Chapter 5 The Cold War Begins

"The truth is..."

Lin Shuo deliberately left things unsaid.

This makes the other person feel annoyed and irritable.

"Just tell me already... hurry up, don't keep me in suspense." Xia Yuqiu looked over angrily and said with a mournful tone.

"The truth is... one million isn't enough."

Lin Shuo shrugged and explained, "Think about it, the cars parked in the villa cost more than that in maintenance fees every year."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. If my dad had given you this money when we first met..." Xia Yuqiu didn't realize that she was talking faster and faster.

"One million is too little. A girl this pretty should be worth at least two hundred million," Lin Shuo teased.

"Then... then what if my dad had given you two hundred million back then..." Xia Yuqiu was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"Then I'd buy the latest 6090ti, a 4K TV, a Switch 2, a PS5 Pro, a 500-square-meter villa, two sports cars, and then use the rest to find college students!"

Lin Shuo blurted out all his thoughts at once.

Completely unaware that Xia Yuqiu's face was getting redder and redder beside him.

Let me correct that.

This red isn't from shyness.

It's anger.

Seeing that Lin Shuo was still talking nonstop.

Xia Yuqiu stood up straight and clenched her fists.

She was wearing cat-print pajamas at the time.

Because he stood up too quickly.

This resulted in the fluffy hat being placed directly on her head.

"Are you done talking?"

A murderous intent flashed in Xia Yuqiu's eyes.

The voice also turned cold.

"That's all for now." As soon as he finished replying, Lin Shuo realized that Xia Yuqiu was gone.

I was just about to get up and look for it.

Then an angry female voice came from above.

"Say what you've said and then die!"

then.

A fist came flying.

"what!"

"Honey, what are you doing!"

"You don't have a wife anymore!"

"A king descends from the heavens!!!"

"ah!!!!"

They fought for a very long time.

Xia Yuqiu finally vented his anger.

But after the beating.

The matter doesn't seem to be over yet.

He silently turned around.

Xia Yuqiu snatched all the blankets away.

Looking at Lin Shuo, who was lying on the bed in a wooden shape, wearing pajamas, next to her.

Xia Yuqiu snorted coldly.

Then I lay quietly in bed, thinking about all sorts of "what ifs".

"So, does he really...?"

"I don't think so. When we first met, he didn't know my family was wealthy."

"Hmm...that must be it."

"Back then, he worked three jobs a day, thinking about our future..."

"So he must have been joking with me just now."

"Was I going a bit too far?"

"Today is also the fifth anniversary of our meeting."

"Should we apologize?"

"But if I apologize first, won't it make me seem like I have a very good temper...?"

Xia Yuqiu couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

My mind was filled with memories of the past.

Time passed by, second by second.

suddenly.

Xia Yuqiu sat up straight.

She thought about it for a long time and realized that she might have gone a bit too far.

"that…"

Xia Yuqiu broke the silence and slowly spoke.

Her voice was very soft.

You can't hear it at all unless you get very close.

"Um... I was wrong just now... um..."

Done.

She glanced to the side out of the corner of her eye.

Then they discovered that Lin Shuo had already fallen asleep.

Xia Yuqiu was stunned.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

His face was full of disbelief.

But the snoring sound was so real.

"And I was even thinking of apologizing..."

"And I was even thinking about what I did wrong just now..."

"And you, you just fell asleep..."

Thinking of this.

Xia Yuqiu became even angrier.

She looked around.

Then she put her icy cold feet directly into Lin Shuo's stomach.

then.

A desperate cry echoed all around.

.........

…………

The next morning.

Lin Shuo sat on the sofa with dark circles under his eyes.

He realized that his joke yesterday might have gone a bit too far.

Starting from the moment I wake up today.

Xia Yuqiu seems to be ignoring me.

Just then.

Xia Yuqiu came out of the room.

She didn't even look in this direction.

She took the bread out of the refrigerator, put it in the oven, tossed her hair, picked up her toothbrush and towel, and headed to the bathroom.

Looking at her like this.

Lin Shuo's thoughts were further confirmed.

If it were before...

She'll definitely pounce on him and ask Lin Shuo for a good morning kiss.

Afterwards, the two of them washed up together.

Then lie on the sofa and snuggle for a while.

Xia Yuqiu went to work at the company.

Lin Shuo went to work in the game.

But now.

Xia Yuqiu seemed to be unable to see herself.

They didn't even say a word.

"bad…"

Lin Shuo covered his face with his hand, thinking to himself:

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have made such an outrageous joke yesterday."

It's normal for couples to argue.

at this time.

Just give the other party a way out.

Then the two of them sat down, talked calmly, and the matter was over.

Thinking of this.

Lin Shuo had an idea.

He hurriedly got up and tightened the lid of the blueberry jam jar in the refrigerator.

After you've done all that.

Lin Shuo sneaked back to the sofa.

He has already completed the preparations.

Next.

We just need to wait and see how things develop.

In Lin Shuo's plan.

Xia Yuqiu will definitely go get the blueberry jam jar later and spread it on bread for breakfast.

She won't be able to open the can no matter what.

They definitely need to call for help.

That's when I'll make my appearance.

Solve her problem for her, and then apologize for what happened yesterday.

"Perfect!"

Lin Shuo clenched his fist and said excitedly.

As they were talking.

Xia Yuqiu finished washing up.

He came out of the restroom.

Just then, the bread was baked.

Xia Yuqiu glanced in this direction.

After catching a glimpse of Lin Shuo out of the corner of her eye, she quickly looked away.

She pouted, silently went to the refrigerator, and took out blueberry jam.

Lin Shuo watched quietly from the side.

As he had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had expected.

A slight smile curved his lips.

His breathing became increasingly rapid.

"Huh?" After twisting the can twice with force, Xia Yuqiu bit her lower lip, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing together, revealing a puzzled expression.

then.

She seemed to have thought of something.

She glanced back at Lin Shuo, then walked straight away.

"Ahem..." Lin Shuo knew his chance had come. He walked towards the refrigerator, muttering to himself:

"Oh, I'm here! Really, if there's anything you need, just tell me, honey..."

He only said half of what he meant.

Then Xia Yuqiu turned back.

Lin Shuo chuckled and leaned closer, saying, "Wife, it's alright. Leave this to me."

Done.

Lin Shuo patted his chest, just about to unscrew the can.

Xia Yuqiu snatched it away.

then…

She pulled out a knife from somewhere.

then.

It suddenly stabbed downwards.

With a soft "plop".

The lid of the can was punctured.

Blue jam was spilled everywhere.

The lid broke.

Xia Yuqiu unscrewed it very easily.

Lin Shuo watched this scene quietly.

He immediately gasped, thinking, "Holy crap, am I going to be the next one to get stabbed?"

after that.

Xia Yuqiu finished breakfast.

I put on my headphones and sat quietly on the sofa, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

Lin Shuo hesitated for a long time.

I still went over there.
