Chapter 838: Chapter 841: A Warm Man
"In a few days it will be the original Duo’er’s birthday, but your birthday is the day Heaven sent you to my side," Tan Zhenghong said earnestly.
From the moment she opened her eyes, their destinies had changed.
She was his wife, he was her husband, everything was fated.
People say that marrying is a woman’s second reincarnation, so the day Duo’er came to his side was her rebirth.
Qiao Duo’er thought carefully, indeed she had arrived soon after the wheat harvest.
But she had forgotten the specific date.
Before she could figure it out, her cheek was sneakily attacked.
Qiao Duo’er said with a look of disgust, "Did I say I forgave you?"
"Aren’t I using my actions to strive for your forgiveness? Look, this table of food is everything you made for me last year, and I’ve been preparing it all day," he said proudly, having made it all by himself.
Braised rabbit meat, sweet and sour ribs, stir-fried Lotus Whip, purslane dumplings...
Each dish was an imprint on his soul.
Tan Zhenghong suddenly remembered something and hurried into the kitchen, returning with a cake in his hands.
The key point was that it was topped with cream.
"Wife, please forgive me considering my arms are almost broken!" Tan Zhenghong said with hope.
He had gone to town early in the morning to buy milk, and upon returning, he repeatedly skimmed the cream that had formed on top of the milk.
Then, after heating the cream, he put it in a bowl and stirred and slapped it with several chopsticks for nearly half an hour until it finally turned into whipped cream.
However, after being busy for most of the day, he only managed to make a little, just enough to cover the cake.
But as for things like frosting and coloring, he had never seen them before, and Duo’er hadn’t explained clearly, so he cut some fruit and placed it on top as decoration. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
He hoped it wouldn’t disappoint his wife too much.
After finishing the cake and a whole table of dishes, he realized it had already turned dark.
Just as Fat Fat and Fatty came back to report, he quickly brought all the food out.
Qiao Duo’er asked with a strained face, "Where did you learn this from?"
"I heard from you. Last year when you were teaching Erhu to make a cake for Chao Lian, you mentioned that it would be better with cream. I asked you what cream was, and you told me," Tan Zhenghong confessed immediately.
He had just wanted to try, after all, slathering something that looked like water onto a cake was beyond his imagination.
But luckily, he had actually managed to make it.
At that moment, Little Treasure started kicking up a fuss again. Qiao Duo’er touched her belly and said softly, "If you agree to forgive your dad, give me a little kick."
The little one immediately complied with a lively kick.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but comment, what a little swindler!
Before Duo’er could speak out, the little one kicked twice more as if to complain about her slow reaction.
If a man had gone to such lengths and she still wouldn’t forgive him, that would be too haughty!
"Little one, are you picking on your mom again?"
Tan Zhenghong gently rubbed Duo’er’s belly.
Qiao Duo’er said awkwardly, "Not at all, I’ll forgive you first this time."
She emphasized that she was not conquered by the food but was truly moved by Tan Zhenghong’s intentions.
"Thank you, wife!" Tan Zhenghong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then called Duo’er to sit down at the table to eat.
In ancient times, candles were relied upon for light, perfectly setting the scene for a candlelight dinner that evening.
The candlelight cast onto Tan Zhenghong’s face, making his features even more pronounced, and Qiao Duo’er chuckled to herself in secret.
Finding a good-looking tough guy in a mountain village wasn’t an easy feat.
