Chapter 61 Did I hurt you?
On hearing this, Si Chen looked at Tong Yao calmly and nodded, "If you enjoy doing it, then continue. Don’t overexert yourself, and stop if your health suffers."
Seeing his faith in her words, Tong Yao sighed with relief, "I’m not exactly overworked, as long as you don’t mind me neglecting the house."
Although they were nominally husband and wife, since their marriage, Si Chen had contributed more to the family. Over time, even the best of temperaments could start to grumble.
After all, being a doctor is a gruelling profession. Performing major surgeries could take several hours, she wondered when he managed to develop his abdominal muscles.
Si Chen pressed his lips together, "No, I won’t."
Tong Yao was born into a well-off family, was beautiful, and cultured. Under these circumstances, she could have closed her eyes in Kyoto and found a better match than his own family status. Her marriage to him was a downgrade, and she had been wronged.
After moving to the family quarters, she never complained about his poverty, so why would he nitpick about household chores?
Both were working, and Tong Yao was a woman. He should be the one doing more of the caretaking.
"If you say so, I’m hungry. Let’s cook together!" Tong Yao was so hungry that her stomach wouldn’t stop rumbling. The two had grown more comfortable around each other, so she wasn’t as reserved in Si Chen’s presence. Like a child, she playfully pushed Si Chen towards the kitchen.
Tong Yao was in charge of washing the vegetables while Si Chen took care of the cutting and frying. They worked together seamlessly, and soon the aroma of cooking food filled the kitchen, intensifying Tong Yao’s hunger. She stood behind Si Chen, eyes focused on the Stir-fried Egg with Chili in the pan.
