Tian Xingyun watched him go upstairs, then got up, put on her shoes, and walked into the kitchen.
She opened the fridge to take a look and found nothing but water inside.
Her pretty eyes rolled, and with a mischievous wink, she smiled and made a cheering gesture with her fist.
She walked into the living room, grabbed her bag, and headed out, taking a taxi to the nearby farmers’ market.
She bought the ingredients she needed and hurried back to the villa.
Huo Shaohua was resting in the room when he was woken up by his phone.
After finishing the call, he stood on the balcony looking downstairs, feeling that something was off with Tian Xingyun today.
She really wanted to help those people in the courtyard, yet she didn’t come to ask him?
Back then, she did everything for Huatan Village.
Maybe the courtyard wasn’t that important to her.
He walked into the room, put his phone on the table, then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Huo Shaohua came out of the shower, wearing a loose bathrobe.
He went downstairs to the living room and smelled the aroma of food; whose cooking smelled this good?
Following the smell, he arrived at the dining room and saw seven or eight dishes laid out on the table.
The dishes were still steaming, filling the air with a delightful fragrance.
Getting closer, he felt even more like eating. His gaze turned to the kitchen and saw Tian Xingyun busying herself.
His brow instinctively furrowed; did she make these dishes?
She finished cooking another dish, turned around with it, and smiled when she saw him.
"Honey, you’re awake."
"..." Huo Shaohua was slightly stunned and didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
Isn’t this a scene straight out of a TV drama? The wife cooking for her husband who just got home from work.
At that time, he thought those people were overacting; how could it be so blissful?
But now he actually felt a bit happy...
"Sit down and try my cooking." Tian Xingyun placed the dish on the table and pulled him to sit down.
"Did you make all of this?" he asked, still in disbelief that she could make all these dishes.
"Of course, I made them myself!" Tian Xingyun nodded with a squinting smile.
She sat down across from him.
"You’re not going to poison me, are you?" Huo Shaohua raised an eyebrow. Even if she made them,
they must taste terrible. What good food could a woman from a small village make?
"I wouldn’t murder my husband." Tian Xingyun laughed, picked up her chopsticks, and ate a bite herself to prove it to him.
Huo Shaohua watched her eat, then looked at the dishes and hesitated for a few seconds before picking up his chopsticks to try a piece.
He didn’t really want to eat food she made, but the aroma was too tempting to resist!
"How does it taste?" Tian Xingyun asked expectantly, yet nervously.
This was the first time she had cooked for a man, and that man was her husband.
As the dish entered his mouth, he chewed a few times, his eyes flashing with unbelievable surprise.
But he hid it well, and she couldn’t tell.
"It’s okay, edible." Saying this, he started to pick up more food to eat.
Actually, it tasted pretty good...
"Then eat up." Tian Xingyun smiled, reassured that it wasn’t bad.
If he had said it was awful, the plan would have fallen apart!
Huo Shaohua ate two bowls of rice, and half of the dishes were gone.
The rest was finished by Tian Xingyun!
After the meal, he took a walk in the garden, feeling extremely full!
It was all this woman’s fault; the food she made was so good.
He couldn’t help but eat more, and now he felt a bit uncomfortable.
Looks like he had to go for a run to digest.
"Honey, have some fruit!" Tian Xingyun approached with a plate of fruit, smiling.
"Wait a minute!" Huo Shaohua raised his hand to stop her from coming closer.
"What’s wrong?" Tian Xingyun stopped in her tracks, blinking at him with a puzzled look.
"What’s your agenda? It’s impossible you’re just cooking for me without any reason."
"Cooking for my husband is my responsibility as a wife, there’s no ulterior motive!" Tian Xingyun shook her head in denial.
