My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 874 - 486: A Dish That Miss Yun Can’t Eat (Double-Length, Part 2)

Chapter 874: Chapter 486: A Dish That Miss Yun Can’t Eat (Double-Length, Part 2)

This subtle action left Li Zhibai puzzled as to what Yun Qian wanted to eat, but Xu Chang’an understood perfectly; after picking a few dishes, he returned to his seat.

"Have a sip of tea to wash away the oiliness." Xu Chang’an said.

"Mm." Yun Qian took Xu Chang’an’s tea cup and drank a sip.

Xu Chang’an then held a bowl and gently fed a small piece of steamed pork into Yun Qian’s mouth.

The perfectly seasoned broth overshadowed some of the greasiness, and the taste, with just the right amount of sweetness, excited every taste bud.

Cooked to just the right degree, neither too tough for Miss Yun’s delicate bite nor overly soft; as Yun Qian bit into it, the tender meat with a slight resilience resisted the teeth’s cut, and with a little pressure, a burst of delicious sauce emerged.

It was her favorite taste.

Yun Qian blinked, thinking indeed it was so.

Though her husband said it was a banquet prepared for Zhu Pingniang, everything suited her taste best. Among the dishes on the table, only one was too spicy for her, the rest were all dishes she loved.

Watching Yun Qian chew carefully, Xu Chang’an handed over a drink only after she swallowed.

Being gently fed by someone is a rather pleasant and happy affair, but there’s something even happier than this in the world.

That is being fed by someone attractive.

And even better—when the attractive person is someone who loves you.

Leaning against the person beside her, Yun Qian inhaled his faint fragrance while swallowing the meal he personally made, as he wiped away the oil on her lips with a napkin.

"..."

At this moment, the few women witnessing all this fell silent simultaneously.

Yun Qian, who used to have eyes like deep pools, unfazed by anything, now displayed such a blissful expression in their presence. When "dog food" mixed with the shimmering light in Yun Qian’s eyes, it was undeniably powerful.

Before them lay a table full of dazzling arrays, the steam of the dishes rising, complementing the nurturing of Spiritual Power, enough to stir anyone’s appetite.

And now, for Li Zhibai and others, even the air seemed sweet.

Especially for Miss Lu, who was currently quite aware of her liking for both Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian, so when the two people she liked showed affection before her, she glanced at Yun Qian, then at Xu Chang’an, and didn’t forget to sip her sweet tea from time to time, quite greedy.

Jealous?

Hmph.

Is being jealous of Zhu Pingniang more satisfying than watching someone you like being affectionate?

Wen Li took her tea cup and sipped lightly, squinting her eyes.

This was also the first time she’d seen Junior Sister Yun like this.

Being fed is such a blissful thing?

Isn’t it?

Wen Li thought that Xiaohua being fed by Xu Chang’an wasn’t a rare occurrence; there were times Xu Chang’an even forcefully stuffed medicine into Xiaohua’s unwilling mouth.

At that time, she didn’t feel anything special; if she had to say, perhaps... there was some natural shyness and annoyance from a girl.

Swallowing the tea down her throat.

As her fingers lightly grazed her neck, Wen Li put down her tea cup, taking a bite of the dish Yun Qian just ate.

"...Ah Bai."

"Hands off."

Zhu Pingniang tried to grab Li Zhibai’s tea cup like Yun Qian, but being glared at, she reluctantly picked up Miss Lu’s cup and downed it: "If you won’t give, you won’t give. What’s there to be so fierce about?"

Miss Lu gave Li Zhibai an apologetic look, then chided, "Sister, use your own."

"I won’t." Zhu Pingniang huffed, then frowned: "Lu’Er, you added sugar to your cup, didn’t you? Why is it so sweet? Trying to kill me with sweetness?"

"That’s why I said, sister, use your own." Miss Lu sighed, whispering to Zhu Pingniang: "Besides, you’re already sweetened by that gentleman and lady, don’t take it out on my tea... I’m still sour at heart."

Finishing, Miss Lu glanced at Li Zhibai.

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

She glared fiercely at Miss Lu, then turned to Wen Li.

Speaking of which, this Wen girl had been eating non-stop since the banquet started, didn’t she have anything else to say besides eating?

Is she a cat, or a pig?

Wen’Er looked at herself trying to woo the stoic-hearted Ah Bai, yet she didn’t even help herself with some backup, just focused on eating.

Though indeed the taste was wonderful, she ate quite a lot herself, only... because Li Zhibai was there, she forced herself to focus away from the food onto Li Zhibai instead.

Zhu Pingniang didn’t want Ah Bai to think of her as a gluttonous girl.

So, even with such delicious food before her, she restrained herself from eating belly-full. Seeing Wen Li enjoying her meal abundantly by herself aroused her envy.

"Ah Li."

"Master?"

Wen Li looked up, puzzled why she was suddenly called.

"How do you find Chang’an’s cooking?" Zhu Pingniang asked.

"Junior Brother’s cooking..." Wen Li pondered for a moment.

Meanwhile, Lian Yunqian also glanced over; she always appreciated women who were observant and articulate.

"I really like it." Wen Li replied earnestly.

"Who doesn’t like it... what I meant was... never mind." Zhu Pingniang, glared at by Li Zhibai, shook her head: "Ah Li, among the dishes on this table, which is your favorite?"

This question was indeed a good one.

Even Xu Chang’an was a bit curious; since he had carefully prepared all the dishes, as a chef, he naturally wanted to hear the guests’ feedback.

And Xu Chang’an was quite gratified.

Discussing food was indeed a proper topic.

If it had been Zhu Pingniang awkwardly flirting with Li Zhibai this whole time, he wouldn’t want to stay even a moment longer.

"My favorite..." Wen Li frowned at hearing this.

It was indeed difficult to decide.

But everyone ultimately has something they favor the most.

After thinking for a bit, Wen Li gave her answer: "Brassica, I like this one more."

Brassica?

Xu Chang’an was surprised upon hearing this.

The so-called Brassica was actually cabbage, and what Wen Li was referring to, simply put... was spicy and sour cabbage?

"You little girl, among all the fine dishes, and you fancy this Brassica dish of all things? You’re really easy to please." Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue. This Brassica dish was perhaps the most ordinary on the table.

But upon thinking carefully, liking such things did align with Wen Li’s personality.

"Brassica..." Yun Qian looked at the layer of chili oil floating on the Brassica dish.

Not something she could eat.

To be honest, this Brassica was the only dish on the table that was too spicy, making it entirely inedible for her, even a touch would make her stick out her tongue from the heat.

In other words, the spicy Brassica was the only... dish not specifically prepared for Yun Qian by Xu Chang’an.

Yet Wen Li claimed to like this dish.

Yun Qian blinked.

"Miss, what are you looking at, you can’t eat that." Xu Chang’an reminded: "I added red pepper."

This dish was his personal preference, after all, he was the sort who couldn’t live without chili; however, preparing a dinner for elders, he couldn’t prepare anything overly spicy for himself, so he chose the most ordinary and affordable dish so he wouldn’t lose manners.

Unexpectedly, Senior Wen could eat spicy, and liked it too.

"I’m not touching it." Yun Qian averted her gaze.

She didn’t want to be in tears from the spiciness again.

It wasn’t about avoiding; it’s just that Yun Qian had long accepted that there were things she couldn’t do.

For instance, she couldn’t eat spicy food.

For instance, she didn’t have the strength.

For instance, she couldn’t have children.

All these were as natural as they come.

"Miss, it’s good you have self-awareness." Xu Chang’an joked in a low voice.

Yun Qian tilted her head, thinking here he goes again.

He always enjoyed teasing her in these inexplicable situations.

Zhu Pingniang eyed the Brassica, thinking to herself how sour she felt, no... she must find a way to feed Ah Bai, or maybe... get Ah Bai to feed her.

Her eyes flickered towards Yun Qian: "Ms. Yun."

"Hm?"

"Didn’t you say earlier that these... are your treasures, right?" Zhu Pingniang laughed.

Before this, she had asked Yun Qian if she had ever eaten any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, to which Yun Qian said she had and later realized the dishes made by Xu Chang’an were treasures in her eyes... Zhu Pingniang was indeed fed a mouthful of "dog food" then.

"Indeed so." Yun Qian nodded.

The dinner on this table, every bit of it was her treasure.

Including the dish that Wen Li liked but Miss Yun couldn’t eat, each item on the table was her treasure.
