My Wife Pretends To Be Poor Every Day Ch.6
After buying the digestive medicine, Yu Siling chewed on it as they walked around the neighborhood, hand in hand with Li Yueyun.
They discovered that there were so many delicious snacks in the alley, still bustling even at midnight.
Yu Siling smelled the aroma and instinctively said, “It smells so good.”
“You can’t eat anything else tonight.” Li Yueyun emphasized.
“Hmph.” Yu Siling, thinking about what she should have eaten, got upset. “Next time!”
“Not continuing today?” Li Yueyun asked with regret.
“No, I’m not in the best condition, and I don’t want it to affect the memory of our first time,” Yu Siling replied. She wanted to give Li Yueyun a perfect, unforgettable night, not one filled with hiccups and late-night snacks.
“Hey, there seems to be a market over there,” Yu Siling noticed the vendors packing up, glancing back every few steps. “Ah, wait for me to go back and learn how to cook, then I’ll make something for you.”
“Sure,” Li Yueyun smiled as they reached the bottom of the building, then turned and kissed her on the cheek. “Just don’t overeat next time.”
“I know,” Yu Siling rolled her tongue, opening her mouth to reveal an unfinished digestive tablet. “It’s just about taking medicine, I’ll definitely remember.”
Li Yueyun: “Mainly, it’s about not delaying important matters.”
Yu Siling: “…” Sigh!
As they walked down the hallway, Yu Siling finally finished the digestive tablet, couldn’t help but hum, and took out the box of medicine again: “Hmm? I find this digestive tablet quite tasty, it’s a bit like candy.”
“Candy?”
“Yeah, it’s a little sweet,” Yu Siling said, popping another one into her mouth, as if she had found something delicious, revealing a sweet smile, her dimples filled with joy.
“Really? I don’t believe it.”
“Don’t believe me? Try it yourself,” Yu Siling handed the medicine to her, but suddenly her waist was embraced.
They stood at the corner, familiar scents enveloping her, a soft tongue sweeping away the digestive tablet from her tongue, and after a moment, it was returned.
A digestive tablet passed back and forth between them, Yu Siling’s cheeks burning hot, worried someone might come out and see their actions, not daring to make a sound, the hallway light dimmed.
No one knew they were kissing in this dark corner.
Nor did they know how they finally digested that tablet, until someone opened the door downstairs, triggering the motion-sensor light, and they reluctantly ended their embrace.
When they went to sleep, both were preoccupied, a small desk lamp on, staring at the ceiling.
“Your coworker cleans very thoroughly, even the cobwebs on the ceiling are gone,” Yu Siling said softly.
“Yeah,” Li Yueyun turned to look at her profile, hesitating to speak, “Lingling, will you always like me?”
Yu Siling turned over, her hand by her cheek, looking at her face, very seriously said: “Of course, as long as you like me, I will always like you.”
“What if we have arguments in the future?” Li Yueyun tidied her hair, holding her hand, fingers interlocked, “My original temper was actually quite bad, I’m afraid one day you won’t be able to stand me.”
“Then if you make me angry, just be good, take the initiative, like cooking me a meal tonight, and I’ll forgive you,” Yu Siling curved her lips.
Li Yueyun took her hand: “What if I lie to you for a very important reason, what would you do?”
“Depends on the situation,” Yu Siling said vaguely, “Maybe it’s a sweet lie?”
“Yeah, that makes sense,” Li Yueyun kissed her forehead, “If you ever find out I’ve deceived you, it must be because I love you.”
“Me too,” Yu Siling said, “I think I love you a little more today than yesterday.”
Every day, I love you a little more than the day before.
The next morning, light spilled into the simple rented room, accompanied by the rising and falling conversations from the alley downstairs.
Yu Siling slowly opened her eyes, looking at the person still asleep across from her, immediately feeling in a good mood.
Waking up in the morning to see the person you love, nothing could be happier than this.
Even being late for class and getting criticized couldn’t affect her mood for the whole day!
This morning, Li Yueyun took her to school again. She had just gotten out of the car at Lanxiang’s entrance when she bumped into that classmate from yesterday, Xiao Fang or Xiao Hong.
She greeted her warmly again, ran over and put her arm around her shoulder: “Hey, Xiao Fang!” Then she turned back and waved to Li Yueyun, familiarly walking into the school gate with Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang shook off her hand: “First, my name isn’t Xiao Fang, it’s Chu Yu—hey, don’t run away, listen to me finish!”
Yu Siling ran all the way back to her school, only to be criticized by the physical education teacher again.
In the afternoon, there were only two classes. After school, Tao Shuqin called her: “I’m at the shop, when are you coming over?”
“Right away.”
Yesterday, she had asked Tao Shuqin to go back to the city and drive away that Maserati, sending it to the 4S shop. Since she had some free time today, she decided to go and handle the transaction personally, and also see if there were any other models available.
After getting out of the car, she saw Tao Shuqin waiting at the door, hurriedly ran over with her bag: “Thanks for the hard work, Taozi.”
“Who are we to each other,” Tao Shuqin said as they walked in, “Next week is my birthday, you know what to do.”
“Got it.”
Since it was a big deal, the sales manager came out to discuss the price with her, and they quickly agreed on a selling price, signed the papers, and completed the sale.
The sales manager held the papers, smiling: “Miss Yu, you’re really my benefactor, my performance relies entirely on you. Now that you’ve sold the car, don’t you want to get a new one?”
Yu Siling had the same thought: “Let’s see.”
The three of them looked at almost all the cars in the shop, but Yu Siling didn’t find anything she particularly liked, so she said: “Forget it, I’ll come back another time to look.”
The garage at home had much better models than these, she wasn’t interested at all.
“Hey, wait, I don’t know if you’re interested in second-hand cars? We just got a Porsche yesterday, I remember you mentioned it a couple of times before, saying you wanted one.”
Yu Siling had nothing else to do, so she said: “Then let’s take a look.”
The manager took them to another place, where a black Porsche was parked in the center, its lines smooth, the luster rich.
Yu Siling’s eyes lit up, she went up and touched the body, feeling it was familiar: “When did this car come out?”
“Just yesterday, it was still fresh and hot,” the sales manager introduced the car’s performance. “Although it’s second-hand, it’s been well-maintained, and the designer has already retired. It’s hard to come by the final masterpiece of this designer.”
“I’ll take it,” Yu Siling had been craving it for quite some time.
“Bold move!” The manager grinned from ear to ear. “But as for the price, although it’s second-hand, it’s not much different from the original price.”
“No problem, just calculate how much more I need to pay you.”
While swiping the card, Tao Shuqin suddenly remembered, “Isn’t this the car we saw in the village the other day?”
“Maybe?” Yu Siling said indifferently. “Whatever, now I’m its new owner, and I’ll take good care of it.”
After picking up the car, Yu Siling bid farewell to Tao Shuqin and drove it directly back to the Yu family garage.
She happened to run into her father coming home, so she stayed for dinner and sent a text to Li Yueyun, saying she was having a gathering with classmates.
When Li Yueyun received the text, she was still in the office and decided to work a bit longer. Only when she was starving did she go downstairs to grab a quick bite and take a look around the nearby 4S store.
Many people were looking at cars in the store, and a stylish, young, and beautiful woman was on the phone, speaking in a sweet voice. She accidentally bumped into Li Yueyun while stepping back and turned around to scold her, “Are you blind?”
Li Yueyun’s face darkened, “Do you have a face?”
“How dare you speak like that! So rude!” The woman, seeing Li Yueyun’s stunning looks but simple attire, holding an unfinished convenience store rice ball, rolled her eyes, her fake eyelashes almost falling off. “This isn’t the place for you, don’t wander around like it’s a market, hurry up and leave, everyone’s watching.”
Originally, no one was paying attention, but her loud voice and words made everyone start to gather around.
“A market?” Li Yueyun couldn’t help but laugh while eating. “This is indeed a market.”
I can buy whichever car I want.
The woman crossed her arms, seeing people around watching the scene, she looked at her arrogantly and sneered, “You think this is cheap? Come on, look at this car, do you know how much it costs?”
Li Yueyun glanced at it, “No idea.”
Too low-end, cars under a million aren’t worth remembering.
“Let me tell you, it’s 980,000, you’ll never earn that much in your lifetime,” the woman laughed. “But with your frugal ways, maybe you can squeeze out enough for a tire.”
“Oh,” Li Yueyun took a bite of her rice ball.
“Alright, alright, stop arguing, you’re disturbing everyone’s car shopping,” a bystander couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up to stop the woman’s harassment.
“Yeah, so what if she can’t afford it, she’s not blocking your way.”
“What a nice girl, saving money is nothing wrong, at least she’s a decent person.”
“What do you mean! Who are you calling indecent?” the woman suddenly yelled at the crowd.
Li Yueyun was utterly speechless, turned to leave, but a familiar face walked in through the door. Just as they were about to greet each other, the woman suddenly rushed forward and hugged the newcomer.
“Old Wang, you’re finally here, help me out, everyone here is being mean to me,” the woman cried, holding onto the man.
“Alright, alright, stop crying, I have things to do.”
“What else could you have to do? Hurry up and buy that car for me, they all look down on me!” The woman sobbed, drawing a lot of eye rolls.
“I told you to stop crying!” The man pushed her away, and the woman was so shocked she forgot to fake cry, just stared at him.
At that moment, Li Yueyun greeted, “Director Wang, what a coincidence.”
The woman, hearing this, immediately thought she was a rival trying to take her place, and was about to step up to assert dominance when she saw him smiling warmly at the young and beautiful woman, “Director Li, what are you doing here?”
Director Li?
The woman’s eyes widened slightly, although she didn’t recognize her, she knew that anyone who could make Old Wang respectful was no ordinary person.
“Here to sell a car,” Li Yueyun said.
Sell a car?
The woman immediately felt relieved, maybe she was going bankrupt, selling the car for working capital.
Director Wang: “Which car are you selling? Is it the Porsche?! If so, could you transfer it to me?”
“The manager just texted me saying it’s already sold, I’m just here to take a look,” Li Yueyun said, then glanced at the stunned woman and smiled slightly, “Let’s not chat anymore, wish Director Wang prosperous business and a harmonious family.”
“…” Director Wang glared at the woman.
At that moment, the sales manager who had just finished eating walked in, sensing the odd atmosphere in the store, with most people’s eyes on the woman at the door.
He immediately put on a smile, “Miss Li, you’re truly my benefactor, my performance relies entirely on you. Your car was here for less than a day and was bought at a high price, but don’t you want to switch to a new one?”
“No need.”
“Hey, wait a moment, we just received a Maserati this afternoon, would you like to take a look? I think you’ll really like it,” the manager led her outside, “Look, it’s parked right here.”
The onlookers were excited.
Li Yueyun’s eyebrows moved slightly, “How much?”
“Although it’s second-hand, it’s been well-maintained and looks new. And it’s a limited edition, many people want to buy it but can’t,” the manager described vividly.
“No problem.”
The entire transaction took less than three minutes, and the onlookers couldn’t help but scream, with many turning their gazes to the arrogant woman, who had turned pale.
Li Yueyun had to rush home, called Si Yutong who lived nearby to come and help pick up the car and deliver it to the company.
After swiping the card, she picked up the plastic bag with the rice ball, looked around, and walked up to the woman.
“What… what are you doing?” The woman took a step back in fear.
“Excuse me, please move aside,” Li Yueyun waved her hand.
The woman moved aside slightly.
“Mind your manners, don’t leave bottles lying around everywhere,” Li Yueyun picked up the mineral water bottle behind her, unscrewed the cap, and crushed it with her bare hands.
The woman suspected she was warning her, that her fate might be like that bottle, crushed in her palm, meeting an untimely end.
The next moment, Li Yueyun raised her hand. The woman instinctively closed her eyes, expecting a slap, but instead heard a rustling sound.
She opened her eyes to see Li Yueyun toss the bottle stylishly into a plastic bag, then walk out of the store.
“What was she doing?” The woman ran over to Old Wang and asked, her eyes fixed on Li Yueyun’s retreating figure.
Then everyone watched as the woman who had just spent millions in minutes, carrying a plastic bag, rode off on a shabby bicycle, leaving behind a carefree and unrestrained silhouette.
The woman: “……?”
Everyone: “………….”
