Husband-stealing story

Chapter 74

It is said that the tea in this inn was transported from Hangzhou, but when he tasted it, he couldn't tell that it was very good.

Just because, just because, there were two people sitting in that most conspicuous spot, talking quietly and laughing loudly.

He saw Tianxiu whisper something in his ear, and Tang Shijiu laughed so hard he almost spat out his tea. He tightened his grip on the teacup, forcefully suppressing the urge to rush over and strangle Tianxiu.

Tianxiu narrowed her long, alluring eyes slightly, having already noticed that the lecherous old man in the corner was Shen Yuntan. However, she didn't expose him, instead deliberately making witty remarks that made Tang Shijiu laugh heartily.

Tang Shijiu had just taken a bite of the food Tianxiu had picked for her when it became so spicy that her face turned bright red. She stuck out her tongue and asked for water. To Shen Yuntan, the sight of her was both incredibly cute and incredibly irritating.

Tianxiu smiled brightly: "Sichuan cuisine is all about spiciness; it's not good if it's not spicy. It's not good if it's not sour either. Nineteen beauties, can you handle it?"

Tang Shijiu choked so badly that tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't speak, her tongue lolling out. Yet, she also felt that although the dish was pungent, it had a powerful aftertaste that was unforgettable. The fiery hot food entered her mouth, bringing tears to her eyes and making her sweat profusely, but she found it quite refreshing.

"Who says I can't handle it! I'd be fine with it being spicier!"

Tianxiu snapped his fingers: "Boss, bring another bowl of pickled fish."

That's not a fish at all...

The moment the dish was served, Tang Shijiu regretted it terribly; it was practically a bowl of fiery red chili soup!

Tianxiu's eyes lit up: "This is the most delicious famous dish!" With that, she rolled up her sleeves and scooped out a large bowl.

What is Tianxiu? In Tang Shijiu's eyes, Tianxiu is a heartless playboy and sissy with a bad habit of not paying back money!

How could he let such a person look down on him? So he gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and simply grabbed the basin and gulped it down.

She drank until her throat was on fire and her eyes were glazed over. It felt like a ball of fire was burning down her esophagus to her lower abdomen, making her internal organs feel displaced. Yet she was still very happy, covered in sweat, and felt extremely refreshed!

Tianxiu was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but clap his hands in approval.

The blush on her face, her bright eyes, and her embarrassed expression of drinking water because of the spiciness all lingered in his mind. Tianxiu poured some vinegar into Shijiu's bowl: "This will make it better."

Nineteen tried it and found that it was much better, but it also reduced the intense pleasure.

"Tianxiu, why are you so good to me?"

These days, Tianxiu has been incredibly kind to her, making sure she doesn't miss any of the delicious food and beautiful scenery along the way in Sichuan. Rare treasures are a given, though. However, Shijiu didn't really like the pearl jewelry, so she confiscated most of it, but Tianxiu didn't say anything, just laughed it off.

"Because you remind me of Tang Weiqi. When she was alive, I couldn't treat her to such a luxurious life, which I deeply regret." He said this with a charming smile, his tone light and cheerful, showing no trace of sadness. "Nineteen, you're not angry, are you?"

Tang Shijiu took a big gulp of tea and laughed, "What's there to be angry about? I'm glad you told me the truth. Since that's the case, I'll gladly accept your kindness. Hmm... is there anything good to eat nearby?"

Tianxiu gently wiped the soup from her lips and said with a smile, "You've eaten so much spicy food, aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach tonight? If you're not afraid of being full, I'll take you to eat soup dumplings and hot and sour noodles later."

Nineteen rested her chin on her hand, her lips already numb from the spiciness: "Tianxiu, why did Tang Weiqi fall for you but not that guy?"

"Why shouldn't you like me?" Tianxiu asked curiously. "I'm handsome, talented, and good at making girls happy. I'm a hundred times better than that bastard Shen Yuntan."

Nineteen looked noncommittal, but he affirmed the latter half of his statement: "Shen Yuntan is a bastard!"

Tianxiu glanced at the defeated-looking person not far away, then fearlessly put her arm around Shijiu's shoulder: "He's a bastard, I'm much better than him. You shouldn't like him anymore, come with me! Do you remember when I told you, follow me and you'll live the high life? I wasn't lying to you."

Tang Shijiu gently removed his Lu Shan claws: "That's true. But... this strength... uh..." She was never used to lying, and even though she hated Shen Yuntan so much that she gritted her teeth, she still refused to admit that Tianxiu was stronger than him.

Tian Shu was deeply hurt: "What do I lack compared to him?"

Tang Shijiu carefully considered her words: "Tianxiu, do you really want me to say it again? I don't like effeminate men."

"Boss, put the bill on your tab! Qianzi Pavilion!" Tianxiu waved his long sleeves, slammed his hand on the table, and pulled Tang Shijiu upstairs: "Come on, come on! If I don't let you witness my manly prowess, I'll be a...sissy!"

Tang Shijiu was caught off guard and almost fell off his chair when he was pulled: "Even if you call yourself Laozi, it's useless... Besides, you forgot one thing."

"Um?"

“We stayed in the Kunjia and Tunchou rooms… the Qianzi room was next door.”

"Hmm..." Tianxiu smiled noncommittally, glanced at Shen Yuntan, and closed the door.

The person staying at Qianzi Pavilion, fearing exposure of his whereabouts, could not express any opinion, so he could only rush to the next guest room to eavesdrop on whether he was doing anything shameless.

"I'm going to prove to you right now whether I'm a man or not!" Tianxiu's voice came from next door. In her seductive manner, Shen Yuntan's hands were covered in cold sweat.

"Tianxiu, even if you strip naked, you're still just a boiled chicken." This was Tang Shijiu's laughing and scolding voice, like a crisp little bullet dancing on Shen's heart.

"Hey..." Tianxiu groaned, tempted, "Do you want to touch it?"

"Huh? Can I touch it? You... gave me permission this time?"

"Come on, it's okay to pinch it!"

"Hmm..." Tang Shijiu's voice sounded a little strange, as if it was being forced out of his throat.

"Do you like what you see?" Tianxiu's voice was gloomy and somewhat hoarse.

"Not bad..."

"I can be even better..."

"Really! Really! Aww, it's hard again!"

Shen Yuntan could no longer hold back and rushed out, kicking open the wooden door next door.

Tianxiu cried out in surprise, and Shijiu exclaimed in alarm. They quickly picked up the robe that had fallen to the ground and covered Tianxiu with it.

Tianxiu quickly took it and covered herself up.

Shen Yuntan stood at the door, dumbfounded.
