Chapter 102: Cannot Make the Decision

Published: October 7, 2026 | By peach_blossom

Lu Chuan said nothing, feeling a bit timid.

Fang Yuan sat up excitedly: “Say it. What good thing is it? I will find it for you. We will replenish ourselves.”

Seeing Fang Yuan’s face almost burning red, Lu Chuan gathered his courage and said, “You kiss me once, I...”

Before he even finished speaking, his face was slapped.

Lu Chuan held his head. It really hurt. “You, why do you start hitting people so suddenly...”

Fang Yuan put her hands on her hips, showing no trace of softness or weak vulnerability: “You are acting like a hooligan.”

Lu Chuan immediately got anxious and tried to reason it out. “We are husband and wife. You can sleep properly, why can’t I have you kiss me?”

Fang Yuan: “What does that have to do with anything?”

Lu Chuan thought to himself, This kind of thing, the mother-in-law is irresponsible, but I cannot be irresponsible. If my wife only half understands things, and later something embarrassing happens, or I end up being cheated on, then I would deserve it myself.

He hardened his heart, closed his eyes, grabbed Fang Yuan, and rushed forward. He had decided to risk getting beaten.

This sudden move caught Fang Yuan off guard. Otherwise he would not have succeeded.

The tigress truly lived up to her name. By the time Fang Yuan came back to her senses, Lu Chuan was already on the ground. No one even knew which foot had kicked him down.

Fang Yuan covered her mouth, glaring at him angrily: “You are actually this kind of person.”

Lu Chuan rubbed his face and touched his lips, speaking with conviction: “Other couples are like this. A proper relationship should be like this.”

Fang Yuan looked at him darkly: “You still want to trick me?”

Lu Chuan got up from the ground and sat by the bed. Given Fang Yuan’s temperament and her explosive nature, if she wants a child, I probably need to train some kind of anti beating skill first.

“I did not trick you. I am just telling you that your way of having a child is different from others. It is also to protect yourself.”

Lu Chuan felt his face burning a little. This excuse did not hold up. It was mainly his own lust causing trouble.

Just as he sat down, Fang Yuan rewarded him with another round of punches and kicked him back to the ground again.

The key point was that Fang Yuan felt she had lost face, so she warned him: “You wait. If you dare to fool me, I will deal with you.”

Then she declared unhappily: “Sleep.”

Lu Chuan sat on the ground and did not dare to get up. Where would he sleep? What if he got beaten again? Once the door was closed, he never had the initiative in matters between husband and wife.

Fang Yuan: “What are you dragging your feet for? I told you to sleep.”

Lu Chuan had picked up some of Fang Yuan’s way of speaking. His tone was bold, but his question was timid: “Where am I supposed to sleep? How am I supposed to sleep?”

Fang Yuan really understood his shamelessness now: “Where else do you want to sleep? Get up here. Rest properly. Since you already kissed me, you should properly think about ways to make money.”

Then Fang Yuan asked: “Does it work?”

Lu Chuan was confused. What does it mean, does it work?

Fang Yuan added: “Can your brain rest properly now? Can you think about ways to make money?”

At this critical moment, she still had not forgotten her original goal.

Lu Chuan considered whether he could withstand another beating and said, “Try kissing me again.”

Fang Yuan was impatient by nature. Investment must have returns. “I am asking you.”

Lu Chuan understood. Fang Yuan could not be kissed for nothing.

He slowly climbed onto the bed, then hugged the blanket and rolled over laughing, the kind of laughter that could not stop even after being beaten.

His own Fang Yuan was truly practical. Even at this moment she still remembered the kiss, refusing to waste it, insisting on letting her brain rest properly.

Fang Yuan’s face turned dark. She kicked him several times: “You are actually this kind of person. No wonder my mother says men are all bad. Disgusting.”

Lu Chuan stopped laughing: “How is that disgusting? That is your thinking that is wrong. I brushed my teeth.”

Fang Yuan: “You, shut up. Stay away from me in the future.” Then she added, “Sleep. That kiss was wasted. I lost out.”

This only made Lu Chuan laugh again and again. Fang Yuan eventually stopped bothering to hit him. That trick did not seem to work. His brain did not look very useful in this regard.

By the time Fang Yuan fell asleep, Lu Chuan was still laughing, still thinking that he would probably never find another person like Fang Yuan who could make him laugh without restraint.

The next day, Lu Chuan was supposed to send Fang Yuan back, because school would start the day after, and he still had to make another trip.

Fang Yuan refused his trouble and the waste of travel fare: “I am not a child. I will not get lost. No need to send me.”

Lu Chuan: “No, I am not at ease. Let’s go.”

Fang Yuan casually added: “Even if you send me, it is useless. I do not want to leave anyway.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up: “Then why don’t we look at housing? If we cannot buy, renting is also fine. I asked around, and houses near the university are not too expensive.”

For someone so focused on spending money, Fang Yuan did not even get angry: “It is not that. I am going to the construction site again. I saw they had many building tools there. I have not seen them before.”

Lu Chuan’s mind was still not very sharp from yesterday. He stupidly asked, “You are not going to accompany me?”

Is that not obvious? You are a student. Why would I accompany you? What, not make money anymore?

Fang Yuan said: “Why are your thoughts so off track? If we had money, would I need to carefully calculate buying a house in the provincial city?”

Lu Chuan’s reluctant feelings were completely cut off, not a single word came out. So his wife was thinking about making money first.

Perhaps one day, if he had money attached to him, Fang Yuan would put him first.

Fang Yuan started urging him: “Why are you still not leaving? Aren’t you going to school?”

Lu Chuan: “What school? Tomorrow. I will go with you to the construction site.”

Fang Yuan immediately became happy. In fact, she was not even sure she could find yesterday’s construction site again.

Alright, her trip here was not to send off Lu Chuan, but to gain experience.

Her sightseeing trip consisted of construction sites. And that was not all. Lu Chuan, without principles at all, saw how happy she was and took her to a combined market selling hardware, agricultural tools, and building materials.

Inside there were not only mixers, but also various construction auxiliary tools Fang Yuan had seen on site, such as electric drills, pneumatic breakers, and plate vibrators. That truly opened Fang Yuan’s eyes.

She looked so fascinated that she did not want to leave, almost wanting to take everything home. This girl’s taste was truly unusual.

Lu Chuan thought to himself that when Fang Yuan got angry in the future, it would not be something a silk scarf or a braid rope could calm. It would probably require buying a crane.

His thoughts drifted further and further off course. Several times he could not help but look up at the sky and laugh at himself. Then he forced himself to think about making money, otherwise he would not be able to coax his wife.

Looking at the prices of those things, Lu Chuan wondered whether Fang Yuan’s hobby counted as wasteful spending or just plain wasteful spending. She probably would not be able to save money.

They had done a couple of projects, so the family did have some money.

Seeing how much Fang Yuan liked it, Lu Chuan asked, “Did you bring money?”

Fang Yuan: “Of course. Since we are not at home, if I do not carry money with me, where would I put it?”

So when they left together, they ended up with an extra toolbox. Inside were not large items, but a few small and practical tools.
