Jingxia Rose

Chapter 93: A Legitimate Entry
While Ji Xuan was still in a daze, the needles had already been inserted without him realizing it.

I didn't feel any pain at all.

She didn't even hear the doctor's instructions to come back for another injection in three days.

Wen Qi, however, agreed on her behalf.

His expression turned serious and stern as he looked at the princess who had scratched Ji Xian. Although he didn't say anything harsh, his demeanor was truly chilling.

The princess, already feeling a bit aggrieved after her vaccination, was trying to be affectionate, rolling over in her cat carrier, wanting to be petted and cuddled.

Wen Qi remained unmoved.

Ji Xuan had originally wanted to ask him how he could help pay the bill, but when she saw the two of them staring at each other through the cat carrier, she couldn't help but find it funny.

She walked over and gently nudged his arm. "What are you doing? It's just a cat, don't scare it."

When Wen Qi turned around, her eyes seemed to be filled with tiny, sparkling lights, dazzlingly bright.

The tense expression on his face shattered instantly.

The sharp edges of the outline softened.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

If she has children in the future, she will definitely be a loving mother.

Coincidentally, Ji Xian also thought of this, and she felt that Wen Qi must be a strict father.

The way Wen Jingyan educated him perfectly illustrates this.

She couldn't help but frown. To be honest, Wen Qi's personality had its advantages and disadvantages.

No one is perfect.

His dedication, deep affection, uprightness, humility, and politeness are truly rare qualities in Beijing's social circles.

But it just lacks that touch of everyday life.

To put it bluntly, it's out of touch with reality.

Like that Buddha statue that hangs in the temple year after year, it only understands the law, not emotions.

Thinking of this, Ji Xian felt baffled. Getting married and having children was a completely different matter.

Why think so much?

Seeing that Wen Qi was carrying the cat carrier, she didn't force him to take it back. On the way back, they passed a pet store, where Ji Xuan got out of the car and picked out a new water bowl and a cat bed for the princess, as well as three packs of cat treats and a pack of freeze-dried food.

Seeing that Qi was about to pay the bill again, Ji Xuan quickly stopped him, saying, "I'll pay myself."

As he spoke, he scanned the QR code and transferred the money.

Wen Qi had no choice but to put away his phone and carry the things outside.

As soon as he got in the car, Wen Qi heard a notification sound on his phone. He clicked on it and saw a transfer record from Ji Xuan.

He frowned slightly, then heard Ji Xian say, "I've transferred the princess's medical examination fee and vaccine money, including mine, to you. Please remember to accept it."

Wen Qi put his phone aside, didn't take the money or say anything, fastened his seatbelt, and started the car.

Ji Xian couldn't help but glance at him.

Seeing his lips pressed into a straight line, and no other emotional changes could be discerned.

It was already past eleven o'clock, and by the time she got back to her place it would be almost midnight.

I need to think about what to eat for lunch.

I've been back for two or three days now. I should really go to the supermarket. The groceries I ordered from the food delivery app last time were only enough for one meal. I cooked them last night and they were all gone.

There were shrimp and crabs that Wen Qi had sent yesterday in the refrigerator.

What should we have for lunch?

Wen Qi suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts that were drifting towards outer space.

Ji Xian turned to look at him and casually said, "It's better to eat the shrimp and crabs fresh from yesterday. If they're left in the refrigerator for too long, the meat will become tough."

But we didn't have any pepper or other seasonings at home.

There is a large supermarket across from the community, but since the cat bought a lot of things, it's definitely not a good idea to bring it up.

"What are you going to do?"

“Steaming it and making a dipping sauce is the simplest way,” Wen Qi nodded.

Ji Xuan looked at him suspiciously. Was this guy trying to freeload lunch?

Soon, the car arrived outside her residential compound. Wen Qi took Mao's hand and asked her to carry the bags of cat treats to her upstairs.

Then they showed no sign of leaving.

To rightfully enter the inner sanctum.

Ji Xian stared at him for a long time before Wen Qi finally withdrew his hand from feeding the cat freeze-dried food, looked up and met her gaze, "What's wrong?"

"I don't have any seasonings at home, nor do I have any brushes for washing shrimp and crabs."

Wen Qi stood up. "Then send me a list, and I'll go buy them..." As he spoke, he glanced at the bouquet of white roses that still sat alone on the dining table. "Do you have a vase at home?"

Ji Xian followed his gaze to the bouquet of flowers.

What? Are you feeling sorry for your bouquet of flowers?
Looking for a home for them?

There are definitely vases; there are quite a few green plants on the living room balcony.

When she was decorating, she was afraid that the house would look too cold and lifeless, just like Canglan Residence, which she didn't like. So she added a lot of brightly colored furniture and decorations, as well as green plants to the house.

In the end, Ji Xuan also went out with him.

Besides buying seasonings, she also needs to buy some side dishes and vegetables for dinner.

The main concern is that he might pay the bill for me but then refuse to accept the money.

That payment hasn't been collected yet.

Actually, this was the first time the two of them had ever gone to a supermarket, and the first time they had ever done something so... down-to-earth.

When I lived in Canglan Residence, we had servants who did the shopping. We didn't need to buy anything ourselves. If we wanted something to eat or something else, we could just give them a command, and the food would be in front of us within half an hour, or the next day.

Their relationship was ordinary yet extraordinary.

Ji Xuan glanced at the man helping push the shopping cart and raised an eyebrow.

It’s also rare.

If I were to take a picture and send it to Ye Xueyan and the others, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

The former workaholic boss is now willing to put down his work and stroll through the supermarket with her in order to pursue her.

The two went to the condiment section first, where Ji Xian picked out five or six bottles and jars, and also bought a jar of white sugar. Finally, they went to the fresh food section and bought a piece of pork tenderloin, pork belly, and beef.

Then I bought a bunch of asparagus, Shanghai bok choy, and some green onions, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings.

She wasn't one to procrastinate, and even though it was already 12:30, Ji Xuan quickly finished selecting everything.

But half of the shopping cart was already piled up.

There was quite a lot of stuff.

Ji Xian paid the bill himself, while Wen Qi carried the heavier bag across the street, and the two walked home side by side.

The task of cleaning the crabs was naturally left to Wen Qi.

Afraid of getting his clothes dirty, she rummaged through the closet and pulled out a pinkish-gray apron, handing it to him.

Wen Qi was wearing leather gloves, holding a crab in one hand and a brush in the other.

Yes, this is more down-to-earth and more human.

Ji Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Lower your head."

Wen Qi obediently lowered his head.

Ji Xian put the rope over his head, grabbed the rope on both sides, and wrapped it around his lean waist.

But it looks more like she's wrapping her arms around his waist.

With a glance up, my forehead could lightly touch his chin, or even his thin lips.

Wen Qi lowered his head, his eyes slightly darkening, and he had an urge to throw away the brush and the crab and pull her into his arms.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but before he could utter a sound, Ji Xian had already walked behind him, tied his apron in a knot, and said calmly, "Call me when you're done washing."

After saying that, she left the kitchen, washed two vases, untied the bunch of roses, and put them in the vases, placing one on the coffee table and one on the dining table.
