Chapter 413: My Wife Is Great at Making Money

Boss Cutie

The boss had never imagined that Jiang Muye would be so shrewd and capable, so he started playing the pity card. "You're already doing business as a big boss, it's not like you're short on money."

"I'm not short on money, but I still have to pinch pennies." Jiang Muye's money-making investments all carried risk, and besides, once he'd earned money he needed to manage it sensibly. He couldn't just squander it endlessly, and haggling was the basic routine of any vegetable market.

Furthermore, Jiang Muye had held back quite a bit and hadn't even demanded they round down to the nearest yuan, which was enough to show how stingy this boss was.

The boss thought for a moment, then nodded. "Good, good, good, then eight yuan it is."

As Jiang Muye took the vegetables, he said to Leng Ruoli, "Another trick is haggling."

"You're haggling way too ruthlessly," Leng Ruoli muttered quietly beside Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye laughed. "Ruthless? I haven't even inherited a third of my mom's essence. She can haggle those vendors until they're crying for mercy without feeling the slightest bit of pity."

Leng Ruoli pictured that scene, and a smile filled her little face. "Then Auntie really is capable. Compared to her, I'm too clumsy."

"Clumsy? My mom can't do calculus like you, and when it comes to making money she can't match a twentieth of what you do." Jiang Muye was telling the truth. Although Leng Ruoli was a Rich Second-Generation, her talent for making money was no small thing.

Leng Ruoli had a keen eye and had invested in quite a few projects, all of which had earned her a fortune.

On this point, Jiang Muye truly admired Leng Ruoli. She clearly had no System, and she hadn't studied business either, yet she could handle projects big and small in the business world with effortless ease. She was an outstanding heiress to a financial empire.

Yet in front of him, she had turned into a beautiful little fool.

But Jiang Muye liked that contrast in her. After all, being with a girl who loved scheming and calculating, living each day with such careful accounting, would be exhausting.

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli continued shopping for groceries, and in the end Leng Ruoli tried to haggle the way he did, only to go way too hard and directly cut the price in half.

Jiang Muye reminded her from the side, "That's too much haggling."

Leng Ruoli's eyes blinked furiously in panic, and she asked Jiang Muye, "So what should I do?"

Looking at her adorably blank expression, Jiang Muye smiled and stepped in to smooth things over. The boss cheerfully gave them a low price, they got their goods, and he even threw in a bunch of scallions.

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli bought a great many things at the vegetable market, a whole pile of big and small bags. Jiang Muye carried them, and when Leng Ruoli tried to snatch some, he wouldn't let her.

"I've got it," Jiang Muye said, dodging her reaching hand.

Leng Ruoli said unhappily, "It's heavy, let me help~ I'm going to mooch a meal later, so if I don't help at all, I'll feel too guilty."

"What's wrong with feeling guilty? As my girlfriend, you just eat without a care in the world." Jiang Muye smiled. "I can carry all of this, we'll be outside in no time, it's not heavy at all. I could even carry you and it'd be fine. Do you think these things could stump me?"

But Leng Ruoli cast a worried look at Jiang Muye. "I feel for you, I want to share the load~"

"Alright, baby, I know~ You just need to follow me and not get lost~"

"I'm not a child."

"Alright, little kid, keep up~!" Jiang Muye said to Leng Ruoli with a smile.

Leng Ruoli playfully patted Jiang Muye's back. "Don't worry, I'll be following you for the rest of my life. You won't be able to shake me off even if you try!"

Looking at Leng Ruoli's clingy manner, Jiang Muye's mood soared.

He carried the things to the parking lot, and Leng Ruoli quickly opened the trunk so Jiang Muye could put everything inside.

After setting the things down, Leng Ruoli reached out and began applying hand cream to Jiang Muye's hands.

Jiang Muye watched in surprise as Leng Ruoli gently kneaded his hands, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"

"Protecting your hands, and giving you a massage while I'm at it." Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly.

"So thoughtful." Jiang Muye was a carefree person, and he was lucky to have such an attentive Leng Ruoli to look after him.

"Of course, I… am going to be your wife someday, after all." Leng Ruoli's little face flushed bright red as she said this, incredibly embarrassed.

The more she went on, the louder she got, until her voice was as tiny as a little mosquito.

Jiang Muye had to perk up his ears to catch the words.

Looking at Leng Ruoli with her face blooming pink, Jiang Muye said with great solemnity, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Being my wife is an upright and bright matter, and one that brings great honor to your ancestors."

After hearing Jiang Muye's words, Leng Ruoli's little hand affectionately stroked Jiang Muye's handsome face and replied, "You really are thick-skinned."

"I'm stating facts, alright." Jiang Muye kissed Leng Ruoli's palm, teasing her until she was thoroughly flustered, and she urged him, "Okay, hurry up and let's go up."

This time she helped Jiang Muye carry the things, and when he tried to take them, she refused, even running off with them.

Jiang Muye watched her "willful" manner and shook his head. He absolutely adored this little drama queen of his.

After returning to the villa with her, Jiang Muye began placing everything on the kitchen counter.

Leng Ruoli was helping sort the ingredients and taking them out to wash.

"Let me do it." Jiang Muye wanted to take over, but Leng Ruoli had no intention of being a hands-off boss. Instead, she said to Jiang Muye, "I'll do what I can. I can't just mooch food and drink, after all. I may not know how to cook, but I can be your helper."

Although the classes Leng Ruoli had signed up for hadn't shown very obvious results, she could still handle some basic small household chores.

Seeing how insistent Leng Ruoli was, Jiang Muye didn't stop her.

Leng Ruoli washed the vegetables very seriously and very carefully, and on this point alone Jiang Muye couldn't hold a candle to her.

The two of them divided the work very clearly, with Jiang Muye handling the ingredients.

As Jiang Muye was chopping vegetables, he heard a "Yikes," and Leng Ruoli, as if she'd been fitted with a spring, came bouncing over to Jiang Muye's side.

Jiang Muye pressed against her soft body and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? What gave you such a fright?"

"This fish is too scary." Leng Ruoli whimpered and started asking Jiang Muye for help.

Jiang Muye's gaze fell on the black bag in the sink.

The fish inside was very fresh and was still flopping around, making even the bag bounce along with it.

You could say it was full of energy.

No wonder Leng Ruoli was scared. Even he felt a bit daunted when he saw it.

At the time, he hadn't asked the vegetable vendor to kill the fish, all so it would stay fresher. He had never imagined it would create trouble for himself.

Jiang Muye couldn't just chicken out, so he said to Leng Ruoli, "I'll do it."

It was just a fish. It wasn't like he'd never handled a fish before.

Jiang Muye opened the black bag, and the sea bass inside had already jumped out.

Good heavens, it was a huge fish, a real whopper.

It was full of life, not the least bit wilted, and its fighting spirit was very strong.
