Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

The night was past midnight.

The madness at Tianxin Pavilion has come to an end.

Meanwhile, in the nearby Qiqiao Pavilion, Gu Meng'er couldn't fall asleep.

"Waaah..."

Gu Meng'er hugged the blanket tightly, curling herself into a small ball, her whole body flushed red from her cheeks to her toes.

elder sister……

Lin Mo...

you……

What on earth are you doing?!

Gu Meng'er was so embarrassed she almost fainted, and could only bury her head tightly in the pillow.

She wrapped herself even tighter in the blanket, as if that would shut out the strange feeling that made her feel so ashamed.

But... it's completely useless!

woo woo woo...

……

The next day, just as dawn was breaking.

Lin Mo opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

He turned his head to look at the little wildcat that was still sleeping beside him.

At this moment, Gu Ling'er's usual boisterous and loud personality was gone.

A faint blush graced her adorable little face, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She clung to the blanket like an octopus, with one long, snow-white leg dangling restlessly outside.

On her other leg, she was still wrapped in battle-damaged black stockings.

Lin Mo couldn't help but reach out and pinch her blushing face.

This girl is a nightmare when she's being energetic, but she's quite adorable when she's asleep.

Just then, a familiar system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Gu Meng'er's mental state is under severe shock and her emotions are extremely unstable. A special mission has been triggered!]

[Task Name]: Calm the frightened little rabbit

[Task Content]: Gu Meng'er's heart is suffering an unbearable burden. Please feed her calming lotus seed soup to soothe the ripples in her heart! (Click here to receive task materials)

[Task Reward: Unlock Gu Meng'er's hidden attribute - "Heavenly Fragrance Body"!]

Lin Mo was taken aback.

This is the first time I've received a system task.

Moreover, is the effect of synesthesia really that strong?

He was so preoccupied with himself last night that he almost forgot about this.

The thought of Gu Meng'er's suffering last night filled him with a deep sense of guilt.

Gu Meng'er is also my wife. She's been treated like this, so I have to take good care of her!

And... the Heavenly Fragrance Body?

I never expected Gu Meng'er to have this hidden attribute?

Lin Mo made a quick decision and got out of bed.

He had to go check on the frightened little white rabbit.

By the way, try out that amazing cookbook I got yesterday!

……

Fifteen minutes later.

In the kitchen of Dingbei Prefecture, Granny Wang and several cooks stared at Lin Mo in disbelief.

Their incomparably noble master was standing in front of the stove, wearing an apron.

His movements were so fast they were dazzling.

He held a lotus seed in his left hand, and with his right index and middle fingers together like a sword, he gently poked the bottom of the lotus seed!

"puff!"

A bright green lotus seed heart flew out with perfect precision from the other end and landed steadily in the empty bowl next to it.

The entire process was so smooth and fast that it left afterimages.

Aunt Wang rubbed her presbyopia, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.

My God! Master's hand speed... did he practice at some brothel?

No, no, why would the master go to a place like that! This must be a special talent!

Lin Mo had no time to pay attention to the servants' shock.

He's having the time of his life!

The talent "God's Hand" is simply born for cooking!

With the recipes from "The Dessert Recipes of All Realms" combined, he felt like he was a god of food descended to earth!

Soon, a steaming bowl of "Tranquil Lotus Seed Soup" with a delicate aroma was freshly made.

The fragrance, just a whiff, brings a sense of peace and dispels all worries.

"Done!"

Lin Mo packed the lotus seed soup into a food box with satisfaction, and left the kitchen with a flourish under the admiring gazes of Aunt Wang and the others.

……

Qiqiao Pavilion, at the entrance to Gu Meng'er's bedroom.

As soon as Lin Mo approached, he heard a suppressed, kitten-like whimper coming from inside.

His heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, it seems the commotion last night was really quite significant.

Gu Meng'er is still not over it.

He quickly raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

Fifth Sister-in-law, are you alright?

The sobbing inside the room stopped abruptly.

Immediately following was a series of clanging and clattering sounds, as if someone had fallen off the bed.

A while later.

Only then did Gu Meng'er's soft, weak voice come from inside the door.

"Uncle... Uncle? What brings you here?"

Lin Mo, carrying the food box, spoke in a gentle tone.

"Fifth Sister-in-law, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Last night, your sister and I got a little carried away and neglected your feelings." "I specially made lotus seed soup for you, which can help calm your mind."

Inside the door, there was a deathly silence.

Gu Meng'er froze completely.

[Gu Meng'er's inner thoughts]: Uncle... he... he really did... with my sister last night...! Ahhh! So embarrassing! Waaaaah...

Lin Mo suppressed a laugh and continued to tempt her with delicious food.

"Fifth Sister-in-law, I made this lotus seed soup myself. I guarantee you'll never forget it after just one bite."

"Open the door quickly, or it'll get cold."

As he spoke, Lin Mo opened the food box.

A strange, pleasant fragrance drifted in through the crack in the door.

Gu Meng'er sniffed, and the delicate fragrance that entered her nostrils calmed her previously restless heart.

smell good……

My uncle...

Did you cook this for me yourself?

A sweet feeling welled up in Gu Meng'er's heart.

She hurriedly put on her clothes, opened the door a crack, and peeked out half of her head.

Gu Meng'er was wearing a thin white nightgown, the neckline of which was slightly loose, revealing her delicate collarbone. Below that, there was a dazzling expanse of milky white.

Because she hadn't slept well all night, her hair was a mess, with a few strands sticking to her pale face, her eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was red as well.

She looked like a little kitten shivering after being soaked in a downpour.

They looked so pitiful, it melted my heart.

"Uncle..."

Seeing her like this, Lin Mo felt even more guilty.

He pushed open the door and went in, placing the lotus seed soup on the table beside the bed.

"Quick, drink it while it's hot."

"I……"

Gu Meng'er wanted to say something else.

"obedient."

Lin Mo didn't give her a chance to refuse and directly shoved the spoon into her hand.

Gu Meng'er had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed and sip the drink slowly.

The lotus seed soup melted in her mouth, and a warm, sweet current slid down her throat, instantly spreading to her limbs and bones.

Gu Meng'er felt as if she were soaking in a hot spring, and the warmth soothed all her fatigue and heat.

The feeling of shame and indignation that had previously made her want to die also miraculously disappeared.

I felt calmer and more comfortable than ever before.

Gu Meng'er's expression became serene and peaceful.

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

This is truly a divine recipe; the effects are immediate.

He opened the system panel, ready to claim his reward.

As a result, the panel still showed the grayed-out text "Task in progress".

[Mission "Comforting the Frightened Little Rabbit": In Progress...]

Lin Mo: "?"

Wait, what's going on?

I've drunk the lotus seed soup and calmed down, so why isn't the mission finished yet?

System, are you bugging?
