TFWYH – Chapter 219 Beauty’s Advice

“Don’t move!” Ling Yu’s voice cut in before Tang Wan could get up. “Let me catch my breath first.”

Tang Wan immediately froze. “Was it really that painful?”

Ling Yu gave a quiet grunt. “Next time, how about I press down on you instead?”

Tang Wan blinked. “Sure! No matter how heavy you are, I can take it.”

Ling Yu raised an eyebrow. “Don’t beg me to go easy then.”

“I won’t! I told you, I can handle it no matter how heavy you are!” Tang Wan said, then frowned slightly—something about this conversation felt off.

“My wife is quite impressive,” Ling Yu said, eyes glinting with amusement as he held her close. Then, with a faint, knowing look, he glanced toward the door.

Tang Wan: …

Yep. Definitely weird.

—

Neither of them had bothered to lower their voices, so everything was perfectly audible to the person outside.

Yu Ziqing stood frozen like a statue.

What—what kind of scandalous words were those?!

Such shameless, brazen flirting in broad daylight!

And worst of all—Tang Wan was on top, while Ling Yu was underneath!

Yu Ziqing felt his worldview collapse, his very soul shattering into tiny pieces.

After that, he completely wilted, his spirit drained.

Even the food—normally the highlight of his day—tasted like wax in his mouth.

After dinner, Yu Ziqing left the house in a daze, his figure strangely lonely as he walked away.

Ling Chen watched his retreating back, puzzled by how lifeless he looked. Having already eaten three bowls of rice, he picked up two more drumsticks to munch on.

Later that evening, Ling Yu called Ling Yue aside. “Now that you’ve bought the manor, how do you plan to renovate it?”

Ling Yue was startled—she hadn’t expected her older brother to take an interest in the estate.

Ling Yu raised an eyebrow. “Can’t tell me?”

“No, it’s not that!” Ling Yue quickly waved her hands, a little embarrassed. “I just didn’t think you’d care about business matters. Anyway, that manor isn’t too big. I was planning to…”

She explained the layout and her renovation plans in detail.

Ling Yu nodded, then said meaningfully, “Your ideas are good, but I’d suggest reinforcing the buildings.”

Ling Yue frowned. “Why?”

Ling Yu gave her a cool glance. “According to historical records, Xiangxi Town once experienced an earth tremor—about eighty years ago. Still, since there will be many valuables on the property, better to prepare for the unexpected, don’t you think?”

Ling Yue was speechless.

An earth tremor? That was eighty years ago! Wasn’t he being overly cautious?

Still, since her brother said so, she didn’t argue. Reinforcement wouldn’t cost much anyway. “Got it,” she said with a nod.

Ling Yu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

With the new manor, Ling Yue put aside her other work to focus on renovations—remembering Ling Yu’s warning, she made sure every structure was properly reinforced.

The small matters at the roasting workshop fell back onto Tang Wan’s shoulders.

She returned to her routine: helping at the roasting house by day and applying facial masks at night.

Jiang Shi didn’t stay idle either.

Besides the beef jerky business, Yu Ziqing had also placed a large order for chili bean paste, so Jiang Shi pulled Suxi in to help.

Suxi: Never thought I’d see the day I’d fall this low…

Even with that, they were short on hands.

Since Tang Wan had to manage the roasting house, she specially asked Aunt Yang to help at home.

At the roasting workshop, Ling Yue had already marinated the beef in advance, leaving the roasting to Li Wu.

During his recovery, Li Wu had often helped stoke the fire and learned to control the heat perfectly.

Once he fully healed, the roasting became his main responsibility.

Even without Ling Yue around, he could handle it alone.

Tang Wan only needed to take care of the packaging.

Before long, Li Dashan and Ling Sheng came jogging back. Seeing Tang Wan working alone, they put aside what they were doing and came over to help pack.

Zhang San and Li Si arrived a bit later. Usually they were playful and loud, but the moment they saw Tang Wan there, they became unusually well-behaved.

They couldn’t help it—compared to Ling Yue, they were far more afraid of Tang Wan.

They would never forget that time they’d followed Ling Sheng to pick a fight with her—only to have their arms dislocated and their faces rubbed against the ground.

The memory of that “lesson” was burned into their bones, and neither of them dared risk “revisiting” that experience ever again.
