Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As the couple chatted, Mrs. Qian suddenly called out, “I remember now. I was wondering why Mrs. Lu looked so familiar today!”
Mr. Qian was shocked by her. “Everyone looks familiar to you. Have you seen Mrs. Lu before?”
“No.”
Mrs. Qian could not be bothered to remove her makeup and skincare. She quickly walked to the bedside and sat down, she lowered her voice and said, “I just remembered. Do you remember when I went to London to visit my grandmother five years ago? At that time, I saw Zhong Huai in London. There was a girl by his side. Zhong Huai introduced her to me as his girlfriend! Mrs. Lu is Zhong Huai’s ex-girlfriend!”
Mr. Qian was stunned. After he reacted, he shook his head repeatedly. “That’s impossible. You must have remembered wrongly.”
“I definitely remembered it right!” Mrs. Qian’s breathing quickened. “How could I remember her face wrong? Zhong Huai liked her very much. He even had that girl’s tattoo on his hand. It was her. Mrs. Lu was Zhong Huai’s ex-girlfriend!”
Zhong Huai kept a low profile. Even his family friends did not have many interactions with him, and very few people had seen Zhong Huai’s girlfriend. Mrs. Qian had just happened to meet him.
Mr. Qian fell into deep thought. After a long while, he raised his head and said to his wife, “Don’t tell anyone about this. Don’t even mention it. Even if you’ve met him, you should pretend that you haven’t.”
Mrs. Qian was confused.
“Lu Wanggui has no business relationship with Shengkong Group. As a cautious person, it’s impossible for him not to know about his wife’s past. Today, he came to this dinner party with only one purpose.”
“What?”
“He wants everyone who knows about it to know that Xiang Xiaoyuan is his wife now.”
When Lu Wanggui returned, Xiang Xiaoyuan had already fallen asleep. He went to the bedroom with a gloomy expression and sat down by the bed, staring at Xiang Xiaoyuan’s sleeping face.
After an unknown amount of time, he reached out and gently rubbed the side of her face with his fingertips. Then, he helped her to tuck her hair behind her ears, and his fingers lingered on her earlobe for a few more seconds.
The next day, when Xiang Xiaoyuan woke up, the Lu father and son had both left for work. She and Yang Liu had agreed to spend the day outside.
After picking up Yang Liu, Xiang Xiaoyuan went to a department store located in the center of the city. Although Xiang Xiaoyuan said that she was going to use her credit card, in reality, she did not need anything. After buying a few bottles of men’s sunscreen spray for Lu Bei, she and Yang Liu went upstairs.
Yang Liu had her eyes set on a glass in a store. She couldn’t move no matter what. Unfortunately, this cup was not for sale, but a gift. One needed to spend at least 10,000 yuan in the store to receive it.
Yang Liu was terrified when she heard this number. This store mainly sold men’s clothing. She didn’t have a boyfriend, and her father wouldn’t wear this type of clothing. It would be equivalent to spending 10,000 yuan for a glass. Yang Liu couldn’t do such a crazy thing.
Xiang Xiaoyuan could tell that Yang Liu really liked it, so she said, “It just so happens that I haven’t swiped my card today. How about this? I’ll buy something over 10,000 yuan, and then give you the glass?”
Yang Liu blurted out, “There’s no need for that. Who are you buying men’s clothes for?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan patted her shoulder. “You’re single, but I’m not. I have a husband.”
Yang Liu: “…”
Right.
Up until now, Xiang Xiaoyuan had not used her black card. Now that she was picking out clothes for Lu Wanggui, she slowly became excited. After looking around, she picked a shirt. This shirt was well-cut, and she could imagine how it would look on Lu Wanggui’s body. He had always been meticulous, always buttoning the top button of the shirt tightly. However, when he’s home, he would slowly unbutton it.
Yang Liu saw Xiang Xiaoyuan staring at the shirt in a daze and walked over and bumped into her deliberately. “What are you thinking about?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan had a serious expression. “I’m not thinking about anything.”
Yang Liu: “…”
Yeah, right.
She looked at the shirt in Xiang Xiaoyuan’s hand. “You like this shirt?” After saying that, she reached out and secretly flipped the label. Her breathing immediately became rapid. Could someone tell her why a shirt cost tens of thousands of yuan?
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. “But I don’t know his size.”
Yang Liu was surprised. “Is this the first time you’re buying clothes for him?”
“Yes.” Xiang Xiaoyuan thought of something. “He hasn’t bought clothes for me yet. It’s a loss.”
But this time it was fine. He gave her a black card, so it was not too much for her to buy him a shirt.
Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know Lu Wanggui’s size, so she called the butler to ask. Who knew that even the butler, who knew Lu Wanggui well, would say, “I’m sorry, Madam, I don’t know.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”
I don’t believe you.
