541 Domestic Wife (1/2)
Originally Ying just wanted to make things difficult for Han Bohai. In her opinion, a star like him won't be able to have any culinary skills. However, when she watched his practised and calm knife skills from the sitting area, she had her suspicions about her own assumptions.
But her suspicion was confirmed when he placed three dishes and soup on the table while calling her over. Ying blinked at the food then at him. Why was he surprising her more and more?
Taking a seat, she voiced out her doubts, ”I didn't think you'd be good at this.”
Han Bohai instantly crouched down beside her chair and cupped his own face trying to act cute as he said, ”Am I awesome? Don't I feel like a perfect husband material? Now, you have no reason to kick me out of your life.”
Seeing his expressions, Ying was even more amused but held back her smile. Why was it that this big man could act cute without looking cringe at all? She was truly baffled!
”Well, I don't judge things from looks. I need to taste it first,” Ying tried to avoid answering his stupid question. Because she knew unless she said 'Yes' according to his wishes, he won't be satisfied at all. And she wasn't in the mood to be pestered by him.
Han Bohai didn't push it as well. Instead, he picked the serving chopsticks to help Ying with food while constantly seeing her face. He needed to see her reaction.
Ying was actually pleasantly surprised when she tasted the food. It tasted better than her expectation and she couldn't help giving him another glance while taking another bite. How was she supposed to say it... Well, it didn't taste like a five-star hotel's meal. But it gave a really homey feeling which Ying actually lacked in life.
In fact, since her parents were always travelling, she never really had a meal that reminded her of home. So, it was really surprising how his simple homemade dishes were so easily able to capture her attention. Maybe it was just as Xiu had said to her last time when she brought the food over, 'Food is delicious even at a roadside stall and even at a five-star hotel. It's the feelings it can evoke that matters.'
”How is it? Delicious, right? Do I get the perfect husband material badge?”
Ying rolled her eyes at his eagerness before shoving a piece of carrot into his mouth to shut him up.
”At most, it only proves that you're the perfect domestic wife material. I don't think I'll mind raising such a wife.”
Han Bohai chewed on and swallowed before shamelessly saying, ”Then, is husband willing to raise this adorable wife?”
Ying was beyond herself now. She wasn't angry, she looked helpless as she said, ”Your brazenness really know no limits, eh?”
”Cough! Cough!”
Ying choked on her food so badly that tears brimmed up in her eyes. Han Bohai hurriedly stroked her back and passed her some water. After she was done coughing for a minute, she pointed a trembling finger at his face and raged, ”You!”
Han Bohai took her hand in his hand and with a face full of worry said, ”Husband, seize this temper. It's not good for your health. How will this wife survive if something happens to you?”
”HAN. BO. HAI!”
Han Bohai instantly sealed his lips and stepped back cautiously. ”Sorry! I was just trying to lighten up your mood. Don't take it that seriously!”
Seeing his guilty look, Ying felt her anger deflating very easily. And she focused on eating since she couldn't even finish her breakfast when her grandmother had called her. So, right now she was feeling really hungry.
