Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 433

Chapter 433: Potato Croquette
Lu Jueyu likes her husband’s kisses and was just worried about being seen by the children. So, she pushed him gently and said, “Husband, we are living with Xiao Li and Xiao Huang now. You should restrain yourself. If we are seen by them, it will not be a good thing for their psychological growth.”

After hearing her words, Li Chenmo smiled and said teasingly, “Alright then. I will listen to my wife. In this case, I will only do it behind closed doors.”

After saying that, he kissed her again before letting her go. Unlike Lu Jueyu who was blushing, he looked normal, as if nothing had happened. Before she could complain, the children walked into the living room. Therefore, she could only glare at her husband.

Seeing his wife glaring at him with a red face, Li Chenmo not only showed no regrets, but also smiled meaningfully at her.

Both of them thought that no one noticed their flirtatious exchange, but Dong Li saw everything. He lowered his head, not daring to watch his adoptive parents show their affection in public.

Although he was starting to get used to their interactions, it still made him feel uncomfortable as if he was a big lightbulb. Having to pretend he didn’t see anything, Dong Li focused on eating.

Unlike her brother, Dong Huang didn’t notice anything and took a bite of the potato croquette. The moment she bit into it, the delicious filling burst out and filled her mouth.

The soft mashed potato layer contains savory bacon, carrots, and something that tastes like milk. Although it was crispy on the outside, the inside was soft and fragrant. The taste was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue!

Lu Jueyu saw Dong Huang closing her eyes while tasting the potato croquette. In addition to the bacon and carrots, she also put some cheese into the croquettes, which made them even more delicious.

Seeing that Dong Huang liked it very much, she said, “Xiao Huang, you can dip it in this sauce. It will be more delicious.”

After saying that, she pushed a small bowl of dipping sauce to her. The dipping sauce is made with sour cream, minced bacon, paprika, parsley, pepper, and salt. It has a tangy flavor and is very creamy which balances out the greasiness.

Dong Huang nodded, dipped the croquette in the sauce, and then stuffed the remaining croquette into her mouth. Her cheeks bulged like a hamster’s, and her eyes widened in surprise as she chewed.

“How does it taste?” Lu Jueyu asked.

Dong Huang’s mouth was full and she could only nod her head while she gave a thumbs up and hummed.

“If you like it, Foster mother will pack some for you and your brother to take to school today. You can share them with your cousins and friends.”

Dong Huang swallowed the croquette in her mouth and said, “Thank you, foster mother. Xiao Huang likes it very much, it’s delicious!”

Lu Jueyu was delighted by her sincere praise and picked up another piece of croquette and put it into her bowl. She thought her husband would be jealous, but when she looked at him, she found that he was smiling and looking at them tenderly.

Although she knew her husband was the best husband and would be a great father, it was the first time she saw fatherly love in his eyes. There is no longer any jealousy for her love and concern for their adoptive children, only satisfaction and happiness.

When she came to this conclusion, she felt relieved. Fortunately, her husband is not the kind of man to be jealous of his children. If he is jealous of their children, it will be a headache if they have a son or daughter in the future.

She didn’t know that it took Li Chenmo a long time to reach his current state of mind. In the past, whenever he saw her focusing her attention on Dong Li or Dong Huang, he would be jealous and thought it would be better if they didn’t have children.

But after living with them, he gradually felt that it was good to have children. They are sensible, hard-working, and very obedient. Sometimes they say something really funny that makes him and his wife laugh. They are also very cute. With them by his side, he felt that his life was more complete and colorful as he watched them grow up day by day.

Satisfied, Li Chenmo picked up a croquette and put it in Dong Li’s bowl, while saying, “You should eat more and grow up quickly.”

It was rare for their adoptive father to show his care and concern toward them openly. So, Dong Li was very flattered by his adoptive father’s little gesture and said, “Thank you, foster father.”

“Mhmm.”

After breakfast, Li Chenmo and the children cleared the table and washed the dishes, while Lu Jueyu went to the kitchen to prepare snacks and water.

Since Dong Li usually ate with Li Jingqian and Li Jingxu, she prepared ten croquettes, six scallion pancakes, three omelets, six steamed buns, and three tubes of sweet tofu pudding for him to share.

As for Dong Huang, she would eat with Feng Lin and Lu Wenyi, so Lu Jueyu packed ten croquettes, three scallion pancakes, three omelets, six steamed buns, and three tubes of sweet tofu pudding for her.

In addition to snacks, she filled their bamboo bottles with boiled water infused with lemon slices and berries. She also added a spoonful of honey to the infused water to add flavor.

When she reached the front yard, she handed them the lunch bag. The lunch bag was given by Chen Anwen and was sewn by hand. It is made of bamboo and leftover fabric sent by Lu Jueyu before.

Bamboo is woven into a bag shape and then covered with two layers of fabric with cotton sandwiched in between to retain heat. The bag is embroidered with a little yellow duck for Dong Huang and a little black wolf for Dong Li.
