Hearing his gentle words, Jiang Yue's face flushed red.

She tried to regain her composure.

After a short while, she looked up and said.

"Lu Yu, Qin Xiang is missing, and my luggage is gone too."

Gone?

Lu Yu immediately realized that Jiang Yue had come by train with Qin Xiang this time.

Thinking of Qin Xiang, Lu Yu felt a surge of disgust.

When they first got married, his wife didn't dislike him. But Qin Xiang kept saying nonsensical things to her. Later, his wife started making a scene about getting a divorce, which he refused.

The wife caused quite a scene in the family compound in order to get a divorce.

Jiang Yue quickly recounted what had happened, then looked up at Lu Yu.

In her past life, after divorcing Lu Yu, she saw Qin Xiang and Lu Yu walking intimately together. Qin Xiang even approached her, claiming she was pregnant with Lu Yu's child. It turned out that it was all a staged act by Qin Xiang; she was lying to her.

Lu Yu never married Qin Xiang, nor did he ever touch her.

"I'll make a call when we get back to camp and ask someone to check it out for me. Don't worry."

Lu Yu comforted Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue nodded obediently.

Looking down, she found that Lu Yu was holding her hand. Her heart pounded even faster.

"Hello, sister-in-law," Zhang Wang's voice rang out.

Jiang Yue was startled and nervously tried to pull her hand back, but Lu Yu held her hand tightly.

Lu Yu looked coldly at Zhang Wang, his chilling gaze making Zhang Wang instantly understand his meaning.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

He was too loud and scared his sister-in-law.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Yue smiled faintly.

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Yue, slightly surprised.

She was acting very strange today. Before, when she looked at him, her gaze was always prickly, filled with disgust and aloofness. But today, all those thorns were gone.

Jiang Yue withdrew her hand; her mind was still somewhat confused.

Suddenly finding his hands empty, Lu Yu glanced down at them and spoke.

"Get in the car."

Jiang Yue hummed in agreement, and Lu Yu helped her get into the car. After she sat down, she heard Lu Yu's voice.

"Please come in and have a seat."

Jiang Yue looked up at Lu Yu outside the car.

His gaze was fixed on her, his eyes burning with intensity, and her face flushed.

Jiang Yue moved to the seat next to her.

Lu Yu immediately sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Yue felt the chair sag a little, and the originally spacious back seat became somewhat cramped.

She placed her hands on her knees, clenching them into fists with some nervousness.

She had fantasized about going back to how she used to be with him, but now, going back to the way things were, she felt a little lost.

"I brought you steamed buns."

Lu Yu took out a paper packet from his pocket and handed the bun to Jiang Yue.

steamed stuffed bun?

Now, whenever Jiang Yue sees steamed buns, she thinks of Qin Xiang and those painful memories.

Her expression changed drastically, and she shook her head in refusal.

"I won't eat."

Seeing Jiang Yue's pained, panicked, and frightened expression, Lu Yu felt a pang of heartache.

"Eat candy."

Lu Yu took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from another pocket.

Seeing the large handful of White Rabbit milk candies in Lu Yu's hand, Jiang Yue felt as if her heart had been struck by something.

These are her favorite candies. When she was little, her grandparents would give her a handful of White Rabbit milk candies to cheer her up when she was sad. She still does this now that she's grown up.

After she married Lu Yu, Lu Yu accidentally found out about this and would give her White Rabbit milk candy.
