Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1326: Years Of Misunderstanding ( 1 )
Lu Cheng and Bai Jian shook hands before he turned to his wife and said, "Brother Lu, this is my wife, Wang Qiuhe."
"Wife, these are my friends, Brother Lu Han and his brother," he introduced them to his wife.
Hearing this, Wang Qiuhe nodded at them and smiled embarrassedly. She didn't know that these people were her husband's friends. They had seen how her mother-in-law treated her and her husband.
She glanced at her husband and thought, 'Will my husband blame me for making him lose face in front of his friend?'
Noticing her gaze, Lu Han smiled and said, "Brother Bai, I won't bother you and your wife while you are having breakfast. Let's talk later."
Bai Jian nodded and said, "Okay."
After they walked to Wang Muxiao's bed, they saw her stretching her neck and asking, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lu Cheng sighed when he saw how eager his wife was to listen to gossip and replied, "That young man is Eldest Brother's friend."
Wang Muxiao was taken aback and said, "Such a coincidence."
Lu Han glanced at his friend and nodded, "Indeed."
When they returned, Chen Anwen had already taken out the dishes from the bamboo baskets. Today, she prepared quinoa instead of porridge or steamed buns for her sister-in-law.
The quinoa was prepared similarly to fried rice as she added mushrooms, snow peas, and scallions. She added garlic and sesame oil to enhance the flavors.
Besides quinoa, she also prepared fish soup, vegetable salad, a basket of berries, brown sugar eggs, and pickled vegetables.

As she placed the dishes on the small bedtable, Lu Han pulled the curtain to block people's gazes.
She handed the thermos flask with brown sugar eggs inside and a spoon to Wang Muxiao while saying, "Second Sister-in-law, eat the eggs first to warm up your body before you eat the rest."
Wang Muxiao took the thermos flask and said, "Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law. You must have woken up before dawn to prepare these."
Hearing her words, Chen Anwen chuckled and said, "I didn't wake up that early. Mother and your eldest brother also helped me prepare the food."
When she saw that her sister-in-law wanted to thank her again, she added, "Alright, you should eat quickly before the children wake up. Otherwise, you will be too busy to eat later."
Wang Muxiao nodded and ate the brown sugar eggs. There were several thin slices of ginger in the brown sugar soup. The amount was perfect—warming up her body but not too spicy to burn her throat.
The brown sugar soup was not overly sweet to the point of being sickening, and the eggs were slightly runny. It was very fragrant and delicious when eaten together with the brown sugar soup.
Sitting on the side eating the quinoa, Lu Cheng swallowed when he saw his wife eating.
Noticing her husband's expression, Wang Muxiao finished the half-eaten egg, handed the thermos flask to her husband, and said, "Husband, help me finish the rest."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng shook his head and said, "No, you should finish it. It's good for your health."
"But I also want to eat the rest. If I finish it, I will be too full to eat the other dishes," Wang Muxiao said while glancing at the dishes on the table and licking her lips.
Thinking that his wife indeed couldn't eat much, Lu Cheng put down his bowl and said, "Okay, but you need to eat more fish soup later."
"Okay, okay! I will listen to you," Wang Muxiao replied and shoved the thermos flask into her husband's hands.
Afterward, she reached out to get a bowl of quinoa and ate with relish.
While Lu Cheng thought his wife was being willful, Lu Han and Chen Anwen smiled at them. Their sister-in-law was considerate. She used this white lie just to let her husband have a taste of the brown sugar eggs.
At the same time, Wang Qiuhe finished her fish soup and placed the empty bowl on the bedside table. With the curtain drawn and her husband sitting so close to her, she felt that her heart was beating so fast that it could jump out of her chest.
She looked at her husband and said, "Husband, I'm sorry to make you embarrassed in front of your friends."
Hearing this, Bai Jian was taken aback. He glanced at his wife and asked, "Wife, why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"
As he talked, his hand did not stop. He had brought back two cans of powdered milk to nourish his wife's body. He insisted on giving her a cup of milk in the morning and evening every day.
Lowering her head, Wang Qiuhe picked at her nail as she said in a low voice, "I… I don't look good, and I am not smart. Your friend's family even saw our conflict with Mother. Husband, I—"
Before she could finish the rest of her words, a warm, big palm covered her hands, stopping her from picking her nails. She raised her head and met her husband's deep eyes.
"Qiuhe, don't blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. All these years, it was me who had wronged you. I couldn't accompany you and our children, leading you to be bullied by my family," Bai Jian said, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Looking at his wife's yellow and haggard face, the scene of their first meeting flashed through his mind. In just nine years, his wife lost her youth and beauty.
But even though she looked much older than her actual age now and no longer had the beauty of youth, his heartbeat would still speed up whenever he was with her. Whenever he looked at her, the urge to get closer to her not only disappeared but grew stronger.
Although the two of them met due to the arrangement of their families, he really liked her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her as they built their family.
