Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 171: Never Dreamed of Getting Such Benefits

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Never Dreamed of Getting Such Benefits

"You actually know to be afraid of me being angry!" Xu Qinghuan pushed him away slightly, pinched his cheeks, and said, "Then tell me, do you also think in your heart that I’m an educated youth who will eventually return to the city?"

Jiang Xingye didn’t want to lie to her. Although his heart ached, he still replied, "When you return to the city, I’ll see you off."

"What about you?" Xu Qinghuan felt speechless. This man, clearly so proud at heart, but always humbles himself like dust in front of her, "Aren’t you going to follow me to the city?"

Of course, Jiang Xingye wanted to. He replied with extreme uncertainty, "Can I go?"

The city now is different from the future. City folks have commercial grain household registration, which gives them twenty-seven pounds of food each month. Though it wasn’t enough to satisfy hunger, it was enough to survive.

Rural people going to the city couldn’t switch to commercial grain household registration, only starving to death, finding a job was harder than climbing to the heavens.

"If I say there’s a way, would you be willing to try it?"

In the book, although the powerful figure later became successful and a business tycoon, he also mentioned that during his early years of struggle, he suffered many hidden losses due to his shallow knowledge.

"Willing!" Jiang Xingye’s eyes were firm, so much so that even if Xu Qinghuan asked him to die, he would happily comply.

Xu Qinghuan said, "If I say that the college entrance exam will be resumed in the future, and you can go to the city through it, would you be willing to try it?"

If it were anyone else, Xu Qinghuan would not have divulged information about the college entrance exam. It’s a matter that could cost one’s life.

"Willing!" How could Jiang Xingye possibly miss any opportunity to be with her without parting, he replied resolutely, "I’m willing."

Moreover, today he also saw that his fiancée was so outstanding, translating foreign text he couldn’t recognize a single word of, in just over half an hour.

He is not one to wallow in self-pity; there’s no need to speak of past events, from now on, he will seize every opportunity to improve himself, granting him the qualifications to stand by her side and protect her better in the future.

"Very well, starting today, I’ll monitor your studies; you’re not allowed to slack off. If you don’t listen and don’t work hard, I’ll..." She thought for a moment, eyes rolling, then pinched Jiang Xingye’s handsome face, "I’ll smack your palms."

"Alright!" Jiang Xingye never dreamed he’d receive such benefits, let alone being made to study. He’d be willing even to go into a frying pan.

The attendant at the guest house was a woman in her thirties, with short hair, wearing a white Terylene shirt, openly scrutinizing the two people. After they presented their introduction letters, she carefully checked them.

"Comrade Jiang Xingye, you stay in room 213; Comrade Xu Qinghuan, you stay in room 214. Take your keys, don’t mix up the rooms, and stay in your respective rooms. No visiting each other’s rooms; the investigation team will conduct spot checks at irregular intervals. If caught, you’ll be made a laughingstock!" the attendant sternly warned.

Jiang Xingye was about to take both keys, but the person gave him only one, handing the remaining one to Xu Qinghuan, "Keep your own! Don’t stay in the wrong room."

She pointed at the registration book, Xu Qinghuan’s eyes deepened.

As they went upstairs, the person chased after them to remind, "Also, there’s a VIP on the third floor today, you’re not allowed to go there."

Xu Qinghuan’s eyebrows jumped, she answered, "Got it!"

At the door of room 213, Jiang Xingye was about to enter when Xu Qinghuan stopped him and swapped keys with him, "You stay in 214, I’ll stay in 213."

Although Jiang Xingye remembered the attendant’s words, he would never disobey his fiancée and obediently swapped rooms with her.

Downstairs, the attendant nodded at a man at the door and pointed upstairs. The man relaxed his brows and turned to leave.

Late at night, Xu Qinghuan entered the space, quickly washed up, then came out, hearing a knock on the door. She asked, "Who is it?"

"It’s me!"

Xu Qinghuan opened the door, let him in, and was about to close it when Jiang Xingye stopped her, "Can’t close it, it... would be bad for your reputation."

He checked the door lock, which was intact.

Having confirmed no one was in the hallway, Xu Qinghuan leaned in and left a kiss on his lips’ corner. Jiang Xingye’s brow and eyes softened, watching Xu Qinghuan’s tender lips, Adam’s apple moving, swallowing hard.

His dark eyes deepened, seeing Xu Qinghuan’s teasing eyes, he shyly turned away, "Are you hungry? There’s still some buns left."

Xu Qinghuan shook her head, "Not eating, if you’re hungry, eat by yourself."

The attendant came upstairs, saw both were in room 213, showing disdain as she knocked, "Go to your own room. I said don’t go visiting rooms. If you want to stay together, bring your marriage certificate!"

Jiang Xingye was a little embarrassed but also somewhat angry at the rude words, glaring fiercely at the person, who faltered but stood her ground.

He was about to go to the next room when Xu Qinghuan pulled him, stepping toward room 214, waving at Jiang Xingye, "I’m going to sleep!"

Jiang Xingye’s eyes softened, "Hmm!"

As he saw her leave, he only closed the door when she shut hers, nearly slamming the door in the attendant’s face.

The room retained the sweet scent from Xu Qinghuan; he didn’t sleep but sat on the bed for a while. Sure enough, Xu Qinghuan came to knock again, and they swapped rooms again.

"Huanhuan, are you afraid?" Jiang Xingye held her, asking uneasily.

They weren’t husband and wife yet, unable to stay in the same room.

But if she wasn’t afraid, why did she change rooms with him? However, if she were afraid, simply switching rooms would be futile.

"Not afraid, don’t overthink. I’m just annoyed by that person repeatedly telling me I must stay in 214. I insist on staying in 213, let’s see what they can do!" Xu Qinghuan mischievously said.

Jiang Xingye was amused by his fiancée’s cute antics, supporting her waist before leaving, advising, "Lock the door well, I’ll be next door; call me if needed."

"Hmm!" She tiptoed, and as she kissed him, Jiang Xingye bent down first and captured her lips.

Afraid of being seen, it was a brief kiss.

Yet that was enough for Jiang Xingye to savor for a long time.

In the middle of the night, Xu Qinghuan abruptly opened her eyes, seeing the window pried open with a slit, a stick of incense was inserted, its smoke gently wafting inside. A sound came from next door, that person threw the incense, closed the window, and quickly left.

Jiang Xingye stood by the window, seeing the person running off; he was too late to chase, quickly opened the door, and came to Xu Qinghuan’s room.

Almost instantly, Xu Qinghuan pulled him inside as he was about to attack; a familiar sweet scent filled his nose. He turned to embrace Xu Qinghuan, nervously asking, "Are you okay?"

In the dark, Xu Qinghuan shook her head, realizing he might not see, whispered, "I’m fine."

Jiang Xingye felt dizzy, a fiery sensation rose from his lower abdomen, desires in his heart magnified thousands of times; his forehead sweated profusely. Realizing something was wrong, he took Xu Qinghuan’s hand to leave.

Xu Qinghuan pressed him down, putting a Detoxification Pill into his mouth.

The elixir slipped into his stomach, instantly clearing his mind.

Just then, knocking came from outside the door, no sound inside; in the dark, the two saw someone easily pry open the lock from outside.

Then, a slender figure was pushed inside, and a man lowered his voice, "This task mustn’t fail. You know what to do? Once done, there’s good for you!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Un... Understood!"

The voice sounded slightly familiar.
