The Wife of the Wealthy Family Is Fierce and Cute Chapter 86 - Li Yan, Don’t You Think I’ve Grown Much Taller

Chapter 86: Li Yan, Don’t You Think I’ve Grown Much Taller

“Why are you still at my house?”
As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, she received a cold gaze.
Li Yan put down his teacup and coughed several times.
He was handsome to begin with, and as he wasn’t exuding a cold aura, his cough could immediately make one’s heart soften.
Chu Luo felt a little guilty when she thought about how she had deliberately let him soak in ice water for the entire night.
“Then… then go back after dinner.”
“It’s going to rain,” Li Yan suddenly said. Chu Luo looked at him with a dark expression.
What had the impending rain got to do with him going back?
Li Yan said lightly, “I got someone to send over a batch of precious herbs from the Changbai Mountains. The buyer recognizes only me. If you don’t want them, I can just get him to send them to my place.”
When Chu Luo heard that someone had sent him a batch of precious herbs from the Changbai Mountains, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked up to him and said, “Why did he send them to you? You don’t even know how to refine medicine.”
“I have many subordinates. There’s no shortage of people who know how to refine medicine.”
“…” Chu Luo looked at the cold man and felt anxious. She pressed his shoulder to prevent him from really leaving.
“No. Using modern instruments to refine these herbs will cause a lot of medicinal effects to disappear.”
With an unfathomable gaze, Li Yan looked at the little thing that was almost on top of him. He said in a voice that was hoarse from the cold, “I can give you those herbs too.”
Chu Luo was delighted, but looking at his cold face, she knew that he must have something else to say.
“What do you want in exchange?”
Li Yan didn’t answer that question. Instead, he said, “I have a cold.”
“Mm?”
“I asked the doctor. There are many ways to reduce a person’s temperature, but you deliberately chose the method of soaking me in ice water.”
“Erm…” Chu Luo blinked and said seriously, “Your internal energy was in a mess because of the training. That was the most effective method.”
Li Yan continued staring at her coldly.
She felt guilty again.
Chu Luo let go of his hand and took a step back. Without looking into his eyes, she said, “Then… I’ll help you treat your cold.”
“Mm.”
Li Yan stood up and walked towards the dining table.
Chu Luo looked at his back and thought about concocting a set of medicine later to ensure that he would recover from his cold by tomorrow morning after drinking it once. She wanted to see if he’d then have any excuse to talk about this in the future.
At the thought of this, she walked over as well.
Tonight’s dishes were divided into two groups. Li Yan’s side was filled with light dishes while Chu Luo’s side had meat and vegetables.
This body had been eating very well since she came. Recently, not only had she grown much taller, but she had also gained weight. Luckily, the clothes that the original Chu Luo used to wear were all loose. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to fit into them now.
She suddenly recalled Li Yan’s words and deliberately asked, “Li Yan, don’t you think I’ve grown a lot taller?”
Li Yan continued staring at her coldly.
Chu Luo stuck her arm out for him to see. “And also, I’ve put on some flesh.”
‘Hmph, you said that I don’t have any flesh on me. If this isn’t flesh, what is it?’
Li Yan: “Too skinny.”
With that, he continued eating under Chu Luo’s displeased gaze.
Chu Luo looked at her arm and wondered in what way was she skinny. Suddenly, she saw that the pants she was wearing had gotten much shorter on her, and she wondered if she should buy some clothes online later.
What made her most satisfied in this world was that she could buy anything online. Even without going out, someone could deliver anything to her.
After dinner, Chu Luo ran back to the bedroom to retrieve her tablet and sat in the living room with Li Yan. She went online to buy clothes as she waited for the herbs merchant to bring the herbs here.
Meanwhile, Li Yan attended a video conference meeting on his laptop while wearing his Bluetooth earpiece.
Chu Luo didn’t know where to buy clothes, so she searched online. Many people said that they bought clothes from a certain website.
She downloaded the Taobao[1] app and was instantly shocked when she logged in.
“That’s cheap.”
After saying this, she quickly browsed through it. She would place an order for whatever caught her eye.
Li Yan glanced at the webpage on her tablet then went back to what he was doing.
Just as Chu Luo was engrossed in shopping, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was from Tang Zhiyun, so she answered the call.
“Junior.” Tang Zhiyun sounded very worked up. “Has your account been hacked?”
When Chu Luo heard this, she quickly logged in to take a look. “No.”
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, followed by the sound of swallowing saliva. Then Tang Zhiyun asked again, suppressing his emotions, “Why did your account become level 99?”
“Oh,” Chu Luo replied calmly. “I leveled up this afternoon.”
“…”
“…”
While Chu Luo and Tang Zhiyun were silent, Xie Minghai and Yu Lei, who were beside Tang Zhiyun, had their jaws drop.
Xie Minghai snatched the phone from Tang Zhiyun’s hand. “Little Chuchu, how did you do that? You went from level 75 to level 99 in just one afternoon. You must know that the higher the level, the harder it is to level up.”
“I went on an interstellar mission with Y and leveled up.”
“…”
“…”
Chu Luo replied, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. I’m buying clothes right now. I’ll only be online at eight.”
Seeing that there was no response from the other party, she didn’t mind and hung up.
Chu Luo didn’t know that after more than ten minutes of silence, the four people opposite her erupted.
“D*mn, someone come and pinch me. Who did Little Chuchu say she did a mission with?” Xie Minghai extended his arm.
Yu Lei said, “I might have been too stressed these past few days so now I’m having hallucinations.”
Xu Qingfeng pushed up the glasses that had fallen on the bridge of his nose and looked at Tang Zhiyun. “Boss, what do you think?”
Tang Zhiyun looked serious. “It’s possible…”
These two words tightened their nerves.
Xie Minghai replied, “It’s possible we heard wrong?”
Yu Lei: “It’s possible that it’s not the legendary God Y but someone with the same game name as him.”
Xu Qingfeng adjusted his glasses and had to remind them, “Each username could only be registered once on ‘Battle of Lightyears.’”
…
The four of them had great chemistry. Immediately, they unanimously pounced on the computer to look at the world news this afternoon.
“No, there’s no news at all.”
“Other than God Y, who else can block world news like that?”
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit!”
At this moment, there were only these two words that the four could use to express their shock.
On the other side.
After Chu Luo hung up the phone, she continued to shop. After buying more than ten sets of clothes, she stopped. Upon thinking that since she had bought clothes to wear on the outside, she should buy some undergarments too, she continued to shop.
At this moment, her phone rang again.
It was a call from Wang Mingtao.
Wang Mingtao’s reaction was even more intense. His words were like a cannon.
So much so that it made Chu Luo shift her phone away from her ear a little. She really didn’t understand why they were so agitated.
After hanging up the phone, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Isn’t it just Y? What’s there to be excited about? After I defeat him, let’s see if you’re still excited after hearing his name.”
At this moment, Li Yan, who was in the midst of a video conference, suddenly glanced at her.
Chu Luo didn’t notice that and continued shopping.
At eight o’clock, Chu Luo went online on time.
When the level 99 [Bai Ling] appeared in the game, the entire empire’s server exploded.
Other than “What the f*ck!” no other words appeared on the World Channel.
The five of them had already formed a team.
Perhaps because they’d had more than an hour to digest it, the other four looked calm.
They formed a team and did a mission. At eleven o’clock, their levels were all maxed out.
[Carefree Wanderer]: “The empire’s selection rounds will start at eight o’clock tomorrow. Our team has yet to be named. Think quickly.”
[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “Unparalleled Fire.”
[Dream Slayer]: “Proud Sky.”
[Intoxicated]: “Going All In.”
[Carefree Wanderer]: “No, these names already exist. We have to think of an unregistered one. These are too ordinary.”
They came up with dozens of names in a row, but Tang Zhiyun denied them all.
[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “It’s too difficult! Why don’t we let Little Chuchu think of one?”
Chu Luo was also thinking about it when they were brainstorming about names. For some reason, she typed out two words.
[Bai Ling]: “Phoenix Skies.”
There was a moment of silence.
[Carefree Wanderer]: “This name is not bad, but since we are a team, how about adding the word ‘Legend’ after Phoenix Skies?”
[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “Agreed!”
[Dream Slayer]: “Agreed!”
[Intoxicated]: “Agreed!”
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Chu Luo also agreed.
[Carefree Wanderer]: “The Qualifying Competition is divided into regional competitions. Three days after that, it would be the National Competition. As for the finals, that will be held on the 24th and 25th. We don’t have to reveal much strength in the early stages. We just need to start exerting our strength in the finals.”
[Carefree Wanderer]: “Most importantly, the 25th finals will end at 4 PM. We can also have a celebratory dinner together and wait for Junior’s college entrance examination results to be released at 8 o’clock on the next day.”
At the mention of the college entrance examination results, the four boys were even more excited than Chu Luo.
After chatting for a while, the boys urged Chu Luo to go offline and sleep.
Chu Luo didn’t insist. She left the team and replied to [Evil Dragon Crossing the River]’s messages before logging off.
She looked up and saw Li Yan sitting beside her.
She then remembered that the herb merchant they were waiting for hadn’t arrived.
Chu Luo frowned. “Can the herb merchant get here tonight?”
Li Yan looked up at the thunderous skies outside the door. “He’ll arrive tomorrow.”
Chu Luo also looked outside the door. “Alright, I’ll go to sleep, then.”
She then stood up to go upstairs with the game console but suddenly stopped to look at Li Yan.
Noticing that his face was a little red, she asked, “Are you running a high fever?”
“Mm.”
“Have you gotten someone to concoct the medicine using the prescription I gave you?” She had been focusing on the game and didn’t know if he had taken his medicine.
“Mm.”
Chu Luo muttered, “That’s strange. Since when does the medicine I prescribe have such weak effects?”
Li Yan: “Maybe I soaked in ice water for too long. Cough, cough…”
Chu Luo felt guilty and stopped talking.
Qin Ming, who had been standing there like an invisible person, glanced over.
