Chapter 87: Look at Our Shoes!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early in the morning, there were already a few people in the kitchen.
Aunt Wu stood at the door worriedly. The two young women insisted on doing it themselves so she could only watch them. She held the camera, not daring to move as she said anxiously, “Wait. Wait for the pot to heat up! Don’t put cold water on it! That sauce has to be mixed again!”
Lin Xiaowan filled the takeout boxes with desserts. She had a lot of beautiful takeout boxes now that she was going to open up a dessert shop. She said with a smile, “Aunt Wu, you’re too anxious.”
It was not even 10 AM when Huo Zheng came downstairs.
Qin Yanchuan whistled when he saw Huo Zheng and said, “Oh, you’re finally willing to remove your suit? 1 thought it was glued to your body!”
Lin Xiaowan helped Huo Zheng pick out the clothes he wore today. He wore a white shirt, a windbreaker, and a pair of casual pants. As for the shoes, he wore the couple’s shoes she bought previously. The outfit softened his aura greatly.
At this moment, Lin Xiaowan ran over and lifted her foot slightly before she said proudly, “Look at our shoes!”
At the same time, Gu Yuwu stepped forward and covered Qin Yanchuan’s eyes as she said, “1 don’t dare to let Yanchuan see this.”
Gu Yuwu and Qin Yanchuan had never worn matching items before. She knew Qin Yanchuan was the king of jealousy, and if he saw Lin Xiaowan and Gu Yuwu’s shoes, she did not know how he would kick up a fuss.
Qin Yanchuan was not stupid nor was he blind. The couple in front of him was standing together, and their shoes could not be more obvious. He felt a little envious, and he called out, “Baby, I…”
Gu Yuwu’s expression changed and she said through gritted teeth, “Can you speak properly?”
Gu Yuwu did not know where Qin Yanchuan learned it from. He did not call her by her name and would keep calling her ‘baby’ day in and day out.
Qin Yanchuan was a prominent figure. In front of others, he was stern and aloof, but he was completely different when he was with his wife. He said, “No.
1 want to call you ‘baby*. Baby, Baby, Baby…”
Then, Qin Yanchuan continued to say with an aggrieved expression on his face, “Look, they’re wearing matching shoes! I want to wear matching items as well!”
Lin Xiaowan was at a loss. Suddenly, a small light bulb lit up in her mind, and she said, “Why don’t I remove my shoes, and you can wear them?”
H ii
Gu Yuwu said with a smile, “It’s fine. There’s no need for that.”
Huo Zheng was speechless. Then, he looked at Qin Yanchuan with a complicated gaze, his meaning was very obvious.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yanchuan said unhappily, “What’s with that look? Do you think 1 want to wear matching shoes with you?!”
The group of four drove to the western suburbs on their own and did not call for a driver. Excluding Lin Xiaowan, all of them knew how to drive.
It took less than two hours to drive to the farmhouse in the western suburbs. When they arrived, it was just in time for lunch.
The farm was beautiful, and the house was gorgeous. At the entrance, there was a map of the farm on a block of stone.
Behind the house, there was a quiet bamboo forest. After walking past the bamboo forest and turning right, one would see the lake. A narrow red wooden bridge with a small and exquisite pavilion at the end of it extended to the heart of the lake. On both sides of the narrow bridge were clusters of white water primrose.
On the left of the bamboo forest, there was a hot spring. However, since it was summer now, none of them was interested in soaking in the hot spring.
The caretaker of the farm had already set up everything for them. There were all kinds of things like a barbecue stove, karaoke machine with sound systems, fishing rods, baskets, and the likes.
Huo Zheng poured some warm water for Lin Xiaowan and said, “Drink some water.”
Lin Xiaowan’s cup was very cute. It was one of those straw cups that was very popular among kids. Her cup was very big and could hold a liter of water.
After drinking water, Lin Xiaowan ran to the side to fiddle with the karaoke machine with Gu Yuwu.
It did not take long before Huo Zheng brought a plate of fruits over. He knew that Lin Xiaowan wanted to eat snacks, but if she ate snacks now, she would ruin her appetite for lunch.
As expected, Lin Xiaowan said, “1 want to eat that chocolate oatmeal cake.”
“Eat some fruits first.”
Lin Xiaowan knew that Huo Zheng would not allow her to eat the cake now so she said, “Alright.”
“You can have some yogurt.”
After Huo Zheng fed her a cherry, she shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want to.”
The yogurt was homemade. There was very little sugar added, and it was a little sour.
Lin Xiaowan had been eating a lot of desserts recently. It was not too long ago that she had a toothache. After seeing the dentist, he had told her to cut down on her sugar consumption.
At this time, Gu Yuwu took photos conscientiously. At the same time, she clicked her tongue and said in admiration, “See how caring this kind of boyfriend is?”
Unwilling to be left out, Qin Yanchuan tried to attract his wife’s attention. He said loudly, “I want to eat chocolate oatmeal cake too!”
Gu Yuwu rolled her eyes and said, “We have a lot of meat. Eat the meat!”
Yesterday, the chef had prepared a lot of meat skewers for them. Those that were marinated with spicy sauce were packed separately. There were also vegetables. There was a lot of food that they could eat to their hearts’ content.
While the men barbecued the meat, Lin Xiaowan, who lost interest in the karaoke machine, wanted to go fishing. Seeing how eager she was, Gu Yuwu volunteered to teach her.
However, Gu Yuwu herself did not have much experience. She knew they had to prepare the bait and such. Previously everything had been prepared for her, all she needed to do was to hold the rod and wait for the fish to take the bait.
The two young women crouched down and watched a tutorial video.
After a while, Lin Xiaowan, who was watching the video, suddenly said, “I want to eat roasted potatoes!”
Gu Yuwu was stunned by the abrupt change in topic. After a moment, she said, “I don’t think we brought any. I’ll call the caretaker to ask.”
Lin Xiaowan nodded. After that, she rolled up her sleeves and touched the bait. After a moment, she said seriously, “It looks like meatballs. The color and feel are quite similar…”
Gu Yuwu laughed. “Are you very hungry?”
Coincidentally, a gust of wind brought the fragrance of roasted meat over. It was as though an invisible hand had reached out and turned Lin Xiaowan’s head to the source of the fragrance.
Huo Zheng was very meticulous with everything he did. Perhaps it was due to his elegant and noble temperament, although he was just grilling mushrooms, he looked as though he was conducting some amazing experiment.
Lin Xiaowan sniffed a few times before she said, “It smells so good…”
The two young women quickly grew bored of fishing. After throwing the bait into the lake, they waited. After sitting for a while, there were still no movements, and Lin Xiaowan began to yawn, looking drowsy.
Lin Xiaowan ate from the plate of fruit, ignoring her fishing rod. At the same time, she would also feed Gu Yuwu.
Gu Yuwu was amused by Lin Xiaowan.. She said, “We haven’t eaten yet, but you’re already sleepy?”
