Harem Ascendant: Power & Beauty

Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Eyes in the Shadows

Under the desk, Liang Jiajia was kneeling and holding the Iron Pestle, savoring it with relish.

Sitting in the chair, Lin Fan was signing simportant directives for this period. Before long, the office door was

pushed open, and Zhao Qianyue walked in with a smile, holding a lunch box which she placed on the desk.

"Did you make this yourself?"

Looking at Zhao Qianyue who was sitting opposite, Lin Fan curiously opened the lunch box. Inside was steaming

chicken soup, exquisite and appealing.

"What do you think?"

Zhao Qianyue hugged her shoulders, leaning against the chair back: "You must have done good deeds in your

past life to taste something made by me. But don’t get big-headed; this chicken soup is just practice for me.

Can't finish it, it's wasteful to feed it to the dogs, so | brought it for you instead."

"That's good then. | thought you were dissatisfied with my recent performance in bed."

Lin Fan took a sip of the soup, a strong herbal taste made him unable to resist complaining.

"You're really something, always letting your thoughts run wild. It's my grandmother who insisted | learn soup

making and askedto bring a message to you; cto visit her at my place when you're free."

Zhao Qianyue, with her pouty lips, didn’t fear anything in this life except her grandmother. In her elder’s eyes,

Lin Fan was the absolute choice for grandson-in-law.

"My grandma is something else, with all those uncles and grandpas taking such good care of her over the years,

she’s eaten and seen everything whether flying in the sky or swimming in the water. But lately she’s clinging to

those thousand-layer shoes, reluctant to wear them, just holding them in her hands, talking about that longevity

noodle during meals, saying this birthday noodle suited her taste the most."

"As long as she likes it, that’s good. | already asked my parents to prepare smore powdered elm bark

cornmeal. They'll send it up tomorrow, you can make it for grandma when you have time."

Lin Fan’s words made Zhao Qianyue’s eyes widen: "You had it prepared, why didn’t you give it earlier? My uncles

and grandpas have been talking about it these days. When you bring it over, I'll make a bowl for each of them,

let them enjoy it."

"When there's too much, it becomes cheap."

Lin Fan put the finished soup on the table, smilingly looking at Zhao Qianyue: "They want to eat it just for the

memories. If they had to eat such bad food every day, the memories wouldn't be as sweet. After getting used to

sweet honey water, having something spicy occasionally wakes them, but if they ate it every meal, it wouldn't

be bearable."

"How are you so smart to even think of this? | even had people go to the mountain to strip the elm bark for

grinding, but they all said it needs to be air-dried for fifteen days, I'm quite anxious."

Zhao Qianyue said, lying down on the desk, pulling Lin Fan's head for a fierce kiss. Only then did she notice Liang

Jiajia still under Lin Fan, licking passionately.

"How can you be so bold, sneaking in to steal during broad daylight? Don’t you have a husband?"

Zhao Qianyue pouted, a trace of displeasure crossing her face.

"My husband... isn’t as good as County Magistrate Lin!"

Liang Jiajia greedily held the Iron Pestle, smiling at Zhao Qianyue.

"You slut!"

This remark left Zhao Qianyue speechless, only giving her a sidelong look before picking up the lunch box to

leave.

"Won't you stay and play a bit?"

Lin Fan curiously looked at Liang Jiajia, who turned back and flipped him the finger: "I'm feeling unwell. You go

ahead and play with that bitch."

As the office door was shut, Zhao Qianyue strutted away. Only then did Liang Jiajia speak: "County Magistrate

Lin, it seems Zhao Qianyue has real feelings for you."

"Where did you see that?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes; indeed Zhao Qianyue was acting strange today.

"Because she’s jealous now."

Liang Jiajia, playing with the Iron

Pestle with her fingers, crawled out

"The scenery here is indeed nice!"

When Lin Fan parked the car halfway up the mountain, overlooking half of Red Flag County, though daylight was

bright, it was sparsely populated, perfect for a field rendezvous.
