Chapter 82: The dining table of destiny

Steward Ji Zhong meticulously placed each delicious dish on the table. The air in the dining room was filled with enticing aromas, making one's mouth water. The table was set with exquisite porcelain and silverware, which gleamed brilliantly in the soft candlelight, like precious works of art. It all formed a beautiful scene, as if each dish was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds.

Lu Linger sat quietly at the dining table, her eyes drawn to the delicacies on the table, her eyes revealing her love and anticipation for the food. At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the heavy topics from before, immersed in the beauty before her eyes. When the crystal clear bowl of Yu Lu fish soup was served, it was like an exquisite work of art, pleasing to the eye. The delicate and evenly distributed fish meat floated on the clear soup, as white as snow, like a carefully crafted work of art. The thin strands of wood ear and shiitake mushroom floated lightly on the soup, adding a touch of agile beauty. The shredded gourd and egg shreds were dotted like stars, making the whole dish colorful and beautiful.

Lu Ling'er gently picked up the spoon and carefully scooped up a spoonful of Yu Lu fish soup. The delicate broth slowly slid down the spoon, exuding a delicate fragrance. She placed the spoon in her mouth, feeling the broth gently flowing over her tongue, bringing a warm and comforting sensation. The fish was incredibly tender and melted in her mouth, and the vermicelli noodles fully absorbed the broth's delicious flavor, leaving a smooth and refreshing taste. Each bite felt like a gentle caress to her taste buds.

I could only imagine these dishes in my mind before, but I never thought I could actually eat them now! Lu Linger sighed silently in her heart. In her previous life, she grew up in an orphanage, where life was hard and she had no chance to taste these delicacies. In the orphanage, they could only use their imagination to satisfy their desire for delicious food. Every time they played house with their friends, they would pretend that they were enjoying these sumptuous dishes, but in reality, they were just starving. However, fate always favors those who are prepared.

Later, Lu Linger was admitted to university and received financial support from a kind-hearted person, which gave her the opportunity to indulge herself occasionally. She still remembers the first time she walked into the restaurant and saw those delicious dishes, her heart was filled with joy and gratitude. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after she graduated and started working, she encountered a serious medical dispute and eventually died from her injuries. Even more unfortunate was that the Black and White Impermanence had taken the wrong soul, forcing her to be reborn into this world. Recalling this experience, Lu Linger couldn't help but sigh in her heart. What a bad fate! However, since she has started over, she will no longer dwell on the past. At this moment, the most important thing is to enjoy the feast of food in front of her!

Lu Ling'er picked up a piece of Jade Smashed Cucumber and put it in her mouth, savoring the delicious crunch mingling with the rich aroma of garlic and sesame oil. It was as if she was transported back to a more difficult yet simpler time. Then she took a bite of Vinegar-Fragrant Cloud Ear Mushrooms. The sour and spicy flavor instantly stimulated her taste buds and brightened her mood. The crispness of the cold-salted walnuts complemented the freshness of the vegetables, and each bite seemed to speak of the beauty of life. The smoothness of the preserved egg and ginger slices collided with the spicy ginger slices to create a unique texture, while the freshness of the hand-shredded chicken and jellyfish brought a touch of coolness.

Gu Yichen had been observing her silently, and seeing her expression of happiness over the delicious food suddenly gave rise to a tenderness he had never felt before. She ate like a child, her eyes narrowed slightly at the delicious taste, revealing a hint of innocence. Gu Yichen noticed her concentration and love for each dish, and suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He picked up a piece of crispy roast suckling pig with chopsticks and placed it in her bowl, whispering, "Eat more." His tone was filled with a hint of doting, even he was not aware of it.

Lu Ling'er was so engrossed in her meal that she almost forgot about her surroundings. She suddenly looked up, and when she caught Gu Yichen's eye, her face flushed slightly. "Why is my husband suddenly so considerate?" she muttered to herself, but feigned composure as she said, "Mm, delicious!" A gleam of satisfaction shone in her eyes, as if all her hardships and past misfortunes had been smoothed over by this dinner.

Gu Yichen quietly watched Lu Ling'er, a surge of tenderness welling up in his heart. Lu Ling'er ate like a cute little squirrel, her cheeks puffed out in a way that made him smile.

Seeing his mother's emotional fluctuations, Ji Junche quickly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her bowl, and said softly: "Mom, don't be like this. Today is a happy occasion. Let's have a good meal together." Gu Yazhu couldn't help but shed tears. She was moved not only by her love for Lu Linger, but also by her deep emotion about family reunion.
