Accidentally Married A Fox God – The Sovereign Lord Spoils His Wife

Chapter 187 Grumpy For No Good Reason

Following that introduction, Li Meirong was ushered to sit back at the dinner table.

The servants set the main course at the center of the table in front of the pair, as well as provided Senior Zhu with a new set of chopsticks before hurriedly retreating into the recesses of the residence after receiving a subtle signal from their disguised lord.

Li Meirong stared flustered at Senior Zhu from across the table. Her voice turned soft and quiet, "You didn’t have to arrange attendants for me, I know how to take care of myself. Please tell them that I don’t need their service."

With one eyebrow raised, Bai Qingyue answered, "You will keep the servants. Be that as it may, you do have a tendency to get into trouble quite often and you never know when you might need an extra pair of hands."

"Still, I don’t even have any space for them" She almost huffed, "My home can’t host any more people." Li Meirong added a few more excuses to support her claim.

Bai Qingyue spoke with clarity as he explained as a matter of fact, "You seem to have forgotten your own words. Previously, you have permitted me to refurbish our home so I may finally be able to move in. Moreover, since you keep using the lack of space as an excuse to bar me from moving in with you, I am forced to add an additional room for myself. It shouldn’t be too difficult to attach servant quarters and indoor bathing chambers, just a few simple changes to make our accommodation more pleasant."

Meanwhile, the girl’s fair cheeks puffed up in a fit of anger, resembling a pair of steamed buns. She folded her arms together and gave him a pointed look, "You are so frustrating! I can never win an argument with you!"

First, Zhu Qingyue decided to make her home his own, then he somehow convinced her to refurbish the place, and last but not least, now he’s adding servants to the whole package. No matter what, it seemed like she never even had a say in the matter. He kept deciding everything, and she always ended up accepting the verdicts.

Instead of getting mad, however, the bewitching man looked amused... happy, even.

"Whatever do you mean? We are not arguing at all. You keep getting grumpy for no good reason." Bai Qingyue picked up a slice of rib from the middle and placed it atop Li Meirong’s already filled rice bowl, his every movement was unhurried and graceful.

Then, he gave a low chuckle and pointed at it with his chopsticks "It’s not good for you to eat when you are angry. Here, try this and tell me what you think."

"No good reason, he says..." Li Meirong grumbled under her breath, but her attention soon drifted to the stuffed bowl.

The savoury aroma of the slow-cooked meat smelled very appetizing, and it didn’t take long for her to pick her own chopsticks and sample the rib.

Upon nibbling on a slice, the soft texture of slow-cooked beef led her to let out an appreciative moan, it was so tender that even the bone was edible. Also, the dish wasn’t too salty and only a tad spicy, it had been seasoned just right.

"Oh, it’s really tasty! You’re quite skilled!"

Bai Qingyue knowingly smirked in triumph after seeing that his little wife’s mood was improving, "It is good that you like it."

Li Meirong nodded her head enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, Bai Qingyue didn’t bother with eating, he was far too occupied with watching the silly girl behaving adorably. She squeezed her little hands into fists and pressed them against each side of her cheeks in contentment.

Indeed, the Fox Lord concluded that his little wife really seemed to enjoy the small things that life had to offer. He had to make sure that he properly rewarded the fox twins for pleasing his wife with their cooking.

Watching Li Meirong look so happy from munching on the food increased the Bai Qingyue’s determination to master the art of cooking. Naturally, he wouldn’t be able to offer her anything that he made until he would possess the required skills.

However, for now... this would do.

"Do you like eating this type of meat?" Bai Qingyue casually inquired.
