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

Chapter 96 Hiring a Wolf
"That's definitely a lie," Ah Le said. "How could Young Master Lu possibly be afraid—"

“Not out of fear,” Lu Chengjing said, “but out of respect.”

He slowly recounted his encounter with Yan Rui and his group at the woodworking workshop that day.

Upon hearing that the student who had spoken rudely had been beaten, Qiao Yu'an clapped her hands with delight and, unusually, praised Shang Wan, saying, "Well done!"

Ah Le clicked his tongue in surprise. How come he never realized Shang Wan knew martial arts before?
Pushing the wheelchair up the slope, Qiao Yu'an looked back at the village and sighed, "Why do you all live so far away from the village? If something happens, there's no one to help you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a gray wolf came galloping around the wooden shed in front of him, scaring the ewe so much that she took off running. Ah Le couldn't hold her back at all. "Ah! Young master, save me!"

Qiao Yu'an quickly turned around to help pull the rope tighter, shouting, "Don't run after me! Pull me back!"

"Baa~" The ewe kicked Ah Le behind her with one hoof. Ah Le tightened her grip on the rope and reflexively closed her eyes. Before she even felt the pain, she cried out, "Ah—hmm?"

Why doesn't it hurt?

"what!"

I was suddenly hit on the head, but it definitely wasn't a sheep kicking me!

Ah Le immediately opened his eyes and saw a beautiful figure standing in front of him, holding the ewe's hind leg with one hand and pressing the ewe's back with the other.

The ewe's hind legs twitched, but she couldn't overcome the strength of the hand that was holding her. In the end, she had no choice but to reluctantly give in and submit.

"Mea~"

"Good sheep, good sheep." Shang Wan praised with a smile, her little one's food had finally arrived.

Qiao Yu'an rubbed his eyes hard. Could this woman fly? How did she get here so fast?
"Sweetie, come here and get familiar with the food." Shang Wan picked up Yuan Yuan and placed her on the ewe's back, only letting go after the little one was settled.

Because it was a gift, the ewe was washed very clean by the people of the village.

Ah Le couldn't help but warn, "This sheep can bite."

"It's alright." Shang Wan said in a relaxed tone, "If it dares to open its mouth, I'll stew it."

The words carried a hint of menace, and the ewe seemed to tremble slightly, but when Ah Le looked again, it seemed like an illusion.

"Sheep!" Yuan Yuan stretched out her chubby little hands and hugged the mother sheep's neck, nuzzling her. A glint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she uttered a single word, "Let's go!"

To Ale's astonishment, the ewe actually carried Yuanyuan towards the wooden shed.

As the ewe passed the gray wolf, she circled in a semi-circle, her fear evident in her hesitant steps.

Qiao Yu'an's attention was completely on Xiao Hui, and he praised, "This dog is really handsome."

Lu Chengjing: "..."

My friend's eyes are probably best discarded.

Qiao Yu'an squatted down, extended his palm upwards in front of Xiao Hui, "Come on, shake hands."

Little Grey glanced at him, a cold light flashing in its green wolf eyes.

"Still green eyes, really..." Qiao Yu'an paused in her praise, then thought, wait, do dogs have green eyes?
It has green eyes and looks like a dog; it seems to be...

At the same time, Shang Wan's voice rang out eerily, "This is a wolf."

"It really is a wolf..." Qiao Yu'an's pupils contracted, and she jumped three feet high. "A wolf!!!"

He stumbled upon landing, instantly losing his balance and about to roll down the hillside.

As expected, Shang Wan reached out and tugged at his belt, then slammed it down next to Ah Le.

Ah Le reached out to help someone, but was knocked backward. In his haste, he grabbed Qiao Yu'an's pants.

"Tear--"

Qiao Yu'an was feeling dizzy when a gust of wind blew and she suddenly felt a chill on her legs.

He glanced down and saw two long, white legs...

"what!!!"

"what!!!"

The screams of the mistress and servant rang out simultaneously. Qiao Yu'an blushed with embarrassment, hurriedly pulled up her pants, and looked at Shang Wan in a panic.

Shang Wan very consciously turned her head to the side, ignoring the constantly shrugging shoulders, and acted as usual.

She swore she never expected Qiao Yu'an's pants to be pulled down.

She gripped the armrests of her wheelchair and chuckled incessantly. Seeing that she was struggling to hold it in, Lu Chengjing said helplessly, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Yu'an won't hold it against you."

"Pfft hahaha!"

Qiao Yu'an: "..."

You've forgotten all your friends because of your looks! We're cutting ties!
"Young Master, thankfully the robe is long enough," Ah Le said as he helped Qiao Yu'an fasten his belt. "I advised you not to use this belt, but you wouldn't listen, saying you were used to it. Now you regret it, don't you?"

A vein bulged on Qiao Yu'an's forehead. "Shut up!"

Ah Le pursed his lips and tightened his belt to prevent his young master from embarrassing himself again.

After finally finishing tidying up, seeing Shang Wan still laughing, Qiao Yu'an said unhappily, "Have you laughed enough?"

"No." Shang Wan thought of white radishes whenever she thought of Qiao Yu'an's legs, and for some reason, she just wanted to laugh and couldn't stop.

Worried that she would laugh herself sick, Lu Chengjing placed his left hand on the back of Shang Wan's hand and patted it gently, then called out helplessly, "Wife."

"Just a little longer." Shang Wan smiled for a moment before taking a deep breath and slowly calming her breathing until it returned to normal.

Qiao Yu'an walked over with a sour face, glancing sideways at her exceptionally rosy smiling face.

That woman will gloat!
Shang Wan pretended not to see his sour face and pushed the wheelchair forward, saying, "Let's go, Xiao Huan has already brewed the herbal tea."

Little Grey got up and followed, its tail occasionally brushing against Shang Wan's clothes, looking docile.

Qiao Yu'an looked at Little Grey, his curiosity burning like a cat scratching at his heart. He took a few steps forward, "Chengjing, where did this wolf come from?"

Lu Chengjing hesitated whether he should tell the truth, but Shang Wan admitted it herself: "I hired her."

"Hiring?" Qiao Yu'an looked at Shang Wan suspiciously. "I've only ever heard of hiring a cat, not a wolf?"

Shang Wan was not spurred on, and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Qiao Yu'an: "..."

Is it so hard to tell him where they were hired from?
Keeping a wolf is much more prestigious than keeping a dog, and he wants to hire an alpha wolf to keep!

But he felt awkward about asking Shang Wan in a huff.

He turned around and winked at Ah Le, signaling him to quickly ask!

Ah Le and her young master had some tacit understanding, and Ah Le said knowingly, "Young Madam, where did you hire the wolf? My young master wants to hire one too."

Qiao Yu'an: The last sentence is completely unnecessary!
"Over there." Shang Wan pointed to the continuous forest. "The method is simple: find a wolf den, pick whichever wolf you like, and run away. As long as you can outrun it, the wolves won't bite you, and you've successfully hired them."

Master and servant: "..."

Qiao Yu'an felt that Shang Wan was playing him, so he took the opportunity to badmouth Shang Wan in front of Lu Chengjing, saying, "Listen to this, she doesn't even blink when she makes up lies."

“He blinked,” Lu Chengjing said calmly. “I saw it.”

Qiao Yu'an: "..."

Has my friend been bewitched by this woman?
He got to the point: "So, you also think she's making things up?"

Lu Chengjing denied it without blinking, "No, I believe whatever my wife says."

Qiao Yu'an, who was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection),

He said angrily, "Lu Chengjing, you've changed! You weren't like this before!"

Lu Chengjing remained unmoved. "So what?"

"I..." Qiao Yu'an closed his eyes and said with a desperate air, "I also want to hire a wolf pack!"

Shang Wan was speechless. So, after all that beating around the bush, this was the key point.
