Chapter 152 KEEP AN EYE ON HER PART 20

"This is Si Xi. She is Si Han"s wife. Isn"t she gorgeous?" Ge Chen asked.

Xue Lin frowned. "I cannot find anything beautiful no matter how beautiful it is, so long as my life is on the line."

Honestly, she is surrounded by wolves that eat human flesh. How can she find beauty in them?

Ge Chen slightly smiled. "You have to greet them," he said.

Xue Lin didn"t take her eyes off those wolves. Still she whispered, "What do you want me to do? Should I go forward and sit in front of them and tell them, "h.e.l.lo, I"m Xue Lin, your master"s wife and your second owner, treat me well." Is that it?"

Truthfully, she was p.i.s.sed off at her husband for being so inconsiderate to her feelings. She couldn"t think of anything that could control her anger.

Ge Chen could sense her anger. He quietly took her hand and walked forward.

Xue Lin resisted at first but then with a robotic movement, she followed him.

He stopped in front of Si Han and Si Xi. He reached out and stroked Si Han"s head first and then rubbed Si Xi"s head. They silently let him do as he pleased and wagged their tails. Ge Chen told his wife, "You can do the same."

Seeing that they were being polite to a stranger like her, Xue Lin cautiously reached out.

"Grrr…" Si Xi became alerted and warned her with a harsh expression.

Xue Lin"s throat was dry. She stretched her left hand and tried her best not to quiver in front of them. Before she could touch Si Xi, Si Xi gave her a glare. She closed her eyes tightly and her hand finally touched Si Xi"s soft head. Her soul nearly left her body and she continued rubbing Si Xi"s head. When she got used to it she stretched her right hand and rubbed Si Han"s head. Maybe because he was a male wolf, so he didn"t feel bothered. He wagged his tail as he let Xue Lin gently stroke his head.

Though the leader of the wolf pack seemed friendly, Xue Lin couldn"t let go of her uneasiness. She introduced herself to them, "h.e.l.lo, I"m Xue Lin, it"s nice to meet you. I"m your master"s wife and your second owner. I hope we will get along well." She sarcastically said the same thing. She rubbed their heads several times and let go.

Ge Chen controlled his laughter and said, "Let"s head back."

Xue Lin didn"t even take a glance at him. "Why? Don"t you love them so much that you want to live with them? Why don"t you stay here? I"ll take a guard with me."

Ge Chen reached out, "My wife, I was wrong-"

"You weren"t wrong. They are your domestic pets; the love of your life. So, you should stay with them." Xue Lin grunted. She wanted to get away from here but seeing those wolves, she couldn"t just turn away and leave.

What if they attacked her from behind?

Ge Chen knew that he made her super angry. He said, "If you want me to kneel on the washing board and let me cook for a whole month, I will do that without complaints. Will that suffice?"

Xue Lin glared at him. "How is your one month of cooking equal to my life? I can cook too, you know."

Ge Chen suggested, "Then, I will cook for you for a lifetime and become your slave. How does that sound?"

Xue Lin paused and pondered about it. It didn"t seem like a bad idea to have a slave who would cook in the morning, noon and night. Her anger gradually went away and she replied, "Let"s go back and prepare the papers. If you don"t sign a contract, I will send you back to stay with your domestic pets for a year."

Ge Chen secretly smiled and nodded. "As you wish, my wife."

When they reached home, Ge Chen wrote a contract and showed it to Xue Lin. She read it thoroughly and gave her approval. After Ge Chen had signed it, he made a copy and kept it for himself and gave Xue Lin the real copy. Xue Lin went to the library with satisfaction.

In the evening, she cooked Italian just the way Ge Chen liked. She always thought that her cooking was average and never actually liked the way her cooking tasted. However, Ge Chen ate as if he was eating something delicious. He didn"t complain once throughout the dinner. He ate the pasta and savored every last taste of the meal.

This is the first time Xue Lin ever cooked for her husband and so she was nervous. Noticing that he didn"t comment on how it tasted, she couldn"t keep calm and asked curiously, "My husband, you are only eating. Why don"t you say how it tastes? How would I know if you liked it or not?"

Ge Chen finally looked at her and said, "I"m sorry for acting selfishly. This is the first time I was able to taste the food cooked by my wife. I"m overwhelmed thinking how delicious it tastes. If you want, you can become a professional cook."

"…" Xue Lin looked at him with amazement. She knew how her food tasted. There was nothing wrong with her taste buds. She didn"t buy his lie.

Seeing her distrustful look, Ge Chen put down the fork and said, "My wife, I don"t have anything to show you as a proof but to tell you the truth, your cooking reminded me of my mother"s. Her cooked pasta tasted exactly the same. When my mother and I used to live here, she cooked pasta every day. I can never forget how she cooked."

Xue Lin was surprised. "I didn"t think my graceful mother-in-law was so bad at cooking."

Though she said that, she couldn"t help but thank grandma Gu Xiali who gave her the recipe of how Ge Chen"s mother used to cook Italian pasta. Gu Xiali also said how much Ge Chen liked to eat pasta when he was little. Xue Lin just wanted to give this recipe a shot.
