Qin Xue carried the things she bought and walked towards the research institute, stopping occasionally. When she arrived at the woods by the river, she saw a few people packing up and preparing to leave.

Qin Xue pretended to stop and rest, sitting on a ridge in the field. Once those people left and no one was around, she took out some of the things she bought and threw the rest into the space.

Looking at the few items, Qin Xue smiled happily, finally feeling much lighter.

Qin Xue quickened her pace to go home. It was almost noon when the people working had already returned to their homes.

She still had to go home and cook for Chu Molin, today there were shrimps and crabs.

Unfortunately, Molin was injured and couldn’t eat these inflammation- inducing foods.

She only kept a little to cook for herself and would make some for him after his injury healed. At that time, she would make that spicy crayfish dish, which was her favorite in her previous life.

When Qin Xue returned home, she saw that Chu Molin wasn’t there. Had he gone out for a meal?

Now Qin Xue was conflicted about whether to cook or not.

After a moment of thought, she decided to cook anyway. If they couldn’t finish it, they could make fried rice in the afternoon.

Qin Xue took the pot and started washing the rice, then put the pot on the stove to cook. As the rice cooked, she began to clean the shrimp and crab.

Qin Xue found a small brush to clean the crab and shrimp, then carefully removed the shrimp’s vein.

She only prepared two crabs because it was a cold food.

Now that Qin Xue was pregnant, she couldn’t eat too much crab due to the risk of miscarriage. So, she could only eat a little to satisfy her craving. Those with cold bodies and cold uterus should avoid eating crab.

Crab is delicious, but it isn’t something everyone can eat.

Qin Xue hummed happily while cooking. As soon as Chu Molin opened the door, he could feel Qin Xue’s good mood.

“What happened? Why are you so happy?” Chu Molin came to the kitchen door and leaned on the doorframe, asking Qin Xue.

“Ah, you’re back. You scared me.” Qin Xue was too absorbed in singing and hadn’t noticed Chu Molin had returned, being startled by his sudden voice.

“Sorry for scaring you. I couldn’t help but ask when I saw you so happy,” Chu Molin didn’t mean to startle her on purpose.

“Hey, it’s alright, just got scared for a moment. Where did you go?” Qin Xue thought about Molin!s injury not being healed, yet he was running around.

“l went to the office,” Chu Molin simply went to inquire about the follow-up situation.

“Oh, go wash your hands and get ready for lunch.” Qin Xue didn’t ask any further when she heard this.

“Alright.” Chu Molin responded, but couldn’t help thinking that his little wife knew when to ask and when not to.

Just like now, she didn’t continue asking once she heard he’d gone to the office.

Qin Xue brought the cooked dishes to the table, placing the shrimp and crab in front of her, the fish head tofu soup in front of Chu Molin, stir-fried vegetables, and boiled fish on his side.

“Chu Molin, you can’t eat the shrimp and crab right now. I’ll cook them for you when you’re better,” Qin Xue said as she looked at Chu Molin waiting for those two dishes.

“Are you doing this on purpose?” Chu Molin asked Qin Xue as he looked at the spicy crayfish and spicy crab.

In the past, he only knew that these things had no meat and were quite fishy, not many people liked to eat them. But now, he realized it wasn’t that they were not tasty, but that other people didn’t know how to cook them.

At least now, looking at the ones Qin Xue had made, the aroma alone was enough to make one’s mouth water, let alone tasting it.

“Hehe, no, I just got lucky today and ran into someone selling these.

So I bought them with a bit of a gamble, wanting to see if they would turn out good, and surprisingly, I did it well,” Qin Xue said, chuckling awkwardly.

“Hmm, when my injury heals, you can buy more and cook them. They smell good and should taste delicious,” Chu Molin didn’t expose Qin Xue’s excuse.

Even though she was obviously good at cooking, she kept finding all sorts of reasons.. When would she finally be honest about her secret with him?
