It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 164 [025] Proposal VS Concubine
There are no supermarkets in the outer city, only small grocery stores. Given the economic level and simple folk customs of the outer city, there is a risk of attracting low-dollar purchases by setting up shelves for people to take goods at will.

Qin Jiandan had never been to a supermarket before, but he was familiar with the supermarkets that often appeared in old movies.

The supermarkets in Ringstone City were essentially the same as those on Earth, except that the staff wore thicker clothes, made of bulletproof fibers and fireproof materials to resist all kinds of unexpected attacks. Cashiers were also shackled behind the counter to prevent them from leaving their posts.

The supermarket staff forced themselves to smile and bowed their heads to greet every customer who passed by. Qin Jiandan heard that the camera on the ceiling would calculate the angle at which the staff bowed their heads, and if the angle did not meet the standard, their wages would be deducted.

After entering the supermarket, Mu Yue rode away and went straight to the women's shelf to pick out sanitary products. She also put on a "no entry" attitude, obviously not welcoming Qin Jiandan and Walei to follow her.

Qin Jiandan and Valei had no choice but to stand a little further away and wait for Mu Yue to pick something. Qin Jiandan whispered:

"I heard from Tom Chen that Mu Yue was very violent when she came to catch the adultery, and shot through two door locks in succession. Could it be related to her period?"

Vale shrugged. "The menstrual period of the Furui people is different from that of humans, so I don't have any sanitary products to lend to Mu Yue. Mu Yue has to buy them herself."

After a pause, the white-haired, black-skinned dog-eared girl's expression turned into a gloating one:
"Xiao Muyue has her period. Even if you propose successfully, you won't be able to sleep tonight. Are you disappointed?"

Qin Jiandan expressed disdain for Valei's low quality:
"I said I want to capture Mu Yue's heart! As long as Mu Yue accepts my proposal and lets me kiss her, I'll be lucky!"

Valei was a little disappointed that she failed to dampen Qin Jiandan's enthusiasm. She suddenly changed the subject:
"Jiandan, is this your first time in the inner city supermarket? How do you feel about the supermarket?"

Although he saw the staff wearing shackles and other strange phenomena, Qin Jiandan, who was ready to propose, still subconsciously answered:

“It’s not bad in the supermarket.”

Valei put his hands on the dog's ears, as if he didn't hear the answer clearly, and looked at Qin Jiandan, and asked with a smile again:

"What do you think of the supermarket?"

Qin Jiandan then realized that Walei was making fun of him. If money was to be deducted for using the pun, then this lecher should really have his salary deducted for it.

So Qin Jiandan replied indifferently: "I always think that supermarkets should be more interesting."

Mu Yue didn’t know that Qin Jiandan and Wa Lei were “having a heart-to-heart” over there. She bought more sanitary products than she needed, and only realized she didn’t push the shopping cart after her hands were full.

Qin Jiandan pushed the shopping cart over with a flattering look on his face. Mu Yue put the hygiene products in the shopping cart and still didn't speak to Qin Jiandan.

The group began to move towards the beverage shelf. Mu Yue was thinking about something and walked slower and slower. Qin Jiandan and Wa Lei were happy to hang out with their loved ones.

Passing by the frozen food area, Qin Jiandan curiously wanted to find the 100% chicken cell animal puree used by Lao Wang Fried Chicken, but the freezer in front only contained formed fresh cold meat, and there was no trace of the animal puree at first.

A TV hanging above the freezer plays promotional ads over and over again:
"Dididala~"Taimei" brand black-footed broiler chicken, scientifically fed, delicious meat, unique, a noble choice from vertical farms!"

There is a cartoon black-footed broiler chicken playing basketball on the screen. It dribbles past NBA stars modeled after "Jordan" and "Kobe", and performs an extreme dunk amid cheers from the audience!

You know what, this chicken is pretty cute. Since the company banned the creation of new animation works, many children fell in love with the black-footed broiler chicken in the advertisement and gave it a nickname "Little Black Feet". Zhu Shengzhi once produced low-quality figurines of Little Black Feet and sold them in the inner city for a lot of money.

If Qin Jiandan had any fondness for Blackfoot chicken, it could only be said that he had eaten Neicheng fried chicken made with Blackfoot broiler chickens.

How to say it, the texture of the meat is indeed more layered than animal paste, but the fried chicken chefs in the inner city lack Lao Wang's quality of striving for perfection, and are not as good as Lao Wang in controlling the heat and salt distribution ratio.

"Let's go!" Vale called to Qin Jiandan who had paused:
"Are you a three-year-old kid? What's so good about the advertising animation?"

Qin Jiandan, who was reminded, followed with the shopping cart.

You don't understand my love for fried chicken... materials, Vale. When I unify Ringstone City and let Lao Wang use black-foot broiler chicken to fry chicken for everyone every day, you will understand why I stopped here today!

There are indeed a lot of strange things in the inner city supermarkets. When Qin Jiandan followed the team to the prepared food shelf, he saw "peeled and vacuum-sealed bananas" on the road.

The three approached a sushi display window. The picker behind the window had no shackles on his feet because he had to move back and forth. However, the window itself was sealed to him, and he had to call the internal line to ask for permission to go to the toilet.

Mu Yue seemed to see her own embarrassment from the picker's predicament, and she spoke slowly:
"Sword Pill..."

The picker immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, we don't sell fried eggs here. Is tamagoyaki sushi okay?"

Qin Jiandan never expected that his name would be used as a pun. He glared at the picker, and the picker dared not say anything.

After leaving the sushi window, Qin Jiandan slowly pushed the shopping cart and walked side by side with Mu Yue. Walei tactfully fell behind and moved a little further away. He looked left and right, determined not to miss any tasting event.

Qin Jiandan's plan was to wait for Mu Yue to buy the soda, then move the soda to the trunk of the police car, and then propose to her in the parking lot while Mu Yue's mood improved.

The parking lot is not the best place, but it is better than a supermarket with many people coming and going. Mu Yue, who had no idea of ​​Qin Jiandan's plan, was sighing inwardly because of Xiao Xia's matter. She finally mustered up a little courage:
"Jiandan, do you like the inner city or the outer city?"

Qin Jiandan felt that this was a trap question. If Linlin (or the drone) was nearby, answering "I like the inner city" would trigger the "sister nuclear bomb"; if he answered "I like the outer city", he would have to face Mu Yue's long-awaited follow-up questions.

In just a moment, Qin Jiandan found the safest answer that was closest to what he had in mind:

"It's you I like, it has nothing to do with the inner city or the outer city!"

Qin Jiandan's frequent declarations of love to Mu Yue made her feel a little embarrassed. Mu Yue originally wanted to ask, "You like the outer city, so you like the rules of the outer city," but a few words led to the topic of the custom of taking concubines in the outer city.

As a result, Qin Jiandan avoided the trap, so Mu Yue had to ask another question:

"Who would you most likely marry if you had never met me?"

This question is even more of a trap. Qin Jiandan asked himself, if he had never met the sheriff, maybe with the strong matchmaking of his master, he would have married Linlin in the future.

After all, Qin Jiandan didn't want to make his sister sad. Under the premise that he didn't have a clear target of love, living with Linlin for the rest of his life was also an option.

But now the situation has changed, and this idea must not be mentioned to Mu Yue.

Qin Jiandan's eyes revealed a hint of loneliness. He did imagine a world where he and Mu Yue had never met:

"I will probably end up living alone like my master, but my martial arts skills will improve."

Qin Jiandan said that she wanted to let Mu Yue be a "widow", which left Mu Yue speechless. She didn't want to take the initiative to mention the matters of "Xiao Xia" and "taking a concubine", and wanted Qin Jiandan to mention it so that she could get angry, but Qin Jiandan just didn't mention it.

Mu Yue gritted her teeth. She had to say something that was not in line with her status as a sheriff:
"You... you can go whoring even if you don't have a wife, right? Isn't the related industry over at the Falling Cherry Group very prosperous? Won't they give the Young Master of the Night Dragon Society half the price?"

"Eh? Mu Yue, who do you think I am?" Qin Jiandan was very excited:
"If I wanted to do that, I would have gone there a long time ago. Why would I wait until now? I'm not a lowly animal. I won't sleep with someone I don't have feelings for!"

This confession was actually a little exaggerated. The reason why Qin Jiandan was so resolute was because Linlin had just warned her brother that if he dared to call a prostitute, she would take pictures with a drone and then hack into the TV station to broadcast it live to the whole city.

Qin Jiandan didn't want Mu Yue and Valei to eat in the police cafeteria, but the cafeteria TV suddenly started playing "Young Master of the Night Dragon Society: Night Dragon Special".

Mu Yue set up a large number of language traps, but Qin Jiandan managed to jump over them all without any harm. Mu Yue suspected that Walei had revealed the secret to Qin Jiandan, so she turned around and glared at Walei who was lagging behind.

Vale spread out her hands with an innocent look on her face, and Mu Yue silently activated the "super vision mode" of her right eye.

By analyzing local heat changes on the surface of a person's face, the super-visual mode can act as a lie detector, but it requires being very close to the other person, which has significant limitations on its use.

Qin Jiandan did not reveal any flaws in the polygraph analysis, and he did not lie in the first place. Although he avoided Mu Yue's trap, each of his answers was in line with his own wishes.

The super vision mode began to consume the sugar in Mu Yue's body. She became even more nervous because she was sure that Qin Jiandan was not lying, so she had to take the initiative to ask!
"Jiandan, what do you think of Xiaoxia?"

"Xiao Xia," Qin Jiandan smiled bitterly, "this guy has a hole in his brain. If it weren't for Feng Jian's assistance, he wouldn't be able to be the leader of the Falling Cherry Blossom Team."

Mu Yue was clearly not asking whether Xiao Xia was competent in the guild, she just wanted to know whether Qin Jiandan thought Xiao Xia was attractive.

"She seems to like you."

The hunger caused by the loss of sugar forced Mu Yue to swing a straight ball.

Qin Jiandan showed human calmness:
"She just likes my position as the young master and wants to use it to seek benefits for the Falling Cherry Group. She doesn't really like me. She will kick me out once I lose power. On the contrary, I have to guard against the rebellion of the Falling Cherry Group."

There seemed to be a hint of jealousy and resentment in Mu Yue's tone:
"But as long as you remain strong, won't the Falling Cherry Blossoms and Xiao Xia always bow down to you? She's willing to do anything to win your favor, but I won't. Some of your absurd dreams can only come true with Xiao Xia."

Qin Jiandan is going to propose today. The person he is proposing to repeatedly mentions other women, so he must make his attitude clear to dispel Mu Yue's doubts:

"A dream that cannot be realized with you is meaningless to me! You are my only wife in this life!"

Unfortunately, such a promise still could not reassure Mu Yue. The phenomenon of one wife and multiple concubines was very serious in the outer city, and “one wife” did not mean anything.

Mu Yue stopped and reached out to the top of the shelf to pick up something to cover up the uneasiness in her heart:

"Xiao Xia is quite pretty. Do you want to try marrying her as a concubine?"
