Chapter 3: Pleasure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“He got beaten? When did it happen?”

Lin Fan innocently glanced at Yan Shun, then pulled the chicken out of the sack. During the process, she discreetly sniffed the scent, making sure the chicken’s aroma masked the smell of blood on her. Only then did she hand the sack over to Yan Shun.

With this chicken as a cover, even if they burned the sack, no one would suspect her of having anything to do with Li Wei getting beaten.

Just thinking about it made her happy.

However, Yan Shun got the news so quickly; did Li Wei report the incident and make it a big deal?

“You…”

Yan Shun was taken aback. Lin Fan seemed indifferent to Li Wei, even a little… pleased?

Once this thought crossed his mind, Yan Shun was startled.

Lin Fan used to be very fond of Li Wei, how could her attitude change so suddenly? He’d rather believe that the sun hadn’t risen from the west.

“What about me?” Lin Fan looked at Yan Shun’s expression, finding it somewhat amusing, but she didn’t show it. “Li Wei got what he deserved for cheating me out of quite a bit of money. This chicken is just to celebrate the justice delivered to him!”

Lin Fan thought to herself that this was far from over. Beating up Li Wei was just collecting a small interest. Moreover, there were no surveillance cameras in that alley, and she and Li Wei had never had direct contact. Even if someone saw, they could not prove she had been near him. These were all her safeguards.

Yan Shun was at a loss for words for a moment.

Lin Fan’s ability to change was something he should have been happy about, but the rapid shift left him uncertain and even made him wonder if something was wrong with Lin Fan’s mind.

Yan Shun recalled the moment when someone had informed him about Li Wei being beaten. Now he wondered if Lin Fan had deliberately let him know about it.

What was he thinking at that time?

He thought Lin Fan would be very upset upon hearing the news, right? So he became gloomy and quickened his pace.

And when he returned home to find the empty house, he also wondered if Lin Fan had gone to check on Li Wei with the money in hand.

After reminiscing for a moment and observing Lin Fan’s current attitude, Yan Shun could not help but want to ask her if she was playing with him. But he was also afraid that Lin Fan might have second thoughts again.

“What are you thinking?”

Lin Fan shook her head inexplicably in front of Yan Shun and then gently pushed him out of the kitchen. “If you have something on your mind, go think about it outside. Don’t disturb me while I’m cooking. Just wait for your meal later.”

With that, Lin Fan skillfully put on an apron and started to prepare the chicken.

In her previous life, even though she had dedicated 20 years to making the company go public, she had never neglected her own life. She had always been the one to cook, and her culinary skills had become impeccable.

Yan Shun, on the other hand, was busy with his military duties on weekdays. The Original Owner was lazy but didn’t like to cook. However, she demanded meat in every meal, which eventually made her gain a lot of weight.

During lunch, Lin Fan noticed the stark difference between their lunchboxes. Her lunch had at least four different dishes, while Yan Shun had just a simple dish. If it were her, she would feel guilty for such a discrepancy, so guilty that it would keep her up at night.

This man was clearly aware of his wife’s cheating ways, and yet still took care of her so well. How could such a man exist?

Lin Fan wished she could drag the Original Owner out and scold her a few times. At the same time, she felt sorry for Yan Shun. So, she decided that she would cook for herself from now on and even lose some weight!

Before Yan Shun could speak, he found himself locked out of the kitchen. He sighed and sat down at the table.

Although Lin Fan seemed like a different person, there were still some holes that needed to be filled. He was going to the military base this afternoon, and he did not know how to face his superiors. But with some improvisation, he should be able to manage.

Soon, a delightful aroma wafted in, and Yan Shun came back to his senses, looking toward the direction of the kitchen in astonishment.

Did Lin Fan really cook?

In his memory, Lin Fan hardly ever entered the kitchen, and she did not even bother to sweep the floor. She spent her days either eating or lying down, or going to see Li Wei.

Lin Fan came out with a bowl of soup, her face lit up with a smile.

“From now on, let’s not eat at the cafeteria; we should cook our own meals. It’s healthier and more delicious.”

Lin Fan was very satisfied with her creation and took a deep breath of the aroma, feeling content.

Yan Shun looked at Lin Fan in surprise. Although he was amazed, the reality made him furrow his brows. “But our food coupons…”

Food coupons were essentially vouchers for purchasing food. Lin Fan’s smile froze as she heard his words. She knew exactly what Yan Shun wanted to say and suddenly realized that in this era, all transactions for basic necessities like food and clothing required these vouchers.
