Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 59: Questioning the Secret

It was night, and the falling darkness took away all the warmth, leaving the surroundings icy cold.

He's father and mother had already eaten dinner. He's father said that the food was in the pot. As a result, He Xi opened the lid of the pot and found only a few cabbage cobs. The rice for two people was obviously He's mother's masterpiece.

He Xi went back to his room and took out the flour he had grown, the tomatoes he had picked from the field, and the small piece of beef he had just bought from the system mall.

Four bowls of hand-rolled noodles, topped with thin slices of beef and fresh tomatoes, created a fresh aroma that drew the scolding of He's mother: "Where did the meat come from? You didn't know how to share it with your father and me, but you learned to eat it all by yourself."

He Xi's expression froze for a moment, and she didn't move for a while. She said "oh" and asked, "Why don't you take out the money you earn from home and share it with us, instead of keeping it all to yourself, and I will be filial to you."

He's mother's face turned pale, and she grabbed He Xi's arm fiercely: "You, you dare to think about the money at home, that's all your brother's. He has paid a lot for this family. No one can touch that money."

He Xi sneered, "A mother is kind and a son is filial. If you are not kind, how can I be filial? Besides, I am not filial? The way out for the family now is not something I came up with. I contributed money and effort."

He Xi looked at her suddenly and walked closer: "Did you contribute a dime? I pay for all the business, what else are you dissatisfied with? If you are dissatisfied, just keep it to yourself."

Mother He couldn't believe that her daughter would talk to her like this. She was not as submissive as before. Her cold and aggressive eyes made her feel cold all over.

The quarrel just now alarmed others, especially Father He, who heard that all the money was left for the eldest son. Only then did he truly understand his wife's favoritism.

He Xi sat cross-legged on the kang to eat noodles. He Fei could also sit cross-legged. But it was difficult for Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan. They tried with great difficulty. It was said that only people from Northeast China could sit cross-legged.

Unable to bear it any longer, He Xi brought them chairs and they sat in front of her desk to eat noodles.

The four people, who had been starving for a long time, didn't say a word and stuffed their stomachs into the noodles. When they put their chopsticks in their mouths, they found the noodles delicious. The noodles were a little lumpy, but they still tasted good. One can imagine how chewy and delicious the noodles were just out of the pot.

The thin beef slices and the delicious sour tomato soup are all tempting your appetite.

The four of them were so hungry that they even finished their soup.

Looking at the empty noodle bowls of the other three people, He Xi smiled with satisfaction. There was nothing wrong with her cooking skills.

He Fei and Xiao Yan were washing dishes when Lu Jinan sat down on her kang. He grabbed her and pulled her over to sit on his lap. He whispered in his ear, "How many secrets do you have, huh?"

The actions were ambiguous, the words were awkward, and He Xi looked at him in confusion.

Lu Jinan lowered his head and kissed He Xi's ear, slowly torturing her. He Xi couldn't see his expression, but she felt a wet and hot feeling on her ear, and her face quickly heated up and turned red.

Lu Jinan's lips were burning hot. He Xi opened her mouth and said, "Lu Jinan, don't be like this."

He Xi wanted to hide and shrink, but she couldn't, he held He Xi's waist tightly.

Hearing He Xi's whimpering voice, Lu Jinan stopped what he was doing. He couldn't go on any longer. He...

Lu Jinan's body became hot, and even the breath he exhaled was hot, constantly burning her ears.

He Xi: What should I do? This is the first time I have had contact with him like this. It's so awkward.

He buried his chin in the hollow of He Xi's shoulder, his posture was wanton, and his tone was very coquettish: "Tell me, just tell me!"

He Xi was so excited that she got goose bumps all over her body. There was a hint of tenderness in her voice, just a hint: "Let me go first, I'm not feeling well, I..."

He seemed to have noticed his own changes. He thought he had suppressed himself well, so he let go of He Xi a little embarrassedly and said, "Actually...actually I want to be responsible for you."

He Xi was so shocked that she couldn't catch her breath and coughed violently: "Cough cough... I... too fast."

Lu Jinan looked sad and said confidently, "Choose between getting engaged and telling your secret."

He Xi frowned and stood firm. It was a life-and-death moment for her acting skills, and she couldn't back down.

He Xi subconsciously kept backing away, with an innocent and frightened look on her face: "I'm still young... I plan to play for a few more years. As for secrets... there aren't any."

In the end, Lu Jinan was driven out by He Xi. Standing at the door of the room, he had a bit of pride in his eyes. He didn't ask the secret, but he smelled it secretly.
