Free Web NovelChapter 1550: Chapter 1550: Farewell!
"Hmph, you guy, you just love bringing up buzzkill stuff when others are at their happiest," Lin Chuxue pouted, as if Jiang Feng had ruined her good mood.
"Ahem, so what about you? What were you just about to say?" Jiang Feng pretended he hadn’t noticed Lin Chuxue’s resentment and switched the topic.
"I want to ask you, do I count as your woman now? You should answer me seriously," Lin Chuxue stubbornly looked at him and asked.
"...Yes."
How could Jiang Feng say no?
Last night, she tried her hardest to please him, just considering that effort, Jiang Feng couldn’t bear to reject her any further.
"That’s good!" Lin Chuxue beamed happily upon hearing this: "Returning to Jiangdong is alright, as long as you have time, come visit me often~"
Jiang Feng frowned, just about to say something, but Lin Chuxue extended her finger to stop him: "Don’t rush to refuse! I’m saying when you have time, surely you won’t be busy forever?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng knew she was only comforting him, wanting him to cherish her more.
She’s... quite pitiable.
Helplessly, Jiang Feng nodded.
"Hey, you agreed to this, if you come, I won’t let you go away empty-handed, at that time..."
After saying that, she struck a lethally charming pose and even licked the corner of her lips.
Jiang Feng could see she was more captivating than any woman back home!
Once this sultry charm is unleashed, even Bai Zhiqing would humbly admit defeat!
Just then, there was a knocking at the door as Lin Hanqing and Li Yaqin returned home.
Lin Chuxue patted her heated cheeks and went to open the door.
Outside, the couple was grinning brightly; Lin Hanqing was holding a freshly slaughtered and processed turtle in a plastic bag, while Li Yaqin carried various vegetables and supplements.
"We called ahead, didn’t we? Did we interrupt your time together?" Li Yaqin asked with a cheeky smile as she entered.
She knew that young couples nowadays are full of energy and nutrition, often engaging in morning activities, hoping she didn’t interrupt the good times between her daughter and son-in-law.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking!" Lin Chuxue stomped her foot in frustration: "What is this...?"
"Oh, on the way back, we stopped by the market. The food at the hotel last night didn’t sit well since it was mostly drinking, so let’s have a proper homemade meal at noon instead. Plus, Old Lin bought a turtle especially for Xiao Feng..." Li Yaqin said enthusiastically.
"Ahem, I don’t need that!"
Jiang Feng awkwardly scratched his nose; he’d rather not talk about turtles since last night Lin Chuxue was quite responsive, allowing him to release all he needed to. Otherwise, being fed by the in-laws like this would surely make him explode.
"What’s up?" Li Yaqin, puzzled by Jiang Feng’s objection, asked.
"Mom!" Lin Chuxue quickly said, seeing this: "What Jiang Feng means is he can’t eat turtle today because we’re leaving today!"
"So soon? You’re leaving today?" The couple was taken aback, and their great enthusiasm was suddenly hit, feeling a bit at a loss.
"Yes, my company still has lots of work to do, and we’ve been back for three days, so it’s time to return. Besides, we’ve visited the relatives, so there shouldn’t be any major events left," Lin Chuxue explained.
Jiang Feng witnessed Lin Chuxue’s tenderness once again.
She clearly didn’t want to leave so soon, but to comply with him, she took the matter upon herself, so Lin Hanqing and Li Yaqin wouldn’t overthink or be too harsh.
"I see, I and Old Lin hoped you could stay a few more days, but it seems..." Li Yaqin couldn’t hide her disappointment.
"There will be opportunities to come back," Lin Chuxue forced a smile: "I am your daughter, he is your son-in-law, how could we run away? We’ll come back to visit you eventually!"
If it were before, she might not have had the confidence to say this.
But after her efforts last night, she managed to get Jiang Feng to submit and let him promise verbally that she’s his woman.
This way, there would certainly be opportunities to bring Jiang Feng back again.
"True, alright, then let’s have a good meal, sort of as a farewell to you and Xiao Feng," Li Yaqin quickly adjusted her mood and said with a smile.
Then she and Lin Hanqing took the ingredients to the kitchen.
"Um, Mom, Dad..."
Jiang Feng immediately followed them in, called out sheepishly, and then said with a smile: "Let me handle this meal, you both have been working hard since yesterday, so go relax on the couch while I cook a nice meal for you."
In the past three days, Lin Hanqing and Li Yaqin had taken care of him well, and he had yet to repay them.
Although their way of caring for their son-in-law could be debated, it was done with good intentions, and cooking a meal was a way to show appreciation.
"Xiao Feng, you really know how to cook?" Li Yaqin asked incredulously.
"It’s alright, not as good as you two, but shouldn’t be too bad," Jiang Feng replied with a smile.
"Alright, it’s all yours then. My daughter is fortunate; she can’t cook, she’s all thumbs,"
Li Yaqin chuckled, unable to contain her grin, and then she and Lin Hanqing left, deeply satisfied with Jiang Feng, before returning to the living room.
......
After a while, when Jiang Feng finished sautéing, frying, and steaming, and brought out several meticulously prepared dishes, he saw Li Yaqin sitting on the couch holding Lin Chuxue’s hand, having a heart-to-heart.
Lin Chuxue’s eyes were red, obviously crying.
Jiang Feng didn’t need to ask to know Li Yaqin must have been advising her daughter not to work too hard in another province and to maintain the marital relationship. Lin Chuxue was certainly saddened by it.
"Dinner’s ready, let’s eat," Jiang Feng called out with a smile, interrupting their warm moment.
At that moment, Lin Hanqing, Li Yaqin, and Lin Chuxue all got up and went to the dining table.
Seeing the exquisite dishes prepared by Jiang Feng, simply smelling their aroma, they already felt how delicious they were, and all three were amazed. Lin Hanqing said, "Xiao Feng, you say you’re just okay, but your dishes can rival those of a top chef!"
Lin Chuxue was also surprised to discover Jiang Feng’s cooking skills for the first time and couldn’t help but look at him with new admiration.
"Not that exaggerated, as long as you two like it," Jiang Feng said with a smile, distributing bowls and chopsticks among the three.
Lin Hanqing and the other two tasted Jiang Feng’s dishes, each one truly delicious in color, aroma, and taste!
"Great! My daughter’s truly lucky! Xiao Feng, you’re an admirable son-in-law; I just told Xiao Xue to go along with you in everything, be a good wife and mom, and you should be patient with her. She was spoiled by us growing up, so she can be a bit stubborn—please be forgiving!"
Li Yaqin chuckled softly, and then earnestly advised: "Also, regarding conjugal matters, take them in moderation. At home, Old Lin and I can take care of you, but when you’re out, nutrition won’t be as readily available. Especially you, Xiao Feng, don’t exhaust yourself—a strong body needs to know its limits. As they say, there’s never an exhausted field, only exhausted oxen..."
