It was 11:30 at night.

In their new home, a delicious-smelling hot pot was brought to the dining table, surrounded by various ingredients that could be cooked in it shortly.

As a great chef, Yigol Novak cooked up dishes that were beautiful, fragrant, and delicious. Suri Drew couldn’t help but drool.

Yigol sat next to Suri, carefully adding some ingredients to the pot, extremely focused on the task.

Suri adored Yigol as she watched him work, finding him so handsome even when cooking.

“Honey, can we eat now?” Suri asked, full of anticipation.

Yigol chuckled, seeing Suri swallow her saliva incessantly, and replied, “Wait a bit. I just added the ingredients. It’ll take at least 20 minutes to cook. The ingredients I added not only make the hot pot more flavorful but also prevent acne and weight gain. If you eat now, you might wake up tomorrow with a face full of pimples.”

Feeling aggrieved, Suri pouted and said, “Alright, then. I’ll wait a little longer.”

She was concerned about her appearance, which was why she wanted to eat Yigol’s hot pot – she knew it wouldn’t make her gain weight or break out.

Otherwise, she would have tried it years ago.

As Yigol continued cooking, he said, “The combination of these ingredients is similar to Chinese medicine. It requires a variety of things to achieve the desired effect. The dosages are also critical, or it’ll backfire.”

“There’s a specific duration for these ingredients to work together. Otherwise, I would have just bought pre-made hot pot base from outside.”

“Wife, if you can’t resist the temptation, go do something else first. I’ll call you when it’s ready, okay?” Yigol looked at Suri affectionately.

Suri quickly shook her head, “No, I want to wait here.”

She couldn’t bear to leave. She wanted to eat the hot pot the moment it was ready. At this point, even if she went somewhere else, she wouldn’t be able to focus on anything else – she’d be constantly thinking about the delicious meal in front of her.

It was better to stay and watch, at least she could enjoy the aroma.

But staring at the hot pot was quite torturous. To pass the time, Suri deliberately struck up a conversation with Yigol.

Curious, Suri asked, “You said the combination of these ingredients is like Chinese medicine – something most chefs don’t know about. If they knew, they wouldn’t hide such a fantastic skill. Their business would undoubtedly be better if they were to use it.”

“So how did you learn this? The more time I spend with you, the more I feel like you’re not an ordinary person. You do amazing things. How do you manage it

“You graduated from a third-rate university, yet you’re proficient in many languages, have strong judgment and reasoning ability, are a super-hacker, and incredibly skilled in stock trading. And you cook. To me, none of your skills can be surpassed. If not for you being right in front of me, I wouldn’t believe such a talented person exists.”

Getting even more curious, Suri moved closer to Yigol’s face, “Honey, by any chance, are you not human? Are you an immortal, like the ones on TV who nave nvea ror tnousanas or even tens or tnousanas or years(”

Yigol couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Your husband isn’t some monster. I’m genuinely human. I just happen to be more intelligent than most. Not like you, always looking clueless.”

Suri pouted, feeling offended.

But it seemed that Yigol was right. Compared to his intelligence, her wit wasn’t worth mentioning.

Continuing her line of questioning, Suri asked, “Honey, with your intelligence, you could have easily been admitted to a top university or even directly recommended. Why didn’t you focus on studying?”

Yigol hesitated and said, “I just wasn’t interested. I felt like I understood everything the teachers said, so I didn’t want to study or take exams. If not for the fear of worrying my family, I wouldn’t have gone to school. So I went to a third-rate university to pass the time.”

“By performing poorly, my parents had no expectations for me, which meant I didn’t have to shoulder any pressure. If I had shown my genius skills from the beginning, would my parents have let me become a delivery guy? In this world, no parent doesn’t want the best future for their child.”

“I was interested in all kinds of strange things, and these skills are mostly self-taught.”

“Wife, actually, you’re pretty clever if you don’t compare yourself to me. So if we have a baby or even many babies, our child will possess strong genes from both parents and will definitely be intelligent. Maybe they’ll call ‘mom’ as soon as they’re born. Want to give it a try?”

As Suri listened, her face turned red, “Look at what you’re saying! How intelligent can a child be?”

Though she was asking that, in her heart, she quite agreed with Yigol.

She even started to look forward to what their child would look like.

Suri even wished to have a deeper connection with Yigol right away, to see how intelligent the child she would bear could be.

“Well, I think…” Yigol pretended to ponder seriously, “Our child would be a little genius at the very least, self-taught from an early age. As soon as they’re born, they’ll recite classic poems, and when they learn to walk, they’ll recite the famous work of literature, ‘Hamlet’…”

Suri quickly interrupted, “Alright, alright, don’t go on. You’re not talking about a genius; you’re talking about a monster! Even the most intelligent child can’t be that smart. If our child ends up like that, I absolutely won’t have it.”

Suri felt it was unrealistic just to listen. Even intelligent children were still children. If they turned out like Yigol described, wouldn’t they be monsters?

Now she was even more suspicious that Yigol was a monster, “Honey, are you really human?”

Yigol couldn’t help but laugh again, “If I’m not human, what am I? Do you seriously think I’m a monster?”

“I was just joking earlier. In all seriousness, our child will definitely be quite intelligent, the type who understands quickly. We’ll just need to teach them everything we know, and they’ll be very skilled. They might even be able to make inferences from that. If that’s the case, it’d be even better.”

“If our child is the type who cries, makes noise, and gets on our nerves but doesn’t learn, we’ll age quickly within two years..”
