In the kitchen, all the dishes were ready, even the freshly slaughtered chicken had been chopped into pieces. Besides the chicken, there was a bass, the Chinese cabbage had been washed, and the dried radish that her mother-in-law had specifically told Xie Jingchen to bring had been soaked and expanded.
"I get it, stop nagging!" With a kitchen knife forced into her hand, Zhang Shan Ni stared at him speechlessly. Although her mouth protested his behavior, her face didn’t show any dissatisfaction. Instead, her bright apricot eyes playfully shot him a look of rebuke, revealing a coquettish charm of a little woman.
Having stayed at the Xie family home for a few days, Zhang Shan Ni’s complexion had lightened, making her delicate features even more striking. Having seen her wheat-colored cheeks in person, a single chide from her made Xie Jingchen’s heart feel as sweet as honey, his tiger-like eyes turned tame, it was like drinking a glass of ice-cold water on a scorching summer day, so refreshing and soothing!
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop messing around. It’s getting late, is there anything else I need to prepare?" Xie Jingchen cleared his throat softly and reluctantly let go of the large hand that had been resting on her slender waist, pretending to ask seriously.

Zhang Shan Ni glanced at her husband’s feigned seriousness and surveyed the ingredients. Recalling the delicacies her mother-in-law had prepared, she instructed him:
"Well, everything else is fine. Could you soak some black fungus and mushrooms in hot water? We’ll use shiitake mushrooms to stew the chicken for the main course, is that okay?"
