Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 15 Life is like a play, it's all about acting skills
Xia Chunyu looked up at the sound, and her eyes lit up. She took off her red dress and wore a moon-white floral jacket and a scarlet pleated skirt. She looked elegant yet charming, and her hibiscus face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of smart and clever eyes made her look like a graceful new lotus, bright and charming. Sure enough, she was more suitable for simple and elegant dress.

"Have you eaten?" Xia Chunyu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Well, after drinking a bowl of porridge, what are you doing? Are you drawing up a battle plan?" Ye Jiayao glanced at the map and saw a place circled by him, which was Xinyi Town.

Xia Chunyu calmly put the map away. She actually knew the battle plan, so he had to be on guard. He couldn't tell anyone his true thoughts.

Ye Jiayao pouted angrily and said, "Even if you show it to me, I won't understand it. Who would care?"

Xia Chunyu leaned back in his chair leisurely, drinking tea, and pointed to the chair below and asked her to sit down.

"Where did you learn cooking?" Xia Chunyu asked casually.

Is he suspicious? Ye Jiayao immediately put on a sad and helpless expression, and said sadly: "I learned it from the cook at home. Although I am the eldest daughter of the Ye family, my father doesn't love me very much. On weekdays, I rarely see my father. Even when I go to visit him in the morning and evening, my stepmother always prevents me from doing so. Sometimes she says that your father has been tired all day and has gone to bed, and sometimes she says that your father is in a bad mood and should not be disturbed. I know that she has another excuse in front of my father. In short, I am a dispensable person in the Ye Mansion. After thinking about it, I went to learn how to cook. Even if I can't see my father, at least he can eat the food I cook. When my father eats the food I cook, he will think of me..."

There is truth in these words. The original owner had learned to cook in order to please her father, but the dishes she cooked were not even worthy of being served to her father, and the matter was later shelved. The marriage between the original owner and the Wei family was only possible because of the power of her maternal grandparents.

As Ye Jiayao spoke, her voice gradually lowered. She blinked hard twice, squeezing out a tear that welled up on her eyelashes, hanging in the air without falling. She vividly portrayed the image of a poor child who was bullied by his stepmother and was unloved by his father and mother.

It is said that life is like a play, and what matters is your acting skills.

Xia Chunyu felt pitiful when he heard her words, but he still doubted the truth of these words. Just when he was about to ask her, he saw her sniffle, wipe away her tears, and laughed at herself: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh, so you always say that I don't look like a lady from a noble family. I am indeed a lady who does not live up to the name. I have never learned any music, chess, calligraphy or painting. I only learned a few dishes from the chef. So, from now on, I can only cook for you, wash clothes, and serve tea."

There were still tears in her eyes, and her smile was indescribably beautiful and moving. For a moment, Xia Chunyu felt sympathy and said, "It's better than having nothing at all."

"Will you dislike me?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Xia Chunyu thought about it, and thought about it again. He had no expectations of her in the first place, so of course there was no question of whether he disliked her or not. However, looking at her expectant eyes, was it too straightforward to say this?
Ye Jiayao complained in her heart: Damn, is it so difficult to answer? I am a rich lady marrying a bandit like you, which is considered a low marriage, and you dare to despise me? I am just being modest, do you really think I am inferior?
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." Ye Jiayao waved her hand angrily and stood up to leave.

Xia Chunyu frowned and said unhappily, "What do you mean you didn't ask?"

Ye Jiayao paused: "I'm afraid of hearing what I want to hear, and I'm also afraid of hearing what I don't want to hear."

"What does this mean?" Xia Chunyu was a little overwhelmed.

Ye Jiayao raised her eyebrows: "In other words, this is a very boring question."

After that, he walked away leisurely, leaving Xia Chunyu confused. After thinking for a moment, Xia Chunyu suddenly realized, damn, is this a boring question? Is it a boring question for her whether he cares about her or not?
Xia Chunyu lost his composure again. He put down his teacup and chased after him.

"Hey, explain yourself clearly. Why is it such a boring question?" Xia Chunyu yelled.

Ye Jiayao was sorting out new clothes and new shoes. She loved so many beautiful clothes. To be honest, ancient costumes were much more beautiful than modern clothes, but they were more troublesome to wear. She had to cover herself tightly in hot weather, so it would be strange if she didn't get prickly heat.

"I have a name, can you please not call me hey?" Ye Jiayao said without raising her head.

"I like to be called that, how about that?" Xia Chunyu said unhappily, "Answer my question quickly."

"You can call me whatever you like, so can I call you whatever I want too?" Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes at him.

"Do you understand that the husband is the leader? I have the right to call you whatever I want, but you don't." Xia Chunyu yelled again.

Ye Jiayao touched her ear and thought: Is this the previous life of the roaring emperor? He likes to roar so much.

"Oh, you admit that you are my husband?" Ye Jiayao suddenly laughed: "I told you, you are so good to me, how could you dislike me?"

Xia Chunyu: “…”

When did he treat her well?
"Don't deny it. You were so careful to help me remove the fat from the buns, and you even went up the mountain to pick creeping grass for me. I heard that this herb grows on the edge of the cliff and is very difficult to pick. Feifei... uh, Chunyu, I will treat you well too, don't worry." Ye Jiayao said, opening the closet, taking out his clothes, and putting her own clothes in.

Xia Chunyu's mouth twitched. Don't worry, he said it as if he was the one who was afraid of being disliked. Xia Chunyu said angrily: "I can't stand your suspicion all day long."

"Whatever you say, I appreciate your kindness." Ye Jiayao sorted out her clothes. The closet was full and could no longer fit his clothes.

"Hey, you've taken over the closet, so where should I put my clothes?" Xia Chunyu said unhappily.

Ye Jiayao looked around and carried his clothes to the Luohan couch opposite: "Put them here first! There are more people in the family, and these things are not enough. Chunyu, go get a cabinet!" Xia Chunyu: "..."

Why did she sound as if he was the extra person?

Xia Chunyu walked over, opened the closet and threw out her clothes. He was really lawless. He actually dared to usurp the throne and occupy the magpie's nest.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to snatch a closet from a woman? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it? You're a man, can you be a little more magnanimous?" Ye Jiayao snatched back her clothes and put them back in the closet.

Xia Chunyu was so angry that he stared at this shameless woman. He was very angry, but he also felt an inexplicable sense of frustration. It was obviously her fault, but he was the one who was too narrow-minded. The ancients said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, which is the eternal truth. Now he can understand why his father would rather go to the border than stay at home and face a group of women. He can hardly handle it with just one person.

Ye Jiayao pouted, acting like a bullied wife, and looked at him sideways.

Xia Chunyu was completely convinced. Once a person loses his shame, even heaven is afraid of him. Forget it. A good man does not fight with a woman.

Xia Chunyu angrily threw his sleeves and left.

Ye Jiayao called from behind: "Chunyu, come back early, I will make you something delicious tonight."

She deliberately rolled her tongue and dragged out the word "于", which made her sound like a stupid...donkey...

Xia Chunyu turned his head and glared at the door. He couldn't live like this anymore.

After making Xia Chunyu angry and leaving, Ye Jiayao proudly made a scissors gesture and hummed a song happily.

They are all bubbles, I burst them one by one...

The third boss was in a bad mood, and the bandits in the mountain stronghold suffered again. It was originally agreed that there would be no training today. Some of them were sleeping, some were playing dice, and they were very comfortable, but they were woken up and interrupted by a burst of urgent horn sounds.

Everyone rushed to the martial arts arena in a hurry, only to see the third in command standing in the center of the arena with a dark face and a command flag in his hand. Everyone knew that the third in command holding the command flag meant that what they were going to practice today was formation formation, and it would be a real sparring, which meant that either they would beat the others down or be beaten down by others.

Suddenly, everyone felt the sky dim, their eyes went dark, and their legs and feet became weak.

Oh my God, what has happened to the Third In Command?

After an afternoon of training, everyone in the field had bruises on their faces and noses. Although they dared not to cry out, they were already wailing in their hearts. After finally waiting for dinner time, Song Qi came to call them to eat again: "Third Master, your sister-in-law wants you to go back for dinner..."

Everyone was so excited that they were about to cry. Damn, my sister-in-law finally came to pick up the person.

Unexpectedly, the Third Master seemed not to hear and shouted loudly: "Long Snake Formation."

The command flag was waving in the wind, and the bandits ran for their lives, cursing in their hearts.

Song Qi was stunned, and remembering what his sister-in-law had said, he gritted his teeth and shouted again, "Third Master, my sister-in-law said that if you don't go back, she will come to call you personally..."

Xia Chunyu's expressionless face finally changed. He thought of her calling his name with her tongue rolled. If she came here and called him, everyone in the village would probably call him a fool behind his back. Damn woman, she's getting bolder and bolder, daring to threaten him.

For the first time in his life, Xia Chunyu felt a little disgusted with his own name.

Peng Wu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Third Master, it's getting late, and my sister-in-law is still waiting for you, how about..."

Xia Chunyu frowned, took the command flag and handed it to Peng Wu.

Peng Wu picked up the command flag and waved it: "Disband."

Everyone immediately staggered around, stuck out their tongues and panted like dogs. Oh my God, if this goes on, we're going to be tortured to death!

Song Qi was very tactful and didn't say a word. He just followed the third in command and laughed secretly. He thought that his sister-in-law's method was effective. Now the third in command went back obediently.

Xia Chunyu was also speechless all the way, thinking about how to deal with her. He should not indulge her anymore. He finally understood that she was definitely not a simple person. She was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. If he gave in one step, she would take two steps forward. If he gave her some color, she would dare to open a dyeing factory. She had described herself as so pitiful before, but in his opinion, her stepmother was no match for her at all.
