The kitchen was steaming and filled with various fragrances. Su Yunjin, who had no appetite these past few days, couldn’t help but feel greedy after slling these scents.
"Auntie Liang, is the chicken soup ready? Can I have a bowl?" Su Yunjin went to the stove where the chicken soup was simring, lifted the lid, and the rich aroma of the chicken soup wafted out.
It slls so good!
Su Yunjin couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
Auntie Liang ca over with a smile, "My lady, the chicken soup hasn’t fully cooked yet! Wait a little longer, once it’s ready, I’ll serve you a bowl."
Su Yunjin felt disappointed and asked if the at in the pot was cooked yet. Auntie Liang shook her head, "My lady, these items have just been put in the pot; none of them are cooked yet."
In the morning, Su Yunjin had no appetite and only had so porridge. Now, enticed by the aroma in the kitchen, Su Yunjin imdiately felt hungry. But since the food in the kitchen wasn’t ready, she decided to return to her room to snack on so pastries while waiting for the als to be prepared before coming back to eat.
"My lady, right, the stead egg custard in the pot should be ready. The young master asked to prepare it for you before he left. I’ll go and get it for you now," Auntie Liang said with a smile as she went to get the egg custard for Su Yunjin.
A hint of surprise flashed across Su Yunjin’s face, "Auntie Liang, you said my husband asked you to cook egg custard for ?" How did Gu Yan know she would be hungry and prepare the egg custard for her in advance?
Could it be that Gu Yan has divination skills?
That’s just too impossible, right?
Su Yunjin was bewildered.
Auntie Liang lifted the lid and used a cloth to hold the bowl as she took the egg custard out of the pot.
"My lady, the young master said you didn’t eat much in the morning, so he told to prepare this egg custard for you, saying that you could have it whenever you were hungry."
Gu Yan was so attentive and considerate to Su Yunjin, Auntie Liang and the other won all felt that Su Yunjin was lucky – a truly blessed woman. Not only was Gu Yan handso and skilled, but he was also exceptionally good to Su Yunjin. Few n in the village personally took care of their wives, let alone soone like Gu Yan who took care of his woman so well.
So Gu Yan had prepared it for her early in the morning.
Hearing Auntie Liang’s words, Su Yunjin’s heart sweetened. A smile curved her lips, and Auntie Liang placed the egg custard on the table and handed Su Yunjin a spoon.
"My lady, this egg custard has just been stead and is still a bit hot. Be careful not to burn yourself," Auntie Liang kindly advised. Su Yunjin took a spoon and began to eat, "Auntie Liang, go on with your work, don’t mind , I can eat by myself." Auntie Liang went to do other things while Su Yunjin sat alone at the table enjoying her egg custard.
Auntie Liang’s egg custard was smooth and tender, with no taste of fishiness at all. Su Yunjin scooped it up with a spoon, savoring the steaming dish.
"My lady, the young master is back," said Auntie Bao.
Auntie Bao, who ca in from the courtyard, saw Gu Yan and reported with a smile to Su Yunjin. Upon hearing that Gu Yan was back, Su Yunjin put down her spoon and got up to go outside.
Seeing his little wife hurrying out, Gu Yan thought sothing had happened, "Yunjin, what’s the matter? Why are you running so fast?"
Concern was evident in Gu Yan’s eyes.
Su Yunjin hugged Gu Yan.
"My husband, they said you were back." As soon as she heard that Gu Yan was back, Su Yunjin didn’t think much and ran out to et him. Su Yunjin spoke as if it was the natural thing to do, but Gu Yan’s handso face darkened instantly.
His tone carried a bit of reprimand, "Nonsense! You are due to give birth in just a couple of days, and you still act so recklessly? What if sothing had happened?" Gu Yan’s anger was laced with concern.
Suddenly, Su Yunjin covered her abdon with her hand, her face twisted in discomfort, "My husband, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
