Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1770: Full and Satisfied

"Husband, hurry up and eat." Xuexue pulled Long Rui to sit beside the table.

At this moment, Zi Xia had sensibly brought over the bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table.

The table was filled with dishes: fish-flavored shredded pork, braised eggplant, West Lake vinegar fish, Red Braised Lion’s Head Meatballs, sauced cured meat, pine nut pig stomach, Buddha Jumps over the Wall, scallion-braised sea cucumber—eight dishes in total, all steaming hot.

Xuexue reached out for the bowls and chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish for Long Rui, and said with a smile, "Try it, it’s delicious."

Long Rui raised an eyebrow, looked at Xuexue, and asked, "Really? How does my wife know it’s delicious?"

"I tried it."

"Didn’t you say you specially bought it for your husband? How come you tried it first?"

"Uh...! This... hehe...."

Xuexue smiled somewhat awkwardly; she hadn’t specially bought it for Long Rui. She even forgot about him while eating. These dishes were forced on her by the shopkeeper of The First Tower Under Heaven, and she had brought them back by chance. But she couldn’t let Long Rui know this. Otherwise, adding the lie to kicking him in the afternoon would be scary. So, her eyeballs rolled, and she said with a laugh, "Taste testing, right, I was taste testing, hehe...!"

"Taste testing filled you up?"

"Yes, I have a small appetite."

"Oh! My wife is really virtuous!" Long Rui glanced at her but didn’t expose her. He reached out for the chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

Xuexue smiled flatteringly: "Hehe...! Is my husband not angry anymore?"

"Why should I be angry?"

"Hehe...! Don’t pretend, the matter this afternoon."

"Oh! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve almost forgotten."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue almost wanted to bite off her tongue. Just why couldn’t she keep her mouth shut? He had forgotten, so why bring it up?

Long Rui looked at her very seriously and said, "I need to solemnly criticize you regarding this afternoon’s matter."

"Oh."

Xuexue lowered her head, appearing very obedient while internally lamenting nonstop. Truly, while heaven forgives some sins, self-inflicted sins lead to suffering.

"You kicking your husband and hurting him is fine, but you also need to consider your own happiness."

"Uh...!" Xuexue grew more confused the more she listened. What was Big Bull saying?

"Isn’t that right? If your husband can’t manage, who will bring you happiness."

"Big Bull, what are you talking about?"

"What’s wrong? Forgot about it?"

"Mm!"

"Do you remember where you kicked me this afternoon?"

Of course, she remembered; she had kicked the most vulnerable part of a man. Xuexue nodded. Suddenly she realized it, and her face flushed crimson, as pretty as the morning glow, quite beautiful.

"Wife, don’t feel guilty. Your husband forgives you." As he spoke, Long Rui picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, and fed it to Xuexue, carefully asking, "Is it tasty?"

"It’s delicious!"

With Long Rui not pursuing the matter of being kicked, even if it wasn’t delicious, Xuexue would have said it was. Moreover, the fish truly was quite tasty.

The couple fed each other, enjoying their meal with affection.

However, it was hard on Long Yi and Zi Xia.

They stood by the side, swallowing hard; honestly, at this Shichen Chinese Time, they were nearly starving.

Nonetheless, as servants, they had to wait until their masters finished eating before they could eat.

Even though outside, there weren’t as many rules as in the manor.

Furthermore, all the way back to the capital, they had eaten and stayed with the masters, but since the masters hadn’t spoken, they remained very disciplined, not daring to make any rash moves.

Finally, Long Rui was full and content, realizing only then that there were two people by the side who hadn’t eaten yet!
