The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 450 - 449: Patch it up

Fu Yunhe lowered his head and then raised it with a smile, nodding.

"Rest assured, I will definitely work hard to become a Commander. I’ll make sure you get your money’s worth!"

It’s best to become the Commander’s Wife.

Ms. Nian Shutong opened her eyes and looked at Fu Yunhe, who was smiling. She couldn’t shake the feeling that his smile held a deeper meaning.

Fu Yunhe looked at Nian Shutong openly and directly, without a hint of guilt.

How could she possibly know what I’m thinking?

"Alright, let’s hurry back."

Nian Shutong didn’t ponder any further. Returning home was the priority.

Although she had informed Mr. Fan in passing that she and Fu Yunhe were both outside, who knew if those people could behave themselves?

"Okay, let’s go home."

Fu Yunhe and Nian Shutong went back together, this time riding Shadowless.

When they arrived at the small wooden house, dinner was being prepared.

After greeting everyone, Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe both returned to their rooms to clean up.

When they reappeared, they received several teasing glances.

Nian Shutong looked down at herself; she was clean, wasn’t she?

"Why are you looking at me? Did I not wash up properly?"

As she spoke, Nian Shutong even twirled around before sitting down to face those who were staring at her.

Fu Yunhe, on the other hand, had a moment of realization; their appearance on return had not been very becoming.

With grass and leaves in their hair and mud all over their bodies, and after having disappeared for several hours, the looks they received were somewhat "meaningful".

None responded to Nian Shutong’s question, but as everyone settled down at the table, a strange scene unfolded.

Mr. Fan was the first to start.

He personally brought over a pot of chicken soup, placing it in front of Fu Yunhe, and patting his shoulder, said, "I added sea cucumber."

"Thank you, Master Fan."

"Here, have a big chicken drumstick!" Elder Hua handed a large chicken drumstick to Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe didn’t dare to look at Nian Shutong and merely bowed his head to open the chicken soup, readying himself for a bowl.

It wasn’t about what was being supplemented, but rather, he was truly hungry. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Those at the table watched a person down half a pot of chicken soup, eat a large chicken drumstick and still seem eager for more, confirming some of their suspicions.

Ha Ha, for the first time, didn’t address Fu Yunhe but instead offered him a clam.

"Xiao He, eat up! The Commander says to replenish with similar shapes."

"Cough cough—cough cough—"

Fu Yunhe, who was choked by a mouthful of chicken soup, immediately picked up his bowl and downed its contents, not daring to put it down afterward.

At this moment, Nian Shutong finally sensed something unusual.

Replenish with similar shapes? A big chicken drumstick? Sea cucumber in the chicken soup?

They were "nourishing" Fu Yunhe.

She wasn’t embarrassed, but the speculation of the others left her feeling a bit off-balance.

Why was only he being nourished? Was she some kind of demon who drained vitality from people?

It was just not fair!

Mingming she had been so exhausted from two days of Artifact Refining; angered, Nian Shutong snatched a chicken drumstick, glared fiercely at Fu Yunhe, and began to eat.

The others observed Nian Shutong’s actions, and none dared move.

Fu Yunhe, even more so, kept his head down as he continued to eat, eat, and eat.

The image of a hard-done-by little wife formed vividly and took deep root.

Seeing Fu Yunhe looking this way, Nian Shutong was even more irritated, her teeth itchy with frustration!

You’re pretending! How dare you pretend!

With his face, how innocent could he act?

Nian Shutong huffed and puffed as she finished a drumstick, and when she put it down, she emphasized, "Refining artifacts for two days has indeed left me somewhat exhausted."

"Madam Nian Shutong, please do not avoid reality. You and Xiao He are a legally married couple; it’s only natural for mating to occur."

Once Rubble opened his mouth, no one could rival him.

Ms. Nian Shutong first glanced at Dou Dou, who by then had her ears covered by Ji Sisi.

"Auntie, Dou Dou can’t hear, you all can talk."

Adorably, Dou Dou also covered her own eyes, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, you all do as you please.

Ms. Nian Shutong didn’t say a word, but her piercing gaze shot towards Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe, who had been eating, frantically raised his head, pointing to his mouth, whimpering continuously.

That meant, there’s too much food, can’t speak.

Ms. Nian Shutong’s gaze turned dangerously at Fu Yunhe, you little rascal! Playing mind games with her?

Fu Yunhe didn’t want everyone to continue misunderstanding, he wanted to wait until he swallowed his food before speaking, but before he could, Ms. Nian Shutong smiled at him.

That smile, so beautiful.

So beautiful it sent shivers down Fu Yunhe’s spine, what is she going to do?

"Ah... you don’t understand."

Ms. Nian Shutong lowered her head, emanating sadness as she sighed yet again.

"Xiao He... Xiao He... he..."

Ms. Nian Shutong, who stopped herself just before saying more, then gazed "affectionately" at Fu Yunhe, making his skin crawl, she’s pulling out the big guns!

He quickly sped up his chewing, desperate to speak, this is bad!

Unfortunately, hindsight is a costly thing.

"Xiao He, he’s not up to it."

Ms. Nian Shutong, as if she had made up her mind, spoke what seemed like the hardest sentence she had to say, as if the rest would not be as hard.

"Although we are husband and wife, our married life is not harmonious, even going out for a few hours today, it’s still not working."

"Ah... I guess Xiao He has been frail since childhood, even if his health improved now, a chronic issue remains, his male capabilities have been impaired."

Having said all she had to, Ms. Nian Shutong pushed her bowl and chopsticks forward, stubbornly adding, "That’s it then, if it comes to it, I’ll just support him."

She walked away.

Her silhouette exuded loneliness, helplessness, and a heartache of accepting this as fact.

Fu Yunhe, who had finally swallowed, realized for the first time how good Ms. Nian Shutong’s acting was.

For the first time, he understood how much it hurt to lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

But she said she’d support him.

Ha ha... how nice.

Could this be considered an unconventional acknowledgment of his status?

"Xiao He, don’t be discouraged, Rubble can look into this area."

"Stinky Xiao He! When my Commander arrives, you guys should be good brothers."

"Fu Yunhe, you must relax, manage your emotions well, don’t make the Boss sad."

Elder Hua also stepped in to impart some lessons.

Fu Yunhe looked at this bunch, pitying himself but more so, worried about Ms. Nian Shutong.

He got up nonchalantly, waving his hands at everyone.

"It’s okay, as long as I can stay by Ms. Nian Shutong’s side, I am content."

"You all heard her, she said she’ll support me."

Saying this, Fu Yunhe couldn’t help but laugh, his gaze lingering, and without being sleazy, looking toward Ms. Nian Shutong’s room.

"I’m going to take her some food, you all help yourselves."

Fu Yunhe picked up a tray, selected a variety of dishes, and went to find Ms. Nian Shutong.

Left behind were the others, who somehow seemed like the person of the matter was not sad at all.

At this moment, Fu Yunhe knocked on Ms. Nian Shutong’s door, saw her nod, and then he entered.

Fu Yunhe, setting down the meal, asked the first question: "You’re really going to support me, right?"

"That’s the plan, what about it?"

Fu Yunhe crouched down, head lower than Ms. Nian Shutong’s.

He looked up, his eyes earnest and deep with emotion as he asked, "You don’t dislike me, do you?"
