29: Chapter 29 Gu Yuqing's Shock

Watching Li Luo bustling about, Xu Wei was very touched.

After all, in her eyes, the two of them were just in a transaction.

Li Luo treating her this way made her feel as if they were truly dating.

It seems that giving herself to him last night was not a loss.

Although it was a transaction between the two, Xu Wei had still felt somewhat repulsed deep down before.

Once Li Luo finished and took a cold shower, Xu Wei took a towel and gently wiped his body.

Li Luo glanced at her, then turned and pulled her into an embrace, kissing her.

After a long while... "So fragrant."

Xu Wei said, blushing shyly.

"Bullying me right from the early morning."

Li Luo laughed heartily, gently stroking her hair and smelling the fresh fragrance from her locks.

Xu Wei leaned into his embrace and said softly.

"Hubby, you're so good to me; what will I do if I can't live without you in the future?"

Li Luo smiled upon hearing this.

"That's a good thing! I forgot to ask just now—you didn't use cold water to wash up this morning, did you? That won't do! I'll call them later to come and turn on the natural gas, and then you'll have hot water."

"No, didn't we buy a kettle yesterday? I boiled water to wash with."

Xu Wei didn't tell Li Luo that she had specifically gone to buy a bottle of Fuyanjie that morning, having heard that washing with it was healthier.

"That's good. Call them to come over and turn it on later. I'll transfer another five thousand to you in a bit for you to use for the next few days. When you go back to your hometown in a few days, I'll give you a surprise."

"Hubby, isn't your money tied up? You should keep that five thousand for yourself! I still have some money on hand."

Hearing Li Luo say he would give her a surprise in a few days, Xu Wei was quite looking forward to it.

"Keep your money to help your mom out in an emergency. Besides, I'm not short of those few thousand."

"Alright then. I'll call someone to come and turn on the natural gas later."

"That's a good girl! You should rest well at home for the next few days. If you're bored, go out for a walk."

"Besides, isn't Gu Yuqing on break these few days? You can go hang out with her! I won't be coming over these next few nights; I have some things to take care of. Once I've handled them, I'll accompany you back to visit your mother."

"Okay, Hubby." Hearing Li Luo's nagging, which was full of concern, Xu Wei felt especially happy.

"Alright, I'm heading out." Li Luo opened the door, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button.

"Hubby."

"Yes?" Li Luo had just turned his head when he saw Xu Wei pouncing on him.

Li Luo quickly turned around, opened his arms, and pulled her into an embrace.

Li Luo lowered his head and smelled the faint fragrance wafting from her body.

He whispered in her ear.

"What's wrong? Can't bear to see me go?"

"Yeah, I can't."

Xu Wei lifted her head from Li Luo's embrace and kissed him on the lips.

A long while later, Xu Wei was panting slightly. Once she calmed down, she pulled away from Li Luo's embrace.

She said softly to him.

"Hubby, I'll wait for you to come back home."

Upon hearing this, Li Luo's heart softened, and he hugged her again.

After holding her for a few minutes, when Xu Wei pulled away from Li Luo's embrace, her face was already flushed red.

She said coquettishly.

"What are your hands doing!"

Hearing this, Li Luo sniffed his fingers, saying, "Natural reaction, just a natural reaction."

Seeing Li Luo actually sniff his fingers, Xu Wei was even more mortified.

She hurriedly ran back into the house, but her voice drifted out through the door that hadn't been closed properly.

"Hubby, drive slowly on the road, and come back early."

Li Luo replied loudly.

"Got it."

Arriving at the entrance of the residential complex, he grabbed a quick bite.

Li Luo called up the system to check his positive reviews; including yesterday's, he currently had fifty-six, with forty-four left to go. He aimed to finish within three days.

A car and a house were already within reach.

Once he was done, he would go see Pan Xingyue. Li Luo planned to resolve the little game from last time as soon as possible to avoid any complications.

He couldn't let the duck that was already in his mouth fly away so easily.

Xu Wei returned to the house and boiled another pot of water.

After washing up, she changed into fresh underwear.

Picking up the underwear she had just taken off, her face was still flushed with shyness.

That big pervert, Li Luo.

After washing the dirty underwear, she took it to the balcony to hang it up.

Bzz, bzz, bzz...

Xu Wei picked it up and saw it was a call from her Best Friend, Gu Yuqing.

She quickly answered, "Gu Yuqing, what's up?"

"What are you doing? It took you so long to answer."

"I was just doing laundry, what's wrong?"

"Come over to my place for lunch. I bought crayfish, and we two sisters can have a drink. Thinking about it, it's been a while since we've had a proper get-together."

"Sure, I'll come over as soon as I'm done."

"Then hurry up. I'll start washing the vegetables and scrubbing the crayfish first. This stuff is delicious, but it's such a hassle to clean."

"Alright, you go ahead and wash the vegetables! I'll be over shortly, and we can scrub the crayfish together. I'm all done on my end."

"Alright then, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, I'm hanging up now, bye."

"Bye."

Xu Wei put down her phone, grabbed a random dress from the closet, put it on, and left.

Eight minutes later.

She arrived at Gu Yuqing's door.

Knock, knock, knock...

"Coming, coming."

Xu Wei looked at her Best Friend who opened the door; the apron she was wearing had two rabbit ears on it, making her look adorably dorky.

"I couldn't tell! My Gu Yuqing is not only beautiful, but even buys such a kawaii-style apron!"

"You brat, are you making fun of me? Hurry up and come in. I've prepared an apron for you to put on, otherwise, your clothes will get all fishy."

After Xu Wei put on the apron, she saw its style had a pair of cat ears, which was also very cute.

The two went into the kitchen, picked up brushes, and started scrubbing the crayfish.

Gu Yuqing thought for a moment, adjusted her tone, and looked at her Best Friend.

"Weiwei, I still have about one hundred thousand here; it's what I've saved up working over the years. Take it and use it first! We can think of other ways; there will always be a solution."

Gu Yuqing simply couldn't bear to see her Best Friend being ruined by a man eighteen years her senior.

Hearing these words from Gu Yuqing, Xu Wei felt very lucky to have made such a good sister back in college.

In this day and age, a friend who can truly take the initiative to lend you money—that is truly a bond stronger than gold.

Xu Wei said, very touched.

"No need, Gu Yuqing. I've already found a solution. I don't need to be with that old man anymore, so don't worry!"

"Ah!"

Gu Yuqing, who had just been wanting to persuade her Best Friend, was stunned upon hearing this.

She was very surprised. It's solved?

There was no way yesterday, but it was solved after just one night!

She hurriedly asked.

"How did you solve it? You absolutely must not do anything stupid!"

Xu Wei looked at her agitated Best Friend.

"What are you thinking? What stupid thing could I possibly do? I haven't lived enough yet!"

"Then tell me how you solved it."

Xu Wei hadn't intended to hide it from her Best Friend anyway, especially since her Best Friend had just planned to lend her one hundred thousand.

There was no need to hide anything from such a Best Friend; after all, she would know about this sooner or later.

What difference did it make whether she said it sooner or later?

"I'm with Li Luo now. He has already agreed to help me, and he has already transferred thirty-five thousand to me. As for the remaining money, he said he would send it to me in two or three days."

"What did you say?"

Gu Yuqing exclaimed.

"Hey, talk all you want, but what's with spraying spit all over my face?"
