Chapter 10 Giving Gifts



Lin Xuqiu is listening to an opera with Liu Ruyi, a member of the wives' circle.

Liu Ruyi is one of Lin Xuqiu’s “best friends” in the wives’ circle.

She is the legal wife of Huo Siming, the eldest grandson of the Huo family. She is also a real academic master in the wives' circle. She is highly educated, good-looking, well-educated, and kind. However, because her family status is not prominent, people in the wives' circle do not like to associate with her.

In her previous life, Liu Ruyi was the only person in the wives' circle who did not show any gloating or take advantage of Lin Xuqiu's misfortune after he fell into poverty.

When she met the down-and-out Lin Xuqiu, she did not ridicule or mock him, but provided help.

Lin Xuqiu, who has been reborn, wants to become a true friend with Liu Ruyi because of the kindness in his previous life.

The two listened to the opera attentively.

Lin Xuqiu began to feel sleepy as she listened. Wen Yanci had kept her awake all night last night.

She really admired Wen Yanci, he seemed to have endless energy.

She got up early and had breakfast with the Wen family, then continued to improve her favorability with her mother-in-law. In the afternoon, she was invited by Liu Ruyi to listen to an opera together.

It would be strange if she wasn't sleepy now.

Besides, she doesn't like elegant programs like opera at all.

The entertainment activities in the wives’ circle are really boring, unlike the extravagant and decadent activities of men.

Every move of the wealthy wives is related to the reputation of their husband's family, but they take it for granted that these rich men can spend their money in luxury. This is really hypocritical.

Lin Xuqiu actually envied her brother-in-law Wen Jihuai's life. He had the powerful Wen family behind him and could do what he liked.

Now that I think about it, she is quite similar to Wen Jihuai. She is an average student, likes pop music, and likes instruments such as guitar and drums.

But few people know that she loves singing, playing guitar, and drums, and has even been the lead singer of a band.

When he was in college, Lin Xuqiu secretly joined the school's underground band and became the lead singer.

The craziest time was when she and her band performed in a bar.

But the truth cannot be hidden, she has spies arranged by Luo Hanshuang around her.

Luo Hanshuang soon learned about Lin Xuqiu's rebellious behavior and scolded her. Not only did she smash her guitar herself, she also hired someone to smash all the instruments in the band to pieces.

Lin Xuqiu collapsed and knelt in front of Luo Hanshuang, crying and begging her to tell those people not to smash the instruments anymore, as they were the hard work of everyone in the orchestra.

Luo Hanshuang didn't listen. She did this to completely crush Lin Xuqiu's rebellion and to punish Lin Xuqiu for his disobedience.

In the end, Luo Hanshuang gave some money and had Lin Xuqiu taken away, and then left while the band members endured the anger.

Under Luo Hanshuang's warning and threat, Lin Xuqiu had no choice but to quit the band and was put in solitary confinement.

After the confinement ended, Luo Hanshuang transferred Lin Xuqiu to a women's art college abroad to study painting, and assigned someone to monitor her.

Since childhood, Luo Hanshuang has been teaching Lin Xuqiu ballroom dancing, ballet, classical dance, piano, violin, painting and all the other skills a socialite needs to learn.

Luo Hanshuang wished she could be torn into pieces and learn all her skills.

It’s a pity that because Lin Xuqiu learned too many things, she knew everything but was not good at anything.

It is no exaggeration to say that all of Lin Xuqiu's current titles were created by Luo Hanshuang, with the purpose of making Lin Xuqiu a qualified wealthy socialite.

Now, Lin Xuqiu was wondering what would have happened if the two children had not been swapped.

Luo Hanshuang should be very happy and proud. After all, Lin Xi is so outstanding and a talented painter.

Then Lin Xuqiu could be the youngest daughter of a well-off family, loved by her brother, and her parents would not force her to learn to be a qualified socialite.

Lin Xuqiu never felt that she owed Lin Xi anything. The identity swap was not her intention. Lin Xi also enjoyed the love of Lin Xuqiu's biological parents, and everything she used was exquisite.

After returning to her original family, Lin Xi was loved by both families.

Only Lin Xuqiu is a superfluous existence, an alien who doesn't fit in.

She has complicated feelings towards her mother Luo Hanshuang.

When she was a child, Luo Hanshuang had doted on her, but later Lin Xuqiu did not grow up to be what Luo Hanshuang expected, and the mother and daughter became increasingly distant.

Lin Xuqiu was always jumping back and forth between resistance and compromise. Her parents thought she was being unruly and had no demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Liu Ruyi noticed that Lin Xuqiu next to her looked a little painful.

So she patted the back of Lin Xuqiu's hand.

Lin Xuqiu returned to reality from his memories and smiled politely at Liu Ruyi.

After listening to the opera, the two went shopping together.

Walking into a men's clothing store, you will find that the men's clothing here are all high-end brands and are very valuable.

Liu Ruyi was choosing carefully.

"Xuqiu, do you think this looks good?"

"nice."

"After we got married, I carefully selected all my husband's clothes."

"Mr. Huo is so lucky."

"Xuqiu, aren't you going to choose for your husband?"

"I basically don't care about him. The housekeeper will arrange everything for him."

Lin Xuqiu seldom goes out shopping for clothes. Brands always deliver the latest season's clothes and shoes to her door for her to choose from.

"Xuqiu, you don't understand. Men need to be pampered, too. A family like ours has everything we need, so why shouldn't we buy anything?"

Lin Xuqiu agreed with this statement to some extent, so he nodded.

"Yes, couples should give each other gifts and create little surprises, so that the relationship between husband and wife can be kept fresh for a longer time."

It seemed that Lin Xuqiu had delivered meals to Wen Yanci.

Seeing Lin Xuqiu's confused look, Liu Ruyi chuckled.

"Xuqiu, you are just too young and don't understand many things. I can teach you how to get along with your spouse in the future."

"Thank you, Sister Ruyi."

Because Lin Xuqiu didn't know Wen Yanci's size, he only bought a tie.

After this exchange, Lin Xuqiu and Liu Ruyi became much closer.

*

At night.

Lin Xuqiu showed Wen Yanci the tie she bought.

"I bought this today while shopping with Sister Ruyi. I thought it would suit you."

Wen Yanci glanced at the tie in the box.

His eyes were tender and he looked straight at Lin Xuqiu, full of love and desire.

"Baby, come here and put it on me."

Wen Yanci's voice is sexy and magnetic.

Lin Xuqiu seemed to be bewitched. She approached the man and picked up the tie in the box.

The two of them were very close to each other. Wen Yanci put his hands on Lin Xuqiu's slender waist, which was so thin that it could be held in one hand. The hot temperature was transmitted to the skin of her waist and abdomen through the thin pajamas.

Wen Yanci lowered his head, his breath hitting Lin Xuqiu's face, and her tie-tying technique unconsciously became messy.

After tying his tie, Lin Xuqiu looked up at Wen Yanci.

Their eyes met, and Wen Yanci's eyes were filled with darkness.

As if bewitched, she stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Wen Yanci's neck, raised her head and kissed the man's thin lips.

Wen Yanci responded quickly, the kiss getting deeper and deeper, his tall nose pressed closely against her nose tip, their breaths intertwined.

Tonight is another sleepless night.
