Chapter 644: Can't Be Cheated

Lu Dai was not a person who could not let go. She had always had a good attitude towards this marriage. She knew everything about Chen Zheng and Cen Sixue, and it was she who proposed the marriage. Before the marriage, Chen Zheng also told her clearly that all he could do was fulfill his responsibilities and obligations as a husband, and he might not be able to give her what she wanted in terms of emotions.

She said it herself that it didn't matter. After marriage, Shen Zheng treated her well. They did everything that a couple should do, as long as Cen Sixue was not involved.

Circumventing conflicts does not mean resolving them. To put it bluntly, both of them tacitly chose to escape, one because he could not forget, and the other was afraid of breaking the peace.

After the lawsuit, Cen Sixue went abroad. She divorced Chen Xun. The case did not involve her much, but public opinion has been attacking her. Lu Dai did not hate her. She had no choice but to do some things. On the day the trial ended, when the media surrounded Cen Sixue, Lu Dai helped her out.

Lu Dai is the kind of person who is very clear-headed. Chen Zheng can't forget Cen Sixue, and her making things difficult for Cen Sixue won't solve the problem - just like the situation today. If Chen Zheng had completely let it go, he wouldn't have been called away by a phone call.

Buzz——

The cell phone on the sofa vibrated briefly, interrupting Lu Dai's somewhat confused thoughts.

Lu Dai picked up her phone, and her eyes lit up when she saw the WeChat message. She clicked on it and found that it was not from Chen Zheng.

It was her good friend, Zhong Qian.

Zhong Qian forwarded a video that was taken by the media at tonight's annual meeting. The video happened to be the part where she used her mobile phone to shoot Shen Zheng giving a speech on the stage. The accompanying commentary was praising their good relationship as a couple.

Zhong Qian: [They seem quite affectionate, are things going well lately?]

Lu Dai looked at her friend's question, laughed, and answered irrelevantly: "Let's go shopping tomorrow."

Zhong Qian: [Oh my, how rare! You, such a busy man, have time to ask me out?]

Lu Dai: [I'm not in a good mood. I'm trying to absorb your energy.]

Zhong Qian: [Come on, you're just a charging station, how can I suck it up for you?]

Zhong Qian: [Why are you in a bad mood? Did something bad happen at work?]

Lu Dai: [No.]

Zhong Qian: [Had a fight with Chen Zheng?]

Lu Dai: [Neither.]

Zhong Qian: [What happened? ]

Lu Dai told Zhong Qian that Shen Zheng might go to find Cen Sixue. Her tone was relatively calm, but Zhong Qian was no longer calm after hearing it.

The screen was filled with exclamation marks in the messages sent.

Zhong Qian: [You just let him go?! What is he doing!!! Doesn't he know he's already married?! If it weren't for your help, how could he have brought down Chen Xun so quickly?!!! Damn scumbag!!]

Lu Dai: [Even if I don't let him go, he will go anyway.]

She saw this point very clearly. When encountering such a thing, it is useless to stop it. The more you try to stop it, the more rebellious it will become. Shen Zheng will not buy it.

Zhong Qian: [You two are married now, and he wants to burn the bridge now?]

Lu Dai: [No, he does a pretty good job of fulfilling his responsibilities and obligations as a husband.]

Zhong Qian: [You call this 'okay'? He left his wife to meet his ex-girlfriend, and you're still defending him!]

Lu Dai: [I'm not trying to defend her. We made this clear before we got married. He didn't hide the fact that I liked her. I chose her myself.]

Zhong Qian: [That's why I say you're being unreasonable. You have so many good men to choose from, but you have to choose someone who has someone else in his heart.]

Lu Dai: [I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I complete a challenging project.]

Zhong Qian: [I'm afraid you'll fail halfway.]

Lu Dai: [Who am I?]

Zhong Qian: [Alright, alright, alright. You are the invincible and powerful Second Miss Lu. What's a mere Shen Zheng to you?]

Lu Dai: [He can no longer divorce me.]

Zhong Qian: [That's fine. Even if you can't win his heart, it's okay as long as you can win his body. That's your style.]

Lu Dai's eyes focused on the sentence "This is your style" and she smiled again.

really.

She is a result-oriented person. As long as the result is correct, she doesn't care much about the process.

Maybe I was just being pretentious today. Emotions can be adjusted.

Forget it, let’s go to sleep.

After Lu Dai finished chatting with Zhong Qian, she glanced at the door of the living room and then got up and went upstairs.

She returned to the master bedroom, locked the door, lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and quickly fell asleep.

——

It was already half past eleven when Shen Zheng came back.

When he parked his car in the yard, he saw that the light in the living room was on. Thinking that Lu Dai was still waiting for him, he subconsciously quickened his pace. However, after scanning his fingerprint to enter the door, he found that the living room was empty.

"Lu Dai?" Shen Zheng looked towards the kitchen and called her name.

No response.

Shen Zheng changed into slippers and looked around downstairs, but couldn't find anyone.

That meant she should go upstairs to rest. She was very tired today and there was really no need for her to sit in the living room and waste time waiting for him.

Chen Zheng went upstairs, intending to go to the bedroom to get some clean clothes to take a shower. He touched the door handle, but found that he couldn't turn it at all - the master bedroom door was locked from the inside.

Shen Zheng tried once and then stopped moving. It was so late and he was afraid of waking Lu Dai up.

He went straight to the guest room, took a set of pajamas prepared in the room, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then fell asleep in the guest room.

A night passed.

Shen Zheng's biological clock is very accurate and he gets up on time at seven o'clock.

After getting up, Shen Zheng put on his clothes and went out. When he passed the master bedroom, he found that the door was still closed, so he went downstairs.

Downstairs, Auntie was busy making breakfast.

Seeing Shen Zheng come in, the aunt smiled and said, "Good morning," "Is the madam still awake?"

Shen Zheng said "hmm", pulled out a chair and sat down.

Auntie served breakfast to Shen Zheng first. He had just taken two sips of soy milk when he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Lu Dai coming in.

She had just woken up and was still in her pajamas, with her hair tied up casually and no makeup on, looking less aggressive than usual.

Shen Zheng met Lu Dai's eyes and said, "You're awake. Good morning."

Lu Dai glanced at him indifferently, looked away, and didn't respond to him.

She pulled out a chair and sat opposite her, saying to her aunt, "Just give me a cup of American coffee. I don't want to have breakfast."

Auntie knew that Lu Dai was a man of her word, so she didn't try to persuade her: "Okay, ma'am."

Lu Dai held her phone and chatted with Zhong Qian about the arrangements for their meeting. After the American coffee was handed to her, she picked it up and took a sip.

"You have a bad stomach, so don't drink American coffee on an empty stomach." Chen Zheng took the initiative to talk to her again, "Eat a little breakfast."

Lu Dai didn't look up. She didn't feel anything when she heard this.

Shen Zheng was just fulfilling his duties as a husband, and it had been like this since they got married.

Sometimes Lu Dai hated herself for being too calculating. If she were a little more confused and just took Shen Zheng's words as concern, she might feel better.

Unfortunately, she couldn't deceive herself, nor did she bother to deceive herself.

So Lu Dai didn't respond to him.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit depressing.

Lu Dai quickly finished a glass of American coffee, put down the cup and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Zheng finally couldn't hold back and said, "You are angry."
