The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Chapter 145: A Single Dog Wouldn’t Understand

Chen JianShe, who had been ready to chow down, suddenly felt the food in front of him had lost its appeal.

It wasn’t like his Brother Leng had said much, just a gentle, "You’ve worked hard."

Chen JianShe agreed with the sentiment.

His sister-in-law had made so many delicious dishes all by herself at home; she had indeed worked hard.

But for some reason, he felt like the atmosphere was off.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong, though.

As a single man, Chen JianShe couldn’t yet understand that what he was witnessing was a public display of affection.

Leng Yuan placed a piece of fish on Gu Jiaojiao’s plate, and the three of them began to eat.

The sweet and sour mandarin fish was a complicated dish to prepare, but it tasted incredible. Chen JianShe took one bite, his eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly tossed his earlier feelings to the back of his mind.

’My brain must have short-circuited just now,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, how could I have thought such delicious food wasn’t appealing?!’

Chen JianShe didn’t even bother talking, switching into full-on eating mode.

As for Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan, the two of them were much more refined.

Leng Yuan, in particular, would occasionally place food on Gu Jiaojiao’s plate, a hint of tender concern in his eyes.

In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Jiaojiao was lazy and gluttonous. She dressed well and ate well, but she was no good when it came to work.

Leng Yuan, however, didn’t think Gu Jiaojiao had it easy at all.

On the contrary, he felt that Jiaojiao was more tired than he was.

Making three meals a day wasn’t an easy job. She also had to manage her medicinal herbs and make facial soap. A person as delicate as her should have been pampered, but Gu Jiaojiao never complained. If it was something she could do, she did it all.

Gu Jiaojiao looked up and smiled at her husband.

She understood the tender concern in his eyes, and her heart instantly filled with warmth.

Gu Jiaojiao felt that the most crucial part of a couple’s life together was understanding.

This wasn’t the kind of understanding where you just say, "I get you." It was an understanding shown through actions—knowing your partner’s hardships and, out of a genuine love from the heart, cherishing them.

Just like Leng Yuan.

Leng Yuan understood Gu Jiaojiao’s hardships, and Gu Jiaojiao knew Leng Yuan’s. They exchanged a look, and it was as if the air around them was filling with pink, bubbly hearts.

None of this affected Chen JianShe’s mission to eat. He tried a bite of the ribs—delicious. He tasted the fish—exquisite. Then he took a sip of the porridge and felt a sense of utter contentment wash over him.

Although there were only three people at the table, they formed two separate worlds.

Chen JianShe would occasionally glance up at the pair, but seeing nothing amiss, he would just bury his head and continue eating.

The most well-known parts are the velvet antler, penis, blood, and meat.

Velvet antler is said to fortify primordial yang, replenish qi and blood, benefit essence and marrow, and strengthen sinews and bones. It is used for symptoms such as fatigue from deficiency, emaciation, mental exhaustion, and dizziness.

Deer penis can tonify the kidneys, boost yang, and benefit essence. It is used to treat strain-induced lower back and knee pain, tinnitus from kidney deficiency, impotence, premature ejaculation, and infertility due to a "cold uterus."

Deer blood can replenish essence and marrow, benefit the blood, boost yang, strengthen the lower back, and tonify the kidneys. It can be mixed with wine for consumption, which is said to enhance its effects.

Deer meat can remedy deficiency-fatigue of the five viscera, regulate circulation, and benefit qi and essence. It is used for conditions like fatigue from deficiency, emaciation, and to promote lactation.

Besides these common parts, there are actually many other valuable components. For example, the deer tail can tonify the kidneys and benefit essence.

The sinew can strengthen muscles and bones.

Deer antler glue (or paste) can tonify the kidneys and boost yang.

The ossified antler: promotes blood circulation and reduces swelling. It is ground into a powder for consumption.

The bones: remedy deficiency and emaciation, and strengthen muscles and bones.

The hide can remedy symptoms of blood deficiency.

All in all, this was a real treasure.

"Hubby, you’re amazing! You managed to take down such a huge deer."
