Chapter 193 The Passion on the Stove
Jiang Xun helped Xie Zhiyun cook in the kitchen, and at the same time chatted with her about academic matters and some of her experiences in Beijing.

His exceptional communication skills, coupled with occasional wit and humor, kept the bureau chief smiling non-stop, and his gaze towards him grew increasingly satisfied.

Although Yang Kaiyi was playing on her phone in the living room, she kept her little ears perked up, listening to Jiang Xun and his mother talking in the kitchen. She was also very interested in her mother's attitude towards Jiang Xun.

Seeing that Jiang Xun and her mother were having a pleasant conversation, and that her mother was particularly satisfied with Jiang Xun, she was also very happy, with the corners of her mouth constantly turned up.

Soon, with Jiang Xun's help, Xie Zhiyun prepared a large table of home-style dishes, and the three of them sat around the table, eating and chatting.

During the meal, Jiang Xun was chatting and laughing with Xie Zhiyun, and had just mentioned that he had attended an academic seminar with his professor during his university years.

"Professor Yan is quite considerate of you. She became a professor at such a young age, she probably doesn't even have time to date, right?" Xie Zhiyun asked casually, pretending to be unintentional. She glanced at Jiang Xun with a smile, then almost imperceptibly glanced at Yang Kaiyi next to her.

Jiang Xun's heart skipped a beat. As expected, Director Xie was the most perceptive. She had noticed some clues simply by stating some facts.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. A young and beautiful university professor like Yan Jin taking such good care of a tall and handsome student like him would make most people think twice.

Jiang Xun also subconsciously looked at Yang Kaiyi. Although they were 'good friends' on the surface, in terms of intimacy, they were not necessarily much closer than Jiang Xun and Professor Yan.

However, Yang Kaiyi's mind was not on their conversation at all; she was only focused on eating the sweet and sour pork ribs in her bowl.

Jiang Xun smiled to himself and continued chatting with Xie Zhiyun.

Not long after, he suddenly felt a smooth little foot touch his calf, and even through his pants, he could still feel the smoothness of the stockings.

Jiang Xun wondered for a moment whether Aunt Xie was wearing stockings, then quickly dismissed the strange thought. Putting aside the fact that Xie Zhiyun was wearing casual clothes, even if she were wearing stockings, she wouldn't do something so frightening.

Sure enough, when Jiang Xun looked at Yang Kaiyi, he noticed that the girl's cheeks were slightly flushed. This was definitely not out of shyness, but rather out of excitement.

Jiang Xun had known for a long time that this girl liked this kind of exciting feeling.

The more well-behaved and sensible a girl appears, the greater the contrast between her outward appearance and her inner self.

He dared not make any movement, after all, his legs were too long, and what if he bumped into Xie Zhiyun next to him if he moved even slightly?

However, Yang Kaiyi went even further, actually using her little feet to climb up his calf, relying on her ballet training to improve her flexibility, and stretched her little feet all the way up to Jiang Xun's thigh.

If Director Xie hadn't been right there, Jiang Xun would have really wanted to reach down and grab the girl's little feet and play with them for a bit.

The meal lasted from 6:30 pm until almost 8 pm. Xie Zhiyun enjoyed listening to Jiang Xun talk about his experiences outside. She admired Jiang Xun very much, so she felt proud to hear about his outstanding performance.

After dinner, Yang Kaiyi took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Jiang Xun naturally went to the kitchen to help her. Xie Zhiyun's smile widened when she saw this, and she simply went back to the study to handle some work matters, leaving the two little ones alone.

Yang Kaiyi was washing the dishes diligently when she heard her mother return to the study and close the door. Her eyes became slightly watery, and she began to tease Jiang Xun intentionally or unintentionally. Jiang Xun was a seasoned player in love, and he could easily see through the girl's thoughts. He smiled slightly, turned around and closed the kitchen door, and then, amidst Yang Kaiyi's soft gasps, he picked her up and placed her on the dry stove next to him.

"Which foot touched me just now?" Jiang Xun reached out and grasped the girl's round, silky thighs, whispering in her ear.

"It wasn't me~" Yang Kaiyi blushed and said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"If it's not you, then is it your mother?" Jiang Xun rolled her eyes at her speechlessly, and began to move her hands upwards, carefully feeling the smooth texture of the stockings.

"Mmm~" Yang Kaiyi felt Jiang Xun's warm, large hands sliding on her stockings, moving higher and higher. Her cheeks flushed red, and her eyes became even more watery, as if they were about to overflow.

She glanced instinctively toward the kitchen door, afraid her mother might suddenly push it open and come in. Then, she made a bold move, hooking her arms around Jiang Xun's neck and biting his lips.

Jiang Xun, of course, accepted all offers without hesitation. Although this was Yang Kaiyi's home, and her mother was in the study just a wall away, how could he refuse the rare initiative of the beautiful class monitor?

The two kissed passionately, and Yang Kaiyi quickly lost himself in Jiang Xun's masterful kissing skills, to the point that he lost control both above and below his body.

Jiang Xun's palms were warm and her fingers were nimble. Even though she was wearing stockings, Yang Kaiyi quickly and completely succumbed to her charms.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Xun's neck, pressed her whole body against him, and unconsciously kissed him with her small mouth, making sweet, whimpering sounds.

Jiang Xun knew that Xie Zhiyun outside could probably hear her voice, but he had no intention of stopping. At that moment, he was also very excited. It wasn't just Yang Kaiyi who liked this kind of excitement; he liked it too.

When Jiang Xun began to measure Yang Kaiyi's recent development, Yang Kaiyi finally came to her senses; it was her most sensitive spot.

Jiang Xun's hands were held down by Yang Kaiyi, and he obediently stopped moving, letting Yang Kaiyi rest his head on his shoulder and breathe lightly and rapidly.

Several minutes later, Yang Kaiyi, her face flushed, gently pushed Jiang Xun away, grabbed Jiang Xun's arm, and bit it, though not hard.

"You bad guy!" Yang Kaiyi blushed and glared at Jiang Xun. After giving a coquettish scolding, she got off the stove and awkwardly opened the kitchen door, running towards the bathroom.

Jiang Xun smiled slightly and continued washing the dishes. He was unaware that the door to Xie Zhiyun's study had quietly closed a crack.

After washing the dishes, Jiang Xun and Yang Kaiyi chatted in the living room for a while. Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Jiang Xun got up and knocked on Xie Zhiyun's study door to say goodbye.

Xie Zhiyun showed no outward signs of distress, smiling as she saw Jiang Xun out of the room, and even had Yang Kaiyi escort Jiang Xun downstairs.

After Yang Kaiyi and Jiang Xun came downstairs, they shared another passionate kiss. The girl seemed to be enjoying it. At first, she was a little reluctant, but now she was taking the initiative.

"Don't overthink it, we're just good friends." Before parting, Yang Kaiyi said to Jiang Xun with a blush on her face, and then ran back to the elevator as if she were escaping.
