17 Unforgettable nigh

After eating xiaobaolong, the opening snack, I present her with the next dish, the soup.

"Wifey, you should try this soup too. It's the same soup that used to fill the xiaolongbao that you just eat"

While explaining the soup, I pour some into Ming Er bowl. She looks at her bowl but not taking it, instead, she looks at me blinking her pretty eyes with open her mouth. I chuckled looking how cute she is when she asked me to feed her again with her gesture. So I take the spoon and start to scoop the soup from the bowl and drive the spoon to her mouth.

"Open your mouth….aaammmm"

She swallowed the spoon in her mouth and chew the content slowly and open her mouth again after gulping it. Since she dares to tease me, I also tease her by moving the spoon slowly into her mouth. one time, two times, three times, finally she becomes impatient. While pouting her mouth she's taking the bowl from my hand.

"Too slow! I can die from hunger if your hand move that slow"

But after saying that she laughing, I also laughing because I know she's only joking with me. Within minutes she already emptied her bowl and asks for the second serving.

"One more. I'm starving waiting for your hand moves"

I'm chuckled hearing what she said, she also smiles wide after handed her bowl. I refill her bowl and handed back to her. She also empties the second bowl within minutes. After finishing her soup, she speaks to me

"Husband, this is the best soup I ever eat. Although there are some pepper and ginger in the soup, it doesn't make my belly hot. Only make my body feel warm. The sourness from vinegar also in the correct amount, just like eat the original dish from southern China"

"You like it?"

"Very much. So what next surprise you prepared for me, husband?"

"Watch this"

I open the lid at the squirrel shape mandarin fish dish. Fresh steam from the fish dish spreading after I open the lid. Ming Er sniffing the smell that carried in the air.

"Um, smells good, and elegant fish shaping. Husband, can we eat that now?"

I only smile and handed her rice bowl and after that take fish meat pieces and put it in her bowl. Every time her bowl empty, I put it again until she covers her bowl with her hand

"Enough husband, I don't want to throw up and send this delicious food out from my belly. It would waste your effort into cooking this delicious food if I throw up"

"How's the taste?"

"Perfect! My tongue give 100 marks for your cooking"

"Thank you, wifey. Would you like something to drink?"

"Um, but not wine again. I get tipsy if drink too much wine"

"Okay, I already prepared orange juice. Would you like some?"

"Oranges? I would love to. Didn't I say I like something sour lately"

I take some blended orange juice from the kitchen and handed the glass to her. She takes it and drink it slowly and emptied the glass.

"Husband, this is the most delicious dinner I ever have in my life. I don't understand why those fools don't want to eat here. If they know what they missed, they will regret it for a long time"

"Hmm, let it be. One day I will make them waiting in a long line before they can eat what I cook"

Ming Er chuckled upon hearing what I'm saying. She raises her thumb up as praise.

"Oh, I have something else for you Ming Er, I hope you don't mind to accept it. It's not something new or expensive, but its something that has good memory for me"

I'm kneeling in front of her seat while taking the ring out from my pocket.

"Would you accept this?"

Ming Er nodded with teary eyes. I take her hand and put the ring on her ring finger. Fortunately, the ring is not too small or too bigger for her finger, although not 100% fit in her finger, but it can enter her ring-finger and stay in there without loosen.

"Ben Ben…thank you"

Ming Er wraps her arms around my neck and whispering in my ears

"Tonight is an unforgettable night for me. Thank you for loving me, Ben Ben"
