Chapter 4: I wasn't full just now, I need an extra meal!!!
That night.
Inside a detached villa on the outskirts of Shinkai City.
The lights flickered, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers.
thump.
With that sound.
The data cable and phone are successfully connected.
The battery level also rose rapidly.
.........
…………
"Good job, this is your reward."
Lin Shuo lay on his side on the bed.
next moment.
A wad of cash was thrown at them.
Lin Shuo didn't count.
However, judging from the scattered form...
There are at least several dozen of them.
Xia Yuqiu was clearly in a good mood.
After scattering the coins, she tucked her loose hair behind her ears and secured it with a hair clip.
Then he came closer.
She gave Lin Shuo a light kiss.
"I'm going to take a shower now..."
Lin Shuo didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
A while later.
The sound of running water came from the shower room outside.
Until I heard that sound.
Lin Shuo then slowly got up.
He first stretched leisurely.
He muttered under his breath, "Being a kept man isn't something everyone can do."
Lin Shuo lived two lives.
He has seen far too many real-life examples.
When a person's perception and wealth are mismatched.
His wealth will flow into society in another form.
Many boys dream of marrying a rich woman so they don't have to work hard and can live a life of luxury.
Many girls dream of marrying an old man so they can inherit his estate when he dies.
But rich people aren't stupid.
Rich women and old men aren't everywhere.
Do you think someone with money and experience would be foolish enough to let you get something for free?
I'm afraid they'll end up being eaten up completely, leaving not even a trace.
After playing for a few months, I got bored and just quit.
Or perhaps they escalate their demands, making increasingly excessive requests, ultimately ruining their health and relying on medication for the rest of their lives.
He had seen far too many examples like this.
so.
The whole "marrying a rich man" and "living off a woman" thing is a lie.
Only hard work matters.
Everyone will deceive you.
But effort won't.
My thoughts returned.
Looking at the cash scattered on the bed.
Lin Shuo changed the subject:
"But we're different, this is a normal marriage."
what…
Xia Yuqiu, that silly woman, must have saved the galaxy in her past life.
Otherwise, how could I have such a handsome, tall, rich, charming, and talented husband like me in this lifetime?
He said it.
But his hands never stopped.
Collect the scattered banknotes.
It was placed in the cabinet to the side.
After doing all this.
Lin Shuo lay in bed, pondering how to spend the money.
But after thinking it over and over...
He discovered that he didn't seem to be short of money.
Putting aside other things.
Xia Yuqiu would send him a fixed amount of money on the first of every month.
During holidays, there are also various red envelopes and gifts.
What is 1314, 520?
I'll buy the latest electronic devices as soon as they come out.
There's also a cash jar at home.
This jar is for Lin Shuo to use when buying groceries.
Although he hasn't used it much, he's been ordering takeout from it lately.
But there was at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in that jar, and Xia Yuqiu would keep adding money in it when she saw that there was no money left.
Thinking of this.
Lin Shuo let out a long sigh.
He was filled with despair for the future.
The thought of living this kind of life for another sixty or seventy years is unbearable.
He was in utter despair.
Just then.
A pleasant female voice came over.
"Baby... I forgot my bath towel, could you get it for me?"
"Okay," Lin Shuo replied.
He slowly got up.
I searched around.
I finally saw it on the wooden table in the living room.
"Baby, are you done yet...?"
A mournful voice came from behind.
Lin Shuo hurriedly replied, "Coming, coming."
Pick up the bath towel.
I walked toward the shower room.
They've known each other for five years and been married for one.
I've seen everything I needed to see.
I ate everything I was supposed to eat.
There aren't that many rules.
Lin Shuo pushed open the glass door and went inside.
It was late autumn at the time.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside is too great.
A thin layer of white mist covered the glass.
Through the white mist.
You can even vaguely see a slender figure.
I've left it here for you.
Place the bath towel on the table.
Lin Shuo was just about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, a pair of small hands grabbed him.
"what?"
Lin Shuo turned around, puzzled.
Then Xia Yuqiu licked his lips.
"What...what are you going to do..."
"Report! I wasn't full just now, I want a snack!" Xia Yuqiu raised her little hand, just like a student raising their hand to ask a question in class.
However, they weren't at school.
And the extra meal is not just an extra meal in the literal sense.
.........
…………
late at night.
Silence reigned.
The breathing light next to it emitted a faint glow.
The two were lying in bed.
The mattress has a large dent.
Xia Yuqiu leaned against Lin Shuo's chest, scrolling through short videos and occasionally humming along softly.
He looked very satisfied.
Lin Shuo leaned on her shoulder, quietly watching her scroll through videos, inhaling the pleasant scent of gardenias in the air.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
I came across something funny.
Xia Yuqiu would hand over the phone.
After Lin Shuo finished reading.
She would show an expectant expression on her face.
If Lin Shuo laughed along.
Xia Yuqiu would hum a couple of times, just like a triumphant general from ancient times, and then continue watching videos.
If Lin Shuo hadn't laughed.
Xia Yuqiu pouted, turned away dejectedly, and looked for the next video.
Then repeat the above steps.
I came across a video of a couple being affectionate.
Xia Yuqiu would chuckle foolishly twice, then lean closer to Lin Shuo.
Sudden.
A picture and text message caught Xia Yuqiu's attention.
This picture is very simple.
The background is a chat log.
The text was only a few lines long.
"Auntie, he and I are truly in love!"
"I'll give you 100 million, leave my son..."
"Auntie...I..."
"I'll give you 500 million."
"Okay, Auntie, I understand. I will leave your son."
I saw this message.
Xia Yuqiu's breath hitched.
"If my dad had given Lin Shuo a million back then, would he...?"
When she was talking to Lin Shuo back then.
The family was very welcoming.
First of all.
Xia Yuqiu was adopted.
Her adoptive parents lost their ability to have children due to health reasons.
Therefore, there was not much interference in Xia Yuqiu's relationship.
As long as the two people are happy together, that's all that matters.
But if…
If Xia Yuqiu's adoptive parents had given Lin Shuo one million yuan, just like in this video, to make him leave them...
Thinking of this.
Xia Yuqiu turned around.
Her pretty face was full of seriousness.
His eyes were also full of determination.
Lin Shuo was playing with Xia Yuqiu's hair.
Seeing her suddenly turn around, he casually asked, "Um... what's wrong?"
"Um... I mean... if... if..." Xia Yuqiu cleared her throat, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke:
"If when we first met... my dad offered you 100 million yuan to leave me... would you have taken the money?"
Done.
Xia Yuqiu pursed her lips.
Her little hands gripped the blanket tightly, her eyes fixed on Lin Shuo, trying to find the answer on his face.
I heard what Xia Yuqiu said.
A mischievous glint appeared in Lin Shuo's eyes, and he leaned closer to ask, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth!" Xia Yuqiu blurted out without even thinking.
