Chapter 498: Chapter 495
She had fashioned her hair into a scorpion braid, beautiful and full of character. Whether in a big city or here, she was always exquisite.
Wen Xian threw herself onto him, clinging to his neck and tiptoeing to kiss his neck:
“Husband, you’re finally back.”
Lu Xiao wrapped one arm around her and, after changing shoes, carried her straight inside, saying, “Didn’t you look through the peephole on the door? I didn’t see you draw back the curtains. How did you know it was coming back?”
Wen Xian shook her head, “Lu Xiao, do you believe that, actually, you can distinguish soone by the sound of their footsteps? I knew it was you just by hearing them.”
It wasn’t just the sound, but her strong sixth sense as well.
Even if he was still quite far from the doorstep, sotis she had this indistinct feeling — he was about to return.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao’s face turned stern as he said, “What nonsense, why don’t you make sure to see clearly before opening the door? What if a bad person were to co?”
Wen Xian couldn’t argue with him and knew she was in the wrong, so she coaxed him, “Alright, alright, I know I was wrong. I’ll rember next ti. Go freshen up and change your clothes. I’ve made you so delicious food.”
Really, this area under their jurisdiction was so deserted, not even birds bothered to defecate here, so where would people co from?
These past few days, she had been studying gourt food.
Yet, Lu Xiao looked slightly amused. As a beginner, when she had started cooking, it was either too salty or too sweet. However, the upside was that she was improving day by day, albeit without much expectation from him.
Originally, he didn’t want her to enter the kitchen, but when he sotis couldn’t return at noon, she would go hungry.
So, he wanted her to learn to be more independent. When he was there, he would take care of everything, but when he wasn’t, he hoped she could take care of herself well.
Developing her abilities in all aspects was truly for her own good.
The idea that nurturing an adult baby is love was nothing but toxic chicken soup, only harmful to people.
Wen Xian transford into a little chef, lining up dish after dish on the long bar, four dishes and one soup for the two of them.
All were simple ho-cooked dishes, cucumber stir-fried with eggs, chili peppers stir-fried with cured at, braised chicken wings, chicken and enoki mushroom soup, and seaweed rice balls.
Even though the flavor and presentation were sowhat lacking, for Lu Xiao, who had been busy outside all day and was hungry, it was already enough.
Wen Xian watched him eat as if a gust of autumn wind were sweeping away fallen leaves, beaming with delight.
In the evening, outside the kitchen’s venetian blinds, the sky turned a magnificent blend of blue and pink, like an overturned watercolor palette filling the entire twilight sky.
It was exceptionally vast and sprawling.
Inside the little wooden house, the two of them sat opposite each other, dining: passing dishes to one another, chatting, speaking — it was simple, yet altogether beautiful.
Wen Xian used to be a cool, aloof queen who kept her distance, but now, she had beco a little girl who couldn’t help but smile when she saw him.
After dinner, Wen Xian wanted to wash the dishes, but Lu Xiao stopped her and went to do it himself.
When he ca back, he would try his best not to let her do anything he could do.
She felt sorry for him, wanting to make him a warm al but, he felt even sorrier for her.
She was here to recuperate, not to do household chores.
As the sky gradually darkened, after tidying up, she snuggled up to Lu Xiao on the sofa for a while.
Lu Xiao, feeling her fingers cold, deepened his gaze:
“Everything that should be done is almost sorted out. I’ll get the fireplace working in these next few days.”
