He took a deep breath without caring about his image, and smacked his lips in a serious manner: "It tastes good. What's this?"

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Ling Yuan rubbed his sore arms, slumped down weakly in front of the eight-immortals table, and pinched his brows tiredly.

Wei Jie's attention immediately shifted to her. "Are you okay? Your eye sockets look sunken. Have you not had any rest these days?"

"Open it. I'm hungry too. I haven't had a good rest or eaten well these past few days."

When Wei Jie heard this, he could no longer sit still. He quickly opened the food box, and the smell of mutton hit him. Looking at the steaming noodles in the food box, he swallowed hard, "This tastes so special, there's no smell of mutton at all?"

There were two oversized food boxes, one contained pasta, and the other contained a few exquisite side dishes, which made Wei Jie stare in amazement.

"This is mutton stewed noodles, which is perfect for this weather. It's warming and nourishing. Try it."

Then he took out some side dishes. Wei Jie's reaction made her laugh. "Are you pretending? Why do you look like that? It's as if you've never eaten anything good?"

Wei Jie rarely looked serious and said, "You misunderstood me. Yes, my identity may tell you that there is no such thing as delicious fish and meat that I have not seen and eaten."

"But I haven't had any good food in the past two years. After all, if there's no food left, who would raise animals? I haven't seen meat for a long time."

In ancient times, things were different from modern times. Everything was fresh and nothing was easy to store. After two years, everything that could be consumed had long been consumed. How could there be any delicious fish and meat to enjoy?

Especially in today's Four Continents, a lot of food has to be supplied by the Dragon Empire. In the days of living under someone else's roof, who would care about their identity?

Just having a bite to eat is good enough, right?

Ling Yuan pursed her lips, then she remembered that there was still such a serious problem that had not been solved.

When she was cooking, she never thought about these things. No wonder she had been eating so plain food these days, whether in the city that never sleeps or in the villa. At the beginning, she thought that the ingredients might be in short supply, but she never thought that she had reached the point of being at the end of her rope.

Although her medical space has various modern things, such as canned food, they are not suitable for taking out, so she also grows some food and raises chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep and the like in her space. Because the space is large enough and there is a lot of open space, the income is quite considerable.

But due to the special existence of the space, she had no habit of taking things out. She would only use the ingredients in the space when she cooked. Now when she suddenly heard Wei Jie mention it, she realized how hateful her behavior was.

She had just slaughtered a sheep, a chicken, a duck, and a fish. She stewed the mutton into mutton soup, braised the fish, roasted the duck, and made the chicken into beggar's chicken. She also took out some dried bean curd and vermicelli from the space and soaked them in cold dishes. There were both meat and vegetarian dishes, hot and cold dishes. Two large food boxes were stuffed full, filling up the entire table.

No wonder Wei Jie's expression could be described as 'shocked'. She was clearly trying to attract hatred. If her brothers and sisters saw this, would they directly scold her for being ungrateful?

Feeling guilty, Ling Yuan didn't even hear Wei Jie asking her what yuba and vermicelli were made of. She wasn't interested in explaining it to him either, so she immediately responded casually, "Just eat it when it's ready. Why are you asking so many questions? Can't eating keep you quiet?"

Poor Wei Jie, he had never eaten these foods that looked strange but tasted very delicious. What was pitiful was that the owner was too lazy to even answer this question, and just buried his head in eating. So, was she really that hungry?

After the two of them had finished the food, Ling Yuan burped and asked Wei Jie, "Is it delicious?"

Wei Jie nodded immediately, "It's delicious. Now can you tell me what these are?"

I didn't expect that Wei Jie would be curious about everything one day. He looked at her with an innocent face. She lost her temper at the moment.

"This noodle is called stewed noodles. It has mutton stewed noodles, braised fish, beggar's chicken, roast duck, and the cold dishes include onion, black fungus, bean curd, vermicelli, cucumber and peanuts. Is that clear enough? When you are full, just deal with the leftovers. I am tired, so I will go to sleep first. You can find a place to sleep tonight."

There was a small side door in the secret room where Ling Yuan was, and inside was a small bedroom. She would rest in there whenever she was in seclusion. It was already very late today, and she had been busy for most of the night, so she was already very tired. She yawned all the way into the room, completely ignoring the person standing upright behind her.

Wei Jie looked at the table full of leftovers. In line with the principle of not wasting anything, he kept everything he could and planned to heat it up and eat it himself the next morning. This was the meal his wife had cooked herself and he could not waste it in any way.

During the cleaning process, the corners of someone's mouth were always turned up, as if he was very satisfied with the current situation of the two of them.

Although there was no further development, being able to live in harmony was already remarkable. What's more, she even cooked delicious meals today. He never knew that Ling Yuan's cooking skills were so good. How could he, Wei Jie, marry such an all-rounder?

I would probably wake up laughing even when I fell asleep.

Although he was very curious about where she got the ingredients, his wife had performed miracles more than once or twice, so perhaps these foods were no problem at all for her?

After packing up, Wei Jie returned to the couch on his own accord, completely ignoring someone's warning. Since he was looking for a place to sleep, there was nothing wrong with him sleeping on this couch, right?

Normally, I would spend the night tossing and turning all night, but tonight was exceptionally short. Not only did I sleep until dawn, but I was even woken up by Ling Yuan. This made someone who was always extremely alert blush.

Oh my God, could it be that because his wife is sleeping nearby, his sleep quality has improved because of his show-off?

Wei Jie rubbed his eyes, sat up awkwardly, and faced her roar with an embarrassed look.

Yes, it’s roaring. No one else but Ling Yuan would come out early in the morning to practice his voice.

"Who told you to sleep here? Didn't I tell you to find another place to sleep? You sleep here, and I sleep here too. If someone doesn't know this, they would think there's something going on between us. Why are you so worrying?"

Ling Yuan walked out of the stone chamber with a head of fuzzy messy hair. She originally wanted to go to the toilet to relieve the stress of the night, but she suddenly glanced at someone sleeping soundly on the couch. She was immediately startled. Not only did all the sleepiness run away, but she was so nervous that she almost wet her pants.

She was forced to go to the bathroom quickly. After coming back, she woke up Wei Jie who was sleeping soundly.

She was really shaking, and it was the kind that shook the earth and mountains, which scared Wei Jie awake at the time. After waking up, facing her bombardment, he couldn't find a chance to interrupt, so he could only sit there awkwardly and wait for her to vent.

"Ahem, you, you've gone too far. I knew I shouldn't be so polite to you. Why am I such a cheapskate? I'd rather starve you to death, ahem."

Because she was too excited, her voice rose several degrees and she even coughed for a long time. After she finally caught her breath, Wei Jie hurriedly handed her tea, looking like a good man. No matter how angry she was, he acted as if he didn't hear it and continued to do what he was supposed to do.

If Ling Yuan was not sure that the person in front of him was Wei Jie himself, he would probably slap him to death, "Are you crazy?"

Where is the promised dominance and indifference?

Why are they all gone?

Why treat her like this?

She is not used to it, okay?

"Ahem, can you please stop doing this? This is not your style, and this is not what you should do. Who are you, Wei Jie? Who is Wei Jie? You are the fighting spirit of your Siyou country. Would your parents allow you to be beaten and scolded like this?"

Ling Yuan put down the teacup and stared at Wei Jie seriously. Besides helplessness, there was more disapproval in her eyes.

But Wei Jie showed no intention of changing, and even pushed the tea in front of her in a serious manner.

"You're so angry so early in the morning. Even if you're talking about singing, you shouldn't do that. Hurry up and drink some water to calm yourself down. As for the rest, that's my business. You don't have to worry about it. Treat me the way you want. Don't worry about me!"

"Brother, is it possible for me to not worry? This is not what you should do or say. I know what you want to do, but you will cause trouble to me. Do you understand? I don't want your future to be in vain!"

"But, this is my own choice. If it causes you trouble, then I will lower my presence. I will try not to cause you any trouble. I will try not to embarrass you. You don't have to cook for me anymore. I will find a way to solve it myself. Is that ok?"

Ling Yuan: ...

So what she said for a long time was just a rebuttal?

"Wei Jie, I know you understand what I mean, and you also know what I want to express. A man's ambitions should be far-reaching and should not be limited to women. A man has gold under his knees, and he should not speak softly like this. This is not the Wei Jie I know, nor is it the Wei Jie I admire."

"If you continue like this, it might change my mind about you."

When Ling Yuan saw that he wanted to interrupt, she immediately said the last harsh words, "If you try to act like a big shot again, I will directly eliminate your qualifications and leave you no reason to stay by my side."

Pretend, I let you pretend, let's see if you dare to be so soft again!

Wei Jie: ...

They say a woman's heart is as unfathomable as the sea. Now he finally understands.

In the past, he didn't cherish her well, and he always treated her coldly. At that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so. He even thought that her efforts were justified and were her duties as the Princess of Phoenix. It was what they had agreed on at the beginning. If you can't hold on, it's your problem, not his!

So, the final result was that both of them failed to even reach the most basic communication standard. If not for this, how could she have accepted the patient who made him regret his whole life but also filled him with entanglement and helplessness without any explanation?

Because she didn't trust him, he never expressed his gratitude and trust in her. In the end, there were many misunderstandings between the two of them, and she even left with resentment.

Who else could understand the despair he felt at that time except himself?

If it weren't for that person's "three years later", he would have no idea how to live the rest of his life. It was he who gave him hope, the courage to live, and a goal to work towards.

During these three years, he had sworn countless times that if he could see her again, he would work harder to be good to her, be true to her, and obey her. He just wanted to make it up to her and love her well.

But why is the result now different from what he imagined?

He had clearly tried very hard, so why didn't she realize his love for her, but instead thought that such a man was too "soft"?

It even caused her invisible pressure. This result completely interrupted his enthusiasm!

If it wasn't such a personal matter that he didn't want to talk about, he would really like to find someone to consult.

"Yuan'er, I just want to be good to you, I just want to be good to you, that's all!"

After holding it in for a long time, Wei Jie finally uttered these words. Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Ling Yuan was as innocent as it could be.

Seeing this, Ling Yuan felt like countless thoughts were whizzing through her mind!
