Chapter 50: I only serve one person~

When Lu Yuan was dazedly watching his wife's back, his peripheral vision also caught someone throwing punches nearby.

Lu Yuan turned his head and saw Pang Kaige standing at his own doorstep, throwing king-eight punches at himself.

"Yo, throwing punches?"

Lu Yuan looked at Pang Kaige and said with a smile.

Pang Kaige, having been spotted, wasn't flustered; he immediately stopped, tidied his clothes, and then raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Yeah, you need to move around a bit when you wake up!"

Having said that, Pang Kaige strode off toward the courtyard with his head high and chest out.

Seeing Pang Kaige like that, Lu Yuan couldn't help but grin; it was somewhat interesting.

But now isn't the time to think about that; I still need to hurry up and eat the crab.

Immediately, Lu Yuan began to draw water and rinse the crab.

Lu Yuan busied himself for almost a morning, steaming a total of six large pots.

All the basins in the house were used by Lu Yuan to hold these fiery-red large swimming crabs.

When the last pot came out, Lu Yuan immediately carried the basin to his main hall and began eating the crab.

The crab cools quickly; it'll be cold in a moment.

Although eating the crab cold versus hot gives two different flavors, the warm one is better.

This noon, Lu Yuan himself managed to make thirteen large crabs weighing about six or seven taels each.

After finishing, he downed a large cup of water.

Anyway, with a perfect physique, he's not afraid of getting diarrhea.

After eating, Lu Yuan didn't feel like cleaning up the table full of crab shells; he washed his hands and face, then went straight to bed to sleep.

He slept straight through until dark.

When Lu Yuan got up, he saw Su Liyan had already returned from work and was tidying the house.

The table full of crab shells that Lu Yuan had made had already been cleaned up by Su Liyan.

Su Liyan, standing nearby, upon seeing her husband awake, broke into a smile and said:

"Brother~ the meal will be ready soon."

Lu Yuan stretched a big yawn on the bed, then sat up and said:

"Today I won't be eating at home; you eat by yourself."

"I'm going to see Uncle Wang."

"Huh?"

Su Liyan froze for a moment, then hurried over to help her husband put on his clothes.

"Who is Uncle Wang?"

Su Liyan didn't know the name Wang Ping, but her husband seemed to have only one uncle, that being the constable.

As for whether that's the case, Su Liyan couldn't be sure.

Su Liyan didn't ask either; it's perfectly normal for gentlemen to go out drinking at night, and as a wife she shouldn't go prying.

Su Liyan not inquiring doesn't mean Lu Yuan won't tell.

While holding his neck up for Su Liyan to button his clothes, Lu Yuan also said:

"The last time we just moved here, the Gao Xushi clan caused trouble, but Uncle Wang helped us; moreover, he's been looking after our large estate, so we ought to go thank him."

Hearing her husband tell her what he would do shortly, Su Liyan felt delighted and nodded repeatedly, saying:

"You should go; Brother, should I come along too?"

Logically, Su Liyan should go along, after all she's my wife, which also makes her a junior to Uncle Wang.

Besides, whether it was that day helping to apprehend the Gao Xushi clan or guarding the house, Su Liyan is also involved.

However, Lu Yuan thought it over and then shook his head, saying:

"No need; you don't have to go. The last time I went, his wife had just taken the kids back to her parents' home, and I don't know if she's returned yet."

"Huh?"

Su Liyan, having buttoned Lu Yuan's clothes, squatted down to put on his socks while gazing curiously at her husband, wondering what he meant by that.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, raised an eyebrow and said:

"Think about it—if his wife isn't home, then you'd have to stand by and pour tea and water for him."

"You might even have to busy yourself making a meal."

"Don't go; just stay home and rest—you've already worked a full day."

Hearing her husband's words, Su Liyan froze, then after regaining composure she pursed her lips and said with a blissful face:

"It's fine; going to cook a meal wouldn't tire me out~"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"That won't do—you're my wife; you can only serve me, not anyone else!"

Lu Yuan felt in his heart that his wife serving him was natural and right, but serving anyone else was absolutely out of the question.

Just the thought of his wife's delicate hand pouring a cup of hot water for someone else made Lu Yuan feel he'd lose blood; let alone having her cook a meal for another, even though he himself would eat it.

In any case, it's not allowed.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Su Liyan felt she might die of happiness, gazing at him with tender, lingering eyes and saying:

"Mm~ I only serve my brother~"

After Su Liyan had dressed him, Lu Yuan also got out of bed, found a hat and ear warmers to put on; the weather was getting colder, and the twelfth lunar month was approaching.

Once Lu Yuan had put them on, Su Liyan immediately came before him, lifted her foot, and adjusted his attire.

Seeing his wife's exquisite face, Lu Yuan leaned in and kissed her, causing Su Liyan to let out a soft 'yingying' sound.

Tonight go to sleep early; I don't know how late I'll be drinking, so don't wait for me.

After saying that, Lu Yuan again mysteriously leaned close to the somewhat shy Su Liyan's ear and whispered:

Tomorrow night don't cook; when you come back just buy something to eat outside and bring it back. It's been days—I've missed you.

Upon hearing that, Su Liyan was exceedingly bashful; her lovely face instantly flushed with a rosy hue, as if drunk.

Seeing her man so infatuated with her, Su Liyan's heart was truly overjoyed.

Moreover……

Looking at Lu Yuan grinning hehe before her, Su Liyan gathered her courage and said with a blush-covered face:

Mm~ I also want brother to dote on me~

Hmm?

This was Su Liyan's first time being this bold.

After Su Liyan said that, she immediately turned her gaze to the side, not daring to look at Lu Yuan.

At that moment, Su Liyan's slender swan neck was also tinged with pink.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan wished he could right then and there execute his gorgeous wife on the spot.

However, how could a real man do this every day? First go handle business and drink.

Lu Yuan hehe laughed and said:

Alright, brother's leaving first; don't come out to see me off, or you'll get cold wearing so little.

Having said that, Lu Yuan left, meanwhile closing the door, leaving Su Liyan with a face full of shyness and anticipation for tomorrow night.

Three minutes later.

With a bang, the door was pushed open.

After Lu Yuan turned around and closed the door, amidst Su Liyan's joyful exclamation, he drew the curtains.

Damn!

Fulfilling my wife's desire for a better life as a real man—isn't that proper business?!

This is a huge deal!!

……

After an hour, Lu Yuan, satisfied, gazed at the alluring Su Liyan on the bed and smiled:

Brother really left now; eat well at home.

Lu Yuan picked up two bottles of san lu zi and some cooked food at home; after an hour's delay, I estimate Wang Ping has already eaten at home.

Bring some cooked food, go have a drink— that'll do.

Lu Yuan led the horse, carrying his things, and walked out of the house.

As he exited the courtyard, he happened to see Third Uncle just returning from a stroll.

This Third Uncle, with his sharp nose, immediately smelled the pig's head meat and also saw the two bottles of san lu zi in Lu Yuan's hand.

Immediately, Third Uncle broke into a smile and said:

Yo, where are you off to?

Lu Yuan directly swung onto his horse and laughed:

Third Uncle, I'm going out to find a restaurant for a couple drinks.

Upon hearing that, Third Uncle's eyes lit up and he said:

Oh dear, why go outside? Come to Elder's house.

Lu Yuan flicked the reins, not looking back, and said:

Your place doesn't even have a dish of peanuts—how am I supposed to go there?

Watching Lu Yuan dash away, Third Uncle's face darkened, and he spat in Lu Yuan's direction, saying:

Ptooey, so stingy!

What's the point of showing off at your father-in-law's? You still have to go out to drink, leaving Su Liyan at home eating barley noodles—shameless!!

(Thanks to the elder brothers Kongcheng and Qingyuanhuan for the reward of 100 book coins; thank you so much, muah~)
