Chapter 121 - Excessive Daily Expenses

Early in the morning, Lin Fan sat in the living room. On the table were a pen and paper, and beside them, a calculator. He stared at the scratchpad on the table, his face full of worry.

Long Yue had heard Lin Fan's sigh the moment she got up and couldn't help but ask with concern.

In the past, she was the one who would sit in that spot worrying early in the morning. How come it's him now...

Lin Fan put away his pen and paper and forced a smile onto his face.

Seeing this, Long Yue's delicate brows furrowed. With a look of dissatisfaction, she strode forward and snatched the paper from his hand.

“What is there to hide between us? Tell me, maybe This Empress can even offer some advice!”

With that, she looked down at the scratchpad in her hand, her expression puzzled.

The scratchpad was filled with various numbers added together. At a glance, it was a disorganized mess, and it was impossible to tell what it was about.

“Are you recording something?”

Lin Fan nodded lightly.

“It's nothing, really. Just the daily expenses since Meizhi and the others arrived.” Dıscover more novels at novelFirｅ.net

Hearing this, Long Yue looked again at the numbers on the scratchpad. She suddenly understood, and then her eyes hardened, her expression gradually turning to one of shock as her eyes flew wide.

“Ones… tens… hundreds… thousands… ten thousands… hundred thousands…?!”

“In just these few days, you've spent over two hundred thousand?!”

Long Yue held the scratchpad and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.

Lin Fan nodded helplessly.

When the four of them arrived in this world, their previous clothes were too ancient in style and weren't suitable for wearing outside, so he had to buy several new outfits for each of them.

Having come to this world, they each needed a phone to stay in contact, so that was another budget phone per person.

Also, Mokui wanted a top-spec computer. Since he had promised, he naturally couldn't go back on his word.

A top-spec desktop computer was another several tens of thousands gone in an instant.

Longye wanted gym equipment to work out, so he also bought various pieces of equipment for him online. One set cost several thousand, and a few sets combined was another several tens of thousands.

On top of all that, his daily appetite was also astonishingly large!

He had thought that Long Yue could already eat a lot, but as it turned out, his 'dragon stomach' was even more extreme than hers!

Ever since tasting the deliciousness of this world's meat, he could eat over a hundred jin of it in a single day!

Not to fill his stomach, but purely to satisfy his cravings and enjoy the delicious meat.

For just one day's food, he alone could eat through several thousand yuan!

And that's not even including essential daily necessities like towels, toothbrushes, quilts, and pillows.

It was a good thing he had managed to get some money from Zheng Shaohao before, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to support the four of them…

But at this rate, it was hard to say how long his remaining savings would last.

He had originally been saving this money to get a new house with Long Yue in the future. But this was his 'wife fund'...

Looking at the numbers on the scratchpad, Long Yue couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

Although she was now earning around a hundred thousand a month, she still tried her best to restrain herself from spending frivolously, only occasionally having a small splurge with Lin Fan.

But the moment Meizhi and the others arrived, over two hundred thousand had been spent like water.

If it were in the past, she might not have felt so pained, since it was Lin Fan's money. But things were different now.

Lin Fan's money was her money!

Seeing that two hundred thousand plus spent felt as painful as if the money had been snatched from her own bank account. But it couldn't be helped; these were all basically necessary expenses.

“This Empress still has the hundred-thousand-plus salary that was just deposited in my bank account. If you need it, This Empress can transfer it all to you.”

Heartache aside, Meizhi and the others were, after all, Lin Fan's four most trusted and capable generals. As his wife, she had to provide support where it was due.

Lin Fan smiled gratefully and pulled Long Yue into his arms.

“No need. We shouldn't have to spend so much money every day from now on.”

“Mmm… if you do need it, you have to tell This Empress.”

Long Yue said, leaning in Lin Fan's embrace, her expression demanding with great seriousness.

As the Empress, the thing she disliked most in her life was people hiding things from her, especially those closest to her!

Facing problems and thinking of solutions together is what a couple should do!

“Okay. If there's truly a need, I'll absolutely not hide it from you.”

Seeing the look on Long Yue's face, so serious she almost looked angry, Lin Fan smiled happily.

To have a wife who supports you unconditionally... what more could a husband ask for?

“Lord Demon Sovereign.”

Just then, Meizhi's voice came from outside the door.

“The door's unlocked, come in,” Lin Fan said.

“Pardon the intrusion, Lord Demon Sovereign, Madam.”

Meizhi entered the living room, first bowing to Lin Fan and Long Yue in salute, then took out a list and handed it to him.

“Lord Demon Sovereign, this is a list this subordinate has compiled of things that still need to be purchased. It also includes items that Mokui and Longye hope to acquire.”

Lin Fan took the list and glanced at it, his brow immediately furrowing. He pointed at a line on the list in disbelief.

“I can let the mop and bucket slide, but what the hell are 'tank' and 'airplane'?”

“Oh, those are things this subordinate learned about from the television. They seem to be the weapons of this world's mortals.”

“This subordinate was thinking that since Lord Demon Sovereign instructed us to conserve spiritual energy as much as possible, perhaps we could acquire some of this world's mortal weapons for use. And possessing an airplane could also satisfy your travel needs at any time, Lord Demon Sovereign.”

Meizhi explained with a perfectly straight face.

Lin Fan and Long Yue were speechless.

This guy actually seems serious…

“Meizhi, the things you're talking about aren't something you can just go out and buy… Rejected!”

Lin Fan picked up a pen and mercilessly crossed out the line with 'airplane' and 'tank' in a single stroke. He then continued to scan down the list, and his brow furrowed once again.

“Didn't This One already buy new dumbbells for Longye? Why does he want more?”

“Lord Demon Sovereign, Longye said that those two dumbbells are too light. He wants to buy two more to add weight.”

“And what's this line? Wants to top up 648 to buy a skin?!”

Lin Fan pointed to another line further down the list and demanded angrily.

“That was added at Mokui's request.”

Lin Fan showed an 'I-knew-it' expression. With a crisp snap, the pen in his hand broke in two.

The moment he saw that line, he basically knew who had requested it. Besides Mokui, it could be no one else!

Every single one of them just lazes around at home all day with nothing to do, either playing games or just working out. They're always running over to his place for no reason, and they still have the nerve to demand so much!

Lin Fan crushed the list in his hand into ash.

“Meizhi! Get all of them over here for This One!”

“Yes, Lord Demon Sovereign…”

Meizhi acknowledged the order and cautiously backed out of the room…
