When Ethan Zhao got home, Yena had just finished cooking.
"You're back?" Yena craned her neck towards the living room, "Come help me carry some dishes out." Even though she could figure out a way to get them to the dining table by herself, this would be a very strenuous thing for a wounded person like herself to be doing. Thus, when she heard Ethan Zhao had come back, she immediately pushed this task over to a certain Mr. Zhao.
Ethan Zhao went over to carry the dishes to the dining table, served rice for the both of them, then set the table.
Yena obediently sat and enjoyed his service but didn't forget to press him, "Don't forget to wash the dishes when you're done eating!" When she saw that Ethan Zhao wasn't very happy, she immediately glared, "I'm disabled right now. Do you have so little shame that you would ask me to wash the dishes? Plus, I was the one who cooked!"
'If you weren't my (little master) financial support, This one lady would never lower herself to cook for you!'
Ethan Zhao finally responded, "Alright."
Yena was finally satisfied. When Ethan Zhao started to eat the fish, she stared at him in anticipation.
Ethan Zhao understood and answered truthfully, "It tastes good."
Yena was content and filled with pride.She picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
A moment later, Yena's face froze.
Ethan Zhao could see something wasn't right. He put down his chopsticks. "What's wrong?"
"A fish bone… is stuck…" coughing
Ethan Zhao: "..."
Although he didn't say anything, he helped assist in the struggle for a while because the little girl across him has tearful expression from getting a fishbone stuck in her throat and was unspeakably…
Ethan Zhao held in his laughter and asked, "Is that better?"
Yena released a big breath and wiped away her tears, "Ah! It finally went down! I thought it was really going to kill me!"
Ethan Zhao said, "Are you going to eat this fish?"
Yena shrank back and waved her arms madly, "No! No! I'm not going to eat it. Didn't you say it tasted good? You can eat it all!"
After dinner, Ethan Zhao voluntarily went to the kitchen and washed the dishes. Yena laid on the couch groaning and holding her stomach.
It's all because her cooking tasted too good that she ate too much! Even though she knew that it was best to eat until she was 80% full, but it couldn't be helped that, for her, full counted the same as being stuffed. At the point that she felt full, he was actually 120% full!
Yena rubbed her stomach while hse weakly shouted, "Ethan!" After saying it so many times, she was finally able to say it smoothly.
After Ethan Zhao finished washing the dishes and wiping his hands, he came out, "What's wrong?"
"In a little while, let's go out for a walk!" 'I have been locked up in the house all day!'
Ethan Zhao nodded, "Increasing digestion would be good."
When Yena finished changing clothes, Ethan Zhao carried her onto the wheelchair then pushed it outside.
In the elevator, Yena suddenly realized something. She hurriedly turned her head back, "Right! When we come home, you better not forget to give me a key!"
Ethan Zhao agreed and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Yena responded, "Just around the neighborhood that should be fine."
Yena felt the the weather was nice. The neighborhood garden was not far from the front of the building they were living in. The trees, ponds, fake mountains and pavilions were all well put-together. It was evening; many of the families in the neighborhood had come out for a walk. There were children running to and fro, frolicking noisily. It was a very lively atmosphere.
'It's been days, No signs of the system. I'm really own my own now huh. Seems like I'm given the chance to live freely. But what happenes if'… Yena was worried. But she realized she should enjoy this moment! She could enjoy living as Su Yena in this world. She could do whatever she wants until the system remembers her or whatever.
Ethan Zhao didn't actually like lively surroundings, yet Yena was feeling happy. After being transmigrated, she had been either lying in a hospital or locked inside the house. Now that she could finally get a breath of fresh air, she was so excited.
Ethan Zhao could also recognize this so he stopped walking.
People were looking at them. The two of them as a couple appeared very eye-catching. He was tall and handsome; she was beautiful, charming, and currently in a wheelchair being pushed around. Not long after, an old woman warm-heartedly inquired in concern, "Is your leg injured?"
Yena cheerfully nodded, "Yes, a broken bone!"
The old man said to Ethan Zhao behind her, "You should stew more bone broth for this beautiful lady. That way she'll get better faster!"
Ethan Zhao stroked Yena's hair, and made an "mm" sound.
Yena looked back at him, only to see his gaze filled with an indulgent love. First, she shuddered, then she suddenly realized: Right!! We're in front of others! We better show some lovey-dovey PDA!
'Ethan Zhao, this jerk, is pretty quick on his feet when it comes to acting! But how am I supposed to portray a wife who is deeply in love? I never played this role before.' Yena bit her lip and thought deeply. But she was able to figure out what expression a little wife should have and decided to display a sweet and shy face. "This. He's… very good."
Ethan Zhao, who was behind her, imperceptibly shuddered as well.
A small child unsteadily walked over, then grabbed onto Yena's wheelchair, and looked at her with curiosity.
Yena smiled. This toddler reminded her of her Chuchu. Such a small cute creature. She looked at the little toddler, tried to endure, then finally couldn't help from secretly pinching his pudgy cheeks.
Unexpectedly, the little girl pouted and frowned. She shouted in a baby voice, "Mommy! Big sister pinched meee!"
Yena immediately pulled her hand back. ' Wtf! I didn't pinched that hard! This scheming little monster!'
The child's mother walked over, picked up the kid, but only smiled kindly at the couple. Then, she gently said to the cute little girl, "Oh~ She pinched you because she likes you! Because big sister also wants to have as cute a baby as you for Uncle!"
Holy sh*t! When did I want to have Ethan Zhao's baby?! I simply wanted to pinch your baby's cheek! This is embarrassing!
Yena cried on the inside and urged Ethan Zhao that they should cut and run.
They left the crowds for a secluded area by the lake. Yena ordered Ethan Zhao, "Stop!" Then she started to leisurely push herself in the wheelchair along the walking path next to the lake.
Ethan Zhao sat on a wooden bench next to the lake and watched her.
Yena became tired from wheeling around so she rolled over next to Ethan Zhao. She casually struck up a conversation with Ethan Zhao, "You don't need to do any overtime in your company?" After she asked, she suddenly remembered this guy was the President of the company. He was able to decide for himself whether he worked overtime or not. So lucky!
In contrast, Ethan Zhao answered, "It depends on the circumstances." He paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you bored being alone at home?"
Yena forced a smile and listlessly answered, "I'm alright." Brother! I'm actually very bored!
Ethan Zhao didn't say anything else, but what Yena didn't know was that from that moment on, President Zha, who usually worked overtime on evenings and weekends, would uncharacteristically start getting off from work on time. This filled his secretary's and assistant's hearts with unending respect and gratitude towards the President's wife.
Yena lazily leaned back on the chair looking over the lake. Suddenly, she excitedly shouted, "Fish! There are so many fish!"
Ethan Zhao turned and looked. As it turned out, a school of red and white ornamental fish had just swum by.
Yena continued to praise, "Ah! A high-class neighborhood is definitely different! Even the fish in the lake are a lot plumper than in other places…"
Ethan Zhao's expression involuntarily softened when he saw her excited little face.
Then, he heard the person next to him continue, "I don't know which would be more delicious – steamed or braised?"
Ethan Zhao: "..."
