Chapter 249 - 227: But I Want to Eat You More Right Now
Gu Qimiao tasted Xiaoxiao’s cooking in the hospital and couldn’t help but think, should she find some time to learn how to cook as well? Men probably like women who can cook, right?Although Shen Yanchen’s cooking skills were already quite good, she couldn’t let him do everything. He got tired from work, and if he came home to find that she had already prepared dinner, he would probably like her even more, right?
In the evening, Shen Yanchen personally drove over to pick her up. As soon as Gu Qimiao got into the car, he gave her the cold shoulder the entire way.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Qimiao silently fastened her seatbelt and looked at him, asking.
Shen Yanchen didn’t respond, completely ignoring her question and keeping his eyes fixed ahead.
Because of the distance, he came over directly after work, and it was already quite late. Neither of them had eaten, and Gu Qimiao was feeling a bit anxious from hunger.
She originally wanted to happily discuss where to eat dinner with him, but didn’t expect him to give her the cold shoulder like this.
She had been at the hospital all day and hadn’t provoked him. Could it be that he got upset at work and was taking it out on her?
After thinking about it, Gu Qimiao decided to cheer him up. Otherwise, her mood would also turn gloomy.
"Hubby, what are we going to eat later?"
Shen Yanchen’s grip on the steering wheel tightened momentarily, only for half a second, but he still ignored her question.
Seeing that this tactic didn’t work, Gu Qimiao pouted helplessly and asked him seriously, "What’s wrong? I didn’t provoke you."
Shen Yanchen sped up the car in response and said, "Don’t talk to me until you realize your mistake!"
"...What did I do wrong? We haven’t been together all day."
Hearing her response, Shen Yanchen’s expression grew even darker.
Gu Qimiao pouted, thinking carefully about her words, and then tried to remember what she did today.
But after thinking it over, she still couldn’t figure it out. They were fine last night, they had breakfast together in the morning, and then she went to the hospital. They only met now—how could she have provoked him?
Seeing her confused face, Shen Yanchen said coldly, "You seemed pretty comfortable keeping another man company, huh? Did you think about your own husband?"
Gu Qimiao suddenly realized he was upset because she visited Gu Moming! But he hadn’t seemed unhappy when she mentioned going to the hospital this morning.
"What’s wrong with visiting a sick relative? Besides, Xiaoxiao was there too. I just came to visit."
"Still got an excuse? Should I send you back now?"
"Hubby~" Gu Qimiao called out sweetly, "You don’t want your wife to be heartless, right? We can’t just forget about the people from before after getting married."
Shen Yanchen couldn’t stand her lingering feelings for Gu Moming, "But he’s still a man!"
Gu Qimiao looked at him and asked, "Are you even jealous of him?"
"Yes, so you better watch it in the future!"
Gu Qimiao: "...!!" She didn’t expect him to admit it so bluntly.
"You’ve been with him for over twenty years. You call each other siblings, but are you actually related?"
"...Okay, I’ll be more careful from now on. If he marries Xiaoxiao, I can relax completely." Seeing his face darken again, Gu Qimiao quickly changed the subject, "I’m really hungry now and want to eat your cooking!"
He didn’t speak, but his brows noticeably relaxed a bit. Gu Qimiao continued to praise him, "Your cooking is the best. Teach me how to cook when you have time, okay? Then you can eat as soon as you get home from work!"
Shen Yanchen raised an eyebrow slightly, as if imagining the warmth of that scene and feeling some anticipation for it.
But given her cooking skills, which only extended to scrambled eggs with tomatoes, who knows how long it would take for that day to come.
Initially, they planned to grab a quick bite at a restaurant. But since she said she wanted his cooking, they went straight to the supermarket after arriving in Mai City.
It was after seven, and the supermarket was quite crowded. Shen Yanchen pushed the shopping cart while Gu Qimiao held onto his arm, looking around and choosing the ingredients she wanted to eat.
Despite being busy, it was quite satisfying to stroll around the supermarket with the person you loved. After cementing their relationship, she was much more relaxed in his presence, almost like her childhood self.
She displayed all her little emotions in front of him, being obedient and quite attuned to his mood.
They initially came to buy ingredients for dinner, but by the time they left, their cart was full of fruits, vegetables, and her snacks.
On a whim, she said she wanted to learn how to cook and bought a few cookbooks.
Back home, she rolled up her sleeves and followed him into the kitchen. However, being clumsy, she couldn’t do much and could only help wash the vegetables.
After washing the vegetables, she stood to the side, staring at him, as if trying to learn by observation. Shen Yanchen, about to chase her out, was stopped by her dreamy comment, "Hubby, you look so good cutting vegetables."
Shen Yanchen’s expression didn’t change, but inwardly, he felt elated. Having your beloved person admire you was quite enjoyable.
He didn’t chase her out while cutting the vegetables, but as he started frying, with the rising smoke, Shen Yanchen finally said, "Get out of here, don’t get in the way."
Gu Qimiao pouted, "I want to learn from you and see how you make it so delicious."
Shen Yanchen adjusted the heat, turned around, and took a small bunch of grapes from his pocket, washed them, and handed them to her, "Go watch TV."
Gu Qimiao took the grapes and started eating them while walking out of the kitchen. Halfway out, an idea flashed through her mind.
She turned back to his side.
Shen Yanchen was stirring the soup when he felt something bump against his arm. Turning his head, he saw that she was back, holding a grape halfway in and out of her mouth, looking up at him.
Seeing no reaction from him, Gu Qimiao stood on tiptoes, indicating that he should take a bite.
Shen Yanchen frowned slightly. When did this girl learn this trick? Her antics were tickling his heart.
He leaned down to play along, but just as he was about to reach her, she quickly swallowed the grape, smiling playfully at him.
Shen Yanchen looked at her with a stern face. She had the nerve to tease him!
Gu Qimiao proudly started to walk away, but Shen Yanchen grabbed her, capturing her lingering smile with a kiss.
Behind them, the bubbling sound of the soup pot mixed with the soft hum of the extractor fan.
Completely caught off guard by his kiss, she hadn’t even chewed the grape, and now, under his force, she had to swallow it whole. Feeling suffocated, she desperately pounded on his chest.
Shen Yanchen let her go, watching her breathe heavily, her face blushing and lips glistening, looking even more tempting. Clearly, his punishment had worked.
"Still want to eat?"
Gu Qimiao nodded, "Yes."
"But I want to eat you more right now."
