In the middle of the night, Mo Nuan woke up from his hunger. During dinner time, because Mo Zixi had stayed out for a long time, the food in the private room was a little cold. Thus, he did not eat much.
He took a look outside the window. It was still pitch black, and reckoned that there were still a few more hours until daybreak. His stomach was growling loudly, and Mo Nuan couldn't help but flip his body.
Lu Chen had always slept relatively lightly, so the moment she made a move, he woke up. His chin habitually rubbed against the top of her head, and with one hand, he pinched her face, "Warm, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry I woke you up." Mo Nuan was a little embarrassed to tell her the reason.
Just as she finished speaking, her stomach made another noise, and it was clearly visible inside the quiet bedroom. Mo Nuan felt that it was very shameful, and her face immediately turned red, this kind of thing had happened more than once, every time she was hungry her stomach would become especially loud.
"Hehe, so it's because I'm hungry."
Lu Chen laughed and turned on the light, he then got off the bed and moved in one go. Mo Nuan immediately grabbed his hand and asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
"I'll go down and see if there's anything else in the fridge. I'll get you something to eat."
Mo Nuan shook his head, "No need, I will endure for a while, it will be daylight soon."
Lu Chen rubbed Mo Nuan's head, "Silly girl, you aren't born in the sixties and seventies, you have to endure even if you're hungry. I'll go down first, you can come back after ten minutes." After saying that, he walked to the wardrobe, found a set of clothes and put them on, then left the bedroom.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Looking at the time, it was only three in the morning, and there was still a bit of time before daybreak.
Mo Nuan laid on the bed for a while before he got up and went downstairs, as if he was worried that she would fall down, and thoughtfully left a night light on the stairs. When Mo Nuan came to the living room, Lu Chen had already finished a bowl of noodles.
"It's just right on time. I was about to go upstairs to get you."
Mo Nuan raised his head. Under the dim yellow light, the facial features of the man dressed in household clothes were extremely gentle, and a mischievous smile appeared in his obsidian eyes. Mo Nuan momentarily forgot to shift his gaze away, and the moment he reacted, he immediately pursed his lips, appearing to want to cover his emotions.
Lu Chen did not expose her, and after helping her taste good, he poured her a cup of hot water.
Mo Nuan's heart was very warm, he rolled the noodles on the chopsticks and started to eat.
Lu Chen sat in front of her and stared at the woman in an instant. Her black hair was let loose, and she tucked her hair behind her ear with one hand, while the other hand picked up the noodles in the bowl and blew on it before putting it into her mouth. When the noodles entered her mouth, the corner of her mouth would curl up, as if she was extremely satisfied.
Such a small action caused him to be unable to stop himself from being dazzled. It was as if time had passed by and there was once a person calmly eating in front of him. When he looked again, the person in front of him was his wife, the woman that moved his heart with a single glance.
Ye Zichen shook his head with a smile as he tried to get rid of those random thoughts in his head. All of this was just a dream come true for him.
Mo Nuan was a little unnatural from his gaze, she raised her head and looked at him, "Are you hungry too?"
"My stomach isn't good, I don't have that much digestive power."
Mo Nuan rolled his eyes at him, "Isn't all of this because of you?"
Lu Chen smiled as he nodded, and then said in all seriousness: "I know, so in order to compensate you, I will personally cook for you."
Mo Nuan let out a light snort, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
"Warmth, I actually have a question that I want to ask you. Many women have small stomachs and small bites of food in front of men. Why aren't you eating?"
Mo Nuan stopped his chopsticks and thought for a few seconds: "You said it too, only your stomach is small in front of a man. Actually, it's not like that, I don't like to abuse my stomach. I don't have to do this to my husband, because I'm used to it. I don't want to pretend, and I can't pretend for the rest of my life. "
Hearing that, Lu Chen smiled slightly, "You sure are open-minded." This girl had always been very open-minded when she saw things.
Mo Nuan swallowed yet another mouthful of noodles before speaking vaguely, "Because I'm not worried about you returning the goods." She held half of his fortune in her hands. If he dared to turn his back on her, she would definitely run away immediately.
Lu Chen shook his head, it seemed like his previous plans were right, materials could indeed make people feel at ease.
Just at this moment, a voice came from the stairs, "Xiao Nuan, A Chen, what are you doing?"
Mo Nuan recognized Zhang Rui's voice and explained somewhat embarrassedly: "Aunt, I'm hungry, so I'm up to cook some noodles."
Zhang Rui walked over and took a look at the contents of the bowl. He knew the worth of his niece, the color and quality of the ingredients Mo Nuan would definitely not be able to bring out. He was overjoyed, but he did not reveal it on his face as he looked at Mo Nuan sullenly, "Girl, if you don't eat properly during the meal time, you will torment A Chen in the middle of the night."
Mo Nuan shrunk his shoulders and continued eating his noodles.
Lu Chen smiled, "It's fine, Aunt. I don't trust this little girl to get up and make food, is Aunt not used to sleeping? "Why are you awake at this time?"
"It's nothing. I was just kowtowing and heard voices. I thought a thief had entered the house, so I got up to take a look." Zhang Rui laughed.
"Aunt, don't worry. The security of the military region's courtyard is pretty good. Very few people can enter, so you can rest easy."
"That's good." Zhang Rui nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he thought of something and explained to Lu Chen: "A Chen, don't get too used to this girl, this problem of hers is a result of working overtime for the past few years. Eating food at night will increase the burden on your stomach, and it's not very good for your body. Mo Nuan often worked overtime, and it was normal for him to work until midnight when he was busy.
The light in Lu Chen's eyes wavered slightly. She glanced at Mo Nuan, then smiled. "I understand, Aunt. I will pay attention."
Zhang Rui walked into the room after he finished giving instructions, he looked at her back and unhappily pouted, then turned to Lu Chen and said: "Lu Chen, why does it feel like my aunt doesn't love me anymore, how can you say words that make me feel hungry, doesn't she know that hunger makes you unable to sleep?"
Seeing her angry look, Lu Chen couldn't help but stand up and walk to her side, pretending to pinch her nose a little. However, he had controlled his strength very well, so he wouldn't hurt her much, "You ignorant girl, Aunt was doing it for your own good.
"I know. You must think I'm in trouble." Mo Nuan said with certainty.
Lu Chen did not refute her, he kept the bowl and chopsticks back into the kitchen to quickly wash. When he came out, Mo Nuan used his hand to support his chin, his eyes almost closed.
Lu Chen lifted her horizontally in his arms. Mo Nuan opened his eyes in shock, and when he saw that it was a familiar person, he stretched out his slender arms to embrace Lu Chen's arms.
