Chapter 45 Allowance? Dowry?
Luo Tao, who was about to enter the house, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He stopped by the door and turned to look at Mo Yan. His thin lips opened and closed as he spat out three words, “You are welcome.”
Mo Yan’s ears twitched when she heard his gentle tone. One of them had his back turned to cook while the other leaned against the door and watched. Even though there was no communication and no eye contact, there seemed to be a faint warmth circulating in this small space.
Mo Yan’s heart beat violently. She did not dare to look back at the man’s expression, but the imagination in her mind made her blush even more.
She put all her attention on her hands and picked out the black objects from the porridge bit by bit. She filled two bowls of water into the pot, stirred the rice grains with a spoon, and closed the lid.
Seeing that the porridge still needed to be boiled for a while, Mo Yan turned around and took out a bag of sour beans, potatoes and eggs from the refrigerator. She decided to use them to make pickled vegetables, and two potato egg cakes to eat with the plain porridge.
After putting the pickled beans onto a plate, Mo Yan skillfully scraped off the skin of the potatoes, cut them into thin shreds, and placed them aside in cold water to wash away the starch. Then, she took out a large bowl and mixed the right amount of seasonings. She cracked the eggs, stirred them, and poured in flour. Throughout this whole process, she did not forget to pay attention to the temperature of the porridge.
Luo Tao leaned against the door, his gaze following Mo Yan’s movements. The sun shone on her smooth black hair, as if it had cast a layer of halo over her entire body.
He had never thought that he would one day live such a life. In a small kitchen in his home, his wife would wash her hands and make soup for him. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Luo Tao suddenly felt his heart palpitate. Perhaps the current days could be considered as a blessing in disguise.
Looking at Mo Yan, who was cooking for him, Luo Tao recalled what had happened before. He knew that Mo Yan had been working hard in her company, so he said, “You work so hard and you still have to cook for me. How about you stop working?”
Hearing Luo Tao’s words, Mo Yan laughed lightly. She secretly sighed. Did he not know how expensive living costs were? After thinking for a while, Mo Yan teased, “How can I not go? Food, clothing, and accommodation. Moreover, I still have to support you! Am I right?”
Mo Yan did not turn around. Although she responded to Luo Tao, her hands did not stop moving. She picked up the lid of the pot and checked how the porridge was being cooked. She needed to be more meticulous in making the porridge over a small fire.

“I’ll support you.” Luo Tao almost said these three words, but when he thought of his identity as ‘Luo Tao’, he changed his words.
“Since you married me, won’t your family help us out? Do you need to work so hard?”
As soon as these words were said, Mo Yan’s hand trembled violently, and the spoon that was used to
serve the porridge almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, her back was facing Luo Tao, so he didn’t notice her anxious expression.
“No, no! Since I’m already married, I can’t ask for money from my family anymore. We need to rely on each other! If we both ask for money from our families, how are we going to live our lives? We have to plan how to spend money to save money. It’s not good if we only rely on our families!”
The more guilty Mo Yan was, the more she spoke. It was just like a sentence she had read before. If she lied the first time, she had to use countless lies to cover up the first lie. Their marriage was a lie and a scam. She needed to carefully protect these lies from being exposed.
“Is that so? It seems like I didn’t see you bring any dowry either.”
Luo Tao seemed to be speaking carelessly, but every word pierced through Mo Yan’s heart. Mo Yan had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn’t dare to open her mouth to confirm it. She could only think of ways to deal with it quickly in her mind.
Gritting her teeth, Mo Yan pretended to be a little angry. She stomped her foot and turned around to face Luo Tao. She glared at him fiercely and said, “Why are you thinking about my dowry! Is it that important to you?”

Mo Yan thought that Luo Tao would be angered by her words and leave after slamming the door. However, she did not expect Luo Tao to just laugh lightly and not get angry. Seeing that Mo Yan was still glaring at him, he raised his hands and pretended to surrender, “Okay, okay, okay. You deal with the money. I still have to rely on you to support me. I can’t make you angry. Don’t be angry, okay?”
After a moment of silence, Mo Yan finally could not hold it in anymore and burst out laughing
She didn’t know that Luo Tao was so good at coaxing people, and his way of coaxing people was so cute.
A pair of beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons as she chased Luo Tao back to the living room in amusement.
Mo Yan, who was left alone in the kitchen, couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. She had covered up her secret again today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? How long did she need to lie to him?
