Transmigrating as the Buddha-like Main Consort of a Power Minister

Chapter 49: Busy and Neglected Xiao Qingming

Ji Wan'er was extremely shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected Xiao Qingming to do such a thing. Even after Xiao Qingming's lips left hers, she couldn't snap out of her daze.

That's not what she meant.

"Well, I'll remember," Xiao Qingming said, and after glancing at Ji Wan'er, he left the house. His movements and demeanor appeared calm, completely different from the embarrassed state of being caught while stealing a kiss.

Once Xiao Qingming's figure disappeared from sight and the sound of the door closing echoed, Ji Wan'er finally regained her senses.

Just now... she was kissed by Xiao Qingming?

Ji Wan'er slowly raised her hand and touched her lips.

It felt as if the cool sensation still lingered there.

Thinking about the serious and devout expression Xiao Qingming had when he kissed her, and the intense aura that belonged to him, Ji Wan'er's face immediately flushed, and her heartbeat pounded like a drum, incessantly.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

Ji Wan'er, being slow to react, began to feel shy.

Even though there was no one in the room, she felt as if she were being watched. She quickly pulled the blanket covering her chest up to her head, hiding her blushing face.

Ji Wan'er was not the only one who couldn't remain composed. When Xiao Qingming kissed her just now, he appeared calm on the surface but was actually extremely nervous inside. After the kiss, he hurriedly left, not letting Ji Wan'er see his nervousness.

However, once he was outside, he calmed down and began to reflect on what had just happened.

He actually did it.

He had thought about this countless times, dreamed about it countless times, but never had the courage to act on it. And now, it has suddenly become a reality. As he gently caressed his excited heart, Xiao Qingming couldn't help but feel that this feeling was really wonderful.

He pursed his lips, savoring the sensation from earlier.

As a gentle breeze blew, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Qingming's mouth, and he walked briskly towards the academy.

Meanwhile, Ji Wan'er had been lying in bed for nearly half an hour and finally got up close to the time for grocery shopping.

Business was still good today, and the spicy dishes she had put up yesterday were chosen again. This further confirmed that her decision was the right one. Ji Wan'er thought that since everyone liked spicy food, she could come up with more dishes.

When it was close to closing time, Xiao Qingming returned.

Upon seeing Xiao Qingming, Ji Wan'er felt a momentary nervousness, but as she saw his gentle smile, her nervousness turned into shyness, and her heartbeat seemed to skip a beat. Under the dim candlelight, she couldn't help but feel that Xiao Qingming looked even more handsome than before, and his smile was as warm as jade.

"My wife, were you tired today?" Xiao Qingming asked.

Ji Wan'er approached and squeezed his hand, smiling as she replied, "Not tired."

The two stood in front of the stove, looking at each other and smiling, without saying a word. Even though no words were exchanged, there was no awkwardness at all.

After a while, Ji Wan'er spoke up, "Were you tired from studying today?"

Xiao Qingming shook his head and said, "Not tired."
