Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Tonight, Chu Mucheng... really seems different, so gentle and attentive, yet she can’t resist him.

Between him and her, although they didn’t speak further, something... some emotions... have indeed changed!

When Tao Zhixiang finished tidying up and came out of the bathroom, she found that there was no sign of Chu Mucheng in the living room. She checked the bedroom as well, but he wasn’t there either...

Where could he be?

Tao Zhixiang was a bit surprised. The only remaining place... was the kitchen.

Could it be... that he went to the kitchen? What for?

When Tao Zhixiang walked into the kitchen with suspicion, she found that Chu Mucheng had already taken out the dishes she had placed in the fridge and was heating them up in the pot.

Two dishes were already warmed, and another one was sizzling in the pan, with its aroma wafting through the air.

In an instant, Tao Zhixiang’s eyes turned a little red.

And Chu Mucheng, noticing Tao Zhixiang’s presence at the kitchen door, turned around calmly and smiled at her.

Tao Zhixiang bit her lip and said, "Chu Mucheng, you... what are you doing?"

"Can’t you see? I’m reheating the dishes."

Chu Mucheng answered quite candidly, though his actions seemed a bit unskilled!

When has the eldest son of the Chu Family ever set foot in the kitchen?

Tao Zhixiang never imagined that one day, Chu Mucheng would step into the kitchen. Even though it wasn’t to cook but just to reheat the dishes, his appearance in a bathrobe, wielding a spatula, seemed... well, really out of place.

Tao Zhixiang walked over and took the spatula from Chu Mucheng’s hand.

"Let me do it!"

Chu Mucheng didn’t insist on competing, allowing Tao Zhixiang to stand in front of the stove. Meanwhile, he encircled her waist with his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.

Her hair had been cut short, and now, having just been towel-dried, it was still a bit messy, but also quite cute.

"That was quite a workout just now! Suddenly, I feel a little hungry!"

Chu Mucheng said softly, but his words made Tao Zhixiang feel intensely embarrassed.

This man...

Can’t he speak properly?

Yet, being held by him like this, in this warm little space, in this fragrant kitchen, Tao Zhixiang felt a cozy warmth.

The two of them... now resemble a sweet little couple!

Tao Zhixiang only felt a slight sting in her nose.

In reality, considering Chu Mucheng’s habits as the eldest son, he wouldn’t normally eat leftovers.

Although these dishes were prepared last night and hadn’t been touched, they were, after all... from the previous night.

For someone like Chu Mucheng, these dishes would probably just be thrown away as trash.

Yet, he claimed to be hungry!

Was Chu Mucheng really hungry?

Perhaps not!

With this thought, Tao Zhixiang’s heart warmed up again.

He didn’t call it out, so she wouldn’t say anything either.

As long as they both understood in their hearts!

At the dining table, Chu Mucheng ate while offering compliments.

"Hmm, the taste is indeed pretty good!"

Tao Zhixiang smiled softly, her eyes turning slightly moist.

Once upon a time, she had longed for moments like this with him: both of them going to work during the day, coming home at night to prepare a delicious dinner together, and then share a meal, such simple yet sweet happiness!

Even though these dishes were prepared for yesterday’s Valentine’s Day and she got burnt while making them, seeing Chu Mucheng enjoy them now, she felt everything was worth it.

That night, more than half of the dishes were finished by Chu Mucheng, resulting in him feeling a bit too full in the end.

Tao Zhixiang hurried to put away the remaining dishes.

"That’s enough. Don’t overwork your stomach. Eating so much so late won’t digest easily; be careful not to lose sleep tonight!"
