Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Jerk, You Just Know How to Bully Me_1

“`

Watching Xu Fan with a smug smirk on his lips as if he already held the winning ticket, Xu Yixue felt a flare of anger inside.

Hmph, I refuse to believe I can’t find a flaw. When the time comes, I’ll thoroughly drive you away. Tongtong will be all mine, and I won’t even let you visit Tongtong, which will infuriate you!

As for the possibility of losing? Although unlikely, Xu Yixue wasn’t afraid. What’s the big deal about massaging someone’s foot?

“It’s a bet, then. Who’s afraid?” Xu Yixue snorted gracefully.

The four of them sat down at the dining table.

The table was set with six dishes. Aside from the presentation that seemed not too elaborate, each dish looked extremely appetizing, giving the illusion that they were naturally picture-perfect.

Of course, Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, being ordinary folks, couldn’t see the subtleties but only felt that the dishes were very artistic, with colors matched to perfection.

The braised pork had a lustrous, plump look, like a delicate sugar cube, full of a bouncy texture that made you salivate at first glance.

The sliced white chicken was arranged casually, yet it had a sense of elegance akin to a dish served at a state banquet.

Xu Yixue couldn’t help but take a few more glances, feeling slightly dazzled by the spread. She thought that if she ate it, she would feel guilty, as though she were ruining an exquisite work of art.

Xu Fan was also satisfied with the appearance and presentation of the dishes.

He always learned quickly, and after all, he was an Alchemist from The Immortal Realm with incomparable skills. Cooking, for him, was a piece of cake. If the last time he cooked was about getting the hang of things, this time he had started exploring presentation.

However, no matter how appealing the dishes looked, they were still food. After a moment of hesitation, Xu Yixue picked up her chopsticks and aimed at the steaming slices of boiled fish.

These were supposed to be sliced boiled fish, yet there were no visible bones, let alone any spines to be seen.

As a fish slice touched her tongue, Xu Yixue’s pretty face changed, and her bright eyes almost bulged. It was truly delicious.

The slices of fish, uniform in thickness, released an enticing fragrance as soon as they hit the air, melted in the mouth like a fuse igniting an explosion of taste, filling the mouth with flavors of fresh, fragrant, smooth, tender, sticky, spicy, and moist. Each flavor hit a perfect threshold, any more or any less would have been a deviation too far that could’ve disrupted the balance.

What’s more, these flavors didn’t simply present themselves all at once, but rather in distinct layers, each leading into the next, provoking an involuntary sense of delight as if witnessing the blossoming of lotuses at each step—Step by Step a Lotus Blooms.

“Delicious, so delicious,” muttered Ye Xiaoning next to her, unable to stop praising as she took a piece of braised pork.

Being a remarkably capable and beautiful bodyguard, Ye Xiaoning paid attention to maintaining her figure, but was resolute in her intake of high-energy foods, which is why she didn’t shy away from calorie-dense foods like braised pork.

Xu Fan glanced at the micro-expressions of the two beautiful women and felt reassured, smugness rising within him. They say to capture the heart of your beloved, you must first capture their stomach. With his exquisite culinary skills, he doubted any woman could resist the tempting delicacies made by his hands.

“Daddy, I want more, more,” Tongtong said in her babyish voice, swallowing saliva.

“Okay, daddy will get you more meat,” Xu Fan said jovially, clamping a piece of the braised pork for Tongtong without worrying about her teeth since the meat was so tender it required no chewing, soft and deliciously sweet.

In the time that followed, Xu Yixue focused solely on the boiled fish slices, visibly enjoying herself, and even stealing glances at Xu Fan. When he looked back at her, she quickly averted her gaze.

“Ah, I can’t, I’m getting full,” Ye Xiaoning complained, touching her slightly bloated stomach, regretfully putting down her bowl.

“I’ll do the dishes.” She volunteered for the cleanup.

Tongtong and Xu Yixue also had a great time eating, and after finishing, they moved to the living room.

“`

“Daddy, Tongtong’s tummy is bloated, could you rub it for me?” Tongtong put on a pitifully cute expression.

“My little treasure.” Xu Fan chuckled as he rubbed Tongtong’s little belly, while also channeling a strand of Spiritual Energy into it.

Not only did this strand of Spiritual Energy help Tongtong digest all the food in her stomach, but it also cleaned out the remnants in her esophagus and intestines. Before long, Tongtong was clamoring to go to the bathroom.

After using the restroom, Tongtong felt much more comfortable, and soon, with a sweet smile on her face, she drifted off to sleep.

“Let me give you a rub.” Xu Fan moved closer, his shining eyes tenderly gazing at Xu Yixue.

Xu Yixue’s cheeks turned faintly red, and she couldn’t help wanting to move away, but she held back: “Okay, fine.”

This wasn’t the first time, and after the first time it quickly became familiar; she even found it rather agreeable—not because she wanted Xu Fan to touch her, but because she didn’t want to feel bloated and uncomfortable.

Xu Fan, smelling that faint fragrance, felt his heart stir but kept a composed face as he gently rubbed Xu Yixue.

“All done, you should go to the restroom too,” Xu Fan said naturally. “I’ve cleared out the junk in your stomach.”

Xu Yixue’s face flashed a quick shade of red, her eyes carrying a hint of coquettish annoyance, “Who asked you to do that?”

No wonder she had such a reaction; a goddess of unparalleled beauty should be as pure as a white lotus flower. Yet here she was, prompted by Xu Fan’s intervention, needing to use the toilet.

“What’s the matter, I’ve seen your body before, and we have a lot more days ahead of us,” Xu Fan said matter-of-factly.

“Hmph, you scoundrel, always bullying me.” Xu Yixue fled with her face flushed with shame. When she reappeared, she felt incredibly light, unburdened, and the sensation was simply wonderful.

But the thought that Xu Fan was behind it made her feel both shy and angry; it was as if, to him, she was transparent, whether she was dressed or not, giving her a sense of being seen through.

“How does it feel, much better now?” Xu Fan’s lips curled up with a teasing tone.

“What’s it to you?” Xu Yixue’s mood had been quite good when she got home, but facing Xu Fan, all sorts of emotions bubbled up. It could be so annoying dealing with him. What to do? She disliked him, yet found him unbearably annoying but also strangely endearing.

“Hehe, I’m Tongtong’s dad and you’re Tongtong’s mom. It’s only right for a dad to take care of mom. Why doesn’t it work with you?” Xu Fan’s eyes brimmed with mirth.

“Bah! I have nothing to do with you, so stop wishing for it.” Xu Yixue retorted sharply.

“Now that’s something I don’t like to hear,” Xu Fan sighed, “Since you think we’re strangers, let’s fulfill the bet then.”

“What bet?” Xu Yixue was taken aback.

“What’s with your memory? Have you forgotten the bet we just made?” Xu Fan reminded her.

“Oh… I’m sleepy, let’s talk about this tomorrow.”

Feigning weariness, Xu Yixue stretched, revealing her perfect figure and slender waist, then without looking back, she entered her room.

Facing Xu Yixue’s evasion, Xu Fan suddenly found her quite interesting. With a quick move, he appeared in front of her, and, amidst her startled gaze, he gently kissed her smooth, jade-like forehead.

“With your memory, I fear you’ll remember nothing by tomorrow. I might as well take back what’s mine now.” After saying that, Xu Fan turned and left as if nothing had happened.
