Chapter 181 - 181 181 Adding Ingredients to the Soup
?Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Adding Ingredients to the Soup Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Adding Ingredients to the Soup Tang Jin saw that her son actually knew to hold Ye Chuyi’s hand and was delighted as could be, “Young couples should be more affectionate, don’t be shy!”
Ye Chuyi smiled helplessly at her and stopped resisting.
She would just indulge her to make her happy, as it wasn’t going to last too long anyway.
Soon, the three of them entered the villa, ready for dinner.
The evening meal was already laid out on the dining table, and Sheng Tingyuan led Ye Chuyi by the hand to the table until she sat down, still holding his hand.
She couldn’t help frowning. Was it really necessary to take the act this seriously?
In a very low voice, she said, “That’s enough, let go.”
Sheng Tingyuan looked down at the hand in his palm, slender and fair, the large burn on the back of her hand had healed and there was barely a trace to be seen.
He was somewhat surprised. Was her ability to recover that strong? Not even a scar remained.
Ye Chuyi took the opportunity while he was lost in thought and quickly withdrew her hand.
The table was covered in delicious dishes, aroma wafting through the air. What was he daydreaming for? It was time to dig in properly.
Tang Jin had already started serving her with the communal chopsticks, and after a few meals, she had figured out Ye Chuyi’s preferences and selectively picked out her favorites.
As Ye Chuyi ate, a sense of happiness emerged. She really enjoyed eating with Tang Jin, feeling the affection as if being pampered by a mother—a feeling she had lacked and longed for since childhood.
Because of happiness, her smile became exceptionally sweet, and her voice was extra gentle, “Mom, don’t just take care of me, you should eat too.”
She reciprocated by serving Tang Jin as well.
But Tang Jin laughed and said, “I’m getting older and shouldn’t eat too much for dinner. It’s you and Tingyuan who have worked hard all day and should eat more.”
Ye Chuyi understood her implication and the food she picked up took a detour into Sheng Tingyuan’s bowl.
Sheng Tingyuan didn’t utter a word and ate it all.
After a while, at Tang Jin’s subtlety, Ye Chuyi served Sheng Tingyuan several more times and he finished every bit each time.
Ye Chuyi suddenly felt a sense of joy like feeding an animal.
No wonder Tang Jin enjoyed serving her food so much, finding more pleasure in watching her eat than eating herself. It turns out that feeding someone else and seeing them enjoy the food does bring satisfaction.
She turned and smiled at Tang Jin, “Mom, he seems to be not picky at all, he eats everything!”
Tang Jin glanced at her son, smiled and remained silent.
Actually, her son was a bit picky. He didn’t eat food with peculiar flavors like Garland chrysanthemum, cilantro, or carrots, but Ye Chuyi didn’t know. When she served those to him, he actually ate them.
Really curious, does the food served by a wife taste different?
Tang Jin was grinning ear to ear. She felt that her son must be starting to take his wife to heart.
It wasn’t easy, even a blockhead like him would see the light one day.
After dinner, Tang Jin hurried the couple to go back home, “Go on back, you’re both tired from the day, you deserve a good rest.”
Ye Chuyi then got into Sheng Tingyuan’s car with him and they left.
Only then did the smile fade from Tang Jin’s face. She instructed the butler, “Have the driver take Xiaoyi’s car back to her so it won’t delay her use of it tomorrow.”
“Yes, Madam.”
“Call Auntie Wang, I have a few questions for her.”
The butler immediately dialed Auntie Wang’s phone and put Tang Jin on speakerphone.
“Auntie Wang, have you found out the reason Xiaoyi hasn’t been coming home these days?”
“Madam, I’ve found out. The Young Madam somehow burned her hand a while back, and instead of showing concern, the Young Master scolded her, saying that as a doctor, she wasn’t taking good care of her hands, and was playing with patients’ lives by being careless.”
Angry, Tang Jin clutched her chest, “This blockhead, he actually said that? Instead of caring if his wife is hurt, he’s worrying about some figments of patients? Has his brain been kicked by a donkey? I never saw him be this compassionate before, scolding a doctor on behalf of patients!”
“However, the Young Master did go to apologize to the Young Madam that evening and asked me to prepare food for her, which Assistant Xiaoyang came to pick up.”
“So he brought food and still didn’t manage to appease her?”
“Not really, but it seems the Young Madam isn’t truly angry. She goes on with her daily life as usual, just not staying at home.”
“These two originally had a marriage of convenience with no real affection. If Xiaoyi doesn’t stay at home, there’s even less chance for their feelings to grow. How can this go on?”
“Madam, should I add ‘something’ into the water? You’ve always felt they are too polite to each other. A little ‘something’ could help them get closer, couldn’t it?”
“That… whether to add it or not is up to you, I’ve already put something in the soup. They’ve eaten at my place and should be almost home by now. Make sure to guard the door well. Don’t let anyone in or out, you understand?”
“I understand, you can count on me, Madam.”
