Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 635: Can’t Waste A Single Drop

It was wrong to say that Lu Yi was not a smooth-talker as he was speaking so well right now. Besides, his words were completely genuine and came from the bottom of his heart. Albeit unrefined and awkward, his sincere speech was cherished.

“My husband has such sweet tongue,” Yan Huan pulled Lu Yi closer and pecked him on his cheek, “Here’s a reward for you.”

Lu Yi raised his brows. Am I being sweet? I don’t think so. Lu Yi was never good with words. He was merely being honest with his thoughts.

“Come on. Let’s go home.”

With his notebook in one hand, Lu Yi tightly clasped Yan Huan’s delicate hand with his other hand, as though he refused to ever let go of her.

We will walk hand in hand.

Till death do us part.

Lu Yi opened the car door and placed his notebook into the car. Yan Huan followed right behind him and hauled herself into the passenger seat. She grabbed the bag of snacks that was kept inside the car and was about to put the food into her mouth when Lu Yi stopped her by pulling her hand.

“You haven’t washed your hands yet.”

“Yup,” Yan Huan winked, “Your baby girl forgot to wash her hands.”

Expressionlessly, Lu Yi produced a bag of antibacterial wipes and pulled out a sheet. “Come here, baby. It’s time to wipe your hands.”

Apparently, he was joking. Unfortunately, he was born with a sombre face, making his joke a complete failure.

Lu Yi was not born with good humor. He could turn an extremely funny joke into a boring tale. Normally, people would put on a lively performance as they made comical statements. However, he would always jest monotonously. Worse, he never bothered to put on a smile.

With his straight face, everyone was swamped by pure awkwardness. None of them was able to laugh at his so-called jokes.

With the napkin, he carefully wiped Yan Huan’s fingers. “Done. you can eat now.”

Yan Huan picked up the snack as she was finally allowed to eat. “Oh, yeah,” she suddenly recalled, “Aunty is not around today and we have to cook for ourselves. What do you want to eat? We have all the ingredients.”

“Do we still have dumplings at home?”

Lu Yi’s mind still lingered on the dumplings he had for lunch. It was so delicious that he would never get sick of them.

“Yes, I’ve made a lot of dumplings and kept them in the freezer.” It was not an easy task to make the dumplings. She had to put in a lot of effort just to peel the prawns. Naturally, she prepared extra dumplings and stored them so that they could easily reheat the dumplings whenever they got hungry.

“Let’s have dumplings then.”

Lu Yi was not specifically craving for any other food at this moment. He only wanted to eat Yan Huan’s homemade dumplings. He was more than willing to have it again tomorrow and would even happily eat it for 10 consecutive days.

“Sure.”

Yan Huan munched on another mouthful of snacks. She was feeling energetic after her nap. With her current condition, she reckoned that she could easily stay awake till midnight.

Before long, they were home. The night was still early. It was barely six o’clock in the evening.

Lu Yi made a beeline for the shower. Sea City’s weather was rather humid during the summer. Most of the time, he was either covered in sweat or grease and he had to bathe more than once on some days.

Yan Huan put on her apron and removed the frozen dumplings from the refrigerator. She wanted to heat them up now so that Lu Yi could enjoy them immediately after his shower.

However, she thought that it would be too plain and bland to just boil the dumplings. Although they were not fussy about food, they should be able to indulge in delicious food as they were at home.

She started by cooking some of the dumplings in spicy and sour soup. Then, she made some potstickers and then fried the remaining dumplings. She made a total of three different dishes with the dumplings.

The same dumplings now carried three distinctive tastes. For her, she preferred the one that was cooked in spicy and sour soup. However, she was unsure about Lu Yi’s preference. She planned to observe Lu Yi as he ate, find out his favorite dish and cook it again tomorrow. If he had no preference and was happy with all three varieties, then she would cook all three again tomorrow as she did not find cooking troublesome at all.

Alright, that’s my plan.

When Lu Yi came out of the shower and saw the three different types of dumplings on the table, he was reminded of how thoughtful and lovely Huanhuan was. He was very grateful to have married her. He refused to imagine Yan Huan being someone else’s wife. If that happened, he had no idea how his life was going to be, but he was sure that he would be a very jealous man.

He took a seat by the table while Yan Huan walked toward him with a clean towel to dry his hair.

Lu Yi tried all three dishes on the table. Finally, he decided that the fried dumpling was his favorite. The skin of the dumpling was crispy yet the prawns underneath was fresh and sweet. It tasted superior compared to the plain boiled dumplings.

“Come eat with me,” Lu Yi pulled her over, trying to tempt her into eating some so that she would not be hungry.

Yan Huan ruffled his hair. Great, it’s clean and dry now.

Finally, she sat down to enjoy the piping hot soup and the dumplings. Meanwhile, Lu Yi still preferred the fried dumplings. However, he did enjoy the potstickers as well. Yan Huan did not eat much. Most of the dumplings were finished off by Lu Yi.

“I’ve had my fill,” Yan Huan chirped in satisfaction as rubbed her belly. Yes, I’ve had enough.

“You didn’t eat much,” Lu Yi was able to count the number of dumplings she had on his hands, as she ate merely five or six pieces.

“I can’t eat anymore,” Yan Huan said as she stood up and entered the kitchen. When she reappeared, she was carrying a big bowl of soup with her. Then, she placed the bowl on the table.

She heaved a faint sigh.

She had her reason which she had not mentioned explicitly yet.

“Your baby girl has to finish this,” she lifted the bowl expressionlessly. She appeared to be so pitiful when she drowned herself with the bowl of soup. Although the taste was acceptable, no one could take in so much liquid in one sitting.

“Good girl. You can’t waste a single drop. If you leave anything behind, you’ll have to drink two bowls tomorrow.”

Lu Yi pushed the bowl toward Yan Huan. He would not usually force her to eat, but she had to finish this bowl of soup as it was essential for her recuperation. He only hoped that she could suffer less during her menstruation every month. It was not good for her body to be in pain so often.

Yan Huan lifted the big bowl and gulped it down. Lu Yi reached out to stroke her hair, saying softly, “I’ll bring you out later, alright?”

“Okay!” Yan Huan instantly felt better when she heard his words. Even though she could go out everyday, but she was not able to travel far. Before this, she was restricted by her arm. Then, she was tortured by her excruciating menstrual cramps.

Now that her menstruation was over and her arm had healed, they could go out and have fun again.

Thinking about that, she felt elated and the bowl of soup instantly became tastier.
