This man, it seems, cannot be spoiled at all; it's too painful.

However, I felt refreshed all over and my body didn't feel so sticky, so I guess this man has some conscience.

He even knew to wipe Shen Qiaoyue's body.

After changing her clothes, she came out into the living room and met Lu Chen's gaze.

"Wife, you're awake. Are you feeling better?" Lu Chen quickly put down the groceries he was carrying.

He reached out to support Shen Qiaoyue and looked her up and down.

"Stop looking, I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry." Shen Qiaoyue felt both shy and guilty under Lu Chen's gaze.

"Please sit down first, I'll go make you some food now." Lu Chen helped Shen Qiaoyue sit on the sofa.

When Shen Qiaoyue heard that Lu Chen was going to cook, she pulled him aside and said, "We can just eat at the cafeteria. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you can't get it wet."

"Don't you know how good my wife is? I'll be careful when cooking, so I won't touch the wound."

Lu Chen's words made Shen Qiaoyue blush with embarrassment instantly.

Do you want to listen to what nonsense this man is spouting?

Unable to stop Lu Chen, Shen Qiaoyue sat for a while while he went to the kitchen to work, worried about him.

Follow closely and go outside to take a look. You'll see Lu Chen kneading dough with one hand.

"Why don't you rest for a bit and stay in the living room?" Lu Chen asked as soon as he saw Chen Qiaoyue come in. He quickly told her to leave.

Shen Qiaoyue was not comfortable letting an injured person cook for her. What if someone saw this? Would she still be able to live with them?

She wasn't feeling well, but Lu Chen didn't bother her too much and she was able to work.

After washing and drying her hands, she walked over to Lu Chen and took the bowl for kneading the dough.

"I'll do it." Lu Chen wanted to refuse.

Shen Qiaoyue said, "Go and start a fire. First, stir-fry the chopped filling. The dough needs to rest for a while."

He gave instructions to Lu Chen while starting to work.

Lu Chen stared at Shen Qiaoyue, who was so serious, and all the love in his eyes welled up.

He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss.

"Lu Chen, what are you doing in broad daylight?" Shen Qiaoyue blushed and stared at Lu Chen after being gently kissed.

"Can't I even kiss you at home?" Lu Chen replied, feigning naivety.

Shen Qiaoyue was at a disadvantage but couldn't say anything. She glared at Lu Chen and then lowered her head to continue working.

Lu Chen found a stool, squatted down, and started a fire.

Shen Qiaoyue had just finished kneading the dough when she put all the filling he had chopped into it and stir-fried it.

I used some of the fatty pork I bought last time to render some pork fat, and then stir-fried it with the pork fat to make it fragrant.

Seeing Shen Qiaoyue's skillful movements, Lu Chen originally thought that Shen Qiaoyue was pampered and spoiled, but he did not expect that she could cook.

"What are you looking at so intently?" Shen Qiaoyue noticed Lu Chen staring at her while she was cooking.

Hearing Shen Qiaoyue's voice, Lu Chen came to his senses and smiled, "I was thinking, you grew up surrounded by love, so why are you able to do everything?"

"Growing up in love doesn't necessarily mean you can't do anything!"

What kind of talk is that!

Lu Chen realized he had said something wrong, scratched his head, and chuckled, "I thought only poor people like us would do chores ourselves."

"You're wrong. Everyone can do manual labor; it's just a matter of whether they're willing to. Everyone aspires to a better life, so they tend to show the good side to others and keep the bad side for themselves."

On the surface, they may appear glamorous and successful, but in reality, many of them are struggling.

But now, people are becoming more frugal and advocating for hands-on approach.

Shen Qiaoyue changed into the same clothes as everyone else, mainly in plain colors.

"Wife, will you feel like you're suffering if you come with me?" Lu Chen knew that Shen Qiaoyue married him because she didn't want to go to the countryside.

When I returned, I heard about what had happened these past few days.

"Why would you say that?" Shen Qiaoyue saw guilt in Lu Chen's eyes.

Lu Chen said, "I haven't even given you a good life. You were bullied right after we got married, and you had to take care of Lu He all by yourself."

Shen Qiaoyue smiled and said, "You're wrong. Lu He has been taking care of me these past few days."

Lu Chen looked up at Shen Qiaoyue, not understanding why she said that.

Shen Qiaoyue glanced at Lu Chen.

Seeing that Shen Qiaoyue didn't say anything, Lu Chen didn't ask any further questions.

However, he believed that Shen Qiaoyue would not bully Lu He.

After cooking, we ate in the living room.

After the meal, Shen Qiaoyue went to wash the dishes.

"Lu Chen, let me go with you to the hospital for a check-up later." Shen Qiaoyue was still very worried about Lu Chen's injuries.

"No, it's already been checked, there's nothing wrong." Lu Chen didn't stop either.

While Shen Qiaoyue was working, Lu Chen swept the yard.

"Lu Chen, your injuries haven't healed yet, don't do any work." Seriously, is this man always up to something?

Upon hearing Shen Qiaoyue's voice, Lu Chen smiled helplessly and obediently put down the broom in his hand.

"You never know how to treat yourself well, do you? Tell me about it," Shen Qiaoyue began to complain.

She was doing it for Lu Chen's own good.

Lu Chen wasn't angry. Hearing Shen Qiaoyue's murmurs, he understood that this was what home felt like.

After finishing her work, Shen Qiaoyue said to Lu Chen, "Let me tell you..."

"Is your sister-in-law home?" Suddenly, a guard came looking for Shen Qiaoyue with a man.

Before they could finish speaking, Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen both looked towards the door.

"..."

"Commander Lu." The guard led a man behind him, dressed in a simple suit and carrying a briefcase.

Lu Chen walked over and opened the door, asking in confusion, "This is...?"
