Meng Yanzhi in her previous life jumped into the water to save the Crown Prince, which resulted in her being unable to bear children for the rest of her life. However, she was robbed of the positio...
Chapter 348 Even the Emperor Gets Jealous!
Zhao Bailu smiled gently at Meng Yanzhi's adorable appearance, and then said directly, "Yes, we are all very, very good people, which is why we are such good friends. Yanzhi, actually I don't like the capital either. I'm really happy that we're being transferred here this time!"
Seeing Zhao Bailu's delighted expression, Meng Yanzhi's lips curled up slightly, and she said softly, "Yes, you're right. We're finally living the life we love through our own efforts. Bailu, you see, God has been very kind to us, hasn't He?"
"Yes, God has been very good to me. I have you and him, and I am content!"
When the marriage was mentioned before, Zhao Bailu's face was full of reluctance, but now only sweetness and affection remain.
Seeing Zhao Bailu's expression, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly before asking, "Little girl, do you really like him now?"
"Oh dear, I don't really know what's going on. I used to get angry whenever I saw this person, but I never expected him to be so nice to me. The longer it goes on, the more I like him!"
"You don't know, he's really good to me, he's very obedient to me, even when it comes to the children, he listens to me. I can't bear to let him down, and I can't help but like him!"
Zhao Bailu used to be very carefree, but now she has learned to be gentle and delicate. It is clear that Gu Hanyue truly loves her and has taken very good care of her.
They were talking animatedly, and everyone outside was also having a good time.
Gu Hanyue felt somewhat awkward sitting next to Xiao Xingyuan, after all, he was once the emperor.
But after exchanging a few words, Gu Hanyue discovered that Xiao Xingyuan seemed to have become a completely different person, entirely unlike before!
Soon, Meng Yanzhi had prepared a large table of food and invited everyone to eat!
"You've come at the perfect time. I've been looking into our restaurant's menu lately. You all need to eat well, and be sure to give me feedback after you're done!"
Meng Yanzhi looked at everyone with a smile.
"These are all menu items that I've modified!"
Everyone's mouths watered at the sight of the food on the table, especially Zhao Bailu, who picked up her chopsticks almost without hesitation and began to eat heartily. The moment the food entered her mouth, Zhao Bailu was dumbfounded, staring at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "This, this, this is so delicious! It's even better than what we ate in the imperial kitchen before! Meng Yanzhi, you're amazing!"
"Is it really delicious?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Zhao Bailu with a smile and smiled gently: "If you like it, then eat more! But after you finish eating, you have to tell me exactly what's delicious and how it's delicious."
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, everyone became less reserved and started eating heartily. To be honest, this was the first time Gu Hanyue had eaten Meng Yanzhi's cooking. Before, he had only heard Zhao Bailu say that the food was delicious, but now that he had eaten it himself, he finally understood that Zhao Bailu was not exaggerating, and could even be said to have been very modest.
"Meng Yanzhi, I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life. Will you cook for me for the rest of my life?" Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with expectant eyes.
Seeing her wife's pathetic state, Gu Hanyue was both amused and exasperated. She tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "If you like, we can go there often after the restaurant opens."
"I don't care, I want to eat what Rouge makes!" Zhao Bailu looked at Gu Hanyue very seriously: "I told you before that Rouge's cooking is delicious, now you should believe me, right? Let me tell you, Rouge's cooking is the best in the world!"
Meng Yanzhi knew she was a good cook, but hearing Zhao Bailu say that made her laugh out loud. She blushed a little embarrassedly and whispered, "You must never say that again. It wouldn't be good if someone overheard you!"
"What's wrong with that? It's delicious, so let them all be as good as you!"
"I love you so much, Rouge. If I were a man, I would spend my whole life with you. I don't want anyone else!"
Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi very seriously; if it weren't for the table separating them, they probably would have kissed each other.
Seeing Zhao Bailu's words getting more and more outrageous, Gu Hanyue, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear it any longer and tugged at her arm. Then she looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a face full of apology: "I'm sorry, my wife is still too naughty."
Although he was blaming Zhao Bailu, his words carried a hint of doting affection.
Watching the interaction between the two, Meng Yanzhi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, they're still too mischievous."
After the meal, even though Zhao Bailu was reluctant to leave, she had no choice but to go back with Meng Yanzhi to tidy up the house. Before leaving, she even packed up all the snacks that Meng Yanzhi had made and took them with her.
Seeing Zhao Bailu's happy expression, Xiao Xingyuan felt a pang of jealousy. He put his arm around Meng Yanzhi's waist, snorted, and muttered, "Looks like we're going to have another freeloader in our family?"
"My family owns a restaurant, what's there to be afraid of?"
"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with curious, curved eyes.
"Zhao Bailu is a girl, why are you jealous?"
"Xiao Xingyuan, have you noticed that you're becoming more and more petty?"
Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and gently pinched him.
Xiao Xingyuan felt awkward for a moment and said in a low voice, "I just hope that our lives only consist of each other. This Zhao Bailu, she was always hanging around you when we were in the capital. Now that we've both come to the Northwest, she still came after us. Ugh!"
This guy...
Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but smile at Xiao Xingyuan's childish behavior. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him, saying, "No matter how many people are around me, you are the only one in my heart, only you!"
These words immediately appeased Xiao Xingyuan.
Xiao Xingyuan looked at Meng Yanzhi with a smile and whispered, "Really? Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"
"Xiao Xingyuan, I love you."
Meng Yanzhi pressed her face against Xiao Xingyuan's chest and softly expressed her love.
Xiao Xingyuan was overjoyed. He hugged Meng Yanzhi and kissed her passionately, and the room quickly became lively.
