"Wife, I usually eat only three bowls of rice. But because you care about me and you served me such delicious food, I ate an extra bowl tonight." He gives her a playful wink. "You jumped into the river for me and I know you did it with love, so I ate an extra bowl tonight just for you..." He expects his wife to take charge eventually; her small frame probably doesn't have the strength to do so, he needs to save energy to be both resistant and encouraging.

Xiao Yuchuan doesn't back down. "Pfft! Even if you're my brother, it's not your place to interfere in how my wife and I develop our relationship." He'd let his second brother beat him twice because he deserved it, but when he's right, he's no pushover. He looks at Qingyue with a smile. "No need to rush, dear. I'm patient and can wait for you."

Su Qingyue simply lowers her head and focuses on eating.
