My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 208 - 118 Temporary Couple_3
After snapping back to reality, Li Nuo pushed her again and said, "Wife, it’s time to get up."
Li Anning was sleeping soundly and rubbed her eyes, asking, "So early?"
Li Nuo said, "It’s time to get up and go buy vegetables."
Li Anning sat up in bed, a beauty freshly awakened, stretching her arms lazily.
The upper garment she was wearing, lifted by her actions, exposed a delicate and pearly white waist as well as a faintly visible belly button.
Li Nuo silently lowered his head.
This wasn’t for him to see.
Li Anning also realized something and pulled her clothes down, getting out of bed as if nothing had happened.
There was only a faint blush on her face because the most embarrassing thing had already taken place the night before.
Just about to wash and freshen up, she suddenly remembered that her makeup had been meticulously applied by a woman with a less flattering figure - if she washed her face, wouldn’t it give her away?
But she hadn’t washed her face for two days and was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing her standing in front of the water vat in a daze, Li Nuo knew what she was thinking and said, "If you want to wash your face, wash it."
Li Anning turned and asked, "What about the makeup on my face?"
Li Nuo said, "It doesn’t matter. Your makeup has already smudged, and it needs to be reapplied anyway."
Li Anning asked doubtfully, "How so? Are we going to secretly invite that woman?"
Li Nuo said, "You don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways."
The area was under surveillance by Thief Sect, so it certainly wasn’t possible to secretly invite Phoenix over, but since a few days of his life had already been spent, a day or two more wouldn’t make much difference.
With a thought from Li Nuo, a portrait in the Law Code lit up instantly.
Although Li Anning didn’t know what Li Nuo was planning, the most comfortable part of working cases with him was that she didn’t need to ask why, she just needed to do as he said.
After washing her face with water, the young and beautiful Princess appeared once again before Li Nuo’s eyes.
Although Song Yu’s family was poor, he was truly good to his wife.
On the bedside table was a small vanity, complete with rouge, face powder, eyebrow pencils, and all other makeup essentials a woman might need, though they were of average quality. The few sheets of rouge paper from Phoenix could buy everything on the vanity.
Under such circumstances, one couldn’t be too picky.
When Li Nuo had Li Anning sit down in front of the vanity, she realized what was happening and asked in disbelief, "You’re not going to do my makeup, are you?"
Li Nuo asked, "Otherwise?"
Li Anning challenged, "Are you up to the task?"
Li Nuo didn’t say much, just replied, "You’ll see."
Phoenix may have been quite good at makeup, but she was no match for Assistant Minister Zheng’s concubine.
With swift strokes, Li Nuo applied and dabbed makeup on Li Anning’s face, and soon her beautiful features were concealed, restoring yesterday’s appearance.
Li Anning stared at herself in the copper mirror, amazed. To be able to precisely return to yesterday’s makeup meant his skills couldn’t be bad.
She couldn’t help asking, "Do you often do makeup for your wife?"
While shaping her eyebrows, Li Nuo said, "No, this is the first time I’ve done makeup for a woman."

Although the first time was for Mumu and the second for Ning’er...
But they were girls, not women.
Li Anning just asked casually; his wife wouldn’t even let him hold her, let alone do her makeup. For men and women, this was an even more intimate act than hugging.
It was also her first time holding hands with a man, being held by a man, and being made up by a man.
Now that they thought about it, having pretended to be husband and wife for two days, it seemed they lost many precious first times...
If it had just been her firsts, she might have kept a little discontent in her heart.
But if it was the first time for both of them, it didn’t seem so regrettable.
Moments later, hand in hand with Li Nuo, Li Anning stepped out of the house.
At a nearby street corner, two beggars lying on the ground saw this and got up, slowly following behind them.
Li Nuo detected the two followers almost immediately, not just these two beggars, but also two passersby in the crowd, and a peddler carrying his load—all from Thief Sect, keeping an eye on him.
His mind automatically began to ponder how to shake them off.
Of course, losing them was impossible, as he wanted them to watch from the shadows.
Yet this familiar sensation plunged Li Nuo into contemplation, feeling as if when Assistant Minister Zheng’s concubine’s portrait was last lit, he had experienced a similar feeling.
This couldn’t be a coincidence.
Clearly, besides being good at playing shuttlecock and applying pretty makeup, Assistant Minister Zheng’s concubine had an exceptional talent for reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.
She would be a top-level female spy.
However, at that moment, Li Nuo didn’t have time to wonder about this, as he and Li Anning finished buying vegetables and returned home together.
Song Yu and his wife normally cooked at home.
Eating at a restaurant was fine occasionally, but doing it daily would certainly arouse suspicion.
One couldn’t expect the Princess to cook.
Previously, living on his own, Li Nuo usually ate takeaway, but sometimes when he didn’t fancy it, he would cook for himself.
His cooking skills were passable, not on par with a master chef, but better than Phoenix who could only cook noodles; preparing a few simple homestyle dishes was no problem for him.
Before long, after a busy morning, the two of them sat at a small table in the yard, looking somewhat disheveled.
Li Nuo’s hair was dusted with a bit of flour.
Li Anning’s face was streaked with black and white from tending to the fire.
