  Chapter 174: My Wife, Drink More Water

  TL: Etude

  Jiang Qin looked at Feng Nanshu solemnly, thinking to himself that she might be able to deceive herself, but could she deceive others? He wondered if she could truly say what kind of cup this was with a clear sce.

  But Feng Nanshu, clutg the cup, refused to let go.

  She was wearing a white down jacket, its hood trimmed with light pink fluff, making her look exceptionally lively and pure. Uhe e supermarket lights, her aloof aiful face carried a hint of stubbornness, her teeth lightly biting her red lips, and her eyes brimming with determination.

  “I’m out of money. I’ve been burning through cash for promotions tely and even have te for meals.”

  Jiang Qin put on a poor face, pretending to be broke.

  “I have money, I’ll buy it for you.”

  She was riough to spend without blinking an eye.

  Before he could say “don’t buy it,” Jiang Qin suddenly thought, what if she calls me ‘big brother’? How would I respond?

  I’m defenseless against that.

  In the end, the couple’s cup would be bought, and just one ‘big brother’ would shatter another piece of crete, losing both his wife and his soldiers.

  Ah, a young girl’s money is so easy to earn, especially those like her, trapped in a friendship.

  She just wao collect more things reted to him, desperately incorporating traces of him into her life, as if that would make him impossible to lose or fet. She didn’t care whether it was worth it or not.

  So, in the end, what she was buying wasn’t just a cup, but rather that pure aiful e.

  She was still worried about whether a best friend could st a lifetime, so she wao keep everythied to him in her life.

  “Boss Jiang, how much for these two cups?”

  “Thank you for your patronage, 99 yuan. I’ll round it down to 90 for you.”

  “o round it down. I don’t like being short one yuan. Here’s a hundred, keep the ge!”

  Jiang Zhihua, with a beaming smile, received the hundred yuan hinking to himself that if she had known Jiang’s biggest weakness was this stunningly beautiful girl, she wouldn’t have bothered making the ‘Star of Learning’ test.

  I should have just written your name on every product, like those milk tea cups, and made a fortune off your family!

  After watg the pair leave, Boss Jiang came out from behind the ter, set up a new pair of couple’s cups, and repced the old price tag with a new one priced at 100 yuan.

  She hadn’t noticed the price issue at first, but Jiang Qin’s reminder made her realize.

  Who would want to buy an inplete love? It’s simply inauspicious.

  ging the price from 99 to 100 yuan, making it plete, was more in lih what couples would desire.

  No wonder he made mohe attention to detail was uable.

  “Jiang Qin, I’m hungry.”

  “Me too, let’s go to the cafeteria for a meal.”

  Jiang Qin and Feng Nanshu, holding hands and each carrying a cup, headed to the cafeteria for a meal.

  The rabbit might not have been saved, but they still o eat. Jiang Qin ordered several dishes: crispy fried yellow fish, boiled shrimp, cold shredded pork ears, and a small stir-fried lotus pond dish, with a bowl of rice each.

  He was genuinely starving, wolfing down his meal as soon as he sat down, feeling slightly better only after filling his stomach a bit.

  Theiced the little rich dy pulling out her wallet from her pocket and silently pushing it towards him.

  “What’s this? Do you want to keep me?”1Keeping someone means being their sugar mommy/daddy, but in a less crude way

  Feng Nanshu pursed her lips slightly, “I ’t spend all my living expenses. You spend it for me.”

  Jiang Qin didn’t expect to be actually kept, “Is it all here?”

  “I lent fifty to Gao Wenhui. I’ll get it back for you tomorrow.”

  Jiang Qin opehe wallet and saw it was filled with crisp hundred yuan wo bank cards, a milk tea card – the ey of the little rich dy’s wealth minus fifty.

  “If you give me your money, what will you do? Have you thought about it? From now on, you’ll have to eat with me, ask me for money for snacks, go shopping with me, and even for outings…”

  “?”

  As Jiang Qin spoke, he increasingly felt something was off, while Feng Nanshu seemed to be gettied.

  “I don’t want it. Keep your wallet safe, don’t lose it. Actually, I’m not really poor, g poor is just a hobby of mine.”

  Hearing this, Feng Nanshu stretched out her hand and pushed the wallet back towards Jiang Qin again, her expression serious and ear.

  Jiang Qin temporarily set aside the wallet and fed her a peanut. He saw the little rich dy’s seriousness dissolve in an instant, obediently opening her mouth to eat, her lips looking shiny and moist.

  Just then, a sneaky figure was caught by Jiang Qin’s gaze.

  The person, realizing they’d been spotted, stopped hiding and swaggered over, sitting beside Feng Nanshu. They even took a pair of chopsticks from the sterilizer et and started eating the cold shredded pork ear, which was oily, crisp, and ed in sauce, delicious and tender.

  “Cssmate Gao.”

  “Hmm?”

  “You’ve really got guts. You lied to me and now you’re brazeing my food? Why don’t you show some more audacity and just sit on my p?”

  “That’s Feng Nanshu’s spot. If I sat there, she would cry.” Gao Wenhui mimicked the little rich dy’s expression, feigning aloofness.

  Jiang Qin’s face darkened: “You must be reted to the God of Matchmaking, right?”

  Gao Wenhui took a deep breath and sphteously, “I didn’t pn on ing at first, but then I thought, the dy I snagged with my skills, why shouldn’t I enjoy it? Wouldn’t I be at a loss?”

  Jiang Qin lowered his void spoke seriously, “Don’t py these games again. I thought she was being bullied, I almost ran a red light on the way back.”

  “Ah? I… I didn’t know!”

  “Now you know?”

  Gao Wenhui pondered for a moment: “Doesn’t that just show how important Feng Nanshu is to you? The moment she acts out of the ordinary, you get all flustered. That’s love, indescribable.”

  Jiang Qin g Feng Nanshu, who was ily twisting the cap of her cup, a a bit more at ease: “Eat your food. Do you really o worry about us?”

  “Sulfur dioxide and oxygen also need vanadium pentoxide as a catalyst to form sulfur trioxide.”

  “You know I don’t study, are you deliberately provoking me?” Jiang Qin’s cold smile was colder than a winter night.

  Gao Wenhui raised her hand: “You two tinue your show, I’ll keep quiet and just eat.”

  “…”

  Jiang Qin turo look at Feng Nanshu, notig her staring bnkly at the bottom of the cup, her long, curled eyeshes fluttering, her cheeks noticeably redder than before, as if she was lost in thought.

  “What are you looking at?”

  Jiang Qin was curious. He and Gao Wenhui had been talking for so long, and the little rich dy seemed to have been staring at the cup the whole time.

  Was there something inside? Something so captivating.

  “I’m not looking at anything.”

  Feng Nanshu seemed a bit guilty but still defiantly shook her head.

  “There must be something in the cup, right? Let me see.”

  Jiang Qin reached out to her for the cup.

  “Jiang Qin, there’s nothing in the cup. Just focus on feeding me.”

  The little rich dy opened her mouth slightly, cutely pleading for him to feed her.

  “The more you say that, the more I want to see. There’s definitely a secret in there, right?”

  Feng Nanshu was silent for a moment, then coldly handed over the cup.

  Jiang Qin wasn’t thinking too much, just curious. But when he looked into the cup, his expression gradually became serious.

  Ihe stainless steel cup were five embossed characters saying “My wife, drink more water.”

  Jiang Qin was stunned for a long time. He opened his own cup and saw five simir characters, reading “My husband, drink more water.”

  “Whose brilliant idea was this, anyway?”

  When he had received the cups from Jiang Zhihua, he had carefully examihem. Although the two cups were color-coordinated and identical in shape, they had no explicit messages.

  Sure, they were couple’s cups, but it wasn’t necessary for them to be identical.

  Just like the couple’s shirts they had bought at the Wanzhong Mall, there were no btant phrases like ‘I love you’, ‘you love me’, ‘husband’, ‘wife’, which made wearing them more fortable.

  But who khere was a hidden triside the cups?

  “Give it bae after you’re done looking…”

  Feng Nanshu, though appearing aloof, was actually a bit panicked, afraid he wouldn’t give it back after seeing the words.

  “Use hot water to it several times, preferably fill it up and leave it ht. I smell a bit of an odor, but the certification looks legitimate, so it should be fine.”

  Pretending not to have seen anything, Jiang Qin nontly hahe cup back to her.

  “I got it.”

  Feng Nanshu hugged the cup to her chest, treasuring it dearly.

  Jiang Qin turo Gao Wenhui: “I heard you borrowed fifty yuan from the little rich dy?”

  Gao Wenhui looked up: “It’s the end of the month, I was a bit short on living expenses. But you two are still good friends, why start managing money now?”

  “My point is, if you’re short on living expenses, you work part-time at the little rich dy’s milk tea shop instead of robbier to pay Paul.”

  “Isn’t the milk tea shop fully staffed?” Gao Wenhui was surprised.

  Jiang Qin spoke after eating a few bites: “We’re opening milk tea shops in the Uy of Sce of Teology and the Teachers’ Uy. We definitely o send experieaff there first, so this shop will be short-staffed. You’re Feng Nanshu’s best friend, s part-time at the front pza for a while, and maybe ter as a manager, would reassure me.”

  “Of course, it’s reassuring with family. I’ll go tomorrow.”

  “What family? You’re really a treasure, Gao. You haven’t even started w, and I already feel like dog your pay!”

  “??????”

  “Let’s settle on that, then. I’ll inform Hu Xin, and you learn from her.”

  After finishing his meal and feeding Feng Nanshu a few bites, Jiang Qin picked up his cup, g the words inside, and walked out of the cafeteria.

  “Nanshu, you must take trol of your family’s finances iure. Don’t hand them over to Jiang Qin. A woman only has a say when she trols the family’s wealth.”

  Feng Nanshu looked at her, bewildered: “Wenhui, I fot to ask, wasn’t y hurting?”

  Gao Wenhui eechless for a moment: “Suddenly, it got better.”

  “Wenhui, you’re bad, I won’t listen to you.”

  Actually, Jiang Qin’s decision to have Gao Wenhui work part-time at Xi Tian was calcuted.

  This woman was uable, a wildcard within the untrolble spectrum. But once Gao joined Xi Tian, whether or not her sary got docked would be up to him.

  Jiang Qin walked tentedly to the dormitory building and saw Cao Guangyu also returning. The cup in his hand looked like the same model as his, still ed in pstic film.

  “Yo!”

  “What yo? Get lost!”
