Yun Zheng and Zhou Yu Shen were childhood sweethearts with an engagement since young. As the wedding day approached, Yun Zheng was revealed to be a fake young lady. The Zhou family wanted to replac...
Chapter 38 Madam still loves me~
After a while, the hot pot and dishes were served, and the waiter placed the bright red pot bottom on the induction cooker.
As the temperature rises, the aroma of butter mixed with the spicy scent of chili peppers hits you.
Fu Linghe only felt a stinging pain in his nose. He glanced at Yun Zheng secretly and saw that she looked normal, even a little expectant.
He could only secretly clench his fists and cheer himself up.
Yun Zheng skillfully placed the tripe into the pot. After a few stirs, the tripe was coated with the red oil broth. She put it in her mouth and chewed it contentedly, looking at Fu Linghe provocatively, "Mr. Fu, why don't you pick up your chopsticks? This is the place you chose."
Fu Linghe forced a stiff smile, picked up a piece of beef, and blanched it in the pan for a while. The beef was instantly covered with red oil.
He put it into his mouth nervously, and the next second, the little bit of red oil was like a sharp needle, pricking the tip of his tongue and making it numb.
A heat spread from the tip of his tongue to his entire mouth. His throat felt like it was on fire, and his eyes turned red uncontrollably.
"How is it, Mr. Fu? Is this slightly spicy dish to your taste?" Yun Zheng asked knowingly, with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
Fu Linghe gritted his teeth and responded vaguely, "Yeah, not bad."
But beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.
He quickly picked up the water cup beside him and took a few gulps, trying to relieve the deadly spiciness.
Yun Zheng looked at his miserable appearance and couldn't bear it after all. "If you can't finish it, don't be so stubborn. Order a shabu-shabu hotpot."
Fu Linghe shook his head stubbornly, "No, I can do it."
In order to divert his attention, he began to pick up food for Yun Zheng. Seeing Yun Zheng eating happily, he felt that the torture on his tongue did not seem so unbearable.
"If you can't eat spicy food, there's no need to force yourself."
Yun Zheng knew very well that someone was just being stubborn, so she smiled helplessly and shook her head, then asked the waiter to change the pot base to a double-flavored hotpot.
Fu Linghe changed his soup base to mushroom soup, and she changed hers to medium spicy.
Then he asked the waiter to bring Fu Linghe a glass of milk to help him relieve the spiciness.
Although he had just taken a bite of beef, it was obvious that his mouth was a little red and swollen from the spiciness, and he spoke with a hint of heat.
Yun Zheng specifically asked the waiter to serve the milk quickly, so the milk was delivered before their shuangyang hotpot base was served.
"Hurry up and drink some milk, it can relieve the spiciness." Yun Zheng looked at Fu Linghe, whose face was already red and warm from the spiciness, and urged him hurriedly.
Fu Linghe picked up the milk on the table and took a big gulp, and the burning sensation in his mouth subsided slightly.
Fu Linghe put down the cup, took a long breath, and looked at Yun Zheng with eyes full of gratitude, "Madam still cares about me."
Yun Zheng rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense!"
After a while, the double-boiled hotpot was served, with the white mushroom soup and the red medium-spicy soup clearly separated.
Fu Linghe looked at the pot of red soup and swallowed with lingering fear.
During the following meal time, the atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed.
Fu Linghe carefully took out the ingredients from the mushroom soup pot, and occasionally tried to pick up a chopstick from Yun Zheng's medium-spicy pot to taste it.
Although he gasped every time because of the spiciness, he still persevered in trying.
Yun Zheng had never met anyone as stubborn as him. He insisted on trying spicy food even though he knew he couldn't eat it.
"If you're not used to spicy food, don't try it. Just eat your mushroom soup pot. Be careful not to overwhelm your stomach."
Although Fu Linghe did not have stomach problems, his daily diet was light. Eating such spicy food all of a sudden was undoubtedly a "torture" for his stomach.
Fu Linghe still wanted to practice his ability to eat spicy food, but he didn't dare to act on his own and disobey his wife.
I had no choice but to lower my head and eat the food in the mushroom soup pot.
Although Yun Zheng can eat spicy food, the medium spiciness in this restaurant is the limit of spiciness she can accept.
Fu Linghe didn't eat much, but seeing Yun Zheng eating happily, he felt full too.
He handed Yun Zheng tissues and prepared lemonade for her. The most important thing was to make his wife happy.
Seeing Yun Zheng's cheeks flushed and her nose slightly sweaty while eating, Fu Linghe's mood also became cheerful.
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." Fu Linghe said gently, his eyes full of pampering.
Yun Zheng raised her head and glanced at him. There was a little red oil on the corner of her mouth, and she looked playful and cute.
Fu Linghe couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a tissue.
Yun Zheng was slightly startled, a blush appearing on her face. She mumbled "thank you," then lowered her head and continued eating.
After she put the last piece of marbled beef in her bowl into her mouth, she put down her chopsticks and leaned back in her chair with satisfaction, "I'm so full~"
Fu Linghe just looked at her with eyes full of doting, waiting patiently without urging her.
After resting in the box for half an hour, the two were about to leave.
Yun Zheng's cell phone, which was lying upside down on the dining table, suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and took a look. When she saw the caller ID clearly showed the note of 'fiancé', her face instantly darkened and the phone in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Zhou Yushen had used her phone to change this note for him, but she forgot to change it... no, it should be said that she forgot to block him.
They no longer have any relationship now.
Seeing Yun Zheng staring at her phone in a daze, Fu Linghe suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
His eyes were fixed on the phone in Yun Zheng's hand, and there was a hint of nervousness in his tone, "Why don't you answer the phone?"
Yun Zheng's thoughts returned. She looked up at Fu Linghe, a faint smile on her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes, mixed with a hint of bitterness, "It must be a wrong number."
After saying that, she hung up the phone directly and neatly, turned off the screen of the phone and put it in her bag.
Fu Linghe watched her movements and frowned slightly. In fact, from Yun Zheng's expression just now, he had already guessed who the call was from.
But Yun Zheng didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't mention it.
Fu Linghe looked at Yun Zheng, who was not in a good mood, suppressed his heartache, adjusted his mood, and said with a faint smile, "Let's go, I'll take you for a walk."
Although Yun Zheng was not interested, she did not want to refuse his kindness, so she nodded.
Fu Linghe quickly stood up and walked to her side, picking up her bag before Yun Zheng.
Seeing that Yun Zheng did not reject his action, Fu Linghe became more aggressive and reached out to hold her slightly cold little hand.
It was still early, so Fu Linghe didn't rush to take her back. He held her hand and walked slowly in the mall.
After walking around for a while, seeing that Yun Zheng was still not in high spirits, Fu Linghe didn't force her anymore and planned to take her back to Tanxi Garden.
At first, Yun Zheng thought she was going to Fu Group, so she sat obediently in the passenger seat. But when she came to her senses, she realized that this was the way back to Tanxiyuan.
