As the cannon fodder ex-wife, Madam Lu, her only desire is to wait for her husband to kick the bucket so she can partition the assets. However, her persona as a devoted lover cannot falter.
...
Bai Jingyi was about to scold her daughter-in-law when she heard her son say something that made her freeze in shock.
When did her son become so close to this arrogant and domineering woman?
This made her think she had misheard.
But having weathered many storms, she quickly regained her composure.
So he changed the subject, saying, "Jinghuai, you didn't go to the company today?"
Lu Jinghuai rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired, and said, "Yeah, I haven't gone yet. I'll go once I'm all ready."
The mother and son exchanged a few more pleasantries. Bai Jingyi didn't want to say much about Shen Wenran in front of her son, so she could only think about giving him a proper talking-to when they met again.
Lu Jinghuai hung up the phone and tossed it to Shen Wenran.
Just as he finished dressing and was about to get out of bed, he suddenly remembered that he still needed to use a wheelchair.
He leaned back against the headboard and gave instructions to Shen Wenran.
"Bring me the wheelchair and help me up; I need to go to the company."
Shen Wenran glanced at Lu Jinghuai.
She's increasingly suspecting that this scoundrel is just faking it.
Her suspicious gaze met Lu Jinghuai's, and she quickly looked away.
Damn it, this bastard's looks really affect people's judgment.
—You were so quick and stylish getting dressed just now, and now you're acting like you can't take care of yourself? Are you kidding me?
Lu Jinghuai realized he had given himself away slightly, so he coughed lightly and said, "The rehabilitation training seems to be working. I can feel my legs again."
Shen Wenran didn't know what to say, but she still forced a smile.
"Wow, really? That's wonderful!"
"Honey, I really want to see how you walk, you must look so incredibly handsome!"
"Honey, don't worry, I'm going to the restroom and I'll be right back to get you the wheelchair."
—Pshaw, the wheelchair is right at the foot of the bed, just centimeters away from you.
—I don't believe you can't move without Assistant Zhang?
She went to the restroom, took out her phone and sent a message to Assistant Zhang: "Your boss is awake."
After sending the message, Shen Wenran washed her face and brushed her teeth before slowly walking out.
Looking at Lu Jinghuai on the bed, she felt a little curious.
—Does this guy not take the toilet with him when he gets up?
—Hmm, maybe it's better not to go. I just sent a message to Assistant Zhang, hoping he can come as soon as possible.
—Oh my god, I didn't notice this detail before, but now that I think about it…
—Was Assistant Zhang helping his boss to the restroom? Plus, he's attracted to men, tsk tsk tsk, this scoundrel is really quite the womanizer.
As Shen Wenran thought about it, her face flushed.
She patted her cheeks to try and stop thinking about those messy things.
Lu Jinghuai, who was imagined by Shen Wenran to be helped to the toilet by Assistant Zhang, fell silent again.
He suddenly felt an urge to stand up.
He was only tormenting himself by pretending to be in a vegetative state.
Assistant Zhang, who had been waiting downstairs at the villa for his boss to wake up, rushed over immediately upon receiving the message from Mrs. Lu.
On Lu Jinghuai's side, Assistant Zhang helped serve tea and water, while Shen Wenran sat in front of the dressing mirror to put on makeup.
"Honey, now that Assistant Zhang is here to help you, I'll get ready and do my makeup. We still have a few scenes to film today."
Today is a super happy day. I got to meet some handsome young men this afternoon, including a junior brother who has a crush on the female lead.
—Most importantly, there are also kissing scenes.
—As for that scoundrel, he'd be super happy to have Assistant Zhang dress him up, right?
Kissing scene?
Young and handsome?
He's happy for no reason.
Lu Jinghuai's expression was becoming terrifying at a visible speed.
This made Assistant Zhang, who had just tied his tie, tense up completely.
He asked cautiously, "Mr. Lu, is it too tight?"
Lu Jinghuai didn't speak, but his actions answered everything.
He roughly yanked off his tie and threw it on the bed.
Assistant Zhang's heart immediately jumped into his throat.
Just as he was about to apologize, Lu Jinghuai said, "It's nothing."
Shen Wenran also sensed Lu Jinghuai's unhappiness.
—Could it be that because I'm here, that jerk thinks he's a third wheel?
—Ah, men, always wanting more than they have.
She continued in a soft voice, "Honey, I've finished tidying up here. I might not be back until very late. Don't worry about me, honey. I'll miss you a lot."
—Alright, I've been working long hours, have I given you enough time?
Lu Jinghuai almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What did he do to make this woman misunderstand him like this?
"Honey, I'm leaving now, bye-bye, I'll miss you."
Shen Wenran stood up, hung up her bag, blew him a kiss, and ran faster than a rabbit.
Lu Jinghuai's gaze remained fixed on the empty doorway, frightening Assistant Zhang into remaining silent.
After a long pause, Assistant Zhang cautiously reminded him, "Boss?"
Lu Jinghuai got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.
"We're going to the film studio later."
Assistant Zhang: "???"
"Okay, boss."
After finishing packing, Lu Jinghuai barely had time to eat breakfast.
Because she saw the breakfast that the maid had placed on the table, Shen Wenran didn't touch it at all.
The thought of that woman rushing to the film set just to see some young heartthrob gave him a heart attack.
Assistant Zhang was driving, feeling constantly uneasy.
