Chapter 433: The Rich Young Master's Billionaire Wife
7:30 p.m.
Lu You picked up Tang Wan who had just finished a meeting, and they went home together.
As the temperature dropped, Tang Wan, who was always afraid of the cold, put on a full set of armor, including a down jacket, sweater, scarf, hat, long johns, and gloves, making her look plump.
In comparison, Lu You's outfit was much looser, with a long slim windbreaker and a pair of casual pants, looking light and handsome.
The two of them were obviously very close, yet it seemed as if there was a season between them.
Lu You looked at Tang Wan's outfit and asked, "Are you cold?"
Tang Wan did not answer, but asked: "Aren't you cold?"
"You are my sun. I am not cold when you are with me."
"Old-fashioned." Tang Wan took off her scarf, wrapped it around Lu You's neck, and said, "This is a reward for you. Hurry up and say hello to my wife."
Lu You moved his nose subconsciously. The scarf still had Tang Wan's scent on it, which was fresh and light, and smelled very good.
"Do you want everyone to hear it, or just you?"
Tang Wan looked around and saw that there were quite a few people walking around.
"Forget it, no need to shout, save your energy for tonight's bed." Tang Wan showed a meaningful smile and said, "If you serve me well tonight, I will give you a big red envelope!"
"Oh, you're quite generous! Did my aunt give me living expenses or did my mom give me some money as a reward?"
Tang Wan is not a person who spends money lavishly. On the contrary, she is even a bit of a miser.
Of course, Tang Wan would not waste a single dollar. Having money but not spending it is the same as having no money at all.
Therefore, whenever Tang Wan earned some money, she would be generous in a limited way, such as treating Lu You to a good meal or buying some high-quality ingredients to cook at home.
At present, Tang Wan does not have a part-time job, and it is not the time period for applying for scholarships. Her only way to obtain income is from Zhao Huijuan or Shen Yuyin.
The former regularly deposits 2000 yuan every month, which is not much, but is stable. The latter deposits depending on his mood, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand yuan at a time.
"Hehe, there's no need to ask how I got here. It must be legal anyway." Tang Wan took off her gloves and put them in her pocket, then took Lu You's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat all over the snack street!"
ten minutes later.
The two arrived at their destination.
Since today is Friday and there are several colleges nearby, the snack street is crowded with people. The smells of various foods and spices mixed together, arousing the consumption desire of passers-by.
The two followed the crowd and slowly entered the street.
In order to avoid being separated, Tang Wan hugged Lu You's arm tightly.
"Honey, order whatever you want to eat, it's my treat!" Tang Wan said arrogantly.
"You're treating me, so you'll pay?"
"What else? How can you call it a treat if you don't pay?"
"Okay, I'll be welcome then."
Having said that, Lu You did not specifically buy expensive items, but instead made his selections based on Tang Wan's preferences and the number of people queuing in front of the stall.
It took the two of them nearly thirty minutes to walk from the beginning of the street to the end.
Lu You glanced at the bags wrapped around the five fingers of his left hand, many of which were still steaming.
"Do you want to go home and eat, or eat nearby?"
Compared with Lu You, Tang Wan's right hand was not burdened much less and she also reaped the rewards.
"Just stay close! A lot of things will be smelly when we get home, and I don't want to pick up the trash."
"agree."
The two found a flower garden and sat side by side. Next to them were many couples and small families who were unpacking their spoils after shopping in the snack street.
In November in the north, there is little rainfall and the weather is dry, which makes it difficult for mosquitoes to breed, so various flower beds and green belts are suitable for people.
It is different in the south, where there is plenty of rainfall. No matter what month it is, as long as the temperature is not below 20℃, mosquitoes will buzz around. Those who can stay safely in an area where plants gather for two minutes either have thick skin or are born with a mosquito-repellent body.
The two of them laid out the snacks they had bought one by one, including fried tofu, grilled starch sausage, grilled octopus feet, shrimp balls, grilled pig brains, sauce-flavored pancakes, and so on.
They are very self-aware. The stomachs of two people are limited in capacity and cannot hold much, so each snack is served individually and is considered small in size.
"Which one do you want to eat first?" Lu You asked.
Tang Wan's eyes moved quickly. She had a slight difficulty in making decisions, but it didn't have much impact. After hesitating for a few seconds, she made a decision.
"Eat the tofu while it's still hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Tang Wan picked up the disposable lunch box. The tofu inside was cut into cubes with a side length close to the length of the thumb, about five millimeters thick, and covered with a dense layer of five-spice powder.
The two used bamboo sticks as chopsticks and each picked up a piece of tofu and put it into their mouths.
With one bite, all kinds of flavors emerge.
First, there was the saltiness of the powder, probably because the boss's hands were shaking and he sprinkled too much. Then there was the toughness of the tofu's skin, with a noticeable resistance when biting down with the teeth. Finally, there was the tenderness and bean fragrance of the tofu itself.
The tofu has been out of the oven for a while and the temperature has dropped to a level that is easy to eat.
So, Lu You didn't taste it carefully. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then continued to pick up the second piece.
Seeing Lu You eating quickly, Tang Wan asked curiously, "Do you think it tastes good?"
Lu You shook his head and said truthfully: "Average, not even as good as those in school."
The school cafeteria also has a dish called fried tofu on its menu.
"Then why do you eat so fast?" Tang Wan was even more confused. Shouldn't you slow down and eat little by little when eating something that tastes bad?
Lu You ate the fourth piece of tofu, and the lunch box was almost empty.
"I guess you also think this tofu is not very good. Based on my understanding of you, you will eventually force me to eat anything you don't like. It doesn't matter if I eat it in the morning or in the evening. So I might as well be more conscious and eat it first to show my respect."
"I'm crying!" Tang Wan wiped the tears from her eyes and pretended to be moved, "Originally I was going to ask for 100 million yuan as a gift when we get married, but now I'll give you a 99% discount and you can pay in installments."
"A bid like this? Are you better at shooting three-pointers than peak Curry, or stronger than peak O'Neal? And you're offering a 100 million yuan dowry, but you're not going to star in "The Billionaire Wife of a Rich Young Master"?"
"Do you think I'm unworthy?"
Lu You chuckled twice and said, "I'm a locksmith. Can you make keys for me? How many keys?"
"I really want to beat you up!" Tang Wan kicked Lu You in dissatisfaction and said, "Is it difficult to follow my wishes and make me happy for once?"
"I'm afraid if I coax you a few more times you'll take it seriously."
"How is that possible! I was just joking. Who would spend 100 million to get married?"
Lu You looked at Tang Wan with a look of inexplicable surprise and said, "Don't tell me, it really is true."
"Who is it that would be such a huge nemesis?"
"My parents."
Tang Wan lowered her head and silently ate the last piece of tofu. She stammered, "You were hallucinating just now. I didn't say anything."
Lu You found Tang Wan's ostrich-like appearance a little funny.
"Rather than saying that the wedding cost 100 million, it's better to say that the two families used the marriage as an excuse to enter into a business partnership, and the 100 million is considered an investment."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a big family is indeed a big family. They can even turn marriage into cooperation." Tang Wan sighed sincerely, "Back then, my father carried a shoulder pole, brought two chickens, two ducks, five catties of pork, a basket of eggs and a radio, crossed mountains and ridges, walked to my grandfather's house, and successfully married my mother."
"Times are different, so they can't be confused. In the past, transportation, economy, and technology were not developed, and material things were scarce. The average family was happy to eat fatty pork once a week, and there was no need to think about electronic products like radios. There were probably only one or two in a village. The fact that your father could come up with so many things at once is enough to show his strength and sincerity."
"That's true. When it comes to earning ability, my dad is indeed not bad."
Although Tang Wan is prejudiced against Tang Yixiong, she will not discredit him.
He is nearly 50 years old and owns a house of more than 100 square meters in a good location in Guangzhou. He supports his entire family with his own income and is not burdened with debt.
All I can say is that greatness needs no words.
"Hey, my beloved, if you say that I will bring the same betrothal gift as your father and replace the radio with an Apple family bundle when I go to propose marriage, will your mother agree?" Lu You suddenly had an idea.
Tang Wan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Given how much my mother likes you, she will most likely agree. But it would be better if she doesn't want the Apple family package, but Huawei instead."
"why?"
"My mother is pollen, which is the innate opposite of apples."
“I really didn’t expect that!”
After finishing the fried tofu, Tang Wan turned her attention to the grilled octopus feet.
When seafood is cooled, it will have a strong fishy smell and is best eaten while hot.
The two of them each used a bamboo stick to pick up a piece of octopus's foot and put it into their mouths.
It has a salty and fragrant taste with a hint of spiciness, and a crispy and springy texture, which is much better than fried tofu.
"By the way, are you going to take the midterm exam next week?" Lu You asked.
"Of course there will be an exam! In our school, which major doesn't have a midterm exam?"
"How many subjects are you taking?"
"Except for a few public courses, all others must be tested."
"Are you sure?"
Tang Wan chewed the octopus foot and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, it's a piece of cake. I can easily get a top five in my major."
"Okay, if you're really in the top five in your major, I'll coax my mom into giving you a big red envelope, guaranteed to be this amount." As he said that, Lu You raised four fingers.
Fearing that Lu You might go back on his word, Tang Wan immediately said, "You took the initiative to propose this! It has nothing to do with me. I just passively accepted it."
Lu You saw through Tang Wan's attempt to build a memorial archway for himself, and said with a smile: "If you are really unwilling, you can choose to refuse."
Tang Wan rolled her eyes and said, "You asked me to give back the money I put into my pocket? Am I stupid? I'm not a saint."
The two of them ate and chatted, sharing each other's experiences of the week, both happy and troublesome.
When one is talking, the other listens attentively. They neither make jokes nor play with their phones. They do not disturb each other and respect each other.
In the bustling downtown, they created a small world that belonged to the two of them.
……
Half past ten in the evening.
Lu You lay flat on the bed, looking at the ceiling, recalling the conversation he had with Zhang Zhichuang in the evening.
Is it possible to determine a person's gender based on their voice alone?
Zhang Zhichuang thinks it is possible, but Lu You has a question mark.
The simplest example.
Before hearing about Zhou Shen, Lu You’s reaction when listening to “Big Fish” for the first time was, “This woman’s voice is so amazing.”
It’s not even possible to tell the difference in real life, let alone on the Internet?
The basis for Zhang Zhichuang's judgment is that a person's voice will reflect his personality to a certain extent, and the other person's voice sounds monotonous and has no characteristics, so it must be a voice changer.
Lu You wanted to verify this.
As for whether the person behind the voice changer was a toe-picking man, Lu You had no way to verify it for the time being and could not make a conclusion.
At this moment, Tang Wan's face occupied 90% of Lu You's vision.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu You came back to his senses, put his arm around Tang Wan, sniffed her sweet scent, and asked, "Have you finished talking to Auntie?"
Every Friday, Tang Wan would call Zhao Huijuan to inform her of her recent situation and maintain the relationship between mother and daughter.
"The chat is over."
"What did we talk about?"
"It's just the same back and forth." Tang Wan leaned into Lu You's arms and said, "Have you eaten? Do you have enough money? Is your study going well? Have you quarreled with me? And she reminded me to wear more clothes because the weather is getting cold."
Lu You gently stroked Tang Wan's hair and said, "Auntie really cares about you."
"Hey, the old woman's nagging is okay once or twice, but if you repeat it more than a few times, you'll get annoyed."
"That's better than being alone, isn't it?"
Looking back on his previous life, most of the care Lu You received throughout the year were greetings from banks and mobile phone operators during holidays.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Tang Wan turned over and rode on Lu You's belly, with a hungry wolf-like light in her eyes, and said, "Little brother, are you ready to please your sister?"
Seeing that Tang Wan had unbuttoned the top two buttons of her pajamas, her snow-white cleavage emerged.
Lu You quickly grabbed Tang Wan's wrist to prevent her from making any further moves.
"Wait a minute, I need your cooperation on something else."
Tang Wan frowned and said unexpectedly, "I'm already emotional, you want me to wait a moment?"
"It will be quick, just a few minutes."
"Can't we finish it first?"
"You fell asleep after you were done."
Tang Wan broke free from Lu You's restraints. Although she was very unhappy, she still held back.
"What's going on?"
"Let's simulate a situation. You play yourself and I play my roommate, Zhang Zhichuang."
Tang Wan's eyes widened, her expression becoming somewhat embarrassed and a little shy.
"Isn't this...not good?"
"What is the problem?"
Under Lu You's suspicious gaze, Tang Wan hesitated for a while before she said awkwardly, "I'm quite disgusted by minotaurs, but if you really want to..."
As soon as Tang Wan finished speaking, Lu You slapped her on the top of her head and said unhappily, "Can't you have less yellow crap in your head?"
Tang Wan covered her head and said with a wronged look, "Do you blame me? It was obviously you who said something that easily led to misunderstandings!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lu You patted Tang Wan's lower back again and urged, "Hurry up and cooperate with me. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get back to work!"
They both got up from the bed and stood beside it.
Lu You instructed Tang Wan to walk backwards and keep still, and said, "Let me introduce the scene. Suppose you are on the side of the road now, and you are Tang Wan."
"That's who I am," Tang Wan muttered softly.
Lu You pretended not to hear and continued: "I am Zhang Zhichuang, you come towards me from that side. Your task is to show me your true reaction, do you understand?"
"understood."
"Okay, let the simulation begin."
Tang Wan took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, walked towards Lu You, and then passed by him without even looking at him.
A string of question marks appeared above Lu You’s head.
"What's your reaction?"
"It's over!"
"You don't say hello when you meet someone you know?"
Tang Wan spread her hands and said as a matter of course: "You said we are acquaintances, but your roommate is not among my acquaintances."
"Then it should be okay to just nod, right?" Lu You held his forehead with his hand.
"If you don't know, don't order it."
Lu You now believed Zhang Zhichuang. Tang Wan's personality was indeed aloof, but she had never shown this coldness to Lu You.
"Do you want to continue acting?"
"No, just start working!"
"Haha, look at sister draining you dry!"
