Chapter 51 Are you sure you want to divorce him?

Hearing Shen Li's words, Qu Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief. She glanced at Lu Yanchuan in the rearview mirror and saw him smiling mischievously at Shen Li.

Qu Xiang couldn't help but glance at Shen Li again.

If eyes could speak, Qu Xiang's look would probably be saying—what kind of romantic game are you two playing?

“I just wanted to make President Qu a little nervous,” Lu Yanchuan said, “so that she won’t actually try to arrange an old man for you later.”

Qu Xiang chuckled twice. "Mr. Lu, you flatter me. I'm already very nervous. It's not good for driving safety if the driver is too nervous."

Lu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "You two continue your conversation."

The atmosphere in the car had been quiet before, but Qu Xiang didn't want it to stay that quiet any longer. Who knew what kind of topic this big devil would bring up if things continued to be as silent as before?

To avoid the big boss bringing up the topic, Qu Xiang simply said to Lu Yanchuan, "President Lu, the base for the project you invested in with our company is almost finished. If you have time, you can come and inspect it."

"I don't have time." Lu Yanchuan didn't even look up. "Besides, I have a phobia of inspections for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Qu Xiang immediately recalled the dangerous situation he had encountered when he inspected the Lancheng factory.

"Alright, sending someone to take a look is fine," Qu Xiang said.

"Hmm?" Lu Yanchuan raised his eyes upon hearing this. "Then let Shen Li go."

Qu Xiang: "..."

Shen Li turned to look at him, "?"

Seeing the confusion on Shen Li's face, Lu Yanchuan smiled slightly. "This project was invested in because of you. Wouldn't it be most appropriate for you to follow up on it?"

Shen Li pursed her lips and remained silent. This was the same way when Lu Yanchuan invested money in some of Shen family's projects in the past.

It wasn't her business, nor was it a collaboration she hoped to achieve, but because of their marital relationship and her relationship with both parties, she inexplicably became the person responsible.

And it seems they don't even have the right to refuse, because it all seems perfectly natural to everyone...

"Others have invested so much money in your project, and you're just following along. How come it seems like you're the one who lost out?"

Don't try to gain an advantage and then fail to act virtuously.

Qu Xiang glanced at Shen Li and, seeing Shen Li's expression, guessed her friend's mood.

Qu Xiang simply stopped mentioning the project and pretended that Lu Yanchuan wasn't there, and started chatting with Shen Li.

"The soil you ordered in Lancheng has been delivered, and I've signed for it." Qu Xiang frowned. "There are several kinds, but I can't tell the difference."

“There is a difference.” When the topic of pottery, which she likes, came up, Shen Li’s expression brightened. “The colors after firing will be different. Didn’t you say you wanted a set of plates? I’ll go back and test the clay and make a set, then I’ll fire it and give it to you.”

"Then I'll have the rabbit shape." Qu Xiang didn't stand on ceremony and started ordering.

"A rabbit?" Shen Li nodded. "That works too."

Qu Xiang: "It's not difficult, is it? It won't interfere with your work, will it?"

Shen Li smiled, "It's not difficult, it won't cause any problems."

Qu Xiang was relieved. "That's good. You haven't been making pottery since you got married. It won't be easy for you to pick it up again now. It would be troublesome if it interfered with your work."

As Qu Xiang spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the man behind her in the rearview mirror.

Thinking to herself, if it weren't for the guy in the back seat, Lili wouldn't have had to keep giving up her dreams and the things she liked!

Lu Yanchuan did not look up, seemingly keeping his attention focused on the documents.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that his gaze remained fixed on one spot on the document on the screen, without moving.

Qu Xiang drove the car to the entrance of the Lu Group lobby.

"Mr. Lu, we've arrived." Qu Xiang turned to look at Lu Yanchuan in the back seat.

Zhou Yan arrived before them and walked up to open the back door.

Lu Yanchuan put away his tablet and got out of the car.

Out of courtesy to the client, Qu Xiang couldn't drive away immediately before Lu Yanchuan entered the Lu family's main hall, so she could only watch him go in.

Shen Li then watched Lu Yanchuan leave.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yanchuan only took one step out, handed the tablet computer in his hand to Zhou Yan, then turned back, bent down and knocked on the passenger window.

Knock knock knock.

Shen Li rolled down the car window and peered at him through it. "Did you leave anything behind?"

"Yes, I left you behind." Lu Yanchuan leaned against the car door, looking down at her.

Despite saying that, he didn't intend to let Shen Li get out of the car, only saying, "I want the tiger."

“…What?” Shen Li was completely taken aback and had no idea what he meant.

What... a tiger?

Shen Li blinked gently. Perhaps because Lu Yanchuan had never made such a request to her, although a thought flashed through Shen Li's mind, she couldn't quite grasp it.

I can't understand what this means.

But Lu Yanchuan didn't say anything more. After saying that, he stretched out a long index finger and poked Shen Li's forehead!

Then he turned and went into the main hall of the Lu family.

Shen Li covered her forehead, her expression still somewhat bewildered.

Qu Xiang drove off, then couldn't help but click her tongue twice, "Is this some kind of romantic gesture between you two, or...?"

"What?!" Shen Li looked at Qu Xiang in disbelief.

Qu Xiang said, "You really didn't understand? He heard me say I wanted a rabbit plate, so he told you he wanted a tiger plate."

Shen Li: "..."

Why would she make a tiger for him?

Perhaps because she found it too absurd, Shen Li couldn't help but cover her face and laugh, "...No, is he sick?"

Such a big boss, who has seen many high-end works of art, actually asked for a tiger plate?

After driving for a while, Qu Xiang pulled over and looked at Shen Li seriously. "Li Li, I'm asking you one more time. Are you sure you want to divorce Lu Yanchuan? If you are, I'll open a law firm for you."

Shen Li's smile faltered. She knew why Qu Xiang had asked that question; perhaps it was because Lu Yanchuan's attitude and behavior recently were different from those of the previous five years.

That's what gives people the illusion that... maybe there's a chance for this marriage to turn around...

It's just an illusion.

Shen Li nodded. "Let's go, to the law firm."

Qu Xiang stared at Shen Li for a moment, then sighed silently.

Qu Xiang had always hoped that Li Li could break free from Lu Yanchuan, this hopeless marriage, and the Lu family, and live a happier life. That's why she helped her find a reliable lawyer, and even gave up on investing in the Lu Group...

But after seeing the smile on Lili's face, I became a little uncertain.

She just hoped that Shen Li could be happier.

But Qu Xiang had seen the smile on Shen Li's face earlier, so happy. That's why Qu Xiang hesitated and asked the question she just asked.

But it's clear that Shen Li remains determined.

"Okay." Qu Xiang started the car and drove off.
