A group of people who didn't get along were having a meal together, creating an awkward and oppressive atmosphere.
Huang Yaxi kept mediating, saying, "Ah Ye, try this sweet and sour pork ribs. It melts in your mouth and is so delicious."
Huang Yaxi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and gave it to Lin Ye.
Then, he put another piece on Su Xi's plate, saying, "Su Xi, you should try it too. Su Rou's cooking is really good."
"Yeah, it's so delicious!" Lele chimed in.
Su Xi took a bite and chewed it slowly in her mouth.
Su Rou looked at her expectantly, hoping to get Su Xi's evaluation.
"how?"
It was Huang Yaxi who asked the question first.
Su Xi swallowed the ribs and said in a nonchalant tone, "Barely passable, edible."
"I'm not lying, it really is delicious." Huang Yaxi ate with great gusto.
Lin also had little appetite.
He came here because Su Xi would also be there.
They didn't come to try Su Rou's cooking.
Suddenly, I heard Lele say, "Sister Su Xi's cooking is delicious too. Lele is so happy."
Lin Ye, who was about to put down his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish to taste, and then gave Su Xi a thumbs up, "Xi'er's cooking skills are as good as ever."
It's such a happy thing to have your wife praised.
Zhou Jingming, however, was dissatisfied and turned to look at Su Xi, "Do you often cook for him?"
"Not often, but Lin cooks for me more often."
In the past, when she was busy, she would often forget to eat.
Lin would bring her meals whenever he had free time.
That's why Su Rou became jealous and schemed against her.
When she has free time, she also gets together with Lin Ye.
Occasionally she cooks.
But Lin would usually help out, either by cooking while she rested and waited to eat.
Zhou Jingming's face darkened further. "From now on, I'll cook for you, but you're not allowed to eat food cooked by other men."
Huang Yaxi also felt uneasy.
They were just enthusiastically trying to lighten the mood.
He was hanging his head, looking sullen.
She knew that Lin Ye and Su Xi were close, but she never imagined that they were so close that they could freely visit each other's homes for meals.
To date.
She hasn't eaten Lin Ye's cooking yet.
Su Rou noticed Huang Yaxi's displeasure and gently took her hand, which was under the table.
This was meant to comfort her.
Huang Yaxi looked up and smiled at her with a relaxed expression.
He used his eyes to tell her that he was alright.
The meal started off relaxed, but afterwards everyone fell silent.
Afterwards, Zhou Jingming took Su Xi outside.
The way he looked, like he'd spilled a vat of vinegar, clearly showed he was still angry about what had just been said.
Su Xi stood on tiptoe and pinched the man's cheek helplessly, "Drinking too much vinegar will give you a stomachache."
Zhou Jingming pried her hands away and forcefully pinned her against the wall. "You know it will hurt, and you still make me jealous?"
"How was I supposed to know you were so petty? You got so angry over just a few meals." It was just a casual remark that ruined the whole atmosphere of the meal.
Su Xi felt somewhat guilty.
I wonder how Ya Xi and Lin Ye are doing.
She could tell that Ya-Xi was also unhappy.
"Is this just a matter of a few meals?" Zhou Jingming gritted his teeth in anger. "My wife has a male confidant. She goes to his house for meals every few days. He also comes to see you occasionally. A man and a woman alone in a room every day, what man couldn't stand that?"
"Yes, I can't stand it."
Su Xi echoed his words, even feigning anger, "If it were me, I couldn't stand it either, it's too much."
Zhou Jingming leaned closer, "You're mine. Even if you're going to cook, you can only cook for me."
"That won't do."
Su Xi refused.
"What, you want to cook for other men?" Zhou, the jealous king, had bloodshot eyes and an air of urgency that he would punish her if she didn't compromise.
Su Xi nodded. "It's possible we should do it."
"Su Xi".
Zhou Jingming gritted his teeth, "You dare to try?"
Su Xi touched her flat stomach and sighed helplessly, "Son, when you grow up, don't blame your mother for not cooking for you. This is what your father asked for."
Zhou Jingming: "..."
After Su Xi finished speaking, she added, "If you need anything in the future, ask Dad. Mom won't help you, okay?"
Zhou Jingming couldn't help but laugh, "I take care of all the housework at home, so Mom doesn't need to do it."
"My husband is so good."
Su Xi hugged Zhou Jingming's neck, smiling brightly, "Are you still angry?"
"angry."
It would be a lie to say I'm not angry.
Upon hearing Su Xi say those words, everything he ate tasted sour.
Although I knew long ago that she and Lin were going to get together.
But the thought of how good things are makes me unable to stop feeling jealous.
"I'm your wife now, and I'm carrying your child. My body and heart belong to you, so what's there to be angry about?" Su Xi coaxed the man, speaking sweet words of love.
Finally, she even kissed him, saying, "If you really can't get over this, then help me get Lin Ye and Ya Xi together as soon as possible. Once they're truly together, you won't have any worries anymore."
Zhou Jingming thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Seeing that his expression had softened considerably, Su Xi said, "I'll go check on Ya Xi. I'm sure what I said earlier is making her think badly. You don't need to come with me. Go play with Lele. I'll come find you later."
Just as I finished speaking, Lele's soft and cute voice came from ahead.
"elder brother……"
Su Xi winked at the man and quickly approached Lele, "Lele, do you know where Sister Ya Xi is?"
Lele pointed behind her, "It's in front of us."
"Lele is such a good girl, go find your brother."
Su Xi patted her little head and hurried off to find Huang Yaxi.
Not far away, Huang Yaxi sat on a rattan chair in the front yard, holding a twig in her hand, drawing something on the ground.
When Lin caught up with her, she stood up and was about to leave as soon as she saw him.
"Ya Xi".
Lin called out to her.
They took a few steps closer.
Huang Yaxi's tone was full of resentment, "What are you doing here?"
"Let's talk."
Lin also stood in front of her.
Shedding his usual white lab coat attire, he wore casual clothes tonight, looking tall and upright, exuding a composed and dignified air.
The streetlights cast his shadow long, intertwining it with Huang Yaxi's shadow.
He was already handsome, and with glasses on, he looked even more refined and noble.
Her charm shines through in every gesture.
"We probably don't have much to talk about." Huang Yaxi is slender and outstanding, quite exceptional among women.
Even now, standing next to Lin Ye, she still appears incredibly petite.
"Are you angry?" Lin also looked at her.
Huang Yaxi turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, "What do I have to be angry about?"
"Because of what Xi'er just said," Lin said, changing the subject.
Huang Yaxi had been holding back her grievances, but when she heard him say that, she immediately let them all out: "You and Su Xi are childhood sweethearts, you're close friends and visit each other often, so it's only natural for you to cook for her."
Having known Huang Yaxi for so many years, this was the first time Lin Ye had ever seen her so angry.
It's still because of Su Xi.
I suddenly found it funny.
He explained, "Back then, she suffered all kinds of bullying from the Su family and struggled to make a living in obscurity. As her brother, couldn't I bring food to my own sister?"
