C19 How Should We Rehearse the Love?

Tang Xinran was willing to be flexible and resilient for the sake of the greater good, possessing the patience to endure, much like a prime minister who could steer a ship through his belly. She wouldn't stoop to the level of a pedant!

What did it matter who was stronger or who won a war of words?

As long as the grand scheme succeeded, what harm was there in conceding a little?

Tang Xinran forced a smile, raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, and slowly backed away, speaking as she went, "Don't get mad, don't get upset. It'll affect your intelligence and hinder our plans!... You barely passed the rehearsal, so I'll go make some meat for you to eat!"

Once she was out of Qin Huan's reach, she dashed to the kitchen...

Qin Huan: "..."

Why did he feel like he was punching into a pile of cotton?

Watching the busy figure in the kitchen and smelling the tantalizing aroma of the meat...

Forget it! He was a man and shouldn't quibble with a young woman. He'd discuss it after he'd had his fill of meat!

Tang Xinran was quick on her feet, as the main dishes had already been prepared, and the other stir-fries were chopped and seasoned. True to her word, within ten minutes, four dishes and a soup were on the table!

Gazing at the glistening red-braised pork ribs, the asparagus and beef stir-fry, the Longjing shrimp with chrysanthemum, the stir-fried lettuce, and the green onion fish ball soup, Qin Huan's mouth watered, and his appetite surged.

He sat down unceremoniously and began to eat, his fork moving as swiftly as his chopsticks, unable to stop...

He had tasted these dishes before, but somehow, the meat prepared by Tang Xinran's hands was exceptionally delicious!

Seeing Qin Huan relishing the meal, Tang Xinran wore a smug grin, "How about that? I told you, among my international classmates, I'm known as the 'little master chef'! These may seem like simple home-cooked dishes, but the flavors and nutrition are carefully balanced by me!

Take this asparagus beef stir-fry, for instance. It's designed to boost metabolism and slow down aging. You should have some more..."

Qin Huan was full and looked at Tang Xinran, slowly saying, "So you think I'm getting old..."

Watching the man casually utter each word, Tang Xinran felt an involuntary shiver in her heart. This man was catching on too quickly, his presence growing more formidable by the day!

For the sake of maintaining harmony before executing our big plan, she bit her tongue and bore it.

With a plastered smile and a dollop of flattery, she said, "Not at all, you are the youngest and most dashing man I've ever met. These days may require extra effort from you. I can't let you wither away under my watch, diminishing your divine good looks. If that were to happen, I'd be uneasy even if I regained the company shares..."

Women's words can be so beguiling!

Yet, her deceitful words were well put and quite charming! It was harmless to listen, so Qin Huan once again picked up his fork amidst Tang Xinran's sugar-coated bombardment.

As he indulged in the flattery and savored the exquisite meal, he inadvertently overate!

Having fully indulged in the culinary delights, Tang Xinran stood tall and declared, "Alright, now let's move on to the second phase of our lovey-dovey rehearsal—you're on dishwashing duty!"

"What? Me, wash dishes?"

"Why the wide-eyed look? Isn't it normal for a husband to help wash dishes when his wife has cooked? Is that not a sign of affection? Love is about mutual contribution, you know!

Do you think that love is only about exchanging longing gazes? The most important aspect is the little things you do to pamper your wife! Especially those spontaneous, loving gestures!

We're aiming to cultivate a deep-seated devotion, to foster that profound, tender bond between husband and wife over the next few days. We want you to instinctively prioritize caring for and cherishing me..."
