Deng Rou anxiously said: "I can’t reach Miao Yan on the phone. I went to the apartnt to bring her soup, but no one was there. I called the Gu Family, and her departnt said she hasn’t been to work for a few days! Yu Chen, what should we do?"
Deng Rou was so worried she was about to cry, "Yu Chen, you’re on a business trip and not at ho. We didn’t take good care of your wife. If anything happens to her, your dad and I will..." She started crying on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Miaoyan blad herself. She had been too thoughtless. Now that she’s married, things can’t be the sa as before. She shouldn’t have co so far away without telling her family. She should have inford them about everything.
She knew she was in the wrong.
Zhang Miaoyan’s eyes were red. She never felt it before, but now she realized how much they cared for her.
She picked up her phone: "Mom, I’m here. Don’t cry, please take care of yourself."
Deng Rou’s crying stopped. She was surprised and delighted: "You went to the United States? When did you go? Why didn’t you tell us? Your dad and I were so scared!"
Zhang Miaoyan lowered her head, "Sorry, Mom."
Xie Yuchen couldn’t bear to see her like this. He said: "I asked her to co over on short notice. Her phone broke, so she couldn’t call. It was my oversight not to tell you."
Deng Rou sighed in relief, "As long as Miao Yan is okay, I’m relieved. You young people... don’t you ever think about us at ho? You’re away on a trip, why did you make Miao Yan co over?"
Xie Yuchen said: "If she didn’t co, how would she give you a grandchild?"
Zhang Miaoyan choked on her saliva. She coughed a few tis. How could Xie Yuchen talk to his mother like that!
Deng Rou imdiately laughed, "Alright, alright, make sure to have a big, healthy baby for us to hold. I won’t disturb you anymore."
Zhang Miaoyan wanted to dig a hole in the ground, "Goodbye, Mom."
"Alright, let Yu Chen take you out to have so fun when he’s done with work. Don’t always think about work. I heard that being in a good mood increases the chances of conceiving."
Zhang Miaoyan’s face turned red. Mom really loves joking. Is there scientific evidence for that?
Xie Yuchen complied, "I’ll take her out to have fun."
Deng Rou reminded him, "You need to quit smoking and drinking, not even a little. Don’t stay up late, don’t drink coffee, avoid raw and cold food, and eat more Chinese food..."
Once Deng Rou started talking, she couldn’t stop, nagging about a heap of things. The more Zhang Miaoyan listened, the redder her face beca. Mom really thought of everything for them!
Xie Yuchen gently reassured his mother, "We understand all this. Alright, you should rest now."
"You’re just annoyed by , aren’t you? Mom understands. Just improve your efficiency, and I’ll nag less!"
Zhang Miaoyan buried her face in her pillow. Mother-in-law was so open-minded, she couldn’t handle it!
After this long phone call ended, Xie Yuchen imdiately took off her T-shirt, "Wife, did you hear that? Mom and Dad think we’re not being efficient enough."
Zhang Miaoyan cooperated with him for once. She also wanted a child with him.
She didn’t know that cooperating with her husband would have such a serious consequence. Her response made Xie Yuchen very excited, and she was tornted until late at night.
She didn’t know when she fell asleep, waking up later in the night hungry. She rembered she hadn’t eaten dinner before being "engaged in serious business" by Xie Yuchen.
She wanted to get out of bed, but as soon as she moved, Xie Yuchen woke up and held her tightly, "Where are you going?"
Zhang Miaoyan said, "I’m hungry."
Xie Yuchen touched her stomach. It was his fault that his wife woke up hungry.
He turned on the light, got up, and put on a robe, "I’ll make you sothing to eat."
Zhang Miaoyan groggily wondered, since when did he know how to cook?
Her whole body was aching as she got up. She was wearing a pure white T-shirt that Xie Yuchen had put on her, and it seed like she had taken a bath. She had no mory of it.
Feeling both hungry and in pain, she had no strength left. Worried that her husband might not handle the kitchen well, she propped herself up against the wall and walked out of the room, only to see Xie Yuchen coming in with a bowl.
"Why are you up?"
Xie Yuchen placed the bowl on the bedside table, then carried her back. Zhang Miaoyan saw that it was a bowl of steaming noodles with seafood and eggs, very appetizing.
She sat on the bed, "You made this?"
Xie Yuchen said, "I learn quickly. Cooking a bowl of noodles is easy."
"Did you learn it specifically?"
Xie Yuchen transferred the noodles to a small bowl, blew on them to cool down, and fed her, "Now I can only cook noodles. I’ll cook other dishes for you once I learn."
Looking at his attentive profile, Zhang Miaoyan felt very touched.
She used to cook for him at the apartnt, and the young master always listed many complicated dishes. Now, he could cook for her.
With his help, she took a bite. Xie Yuchen asked, "How is it?"
Zhang Miaoyan nodded, "It’s very good. You should have so too."
Xie Yuchen felt like he received a reward. He also took a bite, "Everyone says I have talent. I learn everything quickly." He was so proud.
Zhang Miaoyan took a sip of the soup. It was rich with seafood flavor, without any fishy sll, just deliciousness and aroma.
As they ate the noodles together, Zhang Miaoyan said, "It’s really good. Hubby, did you learn to cook just for ?"
"No."
Zhang Miaoyan’s face fell, thinking she wasn’t that important, "No more. I’m full."
Xie Yuchen added, "It’s for you and our child."
Zhang Miaoyan smiled brightly, "Really? Then I want another bite."
Xie Yuchen brought the noodles to her mouth and, seeing her easily satisfied, couldn’t help leaning down to kiss her.
Zhang Miaoyan dodged, "I haven’t finished eating yet."
Xie Yuchen stopped teasing her, "Have so more soup."
"Hubby, you’ve improved a lot. You used to make cook complicated dishes, but now you’re learning to cook yourself. That’s great."
Xie Yuchen silently sighed, "Silly girl. I made you cook complicated dishes to make you cook slower, so I’d still see you when I got ho from work. You were too efficient. If I got ho on ti, I’d definitely miss you. Returning early gave a chance."
Zhang Miaoyan couldn’t believe it, "Is that so?"
"What do you think?"
After finishing the last sip of soup, Xie Yuchen took the bowl back to the kitchen and brought in a cup of warm water.
Holding the warm cup, Zhang Miaoyan asked a question she had wondered for a long ti, "Yu Chen, when did you start liking ?"
She had liked him for many years, with much hardship, and she still wasn’t sure how deeply he felt for her. She was always insecure, fearing soone might take him away.
They got married to appease their elders without romantic vows. Zhang Miaoyan felt lost, thinking she had been tricked.
Her marriage seed to lack sothing compared to others, yet also seed perfect.
Xie Yuchen was straightforward, "I don’t know. Liking you is just liking you." Given his personality, asking him such questions was really difficult for him.
Zhang Miaoyan pouted, "You don’t even know that. Do you really love ?"
