Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 66: Holding Su Xiaoxiao in the Palm of Their Hands
Aunt Guo understood her own son’s temperament very well.
He was too stubborn!
If he broke up with Xiaoxiao, he probably wouldn’t even glance at another woman for the rest of his life. That’s why he stubbornly remained single until the age of twenty-four, only willing to marry when he found someone he truly liked.
"Yes, listen to your mother. Tell me how you want it later. I’ll learn to cook all your favorite dishes," she said.
Jiang Yexun collected all the crabs in the bamboo basket and straightened up, looking at Su Xiaoxiao with eager eyes.
Seeing how they were all doting on her, Su Xiaoxiao felt no need to be coy. She sweetly replied, "Okay!"
The slight upturn of her lips revealed faint dimples on her cheeks.
Jiang Yexun had always known that she had dimples, but they would only appear when she smiled brilliantly.
However, because they were so rare, every time he saw them, his heart would race uncontrollably.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, your cake should be ready. Let me bring it out for you to taste. Yexun, could you make a cup of malted milk for Xiaoxiao?" Aunt Guo said hurriedly as she headed towards the kitchen.
In their family, they cooked meat dishes more often, so they reinforced and sealed the doors and windows of the kitchen.
Jiang Yexun had even made a large wooden cover, two sizes larger than the pot, to cover the food while steaming or stewing so that the smell wouldn’t escape.
That’s why there was no smell in the kitchen just now, but as soon as the lid was lifted, a faint sweet fragrance mixed with the scent of milk and the aroma of the cake wafted out.
It made everyone involuntarily swallow their saliva.
"Oh my, Xiaoxiao, this cake you made looks and smells delicious!" Aunt Guo smiled so much her face was about to crease like a flower.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but take a sniff as well.
"It smells so good, but I don’t know how it tastes yet. I’ve only heard that it’s made like this," she quickly explained, modestly.
But she was actually quite anxious.
She was afraid that her high expectations would be dashed if the taste didn’t live up to it, and Aunt Guo and Jiang Yexun would be disappointed.
"How could it not be? Your cake looks like it’s going to be delicious." Aunt Guo took out a porcelain basin and placed it on the stove.
Using chopsticks, she cut a piece of the cake, which was not only golden in color but also very fluffy.
She put a piece in a bowl and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
"Be careful, it might be hot."
"Auntie, you should try it too," Su Xiaoxiao urged her.
"Alright, alright." Aunt Guo happily agreed.
Then she picked up a small piece for herself.
They cooled it down together before putting it in their mouths.
The sweetness was just right, coupled with the faint milk fragrance, it couldn’t be compared to the cakes sold in the market.
Jiang Yexun came in with two cups of malted milk.
What he saw was the two of them leaning against the stove, their eyes squinted in enjoyment.
The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up.
He handed the malted milk to them and raised an eyebrow, "Is it really that good?"
"Why do you speak like this, you brat?" Aunt Guo glared at him without a good temper.
Then she said to Su Xiaoxiao beside her, "This brat’s mouth is never pleasant. Let’s punish him by not giving him any more delicious food."
"How about we punish him in other ways?" Su Xiaoxiao’s mischievous smile disappeared instantly, and she suggested softly.
She had only done this to share the food with him, and she couldn’t bear to ignore Jiang Yexun.
"It’s because Xiaoxiao pampers me." Jiang Yexun raised his eyebrows, looking a little smug.
"It’s just that Xiaoxiao can tolerate your stubborn temper. Don’t take it for granted. What you say can be hurtful, you know?!" Aunt Guo advised as she fed Jiang Yexun a piece of cake.
Jiang Yexun’s earlier comment was just a tease, but hearing his mother’s words, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao discreetly.
Although the young girl didn’t show any signs of being upset, he still pondered seriously.
In the end, he responded earnestly, "I understand, and I won’t do it again in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with surprise.
She didn’t expect that Jiang Yexun would actually take his mother’s casual words to heart.
Jiang Yexun felt a little embarrassed at being caught off guard. He rubbed his nose and muttered, "In the future, I’ll only say nice things to make you happy."
Su Xiaoxiao’s almond-shaped eyes curved as she smiled brightly and sweetly. "Then I’ll say nice things to make you happy in the future too."
"As a grown man, what do I need to be pampered for? Just tell me anything you want, whether you’re unhappy or someone bullies you, don’t keep it in your heart, and don’t try to solve it on your own," Jiang Yexun said with a furrowed brow, concerned.
Who said that men didn’t need to be pampered?!
Su Xiaoxiao refuted in her heart.
But Aunt Guo was still there, stifling her laughter as she watched the show.
She couldn’t say such sweet words with Jiang Yexun so close, so she could only nod meekly and obediently.
Jiang Yexun looked at her behaving so obediently and couldn’t help but feel an itch in his heart.
He wanted to hug her and kiss her, but in the end, he could only bury his head and eat the remaining piece of cake in his bowl.
However, the taste when it entered his mouth made his eyes light up.
The flavor was indeed excellent, even better than the egg cake made by the chef who was especially invited by Big Gao.
"You didn’t just use milk and sugar in this, did you?" Jiang Yexun finished the cake in two bites and asked thoughtfully.
"I didn’t use sugar; I used honey instead," Su Xiaoxiao explained casually.
Hearing this, Aunt Guo looked at the half piece of cake left in her bowl and suddenly felt that this thing was really precious.
Powdered milk and honey, were all valuable items.
The people in their village couldn’t even afford them for childbirth and postpartum recovery.
"It’s delicious! Really delicious!" Jiang Yexun’s words seemed a bit exaggerated because he was trying to make up for the not-so-nice things he had said earlier.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh at his words. "Then I’ll make it for you again next time."
"No need, you can teach me, and I’ll make it for you next time," Jiang Yexun said with a light cough.
He had made noodles, dumplings, and other dishes at home before, so he knew how tough kneading dough was.
Su Xiaoxiao had wrists as thin as two fingers, and he didn’t think she was suited for this kind of strenuous activity.
"Xiaoxiao, be a good girl. Let him handle this kind of thing," Aunt Guo immediately agreed, echoing her previous sentiments.
They had discussed this matter many times over the past few days.
Su Xiaoxiao knew she couldn’t win against them and obediently agreed, deciding not to argue with them about these things in the future.
But she berated herself severely in her heart.
How blind were her eyes in her previous life?
In the face of such a good mother and son, how could she have firmly believed that they were just putting on an act and trying to deceive her?!
