Chapter 879: Chapter 879

Entering the room, Li Yuqing said, "Lin Chen, why didn't you let me explain to her?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "What's there to explain? The more you try to clarify such things, the murkier they become, especially with old women like her. She has nothing better to do and gossip spreads fast. It's fine if they think we're a young married couple."

"Hmph, you dare to take advantage of me," Li Yuqing pouted.

Lin Chen smiled placidly and sat down on the sofa, looking very much like a man who had just returned home.

"Wife, your husband is hungry. Shouldn't you cook something delicious for me?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph, go make instant noodles for yourself if you're hungry. You're out flirting with beauties all day, yet you still expect me to cook for you? No way," Li Yuqing's expression resembled that of a wronged little wife.

"Wife, do you really have the heart to let me cook?" Lin Chen said with a face full of grievance.

Li Yuqing snorted coldly, "Times have changed; it's men who should be cooking now. Get to it."

Watching Li Yuqing with her hands on her hips, Lin Chen reluctantly headed toward the kitchen.

However, Li Yuqing soon followed in: "Forget it, I'll do it. You must be tired from running around outside every day."

Seeing Li Yuqing relent, Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, let's cook together. How about this, didn't you want to learn how to cook from me? I'll teach you."

Li Yuqing's heart leapt with joy: "Sure, that shredded pork with garlic sauce you made last time was delicious, I want to learn."

Lin Chen smiled: "No problem."

Li Yuqing took charge of cutting, while Lin Chen directed from behind her.

"See, you should cut the meat , slicing sideways to make it more tender," Lin Chen guided Li Yuqing's hand as he explained.

"Lin Chen, what are you doing?" Li Yuqing asked dissatisfied.

"Me? I'm not doing anything!" said Lin Chen awkwardly.

Initially, Li Yuqing thought Lin Chen was again taking liberties with her, but then she noticed his hand was just guiding her in cutting vegetables.

So what was that behind her?

Suddenly Li Yuqing realized what it was, and her cheeks flushed red.

Lin Chen couldn't hold back any longer and finally said, "Yu Qing, let me do it instead. Giving you cooking instructions is simply torture for me."

Looking at the "tent" Lin Chen was pitching, Li Yuqing couldn't help but cover her mouth with laughter.

"Fine, I'll let you off the hook. Looking forward to the delicious food you'll make," she said.

It's no understatement that Lin Chen, with his divine culinary skills, made really scrumptious dishes. Li Yuqing polished off plate after plate, not even leaving a drop of the sauce behind.

After the meal, Li Yuqing was responsible for tidying up the dishes. Once done, she sat on the sofa, looking somewhat weary.

Seeing Li Yuqing's tired face, Lin Chen felt distressed.

Lin Chen knew just how much effort Li Yuqing had put into the Star Base.

"Tired, huh? How about I give you a massage?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Are you planning to give a massage or take advantage of me?" Li Yuqing eyed Lin Chen warily.

In these matters, Lin Chen had a history.

"Don't worry, just get comfortable." Saying this, Lin Chen unceremoniously pressed Li Yuqing into the chair, placing his hands gently on her neck.

Feeling the smoothness from his hands, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh; Li Yuqing's skin was simply too good.

Of course, this was also because Li Yuqing consistently used the skincare products she developed herself.

Lin Chen's hands gently pressed on Li Yuqing's neck, as streams of wood elementals flowed from his fingertips into her neck.

Li Yuqing felt a tingling sensation in her neck that was extremely comfortable.

The wood elementals possessed the special effect of nourishing all things, and Li Yuqing felt the fatigue in her body vanish without a trace.

"It's amazing; I felt like I was falling apart just now, but now I'm totally rejuvenated," Li Yuqing exclaimed excitedly.

"Of course, I am the young Divine Doctor after all, this basic massage is child's play for me." Lin Chen bragged.

"Don't flatter yourself too much, thank you, I'm going to take a shower now." Saying this, Li Yuqing stood up with a laugh and walked toward the bathroom.

After a few steps, Li Yuqing suddenly stopped: "You better not sneak a peek at me showering!"

Lin Chen laughed awkwardly: "Who do you think I am? How would I sneak a peek at you bathing?"

Li Yuqing looked at Lin Chen skeptically, clearly, in her mind, Lin Chen was exactly that kind of person.

Lin Chen sat on the sofa with a smile, choosing the most comfortable angle to face the bathroom. He indeed wouldn't sneak a peek; with his X-ray vision, he could watch openly and aboveboard.

Shortly after, sounds of Li Yuqing undressing and the splashing of water came from the bathroom.

Obviously, Li Yuqing had stripped off her clothes and started showering.

Lin Chen felt delighted and activated his X-ray vision, instantly turning the bathroom, which was initially blocked by the door, transparent.

In the bathroom, the mist was thick, and a graceful silhouette loomed through it. Li Yuqing's exquisite figure, with streamlined curves, made Lin Chen unable to look away.

At this moment, Li Yuqing's body was covered in foam, yet her fair skin was still on display before Lin Chen.

While Lin Chen was immersed in watching, Li Yuqing had already washed off the foam, dried herself, and walked out in a bathrobe.

Lin Chen quickly averted his gaze as Li Yuqing emerged from the bathroom, smiling, "You're done with your shower, huh?"

Li Yuqing, while drying her dripping wet hair, slowly walked towards Lin Chen.

Her bathrobe was very loose, and with her light steps, Lin Chen could even glimpse the surging whiteness inside; she was wearing slippers, revealing her pale, bare feet, which were incredibly alluring and tempting.

Li Yuqing looked at Lin Chen and said, "Alright, I've finished showering, now it's your turn to go take one."

Lin Chen stood up and nodded, and as he brushed past Li Yuqing, a whiff of the girl's fragrance wafted over, delighting his senses.

"Alright, I'll go now. By the way, do you want to sneak a peek?" Lin Chen asked with a smile as he approached the bathroom door.

"Who's going to sneak a peek at you? Just go and take your shower, and hurry up and get to sleep after," Li Yuqing said.

"Does this mean you want to sleep with me, Yu Qing?" Lin Chen asked excitedly.

"In your dreams," Li Yuqing snapped.

With a face full of pretended sadness, Lin Chen closed the door. The moment he turned around, Lin Chen was suddenly stunned.
