Chapter 62: Chapter 62 I am Her Husband

Tuan Tuan pouted, looking every bit the picture of grievance as he stared expectantly at Chen Yu.

At that moment, Tong Ya was also called over to stand there and be lectured.

Over the past few days, due to Li Lan and Chen Guang's influence, Chen Yu had noticed that the relationship between him and Tong Ya had progressed too quickly.

While Tong Ya had already met his parents, he had not yet met her father.

Even if they really reached that step, he and Tong Ya had not yet registered their marriage and were not legally husband and wife.

And now Tuan Tuan was calling Tong Ya "Mom," which was definitely overstepping bounds.

But before Chen Yu could say a few words, Li Lan came running over with a broom.

"What are you doing? You dare to bully her before you're married, once you are married, you'll probably eat her alive."

Chen Yu, feeling helpless, said, "Mom, the kid doesn't understand, she's already started calling Tong Ya 'Mom'..."

"Kids can call her whatever they want, I've already given my tacit consent!"

Saying so, Li Lan took Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan upstairs.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, only to suddenly notice Chu Hong watching him with a half-eaten pancake in her mouth, her face full of gossip.

"Brother Yu, does that mean we should start calling Tong Ya 'Sister-in-Law' from now on?"

Chen Yu stared straight at Chu Hong, "Don't you have anything better to do?"

Chu Hong jumped, hurriedly took a bite of her pancake and went upstairs.

The braised dishes on the first floor had sold out, and the cleaning was almost done.

The others had also gone upstairs to help, leaving only Chu Hong to keep watch on the first floor.

Now that Chen Yu was angry, she didn't dare stay any longer.

At eight in the evening, Chen Yu began to arrange for closing time.

The last few days he had gotten used to the business hours and pace, and the neighbors had figured out the timing.

After eight o'clock, there were hardly any customers left.

[Congratulations to the host for perfectly completing another day of business. Today's net profit is 164,200 yuan. You have earned 164,200 points. The current total accumulated points are 1,200,080.]

The system's accounts for the past two days had been clear, with the daily turnover fixed at 204,200 yuan.

After spending forty thousand on flour, meat, and seasonings yesterday, the net profit was now down to this amount.

He now had nearly 210,000 yuan in liquid assets on hand.

However, he didn't deposit any money in his current account today.

After tomorrow, there wouldn't be much raw material left in the warehouse, and it would be time for another big expense.

While he was calculating, Li Lan and Tong Ya had already set the dinner table.

Li Lan didn't disturb Chen Yu.

She had seen the operations of the shop over the last few days.

Moreover, she had also run a shop during her younger years.

Based on the daily customer flow and the pricing, she could roughly estimate how much Chen Yu was earning every day.

She would often marvel to herself that divorcing Fang Yuan was the right decision.

Not only did he have such a successful business now, but he also had Tong Ya by his side.

At eight-thirty in the evening, everyone helped move the delivered pork into the cold storage, and then they all went home.

On the way back these last two days, Chu Hong had been bringing some braised dishes and pancakes for Tang Xiaowei.

The girl had said she landed a big project and needed to lock herself away to paint at home; she wouldn't be out for ten days.

Just as Chen Yu was about to close the folding door, Tong Ya suddenly stopped him.

"There are more mosquitoes these past two days, we're running out of mosquito repellent. I'll go buy some!"

With that, Tong Ya hurried out the door.

But just as Tong Ya walked into the supermarket across the street, a clattering noise suddenly came from inside.

Chen Yu's heart tightened, and he sprang up and ran over.

The customers and sales clerks in the supermarket were also frantically running out at this moment.

Chen Yu reached out and grabbed someone at random, "What's going on?"

"Someone is stealing stuff!"

Chen Yu's pupils dilated suddenly, ignoring the stream of people rushing out and vigorously squeezed into the supermarket.

He saw a burly, disheveled man with one hand clutching Tong Ya's neck and the other holding a knife under her chin.

"Nobody come closer, I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want the money!"

Chen Yu quickly stopped in his tracks, "Buddy, calm down, I have money, I can give it to you, just let her go first."

Tong Ya, on the other hand, seemed quite calm, at first glance like a rich heiress who had seen the world.

"Right, calm down, if you kill me, you won't get any money either."

"Don't fucking talk!" the disheveled man shouted, and the knife in his hand pressed forward a bit.

A cut immediately appeared on Tong Ya's neck. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Don't move! Let's talk this over." Chen Yu stood there with an outstretched hand, looking very tense, while he took out his mobile phone.

"Look, I have money in my phone, I can give it to you..."

"Don't play that game with me." The disheveled man became somewhat agitated, "I want cash, old bills, unsequential, and also get me a car."

Chen Yu's pupils contracted slightly, realizing this guy was a seasoned criminal.

"These days nobody uses cash..."

"I don't care!" The man exerted force again, and a line of blood flowed down Tong Ya's neck.

"How about this, I'll trade places with her!" Chen Yu raised his hands, moving slowly forward.

"You trade for her, who do you think you are?" the man roared while tightening his grip with both hands.

The immense pressure almost stopped Tong Ya from breathing.

"I am her husband!" Chen Yu almost shouted out reflexively.

Tong Ya, who was struggling to breathe, now widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at Chen Yu.

He admitted it! He admitted it!

Tong Ya mentally shouted with excitement, not at all concerned about her current predicament.

The disheveled man sized up Chen Yu and then looked at Tong Ya.

He seemed to think they were a good match.

They were using the same model of mobile phones, with matching couple cases no less.

"Fine, come over here slowly!" The disheveled man slowly released Tong Ya.

Just as he let go, Tong Ya suddenly did a beautiful split by spreading her legs front and back.

Then she flipped sideways, executing a standard dance split leap.

Chen Yu also took the opportunity to leap onto the disheveled man's back and pinned down his hands.

At this moment, the relevant personnel also arrived in time and took the man away.

As this guy was being led away, he gave Tong Ya a look of disbelief.

As if questioning how Tong Ya could have pulled off those two highly difficult moves just now.

Chen Yu instinctively bent down to scoop Tong Ya into his arms, heading straight for the ambulance outside.

"You just said you are my husband! Can I take that seriously?"

Chen Yu's stride suddenly halted, and he seemed somewhat stunned.

Yet his breathing became incredibly rapid.

Just now, in that instant, he hadn't thought of anything except that he had to save Tong Ya.

If anything had happened to Tong Ya, he would never have forgiven himself for the rest of his life.

Moreover, inside his heart at that moment, a voice kept telling him, he couldn't be without Tong Ya.
