Leng Linli leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching Yan Zhi's busy yet well-controlled figure, somewhat lost in thought.
At this moment, she exuded a relaxed aura of a virtuous wife and loving mother, which made Leng Linli feel inexplicably at ease.
"I'm very hungry," Leng Linli replied calmly, his voice slightly hoarse, as relaxed as if he had just woken up.
He was indeed very hungry...
This is the first time since we got married that I haven't touched her for such a long time.
The more he looked at her, the more his gaze burned.
Yan Zhi saw that Leng Linli was staring at her with longing in his eyes, and assumed that he was too hungry and was longing for the ribs.
Yan Zhi glanced subconsciously at the large clock hanging on the living room wall. It was around noon. Leng Linli had only eaten an egg that morning, so it was no wonder he was hungry now.
Although Grandma has good teeth, she is getting old, so the ribs need to be stewed until they are very tender.
Yan Zhi asked somewhat awkwardly, "Would you like to try a piece first?"
Leng Linli nodded, a gentle look in his eyes: "Okay."
Yan Zhi scooped out a few pieces of pork ribs and handed them to Leng Linli.
Leng Linli glanced at the steaming pork ribs in the bowl, a warmth appearing in his eyes. He didn't touch his chopsticks, but gently pulled Yan Zhi's arm over.
Yan Zhi instinctively stepped back.
Her wrist was still gripped tightly, and a cold, sharp, low, and hoarse voice came: "Don't refuse me."
"Bai...uh..." Lian was...
Before Yan Zhi could finish speaking, Leng Linli had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him.
He was very tall, and Yan Zhi was practically lying on his chest. The two were very close, their breaths mingling together.
Yan Zhi slightly raised her head, wanting to create some distance.
Their eyes met, and a burning light flashed in his cold, sharp, and dark eyes. Yan Zhi could clearly see the emotions in his eyes.
That is... desire.
Yan Zhi tried to push him away, but Leng Linli held her waist and pinned her down. Her strength was no match for Leng Linli's, and his arms were like iron welded together, locking her firmly in place.
Yan Zhi immediately made a decision: she would sign up for a wrestling class tomorrow!
"Mr. Leng, let me go!" Yan Zhi's voice was still relatively gentle.
Leng Linli not only didn't let go, but instead hugged her even tighter, his lips close to Yan Zhi's ear, his voice low and husky: "Just for a little while."
The hot breath brushed against Yan Zhi's ear. Yan Zhi turned her head away, trying to widen the distance between her cold, sharp lips and her ear.
"I don't want to!" Yan Zhi insisted.
If Bai Lian sees this later, she'll come looking for trouble again, and Yan Zhi doesn't want to cause herself any unnecessary trouble.
Bai Lian is in the old house. Why is Leng Linli not hugging Bai Lian, but running to the kitchen to hug her?
Yan Zhi's deliberate act of keeping her distance and turning her head away really hurt Leng Linli's heart.
He didn't press Yan Zhi any further, coldly and ruthlessly releasing her. Standing beside her, he looked down at her as if nothing had happened. He casually picked up the ribs Yan Zhi had just retrieved, took a bite, and said, "Very delicious."
Yan Zhi scooped out a few more pieces of pork ribs and put them into the bowl. She then shoved the bowl into Leng Linli's hands and told him to shoo him away, "If you like it, take it to the living room and eat it slowly. Dinner can be served in about ten minutes."
Leng Linli looked at the ribs in the bowl, frowning unhappily. He wasn't stupid; he could see Yan Zhi's resistance towards him.
A sudden pain shot through his heart, as if it had been squeezed hard. Yan Zhi was so resistant to him now, what should he do?
"Mr. Leng, please leave." Yan Zhi gave him the order to leave.
A hint of helplessness flashed in his cold, deep eyes as he looked at Yan Zhi's stubborn face. In the end, he said nothing and turned to leave the kitchen.
Seeing Leng Linli leave, Yan Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her gaze fell on the stove, but lingered there for a long time.
On the stove, the bowl she had just shoved into Leng Linli's hands was now placed on top.
Aren't you hungry?
Why didn't you take the ribs out when you left?
Or was he not hungry at all, and was just playing with her?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, no matter what Leng Linli's reasons were.
Overthinking only creates more problems.
Once you've figured it out, all the answers are there.
Anything that bothers her is a burden, and Yan Zhi resolutely put the little episode she had just experienced behind her back.
Ten minutes later, the table was filled with a delicious aroma, and the soup was bubbling away.
After serving everyone a bowl of pork ribs, Yan Zhi put the greens into the pot.
The aroma of the pork ribs tempted people's appetites, and Grandma Leng couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She looked at Yan Zhi with even more kindness in her eyes: "You are the best at taking care of people."
Yan Zhi smiled gently, looking rather obedient: "Grandma, please try it, is it the same taste as before?"
"Okay!" Grandma Leng nodded with a smile.
Grandma Leng picked up a piece of pork rib, chewed it slowly, and found it to be very delicious. The meat was tender and soft, just right for an elderly woman like her. It wasn't too hard or too soft.
It tasted the same as the food she had when she was temporarily staying at Yan Zhi's rented room.
Grandma Leng picked up another piece, her eyes narrowed into slits, and a happy expression appeared on her face: "It still tastes the same as before."
"I'm glad you like it." Yan Zhi smiled and put some vegetables on Grandma Leng's plate. Grandma is getting old now, so she still needs to control the amount of meat she eats. Eating too much at once can easily cause indigestion.
Grandma Leng looked at Yan Zhi, her heart filled with emotion. This child is truly wonderful.
The fact that the Leng family was able to marry her is truly a blessing from their ancestors.
Grandma Leng heard many people say that Yan Zhi's obedience was just to please her and to get the Leng family's wealth. But was it really just flattery? She had lived most of her life, so how could she not tell?
That day, Grandma Leng went to the company to visit her beloved grandson who had been busy for several days and hadn't been home. When she was almost at Leng's company, she suddenly experienced severe chest pain. The pain was so bad that she couldn't even open the nitroglycerin she had brought in her bag to take it.
