Shen Lu stopped by the supermarket on her way home and bought ribs, Chinese yam, bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, and baby cabbage—ingredients that Mu Shaoci was fond of.
When she got home, she immediately disappeared into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
She cooked braised ribs, stir-fried Chinese yam, bok choy with shiitake, and dry pot baby cabbage.
While simmering the mushroom soup, she stared at the clay pot and zoned out.
She didn't even notice when Mu Shaoci came up behind her until a pair of male hands wrapped around her waist.
Shen Lu snapped back to reality and turned her head with a smile, "You're back?"
Mu Shaoci nibbled at her pale neck, a spot that was sensitive for Shen Lu.
His hands also started to wander, causing the person in his arms to go weak at the knees.
"Shaoci, I still need to tend to the soup," Shen Lu said, her eyes misty with tears.
Mu Shaoci kissed her lips, murmuring indistinctly, "But I really want to eat you."
