"Hubby, what are you looking at me for?"
"Hey, it's okay. That news just now...is about what happened last night, right?"
"Well, I'm sorry, husband. You clearly warned me, but I still..."
"It's okay. I should have apologized to you just now. All this was caused by my loss of calmness in the club. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been called to the police station for questioning for so long, and the taxi driver also got the punishment he deserved."
"Hubby, the club said they'd give us a few days off. I think we should stay home and take care of ourselves. Hubby still needs to adapt to the work at the club. After all, both the magic power and the family's money need that job. Fei'er and I will try our best to control the degree. Hubby, you also have to be more patient, for us and for the baby in Fei'er's belly."
Xiao Yaruo persuaded Chen Fang like this, making him nod frequently. This time she had caused a big mess, making Chen Fang feel three points shorter when speaking to his wives. He no longer dared to show his original attitude of opposing Liu Feifei and Xiao Yaruo going to work in the club, and could only obediently listen to the arrangements of his wives.
In the following two days, the three of them stayed at home almost without leaving the house. The sudden death of the taxi driver reported in the news also sparked a lot of discussion. Some said that the taxi driver had a heavy workload, while others said that it was obvious that the taxi driver and his lover were having a tryst in the wild, which led to his sudden death. There were even more discussions on the Internet. Some people compared it with the "sudden death" case of Zhou Jingping in his mansion two months ago, and thought that the two were very similar. However, someone soon corrected that Zhou Jingping was not dead, but had become a vegetable and was lying in the hospital. Some people also compared this incident with the sudden death of an unemployed vagrant named Li Chengfeng in a solitary house to be demolished not long ago. In short, this incident quickly formed a large discussion boom in the local area, and many urban legends emerged all of a sudden.
On the third day, Li Yannian called Xiao Yaruo and told her that Feng Qiu would not file a lawsuit, and that everything had been resolved. He asked her to come to the club with Liu Feifei to work tomorrow. Xiao Yaruo then only told Chen Fang and Liu Feifei that Li Yannian asked them to go to work tomorrow, but did not say that Feng Qiu could not file a lawsuit.
Considering that they had to go to work soon and buy a lot of things for the house, Liu Feifei and Xiao Yaruo went to the supermarket to buy things in the afternoon. Chen Fang wanted to go with them but was rejected by Liu Feifei, saying that he had been using the magic energy they had stored in the past three days, and his physical condition was not very good. If he ran around and damaged his body, it would be bad. So they could go to the supermarket together. Chen Fang insisted, but it was useless. In the end, he could only watch his two wives go out together, while he could only wait at home like a waste.
This time I went out to buy a lot of daily necessities, even rice, cooking oil and so on, and almost spent most of the remaining money at home. It seems that I really have to grit my teeth and continue working at the club. If I don't get a job at the beginning of next month, my family of three will really have to starve.
They bought too many things, and it was very troublesome to move them back. Liu Feifei was still panting up the stairs while carrying a 20-jin bag of rice. Xiao Yaruo was not much better. She now lived on the sixth floor and had to carry more than 20 jin of miscellaneous things. For a girl, it was really a big challenge to carry all these things to such a high floor. Moreover, the two of them took care of Chen Fang's health and did not let him come down to pick them up. Because Chen Fang's body would rot if his magic energy was not sufficient, if he exerted too much force at this time, it would cause muscle fiber tearing, and in the worst case, it might even break. When magic energy is sufficient, the rotten parts can be restored, but direct breaks, fractures, or even broken joints like this cannot be restored. Therefore, the two beauties never let Chen Fang do heavy work at home.
They had already moved to the fifth floor, but they felt that they could no longer move. Liu Feifei felt as if her whole body was about to collapse. Just when her snow-white hands were about to fall, a gentle and strong arm suddenly supported her soft body. Liu Feifei turned her head and saw that it was a tall and handsome young man who reached out to help her. Seeing Liu Feifei's delicate face, the other man was also slightly startled, and then showed a mouthful of white teeth:
"Are you okay? It's too hard for you two girls to carry such heavy things up the stairs. You almost fell just now."
The young man smiled and stretched out his two strong arms, taking the things in Liu Feifei and Xiao Yaruo's hands in one hand each. His biceps showed sexy muscle contours, which made the two beauties' hearts beat fast. No matter what, women are always the most sensitive to muscular guys, just like men like beauties with curvy figure. This is a reaction imprinted in their genes.
"It's okay, thank you... My husband is sick today, so we came out..."
"Ah, that's how it is."
Seeing this beautiful woman with long black hair saying that she already had a husband, the young man had a look of disappointment in his eyes, but then he smiled and asked:
"Which floor are you on?"
"We are on the sixth floor. You look unfamiliar. Are you new here?"
"Well, I rent an apartment on the fifth floor. I'm new here. Hello."
It turns out that the young man's name is Lin Chengzhang. He came from another place to work and rented the house last week. In fact, they moved to this building after the incident with Chen Fang, Liu Feifei and Fatty Chen, and did not arrive here much earlier than Lin Chengzhang.
They went up to the sixth floor chatting and laughing with Liu Feifei and Xiao Yaruo. Lin Chengzhang helped them carry the things to the kitchen and put them away. Chen Fang came out and took a look without saying anything. Lin Chengzhang said hello and left.
"Where did you know this person?"
"The neighbor downstairs is a nice person. He took the initiative to help us deliver things."
"You are so beautiful, any man will help you, okay?"
"What do you mean, husband?"
Hearing Chen Fang say this, Liu Feifei's smiling face gradually froze, and her beautiful big eyes stared at Chen Fang with a slightly dissatisfied look and questioned him. Being questioned by his wife like this, Chen Fang immediately shrank half a head and stammered, unable to speak. Liu Feifei became even angrier when she saw this, and snorted and said:
"Why not invite him to our house for dinner and thank him for his kindness? After all, he has helped us so much."
"Hey, do you really want to do this?"
"Yeah, shouldn't we express our gratitude to others?"
Liu Feifei deliberately put on a coquettish face and said this to Chen Fang. In fact, Xiao Yaruo also knew that this was Liu Feifei's angry words. After all, Liu Feifei's personality was like this. The more she was not allowed to do something, the more she wanted to do it. Although Lin Chengzhang was a strong and good-looking young man, Liu Feifei and herself only thanked him for his help. Chen Fang's excessive concern instead aroused the rebellious psychology in Liu Feifei's heart.
"But it doesn't have to go to this extent just to help move some things, right?"
"Anyway, we should thank them."
Seeing Chen Fang's flustered expression, Liu Feifei unexpectedly felt a sense of pleasure from a successful prank. She just liked to see Chen Fang getting jealous because of her, so that she could show how much her husband loved her. On the other side, Xiao Yaruo wanted to persuade Liu Feifei and Chen Fang to stop being so awkward, but Chen Fang gritted his teeth and said:
"That's fine. Since they've helped, you should just ask for their help."
"You guys are really... I don't know what to say."
Xiao Yaruo rolled her beautiful big eyes in anger. She couldn't understand what the two people were thinking. In the end, she could only give up and see what tricks they could come up with to vent their anger.
"Okay, since my husband agrees, I'll go and invite him. It's on the fifth floor, right? I'll have him come for dinner tonight, and I'll cook for him myself."
"Can you cook?"
"Hmph, just watch. There must be people who like the food I cook."
Hearing Chen Fang's slightly sarcastic voice, Liu Feifei became even more angry, her beautiful narrow eyes were filled with resentment, and she went straight out and went downstairs to invite people. Xiao Yaruo watched the two people bickering like elementary school students and really didn't know what to say. Although Liu Feifei's quarrel with Chen Fang was beneficial to her competition for favor, this ridiculous situation did not give Xiao Yaruo any sense of accomplishment even if she won.
After a while, Liu Feifei came back and told Chen Fang that she had invited Lin Chengzhang as if to show off. Chen Fang was so angry that he simply went back to the room to watch TV. Xiao Yaruo thought this was not good and persuaded Liu Feifei not to do this. Who knew that Liu Feifei whispered:
"This Lin Chengzhang has a lot of magic power. I just checked it again. I think if we ask him to come here, he can unconsciously extract some magic power in front of my husband. Then we don't have to do a lot of excessive things in the club. Besides, we haven't replenished our magic power for three days. My husband's body needs it."
"Anyway, those men in the club would have come up to me anyway..."
"At least we don't have to be as submissive as we were on the first day. My husband was probably angry because we were too exciting on the first day. If I had magic power, I would have been a little more reserved in the club, and my husband wouldn't have fought with Feng Qiu."
Hearing Liu Feifei's words, Xiao Yaruo didn't comment and had to follow Liu Feifei to prepare the meal. But to be honest, the two of them were not very good at cooking. It took more than two hours to make scrambled eggs, winter melon soup, fried lotus root slices, and fish-flavored pork shreds. After that, Liu Feifei happily went downstairs to find Lin Chengzhang, and soon dragged him over, and then called Chen Fang to come out to eat together.
When Chen Fang saw that Liu Feifei really called over the young man who had helped to move things, he was very unhappy and his face was long, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit down. Liu Feifei and Xiao Yaruo sat opposite the young man.
"You're really too polite, it's just a small favor."
"Since you helped us, we should express our gratitude. We should still be good neighbors and help each other more, right?"
Liu Feifei blinked her long and beautiful eyes, and her smile revealed her pearly teeth, which made Lin Chengzhang a little dazed. To be honest, when Lin Chengzhang saw such a beautiful girl in such a cheap community in the corridor, his mind went blank at that moment, and the feeling of love kept coming up in his mind. Unfortunately, he was disappointed to know that Liu Feifei and Xiao Yaruo both had boyfriends later. As a result, when they arrived here, they found out that the boyfriend of the two girls was the same person, and they were actually living together as a group of three. While he sighed that Cheng knew how to have fun, he was also envious of the man sitting at the head of the table.
"Yes, I heard that Brother Chen is not in good health. If there is any heavy work at home in the future, please call me. I usually stay at home except when I go to work. I am always available."
"Thank you so much, Chengzhang.
