"How is it? "Does it still hurt?" Lu Chen raised her head and looked at her with concern.
The tip of Mo Nuan's nose was a little sore as she shook her head.
Lu Chen then found a bandage from the medicine box and stuck it on her, pushing her out of the kitchen. No matter what, he was not going to do it.
Mo Nuan leaned at the door, and looked at the busy man in the kitchen in an instant, then suddenly went forward and hugged his waist, his nose had a faint smell of mint, it was fresh and nice, and his mouth could not help but to curl up.
She never understood why Lu Chen always liked to hug her from behind, and only after personally experiencing it did she realize that this kind of feeling wasn't bad, it was warmth and a sense of security.
Towards her initiative, Lu Chen was startled for a moment. When she reacted, she leaned back slightly, placed his face against hers and gently rubbed it, "What happened?"
"Lu Chen, I feel that I'm useless, that I can't even cook, this sort of trivial matter, and that I have to cause trouble for you for three to two days, and make you continuously look like a nuisance when it comes to helping me recuperate."
"Not confident in yourself?"
Mo Nuan nodded honestly, "A little." She thought, no matter if it was a man or woman, they would feel inferior facing someone like Lu Chen.
Lu Chen rubbed her forehead, and said with ridicule: "Who said my wife is worthless, my wife will check the accounts, and she will turn Ol 'Five into a tramp. This is not something that an ordinary person can do, I won't."
"Sigh, why are you always insisting on this point? Didn't I already explain it to you?" Mo Nuan was already regretting her decision. If she had known earlier on that teasing of a matchmaking partner would become a dark history of hers in the future, she wouldn't have done it even if she was beaten to death.
"Because this is where my wife attracts me the most." Lu Chen said in a low voice.
Hearing that, the corner of Mo Nuan's mouth curled, and fiercely waved her fist in front of Lu Chen: "I don't care anyways, you can't regret it, nor can you hate me."
Lu Chen pulled down her little fist. Her hand was small, so naturally, her fist was very small, so it could easily be wrapped around his palm and it fit perfectly, causing the smile on his face to disappear and return to a serious expression. She reprimanded in a serious tone, "Your head thinks about something everyday. "Don't say that I will hate you or something like that, it's impossible. You have to have confidence in yourself and also in your husband. Do you understand?"
Mo Nuan had long ago gotten used to this kind of scolding from everyone. Ever since she married him, she had been scolded a lot by him.
Mo Nuan smirked, "It's so wordy, but I suddenly feel like I'm acting in an idol show, everything is so unreal."
In his memory, he had only seen this kind of man in television dramas. He had a family background and ability that made people look up to him. He was truly a domineering CEO, but he treated his wife with care and concern.
He was too good to her, too good to make her feel like a dream, afraid it would wake up and nothing would be there.
"Silly girl, you were moved so easily?"
Mo Nuan refused to admit it, "No, I'm just expressing my doubts from what you said not long ago. You said that you've never tried to catch up with a girl before, how is that possible?"
Otherwise, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was an expert in the art of love, given that he could easily capture her heart with just a casual movement.
"Warmth is telling me that you have already been caught by me?"
"It's not that easy." Mo Nuan released her hand and pushed him, "Hurry up and start cooking, I'm about to starve to death."
Mo Nuan memorized the menu, Lu Chen cooked very efficiently, and when Lu Chen was preparing the last dish, Mo Nuan sneaked out of the kitchen.
When Lu Chen carried the last dish out, she discovered that the main light in the restaurant had been locked, only leaving behind a hazy wall light. On the table, besides the rich dishes, there was an additional 10-inch fruit birthday cake, with three big candles and three small candles.
Her back was facing the light, and was enveloped in a layer of hazy light, adding a bit of gentleness to it. She slightly opened her mouth, and said softly: "Lu Chen, happy birthday!"
At this moment, Lu Chen felt that his heart was extremely soft-hearted. The sorrow that he had thought he would never forget, seemed to have vanished into thin air at this moment, dispersed into her light and gentle smile.
His birthday wasn't much different from her big brother Lu Ming's, the two of them didn't like to play with these things, so family and friends would always put their birthdays together, and like that, many years passed, until there was another woman by his side. But Lu Ming had passed away, and he had lost her lover, so birthdays were meaningless to him.
Later, his family and friends would prepare for him, but he would never show up, afraid to think about them. After a while, it would become nothing, and if not for Mo Nuan's appearance, even he himself would have forgotten that today was his birthday.
"Lu Chen, what's wrong?"
only regained his senses after he saw his own wife looking at him worriedly. He bit his lower lip and said, "I'm fine."
"You're still saying that it's alright? Your face has the words' I'm not happy 'written all over it." Mo Nuan said as she pointed at his face. She would never have done it if she had known it would make him so unhappy.
"Warm, it's nothing. I'm not unhappy about it."
"Do you blame me for taking the initiative to celebrate your birthday? If you don't like it, I'll take them all immediately." Mo Nuan looked at the cake on the table.
Lu Chen put down the plate in her hands, walked to her side, and pulled her down as she calmly explained, "Actually, it has been many years since I have celebrated my birthday, because every single day, I would always remember some unhappy things from the past. I have always been running away from it, but when I saw you standing not too far away smiling and saying to me, 'Happy birthday,' I realized that I actually wasn't that sad anymore."
Birthdays were not really important to Mo Nuan, but she did not want Lu Chen to live through the pain of losing a brother. The deceased were already dead, and those who were still alive shouldn't have tried to escape. It was just that her actions seemed to be a bit too hasty.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault." Mo Nuan took the initiative to admit her mistake.
Lu Chen was a little helpless, "Silly girl, why didn't you understand what I meant?
"Really?" Mo Nuan asked uncertainly.
"From now on, I wish that Mrs. Lu will always accompany me on my birthdays." Lu Chen embraced her and smiled: "Thank you Mrs. Lu for remembering my birthday."
