Call Me Husband

"Brother Yang, have some popcorn."

Chen Qian grabbed a kernel of popcorn and popped it into her mouth, nodding with satisfaction. Then she fed one to Li Yang, who ate it with a smile.

He slid his palm down her smooth, long leg. The twenty or thirty thousand yuan spent on clothes for Chen Qian was definitely worth it.

The two huddled together, whispering for a while and eating a couple of pieces of popcorn. As the movie started, even Li Yang, engrossed in caressing her leg, couldn't help but turn his attention to it. Unconsciously, they watched until past six o'clock.

After the movie ended, both Li Yang and Chen Qian felt they had enjoyed it. They held hands and went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, they went straight to the hotel.

Parked the car, took the elevator up, swiped the card to enter the room.

He tossed his clothes aside, lifted Chen Qian onto his shoulder, and rushed to the bed in three steps.

"..."

"Huh, Brother Yang, you have a call."

More than ten minutes later, the dark room was suddenly filled with the vibration of a phone. Chen Qian gasped for breath, one hand clutching Li Yang's hair, the other letting go of the tightly gripped mattress. Biting her lip, her face flushed, she picked up the phone.

"Why is it another unknown number?"

Chen Qian looked at the unknown number on the screen, impatiently tugging at Li Yang's hair. Just as she was about to hang up, Li Yang grabbed her hand, telling her to answer.

"Brother Yang~"

Chen Qian's face grew even redder. She really wanted Li Yang to stop, but there was nothing she could do. Li Yang wasn't listening to her at all, so she had no choice but to bite her lip and answer the phone.

"Hello, who is it?"

"I'm Liu Wu. Since you weren't interested in me, our matter needs to be settled. The meal I treated you to cost three hundred and thirty-five yuan, we need to split it. The hotel room for one night was one hundred and twenty-five, you need to refund me. Also, the milk tea I bought for you when we first met..."

She answered the call, not expecting it to be Liu Wu again, and his opening words made Chen Qian purse her lips, unable to speak.

But while Chen Qian couldn't speak, someone could help her. Li Yang raised his head. Chen Qian finally relaxed a little and spoke decisively, "Just tell me how much."

"How much? Do you think this can be solved with money? Do you know how embarrassing this is for me? Do you know about emotional distress? Also, I really want to know why you suddenly left without a word?"

"Hey, speak up!"

Liu Wu's questioning voice came from the other end of the phone. Chen Qian freed one hand and pressed the end call button.

"Brother Yang, what is our relationship now?"

After hanging up the phone, feeling her defenses about to completely crumble, Chen Qian quickly used the hand that had hung up the phone to push against Li Yang's chest. She was breathing heavily, her cheeks flushed like red wine.

"What relationship?"

Li Yang's mouth curved into a smile. At this point, she was still asking the obvious.

He bent down without saying much, his eyes burning as he moved forward. "As long as you're obedient, you can be my girlfriend, my treasure."

"Husband..."

Chen Qian's expression instantly became incredibly gentle, and her hands released the tightly clutched bedsheet.

"Sis, she hung up on me again!"

At the Wanke Hotel, in a hotel room, Liu Wu heard the busy signal on the phone and irritably threw it onto the bed. He turned to Liu Lili, who was sitting beside him, and said, "She blocked the last number I called, and now she's blocking yours. This is a brand new number I just got, don't let her block it too."

"What do you think she's doing?"

Liu Wu looked frustrated. He had met a beautiful girl on a blind date from his hometown, brought her out for just one day, and as soon as they held hands, she didn't want to be with him anymore. How upsetting was that?

Chen Qian was good-looking, and he was quite satisfied with her, but now she was pulling this stunt.

"She's got some nerve, daring to reject you! Is she crazy? My brother even took her out. How can she have the audacity?"

Liu Lili had long been fuming. She snorted and spoke sharply, then suddenly remembered, "What did she say to you on the phone just now?"

"She said, 'Just tell me how much.'"

Liu Wu snorted lightly, anger rising in his heart. Impatience flooded his face, and then he snorted again. "But is this about the money I spent on her? How dare she reject me! Where do I put my face? I need to ask her for emotional distress compensation!"

"Then calculate how much you spent on her in total, add the emotional distress compensation, and make her pay it all back. Even if she wants to get it back later, it will depend on our mood."

Liu Lili snorted and kicked him. "Calculate it, how much is it in total?"

"Three hundred and five."

Liu Wu took out his phone, calculated it immediately, and looked up at Liu Lili.

"Three... Let's ask her for thirty thousand!"

Liu Lili was stunned for a moment, but then she gritted her teeth. "You call her first and see if you can get through."

"Okay."

Liu Wu nodded and immediately redialed. After a moment, the phone rang. "It's through."

"When she answers, tell her this amount and see if she can come up with it."

Liu Lili snorted, crossing her arms over her chest. After thinking for a while, she took out her phone again and looked. Li Yang's message bar was still empty. She frowned. "Why hasn't he replied to the message I sent this morning?"

"Who is it, being so excessive?"

Liu Wu raised an eyebrow and turned to ask.

"That guy."

Liu Lili extended her pinky finger to indicate, and Liu Wu nodded in sudden understanding: "Oh, that jerk. If he dares not reply to your messages, don't give him a good look if he ever comes looking for you again."

"Alright, what are we discussing him for? He's not worth it."

Liu Lili waved her hand, not caring, and turned off her phone screen. In her heart, she was thinking about how she could forgive him when he came looking for her again, after she had sorted out her brother's issue.

At the very least, he had to buy her ten thousand yuan worth of things, otherwise, he shouldn't even think about this matter being over.

While Liu Lili was thinking, Liu Wu's phone rang for a while and then suddenly hung up automatically.

"Sis, nobody picked up."

Liu Wu put his phone away and said with a bit of confusion.

"Call again, I don't believe she won't pick up."

Liu Lili frowned and snorted lightly.

"Answer it, wait, answer it later..."

In the dimly lit room, the phone kept ringing.

Li Yang thought that it wasn't easy to go overboard at the beginning, so he didn't pay much attention, but then he suddenly noticed that Chen Qian's voice sounded a bit off. His eyes lit up, and he pulled her tightly into his embrace.

[You make me miss you so much, miss you so much...]

"..."

The phone's ringtone played in the room for a full thirty times. When the thirty-first call was nearing its end, a delicate hand reached towards where the phone was, then a finger swiped, and it was answered.

"Hello, what do you want?"

Chen Qian brushed away her sweaty bangs, her voice soft like sticky rice cake. As she spoke, her fair upper body rested on a pair of strong arms.
