Indeed, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles.

Who would have thought that the dignified Third Master of the Fu family would actually be such a drama queen?

With so many employees watching, Jiang Zao had no choice but to cooperate.

"Okay, let's go eat first. What does Aci want to eat?" The tone of coaxing a child came out naturally.

Even she herself didn't expect it.

Fu Yanci was overjoyed.

But he never expected that the meal would be packed up and taken to Zheng Xiao's house.

Jiang Zao's reason was: "I haven't seen Xiaoxiao in a long time. She's having severe withdrawal symptoms right now, and I'm worried about her."

How long?

Didn't we just see each other a couple of days ago?

Fu Yanci felt a tightness in his chest.

But they dared not say anything.

Otherwise, my wife will definitely be unhappy.

This is a sense of crisis from a husband in a marriage of convenience.

Lu Li had originally planned to cook, but now it was easier. She simply laid out a disposable tablecloth, arranged all the food that Jiang Zao had brought, and the four of them could start eating.

Zheng Xiao has a poor appetite.

Since she started quitting drinking, she hasn't had much of an appetite.

It's like they have anorexia.

She leaned lazily against Jiang Zao's chest.

"Honey, that idiot Jiang Jinfeng actually sold me the shares cheaply. Do you think he's lost his mind, or does he hate money?"

Jiang shifted slightly to make Zheng Xiao more comfortable.

“He’s short of money,” Jiang Zao said. “He even mortgaged the Jiang family’s ancestral home to the bank.”

This is the news she just received.

Fu Yanci also received it, so he was not surprised.

Zheng Xiao curled her lips: "Their ancestors for eight generations will definitely come to his bedside tonight. Wasn't Fu Yinhe supposed to be pretty tough? How did she give birth to such a thing!"

She then glanced at Fu Yanci beside her and said, "Isn't it said that nephews resemble their uncles? I wonder if this guy will act the same way when he runs into trouble? If so, honey, you should divorce him right away."

Fu Yanci's eyes widened.

He didn't even care that his wife's embrace was snatched away, and this woman still dared to instigate his wife to divorce him!

"Wife, don't you want me anymore?" Fu Yanci asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

He suddenly realized how great it was to be outside; as long as there were other people around, he could be affectionate with his wife without any restraint.

So, just like before, he pounced on it without any hesitation.

He openly and honestly took over Jiang Zao's other arm.

Lu Li, who had been eating in silence, looked up at Jiang Zao, who was flanked by two women. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it and put several of Zheng Xiao's favorite dishes into her bowl.

“You ate little this morning, so eat more now. You’re getting so thin.”

Zheng Xiao glanced at him, left Jiang Zao's embrace, sat up and ate the remaining food, then leaned back softly and fell back into Jiang Zao's embrace.

Jiang Zao seemed to have known in advance that she would do this, and caught her with one hand, preventing her from bumping or getting hurt.

Fu Yanci glanced at Lu Li with annoyance.

This is a complete mess.

If you like someone, go for it!

After finishing their meal and staying for a while longer to make sure Zheng Xiao was alright, Jiang Zao left with Fu Yanci.

The empty house was once again left with only Zheng Xiao and Lu Li.

Lu Li was folding the washed sheets when he saw Zheng Xiao sprawled on the sofa doing nothing. He casually remarked, "You don't seem to touch any musical instruments lately."

Zheng Xiao rolled over. She was wearing a gray loungewear outfit, her hair was messily grabbed, and her posture was somewhat unladylike, completely destroying her image as a female celebrity.

"No inspiration."

She wanted to drink.

I want to smoke.

I want to go bungee jumping.

Oh shit.

But now she can't do anything.

Frustrated, Zheng Xiao sat up abruptly. "Let's do it."

The bed sheet in Lu Li's hand fell directly to the ground.

"ha?"

Zheng Xiao went straight to take his hand.

The two of them stepped on the freshly washed sheets.

At this point, no one paid any attention to these things.

“Um…we…” Lu Li didn’t know what to say.

They were getting closer and closer to the bedroom.

He finally regained his senses.

"Miss Zheng, let's both calm down." Lu Li pulled Zheng Xiao back.

Zheng Xiao turned her head, and her defiant glance outshone countless girls with exquisite makeup.

This was what Lu Li was thinking at that moment.

But he couldn't say it.

"Am I not pretty?" Zheng Xiao asked.

Lu Li took a deep breath. "You are beautiful and charming, but we shouldn't... You're just having withdrawal symptoms and trying to distract yourself with other things. You'll definitely regret it later."

Zheng Xiao thought this person was too long-winded.

"Are you even a man?"

She pushed Lu Li away, completely losing her composure, and went back to sprawling on the sofa.

Sometimes her eyes are vacant, and her mind seems to be blank, with only those terrible and painful memories constantly eroding her heart.

Lu Li walked over, sat on the floor, and without saying a word, simply stretched out his arm.

Zheng Xiao: What?

She had an attitude of 'Don't bother me'.

Lu Li rolled up his sleeves. "Go ahead and bite me. When Huanhuan first got sick, she would bite me when she was in pain, so that she could get through it better."

Zheng Xiao is not one to be polite.

Without saying a word, it opened its mouth and bit.

Lu Li frowned slightly, but didn't move, letting her bite him.

Even if it hurts a lot.

Even if blood has already been drawn.

He seemed oblivious to the pain, reaching out with his other hand to pat Zheng Xiao's head.

"If you're feeling too bad, just say it. No one will laugh at you. You're already very strong."
