Chapter 39: You’re Not Having Issues in Certain Areas, Are You?

Jiang Yubing, who was still fuming, heard Shen Qingxuan’s random comment and her face went red as she nearly burst out laughing.

How could he be so adorable?

What went on in that little head of his every day?

She really wanted to pat his head.

What should she do!

Jiang Yubing’s hand twitched subconsciously.

Shen Qingxuan saw her face flushed red and thought she might be feeling unwell.

He forgot about his sore waist and asked with concern, “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

Jiang Yubing took a deep breath.

She went over all the heartbreak of her life in her head before she finally calmed down again.

But she still pretended to be angry and said, “My mood is uncomfortable.”

Shen Qingxuan looked utterly confused.

“Huh? Is that a brand new illness?”

Jiang Yubing gave a dry, forced smile and changed the subject, “Enough, explain yourself.”

“Explain what?”

Shen Qingxuan scratched his head, completely baffled.

Jiang Yubing put her hands on her hips, raised her voice and pressed, “Who is your little wife?”

Only then did Shen Qingxuan finally realize what she meant.

He let out a helpless sigh in his heart.

So it was about this all along!

Seriously, Why didn’t she clarify things before pouncing on him?

His back still hurt now!

“Them…”

Shen Qingxuan had only just uttered two words before Jiang Yubing cut him off.

“Oh? So there’s more than one!” Jiang Yubing raised her eyebrows.

Shen Qingxuan coughed awkwardly twice.

“Can’t you let me finish speaking?”

Jiang Yubing’s hands clenched behind her back as she ground her teeth and said, “I want to see just how much you can weasel your way out of this!”

Shen Qingxuan quickly explained, “They can be Yu Ji, or even Xiao Qiao…”

“What do you mean?”

Jiang Yubing looked totally lost.

She had only played that mobile game twice before.

Now she just recognized Yao, Han Xin, and that salted egg.

Shen Qingxuan smacked his own forehead.

Only then did he remember she was still a newbie.

He immediately clarified, “I mean, I’m buying skins for the female characters in Arena of Valor.”

That was it?

Jiang Yubing’s eyes went wide.

She had already prepared herself—if Shen Qingxuan couldn’t give her a convincing explanation, his poor waist was not going to survive.

So it was just this?

Why didn’t he just say so sooner?

If he’d explained earlier, she wouldn’t have pinched him!

Jiang Yubing hurriedly asked, “Does it still hurt?”

If she hadn’t asked, things would have been fine.

Once she did, Shen Qingxuan immediately flopped down dramatically by the roadside, Rubbing his back in an exaggerated way, Grimacing as if he had suffered a grave injury.

Shen Qingxuan pouted, “What do you think!”

Jiang Yubing eyed him suspiciously, scanning him up and down.

“It still hurts after so long? Don’t tell me you’re having some kind of issues… down there?”

As she spoke, a look of disdain flashed through her eyes.

As soon as Shen Qingxuan heard that, he got anxious on the spot.

Hey, hey, hey!

What was with that look of contempt?

Who was useless?

He’d had enough!

He protested loudly, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m fine!”

Jiang Yubing looked at him mischievously, A wicked grin curling her lips, “Oh? Then why are you still sitting around? Don’t tell me you’re just putting on a brave face.”

Shen Qingxuan got so riled up he sprang to his feet.

“Fine, let’s go.”

With that, He stomped off ahead, fuming.

Jiang Yubing looked at his back, her smile blooming like a flower.

As expected of young people, they recovered fast.

Her old man was just too cute!

She quickly caught up and walked side by side with Shen Qingxuan.

Jiang Yubing’s eyes spun playfully and she asked with a sly grin, “If you’ve already handled your little wife, what about your main wife?”

“What main wife?”

Shen Qingxuan looked completely confused.

When did he ever have a main wife?

Wait…

Shen Qingxuan suddenly realized.

Could Jiang Yubing be referring to herself?

Jiang Yubing blinked. “We got our marriage certificate, didn’t we?

How can you pretend not to know?”

So he guessed right.

He’d hit the mark.

But weren’t they in a fake marriage?

Why would Jiang Yubing say such a thing?

Suddenly!

An extremely unreasonable idea popped into Shen Qingxuan’s head.

A moment later, Shen Qingxuan shook his head again.

There was no way!

She was a rich young miss.

But, Why did she suddenly bring this up?

Shen Qingxuan looked at Jiang Yubing suspiciously

And found that she was gazing at him with a sly grin.

Jiang Yubing raised her eyebrows deliberately and said, “What do you think!”

Crap!

Shen Qingxuan complained in his heart.

She really wanted to lay claim to his money.

“You… How can you bully an honest man like this?”

He put on a long face, spreading his hands.

He’d worked so hard just to earn a bit of cash, and before it even had time to warm up in his pocket, Jiang Yubing wanted to take it back again.

Life was just too harsh.

Jiang Yubing crossed her arms, looking righteous. “So what?”

Shen Qingxuan pleaded miserably, “Can’t we discuss it and maybe just take a few hundred back?”

“All right, I’ll stop teasing you.”

Jiang Yubing broke into a gentle smile, her eyes brimming with warmth.

She honestly just wanted to see if Shen Qingxuan was willing to spend money on her.

Even though he seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, The result was still pretty satisfying.

How could she possibly need that little bit of money?

When Shen Qingxuan heard this, he let out a long sigh of relief, Wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead with a raised hand—his little savings were safe.

Jiang Yubing had really changed a lot lately.

He was totally being led around by the nose.

Jiang Yubing had just taken a sip of milk tea, Then she handed it to Shen Qingxuan, Tilting her head, she said, “I can’t finish this, can you help me?”

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Yubing pouted and pretended to argue, “You’re not disgusted by me, are you?”

“Ha ha, how could that be!”

Shen Qingxuan quickly waved his hand, Took the half-finished milk tea, and finished it in a few gulps.

“Hic~”

He even let out a satisfied burp because of it.

……

……

The two of them strolled leisurely and passed by a shopping mall.

Jiang Yubing’s eyes lit up at once, She pointed to the mall, excitedly suggesting, “Let’s go inside and have a look.”

“Do we have to?”

Shen Qingxuan pulled a bitter face, his eyes full of misery.

He had seen online so often

That once girls started shopping, they simply couldn’t stop.

Especially someone like Jiang Yubing.

The kind of miss with so much money to burn.

“Nope.”

Jiang Yubing refused immediately, sounding absolutely decisive.

She also wanted to buy a few good outfits for her old man.

How could the male lead refuse her now?

But seeing Shen Qingxuan so dejected made it even more amusing for Jiang Yubing.

She reached out her hand before him and shook it, Smiling, she offered, “Want me to hold your hand?”

Shen Qingxuan looked at Jiang Yubing’s outstretched hand, For a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, But finally, he slowly placed his own hand into hers.

Jiang Yubing grabbed his hand instantly, Holding it tightly, And pulled him straight into the shopping mall.

Shen Qingxuan stumbled as she tugged him along, Helplessly following her pace.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Yubing’s eyes began sparkling with excitement, And she dragged Shen Qingxuan from store to store.

When they passed by a men’s clothing shop, her eyes lit up, She pulled Shen Qingxuan right inside.

“Boss!” Jiang Yubing called out.

Shen Qingxuan stood awkwardly to the side, scratching his head.

He always felt like whenever Jiang Yubing was with him, she became a different person.

Jiang Yubing shot him a glare.

Then she started browsing the racks for clothes.

Next moment she picked up a shirt and held it against Shen Qingxuan for comparison, And soon she was getting him to try on some trousers.

Shen Qingxuan reluctantly cooperated, trying on one outfit after another.

Every time he changed, Jiang Yubing sized him up with sparkling eyes

And kept commenting, “This one looks good, really suits your vibe.”

“No wonder he’s my husband, so handsome!”
