Chapter 128: His Face Turned Black Again
Li Yuwei walked out of the hotel. Facing the strange looks from others, she suddenly felt uneasy. She said worriedly, “Shuangxi, you must be good to me in the future.”
Feng Shuangxi promised readily. “After we get married, I will definitely work hard to make you live a good life.”
Li Yuwei immediately felt confident. She smiled happily. “I believe you. Do you have any good ideas now? Have you found any good opportunities in the black market?”
“What good opportunities can there be in the black market? Last time, I was caught. You almost lost your job. My wrist still hasn't healed. Who dares to go? After we get married, you should ask your dad to get me a stable job. The income is stable and respectable. Ouch, my hand is starting to hurt again. I moved too violently just now.” Feng Shuangxi said with a bit of reproach.
Li Yuwei: “!!!” Get me a job? In my past life, Ying Sisi never mentioned it. How could I even bring it up? Besides, because I'm with him, my father doesn't even talk to me anymore. “You have to find a job by yourself.”
“Yuwei, you're capable. You should help me. Do you know Zhu Yuanzhang? He became emperor thanks to Empress Ma. Behind every successful man, there's a virtuous wife.” Feng Shuangxi said earnestly.
Li Yuwei was stunned.
Is this still the Feng Shuangxi in my memory? The successful man who started from scratch?
Something must be wrong.
Feng Shuangxi said again, “It's not urgent. I'll take you home first.”
"."
On her way home, Li Yuwei thought about it, and it didn't make sense. Feng Shuangxi shouldn't be a man who relies on his father-in-law. He should be capable.
What's wrong?
She couldn't figure it out. The next day, she went to work with dark circles under her eyes. Because she wasn't focused, she was criticized by her superiors several times. By the time she got off work, she was exhausted. She leaned back in her chair to rest for half an hour, then Li Junlu scolded her. “Your mother is still in the hospital. You have the nerve to sleep. You can't get off work early and cook for her?”
Li Yuwei said pitifully, “I just got off work. Why don't you call my sister back? She doesn't have a job. She just stays at home all day anyway. Why don't you ask her to take care of Mom for a few days?”
Ying Sisi, who was far away in the east, sneezed.
She moved too much, causing the scarf to drop two stitches.
She screamed in anger.
The sudden exclamation startled Qin Yanci. He immediately rushed out of the guest room. “My dear wife, what happened?”
“I don't know who is cursing me. I sneezed and the scarf dropped stitches. I'm so close to finishing it. It's infuriating.” Ying Sisi angrily untangled the yarn and rethreaded the needle.
Qin Yanci couldn't help but smile. “Maybe someone is thinking of you.”
“Who would think of me? Besides my grandma in the countryside.” Ying Sisi said sadly, “It would be great if I could bring her here.”
“If you want to bring her, then bring her.”
Ying Sisi was surprised. “Really? When I go back to my hometown to sweep my mom's grave during the Qingming Festival, I'll ask her opinion. My grandma, she was a courtesan in her youth. She was prettier than other women her age. According to her, many warlords wanted to take her as their concubine, but she didn't want to.”
“Courtesan?” Qin Yanci repeated. No wonder she's so tactful and worldly. She must have been well-trained by her grandma. “It shows she has integrity.”
“Yes! If it were me, I would've probably gone to enjoy the good life.” Ying Sisi said casually.
Qin Yanci's face turned black again.
She shuddered. She added, “Of course, the premise is that you're a warlord. Then I'd be willing.”
Qin Yanci's expression softened. “Then I'll make you my official wife. One wife is enough for me.”
