Chapter 19: Showing Off

Lin Yi did not think much of it. After she returned home, she founded her own studio and earned tens of millions of dollars in her first year. There were not many men around her who made more money than her. At the time, she joked with her best friend, saying that when she had time, she would find herself a man, be a sugar mommy, and experience the true joy of being a rich woman.

Lin Yi did not think that women needed to spend men’s money.

Moreover, Wei Luan was not a freeloader. He was smart and capable. In the future, he would be the richest man in the country!

However, the current Wei Luan did not know about his future achievements. He did not feel good eating the meat Lin Yi bought for him.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, “Don’t feel uncomfortable. When you make a lot of money in the future, I won’t hesitate to spend your money. Anyway, we’re already married. What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours. That’s how a family should be, isn’t it?”

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Wei Luan raised his head.

Family… Did she think of him as her family? Did she really think that way?

Wei Luan took another bite of the bun and suddenly felt less uncomfortable.

At the same time, Wei Luan swore in his heart that he would work harder in the future and never let Lin Yi suffer with him.

The three of them finished their buns with satisfaction. Lin Yi patted the boy’s head and said, “I’m not letting you eat for free. Later, go to town and help me send a letter. Then, go to the market and the fabric shop to check the prices. Take note of it and report it to me, understand?”

The little boy clenched his fists and nodded seriously.

Lin Yi handed the letter for her family to the little boy, and the little boy left like a gust of wind.

“I’m planning to ask him to run errands for me in the future. If there’s anything you need him to do, just tell him. If we make him work for food, he will feel more useful and productive,” Lin Yi said.

Wei Luan looked at Lin Yi in surprise. He did not expect Lin Yi to be so kind and reasonable.

It seemed like the rumors in the village could not be trusted. Lin Yi was not such a bad person.

Knock knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door. Lin Yi frowned and stopped Wei Luan. “I’ll go open the door.”

After opening the door, Lin Yi saw Lan Hui standing outside. When Lan Hui saw that it was Lin Yi, she was not surprised and asked, “Is Brother Wei Luan home?”

Wei Luan did not expect Lan Hui to come looking for him again. When he thought about how Lin Yi had misunderstood that he liked Lan Hui, he was a little anxious. He was afraid that Lin Yi would get angry again.

“Just tell me what you want to say,” Lin Yi snapped. “After all, I’m his wife!”

Hearing Lin Yi’s last sentence, Wei Luan felt his face turn red and his heart beat faster.

Lan Hui was very angry, but she could only force a smile on her face. “Alright then. Give this plate of almond pastry to Brother Wei Luan. He helped me cut wheat in the wheat field today. I’m here to thank him.”

After saying this, Lan Hui looked at Lin Yi proudly as if she was showing off.

See? Your man helped me with my work. Doesn’t it piss you off?

“Oh, then I’ll have to trouble you to ask someone else for help in the future. Don’t look for my man anymore. Thank you for your gift then. Goodbye now!” Lin Yi took the plate of almond pastries and closed the door.

Lan Hui looked at the tightly shut door and widened her eyes in anger. She had not even finished bragging, but Lin Yi had already closed the door!

She had specially asked her father to arrange for her to cut wheat in the wheat field today so that she could find an excuse to continue looking for Wei Luan.

She had asked Wei Luan to cut the wheat for her. As long as Wei Luan helped her, she would be able to find an opportunity to thank Wei Luan in the future. They could naturally get closer in the process.

However, she did not expect Wei Luan to reject her request! Wei Luan asked her to look for Jing Yan instead!

Lan Hui was so angry that she almost fainted. However, she quickly found an excuse for Wei Luan in her heart. Wei Luan must have been unhappy because she was too close to Jing Yan in the past.

He deliberately refused to help her and even asked her to look for Jing Yan. He was just jealous!

Hence, the smile on Lan Hui’s face returned. “Brother Wei Luan, just help me for a while. My third brother will come over to help me soon. If he sees that I didn’t cut any wheat, he will definitely complain to my father. Can you bear to let me be scolded? Please help me, will you?”

At the time, Wei Luan thought to himself: “If you don’t know how to harvest wheat, why did you come to the wheat field? Your father is a captain. Didn’t you never do farm work before?”
