Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Violent Girl, I’m Staying at Your Place Tonight!

The little feet under the table were so nimble, gently brushing against Xu Qianli’s leg that he lost his appetite for his meal.

Seeing him lost in thought, Zi Guangyu picked up some delicious food for him.

"Xu Qian, don’t zone out. Eat more, and don’t be polite to auntie, okay?"

"Considering your relationship with Zi Ning, our home is your home. You can’t be polite in your own house, you know."

"Here, this is auntie’s specialty dish. Taste it and see how you like the flavor."

Xu Qianli responded with a smile, "Thank you, auntie. I’ll try it right now."

While eating, Xu Qianli kept his attention on the little feet under the table.

At first, he thought it was Zi Yumo reaching over, but realized something was off. Zi Yumo was sitting to his left, and the foot was coming from the right.

And sitting to his right was none other than his childhood friend Ji Yunxi!

This woman really was something, acting as if she had no interest in him, playing footsie under someone else’s table during a meal. What was that about?

Not only did she extend her foot, she was also very enthusiastic and bold, as if desperately trying to get him roused.

Watching that little foot become bolder, Xu Qianli reached out his hand under the table and gently squeezed it.

"Mmh..."

A soft moan escaped Ji Yunxi’s lips.

Zi Guangyu’s attention was drawn, "Yunxi, what’s wrong?"

"Ah, it’s nothing, it’s just a bit hot. I burnt my tongue."

"Auntie, your cooking is really delicious. I wish I could stay at your place every day and eat your yummy food."

"Especially these crispy spareribs, they’re amazing. So yummy."

"Come on, Big Black Bull brother, you should eat more too."

Ji Yunxi acted as if nothing had happened, busy picking food for Xu Qianli, but in reality, she was grimacing. Big Black Bull brother was so annoying, scratching the sole of her foot like that, so ticklish.

Even though it was ticklish, Ji Yunxi didn’t retract her foot and let Xu Qianli hold it.

While holding Ji Yunxi’s little foot, Xu Qianli, suddenly feeling mischievous, extended his left foot and hooked Zi Yumo’s leg over, grabbing her foot and placing it on his leg, and even more conveniently, he slipped off her sandal.

Zi Yumo was eating when she unexpectedly realized Xu Qianli was up to something naughty, stealthily making a move on her. He had her little foot in his grasp, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to do, hesitating, she then indulged Xu Qianli’s whim.

Soon she noticed something was amiss. There was another foot on Xu Qianli’s leg, clearly Ji Yunxi’s.

Zi Yumo was even less inclined to withdraw her foot now and took the initiative to tease Xu Qianli.

After Ji Yunxi noticed, she was not to be outdone.

Zi Guangyu, oblivious to what was happening, was warmly inviting Xu Qianli to eat more and chatted idly with him, inquiring about his work and life situation. She also specifically mentioned Xu Qianli’s work in Qingshan Town. She not only approved but even had the idea of promoting it throughout the province and asked for Xu Qianli’s opinion.

Xu Qianli mentioned that Qingshan Town’s situation had certain unique characteristics that couldn’t be replicated.

Firstly, Qingshan Town had very well-preserved natural resources and extremely beautiful scenery, which were not common in other towns within the province.

Moreover, the reason Qingshan Town had received so much investment was partly due to luck, which other towns might find difficult to come by.

In addition, there were many restrictions.

Of course, if there truly were a town with landscapes that could rival Qingshan Town and possessed great investment prospects, it would be possible to promote the experience of Qingshan Town.

Zi Guangyu agreed with Xu Qianli’s view and admired it even more; he found it remarkable that at such a young age, Xu Qianli could see things so clearly.

Without hesitation, Zi Guangyu served Xu Qianli several more delicious dishes.

As they chatted, Zi Guangyu gradually steered the conversation to family matters, specifically mentioning Zi Ning, saying that Zi Ning was still studying in Beijing and would come back to meet Xu Qianli during the holidays. Once she had completed her studies, she could marry Xu Qianli at any time.

Ji Yunxi was utterly surprised to hear this, as Xu Qianli was rumored to have something going on with Zi Yumo—so why was he supposed to marry Zi Ning? What was this all about?

Dinner ended quickly, and Zi Guangyu went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Ji Yunxi ran off to help, leaving just Xu Qianli and Zi Yumo in the dining room.

Without another word, Xu Qianli pulled Zi Yumo into his embrace and held her tight, "Violent girl, did you miss me these past few days?"

"Ptui, who would miss you, you scoundrel!"

"Let me go, my mom and Yunxi are just in the kitchen. They could come out any minute. What if they see us?"

"Just now, you kept touching my leg and pinching my foot, and now you’ve grabbed hold of me. I knew you were up to no good."

"Don’t you dare be naughty, I refuse to let you take advantage of me again. Let go of me now!"

Zi Yumo playfully scolded Xu Qianli, asking him to let go, yet she didn’t struggle at all, letting Xu Qianli hold her, and let his naughty hands sneak down her neckline, eventually allowing Xu Qianli to easily capture her red lips with his.

After a heated kiss, Zi Yumo collapsed into Xu Qianli’s arms, looking at him with eyes full of affection.

Xu Qianli said, "How about I stay with you tonight, violent girl? Let’s spend the night together."

Zi Yumo nodded slightly, consenting. After all, she was already Xu Qianli’s woman, and she had missed him these days too. There was no need to be coy, so she readily agreed.

Xu Qianli smirked to himself, thinking victory was his. Tonight, he would spend it with the beautiful Zi Yumo.

He remembered the wonderful time they had shared that one night, and he was delighted at the thought of reliving it tonight.

The atmosphere between the two was perfect when they suddenly heard footsteps from the kitchen. Zi Yumo quickly left Xu Qianli’s embrace.

After dinner, Zi Guangyu invited Xu Qianli to the study for a casual chat. He first sincerely thanked Xu Qianli for saving his daughter Zi Ning’s life last month, then he began to praise Zi Yumo, speaking of how wonderful she was.

Although Zi Guangyu didn’t make things explicitly clear, Xu Qianli understood that his powerful mother-in-law knew everything.

Since she knew everything, Xu Qianli didn’t hold back and tactfully expressed that he would take good care of both Zi Yumo and Zi Ning.

Receiving Xu Qianli’s response, Zi Guangyu showed a satisfied smile and invited Xu Qianli to stay the night, asking him to make himself at home.

Xu Qianli had wanted to spend the night with Zi Yumo and was wondering where to go. Now that Zi Guangyu had offered, he readily accepted.

As time ticked away, the night deepened, and Ji Yunxi bid her farewell and went back to her own home.

Zi Guangyu had the habit of going to bed early, and after giving Xu Qianli a nod, he went to his room to rest.

Soon, it was just Xu Qianli and Zi Yumo left alone.

Xu Qianli’s eyes burned with intense heat as he gazed at Zi Yumo, like the fiercest, hungriest tiger eyeing its prey without looking away.

Alone with Xu Qianli and seeing that look on his face, Zi Yumo knew exactly what he was thinking.

Such fiery eyes, such a predatory gaze—one look made her body heat up, her heartbeat race uncontrollably, impossible to resist.

Honestly, she had never been frightened by brutal bandits or bullet storms, but now she felt intimidated by just a look from Xu Qianli.

With her heart pounding, Zi Yumo couldn’t take it anymore. Without a word, she turned and walked away, returning to her room.

Xu Qianli let out a slight smile and quickly followed her.
