Chapter 20: Oh Dear, Who Has Fallen into Whose Hands!

“Don’t worry, money is not an issue. Whatever you want to do, I will fully support you!”

Luo Yunhe had come to discuss this matter with him, and as for the money, she would find other ways to handle it.

She hadn’t expected Su Jingxuan not only to oppose it but to wholeheartedly support her; waves of emotion stirred deep within her heart.

“Husband, thank you!” Luo Yunhe cupped his face and planted a deep kiss on his cheek before happily lying down.

Su Jingxuan was dumbfounded, his cheeks flushing red, his heart pounding wildly.

Even being kissed and fed by her sent shivers of delight through him.

He had been kissed by his own little wife.

The joy was almost overwhelming.

When he finally regained his composure, she was already sound asleep beside him.

Su Jingxuan gave a wry smile and lay down beside her.

Late at night.

Su Jingxuan was awakened by the aching in his arm.

His injured arm, struck by a stick earlier, throbbed relentlessly, and now, deep into the night, the pain made it impossible for him to sleep.

But seeing his little wife sleeping so peacefully beside him, he couldn’t bear to disturb her. Gritting his teeth, he simply stared at her.

It seemed that just by looking at her, a serene sense of peace washed over him.

His deep eyes were filled with affection for this little woman before him.

“Xiao Yunhe, we’re finally together at last.” He reached out and gently caressed her cheek.

His touch was tender, overflowing with love.

The pain in his body kept him awake. Only after the first light of dawn appeared did he push himself up and quietly leave the room.

Instinctively, he wanted to prepare breakfast before leaving, but upon seeing the kitchen, he sighed in helplessness and quickly took his things and left home.

Luo Yunhe was awakened in the morning by delicious aromas.

When she got up, Su Jingxuan was already gone.

In the kitchen, Su Chen was cooking, and it seemed to be meat dishes.

Luo Yunhe’s mouth watered instantly.

Back in the 21st century, was there anything she couldn’t eat? But now, having come here, she found herself ravenously craving food. No, it was this body that was ravenous.

While busy in the kitchen, Su Chen suddenly heard a muffled moan outside and looked around slyly, her eyes filled with malice.

“Ugh, you wretched woman, you want to eat the food my mother cooked? Dream on!” Though her voice was low, her attitude was extremely hostile.

Luo Yunhe knew well that Su Chen would never cook for her.

She rolled her eyes, wondering how she could get a bite of breakfast since Su Jingxuan wasn’t there and these people would never let her eat.

Yet, when Su Chen finished cooking and brought all the dishes to the main hall, she didn’t spare her a single glance.

Luo Yunhe had intended to brazenly barge in and eat anyway.

But unexpectedly, Su Ruyi appeared shortly after, carrying a bowl of porridge and a dish, and upon seeing Luo Yunhe, came right over and placed the food in front of her.

“Here, take this. Don’t go around telling people our family is harsh with you.”

“From now on, behave yourself. Father and mother are old and can’t handle your antics. Besides, I am Su Jingxuan’s sister and your sister-in-law. It’s not right for you to keep fighting with us.”

“After all, we are family now, and family should live in harmony. As long as you don’t go too far, we won’t treat you badly either.” With that, Su Ruyi turned and left.

Luo Yunhe stared at the porridge and dishes in her hands, which contained quite a lot of meat. Her brows twitched.

Normally, she would be delighted that Su Ruyi had taken the initiative to bring her food, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that it was like a weasel paying respects to a chicken—nothing good would come of it.

Besides, Su Ruyi’s sudden change in attitude was just too unnatural. Especially since Su Chen had just been cursing her quietly not long ago. How could she suddenly have her daughter bring her food?

It had to be a trap, definitely a trap…

But, the food was tempting.

Luo Yunhe’s eyes darted about, and a cunning plan formed in her mind.

“Thank you, sister-in-law. I didn’t expect you to be so kind. From now on, I promise I won’t act out. We’re family now, and family shouldn’t fight. We should get along well!”

Who couldn’t speak kindly? Luo Yunhe was no exception. After saying this, she took the two bowls and walked away.

At the doorway, Su Chen and Su Ruyi exchanged glances, both peering suspiciously toward the next room.

“Mother, it worked!”

“Ugh, that wretched little bitch, today I’ll deal with her!”

“Mother, we must get a good price for her. I want a pretty hair ornament!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll buy it for you!”

While they spoke, Luo Yunhe circled around behind them and slipped quickly into the main hall.

She swapped the contents of the bowls at lightning speed, then quietly circled back behind them.

Back in her room, she devoured the swapped food and, once finished, smashed the bowls on the floor before collapsing onto the bed, unconscious.

Hearing the crash, Su Chen and Su Ruyi rushed to her door.

Peering through the crack, they saw Luo Yunhe passed out on the bed, with the food in the bowls completely eaten.

“That damned little bitch, she’s finally in my hands!”

“Mother, let’s not worry about her now. Let’s eat first, then send her away. After that, we’ll…”

“Yes, yes!”

The mother and daughter turned and headed toward the main hall.

Not long after they left, Luo Yunhe opened her eyes and looked at the bowls and chopsticks before her. She knew Su Ruyi couldn’t be so kind.

Since they had such intentions, she would play along with their game.

In the main hall, the three family members sat eating the dishes before them.

The meat in the bowls was plentiful, and they ate greedily, their mouths dripping with grease.

“Mother, Father, from now on, we can eat meat every day. Let our eldest brother earn money hunting in the mountains. We’ll have more meat than we can eat!” Su Ruyi said, her mouth full.

“Yes, after we finish eating, I’ll have someone come and get that damned girl. We must sell her for a good price!” Su Shan was in good spirits, having already drunk two bowls of porridge and eaten plenty of dishes.

Luo Yunhe waited quietly outside the door.

Only when the sounds inside ceased did she snap her fingers and smile as she entered the main hall.

“Well, well, who really has the upper hand now?”
