Su Yaya went to the kitchen and came out with another bowl of corn porridge. She also brought the stir-fried pork with green pepper out.

The couple sat down by the dining table; Su Yaya passed a pair of chopsticks to Shen Xiuqi.

“Let me try out you’re cooking.” Shen Xiuqi smiled and placed a piece of cucumber in his mouth. It was crunchy and fresh, and he could taste the natural flavor of the cucumber in his mouth it was even better than when Aunt Liu made it before.

While he was out on his business trip abroad, every meal he had was always either fish or meat and a lot of wine. Now, suddenly trying this crisp and fresh cucumber salad, it tasted very delicious, and he couldn’t help but eat a few more.

“It tastes very good, right?” Su Yaya smiled. She was confident with her cooking skills. 

Shen Xiuqi nodded his head. “It does taste pretty good.”

“Then eat some more.” She was happy that he liked it. She had successfully pleased him, right?

Shen Xiuqi felt that the cucumber salad was delicious, crispy, and refreshing, it was as if he had never eaten such delicious cucumber salad before. He also ended up eating two bowls of corn porridge, and compared to him, Su Yaya only ate a bowl of corn porridge and a small half of cucumber salad, and as for the rest, it went to Shen Xiuqi’s stomach.

After they had dinner, Su Yaya cleaned up the bowls and brought them to the kitchen to wash, on the other hand, Shen Xiuqi went to his study to handle work. When Su Yaya finished washing the dishes, she glanced at the lights in the study where she could faintly hear Shen Xiuqi speaking. He was probably in a video conference with others. 

Su Yaya quietly went to her bedroom and took out her clothes from the drawer to shower. 

Su Yaya took a nice warm shower and washed her hair. There was a smell that lingered in her hair while cooking earlier, and now that she showered, she felt refreshed.

Her thick black hair was scattered on her neck and back, looking glowing under the light. She paid careful attention to wiping her hair with the towel until it was about half dry. Afterward, she took care of her skin by carefully applying a layer of body lotion, making her skin glossy, smooth, and delicate. When she was done taking care of her body, she put on a face mask and patted some essential oils on herself. She also applied eye cream and many other kinds of products, all of which took quite some time.

Shen Xiuqi came out of his study and stopped by the door, where he watched Su Yaya put on a variety of skincare products. He didn’t understand why women liked to do this. Didn’t their face feel weird from being layered over with so many things?

When Su Yaya finished, she turned around and noticed Shen Xiuqi. How long had he been standing there? She smiled at him and said, “Why are you standing there?”

Shen Xiuqi stared at her and walked over, he reached out and touched her face. It was indeed glossy and smooth, just like an egg white that was freshly peeled, it was so addictive that he didn’t want to let go of her face. It seems that a woman’s thoughtful care of her face was quite effective.

“You’re beautiful today,” He complimented. 

Su Yaya looked up at him with a smile and asked, “Am I not beautiful in the past?”

Shen Xiuqi quickly replied: “No, you were beautiful in the past too. But you’re even more beautiful today.”

The answer was good enough. Su Yaya was happy in her heart so she didn’t argue with him.
