Slave Husband I Bought (Female Dominant)

Chapter 26

There was still the fragrant pork rib soup that Xu Qi stewed for lunch. Since she left, Ye Lan hadn’t even touched the pot, and the ribs inside had long been tender.

Xu Qi lifted the lid and took a sniff, and just then, a growling sound of hunger came from her companion, not quietly at all.

This immediately caught Xu Qi’s attention.

“Have you had lunch?”

Xu Qi casually asked her husband, who was blushing like blood.

Ye Lan raised his head blankly, glanced at her, and then seemed to remember, but quickly came to a conclusion, “No, I haven’t.”

Xu Qi’s gaze immediately became severe, and Ye Lan’s heart skipped a beat.

He froze there and didn’t dare to speak.

“When I’m not here, you don’t even know to eat?”

Xu Qi said softly.

“I, I forgot for a moment...”

Ye Lan said somewhat guiltily.

Seeing him like this, Xu Qi couldn’t bring herself to scold him. She was afraid of making him feel wronged again, so she just scooped up a bowl full of pork rib soup with a big iron spoon and handed it to Ye Lan without much kindness, “Here, hurry and eat.”

Ye Lan obediently took the bowl and sat down at the table, eating slowly.

“How does it taste?”

After serving herself a bowl as well, Xu Qi waited for him to take a few bites before blinking her eyes, asking with some expectation.

His emotions were too obvious in his eyes, so Ye Lan pursed his lips and replied gently, “It’s delicious. Mistress’s cooking is excellent.”

Being praised by him made Xu Qi happy, so she quickly finished her own bowl. Then she turned to Ye Lan and said, “I’m going to slaughter a pig. The smell might be strong, so finish eating and go back to the house quickly. Don’t get smoked.”

Ye Lan had never seen this kind of scene before, and his face always turned pale. Xu Qi knew he was a little scared, so she just wanted to get him back into the house.

“Okay, I’ll go in after finishing.”

As their relationship became more intimate, Xu Qi found the term “Mistress” increasingly uncomfortable to hear. She always wanted to find a way to change it.@@@@

For dinner, Xu Qi stir-fried pig liver with some leeks. Xu Qi’s family wasn’t short of oil, so the dishes she made were always fragrant.

She poured half of the pig liver into Ye Lan’s bowl, telling him to eat it with rice.

Ye Lan looked at Xu Qi’s expression and seemed hesitant.

Xu Qi smiled and stirred the soup in her hand. “Eat quickly. Doctor Chen said these things can nourish your blood and qi. You need to replenish yourself and gain some weight, right?”

“How can you say such things?”

Ye Lan was so embarrassed that he forgot there were other people outside and just threw himself into Xu Qi’s arms.

Xu Qi was laughing so hard that her chest was shaking. Ye Lan, buried in her chest, became even more embarrassed, squirming.

After laughing, she hugged her husband’s waist tightly, “Let’s go, your wife will take you out to play.”

When the two of them faced the other two people at the door, Ye Lan felt a rush of blood to his head and almost fainted in Xu Qi’s arms.

“How did you come here?”

When Xu Qi saw Xu Qiu coming out, his face looked even worse.

“I just wanted to tell you that I rented a carriage to go to town today, so I won’t ride yours.” Xu Zhi said somewhat awkwardly.

“Oh, I didn’t leave a spot for you anyway.” Xu Qi said expressionlessly.

Xu Zhi: ...

Good job, giving you some face in front of your husband, hmph!

Seeing them like this, with someone still holding his hand, Ye Lan felt too embarrassed to even greet Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu didn’t know what was on his mind, just nodded to Ye Lan and didn’t say anything else.

Today, because Xu Qi had to take her husband in the carriage, there was less meat on top. Just a while after they arrived, almost half of it was gone.

“Hey, girl, why do you always bring your husband over? Aren’t you afraid of him being exposed to the sun and wind?”

Ye Lan lowered his head, while Xu Qi hurriedly explained, “The sun just came out for a while, I’ll take him back soon. He won’t get sunburned.”

Modern people always speak so bluntly. Ye Lan tugged nervously, but Xu Qi remained unmoved, still sweetly embracing his waist.

The uncle beside them couldn’t help but laugh, his eyes full of teasing as he watched them.

“Wife, let me wipe your sweat.”

Ye Lan took a handkerchief embroidered with yellow flowers and wiped the fine sweat from Xu Qi’s forehead.

But Xu Qi took a serious look at the handkerchief, “Is this the pattern you did with the neighbor’s brother-in-law yesterday?”

Ye Lan was shocked, and immediately retracted the handkerchief.

“Hmph!”

Xu Qi thought to herself, I’m not interested in seeing it anyway.

Seeing Xu Qi like this, Ye Lan thought she was displeased, so he quickly said to her, “You said that if I was punished, you wouldn’t be angry.”

He looked very nervous, really afraid of Xu Qi getting angry.

“Who’s angry? I’m not angry at all.” Xu Qi insisted stubbornly, as a man in rough white clothes walked up to her, standing in front of Xu Qi, and spoke as if he hadn’t heard the two of them talking, “Sister Qi, can you give me a pound of meat?”
