Chen Lu had never been so speechless in his life.

He blinked curiously, thinking to himself, "It's just shredded potato, how can it be made into something fancy?"

He picked up the remaining few pieces with his chopsticks and tasted them. They seemed quite delicious, so he turned to Liang Zhirou and said:

"When we leave later, we'll hire their housekeeper to come to our house for double the salary."

"That won't do." Jiang Chao clicked his tongue and said with a mischievous grin, "What if you don't pay Auntie's salary? After all, you don't even feed your wife."

"......I don't!"

......

evening.

The company was closed for the past two days, so Chen Lu was still at home. He was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting, when he suddenly heard Liang Zhirou sniffle with a wronged expression.

"What's wrong?" he asked, opening his eyes.

"Someone told me to stop painting and find a factory job."

"Ignore him. The internet is like a zoo; it has all sorts of species." Chen Lu yawned lazily. "Besides, you're drawing illustrations, not RMB. It's normal for some people not to like them."

Moreover, some people have said they don't like money.

"But he... but he sent me a really long message cursing me."

"Damn, how could this happen..."

Chen Lu walked to the computer, cursing, and then he froze.

This guy is being a bit conservative; it's far more than just a long, long statement.

How long was it? He scrolled the mouse wheel several times.

At a glance, those obsessed with the character immediately launch into a tirade against his personality, height, and other aspects, nitpicking everything he sees.

The problem is that the character's illustrations and design in the game were all drawn by Liang Zhirou herself.

She simply drew a fan art of the character she designed and posted it on her little Bilibili site, and then she was accused of malicious out-of-character (OOC) behavior...

It's absolutely amazing.

But what if you just take a closer look at the author's name?

Chen Lu sat down in the chair, pulled the girl into his arms, and typed on the keyboard, replying:

[Too long to read.]

The most important thing to be careful about when dealing with trolls is to avoid being dragged down to their level of intelligence and then being defeated by their extensive experience with low intelligence.

If you don't fall for their act at all, they'll get really angry on their own soon.

Liang Zhirou chuckled twice and was about to stand up and hug Chen Lu when there was another knock on the door from the entrance.

"They're here!"

Chen Lu let her sit there and continue drawing, then quickly walked to the door and asked as he opened it, "Do you have any other packages?"

"No," Liang Zhirou shook her head.

Chen Luxin felt a chill run down his spine.

...That was too hasty.

Pushing open the door, there was indeed Wang Xiaoxia standing there.

"mom......"

Wang Xiaoxia smiled kindly at him, "Oh, you still remember I'm your mother? I thought you found a godmother who wouldn't pressure you to stay."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was just joking with you."

Chen Lu quickly welcomed Wang Xiaoxia inside, asked Liang Zhirou to sit on the sofa and chat with her, while he himself carried a laptop and pretended to be busy with work.

Anyway, Wang Xiaoxia wouldn't make things difficult for Liang Zhirou; she would only find an opportunity to make things difficult for him.

If it were this simpleton receiving that message from the marketing account sent by Wang Xiaoxia, he would patiently explain to his mother-in-law that what these "experts" said was all false, without ever thinking beyond that and associating it with Wang Xiaoxia trying to pressure him to have a baby.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoxia's tricks didn't work on this simpleton.

What's this called? This is the power of one force to overcome all laws. As long as I'm naive enough, you'll never be able to give me a hint.

If you're in a hurry, just say so.

Seeing how obedient his daughter-in-law is, he can't bring himself to do it, right?

Chen Lu almost burst out laughing as he thought about it, but he held it in because of his fear of Wang Xiaoxia pulling his ears.

Seeing Chen Lu engrossed in his work, and looking at Liang Zhirou's obedient demeanor, Wang Xiaoxia didn't use any of the tricks she had prepared.

Even if Xiao Xunfang is on her side, this matter is ultimately the two children's own business. She can urge them, but if she asks the children to do it, the nature of the matter changes.

Unfortunately, Liang Zhirou was a sensible and obedient child. She was eager to have a grandchild, but she was also afraid that if she brought it up, Liang Zhirou would agree against her wishes.

After sitting for more than an hour, she could only sigh and get up to leave, somewhat dejected.

I need to go back and ask Chen Guanglin if he has any ideas; she can't handle that little brat Chen Lu.

"Mom, please stay for dinner." Liang Zhirou followed him to the door, fidgeting with her fingers nervously.

"No, if I stay any longer, Chen Mo will definitely call me and complain about being hungry."

As Wang Xiaoxia spoke, she couldn't help but sigh. How come other people's daughters are so capable in both public and private life, while her daughter can't even cook a proper meal except for instant noodles?

Suddenly I realized that her son was the most promising one; if he couldn't compare to others, he could just marry them.

Wang Xiaoxia smiled and waved, "I'm leaving now."

After finally getting rid of Wang Xiaoxia, Chen Lu immediately tossed his laptop aside and began rubbing his aching arms.

He dared not move at all, just to pretend that he was doing something important.

The thought of having to contend with Wang Xiaoxia's pressure to have a child, and how long this battle of wits would continue, filled him with a sense of utter despair about the future.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll make it for you." The girl walked up to him and massaged his shoulders.

Chen Lu looked up at the time; it was only a little past four in the afternoon. "It's not even lunchtime yet."

They ate lunch around 12:00, so it's only been a little over four hours.

"But...but I'm hungry..." the girl said pitifully.

"Oh? Then cook for me. I'm fine with anything you make, I'll love it."

Chen Lu was amused by her. With Liang Zhirou looking so pitiful, outsiders would probably suspect that he was really abusing her.

Liang Zhirou went to the kitchen to cook.

Hearing the gas stove turn on, Chen Lu leisurely lay down on the sofa and turned to look out the window.

At that time, the sky outside was gradually darkening, and the horizon seemed to be the dividing line between dawn and dusk. The fiery clouds stretched for thousands of miles, dyeing the sky red.

This simpleton has a good eye; he made the right choice in buying the house.

Just for the floor-to-ceiling windows with the river view, it's worth it.

Just as Chen Lu was about to reminisce about the peaceful life, another thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He hurried to the kitchen without even putting on his slippers. At that time, Liang Zhirou was wearing an apron and had her hair in a ponytail, the kind she only did when she was working. She looked exceptionally gentle and virtuous.

"Your period hasn't started yet, has it?" Chen Lu didn't even have the heart to make any advances this time, and asked the question as soon as he entered the door.

Liang Zhirou counted the days on her fingers, then nodded gently.

"It seems like it's several days late."

"......"

After the girl finished speaking, she turned back to continue cooking, seemingly not caring about the matter at all.

Chen Lu was already drenched in sweat.

Holy crap.

No way...
