CHAPTER 775: CHAPTER 778: HUSBAND, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

"..." Wang Xiangxiang didn’t say a word but rolled her eyes instead.

Seeing Wang Xiangxiang roll her eyes, Chu Lian took it seriously. He took Wang Xiangxiang’s hand, his eyes gleaming as he began, "My lady, do you think I’m not good enough?"

"..." Wang Xiangxiang rolled her eyes again, knowingly asking a rhetorical question—since she had given him her heart, how could he not be good? "Yes, yes, yes, you’re very good, you’re the best husband in the whole wide world."

"My lady, you seem rather unwilling to say that, don’t you?"

Wang Xiangxiang smirked and changed her tone, "My husband is the best husband under the heavens."

After saying that, she added, "Can it do now?"

"..." Chu Lian was speechless; if only she hadn’t added that last part, it would have been fine, but with it, her reluctance was obvious.

Seeing Chu Lian’s unnatural expression, Wang Xiangxiang suddenly looked down and laughed softly before lifting her head and sweetly saying, "Husband, to hold your hand and grow old with you."

Sure enough, Chu Lian’s eyes brightened at these words, and the corners of his mouth turned upward. The two of them gazed at each other with affectionate eyes, "My lady."

"Heh, you look rather silly, don’t you?"

Chu Lian laughed, willing to be a fool as long as he had her love, "My lady, since you’ve expressed your love like this, let me tell you some good news."

"What good news?" Wang Xiangxiang asked curiously.

Chu Lian smiled and said, "The Dongfeng Restaurant in the county has been closed down by the government office."

"Really?" Wang Xiangxiang could hardly believe it. Was Dongfeng Restaurant finished just like that? How did he manage it?

Curious, she asked, "Husband, what have you done?"

"..." Chu Lian’s mouth twitched, and he tapped Wang Xiangxiang’s forehead with his index finger, saying affectionately, "You should be asking what he did."

"Oh, oh, what did he do?"

"Cockroaches were found by a customer in his restaurant, and there were rats in the kitchen," Chu Lian explained.

Wang Xiangxiang’s eyes widened; how could that be? Running a restaurant and having such problems was a big no-no, and Li Fuyou was no fool. Even if there were issues, they should be hidden well enough not to be noticed by customers. She looked at Chu Lian again and said, "Husband, did you do this?"

"..." Chu Lian’s mouth twitched again, unable to hide anything from Xiangxiang, "I’ve already said, ’do unto others as they have done unto you.’"

In dealing with Li Fuyou, he didn’t actually come up with other tricks; they were all tactics Li Fuyou had used on them. He had simply returned the favor in kind.

All he did was hire some people to ensure everything went smoothly.

Wang Xiangxiang’s interest was fully piqued, and she excitedly asked, "Husband, come on, tell me, how did you do it? Did you pay someone to cause trouble in their restaurant? Pretending to find cockroaches? That’s quite a vicious move..."

Wang Xiangxiang rattled off a bunch of guesses as Chu Lian listened, bemused by her imagination.

Seeing that Chu Lian remained silent, Wang Xiangxiang continued, "Husband, come on, tell me, I want to hear."

Seeing how interested his lady was, Chu Lian had no choice but to speak, "Actually, if he hadn’t started scheming again, Dongfeng Restaurant wouldn’t have fallen so quickly."

What Chu Lian said was true; Dongfeng Restaurant had already been struggling due to their interference, and if he had sent people to make trouble in the restaurant at that point, it wouldn’t be effective due to the scant number of customers.

"What did he do again?" Wang Xiangxiang asked, curious.
