Chapter 158: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 158: Good or Not
Bai Lu asked, "Do you want me to buy you a new pillow?"
Xiao Cheng replied, "No."
"If you do, you can use your card freely."
"No."
"It's not safe to keep the card with me."
"It's safe."
"What if someone steals it?"
"No one dares."
"..."
Bai Lu suspected that Xiao Cheng had been drinking before returning. Otherwise, why would he put such a valuable thing under her pillow? The key wasn't that it was under her pillow but that the bank card was there, making it quite unsafe.
Too easily exposed.
This was a serious issue that Xiao Cheng needed to address.
Bai Lu decided to get up first, have breakfast, plug in the electric chestnut roaster to prepare the first batch for delivery, and then have a good talk with Xiao Cheng.
"Ah Cheng?"
"Yeah."
"You sleep a bit more; I'll get up first to make breakfast. I'll call you when it's ready."
Bai Lu swiftly withdrew her hand buried in Xiao Cheng's chest and held his large hand at his waist, trying to release the card.
He resisted, tightening his strong arm around her waist.
Xiao Cheng's voice, still drowsy and mysterious, fell from her ear, "I don't want to eat."
Bai Lu: "..."
"But I'm hungry."
Weak and helpless.
The hand on her waist loosened, completely releasing her.
A hint of a smile crossed Bai Lu's eyes. She got up, put on a coat, pulled up the blanket, and covered Xiao Cheng.
Then she said, "You sleep a bit more; I won't disturb you. I'll call you later when breakfast is ready. You must eat; it's not good for your health to skip breakfast."
Xiao Cheng's eyes were closed, breathing steady. He seemed to be sound asleep, not hearing or responding.
Bai Lu leaned over to his ear, asking, "Is it okay?"
No response.
"Okay if I make breakfast for you, and you can eat and go back to sleep?"
Finally, Xiao Cheng was disturbed: "Fine..."
"Then continue sleeping."
Bai Lu left the room with light steps.
Didn't forget to gently close the door.
Turning around, she saw a little bald figure sitting at the Eight Immortals table piled with fruits.
The little guy, fixated on the phone on the high table, glanced in her direction when the door opened, then turned back to the phone.
"Big brother didn't call last night." The little one's voice sounded pitiful, sad, and then tried to console himself, "He must have been busy last night. He'll call back this morning. It's still early; he'll call soon."
After consoling himself, he added, "Big sister-in-law, don't worry. Big brother thinks of you every day and calls back every day. He'll definitely call back today."
Bai Lu felt he was overthinking: "Your brother has already come back."
Xiao Wei's face showed no surprise or joy: "I got up at five to wait for his call, but I didn't see him come back. You don't need to lie to me."
Xiao Wei's daily routine was very regular and disciplined, whether on weekends or weekdays, he never slept in. He would wake up early to help.
When Xiao Cheng was at home and Bai Lu was roasting chestnuts, Xiao Wei would wash dishes, feed the old hen and chicks.
Even during Xiao Cheng's absence, Xiao Wei helped Bai Lu with whatever he could and didn't neglect washing dishes and feeding the animals.
But he had never woken up this early.
He must be so anxious about Xiao Cheng's return that he couldn't sleep.
Bai Lu explained earnestly, "Your brother has really come back. He came back at half-past four last night and is sleeping now. Shall I wake him up for you to see?"
Xiao Wei was stunned, his eyes fixed on the closed bedroom door.
"Big brother, really back?" His voice was small, a mix of excitement, joy, and disbelief.
"Yeah." Bai Lu said and turned back.
Xiao Wei suddenly stood up and rushed over, blocking Bai Lu: "What are you going to do?"
Bai Lu, serious-faced, said, "Don't you want to see your brother? I'll wake him up for you."
Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously: "No need, no need. Big brother came back at half-past four, just slept for a short while. Let him sleep a bit more."
"He might be already half awake," Bai Lu said, "I talked to him just now."
Xiao Wei's heart tightened; his big brother's morning temper was terrifying. Being awakened from sleep could be horrifying. "Did big brother scold...no, did he ignore you?"
"No, he didn't."
Bai Lu shook her head, "I talked to him just now."
Remembering a while back, when he moved here, he learned to cook porridge for breakfast. When he went to knock on big brother's door, calling him to get up, big brother told him to go away. Big brother even said he would throw him out if he knocked again.
Big brother really loved Bai Lu more than him.
Having slept so late, being disturbed by Bai Lu didn't make her leave, but big brother spoke with her.
Looking at Xiao Wei's increasingly distressed face, Bai Lu couldn't help but walk over and pat his bald head, "Feeling tired? You slept so late last night; if you're tired, go back to sleep for a while. It's the weekend today; you don't have to go to school. After I make breakfast, I'll call you to eat."
Xiao Wei shook his head, "I'm not tired."
Making breakfast wouldn't take long. If he went to sleep now, he would wake up just after lying down. It was better not to sleep.
But Bai Lu, after making breakfast, actually wanted to wake big brother up! To eat breakfast!
"Wait!"
Bai Lu had just taken a step out of the kitchen when Xiao Wei hugged her thigh, using all his strength to stop her.
"Are you really going to wake big brother up for breakfast?"
"Yeah." Bai Lu, still wearing an apron, had already plugged in the electric chestnut roaster, adjusted the sugar syrup, and it was time to wake Xiao Cheng up for breakfast.
Xiao Wei vigorously shook his head, "Big brother doesn't want breakfast; he just wants to sleep now."
Bai Lu frowned, "That won't do. Skipping breakfast is not good for the body, and it can lead to stomach problems in the future."
Isn't there a saying?
"Ten CEOs, nine have stomach problems."
She couldn't let Xiao Cheng be one of those nine; he had to be the healthiest CEO!
In her previous life, when she met Xiao Cheng, he already had stomach problems. In this life, she had to prevent stomach problems from the beginning.
Xiao Wei knew that what Bai Lu said made sense, but...
"It's just skipping breakfast once; nothing will happen."
"No."
Bai Lu's tone dropped.
At the kitchen entrance, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared, with a cool tone, "What are you guys doing?"
