Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes widened when she heard that. Then, she slowly put the small orange petal into her rosy little mouth, took a few bites, swallowed it, and sat up. "What does this mean?"
"Why should she expect you to take care of them? You're just their half-brother, not their parents. How can she be at ease about this?"
Lu Yichen raised his head when he heard that. He glared at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "How can you say that?"
Kang Xiaoqiao licked her lips and pouted. "It is what it is."
When Lu Yichen saw Kang Xiaoqiao's adorable appearance, he shook his head helplessly and said, "You don't have to care about these things. You just have to do what you like every day and be happy."
Kang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "People say that marrying into a rich family will lead to scheming and fighting."
"With your Lu family's family background, not only are you rich, but you're also a general. You don't even need me to fight? Is this really good?"
Lu Yichen couldn't help but laugh as he scratched Kang Xiaoqiao's little nose and said, "Where did all this nonsense come from, and you're even fighting at home?"
"Then... let's eat these melon seeds today. Don't eat too many oranges, it's too hot."
"What do you want to eat tonight, I'll go make it for you."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she said, "Really?"
Lu Yichen nodded, and Kang Xiaoqiao instantly said happily, "I want to eat grilled fish--"
The Moment Lu Yichen drank a mouthful of water, he immediately spat it out. Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough--
It wasn't Lu Yichen's fault for acting this way. He really recalled his experience of roasting fish in Moon Bay back in the ministry. It was really--
Thinking about it, how long ago was that?
Kang Xiaoqiao helped Lu Yichen wipe the water while her eyes lit up. "Yichen, not only do I want to eat grilled fish, I also want to eat grilled meat. Also, I don't want to eat it in the house."
"Yichen, look, it's still snowing outside. Can you roast it outside in the courtyard?"
"It's snowing heavily. Sitting outside in the snow, roasting meat over a charcoal fire, and warming a pot of bamboo leaves. Isn't it very artistic?"
Lu Yichen looked at Kang Xiaoqiao, who was getting more and more enthusiastic as she spoke. For some reason, he actually felt that what she said made sense.
He did it as she said--
The two of them divided their work and worked together. Kang Xiaoqiao commanded, and Lu Yichen cut the meat, pickled it, washed the vegetables, set the plates, and burned the wood and charcoal...
Under the reasonable and orderly command of Kang Xiaoqiao, everything was completed perfectly.
Uh... If you asked why Kang Xiaoqiao didn't work, and why only Lu Yichen was busy... Cough, cough, needless to say, Lu Yichen doted on his wife.
She didn't know what Lu Yichen had been through these past few years. Originally, Kang Xiaoqiao wanted to teach Lu Yichen a lesson, but before she could use it, this guy was very prescient and sent his love rival away.
Yes, Tao Zhengze was taken away by Lu Yichen.
From Lu Yichen's point of view, this Tao Zhengze was his biggest enemy at the moment, so he didn't appear beside Kang Xiaoqiao. Therefore, Kang Xiaoqiao didn't have the chance to plant a grassland on Lu Yichen's head.
What? Didn't you say that other than Tao Zhengze, there were a lot of men in the outside world?
Eh, Kang Xiaoqiao also felt that it was very difficult. She had to find someone she liked. In the end, there was a little brother who looked pretty good just now. She didn't know who was lacking in virtue, but he could always make some disgusting things out of her.
After all this, Kang Xiaoqiao's desire for revenge slowly faded. With the disappearance of Lu Yichen, Kang Xiaoqiao gradually lost the mood and put all her energy into her education career.
Now that Lu Yichen had returned, he had become such a wife-spoiling devil. He was meticulous towards Kang Xiaoqiao. Kang Xiaoqiao once suspected that this person had been replaced.
However, after spending a long time together, Kang Xiaoqiao had given up on this idea. It seemed that Lu Yichen had really changed.
She just didn't know what he had experienced in the past three years.
In the courtyard, the fire had already started. On top of it was a large roasted leg of mutton. Now that it had been roasted until it was golden, the fragrance had spread far and wide.
On the small stove, the fragrant roasted fish was about to come out of the pot. Meanwhile, Lu Yichen and Kang Xiaoqiao were sitting on both sides of the small square table.
At this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao was slowly filling up the still steaming bamboo leaves from the warm wine pot for Lu Yichen and pouring some for herself.
Although it was cold outside, Kang Xiaoqiao was really wearing a lot. The two of them sat on the ground, and the floor was covered with a thick and wide wooden stool that Lu Yichen had made to isolate the cold air. There was also a thick cushion on top.
Kang Xiaoqiao took out a red cloak with a hat from somewhere. Her hair was simply tied behind her head. When the wind blew, the classical beauty was very artistic. Lu Yichen was stunned when he saw her.
This little girl was really torturous.
Although Kang Xiaoqiao also felt a little cold, this feeling of cosplaying was really amazing.
Hence, she raised her wine glass with both hands and said to Lu Yichen, "Brother Lu, this first glass of wine is a toast to you. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away. You and I have met, and it's a blessing from heaven. You drink first, I'll do as I please."
Pfft--
Lu Yichen couldn't help but laugh. Then, he raised his wine glass and took a mouthful of wine. Meanwhile, Kang Xiaoqiao took a small sip of the wine glass.
At this moment, Lu Yichen had already brought the grilled fish up and said, "The fish is cooked, hurry up and eat--"
Kang Xiaoqiao immediately picked up her plate with both hands and took the grilled golden fish that Lu Yichen handed over. She said, "It's so fragrant, it must be super delicious."
"Oh, right. Yichen, about that, don't forget my grilled golden needle mushroom -- and my oysters, scallops, prawns--"
Lu Yichen's mouth twitched. "Don't worry. I've grilled it for you, but you're not allowed to eat too much seafood. It's too cold--"
Kang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "Why are you still paying attention to my health?"
Then, as she ate, she asked curiously, "Hey, Yichen, what have you done in the past three years? I feel like you've changed a lot."
When Lu Yichen heard this, his expression did not change. "Changed better? Or worse?"
Kang Xiaoqiao tore off a piece of fish and placed it in her mouth. As she ate, she thought about it. When she finished eating the fish, she nodded and said, "It's considered good... You're much more thoughtful than before. In the past, hmph, you were just a piece of ice that would not melt for a thousand years."
When Lu Yichen heard this, he stopped what he was doing. He sighed and did not say anything. He continued to roast the food.
How was he going to tell Kang Xiaoqiao that he had met a comrade-in-arms? This comrade-in-arms was someone who loved his wife very much. Every day, he would repeat whether his wife had this, whether she had that, whether she wore more clothes, whether she ate less...
Lu Yichen felt that this comrade of his was simply a wife-obsessed person. His wife was strict, and he had to think about his wife at home no matter what he did. For this reason, he had almost had enough of him. However, one day, that comrade of his asked him how he treated his wife.
