Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Food Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Food “As long as it’s food made by my wife, I think it’s the tastiest and the best in the world,” Big Bull said very seriously.
“Big Bull, when did you learn to sweet-talk ?”
As Xuexue flipped the roast duck over the fire, she asked him this question. She felt that Big Bull had changed a lot these days; the silly look on his face seemed to have reduced a lot, but, for some reason, his memory still hadn’t returned.
“Wife, these aren’t just sweet nothings, they are true words from Big Bull’s heart.”
Big Bull quickly clarified his intention, which was to make Xuexue get used to his sweet words so that later, when he recovered his memory and seriously proposed to her, there would be an emotional foundation, and she would definitely agree eagerly. Big Bull’s dreams became more delightful, and he couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
“Alright, I know, Big Bull is the best to me!” Seeing his silly look return, Xuexue shook her head helplessly.
“Good that my wife knows!”
Xuexue replied absent-mindedly as all her focus was on the roast duck. The skin was roasted golden and crispy. However, she was unsure if the inside was cooked, so she ran to the nearby Small Bamboo Forest, broke off a small bamboo stick, came back, cleaned it, and inserted it into the duck’s leg, pressing down hard. She didn’t see any blood come out, so she knew that the roast duck was cooked.
“It’s cooked, it’s cooked.” Xuexue was delighted. After all the effort, they finally had something to eat; it wasn’t easy.
Then, the two of them each held a large duck leg and started gnawing on it.
Although the roast duck had no seasonings, not even salt, they didn’t know if it was because they were so hungry, but it tasted exceptionally delicious and flavorful.
“Hmm! Not bad, really tasty.” Big Bull kept on eating but didn’t forget to praise, “I knew my wife has clever hands. Whatever she makes, it’s delicious. Even the master chefs in the Imperial Kitchen can’t match her cooking.”
“Imperial Kitchen? Big Bull, have you been to the Imperial Palace?” Xuexue was startled upon hearing this and stopped eating, staring intently at Big Bull. Could it be that Big Bull was a member of the Imperial Family?
Realizing his slip-up and faced with Xuexue’s shocked gaze, Big Bull didn’t know what to say at the moment and pretended to be confused, saying cluelessly, “What did I say just now? I don’t know!”
“You just mentioned the Imperial Kitchen.” Xuexue still eyed him intensely.
Helplessly, ever since her rebirth, she’d been surrounded by nightmares, hearing her daughter’s piercing cries night after night, recalling the sight of her beloved little girl turning to char right before her eyes, her heart would bleed, and the pain was unbearable. She was constantly thinking about when she could return to the Capital and take revenge with her own hands.
“Did I say that? I don’t recall at all!” Big Bull feigned a trying hard to remember yet not able to recall expression.
Seeing his genuine appearance, Xuexue gave up, thinking to herself that Big Bull’s memory loss must indeed not have recovered; otherwise, given how well he treats her, he definitely wouldn’t hide anything from her.
Distractedly tidying up together, they prepared to head down the mountain.
“Wife, what’s wrong? You were fine just now; how come you look so listless all of a sudden?” Big Bull said, noticing Xuexue’s sad face.
“It’s nothing, let’s go back.”
“If there’s anything, just say it, and Big Bull will help you solve it,” Big Bull said, patting his chest, swearing solemnly.
The enemies held high positions of power; ordinary citizens would speak of them, if at all, only with the utmost respect and fear, daring not to provoke them.
Xuexue thought Big Bull was just an ordinary citizen too, so she didn’t tell him, to avoid frightening him. Her deep-seated vendetta would have to wait until her own power was stronger, then she would slowly seek her vengeance.
