“It’s May 18th, and I’ll prepare dinner tonight.
“After you send me into your interspace, you just have a good rest.” Gu Chengrui went into the house after that.
Zhou Ying finally understood what he meant, and her face turned red as her heart beat faster.
She tied Er Zhuang up and followed him into the house.
Gu Chengrui had just finished washing his face. He saw her come in, changed the water for her, and kissed her on the face. “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll enter your interspace immediately.”
“You make the decision. Once you’ve decided, just tell me what ingredients you need, and I’ll bring them out.”
“Alright, 1’11 go and draw up a list.” Gu Chengrui turned around and went to the west room.
On the other hand, Zhou Ying washed her face and changed into clean clothes.
After she was done, Gu Chengrui took out a list and handed it to her. “You can choose what you want to eat.”
Zhou Ying took the list over and looked at it carefully. There was an assortment of Chinese and Western foods on it, and quite a lot of them.
She marked down a bowl of cordyceps flower black-bone chicken soup, a steak, a fruit salad, and a small cake after going through the entire list.
Gu Chengrui took it and glanced at it. He added a cup of saffron tea and said, “It’s not good for you to get pregnant at such a timing; sorry for the inconvenience.”
Zhou Ying smiled and nodded. “I understand. Besides, it’s good 1 don’t get pregnant now.”
“Are you sure there’s nothing else you want? I’ll go to the interspace to prepare dinner if there’s nothing else.”
“Yeah, nothing else,” Zhou Ying affirmed and closed the door. She entered her interspace with him, took out the necessary ingredients and seasonings from the warehouse, and left the interspace.
As soon as she came out, she heard Er Zhuang barking. She quickly opened the door and walked out. When she saw Father Gu standing outside, she approached him and greeted him, “Father? Come in for a talk.”
“No need; I’m here for just a few words.
“I’m mainly here to inform you that your second brother is getting married the day after tomorrow. Remember to be there early.”
“Such a hurry?”
“There’s no choice; no one’s life is good this year.
“They’re urging us to quicken the marriage, so we’ll keep it simple. It will be just our family and a few respected elders in the village there to witness it.
“In addition, 1 need to borrow your family’s carriage to pick up the bride.
“Also, see if you can get us a few pounds of meat, as it won’t be a feast without meat.”
“Is beef or mutton okay? We don’t have anything else to offer.” Zhou Ying asked.
“Sure, five pounds each is fine. The chickens we raise are also ready to be eaten.” Father Gu replied.
“Alright, we’ll come with the meat the day after tomorrow.”
“Do come earlier, as Chengrui has to pickup the bride together.” Father Gu turned around and left after he finished speaking.
After he left, Zhou Ying went to the well to wash her clothes.
It was already dark after she returned, so she locked the gates.
She then went to the kitchen, made a big dumpling soup with some chicken meatballs, and fed it to Er Zhuang.
When the sky got completely dark, she entered her home, locked the door, and entered her interspace.
Gu Chengrui, who had already finished cooking and changed into casual clothes, saw her coming in and spoke with a pout, “You’re finally here? I thought you had forgotten about me.”
“I have to wait until it’s dark before I come in. You set the food; I’m going to take a shower.” Zhou Ying went to her bedroom to get a pair of pyjamas and went to the bathroom.
When she came out, Gu Chengrui had already laid out dinner, but only the cake was left uncovered.
When he saw her, he pulled her to sit down. “Birthday girl, it’s your job to blow out the candles.”
“Well, light it for me then.” Zhou Ying cheekily replied after sitting down.
“Yes, my princess.” Gu Chengrui responded with a smile. He then turned around and lit the eighteen candles on the cake one by one, pushing it in front of her.
Zhou Ying looked up at him with a smile and asked, “Together?”
