Yu Yue replied: "..."
His lips twitched slightly.
She doesn't want to appear imposing or domineering, okay?
She hopes to show her gentle and beautiful side.
Xie Yan seemed to have seen through Yu Yuehui's little thoughts, and quickly nodded seriously, explaining with a smile, "Yes, wife, I think you look very elegant in this dress. You have the kind of elegance that you only see on TV, like a female soldier, heroic and graceful, yet with a gentle charm, which is particularly captivating."
These words struck a chord with Yu Yue. Her eyes widened in surprise and delight, sparkling with anticipation. She looked at Xie Yan and asked eagerly, "Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Xie Yan chuckled and playfully pinched Yu Yuehui's nose, nodding firmly, "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"
"If you don't believe me, ask Chaochao."
Upon hearing this, Chaochao immediately nodded vigorously like a little adult, clapping her little hands and saying loudly in her childish voice, "Beautiful, beautiful, very beautiful, Mommy, you are the most beautiful mommy in the whole world."
As she spoke, she was still jumping around excitedly, looking as happy as if she were the one wearing the beautiful clothes.
Her little face was beaming with an innocent smile, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and her clear laughter echoed throughout the room.
When it was time to go home, Yu Yuehui put on her new clothes. She was very hot-tempered and not afraid of the cold at all. In addition, she was wearing a turtleneck sweater underneath, so she felt even less cold.
She was also carrying a large bag of things given to her by Zhang Linghui, mostly Chaochao's clothes.
Chaochao, like an adorable little guard, held Tongtong's hand tightly, who was wearing the same new cotton-padded coat as her. At this moment, Tongtong looked like a rosy little dumpling. She was still a little unsteady on her feet, so Yu Yuehui also held her hand.
On the other side, Xie Yan was holding Chao Chao's hand, and from a distance, they looked like a family of four.
Every now and then, Chaochao would look up at her mother's beautiful new clothes, then at her own and Tongtong's new cotton-padded coats, her face full of happiness and satisfaction.
Bathed in sunlight, their shadows stretched long, the family walked slowly towards their home in a warm and beautiful atmosphere.
Because Gu Bin and his family had just returned from their journey and were exhausted, they decided to have dinner at Xie Yan's house.
After Zhang Linghui finished getting ready, she and Gu Bin rushed over, and they could smell the aroma of food from afar.
Zhang Linghui took a deep, greedy breath, "Ah~, Yueyue's cooking is still the best! Just smell this, I feel like I could eat three big bowls tonight."
Gu Bin felt the same way. He usually enjoyed eating Yu Yuehui's cooking, not to mention that he had just eaten two sets of train meals on the train.
He felt he could eat eight large bowls of food, but of course, that was just wishful thinking. If he actually ate eight large bowls, he was afraid Xie Yan would kick him out.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the aroma of food became even stronger, and Zhang Linghui and Gu Bin unconsciously quickened their pace, especially Zhang Linghui, who practically ran inside.
Yu Yuehui was busy in the kitchen. When she saw them coming over, she smiled warmly and said, "Come in and sit down. I'll make the noodles right away. Once they're cooked, we can start eating."
The water was already boiling; we were just waiting for them to come and cook the noodles.
As she spoke, Yu Yuehui lifted the curtain covering the noodles, revealing a board of hand-pulled noodles. On the stove next to it were two large bowls of carefully stir-fried toppings.
One bowl contains a sauce made with green beans, eggplant, and minced meat. Its color is enticing, with bright red chilies dotting the surface, exuding a rich and spicy aroma. This is specially prepared for adults. The other bowl contains a sauce made with shiitake mushrooms and diced meat. It is fragrant and has no spiciness from the chilies. The delicate diced meat and diced shiitake mushrooms are perfectly matched. This is specially made for the two children.
When Zhang Linghui saw the two large bowls of sauce, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said excitedly, "Waaah, Sister Yueyue, you are simply the best sister in the world! When I was in Beijing, I craved this sauce day and night. I never thought we would actually be on the same wavelength."
Xie Yan, who was carrying bowls and chopsticks and about to enter the house, happened to hear this. She glanced at her sideways, and there were a couple of unhappy faces.
In his heart, telepathy was something that belonged exclusively to him and his wife; how could Zhang Linghui possibly join in?
So he immediately chimed in, saying in a very casual tone, "Don't you know? Dumplings before getting on the train, noodles after getting off. When we come back from a long trip, we always make this."
The implication was that Zhang Linghui shouldn't be presumptuous.
Yu Yuehui didn't notice that Xie Yan's tone was a bit off, and even nodded with a smile, agreeing, "Yes! Yes! That's always been the case."
Xie Yan was delighted and gave Zhang Linghui a smug look.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Linghui felt a little annoyed and glared at Xie Yan, thinking that this guy was really getting in the way.
But she quickly put on a cheerful expression and turned to Yuehui, saying, "Oh my! I didn't know there was such a saying. I thought it was something Sister Yueyue made especially for me!"
Yu Yuehui subconsciously replied, "It was made especially for you!"
This welcome dinner for them was specially prepared for them.
Zhang Linghui immediately beamed with joy, and deliberately glanced at Xie Yan with a grin, her eyes seeming to say, "See? Sister Yueyue is the best to me."
Upon seeing this, Xie Yan felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, as if he had been openly provoked.
He was furious. Just then, he saw Gu Bin sitting leisurely next to him, waiting for his meal. He kicked him and said irritably, "You haven't even brought Tongtong's little spoon. How dare you, as her father, wait here while I go get it?"
Gu Bin was happily immersed in the rich aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, already imagining the scene of enjoying the meal later.
Suddenly, he was kicked in the calf. "Ouch!" he cried out in pain. He was even angrier when he saw who had kicked him.
He's sitting here peacefully, what did he do to deserve this?
Moreover, the kick was both fierce and sudden, and Gu Bin was quite certain that it was driven by personal grudges.
"Are you sick? Why did you kick me like that? Can't you talk things out?" Gu Bin complained, rubbing his leg which was still sore from the kick.
Xie Yan didn't want to talk to Gu Bin anymore. She sat there angrily, her eyes wide like copper bells, staring at him fiercely.
A good-for-nothing who can't control his wife.
Gu Bin felt uneasy under his gaze, and stood up helplessly, rubbing his leg as he muttered, "This is really inexplicable, this guy is definitely sick."
Then he turned and walked toward the kitchen to get a spoon, muttering to himself as he went, "I'm a magnanimous person, I won't stoop to the level of this lunatic."
