Unexpected Second Chance at Love [5]

CHAPTER 803: There was none left

In the time that everything was happening at Yue Ling and Lu Tian's home, across the ocean on the private island, Yue Ling had finished cooking dinner and set the table. She had prepared garlic ginger chicken, dumplings, congee, stir fry vegetables, fried shrimp, and green beans coated with garlic sauce.

She places the last bowl on the table and slightly pursed her lip. She stares down at the colorful dishes and smiles sarcastically.

"Did I perhaps cooked too much?"

"I can finish it all."

Just as she murmurs to herself, Lu Tian's deep voice sounds from behind. She jumped in surprise and spun around to see a soft smile on Lu Tian's face.

However, behind the smile, she could see the look in his eyes.

It was the kind of eyes that belongs to a greedy person. It is not wrong, but it shows he will eat all the food even if it wasn't good.

She couldn't but chuckle and turns back to look at the table. She pulls a chair out and takes a seat as she gestures to the empty seat across.

"let's eat before the food gets cold."

Lu Tian's smile remained settled on his face. He walks to the seat his wife had gestured to and sat down. He looks down at the colorful dishes, and he sighs inside.

It's been a long minute since he had last tasted his wife's cooking. He can't help but wonder if it's still as delicious as before.

However, even if her cooking skills have degraded because he forbids her from cooking, he will finish everything.

"Don't look down on my cooking."

Yue Ling was quick to read his mind and chuckles. She picks up the ladle next to the warm congee and scoops up a spoonful. She slightly gets up from her seat and pours the contents into Lu Tian's bowl.

"I am still a Masterchef."

She said jokingly before putting a spoonful of congee in her bowl. She then picks up a few pieces from each dish and places them on Lu Tian's bowl.

Sitting back down, she picks up a fried shrimp and takes a bite. She savors the deliciousness of it in her mouth and sighs.

"Ah... how I miss my cooking."

Lu Tian watched her with attentive eyes. He was happy to see her smile happily, but a part of him felt a little disappointed. When he saw the fried shrimp plate, it reminded him of the night they had dinner with his parents, and Yue Ling felt nauseated from a shrimp dish.

A part of him had hoped she would react the same and hint that she is with child. However, this is only his wishful thinking.

He gazes at her smiling face and smiles with her. Children or no children, as long as he has her by his side, that is enough for him.

"What's wrong?"

Yue Ling was just about to eat the congee when she happened to glance across the table. She realized that Lu Tian hadn't touched his food, let alone pick up his chopsticks.

All he did was stare at her like he was staring through her and was immersed in deep thoughts.

She straightened her sitting posture and pursed her lips a little.

"Should I make something else?" free(w)ebnovel

She could only conclude this as it was her who thought to cook these dishes. He had said anything was fine, but maybe there was something he specifically wanted to eat.

"NO. Anything you cook, I will like."

Lu Tian comes back to his senses and assures her. He picks up his chopsticks and starts to eat. He shouldn't let his wife worry. If she knew what he was thinking, it'll only make her sad.
