Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother

397 Sticking to My Wife

The next morning, Xiaoguo got out of bed. To her surprise, someone had gotten up before her.

When Xiaoguo came out, she was almost blinded by what she saw. The house was spick and span, the floor was clean, the table was neat, and there was smoke coming from the kitchen.

The troughs for the chickens and ducks were filled with food. Even the two puppies had been fed. The cows, donkeys, and horses were eating fresh grass with their heads lowered.

The courtyard was abuzz with energy.

Xiaoguo rubbed her eyes and followed the laughter to the kitchen.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling were squatting in front of the stove with their heads lowered, studying something.

“Why are you up so early?”

Xiaoguo’s voice startled the two of them.

“Sister Xiaoguo, you’re awake?”

Xiao Zhu greeted her with a smile.

Xiaoguo yawned and nodded. “There’s no need to wake up so early. You should rest more.”

She thought that children loved to sleep in. Take for example, Zhuang Zhuang who was usually so hardworking, he was still fast asleep in bed.

“It’s okay. We’re not tired. We slept very well last night.”

As Yu Ling added firewood to the stove, she said, “I usually wake up at this time in the morning. Since I have nothing to do, I thought I’d just get out of bed.”

The two of them didn’t know how to cook either. There was porridge in the pot and a few steamed buns beside it. There were also some pickled vegetables on the plates.

Xiaoguo looked at the two of them and smiled. “You don’t have to get up so early next time. I can do the cooking.”

Seeing that the two children were going to shake their heads, Xiaoguo continued, “If you have stuff to do, you can wake up a little later. Sleep in until you wake up naturally. Then you can go ahead to do whatever you wish.”

Although the two of them claimed that they had slept until they woke up naturally, Xiaoguo didn’t believe their words. How could they sleep well in an unfamiliar place and wake up naturally at that?

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling exchanged glances before nodding and smiling at Xiaoguo.

In fact, they did not sleep well last night. When they were still In a daze, the sun had come up. It didn’t seem right for them to stay in bed and laze around. Hence, the two of them got out of bed and did whatever they could.

Xiaoguo rubbed the heads of the two sensible children. “Let me do it.”

The two children obediently moved aside from the stove. Xiaoguo put on an apron and started preparing some cold dishes.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling fought over the task of boiling the eggs. In the end, one of them helped to light the fire and the other helped to put in the eggs.

Xiaoguo was tossing the shredded potatoes and had just transferred them onto the plates when Jiang Danhe came over. There was still some visible dampness on his body. He looked like he had just washed up.

If there were no dark circles under his eyes, he would be absolutely and utterly handsome.

Xiaoguo took one look and turned away. The smile in her eyes deepened.

Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu took a look and greeted him. Then, they lowered their heads and continued with their work. They froze for two seconds before looking up at him again.

Jiang Danhe was so frightened by the two of them that he almost buckled over. Then, for the sake of his image, he shifted his position, pretending to look like he was doing the horse stance.

Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling looked at the man who had suddenly started working out and nodded in realization. It turned out that he had dark circles under his eyes because of his obsession with training. Brother-in-law was indeed a dragon among the heroes!

Xiaoguo couldn’t hold it in anymore. She immediately burst out laughing.

Although Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling didn’t quite understand why she was suddenly laughing, they could roughly guess. Sister Xiaoguo must have thought that their brother-in-law was so athletic and she must be so proud of him.

“…” Jiang Danhe stopped in his tracks and said with a red face, “I’ll go get Zhuang Zhuang.”

With that, he ran away in a panic.

When she saw him leave, Xiaoguo, being the only one who knew the truth, laughed even harder. She couldn’t let the truth come to light yet. She was laughing so hard that she was almost out of breath. Tears were also streaming down her face.

Xiao Zhu looked at her before squatting down. She was feeling confused.

Yu Ling nudged her and looked at her inquiringly. “What is Sister Xiaoguo laughing at?”

Xiao Zhu shook her head. “I’m not sure. In any case, the pile of potato skins in her hand didn’t look funny.”

The two of them took a few steps away from her, still feeling puzzled. Her brother-in-law was no longer here. Why was Sister Xiaoguo still laughing? It was so strange…

Xiaoguo did eventually stop laughing. She threw the potato skins into the trash can beside her and looked at the two of them. “Let’s get ready to eat.”

After saying that, she looked like something came to her mind. She covered her mouth and started laughing again.

The story goes like this, starting from last night.

Jiang Danhe was a man in his prime after all. Moreover, the person lying beside him was someone he had been thinking about day and night. It was natural that he would involuntarily think about something while lying beside her.

After Zhuang Zhuang fell asleep, Jiang Danhe was having difficulty falling asleep. At first, Zhuang Zhuang was sleeping in between the two of them.

But somehow, their positions shifted, and Jiang Danhe ended up sleeping in the middle.

Jiang Danhe had secretly switched places with Zhuang Zhuang by shifting him while he was asleep. He snuggled up against Xiaoguo’s back and wrapped his arms around her.

Xiaoguo could sense what he was trying to do and was shocked. She moved away from him and whispered, “Zhuang Zhuang is still here.”

“I just want to hug you.” Jiang Danhe’s hand paused before moving to her back. He whispered to her, “… Do you want to?”

Xiaoguo blushed. Even in the darkness, she could feel his burning gaze on her.

“I don’t want to! Go away!”

Feeling embarrassed, Xiaoguo flew into a rage and moved back unconsciously. She happened to bump into him with quite a bit of force, causing him to groan in pain.

“Are you okay?”

Xiaoguo was shocked. Jiang Danhe was usually quite tolerant of pain. He was usually quite calm even when he was bleeding. Why was he groaning over a small bump? Could it be that he had wounds on his body?!

At the thought of this, Xiaoguo couldn’t lie down anymore. She pushed herself up with both hands to check on his condition.

“Have you gotten hurt again?”

“No.”

She couldn’t see his face in the darkness.

Jiang Danhe blushed and held onto his clothes tightly. Seeing his actions, Xiaoguo started to make wild guesses.

Without another word, she started undressing him.

One was pulling off the other person’s clothes with all her might, and the other person was refusing to let go.

Amidst all the pushing and tugging, it was inevitable that there was a lot of body contact. The atmosphere between them became more strange and ambiguous.

When Xiaoguo’s knee accidentally kicked a certain part of Jiang Danhe’s body, the other party let out another muffled groan.

Instantly, the atmosphere froze. No matter how ignorant Xiaoguo was, she could guess what it was. It was obvious that he was… excited.

In any case, the groan just now was also because her butt had bumped into his…

Xiaoguo lay back down shyly and covered herself with the blanket, turning away from his view.

Jiang Danhe wasn’t doing any better either. Logically speaking, it was normal for him to have a reaction when facing his wife and the woman he liked. But why was he feeling so embarrassed at this moment?!

He was feeling so shy…

After tossing and turning all night, he couldn’t fall asleep. His body was burning, and he couldn’t sleep well.

He only felt better when he was pressed against Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo didn’t want to see him suffer, so she simply accepted his tentative approaches.

Throughout the night, other than sticking close to Xiaoguo, Jiang Danhe only touched her in a few spots—he did not go overboard.

He knew the boundaries, so Xiaoguo didn’t stop him. In any case, nothing was going to happen. So be it. She was not going to lose anything.

If one were to ask them about why they were still so reserved and shy? The answer would be, they were still not ready.

After breakfast, Jiang Danhe and Xiaoguo led the horses to the county.

Zhuang Zhuang wanted to go with them, but they didn’t let him. This time, they weren’t going out for leisure. They had something to attend to.

Since she had decided to open a new shop, Xiaoguo had to start making preparations now.

This time, the two of them were going to the county to find a suitable shop.

As for the renovations, it could take a long time. Now was the best time to start preparing. According to the designs she had in mind, the renovation works should only be complete by the end of the year.

Coincidentally, Jiang Danhe was at home now. Xiaoguo felt more at ease with him by her side. When she wasn’t sure, he could help her with her decisions.
