Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 410 - 2: Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law (Part 2)

Chapter 410: Chapter 2: Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law (Part 2)

The original owner was really foolish. As a true favored daughter of the heavens, intelligent and capable, yet she exhausted all her efforts for this man, even harming her own body, only to end up in such a predicament.

Li Shuning took out a fever-reducing pill from the Qiankun Ring and swallowed it, letting her spiritual power flow out, bringing over a cup of hot water to drink.

At this moment, her spiritual power was quite strong, but her body was weak due to the fever.

After taking the medicine, she breathed a sigh of relief and flopped onto the sofa.

Lying there like that, two hours passed, and finally, she regained some strength.

It was already past eight in the evening, yet those two hadn’t returned.

Right, it had been raining heavily, and in these past days, the original owner spent all her time on proper business, completely focused outside, with no time to come home. She returned today because she really felt unwell, and others, seeing she looked frightening, forcibly sent her back.

Staying busy outside day and night, wasn’t she just providing opportunities for those two?

At eight-thirty, laughter and talking from outside drifted in.

Li Shuning sneered inwardly but sat up, coldly staring at the door.

Soon after, a man and a woman walked in, along with Li Shujiao’s delighted, playful voice.

"Brother-in-law, come with me tomorrow, okay? It’s so much fun."

Zhang Mingyang’s voice was gentle and affectionate: "Okay, okay, whatever you say."

After speaking, Zhang Mingyang clicked the light on.

As the light turned on, Zhang Mingyang saw Li Shuning’s eyes looking at him.

Zhang Mingyang was startled, even feeling somewhat relieved that the two of them hadn’t acted too intimately just as they entered.

In the past few days, when they returned, it was like lightning striking fire; they started doing that as soon as they walked in.

Fortunately, today the two already had fun outside, so they behaved more modestly upon entering.

"Wife, why didn’t you turn on the light, sitting here alone?" As someone known to others as a doting husband, Zhang Mingyang immediately rushed to Li Shuning, checking on her with concern.

Li Shuning, however, with a pale face, said, "I’ve been so busy these past days I’ve got a fever. Xiao Zhao and the others sent me back. Where did you guys go? Didn’t come home after work? I was so feverish I passed out, hungry too. If I died, no one would even know."

Zhang Mingyang hurried to hug Li Shuning, but Li Shuning pulled a pillow from her back and held it, making it inappropriate for Zhang Mingyang to hug her.

"Wife, what are you saying? Touch wood, that’s unlucky."

Li Shuning suddenly raised her voice and said, "Fine, looking at you two, you’ve been having a great time outside. Probably even ate, right? Zhang Mingyang, you really are something. Whom am I in this state for? You two are out frolicking. Go cook for me; I’m hungry, and boil me some water, I need a drink."

Zhang Mingyang had never cooked before. Usually, it was Li Shuning who took care of him.

However, this time he couldn’t refuse. First, he had a guilty conscience; secondly, Li Shuning’s state was indeed caused by too much work.

More importantly, without Li Shuning, Zhang Mingyang wouldn’t have it easy. The reason he had come this far wasn’t due to his exceptional skills but rather that his wife was extremely capable and willing to support him behind the scenes.

Many things, he depended on Li Shuning. If Li Shuning went on strike, he’d be in trouble.

Zhang Mingyang went to cook, while Li Shujiao didn’t want to face Li Shuning’s expression.

"Sister, it’s just being sick, why speak to us like this? I’ve been here in Jian City for a while, and you haven’t even accompanied me to browse around. Brother-in-law kindly accompanies me to take a look, and you say such things."

"Enough, Li Shujiao, are you unaware of the trouble you’ve stirred up? Did you come here to sightsee? If you feel I’m mistreating you, fine, when I’m better, I’ll accompany you every day; I’ll stop working altogether, okay? Or you can return to Du City. I think many would be willing to accompany you to play."

Li Shuning’s gaze was icy, unlike usual, and Li Shujiao was intimidated.

"Why are you being fierce? Fine, I just won’t go out to play anymore."

Li Shujiao dashed back to her room, afraid she might let slip a secret, which would arouse her sister’s suspicion.

Zhang Mingyang fussed in the kitchen for a long time, finally bringing out a pot of porridge, but as soon as Li Shuning took a sip, she spat it out—it tasted terrible.

Helplessly, Zhang Mingyang cleaned the kitchen while, by the time he came out, Li Shuning had taken the quilt to the guest bedroom to sleep.

Before those two returned, she had actually taken out some milk powder from the Qiankun Ring to drink, so she wasn’t too hungry now.

Zhang Mingyang was shocked, worried that Li Shuning was angry, so he went to ask. Li Shuning said she didn’t want to infect him.

All night, Zhang Mingyang felt inexplicably uneasy, worried that Li Shuning might have discovered something.

But on reflection, if she had found out, surely, she would have said something, right? Maybe she was just sick, and that’s why she was in a bad mood.

After all, anyone who’s sick and left uncared for would be unhappy.

Moreover, he knew how much Li Shuning loved him. Didn’t she marry him against all odds back then because she loved him?

Thinking this, Zhang Mingyang couldn’t help but feel proud.

He must really be quite charming, see, Li Shuning loves him, even the sister-in-law loves him.

Thinking of the sister-in-law’s youthful body, his body started to heat up.

No, no, he couldn’t think about that now; they were at home.

Then Li Shuning continued to rest at home. As for work, whoever wanted to do it, let them do it. In name, she was Zhang Mingyang’s secretary, yet the tasks she handled weren’t secretary’s work.

Zhang Mingyang had two secretaries, one was her, and the other was a male.

The male handled all the secretarial work, whereas many things Zhang Mingyang did were actually managed by Li Shuning.

Without Li Shuning, Zhang Mingyang was evidently a bit floundered.

Many things needed him to step in himself.

Braving the heavy rain, rushing around outside.

Yet he never thought about Li Shuning’s daily hardships, only thinking about how uncomfortable he was now, resenting why Li Shuning hadn’t recovered yet.

However, for the sake of his career, Zhang Mingyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry on.

Even though he was busy outside, he gained little, and many inexplicably felt something was off. Previously, when Secretary Li was around, everything was orderly, with everything settled neatly, right?

After Vice Mayor Zhang arrived, why did things feel like a mess?

Fortunately, Zhang Mingyang himself noticed something was wrong and stopped meddling easily.

He was smart enough to get where he was. He hated being looked down upon and kept striving upwards. One day, he would make those people regret.

At this moment, Zhang Mingyang eagerly hoped for Li Shuning to recover quickly.
