I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 605

Chapter 605: A peaceful morning!
The sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the cozy kitchen as Li Jia stood by the stove, humming softly to herself.

The gentle morning sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over her serene figure.

Her long hair cascaded down her back, and her delicate hands moved gracefully as she prepared breakfast.

Strong, familiar hands wrapped around her waist from behind, pulling her into a firm hug.

Li Jia’s smile widened as she glanced down at the hands that held her so possessively yet tenderly.

Turning her head slightly, she caught a glimpse of Zhao Tian’s face resting against her shoulder.

“I will be leaving here today Tian…”

Zhao Tian gently caressed his face with hers and nodded his head “Mhm…”

Li Jia let out a soft sigh, her gaze dropping to the cup of coffee she held in her hands. “It seems like I’ll need to work hard to catch up with you,” she murmured.

“But I know it’ll take me years…”

Zhao Tian slightly squinted his eyes and replied “Jia, are you free tomorrow?”

Li Jia turned around to face him, her fingers playfully pinching his cheek. “Of course I’m free. What job do you think I have, huh? Apart from cultivating, I’ve got nothing else planned.”

Hearing this Zhao Tian smiled “Ok then, we can go for a date tomorrow.”

Date? A faint blush crept onto her cheeks as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear shyly “Our first date as couples…”

Zhao Tian couldn’t help but chuckle and squeezed her tighter in his arms “Yeah….”

Li Jia giggled and nuzzled her face on his cheek, enjoying the warmth of his body.

After a moment, she tilted her head slightly and asked, “By the way, where’s Elder Jing? Did she wake up?”

“Hmm.. she hurriedly ran to the Elder’s meeting.”

“I see…”

Gently lowering his head he placed a kiss against her forehead.

She closed her eyes, savoring the gentle gesture before stepping back slightly to finish preparing breakfast. “Alright, go sit down. I’ll bring everything to the table.”

Zhao Tian didn’t move, his hands still resting lightly on her waist. “Why would I sit when I can stay here and help?”

Li Jia laughed, shaking her head. “You’re not helping. You’re just getting in the way.”

“Am I?” he asked, feigning innocence as he leaned closer.

“Yes, you are.” she exclaimed, trying to sound stern but failing miserably as laughter bubbled in her throat.

Reluctantly, Zhao Tian released her, “Fine, fine. But don’t keep me waiting too long, Jia.”

“Don’t worry,” she replied with a smile, watching him as he stepped back and leaned casually against the counter, his gaze never leaving her.

As she turned back to the stove, her heart swelled with a mixture of love and contentment.

…

Zhao Tian leaned back on the plush couch in the hall, one arm draped casually over the armrest while the other rested on his lap.

The morning sun streamed through the large windows, illuminating the room with a soft golden glow.

He looked completely at ease, as he absentmindedly traced patterns on the fabric of the couch.

The soft sound of approaching footsteps made him glance toward the kitchen.

A moment later, Li Jia emerged, carrying a tray laden with steaming bowls, freshly baked bread, and a pot of fragrant tea.

“Breakfast is ready,” she muttered, setting the tray down on the low table in front of him.

Zhao Tian’s lips curved into a faint smile as he watched her. “You didn’t have to bring it out yourself. I could’ve helped.”

Li Jia shot him a playful look, placing her hands on her hips. “And let you ruin my perfectly arranged tray? No way.”

He chuckled, leaning forward slightly. “Alright, fair enough. But if you’re serving me breakfast, don’t I deserve something extra in return?”

Li Jia raised an eyebrow, feigning curiosity. “Oh? And what exactly does the great Zhao Tian want as ‘extra’?”

Instead of answering, he reached out, grabbing her wrist gently and with a quick tug, he pulled her onto his lap, her light body settling comfortably against him.

“Like this,” he murmured, wrapping his arms around her waist and holding her close.

Li Jia gasped, her cheeks flushing a deep shade of pink. “Jerk. What are you doing?”

“Why? You are my wife…”

Wife? The blush on her face deepened as she leaned onto him and he spoke “Now, are you going to feed me, or do I have to hold you hostage until you do?”

Her initial surprise melted into laughter as she shook her head. “You’re such a child.”

Picking up a small bowl of porridge, she scooped a spoonful and brought it to his lips. “Fine, open up. Let’s see if the great Zhao Tian can behave himself for once.”

He obliged, leaning forward slightly to take the spoonful of food.

The warmth of the porridge spread through him, and he couldn’t help but hum in approval. “You’ve outdone yourself, Jia. It’s delicious.”

“Of course it is,” she said with mock pride, scooping up another bite.

As she fed him, their faces were close, and Zhao Tian took every opportunity to gaze into her eyes.

The intimacy of the moment wasn’t lost on either of them, and soon, Li Jia found herself blushing under his intense yet tender gaze.

“Stop staring at me like that,” she murmured.

“Why?” he asked, his lips curving into a playful grin.

Her blush deepened, and she quickly turned her attention back to the bowl.

But before she could lift the spoon to his lips again, Zhao Tian leaned in and captured her mouth in a soft, lingering kiss.

The spoon clattered back into the bowl as Li Jia’s breath hitched.

Her hands instinctively went to his shoulders, gripping them lightly as she melted into the kiss.

“That’s for cooking me such an amazing breakfast,” he teased looking into her eyes.

Li Jia pouted, her cheeks still flushed. “You’re going to distract me until the food gets cold, aren’t you?”

“Probably,”

She sighed dramatically but couldn’t hide the smile that played on her own lips.

Picking up a piece of bread, she broke off a small bite and held it to his mouth. “Here. Eat this before I decide you don’t deserve it.”

He took the bite obediently, his arms still snug around her waist.

As she continued to feed him, he occasionally nuzzled her neck or planted a light kiss on her temple, making her giggle softly.

“You’re really acting like a spoiled child,” she teased, though her tone was affectionate.

When the last of the food was gone, Li Jia set the tray aside and leaned back against him, her head resting on his shoulder.

Zhao Tian tightened his hold on her, his chin resting atop her head.

*tap* *tap* At this time, footsteps were heard and Zhao Tian raised his head to look at Ji Shuang and Yao Jing who were entering the hall.

Zhao Tian stood up and glanced at Yao Jing “What happened? Did you reach there on time?”

Letting out a sigh, Yao Jing shook her head “No, Tian’er…”

Zhao Tian smiled dryly and turned to look at Ji Shuang.

“Follow me, Zhao Tian.”

As she left the hall, Zhao Tian waved his hand at Li Jia and Yao Jing before leaving the hall.
