Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Realization
Noticing his wife’s little movements, Li Chenmo raised the corner of his lips and kissed her gently again.

While the two of them were enjoying their own world, Pan Meijia was wailing in her heart. Because of them, she didn’t even dare to look to the side, for fear of seeing something she shouldn’t see. Although she was happy that her friend had married a good man, she couldn’t help but complain.

‘Brother-in-law, can you hold back and hug your wife when you are alone? Maintaining my posture like this for a long time, my neck is so sore ah!’

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Lu Jueyu to prepare the meal, so she was not fed ‘dog food’ for a long time. Pan Meijia breathed a sigh of relief when Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu left the kitchen to eat. Finally free to look around, she wrapped her buns while flexing her sore neck.

Not long after, she heard someone coming. She thought it was Lu Jueyu, so she asked, “Jueyu, should we steam all the buns or just half of it?”

When she turned to look at the door, she found Ling Yun standing at the door looking at her. Thinking of their conversation yesterday, Pan Meijia felt a little embarrassed and asked, “Brother Ling, do you need anything?”

Ling Yun looked at her and asked, “Can you give me a glass of water?”

Seeing that his clothes were soaked with sweat, she nodded and asked, “Have you eaten? We prepared a lot of steamed buns and some porridge. Do you want some?”

“Mhmm.” Ling Yun said, his eyes following her every move as if he wanted to graft her figure into his mind.

Feeling his burning eyes on her back, Pan Meijia became nervous for no reason and her heart beat fast. After a brief conversation, the room fell into silence. Pan Meijia handed him a bowl of porridge, three steamed buns, and a cup of warm tea.

When she thought that Ling Yun might bring up yesterday’s topic, or at least stay a little longer, she heard him say, “Thank you.”

Taking the food and tea from her hand, Ling Yun turned around and left the kitchen without hesitation. Pan Meijia was surprised to see him leaving like this. She looked at his back blankly. Thinking of what she said to him, she felt uneasy in her heart.

“He won’t really alienate me, will he?” she muttered in a low voice.

Suddenly, she patted her cheek and scolded herself, “Pan Meijia, you shouldn’t be like this! It was you who wanted to keep your distance from him. Since he fulfilled your wish, you should be happy.”

After a while, she put her hands down, placed them on her heart, and muttered with a frown, “But why does it hurt so much here?”

While she was lost in thought, Ling Yun stood by the window and looked at her with burning gazes. He clenched his fists and said in a low voice, “It seems that what Xiao Li said is right.”

He stood there for a long time, and he didn’t leave until he saw Pan Meijia walking out of the kitchen.

When the sun went down and the villagers finished their work, they returned home to take a shower and change clothes and then went to Li Chenxuan’s home to pay their last respects to Jiao Siyu and express condolences to the family of the deceased.

After the sky darkened, the Lu family came over with several braziers. Although spring has arrived, the weather is still cold at night. Since the tables are placed outside, the Li family needs many braziers to keep their guests warm. So, they lent the brazier to the Li family.

Seeing them coming, Father Li walked over and said, “Brother Lu, thank you for coming.”

“Brother Li, my deepest condolences.” Father Lu said, patting Father Li on the shoulder.

They have been friends for decades and their relationship is like blood brothers. Looking at Father Li’s haggard face, Father Lu sighed and said, “Brother Li, if you need any help, just ask.”

Father Li nodded and invited them in, “Brother Lu, please come in.”

Father Lu, Mother Lu, and the rest of the Lu family bowed to the coffin and put some money in the box next to it. The box contains condolence money that will later be used to pay for funeral expenses. After saying a few words of condolences to the Li family, they went out and took a seat.

When Li Chenmo came out of the kitchen with a pot of hot tea, he saw the Lu family sitting by the wall. He quickened his pace and walked over. When he arrived at their table, he said, “Father, Mother, brothers, sisters-in-law, thank you for coming.”

Father Lu nodded to him, and Mother Lu said, “Son-in-law, you will be busy these days. Remember to take care of your own health.”

Hearing her words of concern, Li Chenmo nodded and said, “Mother, I will take good care of Jueyu and myself.”

Not long after, Lu Jueyu came over, carrying a plate of snacks and a pot of tea. Seeing his wife holding the heavy kettle, Li Chenmo quickly took it from her hand and frowned, “Wife, leave this kind of work to me. What should I do if you get hurt?”

“I’m not that fragile.” Lu Jueyu said with a smile, but she still let him take away the tray and kettle in her hands.

She turned to look at her family and asked, “Father, Mother, have you eaten? We prepared some steamed buns.”

Wang Muxiao’s eyes lit up when she heard that there were steamed buns to eat. But seeing Mother Lu’s warning look, she swallowed her words back and said, “Jueyu, we come after dinner.”

Lu Jueyu was startled by her words. She knew very well that the second sister-in-law would never refuse a meal, especially if it was free. Therefore, she didn’t expect that she would actually reject her offer.
