Chapter 49 Is it appropriate to do it in front of my husband?
However, Shen Li did not have the strong feelings or reaction to Lu Yanchuan's words that she had imagined.
If it were the old her, hearing these words might have caused a great deal of emotional turmoil, but now...
It was just a very brief moment of surprise, nothing more.
He didn't even respond to those words. Things had already come to this point, and whether or not he responded was no longer that important.
Moreover, these five years of marriage have made Shen Li realize that sometimes, your voice is simply not important to some people.
That's normal; not everyone has to pay attention to you.
So, just talk more to those who are willing to listen to you, and less or nothing to those who are unwilling to listen to you.
The food was delicious, and the emotional value it provided was more than enough. Therefore, the conversation with Lu Yanchuan did not affect Shen Li's emotions at all.
Even the feelings she had been affected by his forceful kiss were gradually being soothed.
Not long after the meal, we set off for the airport.
The Gulfstream business jet was already waiting on the tarmac.
Before boarding, Shen Li asked, "Isn't Xin Yang coming back with us?"
Lu Yanchuan stood to the side, looking listless, clearly still feeling unwell due to his allergy; the atmosphere was rather tense.
Hearing Shen Li's words, he glanced at her with a cool look.
"You seem to care quite a bit about other men." The voice sounded like a hum, but it didn't sound like anger; it sounded more like... awkwardness. "Mrs. Lu, do you think it's appropriate to act like this in front of your husband?"
"..." Shen Li looked at him speechlessly.
She stretched out her hand, palm open in front of Lu Yanchuan.
Lu Yanchuan frowned as he looked at her pale palm, paused for two seconds, and then took her hand in his.
Shen Li paused, withdrew her hand, and then stretched it out again, "Let me see the medicine you took."
"What?" Lu Yanchuan looked at her, his gaze filled with confusion and displeasure.
He was puzzled because he didn't know why she was looking at his medicine, and he was displeased... Who knows? Maybe it was because Shen Li withdrew his hand?
"Let's see if you've taken fake medicine," Shen Li said.
Lu Yanchuan then realized the mockery in her words and glared at her.
She simply quickened her pace up the gangway, like a child running away after doing something naughty.
Lu Yanchuan saw a fleeting sly smile in her eyes, a smile that was both playful and adorable.
Lu Yanchuan had never seen her like this before; he couldn't recall any such scene or such a lively expression.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that only she is always quiet and docile in front of him, and always awkward and cautious at the Lu family.
So this is how she can be, playful like a child.
When Lu Yanchuan entered the cabin, Shen Li was already sitting in a high-end seat, with a U-shaped pillow around her neck, looking down at her phone.
Qu Xiang sent her a message asking when her flight was, saying she would come to pick her up.
Shen Li realized that the plane was about to take off and she needed to shut it down. If she told Qu Xiang now that she was taking Lu Yanchuan's plane back to Jiangcheng, she wouldn't have enough time to explain and would also worry Qu Xiang.
I simply sent the airport and arrival time, then turned off my phone, deciding to talk more once we met.
Lu Yanchuan sat down in the high-end leather chair next to her.
A two-hour flight is neither a long nor a short time.
Shen Li was initially worried that it would be awkward if the topic of divorce came up again.
But Lu Yanchuan was clearly exhausted.
Before the plane even took off, he had already fastened his seatbelt, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes.
As the plane accelerated violently during its taxiing before takeoff, he only opened his eyelids slightly to glance at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window.
Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Shen Li didn't think she had ever seen him look so tired and haggard.
That handsome face, which was usually so spirited, cold, and noble, was now sickly pale, with a light shadow under his eyes and a patch of bluish stubble on his chin.
It's rare to see someone look so haggard and tired, let alone the fact that it seems like it's because of a fight with her that he ended up like this.
Shen Liguang thought about it and it seemed even more fantastical.
After the plane stabilized, the flight attendants came over to ask if they needed anything.
Shen Li raised her index finger to her lips and made a shushing gesture.
The flight attendant smiled gently and mouthed, "Is there anything you need?"
Shen Li pondered for a moment, "A blanket."
Soon, the blanket was delivered. Shen Li unfolded the dark blue blanket and very gently covered Lu Yanchuan with it.
Shen Li wasn't sleepy at all, so she opened the drawing software on her tablet and continued to refine the design of her work.
The cabin was quiet, and Zhou Yan was working quietly in the back seat.
The constant, barely audible sound of the aircraft engine seemed like white noise during the work, with the occasional faint sound of a capacitive stylus touching the tablet screen.
In this atmosphere, the passage of time seems to have a blurred, softly glowing trajectory.
Shen Li didn't know how long she had been focused on drawing until a hoarse voice drifted lazily over from the side and into her ear.
"What...what kind of jar is this? Why is it all crooked and twisted?"
Shen Li was drawing very intently, so she was startled by the sudden sound!
Her consciousness had already realized that it was Lu Yanchuan's voice, but her body reacted even faster.
Shen Li turned her head sharply and met Lu Yanchuan, who was leaning over and tilting his head next to her.
Lu Yanchuan only slept for an hour. He had a hard time sleeping on the plane. He woke up after he recovered from his most tired period.
Her face was no longer as tired as before, and her eyes still held a hint of sleepiness from just waking up, giving her a languid and carefree charm.
The two were so close that their breaths almost mingled.
It has to be said that Lu Yanchuan's face is a big plus.
Even though they had already decided to divorce, the sight of her beauty up close still made Shen Li's heart race, much to her shame.
She blinked quickly to calm her racing heart.
But Lu Yanchuan didn't seem uncomfortable with the distance. Meeting her bewildered gaze, he asked again, "...A tea canister?"
"It's just for show," Shen Li replied, then locked the tablet. "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
"I can't sleep well on the plane." Lu Yanchuan stretched out a big yawn. "And I still have work to do after being delayed for the past few days."
His height of nearly 1.9 meters made him appear very tall and slender as he stretched his arms and legs, especially his legs, which were incredibly long.
Lu Yanchuan turned to look at Zhou Yan, "Is everything ready?"
Zhou Yan walked up and placed the tablet and various documents on the table in front of Lu Yanchuan. "It's all organized. These are the materials for your meeting later, as well as some contracts and documents that need to be reviewed as soon as possible."
Lu Yanchuan sighed almost inaudibly, "Get me a cup of coffee."
“Okay.” Zhou Yan nodded and first brought up several spreadsheets on the tablet. “The investigation results for the previous cutter head accident at the factory are also available.”
