Chapter 256: Pampering His Wife Excessively
"It doesn't taste like that... the seasoning is wrong, the heat is wrong... you don't understand what I want to eat at all..."
She said with a sob.
Xiao Zhiyu: "..."
He took a piece and tasted it, but couldn't tell any difference from the ones in Shenzhen.
But he knew that now was not the time to reason.
Seeing his expression, Ruan Chuxia cried even harder: "You don't care about me anymore... You don't like me anymore, otherwise how come you can't even get what I want to eat..."
She was like a child who had suffered a lot of injustice.
Xiao Zhiyu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
He sat opposite, quietly looking at Ruan Chuxia who was sobbing, with a trace of heartache and helplessness in his eyes.
In the end, he said nothing, no comfort, no further questions, he just stood up slowly and walked calmly towards the telephone in the corner of the room.
His voice was calm and concise: "Book two tickets to Shenzhen and fly now."
After finishing the call, he put down the receiver, turned around and walked straight to the bedroom.
Not long after, he came out of the bedroom carrying a dark blue canvas bag.
"Let's go back to Shenzhen to eat."
"Return to Shenzhen?"
Ruan Chuxia raised her tear-stained face, her eyes filled with confusion and astonishment. "But aren't you only taking two days off? Will the work be approved? Why so sudden?"
Xiao Zhiyu nodded: "So, let's go by plane."
"Huh? A plane?"
Ruan Chuxia's eyes widened suddenly, and she could hardly believe her ears.
Who would have thought that in this life, more than ten years in advance, it would be my turn to board a plane so unexpectedly?
"Um."
Xiao Zhiyu nodded.
"I just called to book a ticket. There's a plane taking off from here in half an hour. If I don't leave now, I'll miss it."
"Huh? So fast?"
Ruan Chuxia was stunned, her mind unable to wrap around for a moment.
"Hurry up, the car is waiting downstairs."
Ruan Chuxia was still standing there in a daze, as if all her thoughts had been taken away.
She was dragged out of the door by him in a daze.
Only when she arrived at the airport did Ruan Chuxia finally come to her senses.
She leaned out of the window, her eyes looking left and right, full of curiosity and novelty.
This was her first time at the airport.
There were no metal detectors or X-ray luggage scanners. The staff casually opened her canvas bag, rummaged through it, and waved, "Go in."
Xiao Zhiyu bought a first-class seat.
A ticket costs sixty yuan.
What concept?
In those days, this was equivalent to nearly two months' salary for an ordinary worker.
As Ruan Chuxia stepped onto the plane, she was hit by a stuffy smell mixed with engine oil, leather and stale air.
My stomach suddenly churned and waves of nausea rose up my throat.
She could only force herself to calm down and try not to show her discomfort.
Fortunately, the stewardess was very considerate. Noticing her pale face, she softly asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Let me get you a blanket."
Xiao Zhiyu sat next to her by the window. Seeing that she looked pale and listless, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Would you like some candy? Something sweet can help ease the discomfort in your stomach."
Ruan Chuxia hummed weakly.
Xiao Zhiyu took out a piece of fruit candy.
He carefully tore open the candy wrapper and carefully put the candy into Ruan Chuxia's slightly opened mouth.
Ruan Chuxia's frown relaxed a little, but her face was still as pale as paper.
After a while, she started to murmur again with tears in her eyes: "I want to eat the salt-baked chicken in Shenzhen... the one from that old shop, the one with golden skin, tender meat that melts in your mouth, and steaming hot..."
Xiao Zhiyu looked at her little face full of grievance and frowned slightly.
He didn't ask any more questions, just replied softly.
"Okay, we're almost there. I'll take you to eat after we get off the plane. Don't worry."
Ruan Chuxia's eyes immediately lit up.
She turned her head to look out the window, her cheek pressed against the cold cabin glass, her eyes following the moving clouds outside.
"Mingyuan, look!"
She suddenly raised her hand excitedly, her fingertips pressed against the glass, pointing at the magnificent scenery outside, her eyes shining like stars, "It's so beautiful! It's like a fairy tale world!"
Xiao Zhiyu sighed softly in his heart. This girl was really hard to deal with.
…
Two hours later, the plane slowly descended amid the roar of its engines.
As soon as they got off the plane, Xiao Zhiyu took Ruan Chuxia straight to an old store in the city.
The owner was a middle-aged man. As soon as he saw Xiao Zhiyu, he came forward with a smile.
"Hey, Mingyuan? Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going back to Beijing? Long time no see!"
His gaze turned to Ruan Chuxia.
"This girl is..."
"My wife, Ruan Chuxia."
Xiao Zhiyu said simply.
When the boss heard this, he immediately laughed.
"I see, I see! Such a loving young couple! I'll make you the best chicken right away! I've saved the pot right off the stove, just for you!"
Not long after, a plate of golden and shiny salt-baked chicken was served.
Xiao Zhiyu sat leaning back in his chair, quietly looking at Ruan Chuxia opposite him.
Ruan Chuxia kept her eyes on the table and picked up the chopsticks impatiently.
When the temperature is right, gently put it into your mouth.
As she chewed, she began to laugh.
Seeing how delicious she was eating, Xiao Zhiyu couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks.
He chewed the chicken carefully for a few times and nodded involuntarily.
It’s really good, no wonder she eats so wholeheartedly.
But is it so greedy that you cry?
He still found it a little difficult to understand.
I was afraid that she would eat too much and hurt her stomach.
He also paid special attention when ordering the dishes.
Try to combine meat and vegetables to ensure balanced nutrition.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Chuxia's appetite was unexpectedly good. She was not picky or had no appetite as usual.
She ate almost two-thirds of the whole chicken in a blink of an eye, and even ate up all the juice at the bottom of the plate by mixing it with rice.
She even drank most of the bowl of cabbage and tofu soup.
He also finished most of the side dishes, eating more than a normal person would.
Xiao Zhiyu watched her eat with gentle eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that even if it was just for this meal, flying thousands of miles was totally worth it.
Now that she has calmed down and regained her rationality, she realizes how willful and heartbreaking her behavior was.
She lowered her head and whispered softly, "I'm full... If I do this again in the future, please don't let me do it. It's really tiring and it's not fair to you."
Xiao Zhiyu did not respond immediately, his eyes were deep and gentle.
After a few seconds, he spoke seriously: "Why are you tired? A flight is nothing. You are really hard-pressed when you are pregnant."
"As long as it's something you want to eat and something you can eat, I'm willing to find a way to make it happen. If you can eat, sleep, and be healthy, I'll be more relieved than anything else. I'm willing to run myself to pieces just to make you happy."
Ruan Chuxia rubbed her slightly swollen belly and suddenly remembered something. "How about going to Wei Chenglu's house? I'll give her the money I've saved from selling skincare products these past few months. She's helped me so much and has been waiting for me to pay her back in person. I think I should thank her in person."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhiyu said without hesitation: "Okay, let's go."
It takes only about ten minutes to walk from the restaurant to Wei Chenglu's house.
