Chapter 70: What a Joke

This question really makes people curious.

Many people are puzzled—why, exactly?

The gap between the two of them in essence is just too great.

It is no exaggeration at all to say that Liu Yue is lifting Shen Mo out of poverty.

Especially as time goes on, there will always be someone who digs up the matter of the substitute marriage back then.

Theoretically, after that initial awkwardness, the two of them shouldn't have been able to get together at all.

And, most importantly of all, Liu Yue was just too good to Shen Mo after the wedding.

She helped him start a company, taught Shen Mo how to manage it, and made his net worth keep climbing higher and higher.

This is simply unbelievable.

So everyone really doesn't understand.

Shen Mo fell silent too.

This question…

【I don't know either.】

【Back then she felt my abs, and just took me in.】

That's right, as far as Shen Mo was concerned, that was exactly how it had been back then.

"Because my husband is handsome and has a great figure."

"When I woke up back then, I felt my husband's abs, and then reached a little further down, and I knew—this man, I had to have him."

Liu Yue walked out of the next room in her pajamas, hugged Shen Mo right in front of the camera, gave him a hard kiss, and said with a grin: "The two of us started with looks, stayed for character, and fell in love with that hidden treasure of a personality."

The livestream chat instantly exploded.

Getting force-fed romance out of nowhere—feels awful.

Shen Mo kissed Liu Yue, set her down tenderly, and headed to the kitchen to get breakfast.

Liu Yue began animatedly introducing Shen Mo's merits to the livestream camera.

First of all, having a younger boyfriend is amazing—the stamina is really something.

Then there's the fact that a younger boyfriend born into a happy family is emotionally stable.

And on top of that, he provides all kinds of emotional value.

Which includes cooking.

Liu Yue encouraged the livestream camera: "Ladies, work hard to make money."

"Only when you're more outstanding can you experience an outstanding man."

"Oh right, remember one extra thing—don't be love-brained."

"You can spend money on a man, but you can't hand yourself over to a man completely."

"You have to make sure, at every moment, that you and your man can balance each other's value."

"That's the foundation of a happy marriage."

Just then, Shen Mo brought the food to the table and set it down in front of Liu Yue.

Liu Yue pointed at the breakfast and began introducing which dish she had ordered.

It was what she had wanted to eat,

and she showed off once more how spoiled Shen Mo made her feel.

"You know, the day before yesterday I said I wanted to eat steamed cabbage with meat, and the next morning when I woke up, there it was."

"Steamed cabbage with meat is wrapping the meat filling in cabbage leaves, then putting it in a steamer to cook—it's a real hassle."

Envious. Jealous.

Just hearing about it, the female viewers in the livestream were about to scream.

This is just too happy.

Right after that, a sour male viewer spoke up: Shen Mo, don't you think your behavior is embarrassing?

Shen Mo thought for a moment, then answered: "Not at all."

"After all, I'm just a kept man—I have to let my wife experience plenty of emotional value."

At that moment, the viewers in the livestream instantly understood what Shen Mo had meant earlier by "rational."

You have to be able to see things clearly.

Shen Mo joked while eating: "Brothers, sure, there are guys who eat soft rice the hard way, but don't take it too much to heart."

"After all, in a family, whoever earns the money, whoever handles the big and small matters of the household, whoever takes responsibility for the family—that's the backbone, not because of gender."

Shen Mo wasn't afraid of online abuse at all and just said it straight out.

A whole group of female viewers spammed the screen: That's right, that's right, we support this view.

Some bolder ones spoke up: Ahhhhhhh, I'm going to work hard to make money, get rich, and in the future keep a man like Shen Mo too.

Why isn't a man this clear-headed mine?

Sigh, first time in my life I've hated how little I earn.

Someone like Shen Mo—I believe even if he weren't eating soft rice, he'd still be a good man.

For a while, the chat was full of praise for Shen Mo.

Some people had their sore spots poked and got snarky with Shen Mo, but most people were still rational and agreed with his theory.

Someone then asked a follow-up question: Do you two never fight?

That question made Shen Mo and Liu Yue exchange a glance. Liu Yue sighed and said: "We do fight, but what can I do—my younger little wolf-hound apologizes too fast, and the stamina is just too good."

While Shen Mo was clearing the table and taking the leftover dishes out to wash them, Liu Yue leered at the camera: "That guy Shen Mo is really naughty."

"Fight in the morning, make up by noon, and at night he gets back at me in bed."

"Very much the type to repay even the smallest grudge."

"So much so that now I don't dare stir up trouble for no reason."

The male and female viewers in the livestream were all stunned.

This is something we can hear without paying?

Also, beautiful CEO Ms. Liu Yue, do you know that lewdness is written all over that face of yours that deserves a ninety-eight?

Also, are you sure you're not throwing shade at us?

When the viewers saw Shen Mo in the restaurant, calm and composed as he washed the dishes, they all fell silent.

Don't want to talk anymore.

Once Shen Mo had finished tidying everything up, he went out with Liu Yue.

The livestream viewers were curious what the two of them were about to do.

The answer was: build a snowman.

Out in the wilderness, the two of them began to build a snowman.

In Shen Mo's words, come to Erbin and not build a snowman? How could that be?

Especially since Liu Yue was bragging that she could build a beautiful snow lady.

Two hours later, the livestream viewers watched helplessly as Liu Yue built a white-haired, flowing-haired snow beauty, even wearing rabbit ears.

Every detail was handled exceptionally well.

Even the figure was perfectly proportioned.

This made the livestream viewers couldn't help but sigh — other people's hands are hands, mine are just claws.

At the same time, some sourly remarked that Nüwa played favorites — giving Liu Yue money, looks, a figure, and a good husband wasn't enough, she also had to give her a pair of clever hands.

Envious, jealous, hateful.

Unhappy to the extreme.

And then there's nothing to be done about it.

After finishing the snowman, the two casually found a small roadside eatery and had a quick meal.

An utterly ordinary rice bowl made the livestream viewers' eyes go wide.

You two are both CEOs worth hundreds of millions — how can you eat at a roadside eatery, and such plain food as a rice bowl at that?

Eating a rice bowl would be one thing, but it's tomato-and-egg — the most ordinary rice bowl of all.

Everyone felt a sense of discomfort.

Completely unable to understand.

But then immediately came a feeling that Liu Yue and Shen Mo were ordinary people too.

After eating, the two continued wandering aimlessly, just like a pair of street loafers.

Along the way they came across a trade fair, and the two even went in to browse.

Although they didn't buy anything.

On the way out, Liu Yue started briefing Shen Mo on how profitable trade fairs were.

A ten-plus-day fair, and those snack-selling bosses all make eighty to ninety thousand in pure profit.

Running through a dozen-plus cities a year, they can net over a million.

The livestream viewers cried out that it was impossible.

Such an ordinary trade fair, selling snacks, herbs, health products that look extremely cheap, mostly bought by elderly people — can it really make that much?

Over a million in pure profit.

That's on par with an executive at a big company.

"Impossible." Shen Mo said in disbelief.

【What kind of joke is this — is there really that much profit in there?】
