Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 717

Chapter 717: Are You Worried About Me?
“I will meet you by the river later. I have to go back and prepare lunch for my family first,” Liu Fuyan said.

“Okay then,” Dong Li nodded.

After a brief conversation, Liu Fuyan turned around and returned to her home. Chen Jianmin looked at her back thoughtfully and said, “Dong Li, you seem to be very close to her.”

Without waiting for Dong Li to answer, Li Jingqian said, “She is my deskmate, and I invited her to go fishing together today.”

Dong Li glanced at his cousin and said, “It’s time for us to go back.”

When the children came back from school talking and laughing, Lu Jueyu was cutting the grass jelly into cubes and putting them into an earthen jar. Then she added red beans, and chopped fruit, poured the soy milk into the jar, and finally added ice cubes to cool it down.

After stirring for a while, she put the lid on. Then she took out a jar of melted brown sugar and a jar of roasted soybean powder.

She had just finished preparing dessert when she heard the voices of children coming from the front yard. At this time, her husband was taking a nap in the bedroom since he planned to go to the mountains with Lu Han and Chen Anwen later.

She wiped her hands with a towel and went out. Seeing the children returning with their cousins and Chen Jianmin, Lu Jueyu asked, “Xiao Li, Xiao Huang, are you planning to go fishing today?”

Seeing her foster mother, Dong Huang walked over and hugged her leg, “Mother, I’m back! My brother and my cousins plan to go fishing today. I want to catch a big fish for Ah Lin later.”

Lu Jueyu bent down and kissed her foster daughter, “Then you go and wash your face and hands first. Mother will wake up your Father, and we will have lunch first.”

“Foster mother, I’m back. We will go to the river after we finish our homework.” Dong Li said.

“Third Aunt, we are here to mooch off your food,” Li Jingqian said with a smile.

Lu Jueyu was amused by his words and said, “Okay, you can eat as much as you want.”

“Hello, Aunt Li. I’m sorry for coming uninvited,” Chen Jianmin said.

Looking at his still-swollen face, Lu Jueyu said, “Jianmin, you don’t have to be so polite to us. You can come over whenever you want.”

Hearing this, Chen Jianmin nodded and said, “Thank you, Aunt Li.”

While the children washed their hands and face in the backyard, Lu Jueyu went to the bedroom to wake up her husband. When she opened the door, she was taken aback because her husband was changing clothes.

She stood motionless at the door, staring at her husband’s sexy back muscles. As he put on his clothes, her eyes followed the fabric from his broad shoulders to his waist.

‘My husband truly has a great body,’ Lu Jueyu thought about it and felt the temperature suddenly rise.

Aware that his wife was observing him, Li Chenmo slowed down his movements. He even showed off his muscles while getting dressed. Hearing the sound of his wife swallowing saliva, the corners of his lips curved.

‘My little wife is too cute,’ he thought amusedly.

He controlled his smile, turned around, and looked at his wife while asking nonchalantly, “Wife, why didn’t you come in?”

Lu Jueyu was pulled out of her ‘yellow’ thoughts by her husband’s words. She lowered her head to hide her embarrassment for being caught, coughed, and said, “Husband, the children are back. I’m here to call you for lunch.”

Li Chenmo walked to her, leaned down, kissed his wife, and said with a smile, “Mhmm, let’s go.”

For today’s lunch, Lu Jueyu made steamed rice with pandan leaves, braised pork belly and offal, hot and sour seafood soup, Mapo tofu, stir-fried vegetables, and vegetable salad.

When the food was served, Chen Jianmin was surprised. He couldn’t help but swallow as he smelled the aroma of food in the air.

After everyone sat down, Lu Jueyu scooped up a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice for her husband and then gave a bowl of rice to the children.

Looking at the white and fragrant rice in front of him, a trace of envy flashed in Chen Jianmin’s eyes. He had never felt that his life and his family’s life were miserable. But when he saw that Dong Li and Dong Huang were living so well, he felt that he needed to work harder.

‘One day, I will definitely let my parents, brother, and sister eat as much rice and meat as they want,’ he thought.

Noticing his silence, Dong Li could guess what he was thinking. He scooped a bowl of hot and sour seafood soup and placed it in front of him as he said, “Eat and don’t think too much. Otherwise, you will be bald before the age of 30.”

After hearing his words, Chen Jianmin came back to his senses. He smiled and said to him, “Are you worried about me?”

Dong Li rolled his eyes at him and said, “You really like to think too much.”

Lu Jueyu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Chen Jianmin’s bowl, “Jianmin, eat more.”

Chen Jianmin was surprised by her warm gesture, and he replied awkwardly, “Thank you, Aunt Li.”

While Li Chenmo was eating, he observed the interaction between his adopted children and Chen Jianmin.

After a while, he was convinced that Chen Jianmin had no ill intentions towards them. Although he had some ulterior motives in becoming friends with Dong Huang and Dong Li, they were just for some food at most.

While eating, Chen Jianmin was surprised to see so much seafood in the soup. It contains not only shrimps, scallops, squid, and eggs, but also bamboo shoots, soft tofu, ear mushrooms, and other mushrooms. He even tasted sesame oil.
