Why was Chen Haoxuan kicked out by Chen Yina? Only Chen Haoxuan and Chen Yina knew the reason; others would never guess it, no matter how hard they tried.
Chen Haoxuan sighed as he turned and walked toward the room where Jiang Xianghan and Han Yuanchan were sleeping, covering his lower body with his clothes. The truth was that he had been too vigorous, and Chen Yina was left in a state of exhaustion. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and forced Chen Haoxuan out, telling him to find other women. It had been over a year since Chen Haoxuan had been with a woman; how could he not be vigorous?
The next morning, neither Chen Yina, Jiang Xianghan, nor Han Yuanchan lingered in bed, using the excuse that they hadn't slept well the night before. As the culprit, Chen Haoxuan personally brought them century egg congee for breakfast.
Zhou Kexin could tell why Chen Yina and the others were slow to get up; she secretly blamed Chen Haoxuan for not coming to her room.
If Chen Haoxuan knew Zhou Kexin's thoughts, he would be shocked. Zhou Kexin didn't consider that she had slept with Hua Lingwei the previous night. She was Chen Haoxuan's woman, but Hua Lingwei was not; should she let Hua Lingwei witness their intimacy?
Chen Yina and the others didn't get out of bed until noon. Their walking posture was different from usual, which everyone noticed but chose not to mention.
At noon, Chen Haoxuan cooked a feast for everyone, using ingredients he had brought back from the Dragon Group. There were many precious ingredients: Centennial Ginseng, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon (a fragrant herb used in stews), and even bear paw, which one of the Dragon Group members had obtained during a mission abroad.
Before Chen Haoxuan finished cooking in the kitchen, Chen Yina and the others couldn't help but gather at the kitchen door, their mouths watering as they heard the sounds of cooking. With so many precious ingredients being used, how could it not smell delicious?
Zhou Kexin poked Chen Yina's back with her finger and winked at her while pointing at Chen Haoxuan. She wanted Chen Yina to ask him when they could eat. Understanding her hint, Chen Yina called out to Chen Haoxuan, "Brother Xuan, is it ready? When can we eat?"
Chen Haoxuan turned around with a smile and said to them, "Look at how eager you all are! Good food isn't easy to prepare. You might as well go for a walk to avoid thinking about food all the time."
"Xuan, what exactly are you cooking? It smells so good! I wasn't even hungry before, but now my stomach is growling," Jiang Xianghan asked.
"The aroma is coming from stewed chicken made with an old hen. I've added Centennial Ginseng, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, fresh mushrooms, Hundred-Year Daughter Red wine, abalone..." Chen Haoxuan continued to list the ingredients as he spoke, making Chen Yina and the others drool. Centennial Ginseng and Hundred-Year Daughter Red were incredibly precious; it was astonishing that he used so much of them in his cooking.
"Xuan! I think the chicken stew is almost ready, and we're all really hungry. How about we eat first?" Jiang Xianghan expressed everyone's thoughts.
"Yes, yes... Brother Xie, please let us eat first! Haoxuan, I'm really hungry..." Chen Yina and the others eagerly suggested having the chicken first.
"You’re hungry? That’s even better! Didn’t we hear a story about finding delicious food? I remember it was about a beggar taking an emperor around. The emperor had nothing to eat and survived on wild vegetables. Later, the beggar made a bowl of plain rice for the emperor, who praised it as an exquisite delicacy. So, the hungrier you are now, the better it will taste when we finally eat. Just wait a bit longer until I finish preparing all the dishes," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile.
Unable to eat right away, Chen Yina and the others pouted in dissatisfaction.
An hour later, Chen Haoxuan finally brought out a vegetable dish from the kitchen and shouted, "Dinner is ready!"
When Chen Yina and the others saw that Chen Haoxuan had cooked so many delicacies but was only serving a vegetable dish now, they protested and accused him of being stingy.
"You don’t need to look down on me. Let me explain: this vegetable is not simple; it was grown in the best environment with the finest soil, so it’s very sweet. I only added oil and salt while cooking. Although the method is simple, this vegetable must be prepared this way to be considered a gourmet dish. If you don’t want to eat this all-natural dish, I’ll just take it away!" Chen Haoxuan explained.
Chen Yina and the others were already hungry, and hearing how delicious it sounded made them grab their chopsticks and dig in: "Wow, this is really good! So sweet..."
Chen Haoxuan had eaten such dishes often in Dragon Group, so he didn’t compete with Chen Yina for food. He stood by serving them; someone of his status cooking for his women while attending to them made him a good man in their eyes, and they would definitely agree.
In the kitchen, Chen Haoxuan brought out various delicacies. He introduced each dish before allowing Chen Yina and the others to eat. Basically, every dish he served was finished within a minute by them. It wasn’t that they could eat so much; it was just that there were too many people and each dish was limited.
During dinner, Chen Haoxuan called over Li Ping's family. After finishing their meal, Li Ping and his family went downstairs to give space to Chen Haoxuan and his group.
Chen Yina and the others lay back on the sofa, all mimicking the same pose: propping up their waists with their left hands while rubbing their bellies with their right hands. Anyone who didn’t know would think they were pregnant.
Chen Haoxuan returned to his room and brought out several exquisite boxes, distributing them to Chen Yina and the others. Even Hua Lingwei received one. When Hua Lingwei received the gift from Chen Haoxuan, her face turned shyly red. The others were all Chen Haoxuan's women, yet she was not, but she still received a gift. It was clear that she held a certain place in Chen Haoxuan's heart.
"This is a gift for you all; go ahead and open it," Chen Haoxuan said with a smile to Chen Yina and the others.
Chen Yina was the first to unwrap her gift. She had changed a lot; she was no longer as withdrawn as before and had become quite cheerful. She opened the gift from Chen Haoxuan, revealing a pair of Diamond Shoes. Holding the Diamond Shoes, she stood up and ran over to Chen Haoxuan, happily kissing him on the cheek and saying, "Thank you, Brother Xuan, for the Diamond Shoes."
Hearing Chen Yina's words, Chen Haoxuan broke into a cold sweat. Crystal was cheap; what he had given her were diamond shoes made from many individual diamonds. Chen Haoxuan explained, "These are not just Diamond Shoes; they are diamond shoes. Don't get it wrong."
