Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 57

Sudden Cry
While Lu Jueyu was deep in her thoughts, the rest of the Lu family looked at Xiao Yiqing like they were looking at a mental patient. No one understood what she was talking about.

“Husband, can you understand what she’s saying?” Chen Anwen tugged on Lu Heng’s sleeve and asked in a low voice.

“How would I know what a lunatic is thinking?” Lu Heng asked her back in confusion.

“Okay, it’s late. Everyone, go back to your room and rest.” Mother Lu said to disperse them.

After everyone returned to the room, Pan Meijia lay on the bed with her eyes open. Xiao Yiqing’s words kept circling in her mind. Although she didn’t understand the meaning of that sentence, she can be sure that this matter is very important. Because when Lu Jueyu heard this sentence, she looked surprised.

While her friend is not in this world anymore, Lu Jueyu treats her very well. Between Xiao Yiqing and Lu Jueyu, she would choose to help the latter without hesitation. Since Xiao Yiqing dared to threaten Lu Jueyu so blatantly, then she must have a plan. That being the case, she should follow her closely and stop her plan. After making this decision, Pan Meijia closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the room, Wang Muxiao took out a small bag and counted the money. Seeing his wife smiling while counting the money, Lu Cheng asked casually, “When will you hand over the money to Mother?”

Hearing his words, Wang Muxiao’s hands froze, and she turned to stare at her husband, “Can you stop pouring a bucket of cold water on my head whenever I’m feeling happy?”

“Why are you staring at me? I’m just reminding you. Otherwise, when Mother thinks about the money, you will be the one who suffers.” Lu Cheng rolled his eyes at his wife and said.

“Your stinky mouth! Can’t you say something nice? You should learn from your older brother! See how he treats sister-in-law, and how you treat me!” Wang Muxiao was irritated by his words, and couldn’t help but pinched his arm a few times.

“Ouch! Ouch! Pain!” Feeling the severe pain, Lu Cheng yelled while dodging her hand.

“Before you ask me, you should see how you behave. If you are as gentle as your sister-in-law, I will treat you like my brother treats his wife.” Lu Cheng added, rubbing his arms.

Being used to their daily quarrels, Lu Cheng didn’t think much about his words, nor Wang Muxiao’s words. But when he raised his head and saw Wang Muxiao sniffing with red eyes, he was taken aback and panicked.

“I know it! You must feel regret marrying me, right? Wuwuwu… You still can’t forget your gentle white moonlight, can you?” Wang Muxiao said while her tears were rolling down from the corners of her eyes like broken pearls.

Seeing her crying and bringing up the past matter so suddenly, Lu Cheng hurried forward to hug her, but his hand was slapped away instead.

“Don’t touch me! Go find your gentle white moonlight!” Wang Muxiao pushed him and said while crying.

“Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about? How can you tell me to find her? She is already married and has her own children. What’s more, if I really leave, won’t you be pissed off?” Lu Cheng looked at her crying pitifully, and said helplessly.

“So you really plan to find her if she isn’t married?!” Wang Muxiao was shocked and asked with disbelief.

Hearing her accusation, Lu Cheng only felt his head swell. He took a deep breath to calm down and coaxed her, “I didn’t say that. You have wrongly accused me. Alright, don’t cry. If you cry again, your eyes will swell.”

“I don’t want to cry either, but your words make me so sad that I can’t stop crying!” Wang Muxiao said, wiping her tears and snot with Lu Cheng’s sleeve.

She didn’t understand why she was crying like this all of a sudden. Normally, even if her husband said harsh words, she would not feel anything because she knows he didn’t mean it and was just teasing her. But today, his words hurt her heart, causing her tears to flow uncontrollably.

“It’s all my fault, okay? Don’t cry.” Lu Cheng coaxed while hugging his wife.

He doesn’t know what happened to Wang Muxiao. Normally, even if he said harsh words, she would not feel anything and laugh it off. But today, he was just joking with her, yet she cried so sadly and even brought up that person. Is she at that time of the month?

While Lu Cheng was counting the day, Wang Muxiao finally calmed down and said hoarsely, “I’ll count the money again and give it to Mother.”

Knowing that his wife only likes to count money and didn’t have any intention to keep the money for herself, Lu Cheng nodded and said, “Okay, just do as you wish.”

Lu Cheng looked at his wife and smiled. Although she was not as plump as the other women, she had a voluptuous figure that suited his liking despite being slender. She also looks pretty and looks younger than her actual age. Even with a daughter, many men still have their eyes on her. If it weren’t for her poisonous mouth, perhaps, she would be able to marry the cityfolk. Fortunately, she has a powerful mouth, which works in his favor!

Wang Muxiao counted the money slowly, and then went to find Mother Lu. When she entered the living room, Lu Jueyu had just come out of the kitchen with steamed cakes. Seeing her red eyes, Lu Jueyu froze for a moment, and asked, “Second sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Why did you cry?”

It was embarrassing for Wang Muxiao to be caught crying. While she likes to argue with her husband, it’s just the two of them behind the closed door. In front of others, she would of course save her husband a lot of face. After all, if she doesn’t even give face to him as a wife, how can he go out and win the respect of others?
