Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 290: 1 Step Back to the Period before Liberation

The dinner ended much faster than expected.

Since Lu Jinan had been drinking, He Xi naturally drove everyone back home. When they came back, he closed the door behind him, and then the door was slammed shut.

He Xi was startled by the sudden loud noise behind him. He stayed beside her for a moment, thinking something and touched her hair, saying as he used to, "touching hair won't scare people," but he obediently put his hand back into his suit trouser pocket.

"You scared me." He Xi expressed dissatisfaction with his behavior.

Lu Jinan casually took off his leather shoes and put them aside, then put on his slippers: "Why, are you scared now? I haven't seen you show fear when facing death."

"How do you know I'm not afraid?" He Xi also changed into slippers and put his leather shoes on the shoe rack and straightened them out.

Lu Jinan suddenly became even angrier: "You know you're afraid, but you still do things that hurt yourself? You don't have to save people, are you a saint? Can't you share some of your love with me?"

"I……"

Lu Jinan didn't want to listen to He Xi's lies anymore, so he went upstairs and entered his independent space.

There was a strong wind blowing outside, making a whistling sound. Although they were indoors and the heater was on, He Xi felt that there was a coldness between Lu Jinan's brows. He was not like this before.

Does this really prove the saying: If you get something, you won’t cherish it.

Maybe her elder brother was right, it was too early to get married. Late marriage and late childbirth are the key to a high-quality life.

Thinking this way, but doing it this way is different.

She couldn't enter the space now, nor could she use it, but fortunately the system was still usable. He Xi looked up the recipe for the hangover soup on it.

The girl was wearing her own apron and was busy in the kitchen alone, looking a little lonely.

In He Xi's mind, things like hangover soup only exist in novels or TV dramas, or in the circles of wealthy people that she envied. She didn't expect that she is making it now.

"Knock knock."

"Lu..." He Xi immediately changed the subject, "Hubby, I'll make some hangover soup for you to drink. This way you'll feel better."

He Xi stood at the door, waiting for Lu Jinan to open it. In fact, she could have gone in, but he was angry, so it was not good to go in directly. What if he didn't want to see her?

What nonsense are you talking about? How could he not want to see you? It's obviously you who don't have the courage to look him in the eye. He threw his sincerity to the dogs, and you degrade yourself like this for others.

Lu Jinan lay on the bed quietly listening to He Xi calling him, but because he was angry he didn't want to make a sound.

He thought that if she pushed the door open directly, he would say coldly: Put down your things and you can leave. I still hope that the owner of the house will give me some private space.

As a result, He Xi did not push the door open, nor did he continue to knock on the door. Did he leave?

Lu Jinan walked barefoot hurriedly to the door and opened it, and found He Xi standing there blankly with something in his hand.

Lu Jinan was handsome to begin with, and now that he had drunk some wine and was angry, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and his fair face was also red, which was very attractive.

He Xi said nothing and handed the tray of hangover soup to Lu Jinan.

He Xi didn't dare to look up and look at him, her eyes could only look at his body. He was wearing pajamas, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood and was too lazy to button his clothes, but his overly attractive muscle lines were still pleasing to the eye.

"Why aren't you wearing slippers?" He Xi stuffed the topper into Lu Jinan's hand, slipped under his armpit into the bedroom, and put the slippers at his feet. "I know you men have a lot of yang energy and fire, but it's winter and you have to take care of yourself."

She also said that she didn't really love her own life. Wasn't he the same? They were the same. Why was she angry?

He looked at He Xi, who still hadn't put on her slippers. He Xi urged him, "Put on your shoes. What's wrong with you? Have you drunk too much and are you numb?"

He still didn't wear shoes. He picked up the bowl of hangover soup and gulped it down. He stuffed the tray back into He Xi's hands and said with his thin lips: "It's getting late. I need to rest."

He kicked his shoes into the bedroom and the door was slammed shut. He Xi looked at the door, stared at the tray in his hand, cursed under his breath, and turned away angrily.

He Xi left, Lu Jinan opened the door and came out, staring at the empty corridor in a daze. The doors of the two bedrooms were facing each other, and he could see that the light in He Xi's bedroom was still on. After all, she was used to sleeping without light in winter. Is she still busy?

There will be no sleep tonight.

Lu Jinan simply leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through the documents in his hand, looking lazy.

He Xi was also very busy, and the system told her about her current situation.

The system is temporarily available, but it cannot be used to purchase large items, and you cannot participate in limited-time flash sales.

The space cannot be used. However, there are two ways to use it again. One is to pay a deposit of one million, and the other is to wait for the system to re-evaluate it. Once the evaluation is completed, you can use it again.

To put it bluntly, we have lost the initiative and are now in a passive situation.

Fortunately, the gold, silver and jewelry stored in the space still belonged to He Xi, but one million was indeed a bit expensive. She still had to pay for the child's incubator, and there was nothing big to buy at the moment, so she might as well save some money for the time being.

The relationship between He Xi and Lu Jinan seemed to have returned to what it was before overnight, and He Xi's system also returned to what it was before. After working so hard for so long, why did everything return to the starting point?

He Xi is a contradictory person who can't handle interpersonal relationships, so she simply stopped bothering Lu Jinan until he calmed down.

After washing up, He Xi tiptoed downstairs to make breakfast for two. She ate her own portion quietly, put the dishes in the dishwasher, and drove to work.

Lu Jinan slept late last night and didn't get up to make breakfast this morning out of spite. The next time he opened his eyes, He Xi drove to work. He heard the sound of the car starting and stood blankly at the window, looking down at her downstairs.

Lu Jinan on the second floor was at a loss. He didn't understand why He Xi's train of thought was different from others. Didn't she know that if her husband was angry, he could just be coaxed?

Men are so easy to please! Kiss, hug, sleep, what's there to be angry about!

What was this woman waiting for? Waiting for him to apologize? To say that he was wrong, that he shouldn't be angry because he was worried about her, and that she should be a good person?

Lu Jinan went downstairs in his bathrobe to eat and found that he had his own breakfast: pumpkin, wolfberry and millet porridge, which nourishes and warms the stomach; steamed buns with squash and eggs; scallion pancakes, egg rolls, and refreshing pickles.

He laughed and felt that his anger had mostly subsided.

Lu Jinan walked to work and got up late, so as expected, he was late again.

Around noon, Lu Jinan received a bouquet of flowers and a loving lunch.

The meaning of Elsa Rose: You are the only one in my heart.

Assistant Wei handed the flowers to Lu Jinan, with an uncertain expression: "Boss Lu, you are the only man to receive flowers."

"If you have the ability, you can also receive flowers from your wife." Lu Jinan glanced at Assistant Wei.

Seeing President Lu so happy, Assistant Wei couldn't bear to disturb him, but he still had to say it.

Lu Jinan looked at him, hesitating to speak, ruining her good mood, and pursed her lips slightly: "Speak."

"My wife has gone to the next city and will not be back for a few days."

"When?"

"When delivering food,

"She came in person?"

"Yes, and she said she was angry too."

"and then?"

"Then he left."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Woman, your name is Jueqing.
