After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife-Chapter 186: Begging for Mercy, But Useless

Seeing his daughter being so polite with him, only talking about cooperation, Luo Juan felt dejected.

But it was alright. After all, his daughter not refusing was progress, wasn't it?

"If that's the case, we'll do as Ge'er wishes. We can discuss further plans in the future, and I'll listen to whatever Ge'er decides," he thought, then said with a smile.

Luo Shiyan was quite happy hearing Luo Ge's words, as his sister didn't reject his form of address.

Compared to their parents calling her Ge'er, he felt his way of addressing her was much more intimate!

"Alright then, little sister. I'll find an opportunity to compile a booklet for you about the special sights and local delicacies of these places. You can take a look when you have time."

"Sounds good."

Seeing the siblings like this, Lady Qian, Luo Juan, and the others felt a bit sour.

However, when did Luo Shiyan acquire businesses in foreign lands?

How come they didn't know about this?

Their faces were full of confusion, but considering their daughter was present, they couldn't bring themselves to question him.

Only after Luo Ge and the others went to rest did Luo Juan step forward and give Luo Shiyan's shoulder a slap.

"You rascal, when did you set up these businesses? How come none of us knew about it?"

"That's right, husband. How come we've never heard you mention this?"

All they knew was that this fellow was always gallivanting about, often away from home for ten to fifteen days at a time.

Luo Shiyan rubbed his slapped shoulder and turned to look at his parents and wife.

"Well... it was a while ago. You know, there's strength in numbers, so I thought opening a few inns would help gather information about my sister."

"Before I knew it, I'd opened quite a few..."

Luo Juan and the others thought: A few? This is way more than a few.

"Making big money on the sly, keeping it from your whole family. Well done, you little rascal."

Luo Juan said with a forced smile. Considering that Luo Shiyan did it to find his daughter, this matter could be forgiven.

But he still had to teach him a lesson.

While talking, he gave Luo Shiyan's shoulder two more heavy slaps.

"Impressive, very impressive indeed!"

He wouldn't admit that these two slaps were out of jealousy.

"Father, are you trying to murder me?"

Seeing Luo Shiyan grimacing in pain and jumping away, Lady Qian, Ling Yun, and Little Zhen Heng just stood by watching, without a hint of sympathy.

They silently followed the departing Luo Juan, leaving only a row of backs for Luo Shiyan.

Seeing this, Luo Shiyan muttered, "...Hmph."

Don't think he couldn't tell - they were jealous!

But what could he do? His sister only allowed him to call her that way, while others had to use her name!

Gu Jinchen: ...Hmph!

...............

The next day.

Upon learning that Luo Ge could now receive visitors, Jiang Feng hurriedly brought Li Shopkeeper along with gifts, including the brewed peach blossom wine and loquat wine.

Hearing that guests had arrived, Luo Ge sat up, rubbing her sore waist.

The culprit, Gu Jinchen, seeing this, rubbed his nose and said, "If you'd rather, I can go talk to them while you rest a bit more."

Luo Ge glared at him in response, "I can get up. If you know what's good for you, next time... just don't be so rough."

This man was insatiable after being starved for so long; her poor waist really couldn't take it.

Begging for mercy was useless too.

The scoundrel said he couldn't control himself (gritting teeth.jpg).

Besides, if guests arrived now and she made excuses not to see them, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?

Any experienced person would understand immediately if they heard she couldn't get out of bed.

She didn't want to die of shame.

"Ahem, alright."

Faced with his wife's gaze, a certain someone felt very guilty and silently took the opportunity to massage his wife, fearing she might be uncomfortable sitting later.
