Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 153: Going out in the rain, always carrying a knife and never an umbrella

Li Mubai's behavior at this moment is no different from those second-generation rich kids...

No.

It should be said that it's even more outrageous!

A dignified woman like her, actually being treated by a man with such frivolous actions...

Pei Xue instinctively turned her head to refuse.

Because she felt a bit ashamed...

But when she met Li Mubai's clear eyes, she forcibly restrained herself from acting... and allowed Li Mubai to do as he pleased.

After all, she is now considered Li Mubai's private possession.

This is the determination she should have.

Li Mubai narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and stopped his actions.

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

"Don't cause trouble."

"Not causing trouble."

"Remember to behave."

"I will be very obedient."

Li Mubai smiled and rubbed her head, his arm resting on her shoulder. He took off her hairpin one by one, and her long hair slowly spread out. "920."

Pei Xue obediently endured it, completing the wedding night that only her husband could give her.

All her pride from birth until now...

All ended at this moment.

Li Mubai sat on the chair where she had been sitting before, patted his lap, and Pei Xue bit her lip as she sat in Li Mubai's embrace.

He forcefully made her lean against him, and only then did Li Mubai ask, "Tell me about your family situation."

Pei Xue leaned against Li Mubai's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. She slightly raised her head and slowly spoke.

It's the same as many versions of the story.

A once happy and harmonious family suddenly encountered a disaster. A serious illness could wipe out the savings of an ordinary family for half a lifetime.

The cost of one day in the ICU is equivalent to a month's salary for a laborer.

Li Mubai nodded, indicating that he understood.

Pei Xue felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted off her shoulders and she relaxed in Li Mubai's embrace.

"Get up, let's go."

Pei Xue quickly stood up and took a deep breath. "I'll go change my clothes."

Li Mubai stood at the door and waited for three or four minutes, but Pei Xue still hadn't come out, so he had to walk into the warehouse.

Pei Xue had just put on knee-high socks.

It was the school uniform.

"It'll be ready soon."

Pei Xue wasn't particularly embarrassed, but Li Mubai looked at her slender and delicate white legs with a slight deviation in his gaze.

She was classmates with Zhou Ziqing...

In the second year of high school...

After Pei Xue finished changing, Li Mubai openly held her hand and started walking outside.

Coincidentally, the female student who was on duty with Pei Xue came back. "Pei Xue, I really troubled you tonight."

She only said half of her sentence and stared at the gentle and charming Pei Xue beside Li Mubai in astonishment.

Shocked by Pei Xue's appearance, even more shocked by Li Mubai's looks.

Suddenly.

This female student pointed at Li Mubai, her eyes bright with excitement, as if she remembered something.

"Li... Li Mubai, Brother Mubai!"

Pei Xue turned her head and looked at Li Mubai's profile.

This was the first time she heard Li Mubai's name.

Walking together on the dimly lit road, Pei Xue tactfully didn't ask where they were going.

It wasn't until Li Mubai hailed a taxi and stood at the hospital entrance with her that Pei Xue grabbed Li Mubai's hand with force. Li Mubai also grabbed her hand in return, indicating for her to relax.

They went all the way to the inpatient department.

Li Mubai and Pei Xue arrived in front of Pei Xue's mother's ward.

Inside, Pei Xue's father was sitting by the bed.

The illness couldn't be treated with the current medical conditions. As for the futuristic technology and medicine, they had to wait for Li Mubai to complete his final mission and officially end this world to open the system mall.

He gestured for Pei Xue to go in.

Li Mubai used his own money to deposit one million into the medical card under Pei Xue's mother's name.

He now has a total of three cards.

Two of them are from the president's sister [one is worth 160 million and the other is worth 1.5 billion from Lin Jiajun].

Li Mubai's own money is now about six million, all given by the system.

Next month, he will receive several million from the live broadcast revenue.

He cannot touch Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin's money for now.

It was obvious that Pei Xue already knew when she came back.

When Li Mubai saw Pei Xue, she already had tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you so much, I really couldn't hold on anymore."

Li Mubai remembered a phrase from his previous life.

Women are made of water, like flowers, only suitable for the greenhouse. They need a man to shield them from the wind and rain outside the greenhouse.

Li Mubai gently hugged her.

It wasn't a formal meeting, but Pei Xue's father, upon learning that the one million in the text message notification was paid by Li Mubai, gratefully bowed.

Li Mubai exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then he left with Pei Xue.

"Where are we going now?" Pei Xue turned her head and asked, trying to please him.

"First, let's go get some money for you."

"Go to withdraw?"

"My phone is out of battery. Tomorrow, you can continue studying."

Pei Xue was a little stunned, her eyes widened slightly. She thought tonight... that thing, and then she only needed to wait for Li Mubai to favor her every day.

"I have already arranged a new high school for you, starting from the second year. Your goal for the next two years is to get into university. Of course, I will cover the expenses."

There was a strange light in Pei Xue's eyes.

She felt that Li Mubai... was even better than she had imagined...

"A person can temporarily bow their head, but they cannot bow their head forever. Today, I will support you, but in a few years, can you support me?" Li Mubai blinked at Pei Xue.

The system's notification sound started to frequent again, as expected.

Pei Xue took a deep breath, holding back the tears in her eyes.

"Mr. Li..."

"Let's call each other husband and wife."

Pei Xue opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she didn't say those two words on the street.

She decided... to serve Li Mubai well tonight!

But then she hesitated, she had... no experience.

Li Mubai went to withdraw a few thousand yuan and put it in Pei Xue's bag. "Use it to buy some clothes and study materials."

"I... I will remember!"

Listening to the system's notification sound, Li Mubai hailed a taxi.

With his arm around her shoulder, Li Mubai headed towards Jinshui Qianwan.

However, on the way, Pei Xue kept holding her phone and occasionally glanced at it, her cheeks turning red.

Until they arrived at the entrance of Jinshui Qianwan, they took the elevator.

Pei Xue still stole a few glances.

After getting off the elevator and standing at the door of 601, Li Mubai asked Pei Xue to open the door.

"Give me your phone."

Pei Xue, like a frightened little rabbit, pulled her hand back.

Li Mubai made a gesture, and Pei Xue slowly placed her phone in Li Mubai's hand.

But she only glanced at it.

Li Mubai's brows furrowed.

Allowing Pei Xue to carefully place slippers under his feet, he walked into the living room with her.

Pei Xue finally spoke...

"I... I don't know."

Li Mubai sighed lightly and returned the phone to her.

Thinking that Li Mubai was dissatisfied, Pei Xue blushed and sat beside him, whispering anxiously.

"I... I'm a good learner, I can learn quickly!"

Li Mubai smiled and shook his head. "I'm not dissatisfied with you, I just remembered something."

"What?"

"A place I saw a long, long time ago, a holy place that even the River Crab God couldn't invade. It has the vitality comparable to a cockroach, always carrying a knife but never an umbrella on rainy days, carved to perfection!"

"???"

Pei Xue widened her innocent and pure eyes...
