CHAPTER 243: CHAPTER 243 LITTLE LU IS SIMPLY A VIRTUOUS WIFE AND GOOD MOTHER

Qin Miaomiao looked at him, then at the plate of beef and spaghetti, and decisively decided to tell a lie.

"I’d say, compared to you, Little Seventh is still a tiny bit behind."

Lu Qing scoffed: "Oh? How come I heard the opposite?"

"You must’ve misheard! I swear!"

Saying that, she took a big bite of beef.

"Seems like you’re quite satisfied with Little Seventh."

Tsk tsk tsk, that tone had a bit of sourness in it. Qin Miaomiao braced herself, full alert mode activated—danger, danger!

If she slipped up, poor Little Seventh might get banished to Africa again. So, for the sake of the adorable little kitten, she had to fight back!

She quickly shook her head: "Not satisfied. Let me tell you, Little Seventh, well, sometimes he’s just silly, not too sharp. Sure, his cooking is delicious, but eat too much, and it’s easy to gain weight."

Lu Qing wasn’t fooled one bit—wasn’t it clear she was just being contrarian?

He said flatly, "If you’re not satisfied, then how about we swap someone new in?"

"No way! I’ll just make do. Swapping people is such a hassle—so much adjusting to do—it’s also a waste of money, right? Plus, your money is my money now, and I’d feel heartbroken."

Lu Qing casually glanced at her: "Miao Miao, your skill at lying with a straight face has really improved lately."

Qin Miaomiao widened her eyes at him, feigning righteous indignation: "Nonsense! My husband is wise, heroic, drop-dead gorgeous, a heartthrob among countless young women. How could those words ever be lies?"

Lu Qing: ....

His wife’s trash-talking skills were absolutely max level!

He ruffled her hair and said, "Next time this happens, even if you plead, it won’t work."

Tch, what a petty man drinking vinegar—a bit of praise for Little Seventh, and he couldn’t take it.

"Okay, okay, from now on I’ll listen to you, hubby. Hubby is the best! So... about these dishes—hubby dearest, might you take care of them too?"

"What’s in it for me?"

Qin Miaomiao glared at him. Washing a few dishes, and he wanted a reward?!

Fine, considering his high-and-mighty CEO status, she decided to compromise a little.

"A kiss?"

"Not enough."

"A hug?"

"Not enough."

"Are you kidding me? It’s just two dishes, and you’re pushing your luck! This isn’t worth it—I’ll just wash them myself!"

And so, after dinner, she stood at the sink and began her grueling and endless dishwashing routine. Unfortunately, her household-skills stat was clearly non-existent. The sink overflowed, the soap foamed up too much, bubbles flew everywhere—it was, honestly... a total disaster!

In the end, Lu Qing couldn’t stand it any longer and kicked her out, cleaning up her mess himself. Meanwhile, Qin Miaomiao, with soap foam still on her face, pitifully stood behind him. She pulled out her phone and snapped a few pictures of him doing the dishes.

Then posted them on her Moments: "Hubby doing the dishes—so hardworking. Heart gesture."

Jin Jing quickly liked the post: "Little Lu is the epitome of a virtuous husband. Like, like!"

Jiaojiao: Hmmph.

Little Sixth: Young Master Lu is mighty!

Little Seventh: Young Master Lu is mighty!

Little Second: Young Master Lu is mighty!

Little Fifth: Young Master Lu is mighty!

Ninth Uncle: Little Jin’er’s household rules aren’t bad.

...Ninth Uncle, I swear, you really know how to throw your niece under the bus.

Joanna: Sob sob sob, I want to do the dishes for Meow Meow Meow too.

To keep in touch with Qin Miaomiao, Joanna had specifically downloaded this app just to follow her updates—talk about dedication!

She was happily scrolling through Moments when Lu Qing dried his hands, glanced over, and gave a cold snort: "Are you taking pleasure in my suffering?"

"No, no, this is called showcasing love!"

Only then did Lu Qing’s expression soften a bit. He took her phone, pulled her into his arms, kissed her tenderly on the cheek, and snapped a photo. He then immediately posted it to her Moments, smiling broadly with all eight of his teeth showing:

"This is what you call showcasing love!"

Damn! You win!
