Yan Xiruo saw Ye Juemo in the room. She opened her mouth and was about to say something to him when he carried his luggage and left the room.
What was left was an unusually cold and tall view of his back.
Yan Xiruo touched her nose. Her emotions were a little unclear.
Actually, it was good that he ignored her. After all, he was too dangerous and she couldn’t stand any provocation.
Lu Jingchen had already traumatized her heart once. She didn’t have the courage to pursue a new relationship. Furthermore, she was still tied up in the shackles of marriage.
She rubbed her lips lightly and looked at the closed door again with her clear almond-shaped eyes. Hopefully, she wouldn’t meet Ye Juemo again in the future!
…
After washing the bedsheets, Yan Xiruo packed her things and walked toward Lu Jingchen’s room.
Upon thinking of how she had argued with Lu Jingchen yesterday night and even attacked him twice, her heart felt unusually heavy and tired.
Ever since she was young, she didn’t have any other man in her eyes. Her gaze had always followed him.
The first time she accidentally bumped into him kissing another girl in the school garden, she lay on the bed and cried the entire night.
The first time he got her to accompany the pregnant woman he had a one-night stand with in the hotel for an abortion, she secretly swore in her heart that she would no longer like him.
However, just when she was about to forget him and accept a senior’s pursuit, he ran to her dormitory with 99 roses and confessed affectionately to her.
At that moment, he was like a star in the sky to her. She had never thought that he would take the initiative to confess to her one day.
She felt agitated, excited, and anxious. She was afraid that after agreeing to be with him, he would abandon her three months later, just like how he did to his exes. That night, she rejected him.
It wasn’t that she didn’t like him. She was afraid.
In relationships, she was never a bold person.
If not for him pursuing her persistently for close to half a year, she wouldn’t have become his girlfriend. When the two were dating, he was gentle and considerate. He was no longer flirtatious and had only her in his eyes and heart.
She didn’t expect that he had pursued and married her only to become the CEO of the Lu Group.
Closing her slightly red eyes, she warned herself not to be fooled by any other man in the future.
She pressed the doorbell. A moment later, the door was pulled open. Chu Keren stood at the door in a professional beige attire. When she saw Yan Xiruo, she frowned and said with reproach, “Brother-in-law had a high fever yesterday night. I was by his side the entire time. As the wife, where exactly did you go to? Also, he’s your husband, not your enemy. How could you be so ruthless to him?”
Yan Xiruo didn’t like that Chu Keren used such an attitude to talk to her. Regardless of whether it was business or personal, she didn’t have the right to say anything about the matters pertaining to her and Lu Jingchen.
“Sister-in-law, don’t forget that you’re my brother’s wife. Even if Lu Jingchen’s sick, there’s a doctor on the cruise. A man and a woman alone together in the middle of the night — what would others think about this?” Yan Xiruo said coldly.
Chu Keren’s face, with its exquisite makeup, suddenly changed. She glared at Yan Xiruo sharply. “Can you not be so dirty-minded? I’m your husband’s secretary. Should I look on and do nothing when he’s sick?”
A smile tugged at the corners of Yan Xiruo’s lips. “When my brother had a fever of 40 degrees back then, why were you indifferent to it?”
“Weren’t you by his side taking care of him back then?” Chu Keren flipped her long hair, and her lips curved into a smile without any clear meaning. “Xiruo, you probably don’t know this yet, but the person your brother loves isn’t me at all.”
Yan Xiruo was about to say something when Lu Jingchen rubbed his eyebrows and walked over with a weary look. “It’s so early in the morning. What are you arguing over?”
When Chu Keren saw Lu Jingchen, her eyes immediately became gentle. “CEO Lu, does your head still hurt?”
“It’s better.”
Yan Xiruo didn’t want to say anything further to them. She walked into the room, found her bag, and left without saying a word.
When she passed by Lu Jingchen, he suddenly pulled her arm hard.
“Secretary Chu, return to the room first. I have something to say to Yan Xiruo.”
Chu Keren saw that Lu Jingchen’s dark brown eyes were focused on Yan Xiruo’s body. A trace of jealousy flashed past her beautiful eyes while the hands by her side tightened slightly.
Women were always sensitive. She could feel that Lu Jingchen didn’t dislike Yan Xiruo completely.
…
After Chu Keren left, Lu Jingchen swept his gaze over the black gown Yan Xiruo was wearing and his face tightened. “Which man did you fool around with again yesterday night? Yan Xiruo, have you forgotten the warning I gave you? If you dare to make a cuckold out of me again, you can forget about getting a divorce in this lifetime!”
A deep sense of powerlessness spread from Yan Xiruo’s heart to her limbs. She frowned tightly and looked at the angry Lu Jingchen in disgust. “In my opinion, there isn’t a need to wait for the shareholder meeting to get a divorce. After returning today, I’ll tell Grandpa everything. Haven’t you despised me for being dirty? Yes, I’m dirty. However, you, Lu Jingchen, aren’t any cleaner!” After saying this, she flung his hand away and headed outside.
Lu Jingchen caught up with her immediately. His big palm clasped her wrist. He pulled hard and the distance between them was narrowed.
The more Yan Xiruo struggled, the more he was unwilling to let her go.
As the two of them pushed and pulled, powerful footsteps could be heard suddenly from the corridor.
Yan Xiruo subconsciously looked over.
Ye Juemo and a few equally tall and big men were walking over, and he was in the middle. He was wearing a black coat over his high-end customized suit and was looking prim and proper.
He was talking to an evilly handsome man next to him. The lines on his profile were like carvings, and his facial features were deep and perfect. He was expressionless, and his body exuded an almighty and superior powerful aura, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
Yan Xiruo saw them gradually approaching and stood rooted to the ground.
Lu Jingchen naturally didn’t miss the subtle changes in Yan Xiruo’s eyes when she saw Ye Juemo. He felt a sharp pain in his chest unexpectedly. Could it be that she had a change of heart so quickly?
He didn’t seem to be thinking as he suddenly pressed his hot lips against Yan Xiruo’s lips.
All of Yan Xiruo’s attention was on Ye Juemo. She didn’t expect Lu Jingchen to kiss her. When she tried to avoid him, it was already too late.
The moment their lips touched, Ye Juemo and the rest coincidentally walked past them.
When Yan Xiruo pushed Lu Jingchen away, she saw only Ye Juemo’s cold and stiff back as he walked away.
Upon realizing her abnormal reaction, she curved her lips and laughed at herself.
He wouldn’t care who she was with. Why did she have to feel guilty? Furthermore, didn’t she wanted to draw the boundaries clearly between them?
Lu Jingchen didn’t force a kiss on Yan Xiruo. He only kissed her lips lightly and released her as soon as Ye Juemo and the rest had walked away.
