Chapter 76: Chapter 76: This is the Most Delicious
"Xiao Nian, you... you’re not mad at me?"
Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian in surprise. He hadn’t expected her not to be angry; in fact, she was even concerned about him.
"Why would I be angry? You didn’t do anything wrong!"
’It wasn’t as if Lu Cheng had done anything to her. And even if he had, she wouldn’t have been angry! After all, they were a married couple.’
"It’s good that you’re not angry, really good!"
Relieved that Shen Nian wasn’t angry, Lu Cheng quickly took out the food he’d brought back from the cafeteria and set it all out.
"I haven’t done any cooking in the dorm, so I had the cafeteria staff make this. See if it’s to your liking."
"Mm-hm."
’Shen Nian really was a bit hungry. Besides, she’d never tried the food from his company’s cafeteria before. Plus, Lu Cheng had gone out of his way to have it made for her, and it was all her favorite dishes.’
"You can take it easy tomorrow. Minister Zhang gave me fifteen days off, so we’ll go home tomorrow."
’Lu Cheng certainly hadn’t forgotten what happened back home. Even though Shen Nian hadn’t complained to him about it, there were some things he had to do—and do right!’
’Those people who dared to treat Shen Nian that way would pay the price they deserved!’
"Fifteen days?"
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, her face filled with pleasant surprise. She really hadn’t expected Lu Cheng to get such a long vacation. It was such a wonderful surprise!
"Mm-hm."
Seeing Shen Nian’s delighted expression, Lu Cheng felt happy too. It made convincing Minister Zhang worthwhile.
"That’s wonderful! Mom and Dad will be so happy when they hear the news!"
’Father Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Xinyue would be so happy to hear that Lu Cheng could stay home for fifteen days this time. The last time she said she was sending something to Lu Cheng, Mrs. Lu was still so concerned about him!’
Oh, right! She had almost forgotten about that.
Shen Nian quickly stood up and fetched the package Wang Xi had delivered earlier.
"I mailed this to you a while ago, but I can’t believe it only arrived after I got here. It’s full of snacks I made. Here, try some and see if you like it?"
"You made these?"
Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian, his face lighting up with pleasant surprise. He immediately took the piece of jerky she offered him and put it in his mouth.
’This was the first time he’d ever eaten something Shen Nian made for him. It was also the first time he realized what an amazing cook she was!’
"Is it good?"
"Mm-hm, it’s delicious. This is the best jerky I’ve ever had!"
"I can actually make a lot of other delicious things. I just made these because they’re easy to store and don’t spoil easily. When we get home, I’ll cook other dishes for you!"
"Deal. As long as you’re the one making it, I’ll love it!"
"You said it, so no backing out! When the time comes, even if it tastes terrible, you still have to eat it!"
"I won’t back out!"
"That’s more like it."
After she finished speaking, Shen Nian looked down again at the full package in her hands.
"We’re heading home tomorrow, so we can’t just take all of this back with us! How about you share some with your colleagues?"
’The company wouldn’t let them go hungry, of course, but things like jerky should be very popular! If she gave some to Lu Cheng’s close colleagues to try, it would be like doing them a small favor. That would definitely be good for Lu Cheng!’
However, to Shen Nian’s surprise, Lu Cheng rejected the idea as soon as she finished speaking.
"No way! This is the first thing you’ve ever made for me!"
’He hadn’t even had his fill yet, so how could he possibly bear to share it with anyone else? Absolutely not!’
