Chapter 605 Make her proud (2/2)
”Remember Lu Tian. Happy wife leads to happy life.”
His deep voice sounded hoarse like his throat had dried up like a desert. He could only remind himself of what his old man used to tell him and Han.
No matter how bad one's wife's cooking is, always eat it. Doing this will make her happy and lets her know that you appreciate and respect her.
He takes another deep breath to swallow his saliva and takes a step closer to the pot of death. Quickly scooping three spoonsful of the food, he pours it inside a bowl and turn for the dining table.
Taking a seat, he stares down at the table. He felt like he had turn into a small child who got lost in a scary forest and was lure by an evil witch to her cottage to eat the food that contained her poisons.
”Lu Tian. You are a grown man. You got this.”
He murmurs to himself with motivation words and picks up the spoon.
”Your wife made this. Make her proud.”
His words of self-motivation fell and he picks up a chunk of the green food with his spoon. Slowly opening his mouth, he moves the spoon closer to his mouth.
As he did this, he was completely unaware that his own lips were trembling with hesitation.
Just when the spoon was one centimeter away from touch his mouth, he gives up and set the spoon down. He sighs aloud and leans back on the chair like he had ran a marathon.
”This is easier said than done.”
He stares down at the table again and now he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lifting his hand, he massages his temple them pinch the space between his brows.
With his hand blocking his face from view, his shoulders lightly trembles. However, one cannot tell if he was actually laughing or crying.
He lowers his hand and the second he did this, his entire demeanor changed back to its usual indifference. He stares at the food one more time and quickly gathering all his courage, he picks up the spoon to eat.
”Lu Tian, if your wife knows that you were the slightest hesitant to eat the food, she had prepared for you, she will be sad and never cook for you again.”
He inhales sharply and this time, he found the motivation to eat the food. So what if it looks life threatening, his wife made it.
*Vrooom—
Just when the tips of his fingers touched the spoon handle, the sound of multiple engines revving outside interrupts him. He retrieves his hand and sighs in relief like an angel had saved him.
”Phew. Saved by my wife.”
He knew that it was his wife and the others since she said they were coming home. Although he is thankful that he didn't have to eat the food, he hopes that she won't mind.
Not only that, he will have to ask if he somehow anger her for her to cook a meal like this.
”Lu Tian!!”
”Stop!!”
Lu Tian had already walked out from the kitchen and was heading for the front door. When he was halfway to the door, it was suddenly swung open and two voices cries out at the same time.
He looks at the two people and his brows crease together.
Why are Liu Shan and Lin Hui screaming for him to stop?
