Chapter 57

Captain, can you not do this?

I really can’t stand it, you know?

Yun Hao knows that Lu Jianjun might be a bit off-beat at times, but he also recognizes his capabilities, or else he wouldn’t have become the deputy captain or survived several near-death experiences.

“Perhaps it’s thanks to your sister-in-law and her chicken soup she’s been making for me for the past three days!” He’d said this twice already, but his wife always managed to brush it off with some excuse.

But honestly, he found it endearing.

His wife cared about him and took care of his health. He couldn’t exactly say he didn’t need it, afraid that doing so might make her stop showing such affection in the future.

So, he intentionally let her coax him.

Lu Jianjun opened his eyes wide, full of astonishment. Things the captain didn’t want to discuss were rarely pried from his lips. But this time, this one time, the captain had actually spilled the beans.

What’s more, why did he always feel like the captain was showing off?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the captain was indeed flaunting something.

Captain, are you alright?

“Captain, your sister-in-law really cares for you.” The chicken she uses for the soup isn’t something you can just buy when you feel like it. Even with money, it’s hard to always get such chicken. She’s impressive, always able to secure chicken on time. They all thought that the chicken she’d used for the party that day was a special treat. But the fact that she’d managed to acquire more chicken left them marveling at how much she was willing to give, and how much she deeply cared for the captain.

Why is it that as a man, no one cares for him in this way?

“After lunch at home, come have chicken stew at mine.” With that, Yun Hao swiftly left.

This left Lu Jianjun doubting his ears.

The captain was actually inviting him over for chicken?

He didn’t mishear, did he?

The next moment, he rushed off to fetch his lunch before heading to the captain’s house to enjoy the chicken.

Meng Yunhan had indeed made chicken stew, with angelica, goji berries, and gastrodia tuber added.

Yun Hao never asked where Meng Yunhan got these ingredients from.

And Meng Yunhan never explained.

Because Yun Hao trusted his wife implicitly. Even if one day Meng Yunhan admitted to some wrongdoing, Yun Hao would still stand by her as his wife.

Three years of devotion had finally yielded a return. Yun Hao wished to continually indulge his wife. Although he was usually a cold person, he was a man of few words, preferring to express himself through actions.

Yun Hao took care of all the firewood and water chores at home. If it wasn’t for Meng Yunhan insisting on doing the laundry herself, he would have taken over that task as well.

“Hanhan…..”

Upon hearing that voice, Meng Yunhan knew without having to guess that it was Yun Hao.

“Lu Jianjun will be coming over in a bit.”

Meng Yunhan blinked in surprise. There hadn’t been any visitors over the past few days, but now they were inviting deputy captain Lu Jianjun over for dinner?

“Alright.”

Just as they plated up the food, Lu Jianjun arrived.

“Hello, sister-in-law, I’m back.” Lu Jianjun was a fan of Meng Yunhan’s cooking skills, but the captain had barred him from visiting. Now that the captain invited him, he rushed over immediately after getting his meal.

“Sit, sit.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony.” Lu Jianjun smelled the aroma of the meat and the unique scent of the herbs.

“What is this, sister-in-law?” Did the captain also need herbal supplements?

“Can’t you keep your mouth shut?” Yun Hao cast him a cool glance.

Lu Jianjun wasn’t afraid of their captain in the presence of Meng Yunhan.

“Sister-in-law, this chicken smells so good. What did you put in it?”

Meng Yunhan glanced at Yun Hao. This man had never asked about it.

“Angelica, gastrodia, goji berries, and pot seal cooked with chicken.”
