123: Chapter 123 Two Beauties Offering Unsolicited Attentiveness

In the kitchen.

Minced meat steamed egg, tomato scrambled eggs, seaweed egg drop soup, smashed cucumber with pig ears, plus a dish of moo shu pork.

This was the "feast" that Tong Liya had spent over an hour preparing and serving to the table.

Except for the smashed cucumber with pig ears, which barely escaped the fate, the other four dishes were all obsessed with eggs.

One who didn't know better would think today was some kind of International Egg Tasting Day.

"Husband, how does it taste?"

Tong Liya hadn't even had time to take off her apron. She sat obediently on the dining chair with her legs together, hands supporting her chin, her watery autumn-ripple eyes staring intently at Lin Chen, filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Lin Chen swallowed the moo shu pork in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and nodded solemnly: "Hmm, although there is still a lot of room for improvement, as your debut in Culinary Arts, it is already quite good."

"Really?!" Tong Liya's eyes instantly lit up like little light bulbs.

She knew Lin Chen's sharp tongue too well.

Usually, whether it was about people or things, being able to squeeze a "not bad" out of his mouth had a gold content definitely higher than the praise of a five-star chef!

"Really." Lin Chen nodded again to confirm.

Although this girl had a mysterious obsession with eggs tonight, the heat and seasoning were barely passing, and she didn't mistake salt for sugar; at least one could tell she had put in effort.

"Thank you, Husband! Mua~!" Tong Liya beamed with joy and blew him a flying kiss without any hesitation.

Gulnazar, sitting opposite, was anxious and tried desperately to wink at Tong Liya.

Seeing that the other party was completely immersed in the joy of being praised and didn't react, Nazar simply kicked her hard under the table.

"Ouch!" Tong Liya came back to her senses and immediately remembered their "dragon-slaying plan."

She coughed lightly and said to Lin Chen as if nothing had happened: "Husband, it's a beautiful night, shall we have some wine tonight?"

"Wine? Why drink wine for no reason?" Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, my first time cooking was a huge success. Such a memorable moment, of course, we must open a bottle of wine to celebrate! You wait, I'll go get the wine!"

Not giving Lin Chen a chance to refuse, Tong Liya got up and walked to the temperature-controlled wine cabinet, directly taking two bottles of high-proof Wuliangye and three baijiu decanters.

She deftly filled three glasses with wine.

Tong Liya picked up her glass, blinked at Lin Chen, and proposed: "Husband, drinking alone is so boring. Let's play a little drinking game, the loser drinks."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the two women's faces with a hint of scrutiny.

"If someone is overly attentive for no reason, they are either up to no good or plotting something. Are you two plotting something today?"

Lin Chen was as clear as a mirror in his heart.

These women usually didn't touch a drop of alcohol at home.

This was not only because they had to maintain their figure and skin condition as female celebrities, but also because their alcohol tolerance was truly pathetic.

Thinking back to the beginning, if it weren't for these top-tier women getting blacked out at the wrap party, they wouldn't have been confusedly packed up by the system and sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate with a poor guy like him.

Now these two actually took the initiative to propose drinking baijiu; it was definitely a weasel paying respects to a chicken, with no good intentions!

"Oh, what conspiracy! I just think eating alone is too boring. Drinking a little wine to help the mood, it's better for sleeping at night. Husband, come on, come on~"

Tong Liya directly used her trump card, twisting her water-snake waist and acting coquettishly.

Dealing with a steel straight man like Lin Chen who eats soft but not hard, acting coquettishly was always the best weapon to break his defense.

Sure enough, Lin Chen's eyes softened, and he nodded helplessly: "Alright."

In fact, as long as his bottom line wasn't touched, Lin Chen had an almost limitless indulgence toward his women in trivial matters of life.

If it were an outsider who dared to play such tricks on him, he would have kicked them out long ago.

"Speak, what tricks do you want to play?"

Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, "But let me say the ugly words first, I have been winning games since I was a child. If you get drunk later, don't cry and say I'm bullying you."

"Heh!"

Tong Liya and Gulnazar exchanged a tacit look, sneering in their hearts.

You, Lin Chen, are indeed a once-in-a-century genius, proficient in everything from zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

But so what?

No matter how awesome you are, can you calculate that I have a cheat in my hand?

Hahahaha!

Tonight, I must get you so drunk that you won't even recognize your own mother!

"We'll play the most elegant one, guessing lantern riddles! Dare you?" Tong Liya threw out the bait.

Lin Chen's expression became strange: "Are you two sure... you want to play guessing lantern riddles with me?"

Gulnazar fanned the flames from the side: "What? Is the great talent Lin afraid? If you're scared, just admit defeat and drink three cups in a row."

Lin Chen chuckled: "You guys are using this provocative method too stiffly, but I'm the type who likes to step into traps. Come on, how do we play?"

Tong Liya excitedly slapped the table: "It's a deal! No one is allowed to cheat! For the sake of fairness, ladies first, we'll pose the question first!"

Lin Chen made a "please" gesture: "Bring it on."

Tong Liya raised her eyebrows at Gulnazar, her eyes seeming to say: Watch me take the lead!

She cleared her throat and recited the riddle clearly: "Spending money without blind tree planting, guess a solar term..."

"Mangzhong (Grain in Ear)."

Before Tong Liya's voice had completely faded, Lin Chen picked up a piece of moo shu pork and stuffed it into his mouth, reporting the answer without even raising his head.

"The ' grass' radical of the character ' flower' (Flower), don't blindly remove the ' eye' from the character ' blind' (Blind), leaving ' Death'. Combining the two makes the character ' Mang'. Planting trees in ancient times means ' kind' (Planting/Sowing). Putting it together is ' Mang kind' (Grain in Ear) from the twenty-four solar terms. Next question."

The dining room was instantly dead silent.

Only the slight sound of Lin Chen chewing the moo shu pork could be heard.

Lin Chen raised his head and found the two top-tier beauties opposite him with their mouths open, eyes wide, staring at him blankly like two stone statues.

"What? Did I answer too fast, and you haven't reacted yet?"

Lin Chen touched his nose, feeling a little awkward.

His wives wanted to play games with great interest, and he cleared it in one second; was he too unromantic?

But he really couldn't be blamed for this.

This question was as simple as one plus one equals two to him; it didn't even need to go through his brain, the answer just popped out by itself.

No way, the Master-level Writer skill is just that overbearing and unreasonable.

A top-tier text worker needs terrifying knowledge reserves, abnormal association ability, and absolute control over text.

And text disassembly games like guessing lantern riddles just happen to step perfectly into a writer's absolute comfort zone.

In this field, Lin Chen is a god.

He can not only instantly solve any lantern riddle, but even if he wants to, he can casually make up hundreds of hell-difficulty peerless lantern riddles, making these two girls doubt life.

That's why he found it funny just now.

Playing word games with a Master-level writer? Isn't that like an old man eating arsenic, tired of living?
