The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 210 Testing Medicine
There was no movement behind the gauze curtain for a long time before a languid voice finally came from behind, "Why would I punish you? Did Manager Shang send you back with a message?"

Manager Zhong bowed and reported, "Manager Shang asked me to convey her gratitude to you."

"Thank you?" the young man scoffed, poured himself another glass of wine, and slowly brought it to his lips.

Manager Zhong said, "Manager Shang is hosting a banquet at Qionghua Restaurant the day after tomorrow. Please do not miss it."

Qionghua Restaurant is the restaurant owned by Qiao Yugui.

The room fell silent instantly, as wisps of smoke rose slowly from the bronze incense burner, filling the room with a rich floral fragrance.

Manager Zhong stood up silently, but his head remained bowed, his posture respectful.

The languid voice came again from behind the gauze curtain, "Any news from the capital?"

"No."

"No, there is." The young man repeated, emphasizing each word, his knuckles tapping the table as he muttered to himself, "How could there not be?"

After a moment, Steward Zhong heard the person behind the gauze curtain say, "If there's nothing, then so be it. Report back immediately if there's any news."

Steward Zhong hurriedly replied, "Yes."

"Tell Manager Shang that I will go."

"Yes."

The room fell silent for a moment before the young man's voice rang out again, "What has Chu Wujiu been doing lately?"

"Young Master Chu is looking for someone to paint a picture of him walking in the snow."

Intrigued, the young man shifted his position on the soft couch and asked, "Have you found anyone?"

"Found him. He's a scholar named Lu." Manager Zhong looked up at the figure vaguely visible behind the gauze curtain. "He's Manager Shang's husband."

"Ha." The young man was somewhat surprised. "What a coincidence."

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is this Scholar Lu the same Young Master Lu who was removed from the Lu family genealogy but passed the imperial examination at the young age of thirteen?"

"Exactly."

"Tsk tsk, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon." The young man shook his head dismissively. "Lu Mingsheng's brain must have been kicked by a donkey."

Manager Zhong kept his eyes down and remained silent, offering no comment on the matter.

The young man said, "Go and tell Chu Wujiu that I will invite him to dinner at Qionghua Restaurant the day after tomorrow."

Manager Zhong knew his master wanted to have some fun, so he didn't ask any further questions and replied, "Yes."

As evening approached, Shang Wan paid Wu Kai his wages for the day and handed him a box of ointment.

"This ointment can fade scars, take it home and try it."

Wu Kai's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at the box but did not reach out to take it.

He had bought countless creams that claimed to remove scars, but none of them worked.

The doctor said it was an old scar that couldn't be faded by ointment and told him not to waste his money.

"I won't charge you." Shang Wan directly shoved the ointment box into his hand. "You just need to work hard for me, and after the scars fade, help me spread the word to the neighbors."

Is there such a good thing?

Wu Kai's eyes widened slightly. "Manager Shang, are you serious?"

“Of course.” Shang Wan explained the use of the ointment to him, “After washing your face, apply it to the scars. Don’t apply too much, just a thin layer. You’ll see results in less than three days.”

Wu Kai didn't believe that it would be effective in three days, but seeing Shang Wan's confident appearance, he felt a glimmer of hope.

What if?
What if this ointment really works on the scars on his face?

If he has no scars on his face, or the scars are faint and not so scary, there will definitely be girls willing to marry him.

He longed for a life with his wife, children, and a warm bed!

"Thank you." Wu Kai said, holding the ointment box. Whether it was useful or not, at least the person meant well.

"No need to thank me. I'll thank you in return if you help me promote it." Shang Wan waved her hand and instructed, "You don't need to eat breakfast at home tomorrow. Just go to the restaurant next door. I've asked the owner to prepare it for you."

Hearing this, not only Wu Kai, but even his two nephews couldn't help but sigh that Manager Shang was truly a good person. Watching the three of them leave, Xiao Huan turned to Shang Wan, "Sister, let's go back too. Brother-in-law and the others must be getting impatient."

Shang Wan nodded, bent down and patted Xiao Hei's head, "Guard the shop well. If any thieves break in, bite them. If they hurt you, it's on me."

The little black dog barked like a human and wagged its tail at Shang Wan.

Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand and waved at it, "See you tomorrow, doggy."

"Wang!"

·
"You're back!" Stone, standing on the hillside, saw the oxcart and waved excitedly. He and Little Gray ran over to greet it.

Little Grey hoisted Roundy onto its back and carried the little baby home at breakneck speed.

Yuan Yuan blinked her big eyes blankly, her face stinging from the night wind that blew in her face, making her little tufts of hair all messed up.

A man in blue stood at the entrance of the courtyard; he was tall and elegant, with a smile in his eyes.

Round eyes lit up, and she called out in a clear voice, "Daddy!"

"Yes." Lu Chengjing responded, bending down to lift the baby off the gray wolf's back. "Did you miss Daddy?"

"Yes!" the little baby answered loudly, nodding his head vigorously.

The oxcart stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Shang Wan and the others jumped off the oxcart.

Shi Tou reached out and took Yuan Yuan from Lu Chengjing's arms, carrying her inside. As they walked, he chatted with Yuan Yuan, "Uncle went into the mountains today and picked some red berries. I saved them for you and Anian. They're especially sweet, you'll definitely like them."

Yuanyuan obediently hugged Uncle Stone's neck and called for her older brother to come along so they could see the sweet fruit together.

Xiao Huan, preoccupied with cooking, asked, "Brother-in-law, have you and Shi Tou eaten yet?"

Lu Chengjing: "Shi Tou cooked two dishes, waiting for you to come back so we can eat together."

"Then I'll make another soup." Xiao Huan said this and hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Outside the courtyard, only Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing remained. Shang Wan smiled at Lu Chengjing and said, "Why are you staring at me like that? Don't you recognize me?"

Lu Chengjing shook his head and went over to help hold the oxcart.

“You didn’t come back last night. I wanted to go look for you, but the city gates were already closed.”

"worry about me?"

Lu Chengjing nodded and asked, "What happened last night?"

Shang Wan briefly recounted the events, specifically mentioning Zhong Li's apology gift delivered to his door, and concluded by saying, "I feel like he's a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—he has ulterior motives."

"Perhaps." Lu Chengjing pursed his lips, his brows furrowing.

Seeing his serious expression, Shang Wan also abandoned her joking mood and asked seriously, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Chengjing looked up at her, his lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Shang Wan was so anxious that she reached out and pinched his cheek, urging him, "Hurry up and tell me."

Lu Chengjing bent down slightly, making it easier for Shang Wan to knead him.

He glanced down at Shang Wan's attire and asked softly, "Does Boss Zhong know that your wife is already taken?"

Shang Wan: "???"

Shang Wan: "..."

She withdrew her hand, rolled her eyes at the person in front of her, and said, "What nonsense are you thinking?"

She already has a child, how could Zhong Li not know that she is married?

Moreover, that guy is a bit crazy, and his actions cannot be judged by normal standards.

She raised her hand and poked Lu Chengjing's chest, "Be confident, you're better looking than Boss Zhong."

Lu Chengjing: "..."

So, does it still come down to looks?
