Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Cao Zhuzhu had finished processing all the vegetables. In order not to pressure Pei Song, she also processed the meat dishes.

After that, she had even finished picking out the shrimp thread but her boyfriend had not finished fixing the leaking part!

Pei Song was in the same position as forty minutes ago.

He just squatted there. His legs were not numb. His physical fitness was indeed good. His core strength was excellent. However…his forehead was sweating.

He was panicking.

The idea of repairing was simple, but the problem was the tools.

He had wasted his morning on other things and hadn’t had the time to finish reading the manual. He thought that it should not be difficult to learn by himself since it was just a few tools.

However, after putting it into practice, he realized that Pei Huai’s toolbox was too high-tech and completely different from ordinary usage.

If he had known earlier, he would have taken an ordinary toolbox from home.

His mother-in-law had been watching from the side, and he was already under a lot of pressure. However, at this moment, “gulp-”

The sound of stomach growling was especially clear in the quiet kitchen. All three of them heard it. It came from Xie Lingyu..

Cao Zhuzhu: ‘

Pei Song: ‘

Xie Lingyu smiled awkwardly. “Well, I’m not hungry. Take your time.”

The corner of Pei Song’s eyes twitched violently. “Should be done soon.”

Cao Zhuzhu turned around to open the fridge and found a few pieces of cake left from yesterday.

“Mom, eat a piece of cake first.”

Xie Lingyu waved her hand. “I’m really not hungry.”

Cao Zhuzhu knew that she was stubborn and took out a piece. “A small piece is fine too.”

Xie Lingyu looked at the fluffy and soft cake with cream and fruit jam on top.

She was silent for two seconds.” Then get Mom a bigger one.”

Cao Zhuzhu: “… Alright.”

She picked the biggest piece for Madam Xie and ate the small piece herself to prevent her stomach from growling again.

As time pa.s.sed, Second Master Pei’s patience was running out.

The sound of water dripping down was irritating.

He had wanted to impress his future mother-in-law.

It’s all gone now.

He suppressed the fire in his heart and tried one last time for his girl. He finally got used to it after repeated failures.

Now, as long as he tightened that place, the problem of the kitchen leaking water would be fixed.

No matter how long it would take, as long as he could fix it, he would be able to save face in front of his future mother-in-law.

Cao Zhuzhu was also worried for her boyfriend. Xie Lingyu’s cake was almost digested.

Finally, he could see the light. Pei Song gritted his teeth and clamped the top of the water pipe. He concentrated an hour of torture on the strength of his fingers and twisted it fiercely!

Cao Zhuzhu looked over nervously.

Xie Lingyu: “It’s done??”

The scene paused for a second, and then there was a sizzling sound! There was a loud bang.

Everyone’s gaze followed the water column that shot up into the sky.

Wow…lt was a fountain.

The pliers were too sharp. This twist did not tighten the water pipe but broke

In just a few seconds, Pei Song was drenched from head to toe!

Pei Song:

Xie Lingyu:

Cao Zhuzhu: ‘

Silence.

Only the sound of the fountain’s water column sizzling could be heard.

Cao Zhuzhu silently left the kitchen and went to the water meter box to turn off the water valve. When she came back, she saw her drenched boyfriend.

She had to admit that Pei Song, who had a shirt sticking to his upper body, looked good. He took off his gla.s.ses in frustration. He looked really attractive. The phone in her pocket vibrated and she took it out to take a look.

It was a WeChat message from Su Ji

[ “Are you at home?” ]

[ “What are you doing?” ]

Su Ji basically asked her every time she came to the apartment. If she was at home, the two of them could meet up, chat, and eat something together.

It was mainly because their boyfriends were brothers, so they had a lot of common topics to talk about.

The two questions Su Ji sent were actually very normal, but Cao Zhuzhu could not explain it clearly, so she took a photo of the crime scene and sent it to her. She was afraid that she wouldn’t understand and started typing again.

However, before she could finish, Su Ji replied.

[ “The kitchen was leaking?” ]

They had chemistry.

Cao Zhuzhu replied with a voice message, “the water pipe is broken.”

In the dining room upstairs, Su Ji leaned back in her chair with her elbow on the back of the chair beside her. Xiao Tong was curled up on her lap, sleeping in.

At this moment, she was looking at the sad-looking photo.

At this moment, she was alone in the dining room. Aunt Gong was busy preparing the last soup in the kitchen.

The fragrance was rich.

Aunt Gong did not manage to buy the desserts that Pei Huai had instructed her to buy previously. When she went to the shop, they apologized and said that they were out of stock. Aunt Gong asked when there would be more, and the shop owner said that it would take two hours. Aunt Gong was afraid that she would delay the time to buy vegetables and cook, so she left her phone number first.

Then, a few minutes ago, they called to say that it was finally ready.

In order not to delay lunchtime, Pei Huai took the car keys and drove to get it personally. Aunt Gong was embarra.s.sed and said that she had not done her job well. Pei Huai asked her to stay in the apartment and focus on making soup. His fiancée and daughter were more importatnt.

As for why he said it was a daughter…

She was only two months pregnant, so they couldn’t tell her gender at all. This man had decided that it was a daughter. He said that the fetus he saw on the ultrasound this morning was a girl, so he was definitely right.

It was pure nonsense. Su Ji could not be bothered with him.

She typed a reply on her phone with one hand. Her slender and fair fingers tapped on it, making a tapping sound. Her movements were very smooth.

[ “Your boyfriend hasn’t fixed it yet?” ]

She couldn’t help but laugh before sending a second message.

[ “Do you need a new one?” ]

After she sent it, she read it again and realized that the two sentences were ambiguous.

Then, she sent another message.

[ “I mean the water pipe.” ]

Downstairs, Cao Zhuzhu received the timely third message and silently deleted the word “yes” that she had already typed.

She glanced at the huge crack on the water pipe that had been made by a sharp tool.

[ “Now, yes.” ]

Pei Song turned to look at her.

Cao Zhuzhu did not look back because Su Ji had also replied. [ “Alright, give me ten minutes, I’ll go buy a water pipe..” ]
