I Woke My Vegetative Husband up After Booktransmigrating

Chapter 21

Sichuan Spicy Dish

Ming Liuyi definitely wanted to go. After all, she had not had the chance to socialize ever since she transmigrated into the novel. This was a rare opportunity to learn about this world.

However, when she considered the fact that the villa was already under Yao Ziyang’s control, if she were to head out…

Ming Liuyi: [I’ll consider it.]

Lingling: [I’ll be there, too. It’ll be even better if you can come.]

Ming Liuyi: [That’s great! I’ll try to make it.]

Lingling: [I’ve sent you the link to the invitation. I’ll be expecting good news.]

Ming Liuyi tapped on the link. This invitation was fairly formal, embellished with the official seal of the charity foundation. With this, she might just be able to persuade Yao Ziyang. After some thinking, she sent the invitation directly to Yao Ziyang.

Ming Liuyi knew that Yao Ziyang would reply immediately, so she put down her phone and went to manage her other duties. It was lunchtime, and both she and Yao Zizhou had not even had their breakfast yet.

As she was preoccupied with the news Lingling gave her, she did not know what was available for lunch. Now that she had taken a look at the menu, Ming Liuyi’s expression faltered. A bowl of shredded chicken congee had been prepared for Yao Zizhou. As for the other dishes, they were all spicy dishes. If she did not know any better, she would have thought that she had transmigrated to Sichuan. There was fragrant and spicy fish, malo tofu, spicy deep-fried chicken, and cayenne pepper beef to name a few. Even the main dish was mala noodles covered in chili oil!

Ming Liuyi was certain that there was something wrong with the bowl of shredded chicken congee. After all, people in vegetative states could not eat spicy food.

In fact, Yao Ziyang was giving a pretty strong hint. Of course, she was not going to thank him for it.

That being said, the dishes did rouse her curiosity, and she tasted a few mouthfuls of each. The numbing mala spiciness was of a moderate level, and the dishes tasted pretty good. However, she had a really low tolerance to spicy dishes, and her whole face became red from it. She paced to and fro in front of the door, muttering to herself loud enough to be heard by the bodyguards, “It’s too spicy! Oh my god! My tongue feels like it’s on fire!”

Then, taking the chance to head to the bathroom, she poured all the bowl of congee down the toilet. She scrubbed the bowl clear and refilled it with clean water. Ming Liuyi believed that if she poured the chili oil out of the bowl of mala noodles before giving them to Yao Zizhou, he would not die and should be able to consume it. The spicy chicken, too. She could just discard the deep-fried skin and take out the tender meat within. Once the meat was rinsed with water, the spiciness should be reduced.

Ming Liuyi rinsed the noodles repeatedly in water and mushed them into bits with a spoon. She took that and the chicken meat that was already washed, and fed them carefully to Yao Zizhou.

Ming Liuyi could not resist saying as she fed him, “I don’t have to eat this to know that it probably doesn’t taste good. However, there’s nothing I can do about it, so you’ll have to make do. Just bear with this for a while. I’ll definitely figure something out…”

Fortunately, Yao Zizhou had no issues with his swallowing reflex, and the process of feeding him went smoothly. Once Ming Liuyi was full, and was quite sure that Yao Zizhou had eaten his fill too, she cleaned everything thoroughly to make sure that no one knew what she had done. After that, she walked to the door and told the bodyguard outside, “Get Xiao Fan to bring these down.”

Xiao Fan had been waiting outside the whole time. She hurried over the moment she heard Ming Liuyi’s voice. She had been worried that the madam would be too concerned over her husband to have an appetite, but she had finished everything. “Do you have any further instructions, madam?”

“Tell the kitchens to stop sending any spicy dishes. My stomach isn’t feeling well after eating them,” Ming Liuyi said.

Xiao Fan nodded and left.

It was nighttime before Yao Ziyang finally responded.

Yao Ziyang: [It’s good that you’re thinking of going out, sister-in-law. I hope you have a great time.]

Ming Liuyi lowered her gaze. This Yao Ziyang was a cautious man, and even the contents of his message showed nothing suspicious. But just when she was about to put down the phone, the bodyguard outside the door knocked abruptly.

Ming Liuyi went to open the door, and the bodyguard passed her another phone.

Ming Liuyi’s lips twitched. ‘Isn’t this guy being too paranoid?’ Was he afraid that she would record the conversation? She picked up the phone, “Yao Ziyang, what do you want?”

Yao Ziyang’s voice had completely changed from its previous polite tone to something sinister, “You’re trying to get through to Miao Ruiming and you’re attending the vegetable charity event. Ming Liuyi, who would have thought that you were such a good actress?”

Ming Liuyi gave a cold laugh. “I’m going to take that as a compliment. I am Madam Yao after all. All of these are well within my responsibilities.”

Yao Ziyang huffed disdainfully. “I hope you remember that you’re only acting. If I catch you doing anything funny, I can reassure you that you and Yao Zizhou will die on the same day!”

Ming Liuyi rolled her eyes, “Don’t you have anything else besides death threats? I’m just bored to death at home. If it were you, won’t you be out of your mind from having to face a vegetable every day?”

Yao demon’s eyes hardened. “You may head out. If you’re trying to take this chance to have a tryst with your ex-boyfriend, Yu Han, then I wouldn’t even have to do anything. Yao Gui will get rid of you first.”
