Chapter 265: Qi Yihan Becoming A Househusband

The two of them returned to their rented courtyard to find that all the things Qi Yihan ordered had arrived.

Rolling up her sleeves, Tang Li was about to start preparing dinner when she was stopped by Qi Yihan.

He said, “I’ll cook.”

After saying that, he took a cookbook from the table and started reading it.

Tang Li watched as he fixed his eyes at the cookbook with a serious expression. The serious look on his face made the corners of her lips curl up subconsciously. She said, “How about I cook tonight and you tomorrow so that you have a night to read this book.”

Qi Yihan said seriously, “No. From now on, I’ll cook.”

Then, he added, “I won’t let my wife cook.”

Hearing that, Tang Li smiled until her mouth couldn’t get any wider.

Since her man said so, she didn’t mind sitting back and enjoying the service.

Qi Yihan quickly flipped through the book and handed the book to Tang Li. He then went to the kitchen to look at the ingredients.

Tang Li followed behind him with the book in hand.

While putting vegetables and fruits on the chopping board, Qi Yihan said, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

With that, he took the fruit out of the bag and washed it.

Tang Li glanced at the ingredients on the chopping board and said as she flipped through the book, “I want to eat fish-flavored shredded pork, braised eggplant, sweet and sour fish, braised lotus rootlets, and winter melon rib soup.”

This was Qi Yihan’s first time cooking, so Tang Li naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for him. After ordering four simple dishes and a soup, she put the book aside to help him wash the vegetables.

Qi Yihan had already washed the fruits and placed them on a plate before passing it to her. “Have some fruit first. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Tang Li took the fruit and leaned against the side to watch him wash the rice and vegetables.

Qi Yihan was serious in everything he did. When he was washing and cutting the vegetables, he looked like he was completing a task.

Occasionally, she would feed him some fruit.

Qi Yihan prepared all the ingredients before starting.

Of course, before he started cooking, he asked Tang Li to tell him how many ingredients were needed for each dish.

For every dish that was prepared, he would give it a taste first. If he thought it was alright, he would give it to Tang Li.

Of the four stir-fry dishes, he had done three successfully. Only the braised eggplant had some flaws.

When he was done cooking the braised eggplant, he took a bite. Tang Li was waiting impatiently. He put down his chopsticks and said, “This dish is screwed up. Don’t try it.”

“It’s alright, let me try it.”

“No, be good.”

After saying that, Qi Yihan handed the bowls and chopsticks to her. “We can start dinner now.”

Tang Li had no choice but to go out with the bowls and chopsticks.

She wanted to wait for him to place the braised eggplant on the table before eating, but she didn’t expect Qi Yihan to not bring the dish out.

Tang Li was still looking at him, wanting to taste how bad the food he said was.

Qi Yihan filled up her bowl with rice and said, “I’ll make braised eggplants again tomorrow. There will only be a few dishes tonight. If you want, we can go to the nearby night market after dinner. I heard there are many delicacies there.”

Tang Li definitely wanted to. She quickly nodded and said, “Alright.”

Qi Yihan knew that Tang Li wanted to pay a visit to the market, so he didn’t prepare a lot of food tonight. After the two of them finished eating, Qi Yihan put the dishes back into the kitchen and washed them.

Tang Li did not do anything the entire time.

She only stood behind him and watched him work.

After looking at him for a while, she commented, “You should wear an apron when you’re cooking. That way, you’ll look like a househusband. Hehe ~”

Qi Yihan turned to look at her and actually nodded in agreement.

After cleaning up the kitchen, he washed his hands and walked over.

Tang Li hugged his neck and kissed him on the lips. She smiled and said, “Honey, thank you for your hard work.”

Qi Yihan wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her on the ear twice. Then he deliberately said in a low and bewitching voice, “If you want to thank me, work harder tonight.”

As expected, the moment he said that, Tang Li’s ears turned red.

“I’m not as strong as you. I’ll work hard at the start, and I still have to rely on you in the end,” said Tang Li glibly.

Qi Yihan hugged her tightly and gently bit her red earlobe. He panted, saying, “Little naughty girl, you don’t want to go out and shop at the night market anymore, do you? If you keep talking to me like that, I’ll make you paralyze in bed.”

Being bitten, Tang Li felt her entire body go numb. Her body instantly went limp in her arms.

Sensing that he had a reaction, she stopped talking. “I want to go to the night market. I want to eat local delicacies.”

Qi Yihan hugged her for a while and only let go of her after he restrained his desire.

The two of them got changed and walked out together.

The old district and the new district were separated by an artificial river. The night market was located by the river.

When Tang Li arrived, the night market was already open. People were everywhere, and there were all kinds of vendors hawking. From time to time, children would walk past, laughing and playing. Coupled with the sound of bargaining, it was extremely lively.

Most of the snacks here were spicy, Dan Dan Noodles, Wolf Tooth Potato, Sugar Oil Fruit, tofu pudding, and pig intestines… As soon as the two of them walked into the market, Tang Li started eating.

If not for the fact that Qi Yihan was holding her hand, she would definitely be led astray by the food.

There were not only various delicacies in the night market, but also special shows, operas, face-changing performances, and mahjong.

Soon, the two of them walked to a teahouse. The teahouse was not filled with tea but people playing mahjong.

Curious, Tang Li pulled Qi Yihan to watch them play mahjong.

At this moment, the lady boss came over and greeted them. “Do you two want to play mahjong? The table over there is short of one.”

Looking over, she saw three women in their thirties sitting at a table.

The three women enthusiastically asked Tang Li to play with them in the local dialect.

Tang Li said, “I don’t know how to play.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’ll know once you give it a try. Besides, the luck of a newbie is the best. Maybe you can win just by playing.”

“Really?” Tang Li did not believe her.

The female boss smiled and promised, “Believe me, it’s the same for mahjong. New players are very lucky.”

Tang Li was tempted. This was definitely a place where gossip first started spreading. She tugged at Qi Yihan’s hand. “Hubby, I want to play mahjong.”

Qi Yihan would definitely not object.

The moment he nodded, the female boss ushered them over with a lively expression.

The three women sitting there looked at the two people walking over and started discussing.

“Wow, those two are really good-looking. They look like rich people too.”

“It’s good that they are rich. Let’s rip them off.”

“It seems like we have a good start tonight.”

“Let’s let her win first. Don’t scare her away from the start.”

“Don’t worry, I’m good at this.”
