My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 526 - 0315 Falling in Love Is a Very Simple Thing (Two-in-One)

Chess Pavilion.

Xu Chang’an quietly leaned against the edge of the small pavilion, listening to the sound of rain outside.

In front of him, Zhu Pingniang had placed the sweet bag he had just taken out beside her hand, and was bent over, seriously playing chess with herself.

It was unclear why.

After he took the sweets out, Zhu Pingniang took them and didn’t speak to him.

Wasn’t she just saying she was hungry?

He had sweets prepared for Miss Yun on him, why was she still not satisfied.

Was the food not tasty?

Xu Chang’an looked over and saw Zhu Pingniang holding a chess piece in her right hand, tossing it onto the board; with her left hand, she picked up a sweet and threw it into her mouth, crunching it twice before swallowing.

Her eating manner was far from Yun Qian’s elegance.

But it didn’t seem like the sweets were not tasty.

Xu Chang’an looked at the cloud-shaped sweets in the bag, coated with a fine layer of sugar frosting, thinking of how his culinary skills were honed by Yun Qian’s increasingly picky tastes over the years; naturally, what he made couldn’t taste bad.

So the question arose...

What was this Senior suddenly angry about?

As Xu Chang’an was a man whose thoughts were all on Yun Qian, he naturally didn’t know why Zhu Pingniang would throw a little tantrum.

However, his confusion was quickly dispelled with the unfolding of the chess game.

Zhu Pingniang, who was tall, wearing a dark eight-immortal patterned skirt, sitting in the pavilion was quite a good picture, any man would probably be moved upon seeing her.

Xu Chang’an thought so too.

So beautiful...

Chess pointing.

He only found Senior’s game to be intriguing, itching to sit down and play a round with her... but knowing he was entirely not worthy to play a game with Senior, Xu Chang’an looked on thoughtfully, observing the game.

——

Why Zhu Pingniang was annoyed, she couldn’t quite figure it out herself.

Probably just a long-time single older woman, facing a younger one she liked and trusted, sometimes would act like a little girl, it was nothing to be surprised at.

Gu Qiancheng had eaten the soup dumplings Xu Chang’an made for Yun Qian and went back to tell Zhu Pingniang.

Since then, Zhu Pingniang had wondered how the cooking done by Xu Chang’an, who Gu Qiancheng said had culinary skills better than her sister’s, would taste.

And today was a good opportunity.

Outside, Lu’Er should have all the ingredients ready, just waiting for Xu Chang’an to dive into the kitchen and busy himself, and then she would wait outside with her feet up for food.

And the result, she just mentioned she was hungry, trying to start a conversation...

Xu Chang’an just took out a bag of sweets and stuffed them into her mouth?

What kind of problem is this.

Zhu Pingniang looked up and glanced at Xu Chang’an.

Only to see that when she was not speaking, Xu Chang’an showed no signs of anxiety, just quietly sat there, his gaze falling on the game of chess she was playing with herself.

That "tranquil," "focused," even "elegant" demeanor made Zhu Pingniang’s eyes twitch involuntarily.

Where did this young lady of noble birth come from?

Why does he look so attractive when not speaking?

In Zhu Pingniang’s years of experience, combined with her experiences as "Zhu Tongjun" the Fairy, the number of excellent people around her was countless, yet no gentleman from her memories could compare to this earnest young man watching the chess game beside her.

Clearly the etiquette Xu Chang’an prepared was full of flaws in her eyes.

He seemed to not understand the sophisticated language arts of Beisang City’s young lords and ladies when meeting, appearing to soak in Muyu Peak talking with ladies all day, but from both his thinking and actions emitted a certain rawness.

But just looking at him was pleasing.

Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but press the sugar frost on her fingers, feeling the sweetness she liked warming from her tongue to her heart, closing her eyes.

Indeed...

It was with the added goodwill from the sweets, that she was so satisfied with him.

He really is a woman after all!

Upon reevaluation, not only a noble young lady, possibly a literary girl from a scholarly family, or even the Commandery Princess of Qingzhou County?

This skill, how could it come from a man’s hand?

As for why it had to be a woman...

In this world, what man’s culinary skills could be so good.

Which man would carry such a big bag of sweets around?

The key is... they’re also delicious.

Just annoying.

Zhu Pingniang felt that her dignity as a woman was like a roasted yam, peeled and then dropped with a bang onto charcoal ashes, and then stepped on by the passing Xu Chang’an.

The key was she wasn’t even angry, because Xu Chang’an was good-looking.

She had asked a moment ago, knowing these sweets were personally made by Xu Chang’an, the flavor was indeed incredibly good, just like him being exactly to her taste.

But her desire to taste his culinary skills was not just one small bag of sweets.

The ingredients outside were all prepared.

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

Disordered.

Even Zhu Pingniang herself hadn’t thought a single bag of sweets would upset her so.

And as Xu Chang’an had been seriously watching the chessboard from the beginning, upon noticing Zhu Pingniang’s few erratic moves due to heart disturbance, he frowned involuntarily.

This scene fell into Zhu Pingniang’s eyes, tugging at her heart.

"..."

Bit her lip and Zhu Pingniang gave a gentle sigh.

Zhu Tongjun, oh Zhu Tongjun.

Sure enough, it was because knowing feelings weren’t lost upon entering the Immortal Realm, became overly relaxed, wasn’t it?

However, he truly likes chess.

Then let it be his reward.

Zhu Pingniang gathered away all distracting thoughts, prepared to sincerely play a game with herself, satisfying Xu Chang’an’s love for chess.
