Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1299

Chapter 1299: Insufficient Fund
Raising his eyebrows, Li Chenmo walked over and placed his hands on the recliner’s armrests—trapping his wife. He was shirtless, and his body was covered with a layer of sweat from working.

At this moment, he was exuding a thick, masculine scent unique to a mature man. As he leaned closer, his body’s scent hit Lu Jueyu, making her heartbeat increase and her cheeks flush.

Li Chenmo looked at his wife’s lovely reaction and let out a suppressed chuckle. He knew how to seduce his wife and make her fall for him more and more. Since she liked his body, then he should show it off more.

With this thought, he held his wife’s hand and kissed her palm. Afterward, he placed her palm on his jaw and guided her to touch his Adam’s apple.

When he felt his wife trying to pull back her hand, he pressed it against his body and guided it to touch his collarbone, chest muscles, and slowly glide over his toned abs. When her hand reached his lower abdomen, he stopped suddenly.

Lu Jueyu’s eyes widened with anticipation as they remained glued to her palm’s movement. But before she could touch her husband’s little brother, he suddenly let go of her hand and said, “Wife, you are blushing.”

The moment she heard her husband’s hoarse voice, Lu Jueyu came back to her senses. Meeting his teasing gaze, she felt her cheeks burning.

After a moment of loss, she pushed him away and said, “Don’t teach bad things to our babies.”

Li Chenmo didn’t plan to do anything to her, so when she pushed him, he just followed her wishes and let her go. He helped her up, touched his wife’s abdomen, and said, “Our babies wouldn’t know. They are still too small to understand.”

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu only gave him a side glance and changed the topic, “Husband, I’m hungry.”

As soon as he heard this, Li Chenmo stopped teasing her and asked, “Wife, what do you want to eat?”

“I want to eat chicken herbal soup. There are still some in the warehouse,” Lu Jueyu replied while smacking her lips.

Seeing her greedy expression, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, “Okay. What else do you want to eat?”

Lu Jueyu looked at his toned muscles for a moment before she moved her gaze and said, “Anything will do.”

“Okay, you wait for a while. I will go cook it for you,” Li Chenmo said while supporting her into the house.

Being treated so carefully, Lu Jueyu sighed and said, “Husband, I’m not that fragile.”

Hearing her complaint, Li Chenmo chuckled and pinched her nose lightly while saying, “But I just love to treat you like this. You are my precious treasure.”

After he took a shower, he went to prepare lunch for his wife while Lu Jueyu browsed the space’s store. When she saw the factory that could produce baby products, her eyes lit up. She pressed the buy button, but unlike usual, a warning box popped up.

“Insufficient funds! Purchase failed!”

When she saw this, she was taken aback and went to check her inventory. There were still almost 10 million gold coins—how could it not be enough to purchase the factory?

Then, she returned to the space’s store and finally checked the price. The baby product factory was sold for 50 million gold coins.

The moment she saw the price, she was shocked. Compared to the other factories she had purchased before, this factory was almost ten times more expensive.

It seemed that it was not possible to buy this factory now.

Feeling dejected, she closed the factory section and checked the space’s settings. She was still curious about what had happened to that 800-year-old ginseng.

She read the information about the space and how it worked without missing a single word. But even after she finished reading everything, she still didn’t find the answer to her doubts.

Lost in her thoughts, she casually rubbed her abdomen, not knowing that inside her body, the three little dots were absorbing the spiritual energy in the space greedily.

After they finished absorbing the energy, they let out a long burp, which turned into a string of energy that merged with Lu Jueyu’s veins and meridians. This cycle continued as long as she stayed in her space.

No one knew what effect the energy absorbed by her body would have, but for now, she only felt warm and comfortable. As time passed, she felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep on the soft sofa.

In the kitchen, Li Chenmo’s hands suddenly froze when he felt the disturbance of energy around him. After so many times entering his wife’s space, this was the first time he could feel the flow of energy so clearly.

Turning around, he saw a thin, almost transparent membrane wrapping his sleeping wife.

The membrane emitted a soft glow similar to the one emitted by the cocoon in the lake. He observed for a while and relaxed when he saw that his wife was sleeping and unharmed.

When he returned to his cooking, he suddenly heard faint voices talking. Frowning, he looked around but saw no one. Thinking that he was imagining things, he continued working.

Suddenly, the voices became clearer, and he finally heard an old man’s voice.

“Look at what you did! Because of your heart blood, your cultivation has dropped by more than one-third. No wonder you were injured when you subdued that old demon.”

“Old man, I’m dying here, and you still scold me. Where is your heart, ah?” another voice asked.

From the voice, Li Chenmo could differentiate them. One clearly belonged to an old man, while the other sounded younger. He just didn’t know why he was suddenly hearing these voices.

“Xiao Lu, how about you go get back your heart blood?” the old voice asked.

“No way! Those are my gifts for my grandchildren. How can I take back a gift I sent out?” the young voice refused stubbornly.
