Chapter 22 Dog Food



The two arrived at the Star Observatory, and the shopkeeper quickly welcomed them to the private room on the second floor. Mu Yunlan was very interested in the new dishes, so she ordered all of them except for her favorite dishes.

Xiao Yunrou watched in silence as Mu Yunlan ordered dish after dish. Finally, seeing that she was about to order more, she quickly stopped her and whispered some advice to her.

"Even if we bring all the maids and servants with us to the table, we still can't finish this dish. If you want to eat more, you can come back next time. It's not enough for one time, right?"

Although Mu Yunlan was still reluctant after hearing this, he accepted Xiao Yunrou's suggestion. He raised his chin and asked the waiter to serve the dishes first, then he took Xiao Yunrou to sit by the window and drink tea.

Soon, the waiter brought in dishes one after another, and the room was immediately filled with the aroma of food, which made people's appetites whet. Mu Yunlan stared at the dishes on the table with his sparkling eyes, and even Xiao Yunrou's appetite was aroused.

Just as the two were about to start, the door of the private room was pushed open and a man in black walked in carrying some delicious cakes.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Yunrou was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile, but was pushed down by Pei Lingfeng, who then greeted Mu Yunlan.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that you were here, so I came to take a look. I was thinking of bringing back the squirrel fish you like to eat, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

Pei Lingfeng's voice was gentle, and his eyes were not as cold as before. The tenderness in his eyes could be seen clearly, and he did not have the cold-blooded and violent aura as rumored. He was just like an ordinary nobleman, and Mu Yunlan was unable to react for a moment.

"This...this...this is Pei Lingfeng?"

Mu Yunlan looked at the man who sat next to Xiao Yunrou without asking a single question, and suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

“Is this a changed person?”

Mu Yunlan's mind was filled with disbelief. In her impression, Pei Lingfeng was like an ice cube, with no expression on his face and a coldness emanating from his whole body, like an emotionless monster. Now, although Pei Lingfeng was still indifferent, the cold aura was gone, replaced by tenderness towards Xiao Yunrou. She had no way of associating him with the person in her memory.

Pei Lingfeng glanced at Mu Yunlan lightly and then looked away. He picked up a large piece of fish with chopsticks, picked out the fish bones himself, and placed the bowl in front of Xiao Yunrou.

"Eat more."

Mu Yunlan was almost stunned by such a natural sentence and such a gentle attitude towards his wife. He didn't even care about her favorite food.

This is totally different from the Pei Lingfeng I know! What went wrong?

"Yun Lan, Yun Lan?"

Seeing that Mu Yunlan's eyes had become dull, Xiao Yunrou helplessly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Yun Rou, is this really Pei Lingfeng? Uh... he doesn't look that cold, he looks a lot gentler..."

Xiao Yunrou laughed. She knew how Pei Lingfeng was viewed by others, so it was no wonder that Mu Yunlan was so surprised. If it weren't for Pei Lingfeng's meticulous care for her during the days since her rebirth, she would have thought the same as Mu Yunlan.

"Of course it's him."

Mu Yunlan looked at Xiao Yunrousi and saw that she didn't seem to be forced at all. Pei Lingfeng was also gentle and considerate. There was no deliberate fabrication of affection between the two of them, but it made people feel that this was the attitude that a couple should have. But why did she feel that this scene was a bit eye-catching?

Mu Yunlan buried his head in eating his meal in a somewhat depressed manner. Pei Lingfeng sat next to Xiao Yunrou and kept picking up food for her. He removed the fish bones from the fish and peeled the shrimp shells from the shrimp. Xiao Yunrou was fed like a little squirrel.

"Yun Rou, do you usually eat like this at home?"

Pei Lingfeng was peeling shrimps for Xiao Yunrou with his bony hands at this time. Mu Yunlan's words made her slightly stunned. Seeing Mu Yunlan's surprise and Pei Lingfeng's actions at this time, Xiao Yunrou's ears turned red.

Although there were usually maids serving meals at home, Pei Lingfeng would do this from time to time. It was supposed to be a hobby between husband and wife, but he felt embarrassed when there were other people around, especially in front of his good friends. He could not avoid being teased by her in the future. Xiao Yunrou could only glare at Pei Lingfeng, but her eyes were full of infinite coquettishness, which made Pei Lingfeng's eyes become even softer.

"Since you have a good appetite, eat more. I asked someone to bring some grapes from the south. You can eat some more when you return."

Pei Lingfeng did not stop peeling shrimps, and even asked someone to bring grapes over. You know, fruits are easy to spoil, especially after the heavy snow a few days ago. It takes a lot of manpower, material resources and money to deliver a basket of grapes. Ordinary people can't afford to eat such expensive fruits at this time.

With just one sentence, they showed off their affection. Mu Yunlan felt that she was not satisfied today by the delicious dishes, but by the affection between the two.

"I, I'm telling you guys... there's a living person here, can you please stop ignoring me?"

Mu Yunlan looked at Xiao Yunrou with resentment, she looked like a woman abandoned by a treacherous man. Pei Lingfeng used to be cold and difficult to get along with, she was afraid that her friend would have a hard time, but now Pei Lingfeng cared about his wife like an ordinary husband, which made her feel desperate. She always felt that she was a blind and stupid person in the past, and those things she occasionally saw were all her memories. She believed everything others said. Pei Lingfeng was obviously a gentle and good man!

After the meal, the dishes on the table were removed and replaced with the best oolong tea. They drank tea and chatted while digesting the food. Although Xiao Yunrou and Mu Yunlan were the ones talking, Pei Lingfeng just sat quietly beside Xiao Yunrou.

"I heard that the princess likes the paintings of Zheng Anrui, the painter saint of the previous dynasty?" Pei Lingfeng suddenly asked.

Mu Yunlan nodded slightly and looked at Pei Lingfeng in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"It just so happens that I got a pair a few days ago. If the princess doesn't mind, I will have someone send it to the princess's mansion tomorrow."

Mu Yunlan's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this. She didn't expect Pei Lingfeng to tell her this. Many of Zheng Anrui's paintings were burned in the war at the beginning of the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. Very few of them have survived to this day. They are priceless. Pei Lingfeng just gave away such a valuable painting? Mu Yunlan said she didn't understand.

"This is too expensive." Although Mu Yunlan liked it very much, she also knew that it was difficult to accept such a valuable thing. If it was Xiao Yunrou, she would still consider it, but Zheng Anrui's paintings really made her worried. After a long time, she still looked at Pei Lingfeng weakly.

"Well, how about I buy it from you with silver?"

Pei Lingfeng was stunned. He didn't expect Mu Yunlan to say such a thing.

"You are Rou'er's good friend. She has received a lot of care from you. Please accept this painting."

Xiao Yunrou looked at Pei Lingfeng with some surprise. Although she couldn't tell anything from his face, she felt that Pei Lingfeng was serious about what he said.

"Just accept it. Neither of us is a pretentious person. It would be a waste for us to have this painting. Besides, his things are mine. Just accept it as a gift."

What's his is mine!

Pei Lingfeng's lips slightly raised when he heard this, and he was obviously in a good mood. Mu Yunlan was hit by the sudden wave of affection again, but now she focused all her attention on Zheng Anrui's painting and forgot about other words.

"Well, I'll be welcome then. Thank you." Mu Yunlan responded after a moment's silence.

After accepting Pei Lingfeng's "bribe", Mu Yunlan began to treat him in a good light and was no longer on guard like before.

"It's getting late. You're pregnant, so go back quickly."

The moonlight was slightly cool. The three of them walked to the door. Mu Yunlan got on the carriage of the princess's mansion first. He wanted to say goodbye to Xiao Yunrou, but when he opened the curtain, he saw Pei Lingfeng holding Xiao Yunrou's cloak, gently putting a hat on her, and holding her hand carefully getting on the carriage.

Mu Yunlan silently lowered her arm and told the driver to go back home. She really felt that she was superfluous this evening, disturbing the couple's fun. What was this happy and sad feeling?

In another carriage, Xiao Yunrou took the hand warmer handed to her by Pei Lingfeng as soon as she sat down. In the dim carriage, she looked at Pei Lingfeng with great curiosity.

"When did you collect Zheng Anrui's paintings? I remember that you seemed to appreciate Bai Liu's paintings more."

Pei Lingfeng naturally would not tell Xiao Yunrou that this painting by Zheng Anrui was found by him at the beginning of his rebirth based on his memory, just to give it to Mu Yunlan.

Mu Yunlan is one of the few good friends Xiao Yunrou can trust with her life. Such a trusted person has a great influence on Xiao Yunrou. In addition, Mu Yunlan's personality is not bad. In the past few years, their husband and wife got along plainly, and Mu Yunlan always came to accompany Xiao Yunrou.

"I got it by chance, there's no point in me keeping it. Since she's your good friend and someone you cherish, it wouldn't be a shame to give it to her if she likes it."

Xiao Yunrou was very moved. She leaned in Pei Lingfeng's arms with a gentle and reassured look on her face.

"Thank you, thank you for being so kind to my friend."

Pei Lingfeng held Xiao Yunrou's arms tightly, his eyes full of depth.

"You are my wife, and I will treat those who treat you well."
