Forced Marriage: CEO’s Sweet Little Wife - Chapter 169
“Are you sure about what you were talking about?” Vira asked with a surprised face to her husband who was busy pushing the trolley, they were at the supermarket to provide cooking needs.
Vibo leaves the trolley.
“I am a serious person and keep my word, I made a promise in front of your friends so I have to keep it!” Vino’s voice sounded different; he wasn’t sure about what he had promised Vira two friends, but hearing stories from Sunny and Ashley made Vino’s chest burn with jealousy.
“So what are you going to cook?” Vira asked.
Seeing a supermarket shelf with a variety of food ingredients made Vino confused, how could he promise to prepare food for Vira’s two friends when he didn’t know the names of the ingredients in front of him at this time.
“S, steaks!” Vino’s voice trembled.
“Okay fine…” Vira helped Vino look for ingredients while her husband scratched the back of his neck, Vino looked very confused.
Vira has already taken the spices such as onions, garlic, pepper, broth, some vegetables, she has filled the trolley but her husband is still staring with confused eyes. “Hey, why are you silent?” Vira asked.
Hearing his wife’s question, Vino immediately rushed to the meat chopping rack, silently muttering in his heart when he saw that there were various kinds of meat on the Frozen shelf.
Why are there so many variations of meat in this cupboard, don’t you think I just need meat? Vino wondered in his heart, he took one of the pieces of meat that had been neatly packed in a box. He just took it, because he didn’t know what the difference was between the various cuts of meat on this display.
Vino put the meat of his choice into the trolley that was pushed by Vira. “What’s that?”
Vino refused to put the meat to the bottom of the trolley. Hearing his wife’s question, his eyes stared in wonder just like Vira’s eyes were on the meat box in his hand. “Are you seriously going to use that meat?” Vira asked.
Vino awkwardly looked at the meat box in his hand and nodded his head. “Well, yes of course.” The answer sounded doubtful.
“No-no, you can’t make a steak with that meat?”
“Why?” Vino asked.
“Try to look more closely at the information written on the box.”
Vino followed Vira’s advice, he began to read the information on the box and his eyes widened.
“Flank? What is flank?” Vino asked with a surprised face, “isn’t that also part of the cow?” The look in his eyes looked unsure because the eyes were honest. He didn’t understand the world of cooking, but he wanted to show up in front of his wife’s best friends.
Vira returned the box that Vino took, she put the box back on the Frozen shelf and replaced it with another meat box. “You won’t be able to make sticks using the flank part, the flank is the part of the beef belly, this part contains a lot of fat and the texture of the meat is too chewy, this part is perfect if you process it into soupy dishes such as stew or soup.”
Vino was amazed to hear the explanation from his wife.
“We can choose the tenderloin or sirloin, it is a part of the meat that is suitable to be processed into steak,” Vira explained with a suspicious expression, just the basics for cooking, Vino doesn’t know, how he can serve his wife in front of Vira two best friends tomorrow.
“Are you sure to invite my two friends and taste your food?” Vira asked, she hoped Vino could undo the promise he had made to Sunny and Ashley before it was too late.
“Of course!” Vino took the meat box in Vira’s hand and immediately threw it into the cart. “You can count on me all day tomorrow, I’ll make a good husband.”
“Are you sure?” Vira teased her husband with coquettish eyes.
Of course, the look in his wife’s eyes made Vino nervous. They looked like a very harmonious couple who were shopping at the supermarket, a handsome man in formal clothes because Vino had just returned from work, while Vira was wearing a casual shirt and jeans complete with a stylish canvas bag for college kids.
“Ahem, young people this day can even date in supermarkets.”
“Look at them. They look cute, I prefer positive partners, it seems they will learn to cook together, hihihi….”
“I see it seems, the man is afraid of the woman, the woman looks dominant, I heard her scream a little about the groceries earlier…”
“Huh, you know so much!”
Vino cleared his throat to hear the mothers gossiping about him and his wife.
“Hey What are you thinking? I already told you to cancel your promise, how come you suddenly invite my two friends and ask them to taste your cooking, it sounds impossible!” Vira continues to tease her husband with a wink, their faces looking closer.
If they weren’t in a supermarket with many visitors, the majority of whom were women, Vino would have jumped on his wife.
“Tsk, what are you saying, I won’t go back on my own words, you have to give worm medicine so your eyes don’t blink like that!” Vino’s voice sounded cynical, he took the trolley in Vira’s hand, then left his wife who was whimpering.
“Ish, why did you say I had worms, I already teased you, you know!” Vira chases after her husband.
Vino hid his laughter, just watch out when you get home.
Previous incident.
“Hey, look who’s standing in front of you, your husband has already picked you up!” Sunny nudged Vira’s shoulder, teasing a married couple who looked very harmonious and made her jealous.
“Alright then, I’ll go first!” Vira waved her hand at Sunny and Ashley.
“Hey wait, your husband picked you up here, it seems your husband is curious about us,” Ashley said, smiling teasingly at Vira.
When Vira looked for her husband’s figure, it turned out that Vino was already near them.
“Let us go home.” Vino invites Vira.
vira nodded her head but she didn’t immediately leave Sunny and Ashley staring at her husband’s face.
“Vino, introduce my two friends, Sunny and Ashley.”
“Hello, I’m Sunny, and she’s Ashley.” Sunny pointed at Ashley.
Vino furrowed his brows when his eyes met Ashley’s.
“Hey, Ashley’s, your name seems familiar to me, I seem to–”
Vira immediately covered Vino’s mouth with her palm, preventing further words from Vino’s lips.
Vira’s behavior makes Sunny and Ashley suspicious.
“You didn’t tell your husband anything strange, did you!” Ashley’s gaze found on Vira’s silly face.
Vira shook her head with a tense expression. “Of course not, isn’t that so, my dear husband?” Vira glared at her husband.
Vino himself didn’t know what he was going to say before, Nd made his wife act weird like this.
“Nod your head!” Vira’s voice whispered in her husband’s ear with a threatening tone.
Vino nodded his head following Vira’s orders.
“Vira told me that she has a nice friend..” There was a different tone to the ‘nice’ words that Vino just said.
“Of course!” Ashley replied with a faint smile, but her instincts couldn’t be fooled.
Just watch out! Ashley hissed in her heart, she gave a deadly look at Vira.
“Oh yes, it turns out that you are more handsome if look closely, I thought that Hazel was a handsome and kind man but you didn’t lose to him!” Ashley fished in the murky waters.
Feel my vengeance! Ashley hissed in her heart, she challenged Vira.
“Ashley, what are you saying!” Sunny pinches Ashley’s arm and tries to stop Ashley’s bullshit, but Ashley has other plans.
“Yes?” Vino didn’t understand Ashley’s words, he pretended to be stupid.
“Did Vira also tell about her close relationship with a man, a very popular man in college, he is a talented and kind man, oh yes Sunny, Didn’t you admire Hazel earlier, he even saved Vira from that annoying senior!” Ashley spoke to Vino then turned to Sunny, she had to come up with a plan that was subtle and natural.
“Pardon?” Vino tried to reproach.
“Ah I’m sorry, sometimes my lips are uncooperative and too honest!” Ashley slapped her mouth. “But Hazel has made me fall in love,”
Vino’s facial expression looked so dark, while Vira and Sunny, were both trying to stop the nonsense from Ashley’s lips, but Ashley was not an easy woman to stop.
Ashley, clasping her hands on her chest, put on an expression of deep thought,
“if Vira just ignores Hazel, wouldn’t you be great as someone who managed to conquer her heart?” Now she was pointing at Vino.
“That Hazel is one of our campus princes. He is handsome, smart, talented, and always protects Vira, ah you are really lucky!” Ashley patted Vira’s shoulder, making Vira’s eyes glare at her, but she still ignored it.
“Sir, at least tell me what your strengths are so that Vira submits to existence.”
Ashley’s words were too excessive and disrespectful, Vira intended to stop her friend before her relationship with Vino got worse.
“Ashley, you seem to have eaten the wrong–”
“Of course!” Vira was surprised and turned to her husband who cut her words just now.
“I’m good at taking care of the house, I may look stiff on the outside, but I’m a sweet and reliable husband when we’re at home, aren’t I, my dear wife?” Vino took Vira’s shoulders, pulled his wife’s body into his arms, he smiled at Vira, a smile that contained many meanings.
“Come to our house tomorrow, I will treat you to my delicious cooking!”
What! Vira’s eyes bulged like those almost jumped from her skull.
what did Vino just say? Was Vino digging his own grave, how could Vino say to cook and entertain her best friend, Vino couldn’t even hold a knife properly.
“Well I’m very curious, of course, Sunny and I won’t miss this opportunity.” Ashley follows Vino’s game.
“But one thing is certain, if you feel my strengths, you two must not fall in love with me!”
“I’m not sure about that…”
Vira and Sunny patted each other’s foreheads.
