My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 230 - 39 Vulgar_2

Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback and couldn’t find words to refute. After thinking for a while, she said, "You’re being too extreme. The commoners who suffer from the oppression of the powerful are a minority in this world."

"I don’t care if it is the majority or the minority. I only know that if you are truly powerless, just encountering it once could be a catastrophe for me. I don’t want to gamble on that possibility, no matter how small the risk, I will confront it. A man who can’t protect his wife and child is just incompetent," Shen Chi’s expression darkened.

Lin Xiaoguai knew Shen Chi was thinking about the days when he was at the mercy of Liu Yuzhen, and she sighed, feeling a mix of heartache and helplessness.

Shen Chi had become this cunning and guarded, largely due to Liu Yuzhi’s significant role.

But upon further reflection, his words weren’t without merit.

In her previous life, Shen Chi managed to trap her for ten years and could have kept her trapped indefinitely if he so desired, all thanks to the power he held.

With this in mind, Lin Xiaoguai furrowed her brow, feeling uncomfortable. It had been a long time since she’d thought about the entanglements of her past life, and she couldn’t help but glare at Shen Chi resentfully.

Shen Chi was somewhat puzzled, "Why are you angry? If you don’t like hearing this, I won’t talk about it."

It’s not about talking; it’s about doing.

Lin Xiaoguai picked up on the implication and became even more sullen.

After a lifetime, she suddenly realized she couldn’t break away from Shen Chi not because he was autocratic, but because she was outmatched... Wasn’t it like her intelligence had been devoured by Shen Chi?

Thinking this, Lin Xiaoguai felt extremely frustrated.

Back at home, no matter how Shen Chi tried to coax her, Lin Xiaoguai just didn’t want to bother with him. Seeing his wife playing hard to get and addicted to it, Shen Chi really had no other choice but to carry her directly into the bedroom.

"What are you doing!?" Lin Xiaoguai returned to her senses and got frightened.

Shen Chi lifted an eyebrow, "What do you think I’m going to do?" He knew this method would work.

Though their son could barge in at any moment, he ultimately didn’t take it too far and just kissed her cheek, "What’s wrong with you today?" Wanwan would pout and show him attitude, and he would always understand why, but today he was completely baffled.

Lin Xiaoguai didn’t want to say it, and Shen Chi arched an eyebrow, "Hmm?" The single word was said with such nuance, it gave her goosebumps.

Unable to resist, Lin Xiaoguai stammered, "Do you think I’m lacking ambition?" And that’s why I can’t escape your grasp.

She would never actually say that last line.

"If you became ambitious, what would you need me for?" Shen Chi paused and then asked, "Isn’t the whole reason I’m working so hard to climb up for you and our child to enjoy the benefits?"

He reached out to touch her head, "You just need to be happy. Whether you want to grow flowers, submit articles, knit, or draw, it’s all fine."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoguai felt a mix of happiness and frustration. What was this? By saying this, was she just troubling herself over nothing? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

But the thought of actually striving for more...

Lin Xiaoguai sighed. Fame, power, and privilege were things she knew well in her past life, but they were too exhausting. Shamefully admitting, now she had no reason to divorce Shen Chi, why would she need those? After all, if she were ever bullied by the powerful, Shen Chi could absolutely take care of it.

Was she being too negative?

She thought resignedly. In her past life, Shen Chi had become a winner despite tough circumstances, and in this life, with the Han Family as his backing, he would go even further. Surpassing him seemed too difficult; it was better to save her energy.

Yet the thought of wanting to do something grew more pronounced.

"Big brother called, wanting to have sister-in-law introduce you to social circles. What do you think?" At this point, Shen Chi brought up serious matters.

Lin Xiaoguai instinctively furrowed her brows and then asked, "Do you want me to go?" She knew the importance of a wife’s role in social diplomacy. She was capable but didn’t enjoy it.

"Where did your thoughts wander off to?" Shen Chi laughed and kissed the corner of her eye, "A wife’s diplomacy is of limited help to me. Don’t go forcing yourself like Liang Yuwei. But I still hope you’d go."

"Why?" Lin Xiaoguai’s brief happiness turned sour, and she asked discontentedly.

"Nowadays, my background is no secret in high society. With a big mountain like Han Kuang backing me, and my career at the Military Department at its zenith, others are bound to suck up to you," Shen Chi’s laugh was deep and joyful, filled with boundless ambition.

"This is just the beginning. From now on, I will make sure that you’re always showered with admiration and treated as a VIP because of me."

His words were utterly trite, yet they formed the most touching vow.

An odd excitement emerged in her chest, and Lin Xiaoguai felt numbness spreading through her limbs. It was only when her breath was suddenly taken by Shen Chi’s kiss that she hazily realized she had been moved just before.

"Don’t tempt me..." As their lips pressed together, Shen Chi’s voice, frustrated yet delighted, resonated softly.

Lin Xiaoguai glared at him, but she didn’t push him away as usual in a fit of anger.

Shen Chi became even more triumphant, kissing her cheek meticulously, and remarked with a sigh, "It’s too bad it’s daytime." There was a nuisance of a little boy outside who could barge in as a third wheel at any moment.

After a long tender moment, Lin Xiaoguai finally asked, "How can your thoughts be so vulgar?"

"Vulgar?" Shen Chi was unconcerned, "The most practical things often seem vulgar. I’ll present you with all such vulgarities, one by one."

Wealth, fame, honor, a happy and prosperous life... all of it, everything. (To be continued.
