On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 189

Huo Jingyuan put down the insulated box in his hand, half-embraced Wen Ci's waist, and gently pulled her body closer to him.

He leaned close to her ear, his voice low and husky: "Wife, do you not trust my stamina? If you weren't going back to the capital, I could do it all day."

Wen Ci: "..."

She's completely immune to the crude jokes men make.

Suddenly, she glanced down at the green cargo pants hanging high, then looked up and smiled, "You really can find something anywhere..."

"It's all your fault." Huo Jingyuan gritted his teeth.

It's all because Wen Ci doesn't sleep soundly.

"hehe!"

Immediately, Wen Ci swallowed hard. She hadn't eaten breakfast all night and was starving. She asked, "Is there chicken in the chicken soup?"

"Have."

The insulated box originally had two layers, but Grandma Liu wanted Wen Ci to drink more, so she removed one layer and stuffed half a stewed chicken inside.

"hungry?"

"Ah."

Huo Jingyuan picked up the insulated box, opened the lid, and used the lid as a bowl to pour the chicken soup into it, filling the car with a rich aroma of chicken soup.

Wen Ci swallowed hard again, eagerly reaching out to take the lid. The chicken soup was still a little hot, having just come out of the oven, and was placed in the insulated container.

"Be careful it's hot."

"Ah."

The road to the airport was newly built. Uncle Wang was a skilled driver, and the road was smooth. There were few bumps along the way, and he drove very steadily.

Wen Ci took a sip of chicken soup, saw goji berries floating on the surface, and raised an eyebrow. "This chicken soup was made for you, wasn't it?"

"No, Grandma made it especially for you."

"Then why did you add goji berries?"

Huo Jingyuan: "..."

Goji berries aren't just for men; women can drink them too. They mainly replenish qi and blood, giving the skin a radiant glow. "Let me have some too."

"Oh." Wen Ci curled her lips. "You really should take care of yourself, otherwise..."

She paused deliberately for a few seconds, staring intently at Huo Jingyuan, and said silently, "If you don't make up for it soon, you might die from exhaustion."

The fourth word from the end, Wenci emphasized.

"you……"

Huo Jingyuan didn't know what to say in rebuttal. He did realize that he should indeed be more restrained, as his condition in the second half of the night was far worse than in the first half.

"understood."

Wen Ci asked, "Do you have chopsticks?"

"Have."

Huo Jingyuan handed Wen Ci a pair of chopsticks. The chicken in the soup was already stewed until it was very tender, and the meat could be easily separated with a poke of the chopsticks.

Wen Ci picked up a piece of chicken, blew on it, and the chicken was still glistening with oil, and the skin looked crispy and golden.

One bite.

Wen Ci's eyes lit up. The chicken wasn't dry at all; in fact, it was quite tender. "How come this chicken is still so tender after being stewed for so long?"

"The chicken wasn't in the original soup."

The methods for making chicken soup vary from place to place. The Huo family likes to first stew a hen, while keeping another chicken on the steamer. When the chicken soup is halfway cooked, they will switch the hen with the other chicken.

The meat in this stewed chicken soup is also edible.

Wen Ci smiled and said, "Huo Jingyuan, now I know why your cooking skills are so good. It turns out you have a master who taught you."

Arrive at the airport.

Wen Ci wiped her mouth with a tissue after eating only half of the chicken soup in the thermos, then patted the man's shoulder: "I'm not eating anymore, you can have the rest."

"I'll take it on the plane and eat it."

"No need, no need," Wen Ci refused.

Drinking too much chicken soup at once can make it greasy, and the food on airplanes is quite good, with vegetables and meat, meeting the standards of a state-run canteen.
