Reincarnation: My Possessive Beast Husband

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: She Won’t Use the Chopsticks He’s Touched

Chu Yuxiao propped his forehead and quietly watched her, his twinkling eyes seemingly pondering something.

“I am aware of the first and third points you mentioned, but indeed, the second point is a very important clue.

Very well, I will allow you to participate in the investigation.

However, you must follow my commands at all times.”

Su Yan’s face lit up with joy, and she bowed with her fists clasped, “Thank you, Marquis. You are truly wise!”

Although she despised Chu Yuxiao, she still admired his impartiality.

...

Chu Yuxiao immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the blacksmith shops and medical halls in Linglan City.

Anyone who had forged tube-like bronze artifacts or sold Jasmine Sedative was captured and interrogated one by one.

That day, the entire Linglan City had an ominous feeling of a storm brewing.

In the evening, Su Yan returned to her residence, took a bath, and was eating when Jin Lan came in to report that the Marquis had arrived.

When Chu Yuxiao entered, Su Yan gestured with her hand for Jin Lan and Jin Hua to leave.

“Marquis, have you eaten? If not, why don’t you join me?”

Su Yan pointed with her chopsticks to the food in front of her.

Chu Yuxiao sat down beside her, tilting his head to look at her, his eyes arching playfully, even without a smile.

Feeling uneasy under his close scrutiny, Su Yan averted her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes, and said casually,

“It seems you have already eaten, but I haven’t. If you have something to say, please wait until I’m done eating.”

Just as she extended her chopsticks to pick up a piece of bamboo shoot to put in her mouth, Chu Yuxiao suddenly grabbed her hand. With a twist of the chopsticks, the bamboo shoot ended up in his mouth.

“You…” Su Yan looked at him in surprise, what was he implying?

“Who said I had eaten? I will dine with you here today.”

Chewing on the bamboo shoot in his mouth, Chu Yuxiao smiled mischievously.

Su Yan put down her chopsticks and called out to Jin Lan outside the door, “Jin Lan, bring two clean pairs of chopsticks.”

“No need, just this pair will suffice.” Chu Yuxiao picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a piece of green vegetable, and pretended to feed Su Yan.

Disgusted, Su Yan turned her head away. She would not use chopsticks he had touched.
