Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1199 The Eldest Son of the Yuan Family

He had just considered all his skills and found that only two of them might be useful in this situation.

The first item, [Technique]

The effect is that any button, tangled thread, or knot can be opened with a touch. In a critical moment, it can solve an emergency. This is a handcuff, and there should be a lock inside the handcuff.

He also tried it and found that there was no reaction at all. People said that a button is a button, and it doesn't go overboard at all.

After all, if this thing can be opened, then he won't need to enter a password or fingerprint when he comes home every day. He should be able to just put his hand on the doorknob and the lock will open automatically.

It's obvious that the handcuffs' lock is not within the scope of the [Technique] skill, so only the second option remains: the Longquan Sword that was purchased earlier.

This thing is forged using ancient methods and can cut iron like mud, but it can only cut iron. It can't even cut a watermelon, which is ridiculous!

He had thought this thing was just for show for so long, but he never expected it would actually come in handy one day.

After all, normally this sword just sits in a glass display case collecting dust, and it doesn't even qualify as a decoration.

Of course, he wasn't sure if the handcuffs were made of iron. If they were, that would be perfect; if not, he would have to call the fire department.

As for losing face? I can't care about that anymore, my life is more important.

We can't just wait for Liu Ruyan to file a complaint online and have the merchant send us another key.

Upstairs, Liu Ruyan changed out of her uniform into ordinary pajamas, her face still flushed, while Zhao Yun's lips twitched beside her.

"You two are really something, just asking out of curiosity, no offense intended, do you two play with small leather whips or dripping wax or something?" Ms. Zhao asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "Get lost, we're not that perverted!"

"You two aren't weird, are you? Then what's with these handcuffs?" Zhao Yun asked incredulously.

Liu Ruyan: "This...this was an accident!"

"Oh right, if you hadn't lost the key, you might have experienced what it's like to have your hands tied!" Zhao Yun teased.

Liu Ruyan:

She, who used to be eloquent, has made a huge fool of herself today, and she has no chance to refute Zhao Yun's words.

At the same time, she was also secretly relieved that only Zhao Yun had seen it, so there was a limit to how embarrassing it would be.

If her friends or Yuan Meng saw it, within a few days, all the girls in her villa area would know. In that case, she would definitely go and get her marriage certificate with Lin Mo tomorrow, get married the day after tomorrow, and then try not to go home for holidays. Who doesn't have a shame?

Meanwhile, downstairs, Lin Mo had a short-sleeved shirt draped over his shoulder, handcuffs on his wrists, and a Longquan sword in his hand, wanting to test his ability to cut through iron like mud.

But he immediately encountered a problem: his hands were cuffed, and he couldn't draw his sword because he wasn't close enough!

Finally, having no other choice, he held the sword upside down and used gravity to fling it out.

Once I drew my sword, the problem was solved. I tried it and found that it really worked. The blade touched the chain in the middle of the handcuffs, and in an instant, it was as smooth as a hot knife cutting cheese.

As his hands loosened, the chain in the middle of the handcuffs broke completely, and he finally gained the freedom of both hands.

The rest is simple: switch hands and use the Longquan sword to cut the handcuffs on your wrists. You don't even need to use force, and the sword won't hurt you.

'Ring ring'

With two metallic sounds as the handcuffs fell to the ground, he had completely removed them. He quickly put on his short-sleeved shirt and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

But in order not to arouse Liu Ruyan's suspicion, he did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he went to the supermarket at the entrance of the community, bought an ice cream, ate it, stayed for a while, and then went back.

When he went upstairs, Ms. Zhao Yun was no longer there. As for Liu Ruyan, she looked at him with great embarrassment.

"Oh dear, little brother, you must be exhausted! Come on, have some water and rest for a bit," Liu Ruyan hurriedly ran over with a water cup and held it to his lips, trying to please him.

There was nothing Emperor Ruyan could do; she was also feeling guilty. Today, because of her, Lin Mo had lost face and even had to go to the fire station.

She had already pictured the embarrassing scene in her mind; she had narrowly escaped disaster and could no longer ask for details.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's not hard work, I'm just unlucky!"

Little did they know that Lin Mo hadn't gone to the fire department at all; he had taken care of it himself downstairs in the apartment complex. When the garbage collector came the next day, he simply emptied the trash can, and there wouldn't be any trace left.

It's safe to say that, apart from Zhao Yun upstairs, no one else knew about their embarrassing moment today; the scope of their embarrassment was well contained.

The next day, Lin Mo went to the restaurant early in the morning. Although he was free now, the restaurant still had to be open for business.

Chuanmei and the others were completely relaxed, and didn't even go to the studio today.

With the online buzz surrounding Li Shiya's alleged involvement in the "garlic sprout incident" at various universities, coupled with the fact that she was surrounded by hundreds of people yesterday, the topic has now gone viral.

The studio was no longer safe, so everyone had to stay home. Of course, Chuanmei, having not been too tired from her thesis recently, was full of energy and was livestreaming from home. This would increase her income and also explain the incident of being surrounded yesterday. As for He Xiaoyue, she wasn't home; instead, she left at nine in the morning to take the subway to the airport to be a true fan.

Although she is neither a die-hard fan nor a sasaeng fan, she is still willing to go and join in the fun when a celebrity appears.

Meanwhile, the equally energetic Miss Yuan was not at home either, but went to the 4S store to pick up her little Zi.

That's right, the car that was hit has been repaired today, and the dealership has sent her to pick it up.

After picking up her car, she didn't come back. Instead, she went straight to Linmo Restaurant, packed two dishes, and then went home.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please try this. I didn't do anything else, just asked Mozi to make a vegetarian dish and a cold dish. I was afraid you couldn't stand the smell of meat, hehe!" Miss Yuan said, placing the packed food on the coffee table in the living room.

At this time, Feng Xue's belly was even bigger, and she had obviously gained more than a lot of weight, but her spirits were quite good, and she was clearly being well taken care of.

If all goes well, she will have a nephew in a few months, and she cares a lot about this sister-in-law.

"Thank you, Yuanyuan. How did you know I feel nauseous whenever I smell meat lately?" Feng Xue said with a smile.

Miss Yuan: "My mom said so, of course. How could my brother have told me? What do you think, brother?"

Yuan Hua listened from the side and smiled awkwardly. During this period, he was confined to his home and did not have to go to work. He stayed at home with his wife, after all, the new mother's emotions also needed to be comforted.

If his wife is pregnant and he goes out to play, he'll just be asking for trouble! Especially during this most sensitive time, his wife's morning sickness is getting worse, but pregnant women can't not eat meat. Recently, the housekeeper has almost gone bald. The pregnant woman's meals are bland and tasteless, and even delicious food makes her have morning sickness. Everyone is very worried.

"These two dishes look ordinary. Are they as amazing as you and Mom and Dad said? Let me taste them first to see if they're salty enough!" With that, Yuan Hua picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating.

But the next second, Miss Yuan snatched his chopsticks away: "Put them down! Is this for you? Do you even know how to eat it? Bro, have some shame!"

Yuan Hua awkwardly put down his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "Hey sis, I need to talk to you about something. Well, your brother is married now! And my wife is pregnant!"

Miss Yuan: "So?"

Yuan Hua: "You like to call me 'brother,' so now when I hear you call me 'brother,' I'm a little unable to hold back!"

Miss Yuan:

Is this something a human being should say? If I don't call you brother, what should I call you? Instead, Feng Xue, who was standing to the side, lowered her head in embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, Miss Yuan clasped her hands in a respectful gesture and said solemnly, "Brother, I'll remember that."

Yuan Hua: ? ? ?

"Elder brother?"

"Otherwise what? Mom!! The eldest son of the Yuan family is stealing my sister-in-law's food! Come and see!" Miss Yuan shouted.

Soon, Ms. Jiang rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand: "Who are you fighting with for food? Try and take one!"

"Mom, I didn't, I really didn't."

Before Yuan Hua could finish speaking, Miss Yuan pulled him away from her sister-in-law: "Could you move over a bit, you firstborn? I'm afraid you'll steal the food!"

Yuan Hua:

Feng Xue: o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

Ms. Jiang: ? ? ?

"What kind of nonsense is this? What kind of names are these?!"

"Well, your eldest son said that I shouldn't call him 'brother' anymore. The term 'brother' is a bit too ambiguous. To me now, he's just a roommate from a different time but who shared the same belly, a human male related by blood, a comrade with the same father and mother, and a mother's partner." Miss Yuan came up with several different terms without hesitation.

Although everything seems fine and even understandable, it just makes people laugh.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. You can call me big brother!" Yuan Hua explained from the side.

Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Oh, how could I possibly be worthy of someone as noble as you? How about I call you Brother Wang?"

I also want to see if you can annihilate the enemy without that sword. I certainly won't sacrifice myself for it.

At this moment, Feng Xue was almost laughing so hard that she felt her stomach pounding. When Ms. Jiang saw this, she quickly went over to pat her daughter-in-law on the back, and then kicked her eldest son: "Go, get out and stay there. All you do is fool around all day."

"Look at you, you're not even as good as Yuanyuan. At least Yuanyuan knew her sister-in-law didn't like to eat and found her something she liked. You, on the other hand, just stand there making things worse. You call yourself the legitimate son of the Yuan family? You're more like a Yuan family bastard. If you don't leave soon, I'll make you a hostage in the Yuan family!"

Yuan Hua:

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be hated by both people and dogs. It is said that in the five thousand years of Chinese history, the status of the eldest son has never been weakened, so why is it not effective for him?
