After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 143 This is the first time in my life, isn’t it under your eyes?
Seeing the man seriously closing his eyes and looking like he was about to sleep, Qiao Jingjing wondered, was he really going to sleep here with her?
Thinking about it, she asked, "Do you really want to sleep?"

Hearing this, the man opened his eyes and looked at her quietly, "What else can I do?"

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She coughed lightly to interrupt some inappropriate thoughts in her mind.

"Then go to sleep."

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi responded in a low voice.

Qiao Jingjing pulled the quilt over him, then got out of bed, "By the way, do you want to go out at night?"

"how?"

"I want to cook in person tonight. If you don't go out, we can eat together." Qiao Jingjing turned around and said.

Lu Xingzhi thought for a while and said warmly, "I can go out later."

"Okay, the food is ready, I'll call you." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Ah."

……

When it got dark, Qiao Jingjing prepared the dishes.

What she made today was tomato fish fillet, which looked very appetizing.

She couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and pick up a piece of fish fillet to taste.

At this moment, a man's deep magnetic voice came from behind, "What are you eating, madam?"

Qiao Jingjing froze for a moment, then reacted and quickly turned around to look.

Unexpectedly, he saw Lu Xingzhi standing behind him.

She was extremely surprised, "You, are you awake?" She still had fish fillets in her mouth, and her speech was a little slurred.

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi responded. His eyes fell on the dishes on the stove and he said uncertainly, "Is this fish cooked? Why is it red?"

Qiao Jingjing nodded quickly, "Yes, but I added tomatoes to cook it together, so it looks bright red."

"Fish cooked with tomatoes?" Lu Xingzhi was very surprised, "Can you still eat it like this?"

"Of course you can, and it tastes delicious. If you don't believe me, try it." After Qiao Jingjing said that, she took a piece of fish fillet and put it to his lips.

Lu Xingzhi paused, opened his mouth and ate.

"Isn't it delicious?" Qiao Jingjing looked at him expectantly.

Lu Xingzhi nodded, "Yeah, it's delicious."

"Then let's go back to the house to eat." Qiao Jingjing said, going to serve the food, but was stopped by Lu Xingzhi, "I'll do it."

"Ah? Okay." Qiao Jingjing retracted her hand.

Back in the house, Qingyuan and Mallow had already laid out the dishes.

The couple sat opposite each other.

Lu Xingzhi was never a talkative person, especially at the dinner table, but Qiao Jingjing was completely focused on eating fish at this time, and she was even more silent.

So the dinner table seemed very quiet.

It wasn't until Qiao Jingjing was full and stopped using her chopsticks that she had time to look at the man opposite.

Seeing the man eating his meal gracefully, she put her chin in her hands and asked, "By the way, are you used to eating this kind of fish?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

"That's good." Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, because he only cooked this tomato fish fillet tonight and no other dishes. If he couldn't get used to it, there was nothing he could do.

Not long after, Lu Xingzhi also put down his chopsticks, "I'm going out in a while, so you should rest early."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but ask: "It's so late, where are you going?"

Meeting her worried eyes, Lu Xingzhi paused, then suddenly held her hand on the table and explained, "It's business."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and looked at the hand being held, with a hint of sweetness in her heart. Looking at the man's handsome face, she couldn't help but joked: "Is this really business? Instead of drinking flower wine?"

"Of course not." Lu Xingzhi looked helpless, "Isn't it the first time in my life that I drank flower wine under your nose?"

Qiao Jingjing was surprised, "Last night was your first time going to a brothel?" "Yes." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Qiao Jingjing expressed doubt, "But why don't I look like it?"

"How come it doesn't look like it?" Lu Xingzhi was puzzled.

Qiao Jingjing coughed slightly and retracted her hand, "You look like...an old prostitute."

"Old prostitute?" Lu Xingzhijun's face darkened.

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing nodded firmly, "It's very similar."

Lu Xingzhi laughed angrily, "I look like an old prostitute, and the lady's behavior doesn't look like it's her first time visiting a brothel."

Qiao Jingjing frowned, "It's really my first time to go."

"Really? But I think Madam is very familiar with it. Even the madam was fooled around by you. She looks very experienced." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.

Qiao Jingjing choked, "What? I went to a brothel not because I was worried about you, but you said that to me. Is it difficult to praise me for being smart?"

Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up, "Madam is indeed very smart."

Qiao Jingjing finally felt at ease, "That's pretty much it."

"Okay, you stay alone, I'm going out." Lu Xingzhi stood up and said.

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing also stood up and sent him outside the door.

After Lu Xingzhi left, she felt a little tired, so she walked around in the garden.

Halfway through her stroll, a cat suddenly jumped down from the wall, startling her.

"Meow~"

"Where did the wild cat come from?" Mallow asked angrily.

The patrolling guard immediately stepped forward and said: "The wild cat disturbed the lady. This is my subordinate's dereliction of duty. I will take the wild cat away and deal with it soon."

After saying that, the guards immediately went to catch the wild cat.

However, the wild cat is very agile and dexterous, jumping up and down, and tormenting the guards quite hard.

It was so easy to catch, the guards were exhausted.

When Qiao Jingjing saw the white cat in the guard's hand, she was suddenly attracted. She stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the cat. Maybe it's a cat from a nearby house. Maybe I'll find it tomorrow."

"But this cat is quite wild, and I'm afraid it will hurt my wife." The guard said hesitantly.

"It's okay, I'll pay attention." Qiao Jingjing said.

Seeing her insistence, the guard had no choice but to give the cat to her.

The white cat, perhaps tired from the quarrel just now, was being held in Qiao Jingjing's arms, looking very tame and well-behaved.

Qiao Jingjing touched its fur, and it immediately meowed, as if in response.

"Yeah, it's quite spiritual." Qingyuan said happily.

"Looking at it, it's quite clean. It's probably not a stray cat." Mallow said.

"Well, maybe he got lost from someone nearby." Qiao Jingjing said.

As she expected, someone came to her door the next morning.

Even though Qiao Jingjing was a little reluctant to let go, she still let the maid hold the cat and send it out the door.

After a while, Qingyuan came back, "Madam, the owner of that cat said he wanted to thank Madam in person."

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "No need, it's just a little effort, you can just say no for me."

Qingyuan hesitated, "Madam, it's Mr. Shen. He said he wanted to thank Madam in person and refused to leave..."

"Master Shen?" Qiao Jingjing frowned, "Shen Tingzhi?"

Qingyuan nodded quickly, "It's Mr. Shen who came to visit you yesterday."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she suddenly understood.

The white cat ran into the Lotus Garden last night. It seemed that it was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by Shen Tingzhi.

But what did he do when he saw her?
"Is the Lord back?" After thinking about it, she asked instead.
