Chapter 29

After a while, they sent a contract to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning signed the contract and quickly received 10 million Star Coins.

Seeing the suddenly increased account balance, Chu Ning realized for the first time that earning money can be so easy.

“Ahem -” Chu Ning cleared her throat to bring herself back to her senses.

She then operated the account and transferred 5 million Star Coins to Qin Zheng.

“Now that we have the money, I’ll pay you back first.” Chu Ning said to Qin Zheng.

Gu Ming glanced at Qin Zheng, his eyes filled with a hint of amusement.

It seems his wife is not that close to Zheng Ge.

A flash of disappointment crossed Qin Zheng’s eyes, he simply responded “Okay” and took the money.

“Oh right, the military and the Gu Clan bought the pill formulas, do you two have any other similar Grade 2 pill formulas?” Chu Ning suddenly remembered and asked the two.

“We do.” Gu Ming answered first.

“But those pill formulas are only provided to alchemists who have signed long-term or lifetime contracts with the Gu Clan.”

Chu Ning furrowed her brows.

“The military’s regulations are similar. But as my family member, you can access the pill formulas.” Qin Zheng added.

Seeing this, Gu Ming immediately spoke up.

“The Gu Clan can also provide the pill formulas to you for free.” Since he has already married his wife, she is considered a half-member of the Gu Clan, so using their own resources is naturally no problem.

Chu Ning looked at Gu Ming, her previous guesses becoming more certain.

After hesitating for a moment, she brought up her spiritual computer.

As soon as she operated it for a while, Gu Ming’s spiritual bracelet received a message notification.

Chu Ning and Qin Zheng both looked at Gu Ming.

Gu Ming’s expression became awkward, and under their gaze, he opened his own spiritual computer.

Then he indeed saw the message Chu Ning had sent him.

Gu Ming’s face tightened.

“Wife, I – ” His identity was exposed, and the person could no longer keep up the pretense.

“‘Wife’? Shouldn’t you be calling me ‘sister-in-law’?” Chu Ning teased Gu Ming.

Interesting, Qin Zheng’s friend is also one of her beast husbands.

Earlier she felt the name “Gu Ming” sounded familiar, but she didn’t expect this person to be the same Gu Ming who had resisted marrying her.

“Haha, I was just joking with you earlier, wife, can you not be so antagonistic towards me?” Gu Ming nervously looked at Chu Ning.

Then he also cast a pleading look at Qin Zheng.

Earlier he had indeed resisted marrying his wife, but now his thoughts have completely changed. He has already accepted her as his wife, and there is no way he would divorce her.

Qin Zheng suppressed a laugh.

This is a perfect example of what it means to “dig one’s own grave.”

“Ahem, wife, Gu Ming didn’t have any malicious intentions. Since the Gu Clan can provide the pill formulas, can you forgive him this time?” Though amused, Qin Zheng still pleaded for Gu Ming.

Chu Ning looked at Qin Zheng.

“Alright, since you’re pleading for him.” She said graciously.

Gu Ming heaved a sigh of relief, at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of Qin Zheng.

His wife seems to care about Zheng Ge a lot.

Chu Ning looked at Gu Ming.

“I’m the type of person who likes to be straightforward, so don’t hide things from me in the future.”

“When I participated in the brain-computer marriage, I was also forced. If you’re not satisfied with marrying me, I can cooperate with you to get a divorce.”

“Also, I won’t use the Gu Clan’s pill formulas for free, I’ll pay for them.”

She doesn’t like to force people.

Especially in matters of marriage, it should be mutual feelings, and it’s not good to force it.

Hearing these words, Gu Ming’s face even turned pale.

“Wife, I didn’t mean that! I –“

“It was my foolishness before, I was presumptuous and said those awful things! I just didn’t want you to be upset, so I didn’t reveal my identity!”

“I — I only have you in my heart now, please don’t divorce me or give up on me, wife!”
