Chapter 37 Don't Spoil Her

once the most fertile. But now, the vegetation on both banks was withered and dying. Even the trees stood bare and skeletal, their branches littered with fallen leaves of yellowed hues. The once-lush..."Junjia, this year's New Year's Day is actually spent here..."

It was already deep into the night. Qiao Bao'er had been feeling down all day, and couldn't sleep at night. She came to the back garden to enjoy the scenery.

Looking at the rare flowers in Jun's garden and the exquisite, ancient corridors, she felt everything was unreal. She had never imagined that she could live in such a magnificent place.

"No wonder those women look at Junzhi Mu like they're looking at meat, with hungry eyes..." Marrying into the Jun family is really very glamorous.

A night wind blew, Qiao Ba'er shrank her neck and rubbed her hands together, it was really cold.

"What are you doing here" a low voice suddenly said from behind him.

Jo Baoer, hearing the sound, immediately became alert.

She turned to look at Jun Zhimu striding towards her. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

What is he back for Isn't he supposed to be staying in the hospital with his Ms. Liu

All was silent around them. The moon hung low and dim tonight, the only light coming from the orange street lamps in the garden. Junzhi Mu saw her cheeks flushed a delicate pink from the chill wind.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night" For some reason, his voice sounded agitated.

Couldn't I just take a walk in the garden She wanted to retort, but didn't dare.

"After 10 o'clock at night, go back to the bedroom and go to sleep!" Jun Zhimu seemed to be able to read her mind, giving her a cold command.

"Why!" she retorted, her voice rising in anger.

He's so gentle with Miss Liu, but as soon as she comes back, she scolds me. What gives her the right

His gaze deepened, becoming increasingly complex. He took a step forward, and inexplicably, his voice was laced with anger, "Do you think it's suitable for a pregnant woman to run around everywhere!"

"I didn't..." She started to retort, but then she remembered that she had indeed gone out just a moment ago.

He lowered his eyes, watching her palm turn red from the cold. His expression was even more impatient. Without a word, he reached out and pulled her toward the house.

As expected, her hand was ice-cold, making Junzhi Mu's steps even more agitated.

Qiao Bao'er was suddenly pulled by him, almost dragged away. She was very unhappy, "Hey, let go, I can walk myself..."

Jun Zhi Mu heard her making a ruckus behind him, his face was not looking good. He brought her into the room and immediately let go of her.

"Go back to the bedroom!" His voice sounded a bit impatient.

Qiao Bao'er looked at him with that cold, icy face and felt even more resentful.

"I won't sleep!"

She puffed up her cheeks and replied with three words.

"You!" Junzhi Mu's face darkened with anger, he actually dared to talk back.

"Qiao Bao'er, what did you ask me for last time You said you would reflect on how to be a good mother. You were blowing the night wind all over the place while pregnant. Don't you have common sense!"

Qiao Baoer pursed her lips and didn't dare to refute any longer. She lowered her head, her expression somewhat ashamed.

Jun's gaze fell on her as she suddenly fell silent, head drooping as if truly reflecting. He felt a mix of anger and helplessness towards her.

"Go back to the bedroom and rest." This time, his tone was noticeably softer.

"I don't sleep." She still said that.

Jun's gaze narrowed, his eyes fixed on the woman across from him.

He had known all along that this woman was trouble, a handful to say the least.

"Qiao Bao'er, what do you want to do..." Jun Zhi Mu remembered the other people advising him not to make things difficult for Qiao Bao'er. Now looking at her, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He endured his temper and asked back in a deep voice.

"I'm hungry," Qiao Baoer mumbled, looking down at her toes under his gaze. "Grandpa said pregnant women shouldn't eat too much, but my stomach is big..."

Jun Zhi's usually cold face froze for a moment, taken aback by her statement, 'I have a big stomach'.

Qiao Bao'er lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Her cheeks were a little embarrassed, and she was too hungry to sleep...

"No, don't wake the chef." She peeked up secretly and saw Junzhimu preparing to call for someone. She immediately stopped him, "I don't want to wake anyone up in the middle of the night, besides,"

She looked a little guilty. "I don't like that tasteless nutritional meal." Who would want to eat that, it's even worse than congee!

This woman is such a picky eater!

Jun's face darkened, his gaze complex and lingering on her for a long time...

Actually, Qiao Baoer wasn't quite sure what was going on either. In the end… they both sneaked into the kitchen.

Originally, she had planned to sneak into the kitchen for something to eat while everyone was asleep, just to fill her stomach. But Jun Zhi Mu actually cooked noodles for her! Qiao Bao'er was quite surprised and touched.

"Can you cook" Junzhi Mu glanced at her, signaling her to get out of the way.

Jo Bao'er can't cook. She's basically a kitchen disaster. Even after years of practice, she has no talent for it. She can't even make a decent bowl of noodles.

Qiaoba'er stayed honestly in the corner, watching Junzh牧 take out some dragon beard noodles, chop some green onions and beef slices, and he even marinated the beef with some seasonings.

I was surprised the other day when Junzhi made a black bean eel soup. I didn't expect him to be such a good cook.

"Lord Shepherd, do you have any special hobbies when it comes to cooking" she exclaimed.

Junzhi Mu held his kitchen knife for a moment, then turned his head to look at her with a vague meaning, as if he was somewhat annoyed and ignored her.

Jo Baoer noticed the anger on his profile and quickly added, "Actually, I meant that men who can cook are really amazing. Seriously, I used to think about marrying a chef."

"Oh." he said lightly, his mind drifting back to past events, his expression a mixture of complexity and restraint.

Jo Bao'er felt that he seemed different tonight. After thinking about it, she probably thought it was because of the New Year.

"Could you make tempura, Master" she asked cautiously.

He looked up at her, clearly seeing Qiao Baier's greedy expression. Her big eyes were sparkling as she stared at him with intense longing to eat.

Jun, the shepherd, was furious. "There are no shrimp!" he exclaimed. He didn't know why he bothered to listen to her.

"I saw a lot of soft-shell crabs in the small pond at home. They were brought over from Australia..." Her voice was a little excited, "Crispy fried soft-shell crab is delicious!"

Mix the flour, eggs, and water into a batter. Remove the gills from live soft-shell crabs and coat them directly in the batter. Fry them in hot oil until golden brown, and then... you have a plate of crispy fried soft-shell crabs.

"You are so amazing, my lord!"

Qiao Baoer was a bit excited and took the large bowl of noodles from his hand proactively. She used chopsticks to pick up two crispy soft-shelled crabs and dropped them into the noodle soup, "I'm easy to please, I don't need you to make soy sauce for me." Just soak them in the noodle soup and eat.

Jun Zhi Mu glared at her excited expression, "You dare to say you're easy to take care of after that"

Qiao Baoer brought her delicious meal to the outdoor table and ate it ravenously. Jun Zhimu stood beside her, watching her with satisfaction.

Suddenly, his expression became a bit complicated. He didn't know what was wrong with him tonight, but he actually helped her with such a pointless thing.

After eating and drinking her fill, Qiao Bao'er felt particularly happy. She leaned closer to him and sincerely thanked him once more.

"Full" "Satisfied" Jun Zhi Mu stared at her smiling foolishly, his eyes narrowed in anger. He commanded, "Go to sleep!" Zhimu and the others immediately, she thought about swimming back down to the lake bottom to find them.A white shadow emerged from the lake bottom, it was the white tiger. Qiao Ba'er gasped and insti...
