Chapter 25 Manta Rose This is Xia Weiwei's first time taking the initiative...
The room was dark and gloomy. The girl was curled up on the bed, covering herself with the blanket, and tears were streaming down her face.
How far must I concede to achieve even a moment of peace?
I absolutely do not want to argue with anyone, no matter who it is.
I don't ask for my parents' love, but can they please stop taking advantage of me?
I wish I had died young, or that I had died in the womb.
The last sentence Lu Yanzhou saw before turning off his phone was this sentence. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if all the blood in his body had been drained away.
[File Transfer Assistant: Please, you must survive. It's not worth shedding tears for anyone, it's not worth compromising for anyone. Your own feelings come first.]
Xia Weiwei was so confused from crying that she didn't even know what she had sent to the file transfer assistant. She sent whatever came to mind, her words were illogical and everything was a mess.
Did the file transfer assistant reply to her?
The crisp sound of the phone was like heavenly music, giving her a response during her lonely and dark time.
【Really? 】
Am I worthy?
[File Transfer Assistant: Of course it's worth it! You are a dazzling princess and a self-sufficient queen.]
[File Transfer Assistant: You're the best in the world!]
Xia Weiwei's eyes brightened, then she slumped down again.
After finishing the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen, Gu Yousheng went out for a social engagement. When he saw her return home, he didn't even glance at her.
She was used to it, but Gu Yousheng returned with a smile and said he would take her out to eat.
She can't forget how happy she was then.
Gu Yousheng finally had eyes for her.
At the dinner table, she was seated between two men who were even older than Gu Yousheng. The men's eyes were so shallow that she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
During this time, she tried to leave several times, but Gu Yousheng made her sit down. Finally, the man on her left couldn't help but place his hand on her thigh, and she stood up abruptly.
"Why such a big reaction? Want to spend some time with Boss Zhang tonight?"
Xia Weiwei flinched as the man's hand landed on her buttocks, causing her to jump away.
"Mr. Zhang, let's get together tonight."
They discussed it as if she had already acquiesced.
She was eighteen, not eight, and certainly not three. She understood what the man meant. She looked at Gu Yousheng, who smiled, not thinking anything of it. He even thoughtfully booked a room for them and asked about the contract.
That was the first time I experienced Gu Yousheng's disgusting nature.
She didn't let Gu Yousheng have his way, and Gu Yousheng probably didn't expect her to run away.
She went to South Korea to become a trainee and was unexpectedly selected as a member of a girl group. Three months of hard training helped her forget the terrible experiences she had experienced outside. However, on September 3rd, when Jingbei University started its semester, she thought about it and still chose her studies, resolutely returning to Beijing.
From then on, she never went back to the Gu family again. Gu Yousheng knew she needed tuition fees, so he deliberately didn't contact her, just waiting for her to surrender.
Fortunately, during her time in Korea, she earned some money and worked part-time after starting school, which allowed her to barely take care of herself.
The turning point in her life came during the summer break of her sophomore year. She was working part-time at a coffee shop when a director named Cat gave her his business card, hoping she could play the female lead in his latest campus drama.
She had no prior experience in acting, but Gu Yousheng owned an entertainment company, and she had witnessed actors taking classes. In addition, the fee the cat offered was ten times what she earned working part-time at the coffee shop, so there was no reason for her not to accept it.
She's just an ordinary person, what does she have to be afraid of?
Moreover, the female protagonist in campus novels has a suffocating family, which is practically hers to handle.
She spent that summer filming this TV series.
Released in October, it became a phenomenal hit, something no one expected. It was at this time that Gu Yousheng had Li Xue find him.
Xia Weiwei didn't want to sign a contract with Gu Yousheng. She wanted to find Gu Yousheng's rival, but Gu Yousheng somehow got her ID card and refused to release her.
However, at this time, her value to Gu Yousheng far exceeded that of Gu Qianyue. In addition, Director Mao had arranged for her to play the female lead in a second campus novel, and she urgently needed support from the entertainment company.
This is how her collaboration with Gu Yousheng began.
For the next five years, she was like a puppet, doing whatever Gu Yousheng pointed at.
How annoying! I don't like anyone!
Xia Weiwei buried herself even deeper under the covers, but then she suddenly remembered that she had a baby in her belly and couldn't curl up. She frantically lay flat on her back.
No, I can't hear the baby's voice at all.
Xia Weiwei looked at her belly, which showed no signs of movement; the baby seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Xia Weiwei's pupils went unfocused. She pulled back the covers and ran barefoot outside, but the bedroom door wouldn't open no matter how hard she tried.
don't want!
She needs to see a doctor!
She had to save her baby!
Lu Yanzhou, our baby has stopped making a sound!
Lu Yanzhou!
"Ah Yue, I'm here, I'm here."
In the midst of the chaos, a pair of large, warm hands grabbed hers, and a warm current pressed against her icy back, immersing her in warmth.
Xia Weiwei opened her eyes, and Lu Yanzhou's face was blurry in front of her.
How did she see Lu Yanzhou?
Keep dreaming.
Lu Yanzhou was still in Edinburgh at this time.
"Honey, it's me, your husband is back."
Lu Yanzhou took her hand and brought it to his cheek.
Just as intense as in my dream.
Still dreaming.
Xia Weiwei still didn't believe it. Thinking of her baby, she became emotional and asked Lu Yanzhou to save their baby. She was held tightly by Lu Yanzhou, and her eyes finally focused.
“It really is me, Lu Yanzhou.”
"Ah Yue, our baby is fine. You've protected it very well."
"Ah Yue, I'm back."
Xia Weiwei broke out in a cold sweat. Lu Yanzhou picked her up and used his body heat to drive away the fear.
It really is Lu Yanzhou.
Xia Weiwei found it unbelievable.
She pushed Lu Yanzhou a little, but he didn't budge, so she let him hold her.
"Why are you back? Weren't you supposed to be back the day after tomorrow?" Her voice was extremely dry. Lu Yanzhou glanced at her and handed her a glass of warm water to drink.
"If I don't come back, my home will be gone."
Seven days later, she smelled bergamot and bitter orange again, a warm and free scent. Her body felt nourished by the warm water, and she felt energized.
Xia Weiwei buried her face in Lu Yanzhou's arms, inhaling his scent.
A very calming atmosphere.
"Would you like to eat something?" Lu Yanzhou asked.
"I want to eat your cooking."
Lu Yanzhou kissed her forehead and said it was no problem.
Lu Yanzhou got up to cook, and Xia Weiwei subconsciously reached for Lu Yanzhou's sleeve, but failed to grab it. A part of her heart suddenly collapsed.
Her lips moved, trying to speak but no sound came out, and Lu Yanzhou was getting further and further away from her.
She stared blankly at him, and then Lu Yanzhou walked back.
“I was only away on a business trip for a few days, and when I came back my wife was like this. I only feel at ease when you are right under my nose.”
Lu Yanzhou picked her up and placed her at the kitchen doorway.
Lu Yanzhou appeared in the kitchen for the first time wearing a white shirt and black suit pants.
Long, slender fingers pressed down on the bright green celery, and with a clang of the knife, each two-centimeter-long celery piece was cut out in no time.
Wow, is Lu Yanzhou's eye a ruler?!
Xia Weiwei was surprised.
The celery needs to be boiled in hot water for a minute and a half first. Xia Weiwei got up to help Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou grabbed her by the back of her collar.
"do what?"
"I'll cook some celery for you."
“Gu Xianyue, you are the mistress of this house. The mistress does not need to do housework.”
Lu Yanzhou pressed her back onto his small stool.
"Then what am I doing in this house?"
“Exploit me.”
Lu Yanzhou poked his head out from the kitchen and bent down to look her in the eye.
She's always been the one being exploited; this is the first time she's heard of someone asking her to exploit them.
Xia Weiwei felt a sense of novelty mixed with a touch of sweetness.
She smiled slowly, and Lu Yanzhou got up and closed the glass door to the kitchen.
"Don't come in again, or you'll get the smell."
Lu Yanzhou gave another instruction, took the celery out of the hot water, turned on the range hood, and put in the meat.
He was the one who was affected by the smoke.
Xia Weiwei stared at Lu Yanzhou's busy figure in the kitchen, listening to the clattering of spatulas and pots, and the crumbling in her heart was gradually filled.
Lu Yanzhou quickly prepared three dishes and a soup.
Xia Weiwei did not walk towards the dining table, but followed behind Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou noticed that she was following him, so he stopped and looked back. Xia Weiwei also stopped.
"Baby?" Xia Weiwei pointed to her belly.
“The baby is fine. If you’re really worried, I’ll go to the hospital with you after we finish eating.”
Xia Weiwei nodded, and Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment before pulling her to wash her hands.
The food Lu Yanzhou cooked had a taste of happiness in it. As Xia Weiwei ate, she felt a surge of energy, and her mind gradually returned to its rational state.
She cried herself to exhaustion at home and unknowingly had a nightmare. The dream was bizarre and fantastical, spanning from when she was eighteen to twenty-five. She was unable to save herself until Lu Yanzhou rushed back and woke her up.
I wonder if Lu Yanzhou saw how ugly she looked.
Xia Weiwei was eating, and Lu Yanzhou kept adding food to her bowl.
After a long while, she noticed that the rice in her bowl hadn't gone down, and she felt a sense of indigestion coming on.
Xia Weiwei ate slowly, taking one bite after another.
"Honey, are you trying to feed me until I have indigestion?" Xia Weiwei suddenly realized that Lu Yanzhou was thoughtful and knew her appetite, so he wouldn't keep feeding her.
Lu Yanzhou smiled faintly: "How could that be?"
"Are you full?" Lu Yanzhou asked her before she could speak.
Xia Weiwei nodded.
"Don't eat anymore if you're full."
Lu Yanzhou collected her bowl and chopsticks, and then stopped eating himself.
"Have you eaten enough?" Xia Weiwei asked worriedly.
Lu Yanzhou rubbed her head and said he wasn't hungry.
Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Xia Weiwei thought it was Xiaoya, but when she opened the door, it was her attending physician.
"Aren't you worried about the baby in your belly? I'll call the doctor over to take a look at you."
During the female doctor's examination, Lu Yanzhou stared intently at her stethoscope.
"Can it hear the baby's heartbeat?"
The female doctor nodded. Lu Yanzhou's gaze was deep and thoughtful. Xia Weiwei looked at Lu Yanzhou's pensive expression and felt that he was about to buy the stethoscope from the attending physician's hand at any moment.
That can't be right.
"Madam, listen." After accurately detecting the fetal heartbeat, the female doctor removed one of her ears and gave it to Xia Weiwei.
Xia Weiwei's heart tightened instantly, and she focused her mind and calmed herself.
Thump—
Knock knock—
There really is a sound!
And he's very strong!
Xia Weiwei's dull, watery eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Yanzhou with surprise, her expression saying, "Our baby is safe and sound!"
Lu Yanzhou smiled along; his wife had finally regained her energy.
He gently patted Xia Weiwei's head and sat down next to her. The female doctor then gave Lu Yanzhou her other stethoscope ear.
Three people, listening to the beating of the same heart.
Xia Weiwei finally felt relieved.
After the doctor finished the consultation, he told Xia Weiwei to keep a good mood and not to worry.
Xia Weiwei nodded. She had come to her senses. Li Xue's life or death was no longer her concern. From now on, she would only care about herself, prioritize the baby in her womb, and...
Xia Weiwei glanced quickly at Lu Yanzhou, whose gaze was still fixed on the attending physician's stethoscope. Was he still eyeing the stethoscope?
Xia Weiwei went to see the attending physician off. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief after the attending physician changed his shoes, she heard Lu Yanzhou's arrogant tone.
"How much is your stethoscope? Name your price, I'll buy it."
The attending physician looked troubled; it was just an ordinary stethoscope, not worth much money.
"Fifty thousand, is that enough?"
Attending physician: "..."
"What about 100,000?"
Xia Weiwei: "..."
He's really burning money!
Xia Weiwei tugged at Lu Yanzhou's shirt, signaling him to cross.
Lu Yanzhou looked at her, and Xia Weiwei thought that Lu Yanzhou knew to restrain himself. The next second, she heard Lu Yanzhou quote 150,000.
Faced with a choice between morality and 150,000, the attending physician did not hesitate to choose 150,000.
Lu Yanzhou immediately transferred 150,000 yuan to obtain a stethoscope.
Xia Weiwei couldn't hold back her smile. As soon as the attending physician left, she was about to scold Lu Yanzhou for spending his money like that, no matter how rich he was. Then she saw the man with a big dog, holding up a stethoscope and showing it off to her.
"Honey, with this, you can hear the baby's heartbeat anytime, so you'll never have to be afraid of losing the baby again."
Lu Yanzhou, he...
Lu Yanzhou smiled gently, and Xia Weiwei's heart pounded.
What should I do? She's losing control of herself.
Xia Weiwei lost control and threw herself into Lu Yanzhou's arms. Lu Yanzhou caught her steadily and said smugly, "Wife, did you just lose control?"
"See? I told you, no one can help but love me, Lu Yanzhou."
Too arrogant.
That "annoying" side of her is back!
Xia Weiwei withdrew from his chest, and Lu Yanzhou placed the stethoscope on her stomach.
"Honey, it's our baby."
Xia Weiwei recalled the doctor play he did when he applied pregnancy oil to her; and sure enough, he actually managed to get her to use a real "stethoscope."
Xia Weiwei had taken such a long nap at noon, and after being fed by Lu Yanzhou, she was basking in the sun and suddenly felt sleepy again, her head drooping uncontrollably.
"Go to sleep if you're tired. I've already told the crew."
As Xia Weiwei drooped down again, Lu Yanzhou held her head up with his hand.
She looked over and saw Lu Yanzhou standing in the light.
"Lu Yanzhou, has anyone ever told you that you feel warm all over, like a dog running in the sunshine?"
Lu Yanzhou gave a forced smile: "Besides you, no one dares to say I'm like a dog."
Is that so? Xia Weiwei could no longer hold back her eyelids and fell into Lu Yanzhou's arms.
"Tell me before you pounce on me next time."
Lu Yanzhou's dissatisfied yet anxious voice rang in her ears. Xia Weiwei smiled; even if she didn't say anything, Lu Yanzhou could still catch her steadily.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Linlang and Xiaoya arrived at the house.
"Ah Yue just fell asleep. You guys keep an eye on things for me while I go take care of some things."
Jiang Linlang heard the whole story from Xiaoya, and while Weiwei was hiding, she also received a call from Lu Yanzhou, asking her to look after Weiwei for a while.
As soon as Xia Weiwei got home, she locked the bedroom door from the inside. They were worried that they wouldn't be able to get in. It was Lu Yanzhou who came back and immediately called a locksmith to unlock it.
Jiang Linlang still remembers the bone-chilling cold she felt when she entered the room.
The girl was pulled out of the blanket, her face covered in what appeared to be tears or cold sweat, muttering in her sleep.
Lu Yanzhou pulled the girl into his arms.
Jiang Linlang and Xiaoya tactfully left the room.
Three hours had passed since Lu Yanzhou found him again.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely take care of A-Yue until you come back." Jiang Linlang had a feeling that Lu Yanzhou was going to do something big.
Xiaoya echoed Jiang Linlang, nodding frantically.
"Then, I'm entrusting A-Yue to you. I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Lu Yanzhou glanced at the girl on the bed one last time before leaving.
For the first time, Xiaoya truly felt that Lu Yanzhou and Xia Weiwei were a family and a couple.
...
In Li Xue's hospital room, Li Xue was still complaining to Gu Yousheng about how infuriating Xia Weiwei was and how she didn't respect her.
"I even threatened her with my life, but she still wouldn't budge. How did I raise such an ungrateful wretch!"
Li Xue became increasingly angry as she spoke, her eyes rolling back incessantly.
"You've suffered this time. Something came up, but I'll call you when I'm done."
Gu Yousheng hung up decisively. Li Xue hadn't even had a chance to stop him before she could stare at the black screen of her phone. What was that all about?
Her dissatisfaction intensified, and she found the caregiver even more disagreeable. With a bang, she smashed the glass on the ground and arrogantly told the caregiver to come and pick it up.
"If you slipped and fell, you should pick it up yourself."
A man's burly voice burst in, and Li Xue looked in the direction of the voice, first seeing several burly men, which made her heart tighten.
"Who are you people!" Li Xue cried out, shrinking back into the bedside in fright. "Robbers! Help!"
She called out several times, but no one answered. The caregiver was so frightened that she ran away long ago.
"What exactly do you want?!"
"Do you even know that my daughter is a big star!"
"If you hurt me, my daughter will not let you get away with it!"
After shouting a few times and finding it useless, Li Xue pretended to be calm and tried to negotiate with them.
"Of course I know your daughter is a big star."
Li Xue heard a familiar voice, and the bodyguards tactfully recognized the road leading to Lu Yanzhou, who was dressed in all black. He had a smile on his face, but a cold and menacing aura about him.
It's Lu Yanzhou, her son-in-law.
Li Xue tried to ignore the menacing aura and asked with a smile, "You've returned to China?"
"If I don't go back to China soon, my wife will be bullied to death by you."
Feeling guilty, Li Xue didn't respond to Lu Yanzhou's words. Lu Yanzhou didn't stand on ceremony with her either, and waved his hand, sending two bodyguards to restrain her.
“I’m Yue’s mother, you can’t do this, Yue will…”
“Ah Yue said she’s severing her mother-daughter relationship with you.”
Li Xue's hand was held by the bodyguard, and her finger pressed on the red stamp before being placed on the contract.
"What did you make me sign?!"
"Agreement to sever mother-daughter relationship".
Li Xue's pupils dilated, a wave of fear washing over her: "What right do you have...?"
"Because I'm Gu Xianyue's husband now!"
"Do you know how much effort I've put into raising her all this time?!"
"You fucking made all those days of my work go to waste with just a few words from you!"
You deserve to die!
Lu Yanzhou was furious. Li Xue finally understood that Lu Yanzhou was serious! Lu Yanzhou had come to seek justice for Xia Weiwei!
Lu Yanzhou grabbed her neck, wishing he could strangle her to death.
When she was struggling to breathe, Lu Yanzhou let go of her hand again.
“From now on, you will never appear in front of A-Yue again.”
These words sealed her fate and led to her death.
Li Xue tried to shout again, but her mouth was covered. She writhed on the bed like a maggot, her pupils almost bursting. She could only watch Lu Yanzhou leave and the door close completely.
Lu Yanzhou swaggered into Gu Yousheng's office at Shangxing Entertainment.
“Ah…” Gu Yousheng subconsciously wanted to call out “Ah Zhou”, but noticing that Lu Yanzhou’s smile was off, he respectfully called out “President Lu”.
Lu Yanzhou nodded and sat down directly in Gu Yousheng's boss chair.
Gu Yousheng's assistant was dumbfounded as he watched Lu Yanzhou barge into the room. Lu Yanzhou was too arrogant!
This is still someone else's territory.
Gu Yousheng's assistant was unaware of Xia Weiwei's marriage to Lu Yanzhou. He gave his assistant a wink, and just as the assistant was about to leave the office, Lu Yanzhou spoke up: "Stay and listen together."
The assistant looked at Gu Yousheng again, but Gu Yousheng still wanted the assistant to leave.
"What, am I someone who's shameful?"
"How could that be!" Gu Yousheng said with a forced smile, asking his assistant to stay.
"I came here mainly to inform Dad that A-Yue will be responsible for all her future gigs. She can accept them if she wants, or not if she doesn't."
Lu Yanzhou didn't even leave Gu Yousheng with a shred of dignity.
Gu Yousheng was seething with anger, but dared not retaliate.
If he utters a single word of no, Lu Yanzhou can have him carried out, even if it's his office.
"certainly."
"Then you can draft the contract now."
“We need A-Yue’s agent to be here.” Gu Yousheng knew that Xia Weiwei had argued with Li Xue at noon, and Liang Yun should be with Xia Weiwei now, not at the company.
Moreover, Lu Yanzhou is now Xia Weiwei's legal husband, and he can sign contracts on Xia Weiwei's behalf. He said this to delay the process.
"Liang Yun, come in." Lu Yanzhou nodded, as if he had anticipated his actions.
"Mr. Lu, you wanted to see me."
Gu Yousheng looked at Liang Yun, feeling nauseous as if he had swallowed a fly, but he had to endure it.
"Mr. Gu, aren't you going to draft the contract yet?"
Having no other option, Gu Yousheng called in his legal team.
"There's another clause: for every endorsement and every film Xia Weiwei stars in, the endorsement fee and film remuneration belong to Xia Weiwei herself, and Shangxing Entertainment will pay the taxes that Xia Weiwei needs to pay."
Then what does he need Xia Weiwei for?
"What, Mr. Gu doesn't agree?"
“I have already sent Li Xue abroad. You will never see Li Xue again in this lifetime. If President Gu also wants to go abroad, sending one or two is the same as sending two.”
Gu Yousheng was horrified. Looking at Lu Yanzhou's smile, he felt that the smile was sinister and terrifying.
Everyone says that the Lu family's heir in Hong Kong has the right to be arrogant, and he certainly lives up to that reputation.
“Write it down. Mr. Lu, you can add any conditions you want.”
Lu Yanzhou nodded reluctantly, and Liang Yun added the clauses one by one, resulting in a new business contract.
"By the way, how is your youngest daughter, Gu Qianyue, doing in her confinement?"
Gu Yousheng had no idea what Lu Yanzhou was up to. He was trying to figure out what to say, but Lu Yanzhou didn't give him any patience.
"Seeing President Gu like this, I am really worried. I have already sent someone to pick up Gu Qianyue, and she will be returned as scheduled in a month."
"Mr. Lu, what are you doing?" Gu Yousheng asked anxiously, but his momentum dissipated when he met Lu Yanzhou's cold gaze.
"It's nothing, my wife is too kind, I can't stand it."
"What, Mr. Gu, are you going to stop me?"
Gu Yousheng looked frustrated. His other secretary knocked on the door and said that Shangxing Entertainment's stock had fallen.
Gu Yousheng suddenly looked at Lu Yanzhou.
"Do you like the gift I gave to your father-in-law?"
Faced with absolute power, Gu Yousheng knew how weak he was.
"If you like her, neither her mother nor I have any objections to taking Gu Qianyue away."
The contract was drafted, and Liang Yun and Gu Yousheng signed it respectively. Lu Yanzhou took the contract back and had Xia Weiwei sign it.
Just when Gu Yousheng thought he could finally get rid of this giant Buddha, it stopped again, and his heart jumped into his throat once more.
"Just so you know, your two business partners, Mr. Zhang You, have just been imprisoned for molesting a minor, and Mr. Li Ke, Mr. Li, have been arrested for [illegible]."
"I suppose it's because my father-in-law didn't get involved in these things?"
Gu Yousheng broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head frantically.
There is no best.
Lu Yanzhou walked out of the office, and he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Gu Yousheng knew perfectly well that Lu Yanzhou was behind Zhang Youli's troubles.
Why did Lu Yanzhou suddenly cause trouble for Zhang Youlike? He thought back carefully and suddenly remembered that summer after Xia Weiwei finished her college entrance examination, Zhang Youlike almost slept with Xia Weiwei.
Lu Yanzhou was standing up for Xia Weiwei.
He hurriedly turned on his phone; he needed to confirm one more thing: whether Zhou Yuan was in trouble.
He scrolled through the trending topics, and Zhou Yuan was exposed for bullying classmates in high school and her family for tax evasion.
Zhou Yuan's career in the entertainment industry is over.
Lu Yanzhou dealt with everyone who had bullied Xia Weiwei.
Xia Weiwei woke up and played cards with Jiang Linlang and Xiaoya. During the game, she accidentally looked at her phone and saw that Zhou Yuan had an accident.
Xiaoya: "She deserves it! What goes around comes around. Let her bully our Weiwei!"
Jiang Linlang was confused, so Xiaoya told her about the variety show recording that night.
Xia Weiwei didn't take the matter to heart, but wondered what Lu Yanzhou was busy with when he went out.
She was playing cards with Jiang Linlang and Xiaoya when she received a package. When she checked her phone again, she saw the news that Zhang Youlike had an accident.
She felt a jolt.
She will never forget Zhang Youlike's face.
She tried to suppress her fear. After a while, Lu Yanzhou returned, and Jiang Linlang and Xiaoya said in unison that they were done playing because they had other things to do.
After seeing them off, Xia Weiwei turned around and handed a contract to herself.
"What's this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Xia Weiwei took it, flipped through it, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This is……
This is!
Xia Weiwei looked at Lu Yanzhou in surprise.
"Did you go to sign the new contract with Gu Yousheng on my behalf?"
"There's no other way. My wife is beautiful and kind-hearted, and I can't bring myself to do it, so I have to do it myself."
So he spent the entire afternoon he was missing on this matter.
"Honey, there's something else I want to tell you."
Xia Weiwei had a feeling that Lu Yanzhou was going to give her another surprise, so she nodded.
Lu Yanzhou was about to speak when he thought for a moment, then picked her up and carried her to the sofa.
He sat down first, then placed Xia Weiwei on his lap.
“I sent Li Xue abroad. At the same time, I also made her sign an agreement to sever her relationship with her mother. From now on, Li Xue will never again try to morally blackmail you.”
Xia Weiwei: "!!!"
"Will you blame me?" Lu Yanzhou asked uncertainly.
He did these things swiftly and decisively, but they were ultimately mother and daughter, and Xia Weiwei was so kind. He didn't know if what he did had met Xia Weiwei's expectations.
The man hung his head, looking a bit like a puppy being scolded by its owner for doing something wrong.
Xia Weiwei thought of the messages she had seen about Zhou Yuan, Li Ke, and Zhang You.
"You were the one who did Zhou Yuan, Li Ke, and Zhang You's dirty work, weren't you?"
Lu Yanzhou nodded and held her hands in his.
"Honey, do you know that you are the most, most, most, most, most wonderful girl in the world?"
"You don't need to feel inferior, and you don't need to doubt yourself!"
"Last time I told you the story of the princess and prince living happily ever after. I was the prince, and you were naturally the princess! Why can't you understand my hint?"
Xia Weiwei: "!!!!"
Her heart was filled with ripples.
"Besides, the wife I, Lu Yanzhou, want to marry must be the best!"
Do you really think I married just anyone?
"Xia Weiwei, you are the best!"
What to do? Her heart is completely filled with this man!
All her emotions were building up inside her, and she desperately needed an outlet.
She pounced on him and kissed Lu Yanzhou's lips.
Lu Yanzhou took a moment to react, then smiled and slowly responded.
The kiss was innocent, just a gentle rub on the lips.
Suddenly, the girl's tongue slipped into his mouth, startling him and sending a chill down his spine.
This was the first time Xia Weiwei had taken the initiative to kiss him with her tongue.
The girl was imitating how he teased her tongue; though her little tongue was clumsy, it gave him an unusually exhilarating, tingling sensation.
At the same time, he slipped his right ring finger into a circle.
It's a ring!
