Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 106 Jealousy
Twenty minutes passed easily, but more than an hour was not easy to endure. Ye Jiayao said, "Why don't you go to your room and rest for a while, I'll call you when you're done."

Xia Chunyu knew that she would not feel at ease unless she sent him away, so he said, "You should go and have a rest. I'll wait here."

"It's useless for you to stay here. You have to stir it every quarter of an hour." Ye Jiayao said.

Xia Chunyu thought: "I'll take you to a good place."

"Where are you going? I still need to watch this thing!"

Ye Jiayao was dragged out of the door by him. Xia Chunyu hugged her waist and jumped up. Ye Jiayao felt like she was flying and was so scared that she quickly hugged him.

Xia Chunyu brought her to the roof steadily.

"It's cool to sit here and you can look at the stars."

Uh...what a romantic feeling. This guy who looks so cold and blocky actually knows how to create atmosphere!
Ye Jiayao snuggled in his arms and looked at the deep night sky and the bright stars. Such a scene was rare to see in modern times with heavy smog, and even the night sky was hazy.

The Big Dipper, Altair and Vega, Orion, Cygnus... are all in the same positions. The same starry sky creates a completely different world. It is really magical. The universe is full of many unknown mysteries.

I wonder where other people go after they die? Will she return to her original world after this life ends? For a moment, I was confused.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Chunyu broke the silence first and asked softly.

"Wondering if you've ever looked at the stars with anyone else."

"Yes, I have……"

Ye Jiayao raised her head suddenly and asked seriously, "With whom?"

Xia Chunyu sneered: "It's all in the past, why bring it up?"

"Forget it, you can say it or not, I have watched the stars with others anyway." Ye Jiayao muttered and lay back down.

Xia Chunyu grabbed her and asked, "With whom?"

Ye Jiayao imitated his tone: "It's all in the past, why mention him?"

Xia Chunyu was speechless, stunned for a moment, and asked: "Is it that Wei Liujiang?"

"I asked you the question first, and I will answer only after you answer it." Ye Jiayao didn't want to suffer any loss.

Xia Chunyu said in a muffled voice: "Who else can I follow? My brothers! When it's time to be on night duty or go out to fight, it's your turn to speak."

Ye Jiayao wrinkled her nose with an expression of disbelief. He was already in his twenties, and in this era, he should have become a father long ago. Moreover, he seemed to be very experienced in doing that kind of thing. She was sure that she was not his first woman.

"Well, I also watched it with Qingliu. She was still young at that time and had just been sold into the mansion. She missed home and sat alone in the yard wiping her tears. I felt sorry for her so I comforted her with a few words and also looked at the stars." Xia Chunyu confessed honestly.

"Qingliu? Your maid?" Ye Jiayao knew that for the young masters of wealthy families, their maids were usually the ones who taught them about that kind of thing. For example, Xiren was one of them. If the young master had a close relationship with a maid, she would usually be made a maidservant. If he was luckier, she would be made a concubine.

Xia Chunyu nodded.

"You're on good terms with her?"

Xia Chunyu hesitated for a moment and nodded weakly.

Ye Jiayao felt sour and unhappy. Men are really bad. Why do they have three wives and four concubines and enjoy all the happiness? Don’t they know what it means to be in love with someone special?
"So she is your concubine now?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Xia Chunyu shook his head: "No, I sent her away after returning from Black Wind Hill."

"Why? She has given herself to you, why are you so irresponsible?" Ye Jiayao said contemptuously.

"Letting her go is being responsible for her." Xia Chunyu said.

"Go, she must want to stay." Ye Jiayao sneered.

Xia Chunyu said: "I don't want any women to be jealous of me in the future. One person I like is enough."

His eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and he gazed at her so deeply, as if promising her that she was his only one.

Ye Jiayao's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her brows, and asked with a mixture of anxiety and hope: "Have you found this person?"

"What do you think?" He stared at her without blinking, with the corners of his lips curved and even a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Why are you asking me about your affairs? How would I know?" Ye Jiayao stammered.

Her face turned red but she still said she didn't know. Xia Chunyu sneered at this woman who said one thing and thought another.

"It's your turn to talk. Who did you watch the stars with?" Xia Chunyu got back to the point.

Ye Jiayao held her chin and thought for a while, then counted on her fingers.

Xia Chunyu was stunned. Could there be more than one?
"Hey, tell me."

"Stop making noise, I'm counting!" Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at him.

Xia Chunyu's face turned black. Still counting? And counting for so long?
"My grandmother, my wet nurse, the big yellow dog that the doorman keeps..." Ye Jiayao counted seriously.

Xia Chunyu chuckled out loud.

I knew she was being naughty, but after laughing, I felt a little sad. Imagining the scene of a man and a dog sitting and looking at the night sky, I couldn't help but reach out to hug her and comfort her.

"And Xiaojing, and you...well, that's all for now." Ye Jiayao said seriously.

Xia Chunyu retracted his outstretched hand and asked sourly, "Did you ever watch the stars with Xiaojing?"

"Yes, on the way from Jinan to Jinling, we rested in pavilions and lived in dilapidated temples. When we opened our eyes, we could see the starry sky. We saw it even if we didn't want to. So it should be counted!"

Xia Chunyu narrowed his eyes, feeling depressed and wanting to throw her down. "So that's all for now? Do you want to be with someone else in the future?"

Ye Jiayao looked at his sullen face and laughed in her heart, it turned out that he was still a jealous person.

He said nonchalantly, "Who knows what will happen in the future."

Xia Chunyu held her face and rubbed it, warning her sternly: "There will be no future, and there will be no one else, do you hear me?"

Ye Jiayao felt like her face was about to be deformed by him, and hurriedly said, "Can't I accompany my child to watch it in the future?"

Xia Chunyu found that he was fooled again, but this time he felt very comfortable. He let her go and nodded, "You can have this, but it can only be our child."

Ye Jiayao blushed in embarrassment: "Who will have a baby with you?"

Xia Chunyu's smile was intriguing, and she looked particularly cute when she blushed.

"Oh, time's up, I have to go down and stir it." Ye Jiayao remembered the important business.

Xia Chunyu lay down leisurely, with his hands behind his head: "Go ahead!"

Ye Jiayao leaned over and looked down. Wow... it's so high. How can she get down? This guy was clearly teasing her.

"Hurry up and take me downstairs. If the ice cream fails, I will hold you responsible." Ye Jiayao threatened.

So that thing is called ice cream! Xia Chunyu was unmoved and uttered two words: "Remuneration."

Damn it, you were the one who brought him up here, and you still dare to ask for payment?
"Can you get up? If not, I'll jump down myself." Ye Jiayao said angrily.

Xia Chunyu said slowly, "I think it would be safer for you to ask Jiang Li to bring a ladder. Most people would definitely break bones if they jumped from this height."

You stinky guy, you're still dragging yourself up. Fine, you're so cruel, wait and see how I'll kill you later. Ye Jiayao pounced on him and pecked him on the face: "Is this okay?"

"No feeling." Xia Chunyu was not satisfied.

Ye Jiayao simply gnawed it.

"Ah... are you born in the year of the dog?" Xia Chunyu covered his face in pain and muttered.

Ye Jiayao grinned: "I am a rabbit. There is a saying that even rabbits will bite when they are angry. Do you want to try again?"

"I'm afraid of you." Xia Chunyu got up and hugged her: "Are you ready?"

Ye Jiayao hugged his neck tightly: "Alright, alright."

Before she could finish, Xia Chunyu leaped up and landed quickly. The moment of weightlessness made Ye Jiayao scream in surprise.

The next moment, he was standing firmly on the ground.

Xia Chunyu teased, "You screamed so loudly, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang thought I did something to you!"

Ye Jiayao opened her mouth and started to bite, but Xia Chunyu was prepared and turned his head away, so Ye Jiayao missed her bite.

"What a biting rabbit." Xia Chunyu said with a smile.

The two of them bickered like this for an hour and a half.

Ye Jiayao opened the ice container, took out the ice cream, and scooped a small spoonful with a spoon to taste it.

Wow...it has a delicate taste, smooth and refreshing, with a pure milky aroma, it's really great.

Unexpectedly, it was so successful the first time. Ye Jiayao happily scooped a large spoonful and fed it to Xia Chunyu.

"Try it now. Is it delicious?"

Xia Chunyu took a sip from her hand and savored it carefully. It had a very special taste, icy and smooth, melting in the mouth, sweet but not greasy. He praised sincerely, "It's delicious, much better than crushed ice."

"That's right, crushed ice can't compare to this." Ye Jiayao was complacent. She would continue her research and strive to make ice cream that tastes better than Haagen-Dazs.

Xia Chunyu was not satisfied with the first bite: "Give me some more, I've waited so long, you can't just let me have one bite."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

Ye Jiayao ran back into the house, took out a piece of wax paper, rolled it into a tube, cut a small wavy hole in the bottom with scissors, scooped a large spoonful of ice cream into it, and then squeezed it onto the bowls and plates.

Xia Chunyu watched her squeeze and turn, and soon she made a flower that looked lifelike.

"That's enough." Ye Jiayao handed him the spoon.

"You are the first one in Huai Song to eat ice cream!" Ye Jiayao said with a smile. Not only Huai Song, but he is also the first in this era. There is no one like him before.

Xia Chunyu exclaimed: "You made it so beautifully that I can't bear to eat it."

She is such an amazing person, how can she make so many strange and delicious things?
Ye Jiayao also made a flower for herself.

The two of them enjoyed the ice cream face to face. It would have been perfect with a plate of cookies or tiramisu.

I don’t know if I can make it without an oven. Well, I’ll try it another day.

Xia Chunyu suddenly remembered that night when Xiaojing told the emperor that Yaoyao was going to make ice cream mooncakes, and asked curiously, "Are you going to make this into the mooncakes?"

"Yeah, ice cream mooncakes, isn't that very creative?" Ye Jiayao asked with a smile, tilting her head.

Xia Chunyu has run out of ideas: "I won't find anything you do strange in the future. There is nothing you can't do, only things others can't think of."
