Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1002

Chapter 1002: Secret Talk ( 1 )
When Li Lingyun heard his girlfriend’s words, he smiled and said, “I want you to do that. But as you said, with the relationship between your family and his, it would put you in a difficult position if you ignore him. And if I did this, it would be unfair to you and selfish of me.”

After a moment of silence, he added, “Jia Er, even if I feel jealous, it’s not your problem but mine. I trust you, I know you won’t do anything that lets me down. So, I won’t forbid you from doing anything you want to do or force you to do things against your will.”

When Pan Meijia heard this, her heart felt warm. She nodded and said, “Brother Yun, you can tell me if you feel uncomfortable. I will do my best to limit my contact with him.”

Li Lingyun hooked his pinky finger with hers and smiled, “Thank you for understanding, Jia Er. Wait for me to pick you up in two days.”

Hearing this, Pan Meijia smiled shyly and nodded, “Okay. I will wait for you at home.”

After they talked for a while, Li Lingyun walked her to the car and watched her leave with her brother before returning to his family.

Since the rented house was near the compound where the Pan family lived, they took a bus to get there. Half an hour later, they finally reached the rented house.

When everyone saw the house, they were surprised, especially Lu Jueyu. The house was a traditional courtyard house with two gates.

In the modern era, this type of house would cost over five million in suburban areas, let alone in the capital city. She couldn’t imagine how her second brother-in-law managed to rent it, but it must have been expensive.

Li Chenmo noticed his wife’s bright smile as she looked around. Since there were plenty of rooms, he and Lu Jueyu took one for themselves, while Dong Li stayed with Father Li.

Once they were in their room, Li Chenmo placed their bags on the table and asked, “Wife, do you like this kind of house?”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “I have always wanted to buy a courtyard house, but it’s too expensive. I can’t afford one.”

Li Chenmo thought for a moment and replied, “Then, when the time is right, how about we buy a few courtyard houses? If we are lucky, we might even get a three-gate courtyard or a manor.”

Feeling excited, Lu Jueyu asked with bright eyes, “Husband, can we really buy a manor?”

In the modern era, manors were usually government-owned and only available to the wealthiest families. High prices and rarity kept them out of reach for most people. Therefore, if she could own a manor, it might become their family’s inheritance.

Seeing her excitement, Li Chenmo gave her a light kiss and said, “Of course. With our accumulated wealth, buying a manor and some courtyard houses shouldn’t be a problem.”

“We should also buy storefronts, houses, and land as investments. In the future, these asset prices will increase by a hundredfold,” he added.

Lu Jueyu nodded and agreed with her husband, “Alright, then we should sell more grain while the price is high and earn as much as possible.”

“Wife, you could also sell more medicine since you have so much stored in your space,” Li Chenmo suggested.

Thinking about the medicine, Lu Jueyu nodded. After reducing the amount of her spiritual herb powders used in the medicine recipe by 90%, the medicine’s effects from her space were no longer overly strong.

It is just slightly better than those sold in hospitals. So, selling them on the black market wouldn’t be too eye-catching and bring trouble to them.

Thinking about this matter, she looked at her husband and asked, “Husband, should we visit the black market here in the capital?”

Considering the recent unrest in the capital, Li Chenmo shook his head and said, “It’s better not to, the situation in the Capital is not peaceful. We can sell everything to Houzi and let him handle the distribution to avoid getting into trouble.”

Since her husband already said this, Lu Jueyu had no objection and nodded, “Okay, I will listen to you.”

After their conversation, they both went to her space to enjoy a hot bath and then went to sleep. When they woke up ten hours later, they exercised for two hours, showered, and cooked some foods, snacks, and brewed wine.

When they finished, they came out from the space and reappeared in their room.

Since everyone was still sleeping, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo went to check the kitchen. Although they had ready food in her space, they still needed to light the stove and cook to avoid the suspicions.

After they cleaned up the kitchen, they moved the ingredients into the kitchen, and organized everything into cabinets and jars. When she saw that the ingredients were lacking, Lu Jueyu took out more items from her space, including salted meat.

The amount of food they had now was enough to last them for half a month. With everything organized, Li Chenmo went to wash the large wok and pots, while Lu Jueyu lit the fire.

Since there was no fresh chicken or duck, she made a pot of mushroom soup, stir-fried cabbage with bacon, braised eggplant with mushrooms, and Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce.

Though there was only one meat dish, the use of oil in the vegetable dishes made them aromatic and mouth-watering. For rice, she used a rice cooker in her space to save time, and she added pandan leaves for extra fragrance.

With the help of her husband, Lu Jueyu finished cooking in less than an hour. Not long after she extinguished the fire in the stove, Dong Li and Li Lingyun entered the kitchen.

Seeing that they had finished cooking, Li Lingyun asked with surprise, “Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, did you not rest after we arrived?”
