Ji Zhao shyly turned her little face away. The corners of her lips curled into a faint smile as she muttered softly, “How can you be sure that we will definitely have a daughter?”

“I can’t be sure now.” Shen Yao suddenly smiled. His eyes were extremely bright as he looked at her. “But we can work harder.”

“All?” Ji Zhao exclaimed, only to realize that she had fallen into Shen Yao’s arms.

“Zhaozhao.” Shen Yao lowered his head and kissed her forehead. His deep eyes were filled with affection. “Shall we settle down early?”

“Okay…” Ji Zhao bit her lip nervously and nodded shyly.

After a round of action, the person in his arms had already fallen asleep.

Shen Yao raised his hand and rubbed her cheek, a satisfied smile on his lips.

“No more…”

Ji Zhao, who was extremely sleepy, muttered softly. In the end, she turned over and fell into a deep dream.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Ji Zhao, who smelled a sweet fragrance, slowly opened her eyes. “Why does it smell so good?”

“I bought a serving of sweet tofu pudding.” Shen Yao walked to her side and kissed her cheek affectionately. He asked gently, “Did you sleep well last night?”

“Pretty well…” Ji Zhao nodded gently and lowered her eyes to hide the shyness in them. “Ahem… 1’11 go wash up first. Shall we have breakfast together later?”

“Okay.”

A moment later, Ji Zhao tasted the tofu pudding that emitted an alluring fragrance, and her taste buds were greatly satisfied.

“It’s so delicious.” After a while, Ji Zhao finished the sweet tofu pudding. She licked her lips in satisfaction, but she did not notice that the man sitting beside her had a glint in his eyes.

“Zhaozhao,” Shen Yao suddenly looked up and called out.

“Huh?” Ji Zhao subconsciously looked up, his gaze blank and confused.

“I prided myself on being an elegant gentleman, but after marrying Zhaozhao, I actually became a person with heavy desires…” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and laughed helplessly at himself. “Zhaozhao, do you hate me?”

“You…” Ji Zhao wanted to say something, but her mind was blank.

Shen Yao leaned close to her ear and said, “If 1 didn’t have an appointment with Brother Qin today, I really want to stay at home with Zhaozhao for a day.”

“Shen Yao!” Ji Zhao punched his chest angrily. Her delicate face was like a rose that had weathered the storm, delicate and charming.

“If you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll ignore you!”

“Alright, let’s not disturb my Zhaozhao anymore.” Shen Yao could not help but rub her cheek. “You don’t have to wait for me to come back for dinner today. I might be back very late.”

“Okay.”

Ji Zhao answered obediently.

Ever since Shen Yao became the Jieyuan in the provincial imperial examination, he needed to socialize more.

However, Ji Zhao didn’t care much. After all, she had her own business to attend to!

At the end of the night, Ji Zhao was about to enter the Spring Breeze Pavilion when someone blocked his path.

“Young Master, how may I help you?”

The person blocking Ji Zhao’s path was a young master dressed in sapphire blue embroidered with silver auspicious clouds. This person had a round face and thin lips. His slightly upturned fox eyes looked a little indecent.

Especially since this person had a red mole under his left eye. It looked a little enchanting.

“May I ask if you are the owner of this Spring Breeze Pavilion?” The playboy suddenly waved the folding fan in his hand and asked with raised eyebrows.

“Yes.” Ji Zhao admitted openly. Based on the principle that anyone who arrives is a guest, she asked softly, “Young Master, do you want to reserve a banquet?”

“No.” The enchanting young master shook his head. “I want to ask the boss to help me make a dish.”

“What dish?”

“I wonder if you can make some mutton dumplings?”

Ji Zhao shook her head. “Young Master, I’m really sorry. This restuarant doesn’t make these snacks. We only accept banquets for more than two people.”

“Do you not know how to make it or are you unwilling to make it?” Zheng Li frowned unhappily, his eyes dark.

“Since Young Master isn’t here to book a banquet, please be off.” Ji Zhao straightened her back and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

The eyes of this enchanting young master in front of her were not right. He did not look like a good person.

Ji Zhao was also unwilling to do business with such a person.

“Do you know who 1 am?” Zheng Li narrowed his eyes and his tone suddenly turned cold.

“I don’t know.” Ji Zhao shook her head. “But I don’t want to know either.”

Zheng Li smiled. In the entire Yunchuan Prefecture, other than this woman in front of him, who would dare to step on his face like this?

He was the eldest son of Yunchuan’s governor!

“Interesting.” Zheng Li sneered. Before he left, he did not forget to look at Ji Zhao. “We’ll meet again.”

The warning and threat in his eyes were self-evident.

However, Ji Zhao did not care at all. After all, people with evil intentions would definitely have trouble in the future.

After a while, Innkeeper Qian of Yinchuan Inn rushed forward and asked anxiously, “Madam Shen, were you alright just now?”

“I’m fine.” Ji Zhao smiled and shook her head.

“Are you really fine?” Innkeeper Qian was still a little worried. “Madam Shen, did that young master make things difficult for you just now?”

“No.”

“That’s good, that’s good!” Innkeeper Qian was completely relieved. “Just now, I saw that Eldest Young Master Zheng’s expression was a little ugly. 1 thought he would make things difficult for you. Fortunately, he didn’t make things difficult for you.”

“Eldest Young Master Zheng?” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and guessed the identity of the person just now. “Could it be that the playboy just now is the son of Yunchuan’s Governor Zheng?”

“Yes.” Innkeeper Qian nodded and raised his hand to point at the street in the east. He said in a low voice, “That street is owned by the Zheng family, and Young Master Zheng has been helping to take care of it. Therefore, no one nearby dares to provoke Young Master Zheng.”

“It sounds like you’re very afraid of this Young Master Zheng?”

Ji Zhao could not help but raise her eyebrows, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Innkeeper Qian wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed helplessly. “Madam Shen, you’re a smart person. If you want Spring Breeze Pavilion to continue operating steadily, don’t provoke those people you shouldn’t. Otherwise, you’ll definitely cause trouble!”

“Thank you for your advice, Innkeeper Qian.” Ji Zhao smiled gratefully. “However, even though I won’t provoke those despicable people, I’m never afraid either.”

Hearing this, Innkeeper Qian looked at Ji Zhao with a complicated gaze.

Ji Zhao nodded slightly at him before turning around and walking into the Spring Breeze Pavilion.

Ever since the Spring Breeze Pavilion opened for business, it had only received two tables of customers. Business was still not improving. However, Ji Zhao knew in her heart that it was easier to open a shop than to maintain it, so she was not in a hurry.

Just as First Madam Qin had said, fragrant wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley.

Ji Zhao thought for a moment and turned to go to the kitchen. She prepared to make some pastries and send them to the Qin residence personally. After all, First Madam Qin had really helped a lot..
