The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

433 Father and Daughter Meet (1)

When he bought the candied hawthorn, Song Jingchen only thought about how Shen Yijia liked it, but when he saw that she had eaten one skewer after another and was about to bite into the third skewer, he decisively reached out and stopped her.

Shen Yijia paused and looked at Song Jingchen accusingly. “Didn’t you buy it for me? Am I supposed to just stare at it?” she thought.

Song Jingchen coughed lightly. “We still have to eat later. Save it for tomorrow.”

“I can still eat after eating these.” Shen Yijia licked the sugar stains on her lips and looked eagerly at the candied hawthorn skewer in Song Jingchen’s hand. “Besides, look, the sugar coating on it is about to melt. It’ll definitely spoil by tomorrow.”

Song Jingchen looked at her red lips and his eyes darkened. He quickly looked away and coughed lightly. “You can put it in the ice cellar.”

“You can do that?” she thought.

Shen Yijia’s face fell. “Do we really have to do this?”

Her face was filled with resentment, as if Song Jingchen had done something wrong to her. Song Jingchen reached out and pinched her nose in amusement. “Really.”

With that, he left the study with the candied hawthorn and returned after a while.

As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Yijia unwrapping the paper bag containing the candied plums with one hand. He walked over and took the candied plums away.

As expected, he received Shen Yijia’s dissatisfied gaze.

Song Jingchen was silent for a moment. He personally opened one and fed it to Shen Yijia. “You can only eat one today.”

His fingers were slender and beautiful. The ordinary candied plums looked extraordinary in his hands.

Just like the same hairpin, the effect of putting it in a wooden box was different from putting it in a glass box.

In short, Shen Yijia felt that the candied plum in Song Jingchen’s hand was even more tempting than what she had eaten in the past.

However, his words did not sound good.

Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. She came back to her senses in a second. He bought three packets and only let her eat one?

“Are you kidding me?” she thought.

She swallowed and shut her mouth without answering. She snorted and turned her head away.

“Without at least two, don’t even think about coaxing me!” she thought.

Song Jingchen suppressed the smile on his face and said regretfully, “I originally wanted to leave these for you to eat slowly. Since you don’t like them, I’ll take them out and share them with Brother Hao and the others later.”

Shen Yijia was speechless.

Song Jingchen waited for a while, but Shen Yijia didn’t open her mouth. He pretended to retract his hand.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, he felt a soft brush across his fingertips, leaving behind a little wetness and sweeping away the candied plum.

Song Jingchen twisted his fingers. The touch just now seemed to be still there.

Shen Yijia put the candied plums in her mouth and complained in a muffled voice, “Since you won’t let me eat them, why did you buy so many?”

Song Jingchen suppressed the throbbing in his heart and reflected on himself.

When he saw it, he thought about how she liked it and couldn’t help but want to buy more for her. He didn’t consider that she couldn’t eat too much.

After reflecting, he nodded seriously and said, “Then I’ll buy less next time.”

Shen Yijia cringed.

Did she shoot herself in the foot?

Song Jingchen chuckled. He put away the remaining candied plums and pulled Shen Yijia to the courtyard. He fetched water and helped her wash the ink off her hands.

At the same time, he mentioned the matter of printing books. “Have you ever thought about making an engraved version in advance? Printing books is convenient.”

“However, once a word was carved wrongly, the entire carving would be useless.”

“Moreover, you need to prepare an engraved version for one page. How many engraved versions do you need to prepare to open your bookstore?”

“Not only that, if the books you print are only sold in your own bookstore, can you earn back the cost of hiring someone to carve the version?”

Shen Yijia did not expect this person to think so much in such a short time. He even thought of it when he was talking to her about candied hawthorn.

She did not expect there to be so many problems with printing a book.

Shen Yijia spread her hands. “Then what do you think we should do?”

With a smart brain, it would be a waste not to use it. She directly let her brain, which didn’t have many cells to begin with, shut down.

Song Jingchen took a handkerchief and wiped her hands dry. The reason why he thought about this was because books were expensive, causing many commoners to be unable to afford books and unable to go to school.

If the book printing method was promoted, not only could it increase efficiency and reduce costs, but it could also reduce the price of books.

Most importantly…

He smiled and whispered in Shen Yijia’s ear for a long time.

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up as she listened. When she heard the rest, she was puzzled. When Song Jingchen finished speaking, she puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. “Why me?”
