CHAPTER 12: SWEET TIME WITH WIFE

"Hubby, this place is expensive, let’s just eat something simple."

As soon as they sat down in the seafood restaurant, Lily whispered this. The upscale decor and the prices on the menu made her uneasy.

"No way, we were exhausted yesterday. We deserve to treat ourselves properly."

Luis flipped through the menu.

Hearing this, Lily blushed and said softly, "Then I’ll pay with my credit card later. Don’t tell Mom."

"Don’t worry, wife. I’m not as broke as you think."

Luis called the waiter and began ordering: "One iron plate snowflake chicken, one cheese lobster, one fried crab with roe."

Snowflake chicken 16 dollars, cheese lobster 66 dollars, fried crab with roe 39 dollars...

The prices made Lily feel like she was suffocating. The waiter noted the order and asked, "Sir, would you like any drinks or stewed soups?"

No drink was under 3 dollars, and more than half of the stewed soups were over 8 dollars.

Lily immediately said, "No need, tea is fine."

Luis quickly stopped her and told the waiter, "One fish maw stew for my wife, and one chicken stew with morel mushrooms for me. That’s it!"

As soon as the waiter left, Lily leaned in and hissed under her breath, "Hubby, are you crazy? This meal is over a hundred, almost two hundred dollars!"

"I know you love seafood the most."

Luis gently held her hand.

"But we can’t spend like this!"

Lily was a thrifty homemaker and immediately started calculating. "If you’re really craving it, I can buy the ingredients and cook at home. That would save so much."

She deliberately kept her voice low because she knew to give her man face in public. It had to be said that her mother Ruth had taught her well on this point, though it clearly didn’t work on Nancy.

"If we pay this next month and Mom finds out, she’ll tear me apart!"

Lily was extremely anxious.

Her monthly salary was 2500 dollars, and she handed over 2000 dollars to her mother. Ruth claimed it was to help her save, so Lily didn’t have much spending money each month.

"Don’t worry, wife. I’m not actually a freeloader!"

Luis handed her his phone. Lily had never made a habit of checking her husband’s phone, but when she saw the withdrawal record, she froze.

"10,000 dollars? Where did you get this money?"

Lily was instantly nervous. To her, this was a huge sum.

"Keep looking!"

When she saw the stock trading records, Lily was stunned. Luis chuckled and said, "Wife, I’m not lazy either. I’ve been working and saving money all along. Leaving it in the bank for that measly interest isn’t worth it. Actually, I’ve been making small investments."

"I... I didn’t know about this."

"You never asked. I thought you weren’t interested."

When it came to lying, men had a natural talent dialed to the max: "During the last bull market, these stocks were worth almost 25,000 dollars, but I got greedy and didn’t sell. Lost 70% of it. This time, I sold as soon as I made a profit to reinvest the earnings elsewhere."

Lily finally relaxed, her face full of admiration, though she still scolded him lightly: "Hubby, you scared me to death. I thought you did something illegal."

"Your husband is a genius. If I really did something bad, I’d be a billionaire by now."

Luis laughed heartily, boasting without any psychological pressure.

Lily, now at ease, was in a great mood. She hugged her husband’s arm and suddenly asked softly, "Hubby, since you’re so capable, why don’t you tell Mom and the others?"

Luis understood her thoughts. Though Lily was used to enduring mistreatment at home and had grown accustomed to this, she couldn’t help but speak up when Luis was wronged.

Taking in a live in son in law, a freeloader, and a poor one at that... In truth, she carried a lot of pressure and had her own insecurities.

She also wanted her husband to have some status at home, or at least for her mother to stop nitpicking and glaring at him all the time.

Put simply, every woman had her vanity. Even as a wife, Lily had hers, but she was too weak to ever show it.

"Wife, I don’t know how to talk to your mom about this either."

Luis sighed and said, "Just like how Brother-in-law found that job, it’s just a Junior Accountant position earning a little over 2000 dollars a month. It’s not even as much as what I make from my scattered investments."

"But you know how she is. If I tell her, it’ll be hard to explain these things she doesn’t understand."

"Besides, this is our own money. After getting married, I’ve been busy and frustrated. I just want to save up quickly to buy a house, even if it’s small. At least it’ll be our own little world."

Luis naturally remained calm and unflinching. He kissed her cheek and said, "We can’t keep living under someone else’s roof forever."

Hearing this, Lily was overjoyed and felt extremely happy. She said softly, "Husband, I always said I have the best judgment. You’re the most responsible and steady."

Luis chuckled and said, "Once we have our own place, we can fuck wherever we want. Unlike last night, when we had to act like thieves."

Lily blushed and coquettishly said, "You’re so annoying~ Last night, didn’t I do whatever you wanted?"

Amid their intimate playfulness, the couple finished their wonderful meal. Holding hands, they went shopping at the mall and bought a lot of snacks before heading home.

At dinner time, Mother-in-law Ruth didn’t come back to eat. After finishing, they ran around like they were on a date, making Lily incredibly happy. The only downside was that her pussy was indeed swollen from being fucked, making it uncomfortable to walk for too long.

In the evening, Ruth called to say she wouldn’t be back for dinner and was going straight to play cards, likely avoiding them on purpose.

The young couple, exhausted from their day-long date, originally planned to bathe together, but the property management called, so they took turns showering instead.

After washing up, they cuddled on the couch watching TV, kissing and groping each other. Lily suddenly whispered, "Husband, what if we still tell Mom about the money?"

It was clear she was still a bit unwilling. After all, she was tired of her mother’s sarcastic remarks and wanted to finally hold her head high.

Luis’s hand had been kneading her bare breasts under her tank top. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright. Honestly, I’m not hiding it from her. Sometimes I just feel it’s unnecessary."

"Why?"

"Think about it. Your Brother-in-law—his family has money, but he doesn’t. He’s always making empty promises, and your mom believes every word. But in reality, he spends lavishly on partying and constantly borrows money here and there. Your Sister Nancy spends money the same way. What if they find out and come to borrow money?"

Luis posed the soul-crushing question: "When that happens, will you lend it to them or not?"

"This..."

Lily froze.

The two sisters were completely different. Nancy had attended art school, draining the family’s savings. She never contributed to household expenses and, as the favored eldest daughter, always demanded money from the family, shrewdly spending it only on herself.

Lily, on the other hand, was overly honest. Since starting work, she had handed over half her salary to her mother for household expenses, and still did so now.

"Wife, the reason I didn’t mention it at first was partly because of this."

Luis hugged her and kissed her, whispering, "But since you brought it up, how about I buy Mom a gift tomorrow? That way, she’ll stop nagging."

"Okay!"

Lily said tenderly, "Husband, you decide. People may call you a live-in son-in-law, but you’re my pillar."

As they kissed and cuddled, Luis’s cock was already painfully hard from holding her alluring body. With a light press of his hands, Lily knew what her husband wanted.

Now too aroused to resist, she lay on the sofa, took off Luis’s pants, and removed her own tank top. Blushing, she said, "Husband, you’re so big~ How am I supposed to take it?"

"Wife, when my mind is preoccupied and stressed, I might neglect you sometimes. But my needs have always been this big."

Luis smoked a cigarette with one hand while fondling his wife’s now plump D+ breasts with the other, completely relaxed. Lily lowered her head and began licking his cock and balls.

In the past, Ruth had been extremely harsh. Unless Arthur or Daniel were visiting, she would hide the ashtray, claiming she hated the smell of smoke and forbidding Luis from smoking in the living room, glaring at him as if it were a capital offense.

This was the first time Lily had bravely brought out the ashtray herself, a change that pleased Luis immensely.

The hardness of the cock in her mouth, combined with the sight of her husband’s well-built body, made Lily’s eyes glaze over with desire as she eagerly licked the shaft that had brought her so much pleasure.

Suddenly, Luis froze. The Lust system’s voice rang in his head:

"Wife Lily’s affection level: 87%, 88%, 90%, 92%..."

"Ding... Confirmed. From last night until now, wife Lily’s affection level has reached 92%!!"

In the world of code flashing through his mind, Luis cursed, "From last night until now? Why is the calculation only starting now? Isn’t it supposed to be real-time?"

The system’s cold voice replied, "The newly activated system prioritized data loading. Calculations could not be performed in real time temporarily."

"Host may confirm whether to reject this delayed data and forfeit the system’s tiered upgrade rewards."

"No no, I confirm!"

"Are you confirming or not?"

"Confirm!"

"New data generating..."

Luis was especially annoyed. This system wasn’t just newly activated—it also seemed immature in its application, apparently delayed by excessive data loading.

Worse, it seemed to have a temper, as if this high-level artificial intelligence had developed its own personality.

"Husband, don’t squeeze so hard~ Or I won’t have the strength~"

Lily’s breasts were very sensitive, and the kneading was almost too much for her. Moaning softly, she knelt between his legs, supporting his cock and sucking the head.

Then, a sharp snap echoed through the room—the front door was flung open.

"Why are you two turning on all the lights like you’re trying to die? Do you think electricity is free?"

Ruth’s voice, still dripping with sarcasm and mockery, rang out. But as she stepped inside with her keys, the sight in the living room left her stunned.
