70: Chapter 70 uses this to test the cadres.

Looking at the blue virtual interface appearing before his eyes, Li Luo nodded with satisfaction.

All in all, it was still thanks to An Yaxuan's cashback that night being so effective.

He still remembered that while he was dazed, the system notified him that nine million had been credited to his account.

It wasn't until he woke up in the morning and saw the text message notification that he realized it wasn't a dream.

Plus, he had spent about 120,000 over the past few days, although the bulk of it went to Xu Wei's younger brother, Dr. Wang, and the hotel stay.

There wasn't really anything else.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt his body being shaken.

Li Luo finally snapped back to reality and looked at the Girl in front of him, who wore a puzzled expression.

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then spoke up, "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing her man speak, Xu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. She shook his arm and asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong with you? I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond."

Li Luo thought something had happened and explained with a smile, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something, don't worry."

Xu Wei looked at him with suspicious eyes. "Really? I called you at least four or five times, and you didn't pay any attention to me."

"Oh, I forgot. It's not that I didn't respond; I actually nodded at you earlier." "That's what I'm saying." As Li Luo said this, he immediately changed the subject. "I was mainly thinking about hiring a caregiver after your mother's surgery."

Sure enough, hearing Li Luo mention her mother, Xu Wei stopped dwelling on the previous matter. She hurriedly asked, "Honey, what do you mean? Is there a problem with hiring a caregiver?"

"No problem at all. I was just wondering whether to hire two or three."

Hearing this, Xu Wei was speechless. "Honey, are you trying to open a nursing home? Why do you need so many caregivers? One is enough."

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Just then, the Waiter pushed a food cart over. "Excuse me, sir and madam, I'm here to serve your meal." "Alright."

After the dishes were served, Li Luo said thank you to the Waiter. The Waiter smiled and responded, "You're welcome. I won't disturb you two any further. Enjoy your meal."

After the Waiter pushed the cart away, Xu Wei said proudly, "Honey, try it. Doesn't it taste different from the Western food you've had before?"

After saying this, she realized she had missed something and quickly added, "Honey, I only mean similarly priced Western food; the high-end ones don't count."

She assumed that since her man was so rich, he must have been to many high-end restaurants. Of course, only Li Luo knew the truth: since he got the system, he had basically been busy making money. How could he have had so much time to enjoy himself!

Gently forking a piece of beef into his mouth, Li Luo chewed a few times. The aroma of the beef, wrapped in rich juices, instantly flooded his entire mouth. Li Luo had to admit that it really tasted excellent.

Xu Wei looked at her man and asked with some anticipation, "Honey, how's the taste?" Li Luo nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, it's really delicious."

Xu Wei replied with some pride, "How about that? I was right, wasn't I!"

"Yeah, not bad. Eat up. After we're done, we'll go stroll through the night market, but don't eat too much. We still need to go out and try other delicacies later."

"Honey, you're underestimating me. I have a huge appetite."

By the time the two finished their meal, the time had reached 8:20.

"Honey, are you ready yet? Hurry up. If you don't come out, I'm leaving."

"Alright, alright. All you do is nag, nag, nag. Look what you did to my clothes."

Seeing the very conspicuous grease stain on the chest of his white shirt, Xu Wei hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes, her face full of embarrassment.

Recalling when the two were eating and chatting earlier, they had reached an exciting part of the conversation. In her excitement, she had spewed out a mouthful of beef and juice. Seeing her man preparing to put the beef into his mouth, she recalled his stunned expression at that moment. Immediately after, the fork and beef fell from his mouth. She couldn't help but want to laugh, but fearing he might hit her, she forcibly held it back.

Li Luo saw her head lowered and silent, and teased her, "What? Is this your attitude toward admitting your mistake?"

Hearing this, Xu Wei suddenly raised her head and said righteously, "Honey, even if we put the facts aside, aren't you at least a little bit wrong?"

Once these words were out, Li Luo was completely stunned. After coming to his senses, he asked, "Explain clearly what I did wrong."

"If you had dodged in time just now, how could it have gotten on your clothes?"

This sounded like there was absolutely nothing wrong with her logic. Li Luo pointed at her, speechless.

Looking at the man who was already somewhat exasperated, Xu Wei knew she couldn't keep playing; if she pushed it too far, it would be trouble. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly said shyly, "Honey, I'll add five minutes for you, okay? I was just joking with you. Don't be angry with Weiwei, alright?"

Li Luo was stunned. "What? Are you trying to bribe me?"

"Using this to test a cadre."

"Which cadre could withstand such a test?"

Watching her husband suddenly start acting, Xu Wei had a headache. She knew exactly what kind of scheme he was plotting in his heart at this moment.

After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Honey, Weiwei was really wrong. Adding it to thirty minutes is enough, right?!"

"Deal. Throw this shirt away. Didn't you buy new clothes over there? I'll just change into one of those."

Watching the man change his face so quickly, Xu Wei silently complained in her heart: Scumbag man.

"Are you cursing me in your heart?" Xu Wei was startled. "No, how could I?" She quickly changed the subject and said, "Honey, I see the clothes you're wearing are new too! Let's put them in a separate bag, and when we get back to the hotel, we can just have Butler Wang take them to be dry-cleaned."

"Alright!" The clothes Li Luo was wearing were bought at Armani a few days ago, and he really hadn't worn them for long.

After Li Luo changed his clothes, the two left the mall. "Honey, let's go drop these things off first. It's not convenient to stroll through the night market with all these big and small bags!"

"No need for that much trouble. I'll just call Butler Wang and have him take them back."

After saying this, Li Luo took out his phone, dialed Butler Wang's number, and told her their specific location. After waiting about seven minutes, Butler Wang arrived in an Audi A8.

After Butler Wang put the shopping bags into the car, she turned back and asked politely, "Mr. Li, Ms. Xu, I'll be leaving now. If you get tired later, feel free to contact me, and I'll come pick you up immediately."

Li Luo said directly, "No need. We'll just head back after we're done strolling."

"In that case, Mr. Li, Ms. Xu, I'll head back now." After saying this, Butler Wang said to him again, "Mr. Li, please contact me after you return, and I'll help you take the shopping bags back to your room."

After Butler Wang left, Li Luo followed Xu Wei toward the night market.
