Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Rui looked at Chu Ning’s look of devastation and said kindly, “Don’t be afraid, I’m not a wife abuser.”

Chu Ning was quiet.

“Who’s your wife?” She stared at Li Rui fiercely.

In a low voice, Li Rui warned, “Stop staring, or your eyes will cramp.”

Then, Chu Ning froze and her eyelids began to twitch! She took a deep breath and looked at Li Rui. “Are you cursing me?”

Li Rui looked at Chu Ning and said nothing.

Chu Ning’s eyelids twitched for a long time before they recovered. She took a deep breath and repeatedly told herself that it was never too late for her to take revenge! She would no longer slack off. She had to practice diligently and cultivate well.

Finally, the knock came again.

Still standing in front of Chu Ning, Li Rui pulled open the door.

This time, Li Chong had already learned his lesson. His head was so low that it was about to sink into his collar. He did not even dare to look around. “Fourth Master, the clothes you wanted have been dry-cleaned.”

Li Rui was silent as he took the bag from him.

Li Chong quickly disappeared.

Li Rui glanced back at Chu Ning and handed it to her. “Change,” he said and left the bathroom.

Chu Ning narrowed her eyes and stared at his perfect back with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. She wanted to stab him twice. But even so, she didn’t delay at all and quickly changed her clothes. When she put on her jeans, she realized that there were many small decorative beads sewn on them. She touched them and realized that they were pearls. Could they be sold for money? After all, their family was about to run out of food. Looking at the pink short-sleeved shirt, she wondered when she had ever worn such pink clothes in her life.

Chu Ning, who did not have the heart of a girl, was very resistant to this shirt. However, due to Li Rui’s aura, she still changed into it. After all, she had not been able to defeat him! She had to admit defeat.

After Chu Ning changed her clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pink and tender, and her clothes were off-shoulder. Her fair and smooth shoulder bones were exposed, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

She didn’t expect that she, Chu Ning, would become a coward one day.

She put on the white shoes that Li Rui had prepared for her and walked out with a hopeless expression.

When Xiaobao saw her, her eyes lit up and she skipped around her excitedly. “Mommy is so beautiful.”

The corners of Chu Ning’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. The clothes on her were completely Xiaobao’s favorite style.

Dabao’s eyes were like a painting as he smiled. “Mommy will wear this in the future. It looks good.”

Chu Ning silently looked at Dabao and then at Li Rui. His gaze was like a knife. This bastard had also changed his clothes, but so what if he looked good? He was a refined scum.

Chu Ning ignored him and leaned back on the sofa. She looked at Li Rui lazily.

Li Rui watched her put her straight and even legs on the coffee table. He didn’t say anything and just looked at her.

Sensing his gaze, a few seconds later, Chu Ning silently retracted her legs and sat upright.

Dabao and Xiaobao, who had been hinting at their mommy with their eyes, were speechless.

Their eyes were about to twitch from hinting at her just now, but Mommy didn’t react. Now, Daddy solved it with a look. When did Mommy become so obedient? This was too abnormal!

Li Rui whispered, “Ring.”

Chu Ning glanced at the black jade ring in the middle of the coffee table. She picked it up and silently put it on her thumb. However, it was obviously much bigger and went down the length of her thumb.

Li Rui glanced at her. Her fingers were long, white, thin, and even.

Why was the wretched man looking at her hands? Her hands were not braised chicken feet and could not be eaten!

Li Rui looked elegant and praised as though he was speaking to a child. “How obedient.”

Chu Ning’s face instantly darkened! She wanted to curse!

After Li Rui finished speaking, he opened the bookcase at the side and found a red velvet box with a red cord inside. It was very exquisite and beautiful. He took it out and walked toward Chu Ning. He bent down, took off the ring, secured it onto the red string, and then looked at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning obediently stretched out her neck. Li Rui reached out to put it on for her and then added, “You’re not allowed to take it off.”

Chu Ning couldn’t help but ask, “Can I sell it?”

Li Rui was expressionless. “Guess?”

With that, he sat on the sofa opposite and picked up the two children again. “We’ll eat dinner together.”

Chu Ning thought of the Tarim Restaurant that Chu Yue mentioned and raised her eyebrows at Li Rui. “Is there a restaurant called Tarim near Lake Tibet? I heard that the head chef used to be in charge of state banquets?”
