"You're slandering me! Tell me, how did I try to take advantage of the situation? Where did I try to take advantage of the situation?"
Erina was also indignant at this moment. She said that if this guy said she was muddying the waters, he should provide evidence. Otherwise, she would definitely sue him for defamation. She didn't know how she had muddied the waters, so that this guy could say such things.
At this moment, Lin Qi raised an eyelid slightly and then directly presented the evidence that the other party was taking advantage of the situation.
"Are you sure you don't? You won't even call me 'dear husband' anymore. How am I acting like a wife?"
Lynch said, "You won't even call me 'darling,' and with that kind of behavior, you're hardly a wife, so I don't acknowledge you."
Erina was completely taken aback when she heard this. She never expected this guy to bring up this matter now. Strictly speaking, he was right; she didn't think she had ever called him that.
The reason I acted this way was because I felt a tiny bit ashamed. Putting everything else aside, I was just shameless for a bite to eat. I never imagined I would shout it openly as this guy suggested, at least not now.
Erina was internally screaming at this moment, damn it, she had made such a mistake and this guy had seized the opportunity. But she couldn't really shout these words, could she? Then, she chose the food over the food and the little bit of insignificant dignity that she had long since lost.
"Darling...darling."
Erina cried out at that moment, but her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Lin Qi was certain he could hear everything clearly with his own abilities, but how could he do that outside? So he immediately put his hand to his ear and pretended to be surprised.
"What were you just shouting? I can't hear you."
At that moment, Lynch pretended that I couldn't hear him, the underlying meaning being that I should speak louder so I could hear him.
Erina was furious at the guy's smug look. Did he really think she couldn't see through him? This guy was doing it on purpose, deliberately messing with her.
I originally wanted to be very stubborn and say that if I didn't hear it, fine, but I still obediently followed my heart and shouted it out loud.
"Honey!"
The way Erina shouted at that moment looked like she was using all her strength.
Lin Qi said that this guy was really doing it on purpose. Not only did he seem unwilling to fight, but he also deliberately shouted next to his ear, as if he was afraid that he would not hear him. Fortunately, he was strong enough that he was not hurt by the other party's voice.
After Erina finished shouting, she glared at Lin Qi with an unhappy look, making him wonder for a moment whether it was intentional or accidental.
Chapter 749 Erina: Am I standing at a crossroads of fate?
"Your voice is too loud, too rough, too harsh. Let's start over. I want to hear a sweet, gentle, and lovely voice of love, full of emotion, not your unwilling and insincere one. You still tell me you're my wife? What kind of wife calls herself that?"
At this moment, Lin Qi spoke up with a look of disgust, saying that this person still had the nerve to call himself his wife. What kind of wife was he? Based on this behavior, it was already a miracle that he hadn't been banished to the cold palace.
Erina was furious about being disliked by someone; she was so angry she felt like her teeth were itching to grind. But there seemed to be nothing she could do about it. What could she do? She could only endure it. After all, the power was in this jerk's hands. For a passive person like her, the only thing to do was to endure, to keep enduring.
"That's enough, don't go too far. Just say what you want to say directly, stop trying to mess with me all the time."
Erina knew perfectly well that this bastard was just messing with her. Even if she really went all out, he would definitely come up with some other excuse. So she wasn't some idiot. Fine, fine, whatever. She was just laying it all out. What did he want? She was just saying what he wanted. Let's have a good fight.
Lin Qi never expected this guy to explode like that. He originally thought this guy could hold out for a long time, but he overestimated him.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given the other person's temper, the fact that they haven't laid a hand on me yet is already quite restrained. But unfortunately, I am the type who likes to be aggressive.
"I didn't mean anything by it. I was just fulfilling what you just said by making you take on the responsibility you were supposed to bear. What bad intentions could I possibly have? You yourself said you're my wife, so just play that role well. Otherwise, why would I be so generous and willingly spend some of my money on you? After all, you know what you eat, it's practically like raising a money-devouring beast. Even if I'm rich, I can't afford your consumption, not to mention, there's no way to get points in our world, is there?"
Erina felt really angry when she heard this guy describe her as a money-devouring beast, but she couldn't refute it. After all, what she wanted really made her feel like she had become a monster. Of course, she just couldn't refute it, but she didn't show any embarrassment. Who told this guy to tempt her with such delicious food and turn her into this? Is it wrong to make this bastard take responsibility?
Erina was thinking to herself that she had simply wanted this guy to take responsibility, so she didn't feel guilty at all.
"Let's change the terms. I know you just want to set conditions for me. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can agree to anything. But don't even think about something as embarrassing as this. At least I can't do it right now."
Erina knew perfectly well that this guy's idea wasn't just to make her shout here, but also to make her act this ruthlessly outside. She felt she couldn't bring herself to do such a thing; after all, she had her pride, at least at this stage. If she were to shout at this guy like that outside, she'd rather find a block of tofu and smash her head against it.
It might work in the future, but it's definitely not feasible for me now, so I'll just make this guy change the terms.
Lin Qi was somewhat surprised yet also felt it was inevitable when he heard the other person say "wait." He was surprised that the other person was so straightforward in being honest with him, but it was inevitable because the other person really had no other choice but to lay it all out; at least, this arrogant guy probably wouldn't say it out loud.
At this moment, Lin Qi sat on the sofa with a puzzled look on his face, looking very conflicted.
"Your behavior is putting me in a difficult position."
As soon as Lin Qi said this, the other person gave him a disdainful look.
"What's so difficult about this? It's not your decision to make this. Do you think you're some kind of outsourced contractor with a boss or something that prevents you from making a decision?"
"Just say what you want to say. As long as it's not something that would embarrass me in public, I can accept it."
Erina directly criticized this guy's fake performance, saying that he thought she was an idiot or someone else. She said that he was obviously acting like a male companion or something, saying that he couldn't do it. It was just because of this guy's question about whether he could do it or not, but he played this act with her at this time. Does he have no shame?
So I didn't waste any more words and laid my cards on the table, throwing out the most tempting bait. After all, I knew very well that this guy would be overjoyed to hear that.
Seeing the other person's impatient expression, Lin Qi knew when to stop. Some things were better left unsaid; if he continued, things would get really complicated.
"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. Since you put it that way, then I won't be polite either."
Lin Qi was genuinely happy and satisfied at that moment, as he was quite pleased with the other party's submission.
"Our requirements are simple: from now on, cooperate with me when you are sober, instead of waiting until I'm confused before you know what it means to be obedient."
Erina was furious when she heard this. She was, after all, the God Tongue, and many people respected and treated her with utmost care.
It turns out this bastard really doesn't treat me like a human being, especially with this ridiculous request that makes me want to refuse. But it's as if he anticipated this and spoke up beforehand.
"You said those words yourself, it has nothing to do with me. Don't tell me you want to back out and can't take the game. Of course, I don't care about doing anything."
At this moment, Lin Qi said "it doesn't matter," but his behavior actually betrayed his true thoughts. His expression and eyes seemed to say, "If you refuse, let's just part ways. After all, I'm not going to embarrass you in public."
Erina understood and felt very angry, but because of the previous groundwork, she couldn't refuse. She had two choices: either agree or refuse.
I feel like I'm standing at a crossroads in my life. If I agree, this guy will never treat me like a human being again.
Chapter 750 It seems like too much medicine was added
"idiot!"
"You scumbag, you blond bastard, would it kill you to make me like this? You had to do this to me, didn't you?"
At this moment, Erina asked a question from the depths of her soul, as if she felt like she had picked the wrong person to treat her like this. After all, this bastard was treating her like a tool, a one-off deal.
After hearing what the other person said, and seeing their expression as if they were about to explode because of this matter, Lin Qi immediately gave them an answer.
"Regarding this matter, all I can say is that it's not that I'm forcing you to do this, nor is it that I'm not letting you, but please, those are only a few dozen points, right? And it's such a small amount of work in the park, it's really hard, okay? You should at least give me some compensation for my hard work so I have the motivation to continue, right?"
At this moment, Lin Qi spoke the truth: what the other party wanted was simply too expensive. This guy wanted to eat it every month without paying anything in return. How could he possibly feel resentful? Therefore, regarding this matter, it was the original 28 issues, and there would be no compromise.
"Erina, besides, aren't the things I asked you to do normal things that married couples do? It's just that you're too embarrassed to do them. My requests aren't unreasonable at all, okay?"
At this moment, Lin Qi was also trying to secure his own benefits, appearing ready to argue to the bitter end, since what he had done and acted in were normal marital benefits. It was just that this guy was being stubborn and unwilling, insisting that he find another way.
When Erina heard this statement, which was said to be something normal for married couples to do, she fell silent. After all, she wasn't an idiot and understood that it was true, but she felt a little embarrassed to do it in a sober state, and that was the most important thing.
"Once a month, don't even think about me doing those things when I'm sober the rest of the time."
Erina chose to back down at this moment, after all, she had no choice. If things continued, it would never end, and this guy was determined to take what was rightfully his, so she couldn't stop him. If you want benefits, don't blame me for fighting for mine.
When you're confused, you can't control yourself, since you don't even know what you're doing when you're confused. But when you're clear-headed, if this guy wants to do something, then don't even think about it. I will resolutely not compromise. That's my bottom line.
Of course, the exception would be when this guy gave me that thing.
Lin Qi didn't pay attention to what the other party meant by once a month, which was the time when they delivered the gift.
After all, many things become beyond the other person's control; everything is up to you, okay? The other person seems to think this is perfectly reasonable, but how can it happen once, twice, or even three times? You must transform this arrogant attitude into your own. Otherwise, having to do everything yourself every time will make you feel like you're doing nothing. It's definitely better for the other person to take the initiative.
Lin Qi said that the first step in getting the other party to abandon their arrogance and depravity has been successfully completed.
The two thus reached a friendly agreement.
"Alright, alright, I'm going to prepare the big meal."
"Go quickly."
At this point, Erina also urged him on without any hesitation, telling him to hurry up, since she was still waiting for the big meal.
As for the agreements the two of them made, those things can't be discussed now; they'll have to wait until later. Right now, the most important thing is that it's evening. After chatting with this guy for so long, even after eating a piece of cake, I'm still feeling hungry.
Erina said that she has a second stomach when it comes to delicious food, and that her stomach can even expand automatically.
At this point, Lin Qi could only silently take on the work of a chef.
When the dishes were served, two people were already waiting to eat. They stared at the covered table with longing eyes.
When the lid was opened, the two of them were prepared. Without hesitation, they closed their eyes and looked at the seafood feast in front of them. They didn't care about their image and started eating right away.
“So spicy~”
Erina fried a piece of boiled fish directly. She took a bite, and the delicious taste and spiciness exploded in her mouth. Her face turned red instantly from the spiciness, but she didn't choose to stop. She just kept eating the fish with her head on her stomach.
Hisako picked up a piece of crispy fish and took a bite, making a crunching sound. She practically crushed the bones.
Seeing the two of them wolfing down their food, Lin Qi felt a strong urge to record a video of it.
After all, these two are extremely popular figures here. If they were recorded and posted online in a gay-like manner these past two days, countless people would probably lose their positive impression.
Although Lin Qi thought this way in his heart, he didn't actually take any action. There was no need, really no need. It was better for his own people to tease the other party. He could just stay behind and secretly play it for the other party. That was already the worst he could do.
Erina and Hisako were unaware that a bad person was plotting something that left them helpless.
Only after the two had eaten and drunk their fill and showed satisfied expressions did Lin Qi begin to casually sweep away the remaining food.
After all, good food should never be wasted.
Especially those things you make yourself, you shouldn't waste.
Erina and Hisako ignored the man who was eating and drinking heartily without regard for his image, and instead closed their eyes to savor the delicious food, still immersed in the culinary atmosphere.
And those two feel really great!
The two were still living in the illusion they had created, as queens of the ocean kingdom, enjoying the service of countless mermaids. They were quite happy.
After Lin Qi finished packing, he placed a specially made drink in front of the two of them to help them wake up, and then silently waited for them to wake up.
It took a full 20 minutes for the two to begin to recover.
Lin Qi's inner thought about this result was that he seemed to have overdone it, since in his plan, the two of them shouldn't have needed to wait that long.
Chapter 751 Will you do it yourself or should I do it?
After the two woke up, Lin Qi pointed to the drinks in front of him.
Upon seeing the drink, both of them immediately shook their heads in unison, expressing their disapproval.
"Lin Qijun, I can't drink anymore, my stomach is so full."
Hisako spoke first, indicating that she was really full and couldn't drink any more.
Erina shook her head wildly in the same way, like a rattle-drum.
"No, no, I can't drink that."
