After placing the briefcase tucked under her arm in the entryway, Mo Li changed her shoes, put down her purchases, and headed towards the kitchen.
The rich aroma of chicken soup wafted from the kitchen, making one's mouth water.
Xia Linyin, dressed in casual home clothes with an apron tied in front, her hair loosely braided and hanging down in front of her chest, stood in front of the gas stove, skillfully wielding a spatula.
The moment Mo Li saw Xia Linyin, his whole demeanor softened.
Every time I look at Xia Linyin, I feel like I'm living a blissful life, as if I'm floating on clouds.
Hearing the noise, Xia Linyin turned her head and smiled. "You're back~ There's one last dish, it'll be ready soon. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"My wife has worked hard." Mo Li put his arm around Xia Linyin's slender waist from behind and gently rested his chin on the top of her head.
"What's so hard about it? I'm just cooking two dishes. You're the one who works hard at your job," Xia Linyin said after flipping the dishes a couple of times.
At first, Mo Li didn't give her any chance to cook, and even had to rush home from the company at noon to cook for her.
After her strong protests, they finally stopped coming home to cook for her and booked a catering service for her at a big hotel. Lunch and dinner were delivered to her on time every day, except for Saturdays and Sundays, when Mo Li was on holiday and cooked for herself at home.
Although the food delivered by the hotel was delicious, and there was no repetition of dishes every day, with both meat and vegetables, it was nutritionally balanced.
But she doesn't have much to do at home anyway. If she doesn't even cook for herself, she'll really be idle and bored out of her mind.
Moreover, just like baking, cooking is a happy thing for her, especially when she sees her loved ones eating what she has cooked, and the satisfied look on their faces makes her feel satisfied too.
She liked to cook for Mo Li, just as Mo Li liked to cook for her.
Mo Li kissed Xia Linyin's head and said sweetly, "I missed you."
"Alright, alright, the food's ready. Go wash your hands and eat." Xia Linyin said with a smile. Mo Li was really becoming more and more like a child in front of her.
Mo Li kissed Xia Linyin's head several times like a chick pecking at rice before reluctantly letting go of her. He then took out the bowls for the two of them from the sterilizing cabinet and opened the rice cooker to serve rice.
After serving the last dish, Xia Linyin noticed the two large bags of things Mo Li had placed on the table and asked, "What did you buy this time?"
Pulling open the bag, you'll find boxes of fruit inside.
"Bananas, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, kiwis, jackfruit, and dragon fruit."
"My goodness! Why did you buy so much fruit again?"
"You always buy so much; we can't finish it all."
Xia Linyin complained, "There are still a few boxes of strawberries in the fridge that we haven't finished. You bought more strawberries. They'll go to waste if we can't finish them."
"If you can't finish, I'll help you eat." Mo Li put down his chopsticks and then wrapped his arms around Xia Linyin from behind, clinging to her like a koala. "The ones in the fridge aren't fresh anymore, this one is."
Xia Linyin picked up a box of cherries. Underneath the transparent plastic wrap, the plump, ripe cherries looked incredibly tempting. The price was written on the plastic wrap, and Xia Linyin glanced at it. "128, my god, cherries have gone up in price again."
"This tiny box costs 128 yuan," Xia Linyin put the cherries back in the bag, shook her head, and said, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I can't afford it."
Mo Li suddenly said seriously, "You can afford it, your husband is rich."
Turning her head to look at Mo Li's serious explanation, Xia Linyin chuckled.
However, the smile froze when she saw the expensive box next to her. "You bought me another bag?"
"This is already the third bag this month!"
Xia Linyin opened the box, took out the bag inside, and gritted her teeth, "How much?"
Seeing Xia Linyin's serious expression, Mo Li said somewhat guiltily, "It's alright, not expensive."
Xia Linyin pressed further, "How much?"
Mo Li said hesitantly, "It's only a few tens of thousands of yuan." He omitted a zero.
"I don't usually go out, why did you buy me so many bags?"
Moreover, they were all designer bags. In her opinion, buying one or two of these luxury bags was enough to show off when accompanying Mo Li to important occasions.
She rarely leaves the house, so buying so many bags is completely unnecessary. As for clothes and dresses, I buy her a whole wardrobe full of them.
She's his wife, and she doesn't want to see her husband spend all the money he worked so hard to earn on buying her things.
Mo Li pouted and looked at Xia Linyin with a wronged expression.
Xia Linyin couldn't stand seeing that expression on his handsome face. Every time he did that, she was completely helpless and couldn't help but soften her heart.
He also realized that his tone had been a bit harsh. He had bought her the gift to make her happy, but instead, she scolded him.
"Okay, okay! This bag you bought is really pretty, I actually like it a lot," Xia Linyin said, holding the bag.
Mo Li immediately burst into laughter. If he had a tail, it would be wagging happily right now.
"I'm glad you like it." Mo Li stroked Xia Linyin's hair. "I like buying things for you. That gives me the motivation to earn money. Otherwise, I don't know where the fun in going to the company every day and earning so much money comes from."
Her husband really doesn't have any other hobbies. All his hobbies revolve around her. He likes to eat the fruits she likes, the dishes she likes... He likes whatever she likes.
His only hobby was smoking, but he quit as soon as he learned that she couldn't stand the smell of smoke.
She knew how difficult it was to quit smoking, especially for heavy smokers; quitting was such a painful experience.
Many people know that smoking is harmful to health and bad for their bodies, but they just can't quit because it's so hard to quit.
Her father was nagged by her mother and her many times. Every time he said he would quit, but he couldn't help but start smoking again.
Mo Li only saw her slightly furrow her brow when she first smoked, and then she put out the cigarette. From then on, she never smoked another cigarette.
When he occasionally craved a cigarette, he would eat one of her favorite milk candies, saying that the candy tasted like her own mouth.
"Thank you, honey!" Xia Linyin looked at Mo Li with emotion and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "You're so good to me."
Mo Li was overjoyed by Xia Linyin's kiss, wishing he could pluck the stars and moon from the sky for her; he truly adored Xia Linyin.
After dinner, Mo Li cleared the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them. Xia Linyin put the fruit from the bag into the refrigerator and washed some more to eat.
She wiped her hands, took the box containing the bag, and went upstairs to the second floor.
A room on the second floor of the house was specially renovated as a walk-in closet, which was full of her and Mo Li's clothes, which were hung up according to the four seasons.
The shoes were neatly arranged in rows, categorized by type.
Her bags took up an entire row of wardrobes, filling every single shelf from top to bottom.
