Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 53

They Almost Scared His Soul Away! ( 2 )
Seeing Lu Jueyu enter the room, the educated youths entered the living room and looked at the brown steamed cake. By smelling the aroma, they already know that the cake must be delicious.

Lu Jueyu sat on the kang and looked at them through the open door. Seeing that they dare not take the cake, she urged, “Go on and taste it.”

“Then we won’t be polite. Thank you, sister-in-law.” One of them swallowed and said.

After wiping his hands on his clothes several times, he picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. The steamed cake is soft and spongy. Fragrant and sweet. While chewing, he couldn’t help making a contented groan.

Seeing him eating so deliciously, the other educated youths were drooling and took the cake one after another. As the four of them continued to sigh or groan, Li Chenmo was startled and woke up suddenly.

Because of his sudden movement, Lu Jueyu was taken aback. She looked at him with wide eyes, patted her chest, and asked, “Brother Chenmo, what’s wrong with you?”

Li Chenmo looked at her and found that she was fine. Then he heard sighs and groans from the living room. When he saw the situation, he was so angry that steam could come out of his nostrils.

Hearing those ambiguous voices in his sleep, he thought Lu Jueyu was being bullied and woke up in fright. But after waking up, he found that there was nothing wrong with her, and those voices were made by those educated youths while eating. They almost scared his soul away!

Seeing that his face was almost as dark as Judge Bao’s, Lu Jueyu thought he was woken up by them and was upset. So, she pointed at them and said, “I made steamed cakes for you just now. Since they haven’t eaten yet, I gave them a slice each.”

When the educated youth heard Lu Jueyu’s words, they turned their heads and saw Li Chenmo looking at them coldly. They were all stunned when they saw his gaze.

“Cough! Cough!” They coughed almost simultaneously.

Lu Jueyu was taken aback by their neat timing of coughing, and said, “Are you all right? You should go drink some water.”

As if being pardoned, they nodded and hurried to the kitchen. Seeing their antics, the corners of her mouth twitched. People of this world are indeed interesting.

“Brother Chenmo, do you want to try the cake? It tastes best when it’s warm.” She asked.

“Mhmm.” He nodded.

She went to fetch the bowl and put it on the table. A bowl can be cut into eight pieces, so after giving them each a slice, there are still four pieces left. Li Chenmo took a piece and took a bite after drinking some water. Although he had eaten breakfast, he was a military man and he was still recovering from his injuries. After Lu Jueyu’s careful care these days, his appetite has grown. Because of the delicious taste, he ate three pieces at once before stopping.

“How is it?” she asked despite knowing the answer.

“Very delicious.” He praised her sincerely.

“There’s another bowl inside the steamer in the kitchen. If you want to eat it just heat it up.”

“Okay.”

When the sun was setting, Father Li finally came back, followed by his second son and second daughter-in-law. Seeing them coming, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu went to the living room together.

Seeing Lu Jueyu, Father Li smiled and said, “Xiaoyu is here.”

“Uncle Li.” She greeted him with a smile.

Before Father Li introduced her to the other two, the woman asked, “Is this third brother’s fiancee?”

As she asked, she looked at Lu Jueyu from head to toe with narrowed eyes. There was a trace of disdain in her eyes, which was seen by Li Chenmo and Father Li.

Seeing Father Li and Li Chenmo’s faces darken, Lu Jueyu hurriedly said, “Yes, sister-in-law. My name is Lu Jueyu. Nice to meet you.”

With those words, Father Li lost the opportunity to scold his second daughter-in-law, and could only say, “This is your second brother Li Chenxuan, and this is his wife Jiao Siyu.”

“Hello, second brother, sister-in-law.”

Li Chenxuan was surprised to find that his third brother’s fiancee was a beautiful young lady. Judging from her words and reactions just now, she seems to be a cultured person.

While Li Chenxuan was surprised, Lu Jueyu also couldn’t believe that this man was Li Chenmo’s second brother. Not only is he below average in appearance, but he is also about the same height as her, which is around 163 cm. Compared with Li Chenze and Li Chenmo who are both handsome and over 180 cm tall, this person didn’t look like their brother at all. Maybe he took after Mother Li’s appearance?

Jiao Siyu was very irritated when she found out that her husband looked at Lu Jueyu for a long time without blinking. She snorted as she knew her husband’s lustful nature, and said while eyeing Lu Jueyu, “So, this is the spoiled daughter of the Lu family. No wonder she could bewitch my third brother and those men. She indeed has the capabilities.”

Hearing her words, Li Chenmo’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Second sister-in-law, you should be careful with what you say. I will not allow anyone to disrespect my wife, including my family.”

Being reprimanded in front of Lu Jueyu, Jiao Siyu got angry due to embarrassment, and asked, “Isn’t that so? You don’t have to defend her, I know everything about her entanglement with those men from the villagers.”

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Li Chenxuan, and asked, “Are you just watching him disrespect me?”

Li Chenxuan was dissatisfied with Li Chenmo since he didn’t give him a face, and said, “Third brother, you should apologize to your sister-in-law. As your elder, can she say a few words to your wife?”

Hearing what his second brother said, Li Chenmo chuckled and said, “Are those words what an elder should say? She didn’t even bother to find out the truth and say those words to my wife. So, what is the difference between her and those gossiping people?”
