Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1204

Seeing Houzi show genuine joy, Lu Jueyu’s eyes were full of curiosity, and she could almost smell the scent of gossip.

’There must be something going on between Houzi and that beautiful doctor,’ she thought with a grin.

At that moment, Houzi and Gu Mengyao didn’t know a pair of eyes full of interest were watching them from a distance.

Standing next to the wall, Houzi handed the money back to the woman in front of him and said, "You keep this money."

Hearing his words, Gu Mengyao frowned and said in a low voice, "Su Jun, if you don’t accept this money, I won’t dare ask for your help anymore. You deliver goods to my grandpa, and I pay you. That’s our deal."

When Houzi heard this, he lowered his gaze to look into her eyes and said, "Mengyao, I thought we were friends."

"Su Jun, if you treat me as a friend, then take this money. You have helped me and my grandpa so many times. If you don’t take this money, I would feel too embarrassed to even see you," Gu Mengyao said.

Noticing her stubbornness, Houzi sighed inwardly. They stared at each other for a long moment before he finally took two bills from her and said, "Mengyao, I’m helping you as a friend, so I will only accept this amount. If you want to repay me, cook a meal for me or invite me out to dinner."

When Gu Mengyao saw him finally accept the money, she smiled. Although he only took the cost of the goods, his acceptance eased her burden, and she agreed to his request, "Okay."

"I don’t know how to cook, so let’s eat in the cafeteria," she added with a smile.

Seeing her finally relent, Houzi smiled and asked, "What’s on the menu for today?"

"I heard the aunties are making sweet and sour pork, braised eggplant with tofu, and smashed cucumber salad. I don’t know where the hospital gets the fresh ingredients, but our menus are better than the state-owned restaurants," Gu Mengyao replied as they walked to the cafeteria.

Houzi chuckled at her words and didn’t tell her that all those ingredients were bought from him. The taste was bound to be better than the state-owned restaurants because most of the ingredients came from Xie Village. Compared to other suppliers, his goods were of higher quality.

After the two of them left the lobby, Lu Jueyu smiled like an aunty. She wondered if Houzi would be able to woo that beautiful doctor. Love between two people with such a big status gap wouldn’t be easy but it would be intense and burn with passions.

While she was still mulling over the juicy gossip she had stumbled upon, Li Chenmo returned. Seeing his wife grinning foolishly, he raised an eyebrow. Squatting in front of her, he looked into her eyes and asked, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing his words, Lu Jueyu snapped out of her thoughts and saw her husband was looking at her with a smile. She leaned closer and replied, "Husband, I saw Houzi with a beautiful doctor just now. I’m wondering what their relationship is."
