Lu Huan was already being mercilessly mocked by Yan Shi and Chu Han, but Gu Zhendong was also bullying her.

Just as she was about to put aside the lovingly prepared bento box she had made that morning and eat the takeout Yan Shi had ordered, Gu Zhendong called her via video.

This scoundrel went to such lengths just to get her to eat his love-filled bento box.

Lu Huan was reluctant to answer, but thinking about the consequences, she slowly picked up the phone.

Have you had lunch?

"You ate it?" Lu Huan asked back.

Gu Zhendong stared at the heart-shaped bento box next to him in silence for two or three seconds. He had just taken a bite, and the taste was indeed not very good, but since he had made it himself, he couldn't not eat it.

Gu Zhendong forced a "hmm" and lied, saying, "The taste is not bad!"

Lu Huan was stunned when he heard this.

He's now capable of lying through his teeth to convince himself to eat lunch.

If it weren't for completing the mission, Gu Zhendong would never have let Lu Huan eat such a terrible meal. His tone was very gentle, "Just try one bite. You've been busy for over an hour this morning, haven't you?"

Lu Huan: ...

She was completely resistant.

Lu Huan really didn't want to eat, but then she thought that Gu Zhendong had already eaten, and if she didn't eat, it would seem like she wasn't sincere about their love.

"Then I'll reluctantly try a bite!"

Lu Huan reluctantly picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of the dark, mushy chicken leg, and took a small bite.

The burnt outer layer tasted bitter, while the inside was tasteless and even had a slightly bloody smell. Lu Huan couldn't eat it after just one bite and immediately spat it out.

Staring pitifully at Gu Zhendong in the video, she said, "You're lying! How can this taste bad?"

Gu Zhendong didn't hear Xiao Hao's usual cold, mechanical voice, which meant the mission wasn't complete.

How can we get Lu Huan to eat?

This really put Gu Zhendong in a difficult position.

The chicken leg was all black and mushy; eating too much of it would probably give you diarrhea. Gu Zhendong was reluctant, "Forget it, since it doesn't taste good, you don't have to eat it!"

At worst, I can just endure the headache for a while and then turn into a cat for a few days. It's not like I haven't done it before.

Lu Huan was stunned, not expecting that Gu Zhendong would actually give up on letting her eat the bento box.

However, he didn't look too good; he was probably saddened by this.

Maybe he really just wanted to eat a homemade bento box that each other made, just like any other young couple?

I glanced down at the food in the lunchbox, reluctantly picked up a piece of green vegetable, and forced myself to take a bite.

It seemed like too much salt had been added to the greens, making Lu Huan feel quite nauseous from the saltiness. But at least it was much more palatable than the chicken leg. Lu Huan closed her eyes, forced herself to swallow the greens, and then reluctantly smiled at Gu Zhendong, "Hehe, actually these greens are alright."

Forget it, I can't hurt my husband's pride, lest Gu Zhendong suffer a blow and then cook for me every day.

—Host, congratulations on completing today's task.

Just as Gu Zhendong was about to advise Lu Huan not to force herself, Xiao Hao offered his congratulations.

Gu Zhendong thought about it and realized that Lu Huan had indeed been wronged, so he had to make it up to her that night. "Since you don't want to eat, then don't eat! What do you want to eat tonight? I'll take you there!"

This is what Gu Zhendong should say, not cook himself.

After hanging up with Gu Zhendong, Lu Huan tossed the lovingly prepared bento box aside and picked up her chopsticks to eat takeout.

Yan Shi clicked her tongue and said, "Didn't you say your husband's cooking is delicious? Why are you eating our food?"

Chu Han chimed in, "That's right!"

"Isn't that just going through the motions?"

"Really? You seemed quite moved while eating, you were almost in tears!"

Nonsense, she clearly felt like she was crying because she thought the food was so bad!

Lu Huan glared at the two of them angrily, "If you say another word, I believe I'll let you two have a taste too!"

Yan Shi and Chu Han laughed heartily, "No, no, no, your husband made this bento box for you with his own love, how could we dare to eat it!"

"..."

With the school anniversary approaching, Lu Huan had to reduce her food intake in order to maintain her figure.

I heard that she'll be recording a video for the school anniversary gala, so she needs to lose weight to look thinner on camera.

For several days in a row, I was busy rehearsing and also had to find time to do voice-over at Gao Hui's studio. I was busy until about 10 o'clock every night before I could go home.

Since transmigrating into the book, she has been living a leisurely life and hasn't been this busy in a long time. As a result, she is so sleepy in the morning that she doesn't want to get up, and she falls asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow at night.

Counting the days, the two of them haven't had sex for several days. Tomorrow is Saturday, so they can sleep in.

When Gu Zhendong came out after taking a shower, the woman was already fast asleep, wrapped in her blanket. Gu Zhendong sighed helplessly, not wanting to wake her.

Forget it, considering how busy she's been lately, let's wait until things calm down before talking about it.

After comforting himself, Gu Zhendong lifted the covers and got into bed.

These days, Lu Huan has gotten used to having someone else sleeping next to her. Even when she wakes up every morning and finds herself in Gu Zhendong's arms, she rarely swoons over the man's sleeping face anymore.

As soon as Gu Zhendong got into bed, Lu Huan pressed herself against him and hugged him.

As winter approached, Lu Huan's hands and feet grew increasingly cold. The man frowned slightly, wondering how she had managed to fall asleep.

Lu Huan hadn't slept until she naturally woke up for several days. After waking up, she wasn't in a hurry to get out of bed. She lazily stayed in bed, scrolled through her phone for a while, and then started watching TV dramas.

Gu Zhendong was downstairs. He figured Lu Huan should be getting up soon, so he went upstairs.

As if it knew he was going to find Lu Huan, Gun Gun followed behind him, meowing. However, before it could even enter the bedroom, Gu Zhendong ruthlessly shut the door out.

Lu Huan was watching a TV series when she heard a noise. She looked up and saw Gu Zhendong walk in. "I think I just heard a rolling sound."

Gu Zhendong denied it, saying, "You misheard. It should be the sound of a cat meowing in a TV series."

Lu Huan gave a blank "Eh?"

Gu Zhendong nodded affirmatively, "Grandpa has taken a liking to it lately, and he's been holding it while listening to opera!"

Gu Zhendong disliked the cat taking over Lu Huan's life, so the cat became the old man's favorite pet.

Lately, the old man has had nothing to do, so he spends his days listening to operas and playing with and feeding the cats. Gun Gun has gotten much fatter than when it first came to the Gu family.

Lu Huan thought about it and realized it made sense. She had been too busy these past few days, so it was possible that she was experiencing auditory hallucinations occasionally.

Is the TV show good?

Lu Huan nodded and replied, "It looks good!"

"You think you're as good-looking as me?"

As he spoke, the man brought his slender fingers together, lifted Lu Huan's chin, and brought them into her gaze.

Lu Huan had just woken up, her eyes were moist and confused, making one want to kiss her.

Lu Huan: ...Why are you suddenly asking this question?

Gu Zhendong's question was too dangerous; if he answered it wrong, he would be completely taken advantage of.

Without a second thought, Lu Huan tossed aside her phone, grabbed the man, and whined, "Of course, my husband is the most handsome!"

The man looked at her with a half-smile, his gaze sending chills down her spine.

"Really? Then do you want to kiss me again?"

"..."

The reality was not as simple as Lu Huan imagined. Gu Zhendong hadn't eaten meat for several days, so of course he seized this opportunity to bully people.

Lu Huan sobbed, "Gu Zhendong, I'm hungry!"

"It'll be ready in a minute!"

"..." Go to hell, it'll be over in a minute.

Gu Zhendong, who hadn't been satisfied the night before, was now thoroughly satisfied with his meal.

After being tossed and turned, Lu Huan was even more too weak to move.

"Should I have the maid bring it up for you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Huan immediately felt a surge of strength and sat up abruptly from the bed. "No need, no need, I'll go downstairs to eat by myself!"

Just kidding, if everyone found out about this, where would I put my face?

Lu Huan forced herself to get up, not daring to tell the truth to Yan Rong's concerned greeting. She glared fiercely at the culprit out of the corner of her eye, but in front of Yan Rong, she was as obedient as a little lamb. "I stayed up too late reading last night and accidentally overslept!"

Yan Rong understood everything from the eye contact between her son and daughter-in-law.

"My daughter-in-law is still young, it's normal for a girl to be shy," Yan Rong said, pulling Lu Huan's hand. "Eat quickly, we saved this especially for you!"

While Lu Huan was eating, Yan Rong pulled her son aside and scolded him a couple of times.

After a few words, Gu Zhendong's face darkened.

She's only been married two or three times, and she's already so exhausted. It's all because of her own anxieties. She had to attend some school anniversary celebration and also found herself a voice-over job.

Gu Zhendong is truly innocent.

After resting at home for two days, I finally went to class feeling refreshed and full of energy.

As the anniversary celebration drew closer, Lu Huan became increasingly busy.

To ensure the exact timing of this rehearsal, Yu Ting went through the process just like in the actual performance.

As a female host, Lu Huan stood in high heels from beginning to end, so busy that she didn't have a moment to rest.

After finally making it to halftime, Lu Huan sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

My feet hurt now, and my back aches too. Once I sit down, I don't want to move an inch.

I really don't know what she was thinking back then, that she had the brain fart to run for host.

Oh well, I'll have to bear the consequences of my own actions.

Lu Huan glanced at her phone and saw that Gu Zhendong had called her half an hour earlier.

There were too many people and it was too noisy, so Lu Huan took her phone and went outside.

The call connected within seconds, and the man on the other end answered, "I was busy with rehearsals. What did you want to talk to me about?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that we're having dinner at a friend's house tonight. We have a pretty good relationship with that family."

According to Gu Zhendong, the two families are old friends and have always had a good relationship.

Lu Huan didn't hesitate, "Then should I dress up a bit?"

If the relationship is good, it proves that the other party's family is also very wealthy, so she should dress more formally to show respect to the host.

Gu Zhendong's voice held a hint of amusement upon hearing her words, "No need, just dress as usual! They're more curious about what my wife looks like."

It would have been better if he hadn't said it, because saying it made Lu Huan even more nervous.

Midway through, Xin Yue messaged me, saying she wanted to come and see the rehearsal for the school anniversary celebration, and she also brought a friend along.

Just as Lu Huan was about to ask which friend it was, she heard a voice coming from behind.

Lu Huan turned around and met Lu Sangsang's gaze. "Did you need something from me?"

"Can't I talk to you if there's nothing wrong?"

Of course, that's not exactly how it works; she just felt there was really no need for them to be together.

Lu Sangsang has always maintained a superior attitude, and everyone thinks she is an unattainable flower on a high mountain. However, Lu Huan understands her true nature.
