Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Lin Yi Cooks
By the time Han Xuewei woke up, the dining table was already laden with several delicious dishes.
Even from a significant distance, the enticing aroma could be perceived, irresistibly luring out countless cravings.
"Honey, what delicious food have you made?"
"Why does it smell so good?"
Just awakened, Han Xuewei's eyes were slightly bleary, lazy and enchanting.
"Go and have a look, and you'll know."
"Come, I've already served the soup."
Lin Yi said with a smile, his voice gentle.
Supported by Lin Yi, Han Xuewei made her way to the dining table and felt overwhelmingly hungry at the sight of it, her appetite was unprecedentedly stirred.
On the table were two bowls of aromatic soup—Sausage and Winter Melon Soup and Hakka Sanqi Chicken Soup with Pig's Stomach.
Beside the soups were several small dishes that were both colorful and fragrant, particularly the Dry-Fried Mandarinfish which looked extraordinary.
"Husband, I feel so blessed. I didn't expect you could actually cook!"
"These dishes look so delicious!"
Han Xuewei couldn't help but express her joy.
Lin Yi chuckled and placed the already served soup in front of Han Xuewei.
Lin Yi said, "Wife, try it and see how it is."
"If you don't like it, I'll go make something else right away."
Moved, Han Xuewei smiled sweetly and said with emotion, "Husband, I can already smell it. It's a flavor I really love."
"I never imagined your cooking would be even better than mine, being able to make such flavorful, aromatic, and visually appealing dishes. You've made me feel so blessed."
Lin Yi's face was filled with a doting smile.
He had indeed put a lot of effort into this table of dishes.
From choosing the ingredients to incorporating the herbal medicine, every detail had been meticulously attended to.
The diet of a pregnant woman should be primarily light, yet nutritious. Pregnancy greatly depletes the mother's body, and not paying attention can completely wear her out, with loss outweighing the gain.
Reflecting on all these considerations, Lin Yi had taken great action.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Han Xuewei felt a rapid surge of happiness, realizing the soup was almost ready to drink.
She picked up a small bowl and took a delicate sip.
In an instant, the mild fragrance of the winter melon spread across her lips and teeth, refreshing her soul.
Unable to resist, Han Xuewei continued to sip gently.
Watching her, Lin Yi felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
This must be what love is all about!
He couldn't help but think to himself.
"Husband, this soup is so delicious! It's light yet leaves a lingering taste that makes one reluctant to put down the bowl. I didn't expect your culinary skills to be so remarkable."
"It's certainly on par with the soups from star-rated hotels."
"I'm truly blessed!"
Enjoying each sip, Han Xuewei looked up and spoke happily.
"Aunt Wang, come and drink with us."
"Try Lin Yi's craftsmanship. You've really been working too hard."
As Han Xuewei looked up and saw Aunt Wang still bustling around not too far away, she quickly called her over.
Aunt Wang responded with a smile and walked over, her face beaming.
Honestly, she was also curious about the dishes Lin Yi had prepared. They looked good, but she wondered how they tasted.
In Aunt Wang's experience, Lin Yi rarely stepped into the kitchen.
Approaching the table, Han Xuemei served her a bowl of soup, enthusiastically saying, "Aunt Wang, give it a try."
"Oh my, just take care of yourself; I can serve myself."
Aunt Wang, slightly overwhelmed by the pampering, spoke as she saw Han Xuewei serving her the soup.
Under Han Xuewei's urging, she picked up the small bowl and gently took a sip, her face immediately filled with disbelief.
These were clearly ordinary ingredients, so how did they become so extraordinary after Lin Yi's touch?
This flavor, Aunt Wang felt, didn't have any additional ingredients, but rather fully brought out the essence of the food, creating a wonderful blend that was indescribable.
Han Xuewei couldn't hold back anymore and began to eat heartily.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang quickly urged her to eat slowly.
She sat by the table, unable to resist reaching out for each dish.
This kid is really skilled at cooking, it seems he has truly grown up.
Aunt Wang couldn't help but feel at ease seeing the child she had brought up being so considerate to his wife.
She believed Lin Yi would definitely become a good husband, a good father.
Lin Yi sat close to Han Xuewei, occasionally serving her dishes, taking care of her perfectly.
Soon after Han Xuewei finished eating, she looked even more lazy and contented, like an adorable big kitty.
"This food is really too delicious!"
"It's a flavor I've never tasted before."
"It's in no way inferior to those star-level chefs," Han Xuewei said happily.
"What's so big about that? As long as you like it, I'll cook for you every day in the future, and make sure to fatten you up," Lin Yi said with great indulgence.
Han Xuewei smiled sweetly, her voice tender, "How could that be? In no time at all, I'll probably become as fat as a pig."
Lin Yi gently stroked her hair and said, "It's fine to be a little fat, I like it either way, and definitely won't despise you."
"Still, it's not okay. Being too overweight during pregnancy is hard to reduce and not good for the health," Han Xuewei quickly shook her head.
Lin Yi cracked a slight smile, clearly aware of a girl's strictness with her own weight.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations Host, you have received a cash reward of 500,000 from the system."
At that moment, the system's voice reached Lin Yi's mind.
"What?"
"Another 500,000 bonus?"
"The system's awards aren't small, just wonder why it is."
Lin Yi asked in surprise in his mind.
"Ding!"
"Because the host cooked for his wife, a reward was granted."
The system's voice came again.
Lin Yi couldn't help but feel an inner burst of joy, just for cooking a meal for his wife, he could get a 500,000 reward.
Did that mean that as long as he took care of his wife and children in the future, he would be able to receive such generous rewards?
If that was the case, then he'd get tired from accepting rewards.
Lin Yi looked at Han Xuewei with a tender smile and said, "Then alright! We'll do everything your way. But making you a meal once in a while is still a must."
"You're carrying triplets in your belly, so the supplement of nutrients is extremely important. Don't neglect your health over worries about your weight."
"Only by ensuring your health can we ensure the children."
Hearing this, Han Xuewei's heart immediately filled with endless anticipation for life.
She spoke in a soft voice, "Having a husband who is a chef of supreme level, I don't have to worry about nutrition and taste, it's so good to have you!"
"I'm a bit scared that in the future I won't be able to resist eating a lot, and if the weight keeps going up and then can't come down, what then?"
"I don't want to become fat!" Han Xuewei said, pouting her lips adorably as she spoke.
Seeing Han Xuewei like this, Lin Yi couldn't help but become somewhat infatuated.
