Chapter 104: Shen Family Fraud

More than an hour passed.

Shen Qingxuan shivered involuntarily.

In an instant, he felt refreshed all over.

His chest no longer felt stuffy, and his head no longer spun.

His spirits also soared.

Feeling especially cheerful, he lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.

A trace of a smile tugged at his lips as he said, “Wife, time to transfer the money.”

Jiang Yubing widened her beautiful eyes at Shen Qingxuan, but laughter hid within them as she half-jokingly said, “Oh? So you did it for money.”

Shen Qingxuan frowned slightly, met Jiang Yubing’s gaze, and declared righteously, “What kind of person do you take me for?”

Then he straightened his chest on purpose and said, “I am a well-read college student.”

Jiang Yubing’s lips curled slightly, and she showed a playful smile as she said, “College student? Then I won’t pay you.”

When he heard that Jiang Yubing wanted to freeload, Shen Qingxuan immediately became displeased, and his brows knitted even tighter.

“That is my hard-earned money, earned with my own skills.”

Unwilling to back down, Jiang Yubing retorted, “I am your wife. Isn’t this your duty?”

Yet Shen Qingxuan did not waver at all.

He stuck to his bottom line and said, “Business is business; we can’t mix things up.”

Jiang Yubing gave a soft laugh, lounged lazily in Shen Qingxuan’s arms, and casually placed his hand on her thigh.

“Husband, can I get a discount like this?”

Shen Qingxuan felt it for a moment.

Hmm…

The touch felt quite good.

However, he would not forget his original intention just because of a bit of softness.

Shen Qingxuan silently recited to himself, “Reject female temptation, starting with me, Shen…”

Ahem, ahem…

Forget it.

Still, he decided to start with Zhang Yunhao instead.

Fearing that Jiang Yubing might find another excuse, Shen Qingxuan urged, “Bingbing, hurry up. This is non-negotiable.”

After all, he had spent countless drops of life essence to earn that hard-won money.

Even if the other party was Bingbing, he absolutely could not let her renege.

Not a single cent could be missing.

“Fine, fine, fine… I’ll pay.”

Jiang Yubing broke into a gentle smile.

She had only been teasing the idiot husband; of course she would not really refuse.

As for whether Shen Qingxuan approached her for money, Jiang Yubing felt confident that it was absolutely not the case.

And even if it was, she was not afraid.

After all, Jiangbei Lu Group dabbled in many fields and enjoyed an endless flow of funds.

As long as he wanted something, she could handle it.

What truly worried Jiang Yubing was that he wanted nothing from her.

After the transfer, the two nestled against each other and lay quietly on the bed to rest.

A faint blush still lingered on Jiang Yubing’s face, adding extra shyness and beauty to her already lovely features.

When Shen Qingxuan saw her like that, his gaze was instantly drawn to the blush, and his eyes gradually softened.

He could not help extending his hand, gently cupping her face and letting his fingertips trace slowly across her cheek.

A moment later.

Shen Qingxuan immediately propped himself up and raised an eyebrow at the beloved girl in his arms, “Bingbing, do you dare fight another round?”

“Again?”

She froze at once, and weariness still flickered in her eyes.

Thinking of how she was tossed around just now, fear stirred in her heart.

Still, that also indirectly proved that her future life would be happy, at least on the spiritual level.

Watching Jiang Yubing avert her eyes, Shen Qingxuan could not resist teasing, “Didn’t you say you were really hungry just now?”

While in his arms, Jiang Yubing acted cute and said, “Husband, let me rest a little longer.”

She did all the work just now, and it completely wore her out!

Shen Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and deliberately asked, “What did you just call me?”

Jiang Yubing tilted her head in confusion and said, “Husband, isn’t that right?”

“Did you forget that you just called me Daddy?”

The air fell silent.

Jiang Yubing’s cheeks flushed scarlet at once.

When she recalled what had just happened, she felt a bit helpless.

She originally thought that if she did as told, the idiot husband would let her off.

She never expected him to become even more excited.

Jiang Yubing could not help cursing inwardly, “Shen Family fraud.”

Jiang Yubing extended a forefinger and poked Shen Qingxuan’s chest, complaining coyly, “You shameless…”

“Since you already called me shameless, then here I come.”

Shen Qingxuan grinned wickedly and lowered his head to kiss her.

…

The next day arrived.

A light drizzle fell from the sky.

Rainy days always gave people a lazy feeling, so they were best for sleeping.

As soon as Shen Qingxuan opened his eyes, he saw Jiang Yubing propping her chin and staring at him without blinking.

“Wife, good morning!”

Shen Qingxuan’s tone still carried a trace of drowsy laziness.

Jiang Yubing withdrew her gaze and said softly, “It is not early; it is already nine o’clock.”

Shen Qingxuan struggled to sit up, reached out, and picked up the phone on the nightstand to glance at it.

Sure enough, the screen clearly showed nine o’clock, just as she said.

Just as he intended to get out of bed to wash up, his foot slipped, and he nearly tumbled to the floor.

Seeing this, Jiang Yubing hurried down from the bed and helped him up.

“Husband, are you all right?”

“I am fine.”

Shen Qingxuan answered somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Yubing’s gaze swept over him from head to toe, and then a teasing smile curved her lips as she said, “Husband, are you drained?”

Shen Qingxuan’s face stiffened instantly.

It was indeed as Bingbing said.

He truly felt a bit weak.

But as a man, how could he possibly admit that?

Shen Qingxuan retorted, “Impossible.”

All because of his craving for money.

Thus, he fought through the entire night.

He lost at least a few billion proteins.

Yet he also gained plenty.

After repaying Bai Youwei’s thirty thousand, he still had forty thousand in pocket money left.

That outcome was not a loss.

To prove himself, Shen Qingxuan stood up in front of Jiang Yubing.

He pretended to be casual and walked toward the bathroom.

Feeling uneasy, Jiang Yubing asked, “Husband, do you need me to support you?”

Shen Qingxuan became displeased at once.

He thought that was no different from telling him he was impotent to his face.

“No, I am fine.”

He refused loudly.

Watching him act tough, Jiang Yubing could not help covering her mouth to giggle, yet her eyes stayed on him.

After observing for a while, she found that the idiot husband showed no abnormality except for slightly unsteady steps.

Only then did Jiang Yubing feel relieved.

Since neither of them ate breakfast and the idiot husband could not go out in his condition, Jiang Yubing decided to handle it herself.

She walked to the bathroom door and raised her voice, calling, “Husband, I am going to buy breakfast.”

Hearing her voice, Shen Qingxuan poked his head out of the bathroom and asked in confusion, “Can you manage?”

Jiang Yubing paused for a moment.

A moment later, she understood what he meant.

Jiang Yubing gave him a small smile and said, “I am fine. I am off now!”

Watching her departing back, Shen Qingxuan sighed to himself.

Sure enough, it echoed the old saying: “There are only tired oxen, never worn-out fields.”

After sighing, he withdrew and continued washing up.
