Chapter 343: Chapter 342 Senior Colonel Tangâs Temptation (Part 3) Chapter 343: Chapter 342 Senior Colonel Tangâs Temptation (Part 3) âRight, she is from your family, but now sheâs part of mine, and Xiaoâai is also a member of the Tang Family, isnât that right, Xiaoâai?â
Xiaoâai nodded her head vigorously.
âHahahaha!â Tang Zelin laughed heartily.
Su Shu humphed, âPoaching is not a good habit!â
Bending down to pick up Xiaoâai, Tang Zelin moved closer. Because he was quite tall, Xiaoâaiâs line of sight instantly passed over Su Shuâs head. It was unclear whether Xiaoâai was reflecting the displeasure Su Shu had just displayed in her banter with Tang Zelin, or if she had understood their earlier conversation. She stretched out her arm, attempting to touch Su Shu.
Understanding her intent, Tang Zelin extended her arm further forward.
A tiny hand gently caressed the top of Su Shuâs head, the adorable gesture being consoling in the most heartwarming way.
Touched, Su Shu cooed and nuzzled her face into the little girlâs embrace.
âXiaoâai from my home is the best indeed!â
As Su Shu raised her head, Tang Zelin took the moment to lean in and plant a kiss on her cheek, âAm I not good?â
Su Shu gave him a light push, scolding, âBehave yourself, Iâm cooking.â
âYou cook yours, I donât mind,â he said with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
ââŠOr you could go set the table,â Su Shu gave in.
Had she known beforehand that this was what married life with Tang Zelin would be like, she wouldnât have registered their marriage. Just wait, once she finished her tasks, she was determined not to be outwitted by this old fox, not with her knowledge of him from a previous life!
Tang Zelinâs eyes quickly caught sight of two cans next to Su Shuâs hand, and he couldnât help but exclaim in surprise.
He picked them up and examined them: one of fish and one of meat.
âWhere did you get these from?â
Su Shu was adept at cooking, and in no time, the dishes were coming out of the wok ready to be served. She took the cans back from Tang Zelin, preparing to open them and pour the contents into a bowl. Seeing this, Tang Zelin said, âLet me do it, Iâll open them for you.â
âBut youâre holding Xiaoâai.â
Tang Zelin chuckled, âLet me show you how to perform the one-handed can-opening trick, shall I?â
âHehe, boastful as always.â
âDonât believe it, huh? Hand it over and donât cry when you lose.â
Tang Zelin took the can and placed it on the kitchen counter; his right hand wrapped around, with one finger pressing down on the lid and another hooking onto the tab.
Bang!
He opened the can effortlessly with his bare hands!
Disbelieving, Su Shu grabbed the other can to try for herself, but either she couldnât apply enough pressure with one finger to hold it down, or the finger hooking the tab couldnât lift it, and after much effort, she failed!
Aggravated, she reached for a knife intending to smash the can, frightening Tang Zelin into snatching the knife away with one hand, âWhy so hot-tempered? Why resort to a knife immediately? Be careful not to hurt yourself. You win; the can I opened is as if you opened it yourself!â
Su Shu glared at him: ââŠâ
With his bare hands, Tang Zelin opened the other can, âHere, pour it out. Such great stuff youâve got there; itâd be a shame to ruin it.â
All the food was prepared and displayed one by one on the table.
Tang Zelin sat Xiaoâai down on a small stool next to him, then casually hitched up his pants with both hands and plunked down.
Looking down, wow, quite a feastâa full table with six dishes and one soup, all delightful to the eye, nose, and palate, only missing a couple of shots of liquor!
Su Shu took off her apron, glanced at Tang Zelinâs heart-fluttering face, and shook her head with a chuckle. Then, out of his sight, she pulled a bottle of 53° Feitian Moutai from a storage box.
A bottle of white liquor appeared out of the blue, and not just any liquor, but the famously distinguished Moutai. Tang Zelin was truly astonished this time!
Looking up in disbelief, holding the bottle by its neck, he exclaimed, âWhere did you get this from? Itâs magic!â
With a proud tilt of her chin, Su Shu declared, âDonât you think I look particularly handsome today?â
âWife, youâre standing six feet tall today!â Tang Zelinâs eyes twinkled with stars.
