Chapter 96: Chapter 92: Husband, are you back?

Translator: 549690339 |

The moment Xu Yang held Liu Shishi in his arms, she instinctively wanted to burst out her Yin energy to push him away…

But in the end, she held back!

She was in a state of panic.

Even her body was trembling slightly.

Especially when Xu Yang said things like “I wouldn’t have time to like you,” Liu Shishi felt like a frightened little rabbit, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Of course.

This was just a feeling.

She was a ghost, where did the heartbeat come from?

“Ding!”

“The female ghost was frightened, merit points +100.”

“Ding!”

“The female ghost was frightened, merit points +100.”

“Ding…”

Five consecutive system prompts sounded in Xu Yang’s mind.

Is this even possible?

Xu Yang was stunned.

Seeing the numbers behind the [Merit Points] column leaping up instantly, he felt like he had discovered the key to the door of the new world, and proceeded to take advantage of the situation when…

Yang Yin walked in.

She widened her eyes, a look of disbelief on her face, and let out a “ah” cry of surprise, then quickly reacted and said, “Shishi, Master Xu, 1 didn’t see anything, you guys continue…you guys continue!”

Having said that.

She quickly covered her eyes, turned around, and “swoosh” floated out of the room.

Liu Shishi’s face immediately turned red to the roots of her ears.

She pushed Xu Yang away and chased after her.

“Yang Yin, listen to me explain…things are not what you saw!”

“Shishi, I didn’t see anything…”

As for Xu Yang.

His face turned green.

Damn it!

Yang Yin…always messing up a good thing!

If not, he could at least have gotten a first kiss from Liu Shishi today!

After all, the atmosphere was set, and such a simple request for a kiss, his Shishi wouldn’t refuse.

“Forget it, forget it…there’s plenty of time, no need to rush.”

Xu Yang comforted himself, at least today was a good start…as the saying goes, a good start is half the battle, and with a good start, what’s to fear for the future?

In his mind, Yue Yuluo’s figure emerged again.

Xu Yang shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts, took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then continued practicing his talisman.

Soon.

The sky outside began to lighten, and the sun slowly rose.

At about eight o’clock in the morning, Xu Yang put away his talisman brush and paper, left the bedroom, and happened to meet Liu Shishi and Yang Yin, both of them carrying large and small bags, filled with vegetables, beef, eggs, and fruit.

“What are you doing…?”

Xu Yang looked at them in amazement, “Went to the morning market?”

“Yeah.”

Yang Yin nodded, “Shishi said that eating out too much is not healthy, so we went to the market to buy some vegetables and planned to cook for ourselves.” Xu Yang was shocked, “You two ladies can cook?”

Yang Yin was the daughter of a wealthy businessman during the Republic of Da Xia period, and Liu Shishi was the daughter of an official in the Ming Dynasty, both of whom grew up in rich families and had never had to cook for themselves.

Because of the previous incident.

Liu Shishi blushed when she saw Xu Yang.

But her arrogant tone had softened considerably, “Who do you think you are? It’s just cooking, right? I’ve been brushing up on cooking videos these past few days…hold on, I’ll make you some eight treasures porridge first.”

“Elder sister, let me help you…”

Yang Yin also eagerly entered the kitchen.

The kitchen was small, and just by making a porridge and arranging the freshly bought vegetables and meat, the two women were already busy and flustered.

Xu Yang tried to help, but Liu Shishi pushed him away.

“A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.”

“Moreover, it’s just making an eight-treasures porridge. Don’t you think I can handle that?”

“Master Xu, you can watch the store on the first floor… 1’11 bring the porridge down to you once it’s done.”

Xu Yang thought to himself…

All they need to do is add water to make the porridge, and it shouldn’t be a problem. So he went downstairs and sat at the counter on the first floor to watch the store.

About 30 minutes later.

Yang Yin brought the porridge down.

Looking at the porridge that had risen above the rim of the bowl… Xu Yang stirred it with his chopsticks in shock and said, “You call this porridge?” Isn’t this just sticky rice?

Yang Yin felt a little embarrassed and said, “I only used two bowls of rice… I didn’t know it would make so much. The pot at home is small, so I couldn’t add too much water…”

Two bowls of rice?

Xu Yang felt the urge to vomit blood…

This is supposed to be eight-treasures porridge, not rice. Two bowls of rice can make a large pot!

However, this is the first time Liu Shishi and Yang Yin cooked, so he has to eat it even with tears in his eyes!

Xu Yang bought two packs of pickles from outside, and managed to finish the “eight-treasures sticky rice.” When Liu Shishi came down to collect the bowl and saw Xu Yang had really finished it, she immediately became excited and asked, “Xu Yang… What do you want to eat for lunch?”

“How about braised pork?”

“Kung Pao chicken?”

“Or maybe… I can buy a fish and make sour and spicy fish for you?”

“No, no, no…”

Xu Yang hurriedly stopped her and said, “Shishi, cooking takes time… Let’s take it one step at a time, starting with the simplest dishes. How about you just boil some noodles and make a fried egg?”

“Alright!”

Liu Shishi’s mouth was full of a happy smile as she said, “1’11 make noodles for you at noon.”

At noon.

Liu Shishi quickly cooked the noodles.

The noodles were ready-made from outside, so there was no trouble in boiling them. The only issue was the egg, which was a bit overcooked, with a blackened skin, and occasional pieces of eggshell inside.

As Xu Yang swallowed with tears in his eyes, he gave a thumbs up and praised, “Delicious!”

There wasn’t much business at the store in the afternoon, so Xu Yang, feeling bored, played poker with Liu Shishi and Yang Yin for a while.

At first, the two women didn’t know how to play.

But once they learned the rules, soon Xu Yang found himself with a face full of sticky notes.

Playing poker with ghosts and actually winning is strange!

They had countless ways to cheat, and Xu Yang couldn’t defend against them.

“No more playing! No more playing!”

Xu Yang threw down his cards and said, “How about we go house hunting? We have money now, and villas in Wu City aren’t expensive… Should we buy one to live in?”

Once the idea came up, it couldn’t be restrained.

In Wu City, the average price of a house is around 6,000.

Nicer locations are a bit more expensive.

Xu Yang checked Anju Ke and found that there were many villas on sale, ranging from 2 million for an unfurnished one, to over 3 million for a finely decorated one.

A standalone villa would be a bit pricier.

But none exceeded 5 million.

He immediately contacted an agent, viewed a few properties, and decided to discuss them with Liu Shishi and Yang Yin before making a decision.

Very quickly.

It was afternoon.

Liu Shishi said it was time for dinner and wanted to go home to cook.

Xu Yang wouldn’t allow it, and immediately took both women into a restaurant, saying, “We’re all out looking for a villa. Don’t we deserve a good meal to celebrate?”

After dinner, the three of them strolled around for a while before returning to the store at 9 p.m.

The moment Xu Yang opened the door, he froze.

He saw Yue Yuluo sitting in the chair in front of the counter on the first floor, saying crisply, “My husband, you’re back?”
