With that, she carried the cleaned vegetable basket and bowl, turned and headed for the kitchen.
The three of them watched her back as she left the roomâ¦
Yuchuan asked, âWife, havenât you finished what you were saying?
âDo you need to take a breath when youâre speaking like you do before hanging oneself?â Her beautiful and melodious voice carried on the air.
âThen wife, rest first, then finish talking.â Xiao Yuchuan grumbled, âHave you ever seen someone leave in the middle of a conversation when they were really into it?â
Xiao Qinghe could not help but smile, âShe did that on purpose.â
âYueâer is still young and mischievous.â Yishanâs deep and frosty gaze fixed on the kitchen, full of indulgence, even though he could not see her inside.
âSecond brother, we canât keep letting this happen, if we let it continue, our wife will become a tyrant at home, climbing over our headsâ¦â He was saying this when he noticed the silhouette by the door, âWife, you are back so soon.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow far do you think it is to the kitchen? You thought I would walk slow.â She rolled her eyes at him, âXiao Yuchuan, youâre speaking ill of me behind my back while Iâm away!â
âHow could I do that?â He winked at her, fluttering his long eyelashes, âWife, I donât even have enough time to spoil youâ¦â
âHumph.â She snorted heavily, walked over with large steps, giving off an assertive look, âI am a tyrant at home!â She shot a fierce glare at Yuchuan, but towards the other two, she grinned sweetly, just like a peach blossom in bloom in March, âSecond brother, fourth brother, you donât mind, do you?â She still felt she needed more time to compete with peach blossoms for beauty.
âOf course we donât mind.â Xiao Yishan spoke with a gentle yet unwavering male voice.
The second brotherâs voice was intoxicating and emotional like aged wine, full of an attractive maturity.
Unable to resist the urge to gush over it, Su Qingyue held back!
âQingyue, do whatever you want.â Qingheâs voice was light and clear, refreshing and heartwarming as a spring breeze.
She looked at his pale, slightly sickly handsome face⦠âDo whatever you wantâ¦â She truly wanted to torment him a bit⦠but after a fierce struggle internally, her rationality came to the fore. She decided not to corrupt the innocent youth.
A villain should have morals too.
âWife, youâre aggressive towards me, but you sneak smiles at second and fourth brotherâ¦â Yuchuan complained unhappily.
Su Qingyue wanted to say that she was not being sneaky but simply being flirtatious, which shouldnât be misinterpreted. But she stopped herself, deciding against the potential harassment. âIâve finished laughing, letâs get down to business.â
She sat down in a chair with a serious look, reached for the water pot on the table, poured herself a cup, and lifted it to her lips with a slow, steady movement.
The three of them watched her graceful and enchanting drinking movement, and found themselves unable to look away.
Only after she put down the cup, she picked up the thread of the previous conversation and said, âIf the dried fern is cooked correctly, it can be quite delicious. Take the dried fern with pork skin, for example, itâs a famous dish. Once you finish preparing the pork skin and steam it, you add ginger, garlic, and soy sauce to the hot oil, stir fry the fern, add salt and water, and simmer it until the soup dries up. Itâs so delicious that it makes one droolâ¦â
âWife, Iâm almost starving just listeningâ¦â Xiao Yuchuan cried, âI want to eat stir-fried dried fern with pork skin!â
âIâll make it for you later.â She was in an unusually good mood.
âMy wife is the best!â
Su Qingyue pondered for a moment, then continued, âI didnât impulsively purchase on a large scale so many ferns and bayberries. These two things will be out of season soon, and as things get scarce, their selling price will rise. Yet, thereâs also a risk, itâs possible we might not be able to sell them at all. Therefore, to prevent a loss on my business, Iâve already bought up all the food our family needs for the next half year.â
