"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Lu Tingen lowered his eyes and looked at her brows that were getting deeper and deeper, and gently smoothed her forehead with his right thumb.

"Don't frown or feel bad, I'll help you with everything."

Ren Xueer was firm, "I don't need it. What did you promise her?"

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this when we get home, okay?" Lu Tingen's tone revealed unprecedented tenderness. He hugged the woman in his arms and whispered in her ear.

"Be good and listen, Mom and Dad are watching!"

Ren Xueer warned in a tone that only the two of them could hear.

"Then you have to promise me first that you won't interfere in any of our Ren family's affairs. I don't care what that person says to you, you are not allowed to pay any attention to it."

A trace of doubt and dissatisfaction flashed in Lu Tingen's eyes, "Your Ren family's affairs? Where did you put me?"

Ren Xueer gently poked the man's chest as a reminder.

"Hey, man, wake up. You and I are in a contractual marriage. We're just living together temporarily. I think you're the one who needs to remember your identity at all times. Please don't cross the line!"

Lu Tingen stared at her chattering mouth thoughtfully, "That's true, but it still depends on my mood."

Ren Xueer glared at him with gritted teeth and couldn't help but scream out.

"Lu Tingen, that's not what you said before. Damn you!"

After he finished speaking, the four people at the table looked at each other in surprise, and suddenly said in unison, "He doesn't have an uncle."

Ren Xueer was slightly startled, "Uh?!"

The next second, the woman was filled with shame and anger, and she lay directly in the man's arms, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

She tugged at the man's tie again and again, and with a hint of ruthlessness, she lowered her voice and said, "You bastard, I'm not done with you."

Lu Tingen was not angry. Looking at her puffy cheeks, he simply picked her up and carried her sideways with a wicked smile.

"A dog man is a dog man, it's still a piece of meat anyway. What makes me curious is, what do you call a dog man's woman?"

Ren Xueer: "You... I don't want to bother with you, put me down!"

"No." Lu Tingen carried the woman across the dining table and was stopped by Lu's mother.

"Eat a meal in peace, come and eat quickly."

Lu Tingen: "You guys eat, we have more important housework to deal with now."

Mother Lu: "No matter how important the matter is, you have to eat first."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Father Lu coughed heavily, as if deliberately reminding him, "Look at how anxious he is. He is really useless."

Grandma Lu seemed to understand the meaning and smiled kindly.

"Hehehe... let them be!"

Upstairs bedroom.

The moment Ren Xueer escaped from the man's arms, she was like a jumping rabbit. She hopped to the window and deliberately kept a distance from the man.

"Aren't you going home tonight?"

"Huh? Isn't this a reply?" Lu Tingen understood what the woman meant and wanted to tease her deliberately, "Or do you want to spend time with me alone?"

"No!" Ren Xue'er looked at the night view outside the window, then suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Tingen, "Give me back my phone."

Lu Tingen raised his eyebrows, "What phone?"

Ren Xueer stepped forward and stretched out her hand to the man, "Stop it, give me back my phone."

The man continued to play dumb and tease her, "Why did you ask me for your phone?"

Ren Xueer raised her hand, eager to try, "Lu Tingen, don't force me to spank you!"

"Come here." Lu Tingen immediately closed his eyes, moved his face closer to the woman, and pointed at his lips.

"Girls, don't be so violent. Don't hit me. Just give me a kiss and I'll give the phone back to you right away."

"Haha!" Ren Xueer sneered twice, reached out and pushed the man's face away.

"You're thinking that, but it's my phone anyway. Why should I exchange it for my kiss?"

Lu Tingen said shamelessly, "Then exchange it with my kiss, come on!"

Ren Xueer rolled her eyes and said, "Fuck you, do you think I'm stupid?"

"You can go to my uncle, but you can't go to my sister!"

"Huh?" Ren Xue'er was stunned by what the man said, "Why?"

"I don't have an uncle, but I have a sister." Lu Tingen suddenly became serious, his eyes filled with unprecedented seriousness, "So don't scold me again, otherwise I will punish you."

"Sister?" Ren Xue'er didn't react for a moment and was stunned for several seconds. "You actually have a sister?"

"Um."

Ren Xueer sat down next to the man and asked, "Then why have you never mentioned it?"

"She..." Lu Tingen took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, sighed deeply, but ultimately did not light the cigarette.

Ren Xueer looked at the man who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and actually saw rare sadness and pain in his eyes.

She subconsciously changed the subject, stood up and walked towards the bathroom, "Um, I want to take a shower, where are my clothes?"

The man withdrew his thoughts and said lightly, "The closet is full of your clothes."

"Okay, thank you." After choosing her clothes, Ren Xueer quickly walked into the bathroom with a bath towel. She looked at herself in the mirror, breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured to herself.

"Ren Xue'er, Ren Xue'er, you'd better not say too much."

Perhaps everyone has a past hidden in their heart that they don't want others to know about.

It could be people, things, sweetness or sadness...

In short, it is the kind of part that cannot be seen in public and does not want to be discovered by others.

That part is like a thorn in your heart, which will pop out from time to time to torment you.

Just like my own unbearable experience——

Once missed, it is missed. Time will never go back, and some things will never have a second chance.

Thinking of this, Ren Xueer's eyes became moist unconsciously.

Just keep moving forward, keep going, and don't look back.

…

At ten o'clock the next morning, Ren Feng arrived at Lu Group on time.

In the president's office, Lu Tingen leaned against the window and talked on the phone for more than half an hour, completely ignoring the man standing stupidly beside him.

Ren Feng looked unhappy and sullen. Thinking of the old man's repeated warnings before he left, no matter how the other party made things difficult for him, the only thing he could do now was to endure.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tingen's attention finally shifted to him, and he asked casually: "When did you come?"

Ren Feng looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "Boss Lu, I came here at ten o'clock as you asked. You just glanced at me when I walked in!"

"Oh." Lu Tingen looked at him from his swivel chair, his eyes rolling around. "Turn around, walk straight, go out and come back in."

"Ah!" Ren Feng nodded slightly, walked to the door and reacted, looking confused.

"Ah? Mr. Lu, what do you mean?"

"Literally, a provincial key undergraduate student. Is this hard to understand?"
