Chapter 137: Chapter 137

"I heard something last year." Lu Cheng’s eyes flickered with disgust toward Esie, "He... even went as far as... assaulting a pregnant woman."

"This incident wasn’t exposed, not only because of the Burles family, but also because... she was his wife!"

Lu Cheng sighed, his eyes showing a hint of pity, "That child was already four months old, but unfortunately, just like that, gone."

Yu Man’s pupils contracted, thinking of the expressionless female sitting opposite Esie Burles.

Yu Man knew Esie Burles was a lunatic, but she didn’t expect him to be this crazy...

Just thinking of Esie Burles’ shameless demeanor made Yu Man sick to her stomach.

Even the pregnancy reactions that hadn’t appeared were brought on by him. Read complete versıon only at novel[f]ire.net

Yu Man frowned, somewhat worried about Lai.

"By the way, I haven’t asked you, why is that maniac Esie Burles here? Does he know your Beast Husband?"

"I don’t know why he suddenly showed up either." Yu Man was also unsure, "Lai... does know him."

Yu Man briefly explained to Lu Cheng about Lai and the Burles family’s issues.

Lu Cheng took a sharp breath, "Esie Burles is a madman; it’s impressive and gutsy that your Beast Husband managed to escape from the Burles family."

Yu Man made a sound of agreement.

"Esie Burles couldn’t be here just to take revenge on Lai, could he?" Otherwise, he would have come by now, right?

"I might know something." Shang Yuan walked up to Lu Cheng.

"What do you know? Quickly tell me!" Lu Cheng grabbed Shang Yuan’s hand.

"It’s probably related to the Rest Pod issue." Shang Yuan said.

The Burles family, despite their notorious reputation, did well in medical equipment and ran a suppressant business.

"To them, the Rest Pod is practically stealing their profits."

Before the Rest Pod, aside from relying on females’ Spiritual Sea, only suppressants could stabilize mental chaos.

Few merchants were authorized to sell suppressants, indicating how much profit could be gained.

"Now, with the Rest Pod known across the planet, everyone has seen its effectiveness, and halting further development would only spark public anger."

So, the best would be to acquire the Rest Pod technology and monopolize it as much as possible.

That’s the face of a capitalist.

"The Burles family definitely intends to acquire the Rest Pod technology too."

If they can’t get it, given the Burles family’s unscrupulous nature, who knows what they might do.

"But fortunately, with the Guan Family backing you now, they have to be wary."

As long as the second and third phases of trials succeed and the Rest Pod is successfully marketed, there will be fewer worries.

Yet, many are eager to see the Rest Pod experiments fail.

Some people hold the belief that if they can’t get it, they’re going to destroy it.

"You guys should be careful." Shang Yuan warned.

Yu Man responded with agreement, "Alright, I understand."

The Rest Pod project couldn’t be accomplished alone, naturally.

However, even when seeking partners, thorough vetting was necessary. Entities like the Burles family were immediately ruled out.

"Alright! Forget about these things and just enjoy your time at my place today! I’ve been experimenting with a new dessert! Could you help me try it later?" Lu Cheng said excitedly.

Yu Man had barely agreed when she heard Lu Cheng’s next sentence, a cold sweat broke out instantly.

She glanced at Shang Yuan, signaling: Why didn’t you tell me earlier she was going to make desserts?

Shang Yuan shrugged silently. There was nothing he could do; the wife always acts on impulse. Even he couldn’t stop her once she decided to make desserts...

"Chengzi, why don’t we just skip that? Didn’t we agree to watch a movie together?" Yu Man tried to persuade Lu Cheng, "Such things are better left to Shang Yuan."

"That won’t conflict!" Lu Cheng laughed, "It’s just a dessert! It won’t take much time!"

"I haven’t cooked in so long! Man, you haven’t tried my cooking in ages, have you?"

"Oh! And Manman hasn’t tried it either! I have to let Manman try my exceptional cooking skills too!"

Lu Cheng patted her chest, "Man, leave it to me! Just wait to eat!"

Yu Man forced a smile, "Okay..."

Then, Yu Man glared at Shang Yuan, he must solve this enormous problem for her!

No one understood Lu Cheng’s cooking skills better than Shang Yuan. It was unprecedented and unparalleled! Earth-shattering and stirring!

When Lu Cheng whimsically decided to learn dessert-making years ago, she never followed conventions, and what she made...

To cheer up Lu Cheng, Shang Yuan forced himself to eat it all, and then every one of Lu Cheng’s Beast Husbands had to taste it with tears.

Lu Cheng rarely cooked, only those she was very close to had the "chance" to taste her dishes.

Yu Man was "fortunate" to try it twice.

Because Lu Cheng’s Beast Husband doted on her, covering it up in any way possible, she still didn’t know how disastrous her sweets were...

Shang Yuan touched his nose, nodded quietly behind Lu Cheng.

You certainly can’t ’mistreat’ a pregnant woman.

Besides, if Man were to eat the wife’s dessert, what if she accidentally got food poisoning?

Shang Yuan had actually been in such a situation before.

After eating a few of Lu Cheng’s cookies, he almost had diarrhea until dehydration.

Their male bodies were strong, they could handle a bit of it, but Yu Man absolutely couldn’t!

No worries, they had become accustomed to dealing with the wife’s sudden whims, they had experience.

On the other side, Yu Manman headed straight to the little garden after arriving at Lu Cheng’s house.

"Shang Yu brother!" Yu Manman saw the little black cat hiding under the rose bushes, cooling off.

The weather was still hot, and Shang Yu, who feared heat, didn’t like staying indoors, often hiding in the little garden.

"Manman?" The little black cat looked up in surprise, his tail swaying happily.

"Shang Yu brother!" Yu Manman picked up the black cat, sniffing him with her nose, "Today, Shang Yu brother smells like roses!"

No wonder he’s Xiangxiang!

She put the black cat down and lay on the grass freely.

Shang Yu’s ears moved, his tail softly swinging, sitting quietly next to Yu Manman.

He asked softly, "Do, do you like it, Manman?"

Yu Manman nodded, "I like it! I love it! The wheatgrass scent last time, the rose scent the time before... I love them all!"

She looked curiously into Shang Yu’s jewel-like eyes, "Does Shang Yu brother love fragrant scents?"

Shang Yu’s swinging tail paused for a moment.

"Well, not really..."

At least he didn’t used to, but now, he seemed to like it more and more.

Because Manman said she really liked... the scent on him.

Yu Manman blinked, looking at him in confusion, "Why is that?"
