Chapter 70: Were You Happy These Last Few Days?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After sending off the lead host and his sister, she became a pauper overnight.

“I’m feeling the pinch now…” she uttered mournfully while clutching her chest.

My money! Oh, my money!

Her bestie did not have the heart to chide her further. “How about I soothe your pain with some ice cream?”

She lifted her head with a piteous look. “I want two!”

Li Meng could not bear to look into her bruised and swollen face. “I’ll get you two.”

As she enjoyed the ice cream her friend got for her, she felt her pain slowly dissolving away.

“I’m gonna work harder from today onwards!”

“How much more do you want to do? Other than when you’re sleeping at night, you’re working the whole time.” Her friend rolled her eyes.

“Sigh. If only there’re 48 hours in a day,” she lamented.

“Even 48 hours wouldn’t be sufficient for you.”

Right at this time, Wu Xingye called. “I have an assignment here that pays well. Since I can’t do this alone, do the two of you want to join in?”

“Definitely! Wait for us, we’ll be there soon!” After she put down the phone, she dragged her friend along enthusiastically.

The moment Wu Xingye saw her face, he threw her a surgical mask. “You better cover your face to avoid ruining our reputation.”

Her mouth twitched. “What kinda comment is that?!”

…

By the time the man had returned, her face was cleared of all marks. Due to her diligent cleansing and maintenance, her small face shone and was even more translucent and rosy. She looked better than before.

“You look like you’ve enjoyed yourself when I wasn’t around.”

She was absolutely glowing.

She was indeed happy these last few days. Not only did she manage to avert a crisis with him, she had accepted a big assignment while at her poorest. A big sum of money would come her way after the mission was accomplished.

Furthermore, she’d had ample sleep without him around.

Nevertheless, his tone spelled danger.

“How is that possible? Look at me, look at my eyes. Can you see the dark circles around them?” Standing on tiptoe, she lifted her small face for him to examine.

He closed in on her for a better look but could not find anything. All he could see was her glowing, translucent cheeks.

“I didn’t sleep well at night.” Her demeanor looked as if she had it terrible every night because he was not around.

He glanced at her without a word.

She was elated. Am I safe now?

“Hubby, are you hungry? Do you want me to cook noodles for you?” She activated the virtuous wife mode.

Staring at her, he replied with a pensive and mesmerized look, “Okay.”

“I’ll go and cook for you…” Before she could finish her sentence, the man went to sweep her up in his arms.

She could not help stammering under his watchful, blazing eyes. “Don’t… you want me to cook for you?”

“Eh, I’ll bring you to the kitchen.”

…

The next day when she woke up, she could not help thinking that she was the losing party in this marriage. It required so much of her energy and physique!

“If only we were living during the imperial days…” she muttered under her breath as she sat up on the bed.

But quickly, she changed her mind. “No, no… ancient times won’t do…”

“What is it about ancient times?”

A male voice suddenly boomed beside her, which startled her so badly that she pulled the cover over her head and burrowed between the sheets.

Why was he still here?!
