Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

Ying Yuchuan discovered another side of his young wife.

She's very good at nagging people.

She pleaded and begged, cried and begged, looking pitiful—of course, it was all an act; she would never actually cry.

He was worn down once again and lost his principles, finally giving in and asking the chef to make her a cup of fruit tea.

After finishing half a cup of fruit tea, she let out a long sigh.

"I'm finally alive again."

Ying Yuchuan almost laughed.

Was she a corpse before?

What kind of weird and wonderful things are in this guy's head?

Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Luozhi's high fever has mostly subsided, but she is still very weak.

Ying Yuchuan has been taking care of her almost personally these past two days, without relying on anyone else.

Lu Luozhi saw all of his meticulous care.

When she realized she was delirious from her illness, he held her hand and gently told her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

How can there be such a good man?

She used to like a saying: "If you're not strong, who will you show your weakness to?"

But now, can she, can she loosen her hedgehog-like armor and reveal her true self, that vulnerable self, to him?

After lunch, seeing that he was taking care of her while also handling company matters online, she felt a little guilty and advised him:

"Why don't you go back to the company and get busy? Don't worry about me."

Ying Yuchuan looked up from in front of the computer.

"It's just a small matter."

He spoke in a nonchalant tone, and took her hands in his, examining the wounds on them.

He was satisfied to see that the scabs had formed.

"Don't make it bleed again."

Actually, he's very busy, really busy. Recently, the artificial intelligence project he's in charge of is nearing completion, and he spends his days reviewing the data and progress reports sent by the research lab, as well as other work.

The Ying family's companies are located both domestically and internationally, covering various industries, from real estate, finance, healthcare, and education in the past to new energy and artificial intelligence now. There are countless things he has to deal with.

He could have easily handed her over to the family's servants to take care of, but he didn't want to.

He didn't want to leave her to be cared for by someone else when she was sick and needed companionship the most, because of his work.

This is wrong.

Just like his father, whenever his mother was unwell, he would personally take care of her at home, bringing her medicine and water, and keeping her company.

As her husband, he was the only person she could rely on here.

He didn't want to disappoint her.

He also wanted her to see that her reliance was worthwhile, that he was there for her, that she didn't need to pretend to be strong, and that she could freely express her vulnerability.

He also wanted to tell her that she wasn't alone; she still had him.

"Go bask in the sun in the yard, I'll be busy for a while longer."

He called Xiaofen over and asked her to move a deck chair to a sunny spot in the yard so she could sunbathe. He also prepared some snacks for her.

So, Xiaofen forcibly pulled her down onto that recliner.

"Young Madam, you're not fully recovered yet. Lie down quickly; this spot is comfortable for sunbathing."

From where she was sitting, she could see Ying Yuchuan busy at his desk by the window in the room, just by tilting her gaze slightly to the side.

He wore black-rimmed glasses and loungewear. His short, unkempt hair had a few strands falling across his full forehead. His handsome, strong features lost some of their seriousness under his casual attire. His focused and earnest demeanor was quite charming.

As she watched, Lu Luozhi became completely engrossed.

Such a top-notch, high-quality man is actually her husband?

A month ago, if someone had said that to her, she would have thought that person was crazy.

Doesn't she know what conditions Lu Luozhi has?

It's already good enough to find someone handsome, let alone high-quality?

But now, hehe... Lu Luozhi chuckled foolishly.

How lucky she is!

Just then, the sound of footsteps shattered her daydream.

It was Yuan Sangrou.

She ran in, wiping away tears as she asked her in a choked voice.

"Sister-in-law, can I stop tutoring Lu Mingshi?"

Lu Luozhi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yuan Sangrou kept crying, "Lu Mingshi is so stupid, I really can't teach him anymore, he doesn't even know the simplest algebra."

She had been teaching him for several hours, and he had made her so angry that she cried, which is why she came to find him.

She simply couldn't teach him anymore.

For the first time, Yuan Sangrou realized that it was incredibly difficult for a student to get even a mere twenty points.

Lu Luozhi felt somewhat ashamed.

How could her stupid younger brother make such a nice girl so angry?

"Is he really that stupid?"

She asked the question somewhat hesitantly.

Yuan Sangrou accused him, "Last time he even wrote that the author of 'Song of Everlasting Regret' was Jiro Wang."

"..."

Lu Luozhi really wanted to slap that bastard to death.

So all the lessons she taught before were wasted?

Rubbing her weak forehead, Lu Luozhi felt that her illness seemed to have worsened.
