Chapter 110: Brother, I feel like something's off

But after Lu Yuan thought it over carefully, he felt it was unlikely.

Making this thing is expensive.

Two houses would cost over eighty bucks.

What family could afford that?

I guess later maybe only the leaders familiar with Lin Fusheng and Director Xu would come.

But there aren't many.

Besides, after thinking it over, you wouldn't earn much either; the cost to make this thing is seventy or eighty bucks, so asking for an extra ten or eight for yourself.

Lu Yuan didn't care for that eighty cents.

But if you asked for sixty or seventy… that's too black-hearted; if reported, you'd be arrested and thrown in jail.

After thinking, he decided to forget it.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, riding on his horse, was eating the orange that Lin dama had just given him.

Soon after, he leisurely arrived at Director Xu's home.

Just like before, there was no difference.

Except that Director Xu's house had one more room than Lin Fusheng's.

Naturally, the wages were higher as well.

Leaving Director Xu's house, Lu Yuan handed his bundle of money to Liu Shoucai, saying:

"I'll give you the money directly, okay?"

Lu Yuan wasn't afraid that Liu Shoucai would take the money and run.

After all, Lu Yuan believed Liu Shoucai could tell the difference between a single meal and being fed regularly.

Besides, on this trip Liu Shoucai could at least make thirty-six or thirty-seven.

Liu Shoucai wouldn't do that.

After receiving the money, Liu Shoucai didn't mind the cold, stuffed it straight into his pocket, and looked solemnly at Lu Yuan, saying:

"Boss, rest assured, I'll go find a dozen or so people right now to help pick materials; I'll spend all the money today, definitely not overnight, and it's absolutely safe."

Lu Yuan nodded; nowadays social morals are upright, there definitely won't be any thieves or petty thieves.

After saying that.

Where is this?

This is at the foot of the imperial city.

It's safe, you know~

After finishing his work, Lu Yuan wasn't in a hurry to go home; lately he hasn't had anything to do.

He could consider himself idle now.

He didn't bring his fishing rod, so he couldn't fish; Lu Yuan bought half a catty of melon seeds and half a catty of peanuts, then went to under the bridge to listen to storytelling.

What a wonderful life~

In the evening, after the crowd dispersed, Lu Yuan then went home.

When Lu Yuan returned, he heard peals of laughter coming from inside his house.

Lu Yuan pushed the door open and saw his wife cooking at the stove, while Wang Yulan hadn't left yet and was chatting and laughing with his wife.

Wang Yulan has a good nature and can strike up a conversation with anyone quickly.

The two didn't know what to say, and burst into laughter.

After Lu Yuan entered the room, Su Liyan hurried from the kitchen and said in a coquettish voice:

"Brother~~"

Lu Yuan looked at his beautiful wife and smiled, saying:

"What are you two chatting about, laughing so happily?"

Su Liyan, while helping her husband take off his coat, smiled and said:

"Wang Yulan's telling jokes~"

Lu Yuan nodded with a smile, and at that moment Wang Yulan also came over, looking at him with a smiling gaze and asked:

"Brother Lu, do you still like eating crab?"

Huh?

Lu Yuan startled, then looked toward Su Liyan.

After Su Liyan took off her husband's coat, she hung it on the nearby rack and, while doing so, smiled and said:

"When I came back today I saw someone selling crabs by the roadside, so I bought some for you, brother."

Lu Yuan startled, then smiled, put his arm around his wife's slender waist, kissed her, and chuckled, saying:

"Good wife~"

After being kissed by Lu Yuan, Su Liyan's face flushed with bashfulness as she said:

"Brother~ Wang Yulan is still here~"

Huh?

Lu Yuan glanced at Wang Yulan beside him; Wang Yulan also felt a bit embarrassed.

But at that moment, Pang Kaige's voice came from outside:

"Wife? Wife~"

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Yulan immediately looked at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan and smiled, saying:

"Brother Lu, Sister Su, I'm heading back first."

Having said that, Wang Yulan quickly left her own home and called out:

Brother, I'm here.

Pang Kaige watched his wife come out of Lu Yuan's house, looking utterly bewildered.

How did my wife come out of Lu Yuan's house?

However, he didn't think much about it—Su Liyan was there, after all; maybe they were just chatting.

Immediately, Pang Kaige, holding the two liang of meat in his hand, looked at Wang Yulan and smiled, saying:

Brother will make some dumplings for you to eat today~

And I have some good news to tell you~

Wang Yulan said, full of curiosity:

Eh~ What good news~

……

At this moment, Lu Yuan was in the kitchen with Su Liyan.

Su Liyan was cooking, while Lu Yuan stood aside watching the crab she had bought.

Lu Yuan worried his wife wouldn't know how to pick them, and might have bought only empty shells, so he took a look.

However, after looking, Lu Yuan found.

Hey~

They're all excellent!

He picked it up, raised his head to look at the Spirit Power Lamp; the meat inside was packed tight, and the edges on both sides were hard as could be, not soft at all.

After putting the crab down, Lu Yuan gave his wife a strange look.

What's going on?

Could it be that my wife is some super lucky person?

At this moment, Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan, somewhat proudly, and said coquettishly:

Brother~~How are the crabs I bought~

Su Liyan had cleaned all these crabs, and the stove in front of Lu Yuan was already boiling.

Lu Yuan, while placing ginger slices in the steamer, also arranged the crab belly-side up in the steamer, nodding repeatedly as he said:

How great, amazing, all of them are good—what's going on?

At this moment, Su Liyan pursed her lips, looked at Lu Yuan, and smiled as she said:

Because I learned from brother how to pick crabs~~

Huh?

Lu Yuan curiously glanced at Su Liyan beside him, blinking his eyes, as if... the last time he bought crabs, he seemed...

He hadn't told Su Liyan how to pick them, had he?

How did Su Liyan know?

Oh~

My wife is so smart; just watching from the side for a while, she figured it out—this isn't exactly a difficult thing.

It's just a little life hack.

The hard part is that my wife cares so much.

At this moment, Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan coquettishly and said in a sweet voice:

Brother~~Am I not amazing~~

Lu Yuan, while arranging the crabs, pursed his lips and smiled as he said:

Really amazing~

At this moment, Su Liyan saw her man happy because of the crab he bought, and naturally she was also very happy inside.

After turning her head and seeing no one outside the window,

Su Liyan then suddenly moved close to Lu Yuan, her face flushed, extremely shy, yet boldly gazing at Lu Yuan.

Her alluring, soul-capturing beautiful eyes at this moment were like silk, gazing at Lu Yuan with eyes full of autumn water, speaking with a hint of coquettishness:

So, brother, do you want to reward me a little?

Huh?

Lu Yuan froze for a moment, not expecting his wife to be getting bolder and more alluring even off the bed.

Looking at his incredibly cute and alluring wife before him, Lu Yuan grinned, then suddenly turned his head and said:

No.

Su Liyan startled, then immediately looked anxious and said:

Why?

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said seriously:

Because I already kissed you just now, so I won't kiss again.

Su Liyan froze for a moment, realizing her man was teasing her on purpose; she immediately put down the spatula, hugged Lu Yuan, and said with a pouty, coquettish expression:

Brother~~That doesn't count~~

Seeing his wife's utterly adorable appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh proudly.

Finally, he embraced his wife and kissed her on that peerlessly beautiful face.

……

After the meal, Su Liyan was busy at the sewing machine.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, continued eating crab and drinking a little wine in the main hall.

Crab doesn't have much meat; the swimming crab's meat is just that chunk on the legs, and there's nothing else.

Eating crab is all about this flavor.

It's like snacking on melon seeds—have a little drink and savor the taste.

Tomorrow is Sunday.

Tonight there's no rush—Su Liyan keeps busy with the sewing machine, and Lu Yuan eats slowly.

Tomorrow, this Sunday, is the last weekend before the New Year.

Lu Yuan thought that tomorrow he should take his wife out to browse the department store and buy some things.

It's not just for buying Su Liyan things; mainly Lu Yuan also needs to buy some clothes for himself.

Although Lu Yuan isn't picky about clothes—being handsome, he looks good in anything.

But after all, it's the New Year.

He should also buy a new set of clothes to wear.

When Lu Yuan returned today, passing the window of the department store continent, he happened to see that kind of leather jacket inside.

That leather jacket is really nice.

Buy it and it'll surely last over ten years without wear.

I'll go buy one tomorrow.

Then I'll look into getting a pair of leather shoes.

Besides that, I'll just look for something to buy for my wife.

My wife is a supermodel—she looks good in anything.

This is still due to winter—even if my wife has a great figure, she still needs to wear long underwear, a sweater, and a coat.

It's warm indoors, but outside it's freezing.

Lu Yuan now just hopes summer arrives.

When summer arrives, I'll design an outfit for my wife; when her perfect figure wears it, that'll be truly handsome~

Moreover, summer clothes aren't like winter ones—they're difficult to make on the sewing machine.

Summer clothes only take a few nice fabric pieces—my wife can make them on the sewing machine.

For instance, making a high-waisted dress for my wife gives that girl-next-door vibe.

Making a high-waisted seven‑length pant for my wife shows off her slender ankles.

Then pair them with ivory high heels and a small floral shirt.

That's the urban-lady look.

For instance...

Ah, there are plenty more—my wife really exudes whatever vibe her clothes give.

Handsome~

She's the most beautiful in the world—are you kidding me with the system?!

Imagining taking his gorgeous wife to the park on a summer night to catch cicadas, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Sitting at the sewing machine, Su Liyan was stitching her and her husband's underwear and socks, then turned to look at her man.

She couldn't help but curiously purse her lips and smile, asking:

"Brother~ what good news do you have? Why are you so happy~"

Lu Yuan startled, then took a sip of his drink, looked at Su Liyan and said happily:

"I married such a beautiful wife who also looks after people—this isn't a good thing? Of course I should be happy, brother."

Su Liyan startled, then blushed and looked at Lu Yuan, saying:

"Brother~ you just know how to coax me~ I'm not as good as you say~"

After saying that, Su Liyan immediately lowered her head, kept sewing, her face flushed but the corner of her mouth slightly curled into an exquisite arc.

Being praised like that by her husband, Su Liyan naturally felt very happy.

Lu Yuan looked at his wife, about to say something.

But then he suddenly noticed a pair of snowy white, delicate fox ears on his wife's head.

His wife's white fox ears aren't actually large—about the length of a pinky finger.

Hidden in her black hair, sometimes when you get used to looking, you just overlook them.

Seeing those cute white fox ears, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something.

Bloodline Awakening Liquid!

And Orchid Heart!

As for Orchid Heart, Lu Yuan can't just give it directly to his wife.

That clump of Orchid Heart is a bunch of blue light—if you just pull it out like that, wouldn't it scare his wife?

So Lu Yuan plans to wait until his wife falls asleep, then give her the Orchid Heart.

Using Orchid Heart is very simple—just place that clump on the brow.

As for the Bloodline Awakening Liquid,

Lu Yuan glanced at Su Liyan, completely immersed in happiness.

He secretly took out the Bloodline Awakening Liquid from his storage space, then dropped a drop into his own wine cup.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan set the Bloodline Awakening Liquid aside, shook his wine cup to mix it, then looked at Su Liyan and said:

"Wife, come over~"

Su Liyan turned to see her husband approaching with the wine cup, knowing what he was about to do~

"Brother, you're a bad egg~"

He also wants to see himself make a fool of himself~

Su Liyan knew her man had her drink just to see her little face turn red from the spiciness of the alcohol~

Speaking of which...

It's the same in my family~

In the past, when there was a bumper harvest, at dinner her father would get happy and trick her mother into drinking a small cup of wine.

Then, watching her mother finish the drink, he would laugh heartily, making her mother pout and complain endlessly.

At the time, Su Liyan watched from the side, not understanding what it meant, but she thought it was nice, very happy.

But she never expected that one day she herself would be tricked by her man~

But hey, it's just a trick~

I like being tricked by my man~

When Su Liyan shyly sat beside her man and took the wine cup he handed over, she was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously:

"Bro~ Why is this wine orange-yellow?"

Hmm...

Originally Lu Yuan had planned to buy a bottle of old soda when he came back tonight, but he forgot.

But now Lu Yuan, with a straight face and no sign of embarrassment, said seriously:

"Mm~ This is yellow wine."

Su Liyan completely believed her man's words, didn't think much of it, and drank the wine.

After taking a small sip, Su Liyan's little face flushed red, she slightly opened her mouth, feeling a bit spicy.

Seeing his wife's cute appearance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh heartily.

And at that moment, after Su Liyan came to her senses, she pouted all over her face and said:

"Bro~ You bad egg~~ This isn't yellow wine at all~ This is Duokangjia's old soda~"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh hahaha.

And Su Liyan shyly turned and went back to the sewing machine.

After Lu Yuan laughed for a while, he suddenly stopped.

Huh!!

Wait a moment!!

No…… wrong!!

Old soda?!

My wife drank old soda too???!!!

At night, Su Liyan, who was on Lu Yuan, suddenly stopped, panting as she looked at her man and said:

"Bro~ I... I feel a bit off..."

Hmm?

Lu Yuan startled, then quickly got up and embraced his wife, saying:

"What's wrong? How exactly do you feel off?"

"Could it be that the Bloodline Awakening Liquid is taking effect?"

Su Liyan, feeling a bit confused, shook her head and said:

"I... I can't even say what's off... Anyway, my body feels a bit hot..."

Lu Yuan blinked, this?

This doesn't count, does it?

Exercising naturally makes you sweat and feel hot.

Before Lu Yuan could finish asking, Su Liyan gazed at him with dreamy eyes and said:

"And... and..."

Hmm?

Lu Yuan startled, then quickly said:

"What?"

The next second, Su Liyan pounced on Lu Yuan, her face full of affection, and said:

"And I want you to love me even more~"
