Chapter 825: Chapter 816: Calculating Against Each Other (2)

Bo Yan said from behind, “You haven’t brushed your teeth yet!”

Xia Siyu puffed her cheeks, speaking indistinctly, “I’ll wash after eating, after eating.”

Bo Yan remained silent beside her, but his eyebrows inadvertently showed a bit of smugness.

Plan successful.

Wasn’t Xia Siyu using her hands yesterday to tempt him to drink? He needed just the right remedy. Since she loved food, he would use her favorite foods against her!

At noon, Bo Yan prepared a whole table of delicious dishes and even opened a bottle of red wine. Xia Siyu was very surprised when she came down, thinking he was setting up a feast, especially since the table had her favorite cumin lamb!

The red wine, acquired from next door yesterday, was a 2005 Mouton, perfectly paired with lamb!

Bo Yan poured a glass from the decanter, and Xia Siyu laughed saying, “Why be so formal with family? You’ve cooked so much, it doesn’t support the Clean Plate Campaign.”

Bo Yan also smiled–snatching the wine glass from her hand and taking away the cumin lamb in front of her, “This is for me to eat. You can’t drink right now.”

“Why can’t I eat the lamb?” She was displeased.

“There are a lot of chilies in it.”

“I can eat spicy!” Don’t underestimate her; though she grew up abroad, she embraced spiciness after returning to her country, she could handle it!

“No, you can’t. You are on your period now, you can’t eat spicy.” Bo Yan slightly smiled, taking away the lamb and passing her a clear soup made from lamb bones, “You can only have this and vegetables.”

Xia Siyu was shocked. Bo Yan had cooked a lavish meal, enough for four or five people–all dishes were prepared in two versions, one spicy and one not, making it seem even more expansive.

He also swirled the wine glass, taking a sip, “Mmm, I guessed right, this wine needs at least two hours to breathe. After opening, it’s much more aromatic–sadly, you can’t drink it during your period.”

Xia Siyu was furious, she didn’t care that much, even if Bo Yan moved it away she would still reach for it! One chopstick, two chopsticks. Bo Yan glanced at her, and she retracted her chopsticks. When he lowered his head to sip soup, she stretched out once more to grab two pieces.

The same went for dinner, Bo Yan enjoyed flavorful spicy dishes while Xia Siyu could only drink porridge. Speaking of other things was fine, but as soon as food was concerned, Xia Siyu’s intelligence spiked. She instantly caught onto Bo Yan’s “malice,” “Are you doing this on purpose?”

Bo Yan feigned ignorance, “Doing what on purpose?” He also “considerately” advised, “It’s getting cold, drink more hot water. Rest early. You’re in a special period now, you can’t overexert yourself.”

Xia Siyu was furious, “You really are doing it on purpose, taking advantage of my ‘special period’ to treat me differently! You even made different dishes, deliberately tempting me!” All day, from morning till night, he was surely retaliating for yesterday’s prank!

“Are you just mad because I ran off last night? Is that why you desperately wanted me to use my hands?” Xia Siyu, affected by her menstrual period, quickly grasped the point, “You can’t even wait a few days, what if I go abroad or get pregnant and can’t see you for a long time, you’d probably cheat!”

She concluded, “Bo Yan, you’re the worst!”

Initially, Bo Yan just wanted to retaliate a bit, but seeing his wife so furious, his voice instantly softened, and he came to coax her, “It’s not because you didn’t want to help me with your hands that I did this.”
