*from chinese idiom (癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉) “A toad wants to eat swan meat”. Meaning: It describes someone who is aiming too high or coveting something far beyond their reach, especially in relationships. 

The dish was a feast for the eyes and nose. They were golden and emerald, with color, aroma, and flavor all perfectly balanced.

“My wife is an incredible cook who outperforms even the chefs at Jinjiang Hotel!” 

Gu Ye took a deep breath, heaping on the praise without restraint.

Chu Qiao couldn’t suppress her smile. 

“Despite having so much food, you can’t stop talking? Hurry up and eat, then wash the dishes and clean the stove!”

“At your command!” 

Gu Ye responded loudly, striking a comical pose.

Chu Qiao couldn’t hold back a laugh, though she shot him an exasperated look, as he never took anything seriously. 

She brought out her medicine grinding tools and sat with Gu Ye as he ate.

“Boss Tang asked me to prepare a hair growth ointment, five thousand yuan per dose.”

Chu Qiao spoke while grinding herbs. 

Gu Ye, who had just taken a big mouthful of rice, nearly choked. 

His eyes widened in shock as he stared at his wife. 

Five thousand yuan for one dose of medicine? 

He had worked tirelessly for a month, wearing out his shoe soles, and even with Yan Su’s help, he had only managed to sell ten machine tools, earning a commission of 14,500 yuan. 

Yet here was his wife, effortlessly making that same amount with just three doses of medicine.

Gu Ye, who had been feeling rather pleased with himself, suddenly felt a chill run through him. 

He deeply sensed a threat to his status in this household.

No more resting! As soon as the final payment came through, he would go out and sell more machine tools. 

He remembered hearing the old man and his buddies boasting back in the day, that a man must outperform his wife in two areas.

First : earning money.  

Second : in bed.

Though the old man was a bit senile now, those words really made sense. He needed to work even harder.

“My wife is truly outstanding, with first-rate cooking, piano skills, and money-making abilities!” 

Gu Ye praised, giving a thumbs-up. 

Then, lowering his voice, he whispered something in Chu Qiao’s ear.

“You shameless rogue!”

Chu Qiao’s face flushed, and she punched him lightly. 

Since their wedding night, this guy had become slicker, always spouting cheeky, flirtatious lines. 

Fortunately, he knew his limits and never said such things in front of Dabao and Xiaobao.

Gu Ye chuckled and continued eating. 

Chu Qiao brought up the matter of resigning from her job. 

“Boss Tang mentioned that a few more friends want the hair growth ointment. So I’m planning to quit my job at the dance hall. In a few days, I’ll tell Boss Tang to find another pianist.”

“Mm, it’s up to you.”

Gu Ye’s tone was casual. 

He respected his wife’s decisions, whether she wanted to work or not was entirely her choice.

“There’s one more thing. Lin Baiwei wants to introduce me to work as a fashion model. She needs photos for her own clothing store, as well as for some of her friends’ stores. She said the pay is pretty good, and the work is easy. What do you think, should I give it a try?” 

Chu Qiao brought up the matter.

Lin Baiwei had mentioned it during their wedding banquet, but Chu Qiao hadn’t agreed at the time. 

A few days ago, Lin Baiwei called again, saying her store had received a batch of qipaos and she wanted Chu Qiao to model them for promotional photos.

Since she was already planning to quit the dance hall, Chu Qiao was tempted. 

But she needed to discuss it with Gu Ye first. 

If he agreed, it would be great. And if not, she would keep pestering him until he agreed. 

“A print model? Do you want to do it?” 

Gu Ye asked in return.

He knew what print modeling entailed, it was basically shooting advertisements. 

His wife was attractive and had a wonderful figure, surpassing many models featured in magazines.

Chu Qiao nodded. 

“After I quit the dance hall, I need to find another job. Lin Baiwei said she has reliable connections. So I would like to give it a try.”

“Then go for it. Lin Baiwei seems pretty reliable.”

Gu Ye agreed. 

When Chu Qiao had mentioned asking Lin Baiwei to be her bridesmaid, he’d had his buddies look into her background. 

She came from a prominent family, the Lin family from the capital. 

Running a store was just a hobby for her. 

She was a sharp, capable Beijing girl. Though her personality was a bit unconventional, she was trustworthy.  

His wife would be safe hanging out with her.
