I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating Chapter 67

Chapter 67

67 Sour and Sweet
Ji Zhao blinked curiously.
When she walked into the courtyard, she immediately saw Shen Yao in the crowd.
Shen Yao, who was dressed in blue, was quietly making record of the snails sent by the villagers.
The warm sunlight shone on him, making him look even gentler.
He seemed to have sensed Ji Zhao’s gaze. The moment he looked up, he accurately caught Ji Zhao’s infatuated gaze.
Shen Yao subconsciously smiled at her.
At this moment, Ji Zhao felt her heart stop beating.
“If you like someone, you’ll feel your heart beating non-stop. You’ll want to attract his attention, but at the same time, you’ll be afraid of him. That conflicting emotion is like a candied hawthorn wrapped in honey. It’s sour and sweet.”
At this moment, these words suddenly appeared in Ji Zhao’s mind.
She could no longer remember where these words came from, but she felt that her heart had moved.
Could it be that she really liked Shen Yao?
No, that’s not it.
She simply felt that his smile was very kind, gentle, and good-looking. That was all.
Ji Zhao pinched her palm hard. The moment the pain hit her, she finally woke up.
However, at this moment, she had already unknowingly walked in front of Shen Yao.
“Second Sister-in-law’s sweet tofu pudding is in the central room. Do you want to try it?” Shen Yao looked into her eyes gently and asked softly.
“Okay… sure!”
Ji Zhao hurriedly nodded and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
At this moment, the smile in Shen Yao’s eyes deepened.
When it was almost noon, Shen Yao finally calculated the amount of snails.
“We’ve collected a total of 80 catties of snails. The purchase price for each catty is five copper coins, a total of 400 copper coins. Excluding the cost, we should be able to earn about 380 copper coins.” Shen Yao handed the accounts he had calculated to Ji Zhao and could not help but smile. “However, most of the snails in the river in Shanghe Village should have been picked up.”
“How about this? After lunch, Third Brother will accompany Ah Tao to the county city.” Zhao Lanhua immediately decided. “This afternoon, I have to make Chenchen’s clothes.”
“Thank you, Mother!” Ji Zhao was extremely grateful and thanked her repeatedly.
“Silly girl, what are you thanking me for?” Zhao Lanhua looked at her angrily. “Isn’t Third Brother going to the bookstore anyway? I’ll be more at ease if you guys go together.”
Ji Zhao looked at Shen Yao worriedly. After all, Shen Yao’s legs were inconvenient. “Mother, actually, I can go alone…”
“Listen to Mother.” Shen Yao interrupted her as he picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed it in the bowl in front of her. “Braised pork ribs are one of Mother’s signature dishes. Try it while it’s hot.”
“… Okay.”
Ji Zhao had no choice but to swallow her words. Then, she lowered her head and focused on eating the pork ribs.
Unfortunately, the heavens were not happy.
When Shen Yao brought Ji Zhao to the county city, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.
The originally cloudless sky was suddenly covered in dark clouds. The entire Dingyuan County was enveloped in a gloomy gray.
Shen Yao made a prompt decision. He grabbed Ji Zhao’s hand and ran to Shen Ji Pastry Shop.
Just as the two of them stepped into the pastry shop, heavy rain fell from the sky!
Bean-sized raindrops hit the eaves of the house with loud bangs.
“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, why are you here? Are you wet?”
