405 Ice Cellar (Part One)

Zhao Zhan’s eyes glowed with a dark light.

There were many rare and niche things in Shangjing. He had found a safe contraceptive method in Shangjing, and now that the restaurant had taken its first step smoothly, he was in a good mood and had the time to think about other things.

The truth was, after giving birth, Yue Jiaojiao had an even more alluring charm than before.

The flower bud that was originally blooming shyly was now slightly in full bloom.

The young and tender peach hanging on the branch had now become a full and juicy nectarine.

In the past, Zhao Zhan would always be concerned about not hurting her. Now, the red marks on Yue Jiaojiao’s body rarely faded.

As soon as they returned to the manor, Madam Qin immediately pushed Zhao Nian to Doctor Sun’s courtyard. Zhao Zhan hugged Yue Jiaojiao and went straight into the kitchen.

There weren’t many servants in the residence, and the kitchen was usually occupied by Zhao Zhan or Madam Qin. Madam Zhang would occasionally cook a few special dishes from Bei City, but it wasn’t very frequent.

The ingredients for making the cake had been prepared all along. Yue Jiaojiao took a few glances and said, “It takes a long time to make the cake batter. Why don’t we do it another day?”

“Jiaojiao?”

Li Xiangjun was wearing thick gloves and holding a cake that had just been taken out of the oven. “What are you and Zhao Zhan doing here?”

Because she wanted to teach Li Xiangjun how to make cakes, there was a separate oven in the courtyard.

“Jiaojiao wants to teach me how to make cakes, so I’m here to learn from her.”

Li Xiangjun held up the cake in her hands. “I just made one here. Jiaojiao, why don’t you teach Zhao Zhan this recipe?”

Now, she couldn’t run even if she wanted to. Before Yue Jiaojiao could say anything, Zhao Zhan had already thanked her, “Thank you, Miss Li. This will save us a lot of time.”

Li Xiangjun placed the cake on the table and looked at Yue Jiaojiao as she blinked and left quickly.

“Jiaojiao,” Zhao Zhan said pointedly, “Shall I bring the cream over?”

The ice cellar was built behind the kitchen.

“I haven’t been down there since the ice cellar was built,” Yue Jiaojiao said curiously. “I want to go in and take a look too.”

“Alright,” he said.

Zhao Zhan held her hand, removed the cake from the mold, and placed it aside to cool. Then, he took Yue Jiaojiao’s hand and brought her into the ice cellar.

As soon as she went down, Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but shiver.

The ice cellar was built very deep down, and the ice bricks were piled up into a thick ice wall.

“Are you afraid?”

Zhao Zhan raised his hands and stroked her shoulders. “Are you thinking about your childhood?”

Hearing him bring up the past, Yue Jiaojiao’s tension eased. “Although the memories of my childhood are scary, didn’t you save me back then?”

Yue Jiaojiao was a little obsessed with emotional cleanliness.

When she was young, she had accidentally transmigrated into this body for a short time, and Zhao Zhan had saved her at the time.

Even if she did not believe in fate in the past, she had to admit that this world had its own ingenious existence.

“Fortunately, you’re not the only one who remembers the past. I can also remember some things intermittently.”

The light from the ice cellar came from the entrance on the ground, and a faint beam of light just happened to hit Yue Jiaojiao’s side view.

Her hair seemed to be coated with a layer of gold because of the light.

The fine hair on her face was very clear.

His lover’s eyes were filled with an indescribable charm.

Zhao Zhan lowered his head and sealed her bright red lips with a kiss. Then, he turned around and leaned against the ice wall, holding Yue Jiaojiao firmly in his arms.

“Oh-”

The surface of his skin was bone-piercingly cold, but his lips were burning hot.

Yue Jiaojiao felt as if she was caught in a world of fire and ice. However, a wave of heat immediately swept through her body, making her pant and making her legs so weak that she couldn’t stand.

Zhao Zhan’s arms lifted her up gently.

Yue Jiaojiao subconsciously wrapped her legs around his waist.

Her body was in the air, and the feeling became more clear until her earlobe went numb. She couldn’t help but tremble all over.

“Eh? Why is the lid of the ice cellar open?”

Madam Zhang’s voice came from above. Zhao Zhan carried Yue Jiaojiao and moved to the shadow beside him.

“Is there anyone down there?”

Yue Jiaojiao subconsciously buried her head in Zhao Zhan’s shoulder and neck.

“It’s me, Zhao Zhan.” Zhao Zhan said. “Please be careful of where you’re going. This ice cellar is very deep.”

“Of, it’s just you. Since you’re the one in here, I won’t close the lid. Madam Zhang stood a little further away from the ice cellar. “You’d better not stay in there for too long. It’s very cold.”
