Chapter 689: Chapter 530 - Xiao Jinyan’s jealousy overflows, beginning to accept the fact that he is Xiao Jinyan_2

Lin Xian couldn’t listen anymore and lightly coughed twice, "Doctor Shen."

Shen Chuwei’s hand had just reached into the dish when she heard him, and lifted her head to look toward Xiao Jinyan, "Hmm?"

Lin Xian pursed his lips and silently stared at her, but inside he was thinking, she knows to give Mung Bean Cake to Wu Tan, but doesn’t think to offer me any?

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Chuwei took the initiative to ask, "What’s wrong?"

With irritation in his heart, Lin Xian glanced at the dish of Mung Bean Cake on the table and asked indifferently, "Is the Mung Bean Cake tasty?"

Shen Chuwei looked at the dish and picked up a piece of Mung Bean Cake, smiling as she said, "It’s delicious, do you want to try some?"

Lin Xian responded with an indifferent tone, simply humming in acknowledgement.

Shen Chuwei then extended the Mung Bean Cake in her hand toward him.

Lin Xian glanced at the Mung Bean Cake and reluctantly took it from her hand, examining it closely. There was a pattern on it, a delicately wrought peach blossom.

He bit into it expectantly, the cake was slightly cool and sweet, but not overly so—the flavor was indeed good.

As Shen Chuwei continued to eat her Mung Bean Cake, she asked, "Do you have any particular dish you fancy for dinner tonight? You can pick one."

Lin Xian had heard clearly before, Shen Chuwei had also asked Wu Tan to choose a dish, so in her heart, was there no difference between her own husband and Wu Tan?

He couldn’t help asking, "Why only one?"

Shen Chuwei reassured, "We are outside, let’s not be choosy, being able to order one dish is already quite good, and we still aren’t sure if they have the ingredients."

Lin Xian: "...Then why let me choose a dish?"

Shen Chuwei smiled and said, "Perhaps they have the ingredients for the dish you choose?"

Lin Xian: "..."

After Wu Tan finished his Mung Bean Cake, he lifted the tea cup in front of him to his lips and sipped a few times, casting a glance at the two people in front of him before lowering his gaze to continue drinking his tea.

After finishing the Mung Bean Cake, Shen Chuwei stood up, "You two sit for a while, I’ll go down to the kitchen."

With that, she walked out with cheerful steps.

Wu Tan also got up, but Lin Xian called out to him, "Where are you going?"

As soon as Wu Tan saw Shen Chuwei leave, he immediately stood up to follow her, clearly wanting to go after Shen Chuwei without needing to be asked.

And Lin Xian was just asking for the sake of asking.

Wu Tan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Lin Xian, his voice as indifferent as his gaze, "What concern is it of the benefactor where this humble monk goes?"

"It does not concern me." Lin Xian’s tone shifted, "However, she said I’m her husband, and she is a married woman; as a monk, shouldn’t you be avoiding such impropriety?"

"This humble monk knows his limits, there is no need for the benefactor to worry," Wu Tan said, not waiting for Lin Xian’s reply before turning to leave.

As Lin Xian watched Wu Tan’s retreating figure walk out of the door, he pressed his lips tightly together, his gaze inadvertently catching the sight of Xuetuan, who was asleep nearby. He called out, "Xuetuan."

Xuetuan, deep in sleep, did not hear his call.

Lin Xian turned his head toward the table and saw a few green fruits there, picked by Shen Chuwei. He picked one up and threw it towards Xuetuan.

The green fruit hit Xuetuan right on the head, but Lin Xian had controlled the strength of the throw, and it wasn’t hard.

Xuetuan opened its eyes, looking bewilderedly at Xiao Jinyan—was it really okay to disturb a cat’s dream?

Lin Xian gestured to him, "Come here."

Reluctantly, Xuetuan scampered down from the couch and leapt into Xiao Jinyan’s embrace, lifting its fluffy head as if waiting for him to speak.

Lin Xian discovered that Xuetuan really did listen to him very well, almost as if he were its master. Shen Chuwei had said that Xuetuan was his pet and very smart.

"Let’s go, we’ll take a stroll to the kitchen."

Saying so, he picked up Xuetuan and headed out the door.

Snuggled in Xiao Jinyan’s arms, Xuetuan naturally felt happy to be held, which was more comfortable than running.

No sooner had they stepped out than they saw Qin Xiao, claiming to be his personal guard.

"Where is the Master going?"

Lin Xian replied indifferently, "Just out for a stroll."

"Master, the Crown Princess said that you’ve just recovered from your leg injury, and you’ve already exercised quite a bit today. It’s not advisable to overexert yourself," Qin Xiao reminded him.

Lin Xian: "..."

Qin Xiao added, "Master, the Crown Princess mentioned you are going to Nanzhao Country—do you need your subordinate to prepare the horse carriage in advance, or should I get the horses ready?"

Lin Xian frowned, "You don’t have anything to do now, do you?"

Qin Xiao bowed his head respectfully, "The subordinate is currently without duties."

Lin Xian directed, "Then go and look after your Crown Princess."

Qin Xiao raised his head in confusion to look at his master, "What should I be watching for with the Crown Princess?"

Lin Xian raised his eyebrows, "Do I need to teach you that?"

"I’ll go to the Crown Princess at once." Qin Xiao walked away with his confusion, and after a distance, he glanced back, only to see no sign of his master at the doorway.
