Lu Huan thought about how Yan Rong had always been good to her, and how she would never abandon her if something happened to her.
With that thought in mind, she felt at ease and ate hot pot with Yan Rong.
Lu Huan had promised Gu Zhendong that she would come home for dinner, but it was almost seven o'clock and the two of them still hadn't returned. Gu Zhendong couldn't help but worry that something might have happened to them, such as their car breaking down on the way.
Feeling uneasy, I called her, only to find Lu Huan already happily eating.
When Lu Huan received the call and saw the name, she was so shocked that she choked on the chili oil. She coughed repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked up at Yan Rong with a distress signal.
Yan Rong waved her hand, signaling her to answer quickly and not to be too nervous.
When it comes to the crucial moment, you can't rely on anyone else; you can only rely on yourself.
Why aren't they back yet?
The question was fatal right off the bat. Lu Huan took a sip of water to calm her nerves and replied, "Honey, Mom and I are eating out, so we won't be coming home tonight!"
She had expected Gu Zhendong to get angry, but to her surprise, there was only a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. Gu Zhendong gave a casual "hmm" and then gently told her, "Come back soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Huan was still in a daze and couldn't quite process what was happening.
Yan Rong spoke up and asked, "What did he say?"
Lu Huan snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "He didn't say anything, he just told us to finish our breakfast and come back!"
Her son had the worst temper, and she didn't know who he inherited it from. The older he got, the more afraid Yan Rong became of his fierce appearance.
Hearing that Gu Zhendong didn't say anything, she breathed a sigh of relief. "I told you it was okay, let's continue eating!"
Gu Zhendong didn't seem angry at all. Thinking this, Lu Huan felt relieved and began to eat hot pot with a clearer conscience.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they went back and, unusually, saw Gu Zhendong watching TV in the lobby downstairs.
For some reason, even though Gu Zhendong wasn't angry, Lu Huan's legs inexplicably went weak whenever she saw him.
Suddenly, she didn't want to go in anymore!
Yan Rong stood behind her, understanding Lu Huan's feelings perfectly. She patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, Zhen Dong isn't angry. Besides, if he dares to bully you, just come to me. Mom will back you up!"
I just received a phone call, and Yan Rong was so eager to stay far away that I couldn't wait to get back to her. How could I expect her to stand up for me?
Even if you told me, Lu Huan wouldn't believe it!
Lu Huan chuckled and said thank you, Mom, in a sweet and obedient manner. Yan Rong felt a little guilty for some reason.
Fortunately, Gu Zhendong didn't say anything. After they returned, he casually asked, "What did you have for dinner?"
Actually, you don't need to ask to know what they both ate for dinner.
As soon as Lu Huan leaned closer, Gu Zhendong smelled the strong smell of hot pot on her.
Lu Huan observed Gu Zhendong's facial expression repeatedly. He seemed genuinely not angry, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. "I had hot pot with Mom tonight."
Gu Zhendong smiled gently at Lu Huan, "You smell bad, go upstairs and take a shower!"
Lu Huan felt completely relieved and went upstairs with cheerful steps. She didn't expect Gu Zhendong to be in such a good mood today; he must have something very good to say.
As Lu Huan went upstairs, Gu Zhendong's smile faded, and he looked at his mother with a slight frown.
Yan Rong was all too familiar with her son's expression. Knowing that Gu Zhendong must be angry, she quickly tried to escape, "Haha, it's getting late, I need to go back and get my beauty sleep!"
So all that gentleness he showed before was just an act. As soon as Lu Huan left, he immediately revealed his true colors!
As he walked into the house, he silently prayed for his daughter-in-law, hoping that she wouldn't be too badly scolded by his son tonight!
Lu Huan, who was in her bedroom upstairs, was completely unaware of what was happening and was happily taking a shower in the bathroom.
After a full-body treatment in the afternoon, Lu Huan had to admit that the money was well spent. Her already smooth skin seemed even whiter and smoother, like a peeled egg. Lu Huan herself found it hard to believe.
Money really is a good thing; no wonder rich women are willing to spend huge sums of money to maintain themselves.
After Lu Huan finished showering, she came out of the bathroom and saw Gu Zhendong sitting on the sofa.
Too lazy to use a hairdryer, Lu Huan dried her hair with a towel and walked towards Gu Zhendong. Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to move, she asked, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"
Gu Zhendong smiled and said, "It's not too late to wash it later!"
Even if I take a shower now, I'll still have to shower again later.
Lu Huan was unaware that danger was approaching when her phone rang; it was Guo Yi calling.
Gu Zhendong took the towel from her hand and gently dried her hair. Lu Huan called out, "Mom."
Guo Yi called just to remind Lu Huan to come home for dinner tomorrow.
Time flies, tomorrow will be the 29th of the lunar year.
Fortunately, she had bought the gift when she went out with Yan Rong today. Lu Huan replied, "Mom, we'll go over tomorrow afternoon."
Guo Yi responded and gave some instructions over the phone, also mentioning that Chu Jun would be coming as well.
She didn't hide the phone call from Gu Zhendong, who was sitting next to her drying her hair, so he also heard about Chu Jun's upcoming arrival.
She was a little angry at the moment, after all, Chu Jun was a scheming person. On the surface, he agreed to get engaged to Lu Sangsang, but in reality, he was still keeping a close eye on Lu Huan.
Thinking this, she silently added another debt to Lu Huan's record, determined to get it back later.
Lu Huan's hair was half-dry when she saw the man stop. She turned around in confusion, just about to ask why he stopped.
She saw the man staring at her with burning eyes, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason, then began to beat uncontrollably fast.
Her face flushed; she was all too familiar with the look in a man's eyes.
These past two days, after Gu Zhendong took a break, they really indulged themselves a bit.
In addition, Lu Huan had been shopping for several hours today, so she subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.
Gu Zhendong wrapped his long arm around the person, pulling them into his embrace. "Where do you want to go?"
Lu Huan hurriedly made up an excuse, "I need to blow-dry my hair, it's not dry yet!"
"Don't worry, I'll blow it for you in a bit!"
No, she absolutely didn't want to wash again!
Pleading was useless, and crying would only make the man more uncontrollable, so Lu Huan could only sob and endure it.
Gu Zhendong is a stingy and petty person.
He silently made a few mental notes about Lu Huan's transgressions, and then paid her back completely in bed.
Lu Huan was too naive to notice and assumed that Gu Zhendong had gone mad to act this way.
She slept until noon the next day, when Gu Zhendong woke her up. She was still sleepy and didn't want to open her eyes.
Gu Zhendong sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed Lu Huan's ankle through the blanket.
The man had just washed his hands, and his palms were icy cold, which made Lu Huan shiver and instinctively pull her feet deeper into the blankets.
Gu Zhendong held on tightly, not letting go. The cold ring remained pressed against Lu Huan's ankle. She couldn't bear the cold any longer, so she opened her eyes and looked at Gu Zhendong with resentment and anger, "What are you doing!"
She had just woken up, her voice still hoarse, a mix of coquettishness and complaint.
Gu Zhendong released her ankle. "Aren't you getting up? Aren't we going to the Lu family today?"
Lu Huan closed her eyes again, intending to fall asleep in an instant.
Gu Zhendong stared at her intently, but Lu Huan opened her eyes in annoyance after only three seconds. Her misty black eyes were filled with sleepiness as she scrambled out of bed and muttered under her breath, "It's all because you were too indulgent last night!"
As she spoke, she rubbed her lower back, saying, "My lower back is still sore!"
Gu Zhendong rubbed her skin, and Lu Huan reluctantly got out of bed.
While washing up, Lu Huan discovered that Gu Zhendong, that bastard, had left many marks on her body, making her so angry she wanted to curse.
Gu Zhendong glanced at her indifferently and said calmly, "You're dressed warmly, no one will notice."
Lu Huan: ...
After going downstairs, Yan Rong was having the maid clean the house, and at the same time, she made it extra festive, giving it a New Year's atmosphere.
When Yan Rong learned that the two of them were going to the Lu family today, she told them to be careful on the road and to come back early in the evening.
When the two arrived at the Lu family home, they ran into Chu Jun and Lu Sangsang.
Lu Sangsang happily called out "Sister," as if they were truly close sisters.
Lu Huan desperately didn't want to see these two, but he had no choice but to meet them, and he couldn't afford to break off relations.
Lu Huan smiled warmly, "Sang Sang, long time no see! You've become more and more beautiful!"
Sigh, who doesn't know how to be this fake sisterhood?
Since getting engaged to Chu Jun, Lu Sangsang's acting career has reached new heights.
Although she didn't have many roles in the previous web dramas, she played some likable characters. She is beautiful and her acting skills are also commendable. In addition, with the marketing of her studio, she gained more exposure in front of the public and then received a lot of opportunities.
Among the resources she knew of, many were given to her by Chu Jun.
Lu Sangsang's career was going smoothly, and her love life seemed to be going well as well, so her mood naturally improved. When a person is happy, their energy and spirit naturally follow, and she looked much better than when she had just attempted suicide.
Lu Sangsang replied politely, "Sister, you're getting more and more beautiful!"
Lu Huan has been staying at home for the past two weeks, avoiding the wind and sun, so her skin has naturally become fair and radiant. In addition, she had a special skincare treatment yesterday, and now her exposed skin looks as white as if it's glowing.
Lu Sangsang was truly envious. Ever since Lu Huan married Gu Zhendong, everything had turned out completely differently from what she had imagined.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sisters went inside.
It was so cold outside that Lu Huan couldn't stand it after standing for a while.
Once inside, the living room was very warm, and Lu Huan shivered. Gu Zhendong took the scarf off her neck. "Still cold?"
Lu Huan nodded, then shook her head, "It'll be ready in a minute!"
Her nose was red from the cold, so Gu Zhendong had someone pour her a cup of hot water. After confirming that the cup wasn't too hot, he placed it in her hands and said, "Warm your hands!"
The water cup was at the perfect temperature; it warmed me instantly when I held it in my palm, and I felt as if I had been saved.
Lu Huan muttered under her breath, "I hate going out in winter!"
In winter, Lu Huan just wants to stay in bed, scroll through her phone, and take a nap. She feels lazy and doesn't want to do anything.
It's rare for everyone to get together, but Lu Sangsang insists on suggesting that we make glutinous rice balls and dumplings together.
Upon hearing this suggestion, both Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong's faces darkened. After exchanging a glance, they unanimously recalled the scene of making love-filled bento boxes together last time.
Gu Zhendong had a very bad impression of cooking. If he had known that something like this would happen this afternoon, he would have made an excuse to come later.
Lu Huan was alright, after all, she had learned to bake some cookies from Yan Rong before, so she thought that making glutinous rice balls and dumplings shouldn't be a big problem, she could just learn how.
Lu Huan unconsciously moved closer to Gu Zhendong and whispered, "If you don't want to do it, you can go out first. I can do it here!"
As Lu Huan was speaking, she pushed Gu Zhendong outside, which was spotted by Lu Sangsang. She smiled at the two of them and asked, "Brother-in-law, aren't you going to make tangyuan together?"
Lu Huan quickly answered for Gu Zhendong, "No, he has other things to do!"
Gu Zhendong disliked the kitchen and was about to nod when he caught a glimpse of Chu Jun out of the corner of his eye. Chu Jun's gaze was fixed on Lu Huan, and Gu Zhendong felt a surge of anger.
I almost forgot about this annoying guy!
If he doesn't come along, wouldn't that give Chu Jun the perfect opportunity to get close to Lu Huan?
So Gu Zhendong changed his mind, "It's okay, I can learn from it."
Let's just consider it as gaining some experience in advance for the next mission.
Lu Huan had no idea what had gotten into Gu Zhendong, that he suddenly changed his mind.
Oh well, let him do whatever he wants.
Everything was prepared long ago, just waiting for someone to come and pack it.
Lu Huan studied with Gu Zhendong for a long time before finally learning how to make glutinous rice balls and dumplings, and it wasn't as difficult as she had imagined.
Lu Huan glanced at the glutinous rice balls she had made, then presented them to Gu Zhendong like a treasure, "Do you think they look pretty?"
People always have to improve, and Lu Huan's dumplings are getting better and better. Gu Zhendong glanced at the dumplings she had made in front of her and commented on her work like a leader, "Hmm, not bad, much better than before!"
Lu Huan smiled happily, "Then I'll cook for you tonight."
Throughout the entire process, Gu Zhendong stayed by Lu Huan's side, not giving her any chance to speak to Chu Jun.
Compared to the harmonious relationship between Lu Huan and Gu Zhendong, the other couple seemed somewhat distracted.
Lu Sangsang glanced at Chu Jun beside her, then lowered her head, her mind heavy with complicated thoughts.
After working for more than two hours, I finally finished.
Exhausted, Lu Huan returned to her bedroom and lay down on the sofa, motionless.
Having stayed up too late last night and not getting enough sleep, and having been busy non-stop until now, Lu Huan's eyelids couldn't help but droop as soon as she finally got some rest, wanting to fall asleep.
Seeing that she had closed her eyes and fallen asleep, Gu Zhendong asked, "Go to bed and sleep for a while?"
Lu Huan reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, whimpering twice in a coquettish tone, "I don't want to move!"
When the two were alone, Gu Zhendong turned off the TV and accompanied Lu Huan to take a nap.
It got dark quickly, and the butler came upstairs and knocked on the door, urging them to come downstairs for dinner.
Lu Huan casually rinsed her face with water and felt much more refreshed.
Guo Yi had a table of delicious dishes prepared, and also cooked some of the glutinous rice balls and dumplings she had made in the afternoon.
Lu Huan made her own portion and had it cooked separately, intending it for Gu Zhendong.
With only a bowl of glutinous rice balls and a bowl of dumplings placed in front of him, Gu Zhendong frowned. "Do you think I can eat all of this?"
It was Lu Huan's first time making this, and she wanted Gu Zhendong to try her cooking. For a moment, she forgot that Gu Zhendong only had one stomach and couldn't possibly eat that much.
"It's okay, just eat one of each!"
The fillings for the glutinous rice balls and dumplings were both correct; one was sweet with sesame filling, and the other was savory. Gu Zhendong ate one, and his expression didn't change. Lu Huan asked expectantly, "Is it good?"
The latter nodded, and Lu Huan was immediately delighted, "If you like it, I can make it for you every day from now on!"
Gu Zhendong liked hearing this, but he didn't need to do it every day.
Making dumplings is tiring, and Gu Zhendong couldn't bear to see her suffer.
The family sat together for dinner, but didn't talk about work.
After dinner, Guo Yi handed two large red envelopes to Lu Huan. Lu Huan was stunned for a moment, "Mom?"
"Here's your New Year's money!"
Every year, Guo Yi and Lu Zhong would give Lu Huan a red envelope containing cash, a stack of red coins.
Lu Huan held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand. It was heavy and thick, so he guessed it must have cost a lot of money.
"Mom, I don't need that much!"
She didn't want to accept it and immediately tried to return the red envelope to Guo Yi. Guo Yi then put on a long face and pretended to be angry, saying, "If you don't accept the red envelope, Mom and Dad will be angry!"
Lu Zhong chimed in, "Yeah, just accept them. Your mom's been keeping these two red envelopes for almost half a month, just waiting for you to come back!"
Guo Yi has always been thinking about Lu Huan, not for any other reason than their long-standing mother-daughter bond.
Unable to refuse, Lu Huan had no choice but to accept the two heavy red envelopes.
As for Lu Sangsang, she naturally received a red envelope as well.
Lu Huan hadn't been home for a long time, so she was naturally the darling of the family. Guo Yi even pulled Lu Huan aside and talked to her for quite a while.
The topic of having children came up, and Lu Huan was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Mom, what are you saying? I'm only twenty years old!"
"What do you mean 'twenty years old'? After tomorrow, you'll be twenty-one! You're not a child anymore!"
"But...but I'm still studying!" Lu Huan shook her head repeatedly, avoiding the topic of pregnancy and childbirth as if it were a demon, wishing she could escape far away.
"So what!" Guo Yi said, "You may be young, but you should at least consider your son-in-law's age. He's several years older than you, and men his age already have children in kindergarten! Why don't you hurry up and have one? Pregnancy is only ten months. These days, many college students take graduation photos with their husbands and kids. What's the big deal? Besides, your parents are getting old and want to hold their grandchild!"
Lu Huan never expected that she would be pressured to have children at such a young age. The elders were indeed terrifying.
Lu Huan scratched his head. "Mom, we haven't discussed this yet!"
Gu Zhendong was a pleasure-seeking and indulgent person, but they always took contraceptive measures when they had sex, and neither of them thought about getting pregnant and having a child.
Lu Huan blushed, and she absolutely refused to agree to have a child.
She's still young and is filled with fear of pregnancy and childbirth.
Guo Yi didn't press her too hard; after all, things would work themselves out eventually.
After Lu Huan finished whispering to Guo Yi and came out, Gu Zhendong sensed that something was wrong with her.
Especially when she met her gaze, Lu Huan blushed and quickly turned her head away.
Gu Zhendong looked puzzled. What was wrong with her?
After dinner, they went home.
Along the way, Lu Huan didn't lazily lean against him and sleep as usual; instead, she kept her head down and played on her phone very seriously.
I don't know who she was chatting with, but her fingers were flying across the screen, completely absorbed.
Gu Zhendong leaned closer, but before he could speak, Lu Huan abruptly turned off her phone and looked at him warily.
"Why did you suddenly come so close?" Lu Huan looked at him with lingering fear, her heart pounding rapidly.
She was complaining to her girlfriends in a group chat about how Guo Yi got her pregnant and had a baby when Gu Zhendong suddenly came over, which really startled her.
The group chat was full of complaints, so Lu Huan didn't dare show him her phone and quickly protected it tightly.
"nothing!"
Feeling that her behavior was very unusual, Gu Zhendong frowned and asked, "What did you say to your mother in the room just now?"
It seems like Lu Huan started acting a little strange after she finished chatting with Guo Yi.
She didn't even dare to meet her own eyes, as if she were some kind of monster.
Lu Huan instinctively avoided his eyes and shook her head in denial, "It's nothing!"
"If there's nothing wrong, then why don't you dare look me in the eye and say it?"
Gu Zhendong turned Lu Huan's face, forcing her to face him, and stared intently at her. "Hmm?"
How should I talk to him about this?
Lu Huan tried to lower her head, but her chin was being held tightly. She looked away and lied, saying, "Oh, it's really nothing, please let me go!"
With her chin constantly being pinched, she couldn't speak clearly. Lu Huan forcefully pried the man's fingers off.
Lu Huan refused to talk, but Gu Zhendong always had ways to get her to talk.
After returning home, Yan Rong asked them how their day at the Lu family's house went.
As soon as Lu Huan saw Yan Rong, he acted as if he had seen a savior, and ran up behind Yan Rong and started telling her about what had happened that day.
Overall, the Lu family treated Lu Huan quite well.
Firstly, Guo Yi dotes on her daughter whom she raised herself, and secondly, since Lu Huan married Gu Zhendong, they dare not treat Lu Huan badly.
Hearing that Lu Zhong and his wife had given Lu Huan two generous red envelopes, Yan Rong said with a smile, "Invite your parents over for a meal after the New Year!"
Lu Huan responded, secretly glancing at Gu Zhendong out of the corner of her eye.
Gu Zhendong was probably a little angry, so he went straight upstairs.
When the person disappeared at the top of the stairs, Lu Huan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
"Did you have a fight with Zhendong?" Yan Rong suddenly asked.
Lu Huan shook her head decisively, "No!"
"Really?" Yan Rong was very skeptical. "Then why were you avoiding him like a mouse avoiding a cat? Or did something happen at the Lu family's house today? Tell us about it."
When Guo Yi was persuading Lu Huan to have a child, she not only mentioned that Gu Zhendong was getting old, but also Gu Zhendong's parents.
Gu Youhai and Yan Rong only have one son, so they naturally want to have a grandson as soon as possible. If Lu Huan tells Yan Rong about this, Yan Rong will probably agree with her having a child.
Lu Huan's face fell, and she shook her head. "Nothing's wrong!"
She said everything was fine, but it was as if she could practically write "I'm in trouble" on her face.
Even she could see it, let alone Gu Zhendong.
Although she didn't know what the little girl was hiding, Yan Rong still stood by her side, saying, "No matter what decision you make, Mom will always be on your side!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huan was deeply moved and couldn't help but hug Yan Rong affectionately, saying, "Mom, you're so good!"
Gu Zhendong was indeed a little angry. At least he thought there were no secrets between him and Lu Huan, but after returning from the Lu family, she not only kept some things from him, but even avoided him. How could he not be angry!
Of course, this was just him brooding over his anger, unwilling to vent it on Lu Huan.
Gu Zhendong took off his coat, pondering what Guo Yi had told him and what she couldn't discuss with him.
Lu Huan wanted to avoid Gu Zhendong, but she could only hide for a while, not forever.
Lu Huan had already returned a bit late, and after talking with Yan Rong for a while, he was urged to come up.
Lu Huan was very conflicted. Yan Rong glanced at her and said, "Although I don't know what you're trying to hide, I still want to tell you that you and Zhen Dong are already husband and wife. If you can't resolve this matter, you can discuss it with your husband. Don't shoulder everything alone."
Having a child is something she can't handle alone, but she's too embarrassed to tell Gu Zhendong.
Lu Huan nodded, "I understand!"
Back in the bedroom, Gu Zhendong was taking a shower.
Lu Huan breathed a sigh of relief; he could hide for as long as he could.
Exhausted, she lay down on the sofa, staring at the glaring light above her head. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't finished chatting with everyone earlier to prevent Gu Zhendong from looking at her phone.
At that moment, I quickly took out my phone and glanced at the messages in the group chat.
Everyone chatted for a long time, and then, seeing that Lu Huan hadn't said anything more, they changed the subject and started talking about other things.
Lu Huan scrolled up several pages and finally saw their opinions on Guo Yi urging her to have a child.
Chu Han: My God, you've only been married for half a year, and your mom is already pressuring you to have a baby? That's terrifying!
Yan Shi: Sister, listen to your older sister's advice, why have a child? Isn't it better to enjoy life as a couple? Do whatever you want!
Chu Han: Yeah, yeah, after having a baby, you completely lose your personal freedom. Imagine if we ask you to go out and have fun, you'll say you're pregnant; if we ask you to go out for drinks, you'll say you're in postpartum confinement; if we ask you to go clubbing, you'll say you're breastfeeding; and if we ask you to go on a trip, you'll say you have to help the child with homework... Oh my god, just thinking about it is terrifying!
Chu Han: Besides, you're only twenty years old. Why are you in such a hurry to have a baby? What if you fall for a more handsome man later and dump Gu Zhendong?
Yan Shi: Let me tell you, many people are pressured to have a second child immediately after giving birth to their first. You should think this through!
...
The two chatted animatedly in the group chat, eventually reaching a consensus: they shouldn't have children so early.
Lu Huan sighed; she hadn't planned to have a child so soon.
Then the topic was changed, and Lu Huan tossed her phone aside, her mind replaying Yan Rong's words.
She bit her lip, after all, having a child wasn't something she could do alone, so maybe she should discuss it with Gu Zhendong.
But how can I tell Gu Zhendong about this?
Lu Huan looked distressed, glanced towards the bathroom, sighed heavily, and collapsed onto the sofa.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zhendong came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Huan immediately looked up at him, "Husband!"
Gu Zhendong was still sulking, and although his expression was indifferent, he still responded with a curt "Go take a shower!"
These three words made Lu Huan swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
She said "oh" and turned to go into the bathroom.
While taking a shower, she was thinking about how to bring this up with Gu Zhendong later.
What if Gu Zhendong wants a child? What should she say then? Does she really want to have a child?
No, no, Gu Zhendong has always taken the initiative to use contraception, which means he doesn't want children.
Yes, he probably doesn't want children!
Lu Huan silently repeated the words to herself several times, which eased her nervousness somewhat.
She spent so much time thinking in the bathroom that she didn't come out until very late.
Gu Zhendong sat on the bed, scrolling through his iPad with one hand, seemingly engrossed in the task.
Could it be that I made too little noise and he didn't hear me?
Lu Huan looked at Gu Zhendong's face suspiciously. Seeing that he was calm and focused on the screen, she deliberately coughed to attract his attention.
Gu Zhendong still didn't look up. Lu Huan was somewhat unwilling and annoyed, so she quickly walked to the bedside.
He rolled over to Gu Zhendong's side and leaned over to peek at the iPad.
That jerk is still dealing with emails late at night, not even glancing at her. Is he doing it on purpose?
Lu Huan poked the man's clothes with her finger, "Husband!"
She called out "husband" seductively, then looked up at the man with innocent, watery eyes, blinking hard twice.
Unfortunately, the man remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the screen, as if Lu Huan were a transparent wisp of air; his mind was only on work!
Damn it, he's definitely ignoring me on purpose!
She's already so close, even a blind person could feel her presence.
But he remained unmoved!
Lu Huan became even angrier and simply blocked Gu Zhendong's way, preventing him from looking at the iPad.
Lu Huan had just finished showering, her fair face flushed from the steam. She suddenly moved closer to Gu Zhendong, magnifying herself in front of him.
Hmph, she didn't believe that Gu Zhendong would pretend not to see her even though they were already this close!
Lu Huan covered all the iPads, and as expected, the man stirred, raising an eyebrow as if he wanted to speak. Lu Huan quickly spoke, letting out another coquettish "Husband!"
Gu Zhendong responded, "Move aside, you're blocking my view!"
What? She's already acting all cute and charming, and this jerk still expects her to give way?
Why are you so angry?!
Lu Huan refused to move aside, deliberately preventing Gu Zhendong from using the iPad to work.
Men also have other methods; one can hold the iPad to the left and turn their head to continue reading their emails.
Holding her in one arm and working on his iPad with the other, Lu Huan became even more annoyed.
Does he even see himself anymore?
Lu Huan's cheeks were puffed up with anger, but she didn't want to give up so easily. So she grabbed the iPad and tossed it aside, then hugged the man's neck. "Didn't you promise me that you would spend time with me during the holidays? You're still working right now, and I'm right in front of you, and you don't even look at me!"
Lu Huan grew angrier as she spoke, looking very aggrieved. Before Gu Zhendong could say anything, she grabbed his pajamas collar and kissed him hard.
It's just using her beauty as a weapon; she's used it before.
However, this time the honey trap didn't seem to work. Gu Zhendong didn't take the initiative and just watched Lu Huan kiss him quietly.
The man refused to cooperate, which made Lu Huan increasingly angry, and she didn't know what to do next.
Should I unbutton his pajamas first, or should I just pull down his pajama bottoms?
Lu Huan snorted, "Gu Zhendong, I'm angry!"
Halfway through the flirting, Lu Huan gave up, angrily rolled off Gu Zhendong, and wrapped herself in the blanket with her back to him.
Gu Zhendong wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it in.
He should be the one who's angry, but she's the one who's getting angry with a straight face. So it seems like he has to turn the tables and coax her instead.
If I were to coax her like that, wouldn't that be exactly what she wanted? If this continued, wouldn't I be completely under her control?
No, she only dares to be so demanding because she thinks she can take advantage of his doting on her!
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lu Huan. The little woman was wrapped up tightly in the blanket, with only her fluffy head showing. Without even opening her face, he knew she was angry.
Gu Zhendong hesitated, then decided to try and coax her.
If I don't comfort her now, what if she cries? In the end, I'll be the one who suffers.
Gu Zhendong was about to turn over and coax the person in bed when the person inside stirred first.
Lu Huan's anger was, of course, feigned. She just wanted to see Gu Zhendong's reaction. If he coaxed her, she would stop being angry and could also tell him what Guo Yi had told her. But what if he didn't coax her and continued to treat her coldly...
Hesitantly, she bit her lip. What... what should she do?
A second in bed felt like ten minutes. She didn't know how much time had passed, but just when Lu Huan was feeling suffocated, she made a decisive decision.
It's just coaxing Gu Zhendong; she's done it before.
Just as Gu Zhendong was trying to coax him, Lu Huan suddenly rolled over, crawled out of the covers, grabbed Gu Zhendong's chin, and kissed him fiercely.
She's determined to make Gu Zhendong fall for her seduction scheme today!
Gu Zhendong: ...
If a man remains unmoved even when presented with beautiful women, then he truly doesn't deserve to be called a man!
Gu Zhendong naturally took advantage of Lu Huan's seduction tactics, and even had to pretend to be forced into it.
However, when Gu Zhendong went to rummage through the drawer for condoms, he found that the last one had been used up the night before, and they were out of them.
Lu Huan snapped out of her daze and looked at him in a panic, "No!"
If we hadn't used condoms, we might have gotten pregnant on the first try!
She's still young and doesn't want to get pregnant and have a baby so early!
With the arrow already on the bowstring, Gu Zhendong, his forehead covered in sweat, pressed against her as he was about to enter her, kissing her cheek. "We'll buy it tomorrow, just this once today!"
If it weren't for the pressure to have a child, Lu Huan would probably have agreed, but her mind was perfectly clear right now, and she pressed her hands firmly against her chest, saying, "No way!"
Lu Huan was more clear-headed and resolute than ever before, determined not to allow Gu Zhendong to enter.

And in such cold weather, they had to directly cool down his body.
Gu Zhendong took a deep breath, released Lu Huan, muttered a curse under his breath in frustration, and got off her.
The two had almost taken off their clothes. Lu Huan, wrapped in the blanket, stretched out a slender, fair arm from under the covers, half-knelt on the bed, grabbed her nightgown, and put it on while snuggling under the blankets.
Not even sure if she'd put her clothes on backwards, Lu Huan hurriedly dressed herself and looked at him with innocent, doe-like eyes, "Aren't you going to the convenience store to buy some?"
Gu Zhendong glared at her fiercely, "What do you think!"
Lu Huan then lowered her head innocently. Okay, it's all her fault!
She shouldn't have flirted with Gu Zhendong so casually!
