Li Daming's mouth moved for a while before he finally spoke: "Thank you, Doctor Luo."
"Please don't say that, it sounds creepy to ," Luo Chao said with a smile. Who wouldn't find it creepy, looking at Li Daming as if he'd lost his father, even though he'd "co back to life," his family's assets were nearly depleted. Luo Chao was well aware of this.
Li Daming shook his head with a bitter smile, not saying anything more.
Ning Wanxi said coolly: "Since everything's settled, let's go."
Luo Chao nodded, picked up little Doudou, kissed her cheeks a couple of tis, and followed behind Ning Wanxi, walking out of the hotel.
As Luo Chao sat in the car, Ning Wanxi held Doudou in the backseat and suddenly said: "You made ten million like this so easily. Have you regretted signing that agreent with ?"
Luo Chao was a bit stunned, no wonder, he'd suddenly beco able to make money like this. His nominal wife was naturally worried he might break the agreent. He replied with a chuckle: "At first, I really just went for the money, but I love my current life. Even if I had enough to pay the penalty for breaching the contract, I wouldn't break it. So, Ning, you don't need to worry about breaking our agreent."
Ning Wanxi gave a faint smile: "I really can't see through you, you seem very inclined towards stability."
At the corner of Luo Chao's mouth, there was a touch of bitterness, as if he recalled those unforgettable past events, those brothers who fought alongside him but could never be seen again. His expression showed a deeper gloom, such lancholy made Ning Wanxi's heart tremble. She really didn't know what Luo Chao had been through, why he always seed to exude a heart-wrenching sorrow.
Being expelled from the military was sothing Luo Chao found hard to accept. It wasn't that he liked violence, but he feared settling down. Only on the battlefield, during intense training, could he forget the pain and the death of good brothers.
Luo Chao quickly recovered, a mischievous smile appeared as he chuckled: "Ning, if you could see through , wouldn't I beco your real husband?"
Ning Wanxi furrowed her brows: "You've got a big flaw, you're really shaless."
Luo Chao chuckled twice, raised his eyebrows: "Isn't there a saying, 'He who is shaless is invincible'? Thanks for the complint, Ning."
"."
Ning was suddenly speechless, her face turned cold as she decisively extended her small hand, which made Luo Chao's heart skip a beat as he asked: "Ning, what are you doing?"
"Hand over the money," Ning said coolly.
Luo Chao was dumbfounded, he really couldn't help but find it both infuriating and amusing: "What money?"
Ning Wanxi snorted: "Stop pretending to be confused. The ten million you just made from healing!"
"Damn!" Luo Chao couldn't help but swear, Ning Wanxi's face imdiately turned severe—damn Luo Chao, he actually swore in front of her.
Luo Chao was feeling quite upset, but considering she was a great beauty and nominally his wife, he found it difficult to say anything, as if a million curses ran through his mind, leaving him incapable of voicing his complaints!
At that mont, Luo Chao took a deep breath to suppress his inner indignation, feeling aggrieved: "I say, Ning, what do you want? We're just a pair of fake spouses, and you even hired to be your husband, you should be giving money, how co you're asking for it back? Is there no justice left?"
Ning Wanxi's beautiful eyes flashed with cunning, completely overturning her usual ice queen deanor, driving Luo Chao sowhat crazy. He recalled the mountain of plush toys he'd seen in her boudoir that night, realizing Ning had a playful girl's heart.
"Just as you said, we're fake spouses, but regardless, fake spouses are still spouses, so I can exercise my rights as a wife, and you should fulfill your duties as a husband by handing over money!" Ning Wanxi said earnestly, making it sound very convincing.
Luo Chao's face collapsed: "Ning, let's not joke around, please."
"Who's joking with you?" Ning's face turned serious: "I wouldn't want your ten million. Once our agreent ends, I'll give it back to you."
The Tengyuan Group belongs to the Ning Family, and Ning Wanxi is an only child, so ten million is nothing to Ning Wanxi. Ning Wanxi also said: "You're used to being poor. If you had this large sum, you wouldn't focus your attention on the family, and our agreent would be no more valuable than scrap paper."
Ning Wanxi looked at Luo Chao's indignant expression, explaining her point, which was clearly effective since Luo Chao was indeed used to being poor. He still smoked the ten-yuan premium Red Golden Dragon cigarettes, but this ten million was ant to go to Leopard to invest in starting his company, though Luo Chao understood well that Ning Wanxi wouldn't agree.
To put it bluntly, once a man has money, he'll surely have plans for romance. Trying to use ten million to woo won, that's impossible!
Luo Chao regretted letting Ning Wanxi co along. Since Ning Wanxi was playing this card, he thought about it and suddenly laughed, a reaction that made Ning Wanxi's heart feel cold, sensing nothing good would co.
Indeed, Luo Chao said smilingly: "Ning, you really said it well!" With that, he unceremoniously shoved the bank card into Ning Wanxi's hand.
Ning Wanxi held his bank card, her delicate shoulders trembling slightly: "What do you an?"
"Even for an agreent couple, obligations between spouses must be fulfilled," Luo Chao laughed lasciviously: "So you'll need to fulfill your duties as a wife, don't forget not to close the door tonight!"
Seeing Luo Chao's lewd look, Ning Wanxi's heart jolted fiercely, she couldn't help but shrink back, furiously saying: "Go to hell! If you dare misbehave, I'll kill you!"
"Ning, that's really unfair, you're allowing the officials to start fires but not the commoners to light their lamps," Luo Chao teased with a smile.
Ning Wanxi snorted, didn't respond further, anyway, the bank had been seized, no matter how he chattered, she wouldn't engage.
Seeing Ning's arms folded over her ample chest, her face as cold as ice, Luo Chao knew it was futile to reason with her, fine, a good man doesn't argue with a woman, especially not with the wife.
But at this mont, a sly smile appeared on Luo Chao's lips. How would Ning Wanxi know he carried two bank cards in his wallet? The one he gave her was the salary card, while the ten million was deposited in another card. Giving the salary card to the wife is a given, while the stash of pocket money left in the other card is surely not to be handed over.
Since Ning Wanxi was a super wealthy beauty, ten million ant nothing to her. It was clear enough from Ning Wanxi not even bothering to ask for the bank card's password.
