Chapter 1013 - 269: Pei Danqing: Really Want to Have a Baby!

Tonight, the two of them decided not to eat out but to buy groceries and cook at Chi Linyue’s place.

So Xu Lin drove straight to the market.

In a big city like Jiangdu, there are naturally those shiny, well-renovated markets, where the smell isn’t so strong when you buy groceries.

But those who often buy groceries know it’s better to go to the universally smelly markets.

The food there, at least, is fresh, whether it’s vegetables or meat, even though the market does smell a bit.

For example, if you want to buy chicken, you can ask for a freshly slaughtered one.

Xu Lin asked for a castrated rooster.

This is a free-range chicken, weighing about six jin.

When Xu Lin bought it, the chicken was still in a cage. It’s not easy to get authentic free-range chicken in the big city, so although this one was less than six jin, it cost over four hundred.

Xu Lin asked the vendor to help kill and clean it, as they didn’t have the habit of eating chicken organs.

After buying the chicken, Xu Lin went to buy beef.

Pei Danqing saw Xu Lin asking for five jin of beef.

"Can we eat that much? And we already have a chicken, there are only three of us."

"I could eat it all myself, and when you cook beef, it shrinks anyway."

"Alright then."

"Is the market smelly?"

"A bit, but it’s okay."

Pei Danqing is a true heiress, so it’s a bit of a stretch for her to come to the market.

But Pei Danqing isn’t too spoiled.

Besides, hanging out with Xu Lin, she doesn’t put on any airs; Xu Lin has already trained her to be quite obedient.

A woman’s airs are relative; a shrew from a poor family, if she marries into a powerful family, might just become the so-called virtuous wife and loving mother.

In the next half an hour, Xu Lin and the others bought more groceries, including a not-too-big fish, some vegetables, and seasonings needed for cooking and making soup tonight.

When the two arrived at Chi Linyue’s house, it was already past six in the evening.

In mid-October, past six in the evening, it was almost dark.

When they got home, Chi Linyue had already put the rice in the rice cooker, just waiting for the two of them to arrive.

"Qingqing, long time no see!"

Chi Linyue, seeing Pei Danqing appear, immediately had a mischievous smile.

The last time the two met was at the end of last year; it had almost been a year in the blink of an eye.

Though they chatted a lot in group chats, it wasn’t the same as seeing each other in person.

So, Chi Linyue directly gave Pei Danqing’s butt a slap.

"Qingqing, your butt seems to have gotten bouncier!"

"You’re so improper!"

Pei Danqing gave her a glare.

Chi Linyue chuckled, flowers blooming with her smile, and one hand couldn’t resist pinching Pei Danqing’s butt.

Chi Linyue’s bottom was slightly larger, broad and round, while Pei Danqing’s was more perky, also round; both had perfect figures, just their own unique traits.

Pei Danqing spoke up: "Chi Linyue, come, let’s wash the veggies!"

"Here I come!"

The chicken and beef had already been prepped at the market, so it was just a matter of washing them before cooking.

Tonight’s chicken dishes were three: mushroom chicken, white-cut chicken, and chicken soup.

The two of them could cook, they weren’t the type to shy away from kitchen duties.

In fact, Xu Lin didn’t like women who were truly pampered, like those who never did any kitchen chores.

Joking aside, once you’re through my family’s door, you don’t have to cook often, but you can’t not know how to cook.

Pei Danqing and Chi Linyue transformed into cooks, busying themselves in the kitchen.

Xu Lin didn’t need to help; he just waited for dinner.

Besides, the two were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, so Xu Lin thought it was better to stay out of it.

But I have to say, with both of them wearing aprons, they looked like charming chefs: it was quite a sight.

An hour and a half later.

Chi Linyue called out to Xu Lin: "Xu Lin, come taste the chicken soup and see if it’s seasoned enough."

Xu Lin came over.

The chicken soup had taken the longest, simmering for an hour and a half before being opened, and it smelled delightful.

Xu Lin tasted it.

"It’s a bit bland, add a pinch more salt," he said.

The two women weren’t professional chefs. In Xu Lin’s opinion, as long as they didn’t act like those silly heiresses in domestic dramas who put half a jin of salt in their dishes, it was fine.

Chicken soup usually takes about an hour at most, but the taste, when made by amateurs, is just okay.

Xu Lin didn’t have high demands; as long as it was drinkable, it was fine.

Chi Linyue tasted it, too, and found it indeed a bit bland.

So she added some salt, and finally got it right.

Another ten minutes later, all the other dishes were done as well.

Seven dishes and one soup, they looked pretty decent.

"How does it taste?" Pei Danqing asked Xu Lin, looking for some praise.

Xu Lin: "It’s alright."

"Just alright?"

"Ah, it’s absolutely delicious, especially this beef, it melts in your mouth..."

"How improper!"

Pei Danqing pinched him.

Chi Linyue couldn’t help but laugh, "Hahaha, the spicy beef was Qingqing’s creation!"

They enjoyed their meal happily for more than an hour.

Of course, the cleanup after didn’t require Xu Lin’s help either.

After tidying up the dishes and cutlery, Pei Danqing came over, "Time to shower, brush teeth, and rinse."

"Is that necessary?"

"Of course, if you don’t, you’ll be all dirty, and we still need to sleep tonight!"

Pei Danqing was a cleanliness freak; after eating for more than an hour, her clothes carried a bit of a food smell, and brushing was obviously a must.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"
