Chapter 75: Husband, I saw you looked a bit overheated.

Through their joint hard work, four dishes were placed on the table.

“Husband, come taste my cooking.”

Jiang Yubing slid the julienned potatoes toward Shen Qingxuan, her eyes full of expectation and excitement.

Although Shen Qingxuan guided her from the side, she personally prepared the entire plate of julienned potatoes.

As the saying went, men and women working together never felt tired.

The meal carried all the warmth between the two of them.

“Mmm.”

Shen Qingxuan smiled, picked up a few strands of julienned potatoes with his chopsticks, and put them into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, a trace of shock flashed across his face.

These julienned potatoes were something else!

With just that one bite, he felt as if he ate all the salt for the week.

But when he saw the look of expectation in Jiang Yubing’s eyes, Shen Qingxuan quickly adjusted his expression.

He forced what looked like a normal smile onto his face and said, “It… it tastes pretty good.”

When Jiang Yubing heard that, her eyes lit up like dazzling stars.

Receiving affirmation from the husband made her overjoyed.

“Husband, if it tastes good, eat more.”

“This is my first time cooking, you got lucky!”

Shen Qingxuan thought he could gladly refuse this favor.

Although he thought so, he could only agree verbally.

“Bingbing, eat quickly, you must be starving.”

As he spoke, he hurried to pick up some julienned potatoes and put them into Jiang Yubing’s bowl.

He hoped that after Bingbing finished eating, she would notice his “determination.”

As for her first time cooking, he must not discourage her enthusiasm.

What nonsense.

His own little life was more important.

At worst, he would do the cooking from now on.

Jiang Yubing looked puzzled.

Why did he give me more?

In the next moment, she happily wondered whether it really tasted so good that the idiot husband wanted to share it with her.

That must have been it; her husband was sometimes silly, but he never lied to her.

If he said it tasted good, then it certainly tasted good.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubing laughed and said, “Husband, you eat all of it; if I want more, I’ll make it next time myself.”

As she spoke, she picked up all the julienned potatoes and put them back.

Looking at the julienned potatoes that were picked back again, Shen Qingxuan sighed long in his heart.

Jiang Yubing, you didn’t understand me!

…

After the meal, the two of them lounged lazily on the sofa to rest.

Not long after, when Shen Qingxuan got up again, Jiang Yubing looked puzzled.

In this short time, she already saw the idiot husband go to drink water several times in a row.

Curious, she picked up her phone and looked it up online.

The results showed that frequently drinking water could be a sign of excess liver heat.

“Husband, I think you look a bit overheated!”

The corner of Jiang Yubing’s mouth lifted slightly, and she spoke with a hint of teasing.

Shen Qingxuan was filling his cup with water.

When he heard this, he froze and turned his head blankly to look at her.

He obviously did not understand what Jiang Yubing meant.

“I saw you go for water several times in just a short while.”

Seeing his expression, Jiang Yubing laughed and explained, “The internet says that constantly drinking water might mean excess liver heat.”

When Shen Qingxuan heard that, he immediately looked aggrieved and muttered, “That’s all because of you; you forced me to finish it.”

When he thought of the scene at dinner, he felt helpless again.

At first he could barely bear a few bites.

But the more he ate, the harder it became to swallow.

He thought about coming clean with Jiang Yubing and escaping the ordeal.

In the end, under her gaze, he finished the entire plate.

“Hee-hee, good boy, not angry anymore, right?”

Watching Shen Qingxuan walk toward the sofa, Jiang Yubing’s eyes curved in a smile and she opened her arms.

“Husband, a hug will make it feel better.”

“Hmph!”

Shen Qingxuan snorted coldly.

Even a three-year-old knew the trick of slapping first and then offering a sweet date.

He would not fall for it.

“Bingbing, you smell so good.”

Jiang Yubing giggled at his duplicity.

She pulled Shen Qingxuan into her arms and wrapped her hands tightly around his waist.

She patted his back gently like coaxing a little kid.

Shen Qingxuan pretended to struggle a few times and then stopped moving.

He settled comfortably in her warm embrace, the corners of his mouth lifting unconsciously.

The ancients did not deceive him.

Bitterness before sweetness was indeed true.

The two of them held each other tightly, enjoying this warm and sweet moment.

But before long, Jiang Yubing loosened the hands that circled Shen Qingxuan’s waist.

When the warm embrace left him, Shen Qingxuan’s eyes instantly filled with reluctance.

My little sweetness was gone just like that.

Jiang Yubing lowered her head slightly, her cheeks tinged with red, and whispered, “I’ll shower first; we can hug again when we sleep.”

“Hmm?”

Did she say they would hug when they slept later?

A surge of secret joy rose in Shen Qingxuan’s heart.

The corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably, and he almost laughed out loud.

The thought of spending the night nestled together made Shen Qingxuan’s mood soar.

“Go on, wife.”

As he spoke, he stood up, gently placed his hands on Jiang Yubing’s shoulders, and half-pushed her toward the bathroom.

Being pushed forward, Jiang Yubing wore a faint smile and complained, “You’re too obvious.”

Shen Qingxuan chuckled, let go, and stood where he was.

His eyes stayed on Jiang Yubing until she walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

He returned to the living room and started tidying the sofa that they had just messed up while playing around.

He arranged the cushions one by one, picked up the snack wrappers on the floor, and tossed them into the trash can.

While cleaning, he hummed an off-key tune.

His mind was filled with the scene of Jiang Yubing saying, “We’ll hug again when we sleep.”

After tidying up, Shen Qingxuan felt thirsty again and went into the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.

While drinking, he inadvertently noticed the dishes still sitting on the kitchen counter.

Thinking that Jiang Yubing would take a while in the shower, he rolled up his sleeves, turned on the faucet, and started washing them.

When he finished, he glanced toward the bathroom.

Judging by the time, Jiang Yubing should almost be done.

He hurried into the bedroom, turned on the bedside lamp, and adjusted the light to its softest brightness.

He straightened the bed and lifted a corner of the quilt to make it easier for them to slip in later.

Just as he finished, the bathroom door creaked open.

Jiang Yubing walked out.

Her fair cheeks looked slightly pink from the steam.
