The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead - Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Chapter 273: Medicinal Bath

Ms. Nian Shutong got up and saw Dou Dou by the door, who obediently brought Little Pink Pig with him.

“Auntie, are you up?” Dou Dou immediately stood up, looking at Ms. Nian Shutong with concern, “Auntie, are you still tired?”

Ms. Nian Shutong petted Dou Dou’s head and said, “Don’t worry, auntie isn’t tired anymore.”

Dou Dou seemed not quite reassured, carefully staring at Ms. Nian Shutong, as if making sure she wasn’t too tired.

Ms. Nian Shutong pinched Dou Dou’s cheek and told him, “I’m going to eat now, I’m hungry.”

Once Dou Dou heard his auntie say she was hungry, he was sure everything was fine.

Mom had said, being able to eat meant everything was okay.

When Ms. Nian Shutong went to the kitchen, she saw Mr. Fan serving the food.

“I was wondering why it smells so good, it turns out our chef has stewed some meat.”

“Boss, eat more.”

Ms. Nian Shutong took a deep breath, the aroma making her nod repeatedly, wash her hands, and sit down in her seat.

Ms. Nian Shutong had returned, and everyone very punctually appeared by the dining table.

Otherwise, the last few days, Rubble always ate irregularly, even his favorite foods couldn’t attract him as much as his research.

Ha Ha was very punctual indeed, but he didn’t get along well with Fu Yunhe, and the two had never had a quiet meal together.

When everyone was seated, Ms. Nian Shutong picked up her chopsticks and everyone started to eat calmly.

Rubble stopped researching.

Ha Ha stopped glaring at Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe looked at everyone eating honestly, feeling exhausted.

These people really could only be managed by Ms. Nian Shutong.

During the meal, Ms. Nian Shutong really ate a lot and was extremely satisfied.

Eating to her was fulfillment.

After dinner, Ms. Nian Shutong first stopped Rubble and said to him, “Rubble, sit down.”

Rubble didn’t know what it was about but obediently sat down, waiting for Ms. Nian Shutong to speak.

“Rubble, didn’t you say you couldn’t ask Xiao He for money?”

“When Ms. Nian Shutong is home, Rubble asks you for money; when Xiao He is in charge of the household, Rubble asks Xiao He.”

Oh—-

That was Rubble’s logic, which made sense.

Ms. Nian Shutong continued, “Then why do you insist on Xiao He investing in your research? And what exactly is your research about? Are you doing it to make money or do you purely enjoy it?”

Rubble’s large head pondered for a moment, then he said, “Rubble wants to make money, Rubble likes it too.”

“Rubble wants Xiao He to make money too.”

“Why don’t you ask me to invest?” This was also something Ms. Nian Shutong didn’t understand, as Rubble seemed to only care about getting money for himself.

Rubble’s mechanical head shook evenly from side to side.

“Investing is risky.”

“Cough cough–” Fu Yunhe, who was drinking water, choked.

He wanted to say something looking at Rubble but helplessly said nothing.

No problem there! Investing indeed involves risks.

Ms. Nian Shutong looked at Rubble, who was about to talk about the risks of investing, and stopped him from speaking.

“All right, as long as you know investing is risky that’s fine. Turn on your Light Computer, let Xiao He upgrade your security level.”

“Okay.” Rubble obediently turned on his Light Computer, and Fu Yunhe also got up and came over to tinker with it.

“Xiao He, are you sure you don’t want to invest in Rubble? Rubble’s project has great prospects.”

Fu Yunhe didn’t even want to look at Rubble, just said in a strange tone, “You let Ms. Nian Shutong invest.”

“No, Ms. Nian Shutong doesn’t need to invest; all of Rubble’s are Ms. Nian Shutong’s, but Xiao He can invest, it’s different for you.”

How is he not different?

Fu Yunhe hadn’t yet responded when someone else explained.

Elder Hua suddenly realized and explained, “Xiao He, Rubble said you’re an outsider, so you can invest.”

Fu Yunhe looked up at Elder Hua and thought, ‘Thank you so much, Elder!’

But that wasn’t enough, as Ha Ha added another line.

“Rubble is right, I’m also with the good folks.”

“I’m with my aunt too!”

“I want to follow Mr. Nian.”

Dou Dou and Ji Sisi also joined in the excitement.

In an instant, Nian Shutong felt as if this was a scene from a TV drama about a divorce, a bunch of careless children insisting on following their feelings.

“Enough, all of you be quiet!”

With one sentence from Nian Shutong, everyone fell silent and turned to look at her.

“Xiao He is part of our family, as long as he’s here, we will live together. Any one of you is the same. I don’t care where you go later, but as long as you stay here, you are family.”

Nian Shutong had barely finished speaking when Dou Dou started yelling anxiously.

“Aunt, Dou Dou isn’t going anywhere!”

“I like it here, Mr. Nian.”

Ha Ha, with a conflicted expression, said, “Ha Ha needs to find the Commander, but the Commander told me to follow the good people, Ha Ha doesn’t want to leave.”

“Rubble is Mechanical Clan, a race that honors promises.”

“I don’t know where to go, there are strawberries here.”

Everyone expressed their own feelings, leaving only Fu Yunhe.

At this moment, the attention shifted back to him.

Fu Yunhe finally played a card he had almost forgotten.

“Nian Shutong, I am your lawful husband.”

Nian Shutong hadn’t even had time to be touched when she was interrupted by the successive screams of Dou Dou and Ji Sisi.

Dou Dou: “How is that possible?”

Ji Sisi: “How can this be!”

As things looked to get messy again, Nian Shutong promptly cried out, “We’re only married in name, everyone should interact as usual.”

“Disperse.”

She walked away first.

Although these few people were lively, sometimes, they were quite troublesome.

After Fu Yunhe had organized Rubble’s Light Computer, he gave everyone a light smile, gracefully turned around, and left.

He hadn’t really gotten angry; he knew everyone’s temperaments well and fully understood why they all unhesitantly chose Nian Shutong.

Indeed, if it were him, he would do the same.

Nian Shutong simply had that sort of charisma.

At seven o’clock in the evening, Fu Yunhe live-streamed the way to eat sea conches. After the live stream ended, he was called away by Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong had only watched half of today’s live stream before leaving. Fu Yunhe guessed that she had mentioned treating his body.

Fu Yunhe followed Nian Shutong back to the small wooden house, his own room.

Now, in his room, there was a large wooden tub steadily steaming.

“Strip down completely, sit in it, soak.”

“You’ll soak for a total of thirty minutes. Ten minutes later, Ha Ha will come in to add hot water to it.”

“The process will be painful. If you can’t bear it, this will be your first and also your last treatment.”

Nian Shutong’s meaning was simple–if he couldn’t endure the pain, then don’t waste the medicinal soup.

Standing at the door, Fu Yunhe calmly said to Nian Shutong, “I won’t waste it.”

“Good luck.”

Having said that, Nian Shutong walked out and closed the door behind her.

Inside, Fu Yunhe wasted no time, undressed immediately, and stepped into the dark green medicinal soup.
