Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Mingxi, who had been saying on WeChat that he couldn't sleep without Chu Yu, happily drank the honey water and fell asleep as soon as the other person agreed to come back to be with him the next day. His sleep quality was comparable to that of a baby.

The next day, unusually, I didn't stay in bed. After getting dressed up, I went out for brunch, and after eating, I started shopping. Shopping is really a great way to digest food.

After a tiring day of shopping, Mingxi would get a full-body massage and then drive home in his sports car, humming a tune. He couldn't help but sigh at how busy his day had been!

But this busy day wasn't over yet; he still had to make soup for Brother Chu, a new recipe he'd learned from his mother: hawthorn and lily bulb soup with duck.

Ever since Mingxi confessed his relationship with Chu Yu to his parents, Ye Wenya would occasionally teach him some love tips.

She also harshly criticized his habit of repeatedly making the same soup for Chu Yu, saying, "Are you planning to make the same soup for the rest of your life?! There's no variety at all!"

After venting his frustrations, he taught Mingxi a new recipe, tailored to the current season, and instructed him to brew it for Chu Yu.

The ducks were cleaned by the staff when they were purchased and cut into appropriately sized pieces according to Mingxi's request.

Mingxi only needs to blanch the duck pieces and wash them, and then wash the lily bulbs, hawthorn berries, and red dates.

Then put everything into a soup pot and simmer for about 2 hours. Just add a little salt before drinking. It's super simple and quick.

As for dinner, he naturally ordered takeout from his old partner, "Wan Huachun".

After setting the soup pot, ordering takeout, and getting everything ready, Mingxi went to the home theater she had recently set up. She lay on the massage bed, watching a movie while waiting for Chu Yu to come home.

After a busy day, Chu Yu sat down at the dining table and looked at the dishes in front of him, which were a good mix of meat and vegetables and clearly suited his dietary preferences.

Mingxi, who was serving him soup and bustling around, couldn't help but smile.

Although Mingxi often liked to pester him with childish things and make many demands, he had to admit that he was always very considerate towards him, and he quite liked the way Mingxi always revolved around him.

"Brother Chu, you should try this hawthorn and lily duck soup. The weather is dry now, and drinking this can help to conserve yang energy, nourish yin and moisten dryness, aid digestion and calm the mind. It's especially good for your health."

Mingxi rattled off the words she'd heard from Ye Wenya, placed the soup bowl on the table in front of Chu Yu, and then sat down beside him.

Then she stared at Chu Yu expectantly, waiting for his praise.

Chu Yu picked up the soup bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then savored the taste.

"How is it? How is it? Delicious, right?!"

"Very good. The soup has a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors. You can taste the freshness of the duck meat, the sweet and sour taste of the hawthorn, the delicate sweetness of the lily bulbs, and the fragrant sweetness of the red dates all coming together. You really have a talent for making soup."

Chu Yu gave a rating comparable to that of a food connoisseur. Although it sounded a bit official, Ming Xi loved hearing it.

"Hahaha! I knew it, Brother Chu~ Drink a few more bowls, it's good for your health." Saying that, he picked up a bowl and filled another big bowl for Chu Yu.

After finishing their meal, the two did some light exercise.

Chu Yu hated the sticky feeling, so he immediately went to take a shower after he was done, while Ming Xi continued to lie on the bed, wanting to rest for a while longer.

Just as he was holding his phone, browsing through various brands to see if any new models had been released, he received a strange text message.

When Mingxi first heard the text message notification, she thought it was some kind of brand membership activity notification, mobile points text message, or bank text message, since these days nobody sends text messages anymore.

Mingxi had intended to just click away casually, but the content above made her frown.

167*****549: I have intimate photos of you and your sugar daddy. I wonder if you'd be willing to spend a little money to buy them back? If not, I'll just have to release them to entertain the public and earn some traffic fees.

What the hell?! Where does he have a sugar daddy?! These days, scam text messages are so low-level, Mingxi complained and blocked him immediately.

When Chu Yu came out of the bathroom, he saw Ming Xi lying on the bed, holding her phone and muttering to herself, seemingly doing something.

He assumed Mingxi had gone to another bathroom to shower, so why was she still lying there? He couldn't help but frown. "Aren't you going to take a shower? Aren't you uncomfortable all sticky and uncomfortable?"

Hearing him say that, Mingxi threw her phone down, slumped onto the bed, and sprawled out like a cat. "I don't have the strength, carry me to the bathroom~"

"I just asked you if you wanted to come along, and you said no. Now you want me to carry you to the shower?"

"I was feeling weak just now~ Besides, it's all because of you. Are you disgusted with me? You won't even carry me to take a bath?!"

After saying that, he looked at Chu Yu with his big eyes, accusing him, and curled up into a ball like a wounded kitten.

Chu Yu could only sigh helplessly. Oh well! All that washing was for nothing.

She walked to the bedside, opened her arms, and said, "Come here, let me help you take another shower."

"Yay! Honey, you're the best to me." The weak and helpless kitten vanished instantly. Mingxi nimbly climbed onto Chu Yu and was happily carried to the bathroom to take a bath.

......

"Brother Wei, how much do you think is a reasonable price to sell those photos to Mingxi? How about 500,000?" The ordinary-looking young man wearing a baseball cap excitedly asked the man with slanted eyes next to him.

Hu Wei glanced at him disdainfully, "Look at you, so pathetic. How can 500,000 be enough? I told you to do your homework beforehand, but you didn't."

"Although Mingxi is a minor celebrity, his sugar daddy is really rich! Putting aside his status as the second young master of Shenghong Group, he also owns the currently popular Burger King."

"I know Burger King! My girlfriend loves it, but there's always a queue," Qi Mao said excitedly.

Hu Wei was speechless again. What an idiot! If it weren't for the fact that he was his cousin, this kind of moron wouldn't be allowed into his studio.

Actually, the photos of Mingxi and Chuyu were taken by accident. The second son of their studio originally wanted to photograph a certain top-tier, innocent female star who was suspected of having a child out of wedlock and who was rumored to be raising the child in Paris.

They didn't manage to film the top star, but they did manage to film Mingxi instead. "Thanks to Kong Rui," Mingxi happened to be a frequent visitor to the trending topics during those days. The two of them, thinking they couldn't leave empty-handed, followed the two of them for several days.

Those few days made Erzi extremely envious, watching them go to all sorts of high-end restaurants and buy luxury goods as if they were free.

While filming, he secretly resolved that he had to make Hu Wei ask Mingxi for more money. He had made so much, so they, his "colleagues," should also benefit from it.

"But, Wei-ge, what if Mingxi doesn't give it to you? If it gets out, just say you're dating, and you can even create some buzz. Didn't Xin Xin post her bed photos with the rich second-generation on Weibo before?"

"You're so stupid, you really don't use your brain! Look at what Xin Xin has become! She's married to the mother of the female lead in a Douyin short drama."

"Mingxi dares not give it to him! If the photos are leaked and the Lin family finds out, will he still be as carefree as he is now? If he had any brains, he should know that he and the Second Young Master Lin should keep their affair a secret."

"Cousin, you're amazing!" Qi Mao looked at Hu Wei with admiration.

"Alright, stop acting like a fool. Remember to learn and observe more in the future. Since your aunt has entrusted you to me, I won't expect you to become rich and famous, but I'll make sure you earn money, as long as you behave well."

"Cousin, I'll do whatever you say."
