"I can’t wear a skirt, it will expose too much," Liu Yuxi said shyly.
"Then I’ll just carry you out," Mu Chen said as he picked up Liu Yuxi, his eyes filled with love.
Mu Chen didn’t know why, but every time he touched Liu Yuxi, the evil Qi and murderous intent in him would gradually disappear. Moreover, Liu Yuxi’s body scent subtly intoxicated him, and her body was softer than others, which felt quite different.
"Husband, I’m sorry, I should have told you where I was," Liu Yuxi said with some self-blame as she looked at Mu Chen.
"It’s okay, I know, and I’m not blaming you. But next time, even if you’re not jealous, you must tell me where you are."
"Husband, why are you so good to me?" Liu Yuxi said with moist eyes.
"I’ve told you many times before, because you’re my wife, because I love you."
"You spoil me too much this way."
"So be it if it spoils you."
"Mm," Liu Yuxi said, as she hugged Mu Chen tightly and leaned against his chest.
"Boss, what about this guy?" At that moment, Shadow asked, gripping a person who had been discussing business with Liu Yuxi, speaking indifferently.
"Take care of him, make it clean."
"Boss, what about this person?" Lin Feng asked, pointing to a person in the later stages of Realm.
"Just leave him be. Also, go take care of the surveillance cameras here right away."
"Got it, boss, I’ll handle it now," Lin Feng said and promptly disappeared.
Mu Chen, without further ado, blinked and quickly left the place with Liu Yuxi.
Although it was a restaurant, Mu Chen left through the back to avoid everyone, leaving through a small alley.
Mu Chen took Liu Yuxi away and immediately called Qi Huang to inform him of the situation and asked him to handle it without causing any unnecessary panic.
After leaving, Mu Chen promptly took Liu Yuxi by taxi back to the villa. Upon returning, Mu Chen was shocked; Liu Yuxi had actually volunteered to cook.
"Wife, are you still my wife?" Mu Chen asked seriously as he entered the kitchen and looked at Liu Yuxi.
"Since I want to live a good life with you, I’ve read in books that women should also do some housework and give their man a little surprise," Liu Yuxi said lightly.
"Wife, if someone didn’t know better, they’d think I trained you to become so well-behaved," Mu Chen said lightly.
"Why would you say that?"
"Because you never did this before."
"What, you don’t like it?"
"I like it, I really do," Mu Chen said, visibly moved.
"Good, then go take a shower! And wait for me to finish cooking."
"Wait, wife, are you sure you don’t need my help?" Mu Chen suddenly said with an awkward laugh.
"I watched videos, there are tutorials, don’t worry, I’m very talented."
"Hehe, then I’m off," Mu Chen said, not wanting to discourage the enthusiastic Liu Yuxi, and went directly upstairs.
Thus, more than an hour passed, and after Liu Yuxi finally finished being busy and Mu Chen had taken his shower, he was called down midway to serve the dishes. Although it wasn’t much, just from the smell alone, Mu Chen felt something was amiss.
"Wife, isn’t there too little food? Should I cook a few more dishes?" Mu Chen asked looking at Liu Yuxi.
"Do you think you’re a pig? There are already four dishes, no need for more."
"Okay," Mu Chen resignedly sighed.
"Wait, wife, shouldn’t it be that we are pigs?"
"I already ate at the restaurant, this is specially cooked for you."
"Haha, wife, you’re really too good to me," Mu Chen said somewhat despairingly.
"Come on, let me serve you some rice," Liu Yuxi said seriously, handing a bowl of rice to Mu Chen, then sitting across from him, watching him with anticipation.
"Honey, why are you looking at me?"
"Watching you eat. It’s the first time I’ve cooked, and it’s all for you."
"Honey, I’m so touched!" Mu Chen said with a forced smile.
"If you’re touched, finish it all."
"Okay, to satisfy my wife." Mu Chen said, and took a bite of rice.
Dry, hard, undercooked.
That was what Mu Chen felt when he bit into it.
"Honey, are you sure you timed the cooking right?"
"I didn’t watch the clock. I stopped when there was no water left."
"Doesn’t it taste good?"
"Then have some meat!"
Mu Chen then tasted the braised pork that Liu Yuxi made.
Just after a bite, Mu Chen’s expression turned bizarre. He couldn’t help it—it was incredibly salty, with vinegar, and lacking the taste of soy sauce.
"Honey, do you know the difference between vinegar and soy sauce?"
"Isn’t it all just soy sauce?"
"Then have you tried any of what you cooked?"
"No! I cooked so well, it can’t taste bad."
"Where did you get that confidence from?"
"Mu Chen, are you saying my cooking is bad?" Liu Yuxi furrowed her brows and said.
"Honey, it’s really delicious, the best in the universe." Mu Chen immediately responded with a smile.
"That’s more like it, eat up."
"Yes, honey." Mu Chen said, and continued to eat.
Next, Mu Chen really went all out, secretly sticking silver needles into his body to temporarily lose his sense of taste, and then started devouring the food. Since he had to finish, he was prepared for anything.
"Is it really that good?" Liu Yuxi, watching Mu Chen eat with such relish but knowing it was her first attempt, began to doubt and quickly picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks.
"Honey, it’s all yours, you can’t eat." Seeing the braised pork nearing Liu Yuxi’s mouth, Mu Chen quickly intervened, not wanting Liu Yuxi to find out it tasted bad.
"Just one piece." Liu Yuxi said, and ate it, Mu Chen unable to stop her.
"What the hell is this, it tastes awful." Liu Yuxi’s face changed as she spoke.
Then, she tried three other dishes, all of which she spat out.
However, at this moment, Liu Yuxi unconsciously teared up, chuckled adorably, found it funny, yet was also touched.
"Didn’t I say you shouldn’t eat?" Mu Chen smiled and continued to eat.
"Stop eating." Seeing Mu Chen wanting to eat more, Liu Yuxi immediately stopped him.
"Honey, I think it tastes great, everything my wife makes tastes good."
"Liar, it clearly tastes bad, not good at all, why are you lying to me?" Liu Yuxi said, crying more intensely.
"What are you doing, honey? You think it tastes bad, but I think it’s good." Mu Chen, with a soft heart, immediately came to Liu Yuxi’s side and gently wiped away her tears.
"How can you be so silly, really just a big silly fool."
