Chapter 1616: Chapter 1616: The Story of Egg Fried Rice

Lin Tong’s heart seemed to stop at that moment, stunned and completely breathless.

She raised her head in terror.

She saw Ye Xuan swaggering out of the kitchen, carrying a plate filled with...

Lin Tong was dumbfounded, looking at Ye Xuan in shock, she spoke woodenly: "Hus... Husband, what kind of trick are you playing?"

"No tricks at all, can’t you see it clearly?"

Ye Xuan walked up to Lin Tong, offered the plate and chopsticks, and grinned harmlessly: "Look, this is my treasure, darling, enjoy it!"

Shocked!

The legendary Black Emperor who dominated the Western battlefield for years never losing, the creator of the world’s top Mercenary Group "Purgatory," unbeatable and sweeping countless Martial Arts experts, treated as a treasure...

A plate of fried rice?

Oh no.

To be accurate, it’s barely qualified to be called fried rice at all.

Because there’s no egg in this fried rice!

Not only is there no egg, but it looks like there’s even a lack of the simplest oil!

At a glance, there are only grains of rice, charred from lack of oil, with uneven colors, looking extremely unsightly!

Fried rice?

Lin Tong was completely puzzled.

Having been spoiled since childhood, she lived for over twenty years, and barely ever had fried rice, let alone seen such a tragic-looking fried rice like the one in front of her.

Is this even food for people?

Is this truly Ye Xuan’s treasure?

Ye Xuan, what are you up to!

Lin Tong suddenly snapped awake, staring blankly at Ye Xuan: "This... this is your treasure?"

"Yes, it is my treasure!" Ye Xuan replied earnestly.

"Are you sure?" Lin Tong still found it hard to believe.

"Of course I’m sure." Ye Xuan looked at Lin Tong with a peculiar expression: "Darling, judging by your expression, you seem quite disappointed? No way, do you think my treasure is not meant for eating?"

"Of course not!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Lin Tong glared, denying before even thinking.

Then she calmed down, her face flushing red again after being pale from the shock.

Oh my gosh.

What a huge misunderstanding!

Ye Xuan’s so-called treasure was just a plate of fried rice. Though it looked hard to swallow, biting the bullet was not something unbearable, while she, somehow imagined it was something else, delaying several months!

Who knows how I managed these few months?

Every time Ye Xuan mentioned it, she felt guilty for days!

Lin Tong, how can you be so shameless? How can your thoughts be so dirty? You’re... You’re simply shameless!

"Since it’s not, then why are you still stunned?" Ye Xuan wiggled the plate in his hand, urging: "Darling, a promise is a promise, since you agreed to eat my treasure tonight, you can’t back out just because of its appearance."

Lin Tong finally snapped back, her blush hard to fade, looking at the hideous plate of fried rice, she sighed heavily in her heart.

Luckily it was just a misunderstanding!

With relief, the feeling of guilt in Lin Tong’s heart surged again.

She misunderstood Ye Xuan’s character, and this misunderstanding lasted for more than half a year!

Thinking of this, Lin Tong hurriedly took the fried rice and chopsticks, and started gobbling them at the dining table.

The fried rice was hard to eat, dry and tasteless, but Lin Tong ate very quickly, even faster than any meal she ever had in her life, because she felt, this was the respect she owed Ye Xuan.

It was also a form of compensation!

Of course, there was also a reason of feeling grateful after narrowly escaping the ordeal, making everything seem delicious.

No matter how terrible it tastes, at least it’s better than that thing, right?

As Ye Xuan watched Lin Tong’s expression, a comforting smile spread across his lips.

Pop!

He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, then sat far across from Lin Tong, saying leisurely: "Darling, do you know why this plate of fried rice, which looks terrible and tastes terrible, is my treasure?"

Lin Tong hearing this was taken aback and couldn’t help but glance at Ye Xuan.

Yes, why?

Ye Xuan chuckled: "Because to me, this fried rice holds a very special significance."

Lin Tong blinked, watching Ye Xuan intently, motioning him to continue.

Ye Xuan said: "You know, my family’s circumstances were special when I was young, especially during the time I left the Ye Family, it was extremely tough, tough to the point that even a decent meal was a luxurious wish."

Lin Tong’s heart twitched, her nostrils suddenly felt sour.

She knew, she always knew!

"Back then, the thing I ate the most was this kind of fried rice, couldn’t afford eggs, couldn’t afford vegetables, couldn’t even afford oil, my choices were limited to the leftover sour rice from fast food restaurants. Hunger was painful, and surviving daily eating such food was equally painful! Fortunately, later I met my master, who took me away and taught me everything."

"Later, I went abroad for battles, made a living out of killing, economic conditions were no longer so difficult, for a full three years, seeing rice almost made me vomit, as long as there were alternatives, I avoided rice. In retrospect, I realized that those hardest times were my most fulfilling moments."

Ye Xuan finished speaking.

The air fell into silence.

Lin Tong was already in tears.

She always knew Ye Xuan’s youth was extremely destitute, but she never knew that in Ye Xuan’s suffering, there was this story about fried rice.

Time gone is irreplaceable, dead people can’t come back.

Those poorest years, that even amid all his unyielding strength, are treasures he can never regain!

No greater pain in this world!

Lin Tong wiped the tears from her face, forced a smile, gazed at Ye Xuan with deep affection, and said: "Husband, come over here."

Ye Xuan shook his head:"I’m smoking, you don’t like the smell of smoke."

Lin Tong said no more, directly brought the plate over, and sat beside Ye Xuan, hugging him tightly: "Husband, you’re no longer alone, you have me, you have Qiuge, Xiao Ying, Xiao Yunduo, Yumo, Wanwan and Miaochan, you’re never lonely again."

"I know." Feeling the softness in his embrace, Ye Xuan’s heart flooded with warmth: "I haven’t been lonely for a long time, I just wanted to let you know about these past events, after all, a couple should be of one heart, right?"

"Yes!" Lin Tong nodded firmly: "United as a couple, this fried rice is especially delicious!"

Ye Xuan smiled: "If it’s delicious then eat more."

"Mhm!"

Lin Tong finished the fried rice in one go, not leaving a single grain.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan also showed a deeply satisfied smile on his face.
