng asked.
Zi Ji raised her snow-white neck, her face filled with cold arrogance. "I am your wife's...distant cousin!"
"Hmm?" Dan Heng was slightly surprised. Gu Yuena was naturally stunningly beautiful, so it was understandable that she had such a beautiful cousin.
But judging from their appearances, this cousin was clearly older...
"Please come in."
Dan Heng didn't understand, but he still politely said it.
Although she was his cheap wife, a fake couple, he couldn't just ignore her relative.
Zi Ji hummed in agreement and followed Dan Heng inside. Looking at Dan Heng's profile, she secretly sneered.
This lecherous man is really good at disguising himself!
He's clearly an old man of unknown age, yet he's transformed into a young man.
He's monopolized the master's beauty, yet he still plays the role of a married couple, playing these romantic games. He's obviously a repressed pervert!
Now that his alluring cousin has arrived, he's probably itching to get his hands on her, right?
Pretending not to care, is he trying to leave a good impression?
But you can't fool the clever Zi Ji!
Since you want to pretend, I'll play along. This is a perfect opportunity to vent my anger on my master!
Zi Ji sat in the living room, took the tea Dan Heng offered, and took a small sip.
Her brow furrowed immediately, and she said with displeasure, "This tea is too hot..."
Dan Heng sat in the chair beside her, continuing to read, and casually said, "I'll drink it when it cools down."
It wasn't that Dan Heng particularly enjoyed reading; it was just a habit he'd developed in the past. But compared to that, communicating with a "relative" who clearly harbored ill will towards him was far more tedious.
Zi Ji frowned, looking at Dan Heng with a puzzled expression. This beautiful woman said the water was hot; shouldn't she come over and blow on it for her?
Then she could casually splash the water on Dan Heng ,
put on an apologetic face, and say a sweet, coquettish "I'm sorry," making this old lecher chuckle, thinking he'd gotten a great deal. Why was he being so cold to her?
"Cough cough, this water is so hot, brother-in-law, aren't you going to blow on it for me?" Zi Ji reminded him, her brow furrowing slightly, revealing her displeasure.
"The water will cool down soon, wait a little longer."
Dan Heng glanced at her, somewhat doubting his distant cousin's intelligence.
Even if the water wasn't hot at all, couldn't she blow on it herself?
Why was she being asked to do it?
Or did she really have an intellectual problem?
Zi Ji gritted her teeth, feeling that Dan Heng's gaze was a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Seeing that Dan Heng really had no intention of cooling it down for her, she snorted softly.
"I heard my cousin found a good husband, but I didn't expect him to be so inconsiderate!"
Zi Ji complained softly, deliberately making sure Dan Heng could hear her.

Dan Heng ignored her.
After being chased by Ren countless times, he had a clear understanding of this kind of person: no matter what he said, the other party would maintain their original attitude.
They would do what they wanted to do, and he couldn't change anything.
Seeing that he wasn't taking the bait, Zi Ji came up with a new trick. Noticing a plate of chilled bayberries on the opposite table, she went over and picked it up, saying, "Since you have this to cool you down, why don't you offer it to us? Are you reluctant to part with it?"
Zi Ji rolled her eyes at Dan Heng.
Dan Heng glanced at the plate of chilled bayberries, his lips twitching slightly.
That was also Gu Yuena's handiwork. Normally, all you had to do was wash and chill them; bayberries are delicious on their own. But Gu Yuena insisted on adding her own whimsical ideas, and the result...
Zi Ji put a chilled bayberry in her mouth, then spat it out with a "pfft."
Looking at Dan Heng angrily, she said, "What is this? Chilled sheep droppings? How did you make something so disgusting? Why don't you throw it away?!"
Zi Ji swore she had never eaten such disgusting food!
Dan Heng said calmly, "That was made by Gu Yuena."
Zi Ji had just picked up the plate, intending to throw it on the ground in a fit of anger, but upon hearing this, she obediently put the plate down and said seriously, "Actually, it tastes quite good."
Dan Heng pointed to the iced bayberry rolling on the ground, which Zi Ji had just spat out.
"..." Zi Ji gritted her teeth. This guy was really annoying; did he only know how to expose her?
Since it was made by her master, Zi Ji had boundless tolerance for the iced bayberry. How could she spit it on the ground?
Zi Ji picked it up and threw it back into her mouth, without even swallowing.
Dragons weren't like humans; they couldn't eat things that fell on the ground, so she didn't care.
Even so, the taste of the specially made iced bayberry still gave her a strong tingling sensation.
Her alluring face scrunched up.
"..." Dan Heng looked at Zi Ji with slight astonishment.
This woman was rather unclean...
she even ate food that had fallen on the ground? Although the ground had been swept spotless. "
But what
's with that look?!" Zi Ji saw Dan Heng's gaze and immediately complained.
"This was carefully made by my sister, why is it just sitting there? It's clearly delicious, the best in the world, why are you complaining?"
Zi Ji pinched her waist hard, trying to stop the iced bayberries from churning in her stomach and preventing herself from vomiting.
"If you like it, you can eat it all." Dan Heng pointed to a plate of iced bayberries.
Perfect, since Zi Ji insisted she liked them, he was worried about wasting this relatively expensive fruit, so giving it all to Zi Ji, his "relative," wouldn't be a waste.
"..." Zi Ji looked at the iced bayberries as if they were a series of dark dishes emitting black smoke.
"No need to be polite."
Dan Heng nodded.
"..." Zi Ji fell silent, not expecting to be forced into this situation!
If she didn't eat, wouldn't that mean she thought her master's food was bad?
Wouldn't that make her master look down on by this old lecher?
"Eat! Fine! Eat!"
Zi Ji gritted her teeth, picked up the plate, and started pouring the food into her mouth.
It's unclear how much the throat had widened, but anyway, it all went in at once.
Dan Heng smiled slightly; this time, nothing was wasted.
