Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2084 - 2073: Ning Family Rules

"It's time to delegate power."Xu Ruolan remembered Ning Fan's words. Their future days were definitely not going to be spent in the ups and downs of business.

Pouring all your energy into business is a mistake.

Ning Fan ignored Xu Xiaoqing and instead turned to ask, "Vivian, do you have any objections?"

Vivian lifted her head from the soup bowl and said blankly,

"What objections?"

"Then there's no objection. It's decided then."

Just after finishing the meal, Su Meiniang stood up and said, "Husband, you and sister go for a walk. I'll clean up."

"I'll help you clean up together."

"No need. I can handle it myself."

Capable in the living room, skillful in the kitchen, beautiful and wise...

Seeing the two women insistently refusing to let each other clean, Ning Fan sighed and said, "You all don't argue. Let Xiaoqing wash these dishes."

Xu Xiaoqing immediately asked, "Why?"

"Didn't you just say you're still a child? A child should learn to help adults with chores. Vivian, you stay and help."

"It's not fair, I protest."

"Protest denied."

Ning Fan beckoned, "Wife, Meiniang, let's go watch TV."

"Husband, you and sister rest, I'll..."

Ning Fan quickly interrupted, "No need. You've already prepared such a wonderful breakfast for us."

"But it's what I should do."

"Meiniang, you're wrong. There's nothing that you should do."

Looking at Xu Xiaoqing, who was pouting with displeasure, Xu Ruolan said, "Since everyone's here, I'll announce the first household rule for the Ning Family."

"In this big family, no one can enjoy benefits without work; everyone must cooperate and share responsibilities."

Xu Ruolan said to Xu Xiaoqing, "Meiniang has been helping us prepare meals without any complaints, should she also do the dishwashing?"

"But..."

Xu Ruolan continued, "Xiaoqing, you know that our family doesn't have the habit of hiring maids, and right now it's not suitable to hire one either."

This household, after all, has ghosts, a fox spirit, and a dragon. If that got out, it would be a disaster.

Actually, Xu Ruolan didn't know that strictly speaking, only she and Father were genuine humans.

"Alright then."

Xu Xiaoqing lowered her head in frustration; as things stood, she had no argument.

"Vivian, do you have any thoughts?" Xu Ruolan smiled, "As a member of the family, just do what you can."

"What I can do?"

Vivian muttered to herself, then her eyes lit up, "I can kill—"

Ning Fan quickly said, "Vivian is very strong, she can help move heavy things from now on."

"Her?"

"Wife, haven't you forgotten? She's a dragon, moving things is a piece of cake."

Only then did Xu Ruolan realize that the girl in front of her was not an ordinary person.

"Since everyone agrees, let's settle it this way."

Xu Xiaoqing shouted, "I don't agree, it's unfair."

"How is it unfair?"

"What about you? You don't do anything."

Seeing Xu Xiaoqing looking over angrily, the couple smiled at each other, and Xu Ruolan said with a smile, "I am responsible for earning money to support the family."

Ning Fan sighed, "Then I will have to be responsible for looking pretty."

Xu Xiaoqing, who had been sulking, was instantly amused by Ning Fan's shamelessness.

Xu Xiaoqing laughed sheepishly, "Then I will be responsible for being cute, is that okay?"

"Not okay. We already have someone for that role." Ning Fan waved to the outside, "Huahua, come in."

A black dog wagged its tail, happily running in.

This black dog was the stray dog Ning Fan bought at the market for trying out concoctions.

Whether it was due to good food or the wash of spiritual energy, its previously colorful and patchy fur had turned to sleek, shiny black fur.

Ning Fan, who was just about to reach out and pet Huahua, suddenly froze.

He knew that Xu Xiaoqing, this spendthrift child, kept secretly feeding Huahua Qi Replenishing Pills.

If one day, Huahua decided to repay the "kindness" like Su Meiniang...

The thought of that scene made Ning Fan shudder.

Tales of fox spirits and scholars often appeared in dramas, so Ning Fan could accept that.

But a dog spirit, he hadn't seen that yet.

"No! Huahua is actually a male dog."

Ning Fan quickly shook his head, even a male dog was not alright, that was even scarier.

"Wife, let's go."

Thinking of these things, Ning Fan just wanted to stay far away from this male dog. "If not for Xiaoqing pleading for you, you might already be in a hotpot."

Ning Fan secretly lamented, without the Golden Core, he could no longer practice alchemy, which meant no more eating meat washed in spiritual power.

"Meiniang, let's go. Xiaoqing, you all work hard."

Xu Ruolan held Su Meiniang's hand as they smilingly walked to the living room.

"Let's get to work."

Xu Xiaoqing sighed and looked sympathetically at Vivian.

"Husband, I'll go brew some tea."

"Husband, let me give you a massage."

"Husband, what do you want? I'll get it for you."

...

Even though they said rest, Su Meiniang couldn't sit idle for even a second, constantly fussing over Ning Fan, practically treating him like royalty.

Seeing this, Xu Rulan felt a twinge of jealousy, "Meiniang, stop fussing. Let's sit and chat."

"Sister, whatever you want to say, I can hear you from here,"

Seeing Su Meiniang's earnest expression, Xu Ruolan really couldn't make a fuss,

Su Meiniang was just too obedient and lovable.

Even though she came to compete for her man as a fox spirit, she might actually be a real fox spirit.

Xu Ruolan gently said, "Meiniang, could you please not say 'Husband' from now on?"

"Why?"

Su Meiniang suddenly realized, "I get it now. People now call it 'Husband' or 'darling.'

"Darling!"

Listening to that soft voice, Ning Fan luckily held back, or he might have responded.

"Darling is not okay either."

Su Meiniang, puzzled, asked, "Is there another term?"

"It's not about the term. It's that you can't say it."

"Does sister still not agree?"

Su Meiniang said with a bitter expression, "I know my status is low, and I just wish to stay by the master's side as a maid. Please don't drive me away."

"That's not what I mean, nobody wants you to be a maid."

Xu Ruolan was almost frantic; she didn't expect Su Meiniang to be so stubborn.

Noticing Xu Ruolan's pleading look, Ning Fan got up and said, "You two take your time talking. I'll check in the kitchen."

On such a sensitive topic, given that he was involved, he dared not stay long.

When Ning Fan returned, he was first met with Xu Ruolan's resentful gaze, followed by Su Meiniang's enthusiastic greeting, "Darling, you're back, come sit."

Ning Fan looked at Xu Rulan in surprise, who helplessly shook her head.

Seeing no other way, Ning Fan held his breath, not daring to make a sound, his mouth twitching endlessly.

He had no other choice; the soft skin at his waist was enduring a test by finger.
