The fastest updates for "穿越星際妻榮夫貴" are here!

In the previous life, tea was very common and was the first choice for welcoming guests, but in the future interstellar era, tea has become a luxury drink, with a high price. Luo Bi's family had limited means, so they didn't drink tea often, but the taste had long been etched in her heart.

A faint aroma of tea wafted to her nose, and Luo Bi, recognizing the familiar scent, suddenly realized something. The guests had left, so who was going to pay the bill? She inwardly cursed Hua Chen for his lack of manners.

Suddenly being dumped, Luo Bi was in a bad mood. She settled the bill, stood at the door, and stared at the terminal on her wrist, her fingers twitching. In the end, she resisted the urge to immediately tell her family about the canceled engagement, deciding to wait until she got home to break the news.

Luo Bi couldn't keep secrets. When she returned to the Wu family pharmacy, she directly told them about the canceled engagement. She had no qualms about airing her family's dirty laundry; whether others wanted to hear it or not, she spilled everything, feeling better once it was all out.

It wasn't her problem if others couldn't handle it.

"Sister Jiang Zhu, Hua Chen and I were getting along just fine. Why did he suddenly want to cancel the engagement?" Luo Bi was still puzzled and finally asked, her anger causing her to inadvertently pluck a leaf from a high-grade medicinal plant.

She nonchalantly applied a medicinal liquid to preserve the plant's efficacy, fortunately in time, so the plant wasn't ruined.

Jiang Zhu didn't notice Luo Bi almost ruining a high-grade medicinal plant. After a moment's thought, she said, "It couldn't be because of Hua Ran's damaged strong gene, right? Hua Ran is the most promising in your family. If something happened to him, it's normal for the Hua family to have other thoughts."

Luo Bi had the same thought, feeling restless and disheartened, with no enthusiasm for work. Her efficiency for the day was less than half of what it usually was.

Wu Yue didn't say much, sending her home early: "Go home and adjust your mood. Work hard tomorrow."

It wasn't that Wu Yue had a particularly good temper; it was simply that Luo Bi's technical skills were too high, and no one else could replace her. Hiring someone else would be a loss. Besides, Luo Bi was hard to deal with when she was in a bad mood, but when she worked, she was worth two people, and the quality of her finished products was unmatched, even by Wu Yue himself. Over time, Wu Yue stopped putting on airs as a manager and was content as long as Luo Bi worked hard.

Luo Bi's home was about a ten-minute drive from the Spirit Plant Street. Her running car wasn't as fast as a hover car, so by the time she slowly made her way home, the whole family was there.

Her father, Luo Hang, to earn more interstellar coins, often went on missions with mercenary groups, sometimes not seen for several days. Today, just after Hua Chen canceled the engagement, Luo Bi saw her father, which made her feel uneasy, as if something she couldn't predict had happened.

Luo Hang was leaning back on the sofa, trying to hide his anger, but his face still looked bad.

Luo Bi's father in this life was not like her father in her previous life. He had a big temper but was very upright, a perfect match for Luo Bi's taste. Because she found this life's father to her liking, Luo Bi impulsively arranged for her father to remarry, bringing in a stepmother and a stepbrother.

She had thought the stepbrother would be a burden, but he turned out to be a highly potential strong gene Thunder Flame Warrior, a great deal for the Luo family.

Regardless of what her father thought, Luo Bi felt that her family had struck a good deal, gaining a son with a strong gene level of S, a Thunder Flame Warrior. This would add a lot of confidence to any family.

Stepmother Guan Zhu Ting cautiously glanced at Luo Bi a couple of times, seeing no signs of anger, and called everyone to wash their hands and eat.
