Just as Cheng Qingyan sighed, Ye Lingyu brought over a bowl of lotus seed soup and placed it in front of him without spilling a drop.
Here, drink up. I'll get you more when you're done.
Looking at the bowl of lotus seed and mint soup, Cheng Qingyan felt the bitterness in her stomach even before she took a bite.
She decided that once she finished this bowl, she would clearly tell Ye Lingyu that she was not drinking anymore!
The shrimp rice next to it had completely lost its competitiveness at this point, losing to the lotus seed and mint soup that Ye Lingyu had personally added ingredients to. The shrimp rice said it was not a loss at all.
After all, that soup had been specially prepared.
Having mentally prepared himself, Cheng Qingyan drank the lotus seed and mint soup that Ye Lingyu brought in one gulp!
Although Ye Lingyu had a smile on her lips, there was no smile in her eyes.
"You finished it again~ It seems you really enjoy this soup I specially made for you, Ayan~"
"I told you not to rush, there's still some left in the pot~"
"I'll go get you another bowl right away, just wait here~"
Cheng Qingyan stopped her from leaving, saying, "My wife, I can't drink anymore."
Ye Lingyu smiled and turned to look at her: "What did you say? You want another bowl?"
"Okay~ I'll go fill it up for you right away~"
Well, how could she possibly refuse this!
Now it's certain, Ye Lingyu wants her to keep drinking her bitter water until she's full!
She had just clearly stated that she didn't want to drink anymore, but Ye Lingyu didn't listen at all!
This was her wife's punishment for making her angry.
Having already angered the person, she dared not say anything more, fearing that what awaited her was not only this unpalatable bitter soup, but also something else entirely.
The kitchen wasn't far from the living room, and Ruan Banxia watched as Ye Lingyu had already made three trips to the kitchen in this short period of time.
Just thinking about those laced soups she made made her frown.
Adding several extremely bitter medicinal herbs, the mixture of various bitter flavors must have been quite a challenge for Cheng Qingyan.
Seeing Ye Lingyu bring in another bowl of soup, Ruan Banxia hissed in shock.
This is the third bowl, isn't it?
What did Cheng Qingyan do to offend Ye Lingyu? Why would he rather drink this bitter stuff than apologize to Ye Lingyu?
How could she know that Cheng Qingyan didn't just not want to apologize? The key point was that Ye Lingyu didn't give her a chance to apologize.
This soup was so bitter that Cheng Qingyan wanted to cry, but she ate bowl after bowl until she felt numb!
So when Ye Lingyu came in with the soup bowl again, Cheng Qingyan tactically stepped back.
Her whole body was filled with resistance; this time, she absolutely couldn't let Ye Lingyu run off to serve her soup again.
If she drank any more, she would be completely steeped in bitterness!
Aside from talking to her about soup, Ye Lingyu and Ye Lingyu had virtually no verbal communication.
Of course, there was no physical contact whatsoever.
He even deliberately avoided her touch.
Ye Lingyu sat in the seat opposite her, not next to her.
Cheng Qingyan stood up, moved to Ye Lingyu's side, and nuzzled her shoulder: "Wife, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
Ye Lingyu remained unmoved and asked her with a smile, "Oh? When were you wrong? How come I didn't know?"
Cheng Qingyan picked at her fingers and lowered her head: "I shouldn't have kept it from you. I didn't want you to be upset."
"I was too presumptuous. I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please forgive me this time..."
She was indeed a little angry, but more than that, she was worried.
The items were stolen, which is a rather serious matter.
If Cheng Qingyan dares to keep this from her, what if something happens later?
The robbers could be outlaws or people with ulterior motives.
Since this robbery was successful, they might rob them again next time.
Once someone has tasted the sweetness of success, how could they possibly give up so easily?
Now that things have happened, as Cheng Qingyan's bedmate, she naturally wants to share all the problems with Cheng Qingyan.
So she could perhaps understand Cheng Qingyan's concealment, but she couldn't help but feel angry.
Cheng Qingyan should have known she already knew when she saw Meng Dazhuang and the others at home.
But she still chose not to speak, which infuriated Ye Lingyu.
Is she someone I can't trust or rely on?
Ignoring Cheng Qingyan, she picked up the soup bowl, brought it to her lips, and took a sip.
It tasted even more bitter than Coptis chinensis, but he swallowed it without even flinching.
Cheng Qingyan snatched the bowl and placed it out of Ye Lingyu's reach, his brow furrowed: "Wife, if you're still angry, then let it out."
"You can insult me or hit me, but I won't talk back or fight back."
"Just one thing, don't make yourself suffer."
It's been tough on me; yes, this soup is indeed very bitter.
After a long pause, Ye Lingyu finally spoke, and this time the smile on her face disappeared.
She let out a deep breath and asked seriously, "Ayan, am I someone you deem unworthy of great use?"
Cheng Qingyan quickly shook his head: "Wife, what are you saying! I have never thought that way, and you are not allowed to think that way either!"
With a sigh, Ye Lingyu continued, "If we encounter danger, you will stand in front of me. Even if it's chasing a criminal, you will go alone."
“When something happens, your first thought isn’t to discuss it with me, but to hide it from me.”
"Ayan, what did I do that made you think I'm only someone who can share your joys but not your sorrows?"
Cheng Qingyan was in a panic. How did things suddenly become so serious?
She just didn't want Ye Lingyu to take any risks, nor did she want to upset her.
Now that she'd been misunderstood, she was truly heartbroken.
Cheng Qingyan stepped forward and took Ye Lingyu's hand, trying his best to explain: "Wife, you have misunderstood. I swear, I have never thought that way."
"If there is danger, of course I will stand in front of you. I would rather get hurt myself than let them hurt you in the slightest."
"The watermelon was stolen. Consider it a loss to avoid further trouble. I was wrong to think it was better not to tell you about this."
"I never imagined that you, my wife, could only share my joys, but not my sorrows." "I'd rather suffer myself than let you, my wife, enjoy the sweetness."
Ye Lingyu pointed to the bowl of unfinished soup: "Then drink what's in the bowl and what's in the pot. There's still a lot of Coptis and Astragalus over Banxia. I'll brew some more for you after you finish drinking it."
"You want to suffer, don't you? Then suffer to your heart's content today, so you won't want to suffer again tomorrow."
After all that talking, she still hasn't shown any intention of changing.
Although her intentions were good, to be honest, watching Cheng Qingyan go on her adventure was more exhausting than her chasing after her herself.
If he had simply admitted his mistake to her, said he wouldn't hide it from her anymore, and discussed everything with her, the matter would have been over.
But perhaps Cheng Qingyan had drunk too much of this bitter soup and it had all gone into his brain?
