No, I only bought one cup.

Aren't you going to drink?

"I need to lose weight," Liang Zhirou said earnestly, then slowly looked away. "I've gained weight recently, haven't you noticed?"

Our family is currently facing financial difficulties, so every penny we can save is precious.

She's the pillar of the family now, so she definitely has to shoulder the responsibilities.

As for why you want to save money by going to the mall... well, going to the mall can be a form of entertainment, and you can just look around without spending any money.

Lin Miaomiao, with a straw in her mouth, scrutinized her for a long time.

Just as he was about to say he hadn't noticed, he suddenly shouted angrily:

"Tell me honestly, was it Chen Lu who raised you?"

......

Girls never have to worry about where to eat; they have countless ways to avoid bad restaurants and find recommended eateries.

The two ate a pot of chicken stew, then went to see a musical fountain show, before going their separate ways home.

To be precise, it was waving goodbye from a distance of one building apart within the same residential complex.

After all, they were neighbors.

When she opened the door and returned home, the living room was pitch black. She turned on the light and found Chen Lu holding Duo Duo, sitting on the sofa as if frozen, lost in thought.

There was even a time when Chen Lu was at home waiting for her.

This is quite a rare occurrence.

"Why aren't the lights on?" She put the takeout food aside and reached out to rub Chen Lu's cheek.

Duoduo wisely jumped out of Chen Lu's arms to make room for the big cat.

"I was thinking about something and forgot," Chen Lu said truthfully.

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the girl standing in front of him and asked, "Did you go out with Lin Miaomiao?"

"Mmm, she asked me to go shopping for clothes with her." Liang Zhirou said, then lay down on the sofa. "I'm so tired, she can walk so much."

Chen Lu leaned closer to her and offered to massage her shoulders.

Liang Zhirou gave a satisfied hum in her heart and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this what it feels like to be a pillar of support?"

Chen Lu suddenly choked on his saliva.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"It's nothing," Chen Lu quickly explained.

It's all those outrageous netizens' fault; he can't even look at the word "pillar of strength" the same way anymore.

"Give me another back massage, thank you..." Liang Zhirou buried her face in her arms and whispered shyly.

"Okay, is there anything else you need, my dear wife?"

Actually, Chen Lu was exhausted after all the commotion today, but he was still willing to play along with Liang Zhirou.

"Don't think you can take advantage of me just because you add 'adult' after your wife..."

Liang Zhirou mumbled something, but in her heart she loved the nickname.

"Could you please tuck your lips in? They're practically pointing to the sky," Chen Lu kindly reminded her.

"Huh? Oh..."

After a while, while Chen Lu was still giving the massage, the girl suddenly sat up and looked at him intently.

"Chen Lu, I'd like to learn watercolor painting too, is that okay...?"

Chen Lu blinked blankly, "What's wrong with that?"

"I might have to spend some money to get started, and I expect to have a large picture frame at home by then; watercolors will probably have a certain charm."

"It doesn't matter, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to make much money in China, right? You're doing it out of hobby?"

Liang Zhirou nodded gently, unconsciously cracking her knuckles. "I really want to do anything related to painting."

At first, she was just interested and planned to use it to pass the time. But later, she heard that she had a talent for it, so she started to make money by drawing. Now, she has completely fallen in love with it.

"I never expected my wife to be such an artsy girl," Chen Lu said with a smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing because you finally have something you want to do."

Chen Lu pulled the girl next to him into his arms and casually touched her stomach.

This chubby little belly has no excess fat, but it's still soft and smooth, flat and beautiful, and it feels incredibly comfortable to touch.

The girl, like a cat being petted, closed her eyes contentedly, letting him stroke her lower abdomen.

"You seem to really enjoy touching my belly."

"It feels so good and relaxing to touch, of course I like it." Chen Lu continued to gently stroke her. "What? Who was it that said their whole body was mine before, but now they won't even let me touch their belly?"

"They didn't say it wasn't allowed," Liang Zhirou muttered softly.

After a while, the girl pursed her lips again, reached out and gently pressed Chen Lu's outstretched hand, firmly fixing his palm on her lower abdomen.

As Chen Lu was wondering, Liang Zhirou suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered in a very sweet and seductive tone:

"Here, your little baby will grow up..."

"......"

Chen Lu felt as if his heart had skipped a beat.
