Chapter 454: Chapter 454 - 448: She’s Getting More and More Delicate…

Jing Jihan is a living person, someone in front of her whose advantages, upbringing, and uniqueness are all subdued by his low-key and calm nature, things which are all innate.

They are things that cannot be concretized with words or language.

One could say that Jing Jihan is already perfect enough, yet when Shi Su sat down to eat, she was again captivated by this table full of dishes he prepared by hand.

"How can it taste so good?" Shi Su, a woman who considers herself to have seen it all in the entertainment industry for several years, almost couldn’t help but be moved to tears.

For example, this bowl of steamed pork ribs with rice powder!

For example, this plate of fish with spread-out fins!

For example, this plate of golden and silver tofu!

And this portion of crystal shrimp dumplings!

And the vegetable rolls that are perfect for cleansing the palate and stimulating the appetite...

Along with the ultimate fresh and delicious tomato soup!

Shi Su originally thought there was no way she could finish this table full of dishes, but paired with the red wine Jing Jihan poured for her and all the delicious food, she ended up eating until she was full and still couldn’t resist continuing.

This was probably the meal where Shi Su ate the most in her entire life.

Finally, feeling tipsy and full, she ran out to jog around Lake Heart Island. Although night had already fallen, the area around Li Lake Bay was brightly lit, especially with the exceptionally exquisite and beautiful lighting designs on several gatehouses and attractions outside the scenic area. Looking over from the island, it wasn’t glaring at all; rather, it was hazily beautiful, providing a rare and exceptionally stunning view.

Shi Su had never been busy all through her years for the sake of living, but she indeed had never taken a vacation to travel or leisurely admired any scenery anywhere.

At that moment, she initially only wanted to jog a few laps to aid digestion to avoid discomfort from indigestion during the night, but as she ran, she eventually sat down on a small stone platform in front of the villa, staring at the distant scenery lost in thought for a long time.

Inside the villa, the empty plates on the dining table had already been collected into the dishwasher.

Shi Su went out for a jog without taking her phone.

Jing Jihan picked up her phone, which she had left on the sofa, and was about to take it to her. On his way out, he accidentally touched the screen and saw two unread messages from Wei Sinan.

As a result, Jing Jihan naturally unlocked the phone out of curiosity and hadn’t even seen the messages when, at first glance, the screen showed the interface when Shi Su last changed a contact name, still open. The words "Royal Keeper" were right above his name.

The man raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, seeing that she had not yet saved it, so he simply exited the modify contact name interface.

He caught a glimpse of the original note name—Husband.

The night wind was a bit chilly; Shi Su only wore a jacket when she ran out, but with the beautiful views before her, she forgot about the cold and had been sitting there for quite some time without wanting to move.

Suddenly, a coat was draped over her shoulders, and her phone was handed over. Shi Su then raised her hand to touch her slightly chilled rosy nose, looking back at Jing Jihan, who had somehow found his way there.

"How did you know I was here?"

This Lake Heart Island is quite large; she had been running for a while to get here.

"You like places with light." Jing Jihan casually adjusted the coat he’d just draped over her back, making sure it was snug to prevent her from really getting cold.

Shi Su glanced around in other directions and then noticed that although there were lights all around the island, the spot she was sitting in was the brightest, with plenty of space around. No wonder her instincts made her settle here and not want to leave.

Jing Jihan knew her better than she knew herself.

"I was just thinking of taking a picture of the night scenery over there, but ended up not bringing my phone." Shi Su said as she lifted her phone to snap a few photos of the particularly beautiful sight over there and then noticed two unread messages in WeChat.

They were from Wei Sinan.

Wei Sinan: [xx/xx "Shadow Kill" crew path (updated)]

Wei Sinan: [I have a commercial event in Z City tomorrow afternoon. The scenes in the morning have been moved to later, so you don’t need to go so early. It’s all line-reading scenes. Wait until I get there to work on the script.]

Although it’s all work-related content, most likely, Jing Jihan had seen it was from Wei Sinan when he handed her the phone.

She couldn’t help but turn her head to say something, only to meet the man’s serene, gentle, and somewhat pensive eyes.

However, this pensiveness seemed to have nothing to do with the messages from Wei Sinan.

Shi Su’s eyelid twitched, and suddenly she thought of something, quickly glancing down at her phone.

Seeing the two words for Jing Jihan’s contact name, she quickly averted her gaze, continuing to look at the distant scenery, then pulling her collar together, suddenly swinging her feet, and then her expression shifted.

"...I think I sat for too long, my foot’s numb."

The night at Lake Heart Island, although the air is actually excellent, due to being surrounded by water, the temperature here is at least three or four degrees lower than outside the island.

Shi Su had been jogging laps in the clothes she came in. Even though she usually took care to keep warm and wasn’t dressed lightly, sitting here for a while not only made her feet numb but her legs also felt a bit stiff from the cold.

After nine at night, it started snowing on Lake Heart Island, with the sound of falling snow clearly audible.

Shi Su lay on Jing Jihan’s back, arms around his neck, face buried against his warm back, similar to a child who had played too much outside and was now being carried home by a parent out of exasperation, resting against him without moving about.

But this atmosphere.

If she didn’t say something or do something, it felt somewhat wasted.

Shi Su inched her head forward, leaning close to Jing Jihan’s ear, and asked, "Mr. Jing and Grandma Jing went to pick Mianmian up at the Jing Family again today. With all the feasting every day and Hui’s exceptional cooking skills, won’t the little girl gain weight?"

Jing Jihan: "Hui will pay attention to balanced nutrition."

Shi Su continued to lie on his back, chin resting on his shoulder, watching the man’s profile under the night lights, the perfect, strong lines of his neck, she couldn’t resist hugging his neck tightly, leaning in feverishly to whisper, "Husband, my legs aren’t numb anymore, I can walk on my own."

"Mmm." The man responded, naturally to an indisputable degree, but he didn’t put her down, obviously responding not to her saying she could walk by herself but to the two words before that.

Shi Su suddenly found it a bit amusing, giggling as she leaned in closer to his ear, softly and tenderly calling, "Husband~"

"Mmm."

"Husband~"

"Mmm."

The short response, because of her increasingly gentle voice, and her more frequent "husband," gradually became huskier.

"Husband, husband..."

Upon reaching the villa door, Shi Su, oblivious to the imminent danger, still hung by his ear calling, when suddenly the door opened, and the man quickly set her down on the exquisite low cabinet by the door, abruptly turned around to press her against the wall—
