Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 45

Shameless Xiao Yiqing
“Brother Chenmo said, this is a happy occasion, which is only once in a lifetime. So, it’s okay to buy more and share the happiness. If there are leftovers, we can use them as wedding candies.” Lu Jueyu said calmly.

Because she knew that her family would not ask Li Chenmo such trivial matters, so every time they asked, she used him as a shield. It’s very convenient for her.

Before Mother Lu left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu asked, “Mother, have you served tea to the guests?”

“We just serve them with hot water,” Mother Lu said.

It is normal for villagers to serve hot water to the guests, after all tea is expensive and rare.

“I’ll prepare some tea and snacks for the guests. It’s cold today and they might not have eaten breakfast before coming.”

When mother Lu heard her words, she knew that she was worried about a certain someone and used the excuse of a guest. Mother Lu just glanced at her with smiling eyes and said, “Then we will do as you say.”

After Mother Lu left the kitchen, Lu Jueyu took out several bottles of fresh milk and heated it up together with water in a large pot, before adding some tea leaves and salt. This drink is a Mongolian traditional drink used to greet guests. She once traveled to Mongolia and tried it. After that, she makes it occasionally because she likes the taste. She makes the drink with black tea and whole milk. When ready, she strains it and pours it into another pot.

As soon as Lu Jueyu took out two baskets of butter cookies she made earlier from the space, Wang Muxiao entered the kitchen. She gasped when she saw the pot of milk tea and the two baskets of biscuits.

“Jueyu ah, today is only sending a betrothal gift. If you do it so extravagantly, what will we do on your wedding day?” She asked worriedly.

Hearing her words, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “Second sister-in-law, don’t worry. Brother Chenmo has already prepared the ingredients. It’s just that on the day of the wedding, I will need to ask my sister-in-law to help me.”

“Don’t worry about it. I’ve invited my friends, and everyone is happy to help.” Wang Muxiao said with a wave of her hand.

Thinking of the purpose of her visit, she said quickly, “Okay, Mother asked me to bring the drink over, we’ll talk later.”

After she took out the cup and biscuits, she came back to get milk tea. When she took out the biscuits, everyone was surprised and praised the Lu family for their generosity. But when she brought a big pot of milk tea, even Li Chenmo was stunned.

In this era, milk was very rare. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. So when Wang Muxiao brought a big pot of milk, everyone’s eyes were on it, especially Xiao Yiqing and Pan Meijia. The Lu family thought it was prepared by Li Chenmo, while the Li family and others thought it was prepared by the Lu family. So, no one asked about the milk.

Seeing that the Lu family has been busy since the morning, Xiao Yiqing felt something was wrong. So, when Pan Meijia asked her out, she refused. Since she didn’t want to go out, Pan Meijia also stayed in the room, because she had no other friends except Xiao Yiqing in this village.

When the Li family arrived, both of them were surprised. Under normal circumstances, marriage is a private matter, so they, as outsiders, should either leave home for a period of time or stay in their own rooms when the Li family sends the betrothal gift.

However, when Xiao Yiqing saw Li Chenmo walking over with crutches, she couldn’t take her eyes off him at all. Her heart was beating fast and her face was flushed. Such a handsome man is indeed the hero, and only she is qualified to stand by his side.

When she saw what the Li family had brought, she was so jealous that she almost broke her nails from clenching her fist too tightly. In order to attract Li Chenmo’s attention, she had the cheek to come to the living room and sit with them.

Mother Lu frowned when she saw her. Not to mention she was an outsider, as an unmarried girl, she should not come to the living room. But today is an important day and she doesn’t want it to look bad. That’s why when Xiao Yiqing sat down, she didn’t say anything.

Seeing Xiao Yiqing boldly sitting with them in the living room, Pan Meijia kept blinking to hint at her. But she didn’t know what happened to her friend recently. Not only has her personality changed, but she even behaves shamelessly and sometimes even arrogantly.

Xiao Yiqing and Pan Meijia used to be very good friends since they were young, but three months ago, Pan Meijia began to notice that Xiao Yiqing sometimes looked at her coldly, even with a hint of disdain. Now, seeing her sitting so close to someone else’s husband-to-be gave her mixed emotions. She frowned and looked at Xiao Yiqing’s back with disagreement.

As soon as Wang Muxiao sat down, she noticed some small movements of Xiao Yiqing. Unlike her mother-in-law and Chen Anwen, she never thinks before doing something. Therefore, when she poured the milk tea for the guests, she did not give it to Xiao Yiqing.

Seeing that Wang Muxiao didn’t give her a drink, Xiao Yiqing asked, “Sister-in-law, can you give me a glass?”

Wang Muxiao, acting as if startled, turned her head to look at Xiao Yiqing, opened her eyes wide and said with surprise, “Miss Xiao, what are you doing here? How can you listen to other people’s private affairs so shamelessly? Also, why are you sitting so close to my family’s son-in-law?”

If she didn’t mention it, no one would notice how close Xiao Yiqing’s sitting position is to Li Chenmo’s.
