Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1347: Extra Story Two: Protecting Husband_3

Xiao Ruiyuan watched his wife unblinkingly, his eyes shining bright like stars in the clear sky. The next moment, he extended his long, powerful arms and firmly pulled her into his embrace.

No one, no one had ever defended him like the person in his arms, not even his grandfather who loved him dearly in the past! When he was bullied and wronged as a child, his grandfather only taught him to be strong, to be even tougher than those who bullied him.

He used to think that those who needed protection were the weak, and he did not need anyone’s protection. Only now did he realize how blissful it was to be protected.

Mo Yan also stretched out her arms and embraced the man in front of her, her husband.

Recalling the way Chu Heng and Yan Junyu had just made things difficult for her husband, Mo Yan felt her ire rising: just wait, she would make those two unscrupulous men pay! Her husband was not someone they could ridicule at will.

Mao Tuan, seeing the two tightly embracing as if they could never be parted, was restlessly pacing back and forth with his thick tail wagging, yet exceptionally, he did not approach to bother them. If it had been any other time, it would have already stretched out its claws to scratch the shameless "two-legged beast." freeweɓnøvel.com

The couple quietly hugged for a long time until a hungry rumbling sound broke the warm moment that others couldn’t intrude upon.

Mo Yan, covering her tight, hungry stomach, said somewhat embarrassedly, "I, I’m hungry."

"Hmm, your husband heard it." Xiao Ruiyuan placed his hand over his wife’s on her stomach and said seriously.

Annoyed, Mo Yan raised her other hand and thumped him on the chest, "At this time, shouldn’t you be taking me to eat something delicious?"

Previously, a man and a beast had fought fiercely in the bridal chamber, and two maids who had brought wine and dishes were stopped by Xiao Eleven. So much time had passed that the food and wine had surely gone cold.

Xiao Ruiyuan thoroughly enjoyed the coquettish attitude of his wife, catching her hand and gently kissing it, his voice unspeakably tender and lingering, "As you command, husband will now take you to the kitchen to find something delicious to eat."

With that, he truly took Mo Yan’s hand and headed towards the kitchen.

Mao Tuan, seeing this, instinctively wanted to follow but after just two steps, it stopped again. After all, no matter how tasty the food in the kitchen might be, it was never as delicious as what Yanyan made! Instead... hehe!

The banquet dishes were all served, and the busy kitchen finally got a rare moment of respite. At this moment, several chefs and their helpers were gathered around a long table having their dinner.

The General’s Mansion had few masters, and thus, few servants. The kitchen originally had just two chefs and two helpers. Both the chefs and helpers were veterans from the battlefield, capable of making simple homecooked dishes, but preparing a banquet like today’s was beyond their skills.

These chefs and helpers had been specially hired at a high price from outside, and after finishing the busy work of the day, they would be able to leave with their pay in Silver.

The group was eating merrily when suddenly they saw two people in bright red wedding attire entering, nearly choking them. In the next moment, they stood up, putting down their bowls and chopsticks to bow and greet them, clearly guessing the identities of the couple.

Xiao Ruiyuan casually waved his hand and started looking for something delicious in the kitchen, only to discover that there were no ready-made dishes, just a few common ingredients left unused, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

This shift in expression scared the group of chefs and helpers immensely, and they were about to come forward to apologize when Mo Yan stopped them.

"You’ve worked hard today preparing over a hundred tables, truly laborious! Please continue eating; it won’t be good once it gets cold," Mo Yan said sincerely.

The fact that the ingredients had been perfectly used up with almost no waste showed that these people had good conduct and hadn’t abused the silver of the General’s Mansion. There was no ready-made food left at the moment, and they certainly couldn’t be blamed for that.

"Yanyan, wait here, I’ll send someone out to buy some food," said Xiao Ruiyuan, seeing Mo Yan’s response and realizing he couldn’t blame the chefs, and was about to order Xiao Eleven to go out and buy some.

"No need, I will just use these ingredients to make a couple of bowls of noodles; it won’t take long!" said Mo Yan, as she rolled up her sleeves and bent down to pick up a few lively green vegetables from the basket.

Needless to say, these vegetables were from Liu Yang Village.

Xiao Ruiyuan did not stop Mo Yan’s movements, but when he saw her holding a few vegetables ready to wash them in a basin, he quickly took the basin from her, "The water is cold; let me wash them."

Mo Yan wanted to say she wasn’t afraid of the cold, but seeing her husband’s determined face, she let go and refused the help of the chefs, scooping some water herself to clean the greasy large pot.
