Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

Xiao Re turned her head, glared angrily at the door, and gave him a single word.

"roll!"

Then I continued reading.

Lu Yanzheng was overjoyed when his wife said two things that provoked him.

Even the rhythm of chopping vegetables became much more cheerful.

When stir-frying chicken, the wok bounces high, and the bright red flames leap up and dance, making the tender chicken smell incredibly fragrant.

Soon, the four dishes and one soup were ready.

It has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste; just by looking at its vibrant colors, you can tell it smells delicious.

After Lu Yanzheng washed his hands and served all the rice, he called Xiao Re.

"Rere, dinner's ready!"

I called him that name before, so it came out much more naturally. My face didn't turn red, and my mouth didn't feel awkward anymore.

I even inexplicably felt that the name sounded nice, soft and sweet, just like her at night.

A little wild, a little alluring.

How could I have ever thought her name meant "troublemaker"? It's clearly the name that means "to provoke trouble."

Xiao couldn't provoke him, so he simply told him calmly.

"I won't eat it!"

"It's an agreement that we'll each take care of our own food and clothing. I won't take advantage of you."

"My heart of stone cannot digest Commander Lu's gentle and considerate meal."

"Enjoy your meal, both of you!"

Lu Yanzheng felt a tightness in his heart from her words, a dull and painful feeling, and he was completely helpless.

He leaned closer and whispered his apologies to her.

"I'm not heartless; I was just saying that in anger. Don't be angry."

"This meal was made especially for you."

"Listen to me, come and eat. It won't taste good when it's cold!"

Xiao Re glanced in that direction, licked his lips, and then stubbornly raised his proud head.

"I'm not the kind of spineless person who can be yelled at or cursed at whenever someone wants."

"Who's craving your food? This lousy food is something even a dog would want to eat."

Xiao Re had been eating snacks and canned food for two days in a row, and her mouth was blistered. She had been drooling over Lu Yanzheng's cooking, but she was just being stubborn.

Lu Yanzheng swallowed his pride and coaxed her.

"I know the dog wants to eat, but you don't. Why don't you try a couple of bites? And while you're at it, spit out some bones for Old Cui's dog?"

Lu Yanzheng's words were cunning; he was simply teasing her by taking the opportunity to elicit a response.

Xiao hesitated for a long time, but ultimately decided that saving face was more important than cravings.

She turned her head away, sniffing tightly, refusing to smell that damned fragrance.

"I won't try it! Let that spineless dog starve to death!"

After saying that, she continued reading her book.

As the ancients said, "There are houses of gold and beauties in books," so there must also be delicious chicken legs in books!

Seeing that she was so stubborn that not even eight oxen could pull her back, Lu Yanzheng lost his patience. He asked her one last time.

"Really not going to eat?"

"I won't eat it!"

Xiao's backbone was harder than the chicken bones on that plate.

"Okay! Then you can do it yourself!"

"Hmph! Fine, I'll do it. It's not like nobody can't cook. It'll smell amazing in a minute!"

As he spoke, Xiao Re rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Fortunately, she bought rice, oil, noodles, and some vegetables like radishes the day before yesterday.

The piece of pork was spoiled, and she pinched her nose and threw it away in disgust.

Although the other vegetables are a bit wilted and yellowed, they should still be edible after washing and cleaning.

Lu Yanzheng ate while watching her frantically fuss over something.

She had almost finished eating the chicken on one side before she even started cutting the other.

A huge radish was chopped up haphazardly by her knife, and finally she successfully turned it into a pile of radish pieces of varying sizes.

Afterwards, I could hear her panting as she leaned against the cutting board.

"Whew, I'm exhausted!"

The eggplant next to it was luckier; it didn't turn into pieces, but its skin and flesh separated gloriously, leaving it a bare purple ball.

She felt that the meat inside had turned black and was unusable, so she simply scooped it all out.

But if the eggplant is bruised and then not soaked in water, it's no wonder it turns black.

The luckiest one was the little pumpkin. Perhaps it was because it looked cute that Xiao Re couldn't bear to peel it, so he just split it into four pieces and put it in the pot whole.

Lu Yanzheng tilted his head with great interest, admiring her confident demeanor, wondering what kind of exquisite feast she was about to prepare.

He Yingying, standing to the side, covered her mouth, laughing so hard her teeth almost fell to the ground.

"Hahaha! This is hilarious! I've never seen anyone cook like this before!"

After finally finishing chopping all the vegetables, Xiao Re prepared to light a fire to start the fire.

There was a pile of firewood inside, but I couldn't light it no matter what I did.

Xiao Re stuck out his butt, pouted, and blew himself until he was covered in dust and dirt, finally managing to ignite a spark.

But when she poured a ladle of water into the pot, half of it went out, half of it went out, along with the small flame that she had managed to extinguish with great difficulty.

Xiao Re squatted on the ground and fiddled with it for a long time, but he was really helpless and could only ask for help.

"Lu Yanzheng, come here, I don't know how to do this!"

Lu Yanzheng didn't laugh at her.

He strode over and pushed the dusty little man aside.

In no time, the fire was lit and burned bright red.

Just as he was about to get up, Xiao Re poured in most of a bowl of oil.

Oil dripped down the edge of the pot and spilled out, then whooshed—in an instant, a huge flame erupted.

If Lu Yanzheng hadn't reacted quickly, his hair would have been set on fire.

"Xiao Re!"

"Are you trying to make me suffocate from the fragrance, or burn me to death?"

Xiao Re raised her dark hand and touched her little nose, rubbing it against her originally fair and delicate face, making her look like a little black cat.

"Alright, alright! This is none of your business! I'll handle the rest!"

Lu Yanzheng was a little worried and didn't dare to go too far, so he just watched from the side.

Remind her from time to time.

"Hey, you should add salt now!"

"Oops, you put in too much!"

Xiao Re was already flustered, and listening to him gesturing only made her more annoyed, so she glared at him directly.

"Shut up!"

"Who asked you to teach me!"

Lu Yanzheng didn't dare to say anything more and just watched as she stir-fried a plate of snow-white radish pieces into a messy black mass.

After it was cooked, she even tried to explain it to herself.

"I prefer my radishes a little crispy! They're crunchy!"

Lu Yanzheng suppressed a laugh and gave a thumbs up.

"Hmm! It looks delicious. It should taste great! Eat plenty later."

Knowing that Lu Yanzheng was never nice, and that Xiao Re also disliked him, she once again vented her anger over her poor cooking on him.

"Stand back a bit."

"You're blocking my spark, affecting my performance!"

Originally, seeing that the fire under the stove was about to go out, Lu Yanzheng wanted to add some firewood for her.

It's clear she's already furious, so it's best to stay away. Otherwise, she might blame him for not cooking well.

For the second dish, Xiao prepared boiled pumpkin.

After most of the pot of water was poured in, the few slices of pumpkin, like wooden boats, began to float freely.

The fire below wasn't strong enough, so she waited for ages. When she felt it was almost done, she casually sprinkled in a few handfuls of seasonings, scooped it out of the pot without even tasting it.

And so, a plate of crisp and fresh water pumpkin was ready.

When it came to the third eggplant, she finally decided to add more firewood to the fire.

But the firewood sticks were too long, and she couldn't break them, so she simply stuffed them into the stove.

The fire burned brighter and brighter, and she became more and more flustered as she stir-fried, and before she knew it, she stepped on the stray firewood.

And so—

The person and the pot were turned upside down!

If Lu Yanzheng hadn't anticipated this, she would have been burning up long ago!
