Chapter 183
After opening up about their feelings, Luo Shiyan and the others clearly became more intense in their "competition for affection."
During dinner:
"Come, Ge'er, try this. The braised pork is made by your mother. See if it tastes like home," Lady Qian said.
By "home," she meant the modern era.
For Luo Ge, Lady Qian was a person from the future, considering when she had arrived.
But mother and daughter shared a common passion: a love for good food.
Apart from her scientific research, Lady Qian spent most of her free time immersed in the culinary world, experimenting with various dishes.
However, in the future, many foods had become commercialized and machine-made.
It was difficult to find authentic, traditionally crafted dishes.
Moreover, as her research often consumed much of her time, she hadn't mastered many "hometown" traditional dishes.
She could, however, proudly present the soups and pastries she had learned to make in this world.
As for "hometown" cuisine, braised pork was arguably her best dish.
But given the time gap, she wasn't sure if her version matched what Luo Ge remembered from her time.
She also didn't know if it would suit Luo Ge's taste, so she watched her daughter nervously as she tried it.
Luo Ge didn't disappoint her. She had several servings of the braised pork with rice, nodding approvingly with a smile in her eyes.
"It's delicious, just like home," she said.
"That's wonderful! I'm so glad. Have as much as you like. I'll make it again for you tomorrow," Lady Qian said, delighted to hear Luo Ge's praise.
Luo Juan quickly placed a bowl of soup next to Luo Ge. "Don't just eat rice. Have some soup to wash it down."
Seeing his parents' actions, Luo Shiyan refused to be outdone and added two chicken legs to Luo Ge's plate.
"Sister, eat more meat," he urged.
Little Zhen Heng, observing the adults' behavior, blinked twice and offered Luo Ge what he considered the tastiest dish.
"Auntie, this is the best," he said.
"......" Luo Ge and Ling Yun exchanged glances and smiled, nodding in acknowledgment.
"Alright," Luo Ge said.
Beside them, Gu Jinchen: "........"
Gu Yunmu and Gu Yunxi: "........."
Why did they suddenly feel such a strong sense of crisis?
Realizing the situation, they quickly joined the "feeding team."
In the end, Luo Ge looked embarrassed at her bowl, now piled high like a small mountain.
"Ya ya ya~"
"Yi ya~"
"Ha ya ya~"
The babies nearby, seeing this scene, also chimed in with their babbles, joining the lively atmosphere with their toothless grins.
They watched while nibbling on their own little hands.

Later that night:
"Ahem, what's wrong?" Luo Ge asked.
After returning to their room, Gu Jinchen had been staring at her with a grieving look. Unable to bear it any longer, she finally spoke up.
Hearing his wife's words, Gu Jinchen put on a pitiful expression but remained silent.
It must be said that with his handsome face, this expression made one feel incredibly guilty.
"Ahem, want some?" Luo Ge felt sympathetic and quietly offered him the sunflower seeds in her hand.
Gu Jinchen accepted them, shelled them, and fed them back to her.
But his expression hadn't softened; he still looked wronged.
"From now on, my wife won't be mine alone," he said.
He already had to share her with their five children at home, and now there were five more people to contend with.
Although he understood they were all Luo Ge's relatives who cared deeply for her, and he was happy to see more people loving her,
The thought of having to share his beloved wife with so many people, dividing the "affection" that belonged to him among so many others,
Made him miserable!
"........"
Hearing this, Luo Ge was stunned for a moment. She found it amusing but didn't dare laugh seeing his expression.
She could only suppress her amusement and look at Gu Jinchen seriously.
"How could that be? In my heart, you're still the most important, the one and only, the one I love the most."
It sounded a bit like a player's line, ahem.
As a traditional man from ancient times, Gu Jinchen had never encountered such lines before.
Hearing Luo Ge's words, he felt his ears grow hot, his eyes instantly brightening, his handsome face slightly flushed.
"Really?" he asked, looking down at her earnestly.
Luo Ge nodded with a smile, "Of course."
His place in her heart was indeed unique.
It was different from her feelings for the children, Yun Mu, and Lady Qian.
She wasn't lying about that.
He was special in his own right.
Satisfied with her affirmative answer, Gu Jinchen picked her up and placed her on the bed.
Lowering his gaze to her moist, red lips, he leaned down and covered them with his own.
Luo Ge obediently closed her eyes and gently responded to his kiss.
Encouraged by her response, the man's attack grew more intense, as if he wanted to devour the delicate woman in his arms.
Only when she was breathless and her body had softened did he finally release her.
His eyes, filled with passion, gazed intently at the person before him. His voice was hoarse with desire: "My wife, may I...?"
The man's heavy breathing tickled her face.
Luo Ge, her small face flushed red, didn't speak, but only tightened her arms around his neck.
The night was deep, perfect for the merging of water and fire, the harmony of passionate sounds.......
The moonlight was just right, its frosty glow falling on the ground, branches casting intertwining shadows.....
