As soon as Sun Zhewen opened the door to his home, he was greeted by a rich aroma of food. The sounds of pots and pans clanging together came from the kitchen. He walked in to find Li Zhiyan and Chen Qingyan surprisingly busy in the kitchen. Each of them occupied a side, as if engaged in a silent culinary duel.
Li Zhiyan skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pan, glancing at Chen Qingyan from the corner of her eye. A hint of a smug smile played on her lips. Chen Qingyan, on the other hand, was intently focused on the soup in her pot, her brow furrowed, as if pondering how to win this "battle."
Sun Zhewen was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "What are you two doing together?"
Chen Qingyan snorted, her tone laced with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, it's all for you."
Li Zhiyan deliberately spoke in a coquettish tone, "Zhewen, I went to find Cousin today and ran around all day for your sake, I'm so tired." She emphasized the words "Cousin," as if reminding Chen Qingyan of their close relationship.
Chen Qingyan muttered inwardly, What a vixen. Zhewen won't get eaten by her, right? Thinking about this, she felt it was necessary to ask Sun Zhewen properly. Although Li Zhiyan was pregnant, weren't some men into that sort of thing? And her cousin was several years younger than her. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She slammed the spatula in her hand down, making a crisp sound, and walked out of the kitchen, saying to Sun Zhewen, "I'll go check out your room."
Sun Zhewen's expression changed. These past few days, he and Li Zhiyan had indeed been sleeping together. Though they hadn't done anything, if Qingyan found out, how could he explain it? He could only say to Chen Qingyan under her suspicious gaze, "I'll take you."
Li Zhiyan, like a cunning little fox, laughed behind them, humming, "Sourpuss, I'll make you mad."
Entering the room, Chen Qingyan carefully examined the bed, even lifting the covers for a thorough look. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of unease flickered in her eyes. She asked, "You really didn't sleep with her?"
Sun Zhewen shook his head like a rattle-drum, his voice firm and urgent: "No, no."
Chen Qingyan's gaze softened, her eyes slightly moist. She tightly embraced Sun Zhewen, her voice trembling slightly: "Zhewen, I'm really afraid you wouldn't be able to resist, that you'd be seduced by that Fairy."
Sun Zhewen gently patted her back, his tone gentle and resolute: "I won't, I won't. I only want you."
A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Qingyan's eyes. She raised her head and whispered, "Kiss me."
The two embraced deeply, kissing passionately. Downstairs, Li Zhiyan shouted loudly, "Hurry up, the food's ready. Come eat!"
Chen Qingyan, her face flushed, pushed Sun Zhewen away, chiding, "Let's go down. She just won't let us have any peace."
Sun Zhewen smiled helplessly and asked, "Why are you and your Cousin at each other's throats now?"
Chen Qingyan snorted, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. "Hmph, it's all you. That Fairy, the way she looks at you is not right."
Sun Zhewen shook his head helplessly, chuckling softly. "Alright, you're just jealous."
Chen Qingyan pouted, lightly punching him. "Ugh, I hate you. Did you change the lock on your room?"
Sun Zhewen nodded, replying, "Yes, I did. The password is..."
Downstairs, Li Zhiyan urged, "How long are you two going to be? Come down already, the food's getting cold."
Chen Qingyan gritted her teeth, stomping her foot. "Let's go down." She linked arms with Sun Zhewen and went downstairs.
Li Zhiyan's expression changed when she saw the two of them walking down arm in arm. She cursed inwardly, It's just dinner, what's with the public display of affection? Hmph, you lovebirds.
The atmosphere was delicate as the three sat at the table. Chen Qingyan deliberately chatted intimately with Sun Zhewen, serving him food at the same time, her face beaming as if the world only consisted of them. Her actions were exceptionally intimate, as if she were deliberately showing off.
"Zhewen, try this dish. I specifically picked it out for you." Chen Qingyan's voice was sickeningly sweet. Her chopsticks expertly picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Sun Zhewen's bowl.
Sun Zhewen looked at Chen Qingyan with a smile, accepted the food, and said softly, "Thank you, Qingyan, you're so thoughtful."
Li Zhiyan's expression grew increasingly ugly, her eyebrows furrowed, and anger burned within her. Finally, she couldn't hold back and said coldly, "Hey, hey, haven't you two done enough already? Do you want me to give you the table so you can have another round?"
Chen Qingyan, hearing this, a trace of smugness flashed in her eyes. She deliberately acted coquettish, "Husband, look, someone's getting impatient." Her voice was soft and delicate, like a kitten's.
Sun Zhewen was a bit embarrassed by the sudden turn of events, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "Zhiyan, don't be angry, we were just joking."
Li Zhiyan snorted coldly, her eyes flashing with a cold light. "A pair of dogs and bitches, I'm not eating. You two eat." With that, she angrily put down her chopsticks and went upstairs. Returning to her room, she was filled with contradictions and remorse. Why was she so impulsive just now? Why did she fall for Chen Qingyan's provocation? She touched her stomach; it was still hungry.
Sun Zhewen looked at Li Zhiyan's back, feeling uneasy. He pinched Chen Qingyan's nose and said softly, "Why did you provoke her? She didn't even finish her meal and went upstairs."
Chen Qingyan pouted, dissatisfied. "Do you care about her?"
Sun Zhewen explained with a touch of helplessness, "Isn't this only natural? We live together every day, of course we should care for each other."
Chen Qingyan snorted, a displeased expression on her face. "Hmph, I'm not happy." She deliberately put on an expression that said, come and coax me, but seeing that Sun Zhewen didn't react, she said emphatically, "I said, I'm not happy."
At this moment, Li Zhiyan came down again. She stood at the top of the stairs and said coldly, "Zhewen, your wife wants you to coax her."
Sun Zhewen's head suddenly felt like it was about to explode, and he secretly groaned in his heart. He hurriedly said to Chen Qingyan, "Be good, eat your meal properly. I'll take you back later."
Chen Qingyan smiled triumphantly, and deliberately said, "Okay, feed me." She was determined to make Li Zhiyan eat her fill of dog food today.
Li Zhiyan stomped her foot in anger, turned around, and went back to her bedroom, cursing silently in her heart, "These lovebirds, they're really infuriating!"
Seeing this, Chen Qingyan put away her triumphant smile and said to Sun Zhewen, "Alright, I'm not playing anymore. Let's eat quickly."
Sun Zhewen sighed, secretly muttering in his heart, "These days are getting harder and harder." He shook his head and got up, saying to Chen Qingyan, "I'll go get Zhiyan to come down for dinner."
