Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 4: Taking advantage of others
Just when Xia Chunyu was about to lose his patience, Ye Jiayao limped back with a plate in her hand.

"Why did you take so long?" Xia Chunyu looked unhappy.

Ye Jiayao resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Damn it, if you want it quick, give me two cucumbers to nibble on.
"There's no food in the kitchen, so I made it temporarily." Ye Jiayao opened the lid of the bowl, filled it with soup and set out the chopsticks.

An alluring aroma filled the air. Xia Chunyu walked over to take a look. It was a bowl of egg fried rice that looked very good. The rice was orange-yellow and shiny, but not greasy enough to make people feel sick. The rice was mixed with meat, carrots and cucumber cubes of uniform size, and finely chopped egg flowers and mushrooms. The color combination was very appetizing. Xia Chunyu couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but he said disdainfully, "What a mess. Can I eat it?"

Ye Jiayao complained in her heart: Damn it, I made it for you and yet you complain about it, if you have the guts, don’t eat it!

But he said with a fake smile: "There is no other ingredients in the kitchen, so I can only make this. Third Master, just eat it. It's better than going hungry."

Before they finished talking, they had already started eating.

Well, it tastes good, the beef is smooth and tender, the carrots and cucumbers are crisp and refreshing, the taste is just right, not greasy, and it is actually not worse than the eight-treasure rice made by the imperial chef. Well, maybe it's because he's hungry, so he thinks it tastes good, how can it really be compared with the imperial chef?

But it was still pretty good. It was the most exquisite food he had eaten after going up the mountain. His stomach had been the most aggrieved in the past six months.

Ye Jiayao ate while peeking at his expression. Damn, is it that bad? He was frowning.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Ye Jiayao asked in a low voice.

"It's just so-so." Xia Chunyu gave a nonchalant evaluation.

Ye Jiayao sneered in her heart, thinking that he was really picky.

"What's your name?" Xia Chunyu took a sip of the soup. It was light, sour and sweet, perfect with the fried rice.

Ye Jiayao was so upset. They had already had sex, and now he remembered to ask for my name. Could anything be more ridiculous than this?
"Ye...Jinxuan, my nickname is Yaoyao." Ye Jiayao almost gave the wrong name.

Xia Chunyu glanced at her and said, "This wedding dress is quite exquisite. They really take it seriously."

What does that mean? Ye Jiayao grinned and said, "I embroidered it myself. It's just so-so."

"You embroidered it yourself?" Xia Chunyu was slightly surprised. "I heard that you were found by the Second Master. Where are you originally from?"

"Found? I was kidnapped and brought up the mountain. I was going to Jinan to get married, and I don't know what the situation is like at home now. The bride was kidnapped, and it must be a mess." Ye Jiayao said angrily.

Xia Chunyu was stunned. Was it really stolen? Wasn't it specially arranged by the boss?
Ye Jiayao saw that he seemed very surprised. Could it be that he didn't know about it? After a while, she said hesitantly, "Third Master, please be kind and let me go! I am not the daughter of an ordinary family. My father is Ye Bingrong, the co-governor of Yangzhou Prefecture. I was supposed to marry the eldest son of the Wei family in Jinan Prefecture. If they knew that I was robbed, they would really come to my house, which would be bad for your village. If you let me go, I will be grateful for the rest of my life and set up a longevity tablet for you."

What a longevity tablet, he's not dead, Xia Chunyu smiled coldly: "Why? You still want to marry the eldest son of Wei?"

Unexpectedly, she had a prominent background. She was the daughter of the co-magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture and the wife of the prefect of Jinan. The boss was indeed a big shot. However, compared with the numerous crimes committed in Heifenggang, robbing the prefect's daughter-in-law was nothing big.

If what she said was true, he could not just walk away after being done with the job. If she was well-behaved, he could consider taking her as a concubine after he left. Being his wife was not enough.

However, this is just her family's opinion, and the truth remains to be verified.

"No, no, I'm already a broken woman, how can I marry Master Wei again? I just want to go back to Yangzhou and never marry in this life." Ye Jiayao looked at him pitifully.

The ancients valued reputation the most. Who would want a woman who had lost her virginity? She still had this understanding.

Xia Chunyu sneered, "Do you think the Ye family will still tolerate you if you return to Yangzhou? Maybe your father will strangle you to death to preserve the reputation of the Ye family."

Ye Jiayao's scalp went numb. It was impossible, right? Although her biological mother had died long ago and her stepmother didn't like her, she was still her father's daughter after all. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs!

"Don't look like you were struck by lightning. I'm not exaggerating." Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and finished the last bite of rice in the bowl.

"Then...then I won't go home. I can support myself without the Ye family." Ye Jiayao felt a chill in her heart and had already believed what he said.

This was met with another sneer from him: "How do you support yourself? Sell your smile or your body? If you want to sell your body, then do it here. It's not easy to find a patron like me."

Ye Jiayao was so angry that her face turned blue. She really wanted to pour tomato and egg soup on his head and spray rice all over his face. How could there be such a bad person? What did he think of her? He was simply a living bandit. Uh... He was a living bandit, and he was also a bandit leader. How could he reason with a bandit?
"You're not full. Can't eat anymore?" Xia Chunyu said as he took her bowl.

Ye Jiayao: “…”

"Who said I can't eat? Didn't you say it wasn't tasty? Why did you eat so much? Be careful or you might die of overeating." Ye Jiayao pounced over swiftly and snatched the bowl back fiercely.

Xia Chunyu didn't expect that she would really come to snatch his job, and with the momentum of a hungry wolf pouncing on its food. The job he had just got was snatched back again.

The daughter of the Yangzhou prefect, a lady from a noble family, was actually so rude? Xia Chunyu found it incredible. This action completely overturned his understanding and definition of the term "lady from a noble family".

Xia Chunyu frowned and glared at her. It wasn't that his eyes were fierce. He was serious and expressionless, but he had a powerful aura without anger. This was the aura that was born with a superior. Ye Jiayao thought that she was still in the wolf's den and her life was in his hands. She immediately extinguished her arrogance and compromised weakly: "I've eaten the top one, how about I give you half of the bottom one?"

Just now, she was so busy talking that she didn't eat much. She always chewed her food slowly. Good food needs to be savored carefully. Even white rice can taste sweet after chewing it slowly. She had to leave some food for herself anyway.

Xia Chunyu snorted, "No need, go get me another bowl."

Ye Jiayao: “…”

He whispered, "The rest is probably already in Song Qi's stomach."

Xia Chunyu's face turned black. Why didn't he take all of it? He was a man. Did she think he had the same small stomach as her? Just a small bowl of it?

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ye Jiayao silently pushed the bowl over.

Xia Chunyu didn't hesitate to pick it up and put half into his own bowl, and gave the remaining half back to her.

Ye Jiayao secretly felt lucky that they didn't kill them all and left some for her.

This time, Ye Jiayao didn't dare to chew slowly, in case he finished eating and came to snatch her food again, so she started eating in big mouthfuls.

After a while, both of them had finished their bowls. Xia Chunyu still felt unsatisfied, while Ye Jiayao was only half full.

Before taking off clothes and going to bed, Xia Chunyu said: "Just stay in the mountains quietly and don't have those unrealistic thoughts. As long as you are obedient, I will not treat you unfairly."

Ye Jiayao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What do you mean by not treating me unfairly? I was almost killed by you today? So this is preferential treatment?

Xia Chunyu leaned back on the bed, raised one leg, hooked his finger at her, and looked at her as if it was a matter of course.

Did they mean to ask her to help take off her boots? Ye Jiayao complained a hundred times. Although she was not born in a wealthy family in her previous life, she was also raised by her parents with love. Although her life was not very satisfactory, she was still a rich girl who was raised by others. This was the first time she had served others in her two lifetimes.

Forget it, forget it. You are trapped in a wolf's den and living under someone else's roof. You should bow your head when you should. A tough woman should also be able to bend and stretch.

Ye Jiayao reluctantly moved over to help him take off his boots.

Damn, why are these boots so tight? Ye Jiayao tried to take them off twice but couldn't.

Only then did she realize that the dead man was hooking his instep, clearly trying to make things difficult for her.

Xia Chunyu put his hands behind his head and watched her idly as she tried to take off her clothes.

If she had a knife in her hand right now, she would chop off his stinky feet, Ye Jiayao thought angrily.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull hard.

At this moment, Xia Chunyu's instep slipped, and Ye Jiayao fell to the ground holding her boots, sprawled out.

Xia Chunyu laughed out loud, and suddenly felt that it was really fun to have someone to tease.

Ye Jiayao was furious, and reflexively did what she wanted to do most in her mind. She picked up her boot and smashed it into his face.

Xia Chunyu never expected that she would hit him, and he was laughing happily, so he didn't pay attention, the boot flew straight to his face and hit his open mouth with a bang.

For a moment, the room was unusually quiet, as if the air had stopped flowing. Ye Jiayao glared at him angrily, and Xia Chunyu seemed to be stunned. After a few seconds, anger overflowed from his eyes and his gaze gradually became sharp.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Ye Jiayao immediately became intimidated. She obediently got up and took off her other boot.

Xia Chunyu did not move, letting her take off her boots. When the boots were off, he stood up, stretched out his long arms, pulled her over, threw her on the bed, turned over and pinned her down, and said viciously: "No one has ever dared to throw boots at me."

Seeing him look like he was going to eat someone, Ye Jiayao wanted to die. She cried and said, "I was wrong. I was wrong, isn't that enough? I have never done such a thing at home. I was always served by others. I couldn't change my identity for the time being. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

"Spare you? You should be prepared to accept punishment if you dare to throw a boot at my face. Do you think you can get away with it just because I'm polite to you? You won't learn your lesson if I don't teach you a lesson." Xia Chunyu was unmoved and really angry. If this got out, he would be in trouble for being the son of Marquis Jing'an who was hit in the face with a boot by a woman.

"I've remembered it. I absolutely won't do it again. Ahhhh... spare my life..."

"It's no use begging for mercy..."

Outside the house, Song Qi, who had eaten and drunk enough and was leaning against the railing and patting his stomach, heard the screams of his new sister-in-law and thought with sympathy: It turns out that the third master is also a beast...
