Chapter 996: Candlelight Dinner
Uh...
Eat...
"Hiss..."
"Wifey, forget it, let’s not eat this, this stuff doesn’t taste good!"
Lin Feng shook his head, drove away those messy thoughts, and spoke.
"Huh? It doesn’t taste good?"
"Alright then, we won’t eat it!"
Zhang Yuxi said somewhat disappointed.
"Phew..."
Lin Feng quietly wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Then he saw there were live groupers over there.
In an instant, over a hundred recipes for grouper flashed through his mind.
So he said,
"Baby, let’s have fish tonight. This fish is super tender when steamed, super delicious!"
"Really?"
Zhang Yuxi’s eyes lit up!
Like a little greedy cat, she spoke excitedly.
"Mm, little glutton!"
Lin Feng tapped Zhang Yuxi’s little nose and said with a smile.
Then Lin Feng picked out a nice hefty grouper.
He bought some beef and other side dishes too!
Then he picked a few nicer bottles of red wine and some candles, planning to have a cozy candlelight dinner!
After buying all the seasonings and everything else, the two of them went to the checkout!
While they were lining up to pay,
Zhang Yuxi suddenly noticed the little raincoats Lin Feng had bought before sitting next to the register.
She asked curiously,
"Hubby, they have that gum you bought before here too!"
Then she picked up a watermelon-flavored box and looked at it.
Lin Feng felt a little guilty, and hurriedly said,
"Baby, don’t look at that, it doesn’t taste good."
"It’s our turn, let’s pay."
"Mm-hmm."
Zhang Yuxi didn’t think much of it. She was about to put it down when she suddenly saw the big characters next to it.
"Condoms..."
Zhang Yuxi’s face flushed red in an instant...
She’d figured it out...
This big bad wolf Lin Feng!
Lin Feng didn’t notice anything off about Zhang Yuxi, he thought she hadn’t seen it...
He put their stuff on the counter and paid.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuxi’s face was all red, her head lowered the whole time.
After paying, Lin Feng reached out to take Zhang Yuxi’s hand.
He suddenly noticed her little face was flushed.
He asked, a little confused,
"Baby, what’s wrong?"
"N-nothing..."
Zhang Yuxi answered a bit flustered.
Lin Feng was a bit puzzled, but didn’t dwell on it.
He said with a smile,
"Baby, let’s go."
"Let’s go home and cook!"
"Okay!"
By now, Zhang Yuxi had recovered.
She smiled sweetly!
Then the two of them walked toward the community, hand in hand.
...
Very soon, they were back in the neighborhood.
"Baby, in a bit your hubby will put on a show for you, let you see how awesome your man is!"
Lin Feng said with a big grin.
"Mm-hmm."
Zhang Yuxi held onto Lin Feng’s arm and smiled sweetly.
Chatting as they went, the two of them stepped into the elevator.
"Ding..."
The elevator doors opened and they walked toward their front door, still smiling.
"Click..."
After Zhang Yuxi keyed in the code, the door opened.
Lin Feng carried the groceries into the kitchen.
After closing the door, Zhang Yuxi also followed me into the kitchen.
The kitchen was big enough for two people to mess around in as they pleased!
"Baby, I’m about to start!"
Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Zhang Yuxi was incredibly excited too!
Then, after Lin Feng arranged all the bottles and jars of seasoning, he started prepping the grouper!
The grouper had already been killed and cleaned at the supermarket!
Lin Feng just needed to deal with the fins and trim the edges and make the cuts!
Lin Feng picked up the fish, tossed it up, then waved the kitchen knife a few times in midair.
The whole fish was processed just like that, and neat, evenly deep cuts appeared all over its body!
Zhang Yuxi covered her little mouth, completely stunned!
So amazing!
This was basically an acrobatics performance, right?!
So awesome!
She looked at Lin Feng with total adoration!
After dealing with the fish, Lin Feng started slicing the beef, using the exact same moves!
Watching him, Zhang Yuxi kept clicking her tongue in amazement!
She hadn’t expected Lin Feng to have this up his sleeve too!
Snapping out of it, Zhang Yuxi hurried off to wash the vegetables!
After all, it’s only fun when both of them are working together!
"Chop chop chop..."
Keeping a steady rhythm, Lin Feng chopped the beef, planning to use part of it to make meatball soup!
The remaining part would be used for pan-fried steak!
A fusion of Chinese and Western for this meal!
After a flurry of busy work,
All the ingredients were chopped.
Lin Feng heated the wok and lit the burner!
First he seasoned the wok with pork skin!
Only then did he start stir-frying for real!
He put in some butter and let it slowly melt.
Then with a flick of his hand, two pieces of steak bounced up and landed in the pan right on target.
Soon they were sizzling in the pan.
The aroma burst out instantly.
Then all sorts of side ingredients flew through the air...
The whole kitchen looked like a magic show.
It made Zhang Yuxi’s eyes go blurry...
So magical!
Lin Feng was seriously badass!
Soon, Lin Feng’s fancy kitchen moves had Zhang Yuxi completely dazzled!
Half an hour later, the two of them were sitting face to face at the dining table!
Looking at the steaming dishes in front of her, Zhang Yuxi’s eyes were sparkling, and she was practically drooling!
The fact that she could hold back and not steal a bite already gave Lin Feng a lot of face!
"Ding-dong..."
The doorbell rang.
Zhang Yuxi looked puzzled. Who could be ringing the doorbell?
Lin Feng smiled, got up, and went to open the door.
It was a delivery guy from a flower shop.
These were the flowers Lin Feng had secretly ordered on his phone earlier when Zhang Yuxi wasn’t paying attention.
Lin Feng paid, took the flowers, and closed the door before walking back.
"Ta-da-da..."
"My dear wifey, your surprise!"
Grinning, Lin Feng pulled out a huge bouquet of roses from behind his back.
"Wow!"
Zhang Yuxi covered her little face, totally shocked.
She took the roses from Lin Feng’s hands and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hubby, thank you!"
"I’m really so, so happy!"
Zhang Yuxi said, her face full of happiness.
Lin Feng grinned happily too.
Then Lin Feng lit the candles and turned off the dining room light.
He personally poured each of them half a glass of red wine.
With her cheeks resting in her hands, Zhang Yuxi watched Lin Feng bustling around, her face full of happiness.
This kind of life was perfect, blissful—just like she’d imagined!
Then the two of them sat facing each other and exchanged a smile.
Lin Feng raised his wineglass and said softly,
"Baby, happy housewarming!"
"Mm-hmm, happy housewarming!"
Zhang Yuxi also raised her glass and said with a smile.
"Clink."
Their glasses lightly touched, and they each took a sip.
"Ha..."
Zhang Yuxi stuck out her little tongue, not quite used to it.
This was her first time drinking.
"Hehehe..."
Seeing how cute Zhang Yuxi looked, Lin Feng couldn’t help but laugh.
"Baby, dig in."
"Here, try this fish!"
Lin Feng picked up a piece of fish and put it in Zhang Yuxi’s bowl.
"Thank you, hubby!"
Zhang Yuxi smiled sweetly.
Then she picked up the fish and put it in her mouth.
"Mm??"
"So fresh! This flavor is insane!"
Her eyes lit up!
"Wow! This is way too good!"
Zhang Yuxi exclaimed in surprise!
She felt like this was the best fish she’d had in ages!
Watching her look so delighted, Lin Feng smiled.
Then he put some more dishes into Zhang Yuxi’s bowl.
