Standing so close to Chu Weirang, Su Si could clearly see the handsome man’s face twitch ever so slightly.
His mischievous smile grew wider.
“Husband, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Chu Weirang maintained his usual cool, detached demeanor.
As though he had not heard the Omega’s words at all, he simply repeated himself.
“You’ve guessed wrong.”
Su Si was not discouraged in the slightest.
He continued guessing.
“Then it must be ‘My Most, Most Beloved Wifey’?”
Chu Weirang: “…”
The great villain finally realized something important.
Unless he gave this particular person what he wanted, the little troublemaker would continue wasting his time indefinitely.
Frowning at the seductive little fox who had finally revealed his tail, Chu Weirang simply took out his phone and placed it in Su Si’s hand.
“Change it to whatever you want.”
How could someone as shrewd as Su Si possibly fail to understand what those words meant?
This was clearly a concession.
And since this was Chu Weirang’s work phone, having his preferred contact name displayed on it would be more than enough to ensure that the people around them no longer dared look down on him as the Chu family’s male spouse.
A faint smile curved the little fox’s lips.
He gazed intently at the man, raised an eyebrow, and opened WeChat right in front of him.
As he changed his contact name, he deliberately read it aloud in the polished, formal voice of a professional announcer, making certain everyone nearby could hear.
“My Most, Most Beloved Darling Wifey, Su Si.”
“Husband, what do you think of that name?”
Compared with Su Si’s warmth and enthusiasm, Chu Weirang’s expression was so indifferent that he might as well have been looking at a complete stranger.
“What do you think?”
Again!
That same question again!
Su Si leaned bonelessly against the man’s chest.
With an affectionate gaze, he nodded.
“Naturally, I think it’s wonderful.”
Chu Weirang knew that if he said anything else, Su Si would undoubtedly find some ridiculous argument to counter it.
He could no longer be bothered to deal with him.
“As long as you’re happy. Can you let me go now?”
This was truly the first time Chu Weirang had encountered someone like him.
He had to admit that he was completely unsuited to dealing with such a troublesome person.
What a headache.
Su Si had no idea what Chu Weirang was thinking, nor did he know what the surrounding servants thought of him.
All he knew was that he had won this particular battle.
Was that enough?
Of course not.
In the original novel, after the original Su Si injured his head but survived, the villain had indeed come to check on him.
However, the original owner had already lost consciousness by then.
Chu Weirang had merely appeared briefly before leaving.
As a result, none of the servants in the villa had regarded the male spouse with any respect.
Although the original owner had brought that situation upon himself, Su Si had no intention of allowing the same thing to happen to him.
He had finally managed to enter such an extraordinarily wealthy household.
How could he possibly consider this experience worthwhile if he did not obtain a few benefits?
At the very least, he could not end up like the original owner, who had eventually been bullied mercilessly by the villa’s low-ranking servants.
“Not yet, Husband. Are you very busy today? Why do you keep insisting on leaving?”
Chu Weirang: “…”
The man regarded him with an exceedingly complicated expression.
He genuinely wanted to pry open Su Si’s skull and examine what sort of strange structure lay inside.
The two of them were hardly close!
In fact, today was practically the first time they had ever interacted at such close quarters.
Ordinarily, they barely exchanged more than a few words.
So why did Su Si suddenly make it seem as though they had been intimately acquainted for years?
Chu Weirang contemplated the matter for a long time.
In the end, his good upbringing prevented him from simply ignoring the question.
“Mm.”
He gave a brief response.
Unexpectedly, his newly acquired wife had no intention of letting him off.
Su Si seized his hand and began pulling him back the way they had come.
“Actually, I have something very important to discuss with you today. Listen to what I have to say first, and then I’ll let you leave.”
Without giving Chu Weirang an opportunity to object, Su Si assumed the role of master of the household with remarkable ease.
He turned toward a nearby servant and issued an order as naturally as though he had been doing so for years.
“Go and prepare some tea. Bring it to our room. We have something important to discuss. Understood?”
The servant froze.
After a moment, he finally nodded in acknowledgment.
“Yes, Madam.”
Chu Weirang: “…”
He had a strong premonition.
Starting today, the balance of power in this household was about to change.
Was this what having a wife felt like?
This was Chu Weirang’s first marriage.
He was beginning to feel rather dizzy himself.
He truly did not understand any of this.
Perhaps he should ask his assistant about it later.
With his arm firmly held captive, Chu Weirang could do nothing but allow Su Si to drag him back into the bedroom under the curious gazes of the servants.
The instant the door closed behind them, the people outside erupted into conversation.
“Did you see that just now? Were those really our master and his spouse?”
“Could both of them have been replaced by impostors?”
“Surely not! Never mind everything else—their faces would be almost impossible to reproduce!”
“Then why was the master suddenly so… um… gentle toward Madam? Honestly, seeing him act that gently is even more frightening!”
The servants were completely bewildered.
They could not understand what had happened.
All they knew was that the entire situation was rather terrifying.
“Could it be that men change completely the moment they get married?”
“I’ve heard something like that before, but what I heard was that married men like fooling around with other people and then pretending not to know anything when their wives confront them! How is that anything like what our master is doing?”
Meanwhile, the supposedly gentle master had been forcibly pressed back into the very seat he had occupied earlier.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Chu Weirang fell into deep contemplation.
Su Si, on the other hand, was smiling with extraordinary sweetness.
He looked at his husband in name and went straight to the point.
“Husband, although our marriage was rather hurried, I know that we love each other very much. So there’s just one little question I’d like to ask you.”
Chu Weirang gave a derisive snort.
Love each other?
Nevertheless, he was rather curious.
What sort of question could possibly require Su Si to go through so much trouble?
The man sat perfectly upright.
His gaze sharpened slightly.
“Ask.”
Su Si savored that response.
It was entirely in keeping with Chu Weirang’s personality.
Rubbing his hands together expectantly, he asked, “I know you probably won’t give me your salary card the way an ordinary husband might, but since I’m now a member of the Chu family, shouldn’t I at least receive a little spending money?”
Chu Weirang: “…”
The look he gave Su Si was extraordinarily complicated.
He had gone to all this trouble…
And this was what he wanted to ask?
Spending money?
Chu Weirang closed his eyes.
After letting out a long, slow breath, he finally spoke again.
“How much do you want?”
Truthfully, Su Si did not consider himself particularly greedy.
He thought that ten thousand yuan a month would be perfectly sufficient.
After all, he did not need to do much.
The Chu family was providing him with a place to live, and all three of his daily meals could be taken care of in the villa.
He genuinely felt that amount would be enough.
And so, he slowly raised one finger.
Before he could even open his mouth, Chu Weirang had already nodded, apparently accepting the amount Su Si was requesting.
“Ten million a month?”
Su Si: “???”
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Seeing the Omega’s dumbfounded expression, Chu Weirang stiffened slightly.
What?
Was it not ten million?
Su Si quickly recovered.
This time, he could not even contain his smile.
“Ten million… Ten million is wonderful! Thank you so much, Husband~!”
His voice, already sweet enough to make a person’s teeth ache, became even more exaggeratedly sugary.
Goosebumps spread across Chu Weirang’s entire body.
Still, he could not shake the feeling that he might have misunderstood Su Si’s original meaning.
He decided to confirm it.
“You were asking for ten million just now?”
“That’s right! Exactly ten million.”
Su Si nodded with utmost seriousness.
Then he immediately resumed showering his husband with flattery.
“As expected of my husband! We really are a married couple who understand each other~ without~ even~ speaking~~”
