Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Invitation
“I’m fine,” Ling Yun said casually as if he didn’t understand what Pan Meijia’s words meant.

Ling Yun’s answer left Pan Meijia speechless. She had tried to hint Ling Yun many times, not wanting them to get entangled in this ambiguous relationship, but her words seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. Because he always helped her complete her work, everyone thought they were a couple and in a relationship. In fact, they are just ordinary friends.

Ling Yun actually understood what she meant and knew that she wanted to keep a distance from him. However, he didn’t like being a stranger to her. So he always pretended not to understand her words and stuck to her like glue. He looked at her frustrated face and smiled.

After walking for a while, they saw an educated youth standing on the side of the road, looking at them. Or more accurately, that educated youth was looking at Pan Meijia. For a moment, Ling Yun had the urge to stand in front of her and block the man’s gaze. But before he could do anything, he heard Pan Meijia greeting the man.

“Comrade Han, what are you doing here?” Pan Meijia asked with a hint of surprise.

Seeing her and Ling Yun walking side by side, the educated youth’s eyes dimmed for a moment before it returned to normal. He glanced at Ling Yun for a moment before he looked at Pan Meijia and said with a smile, “I’m waiting for you.”

Pan Meijia was startled by his words and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Well… I want to treat you to dinner. Do you have free time?” he asked shyly.

After speaking, he glanced at Ling Yun and saw that he was frowning. Ling Yun was a little displeased with the invitation from the educated youth, but Pan Meijia didn’t think much about it. It is normal for educated youths to get together for a meal occasionally. She also joined them on several occasions. They would eat together while discussing some of the political situations in the capital.

After thinking for a while, she said, “Comrade Han, thank you for inviting me.”

When she said this, the two men looked at her with two different gazes. When Ling Yun heard this, his eyes turned cold, while the educated youth was happy. Before Comrade Han could say anything, she added, “But I’m too tired from work, so I can only refuse your invitation. I’m sorry.”

Comrade Han was stunned for a moment after hearing her words. He looked at the two of them, smiled awkwardly, and asked, “Are you two together?”

Pan Meijia was confused, but Ling Yun understood. So when Pan Meijia wasn’t paying attention, he nodded slightly to him. When Comrade Han saw him nodding, his face turned pale and he took a few steps back. Pan Meijia was taken aback, thinking that he was not feeling well.

Before she could step forward to help him or answer the educated youth’s question, Ling Yun held her wrist and said with a frown, “My arm hurts.”

When she heard that his arm was hurting, she forgot Comrade Han’s pale face and unsteady steps. She quickly held Ling Yun’s arm and asked, “Did the wound open again?”

“I don’t know.” Ling Yun looked at her worried face and said in a low voice.

When Pan Meijia checked his arm, Ling Yun looked at Comrade Han coldly. Seeing their intimate behavior, Comrade Han finally believed that Pan Meijia and Ling Yun were in a relationship. He seemed to have lost his soul, turned around, and walked away listlessly.

Ling Yun watched him go until he could no longer see his back, then he looked at Pan Meijia and said, “I’m fine. The pain is gone.”

“Are you sure?” Pan Meijia asked.

“Mhmm.”

“When we have a day off, we will go to the hospital to check your wound again. The doctor said you should not lift heavy objects, but you still use your injured arm to help me work. What if the wound worsens?” Pan Meijia said worriedly.

“I’m fine.”

Hearing his answer, Pan Meijia let go of his arm and said, “I’ll cook bone soup for you tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After Ling Yun sent Pan Meijia back to the Lu family’s house, he returned to his home carrying a bamboo basket. There was a jar of candied fruits, a few steamed buns, a bowl of braised pork, and a plate of stir-fried pickled vegetables, all made by Wang Muxiao.

Since Pan Meijia bought the ingredients, Wang Muxiao didn’t mind Pan Meijia sharing a portion with her friends. Therefore, after sending Pan Meijia back to the Lu family every day, Ling Yun would come back with dinner. His life in Xie village is much more comfortable than before.

At the same time, Li Chenmo just finished taking a shower in Lu Jueyu’s space and went to find his wife. When he walked into the kitchen, he saw his wife putting dinner on the table. Looking at her white and slender legs, his Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and his desire was ignited.

Because the weather in the space is comfortable, Lu Jueyu likes to wear shorts and T-shirts. She felt comfortable and accustomed to such clothes in her previous life which made her forget that her husband was born and raised in an era when women wore long sleeves and long pants all year round. The way she looks now is a great temptation to her husband.

Looking at his wife’s alluring figure, Li Chenmo felt itchy in his heart and hugged her from behind.

Feeling her husband’s warm body surrounding her, Lu Jueyu said, “Let’s have dinner first, and then go to Father’s house.”

“Mhmm.” Li Chenmo hummed lightly, buried his head on her shoulder, took a deep breath, and smelled her unique fragrance.

Lu Jueyu let him hug her for a while and then asked, “Aren’t you hungry?”

“I am.” He said hoarsely as his eyes darkened.
