Chapter 32 Guide to Winning Over Your Wife
In the misty morning, the air was fresh and pleasant. The sun slowly climbed the mountain and soon hung in the sky. The sunlight poured into the cool yet sweet room, suddenly bathing it in a warm glow.
Lu Jinyuan was awakened by his biological clock and opened his eyes at the usual time. The person next to him was still fast asleep. He turned to look at her. Her face was bare and without makeup. Her sleeping face was peaceful, and her fair and bright cheeks were like jasmine covered with dew.
He remembered how she had run away from him last night, complaining that he was too hot, and he couldn't catch her. He inadvertently noticed the diamond ring on her ring finger, the one he had personally slipped on in front of everyone yesterday. The facets of the diamond sparkled, and he rubbed his fingertip against it a few times, suppressing his unusually strong urge to get up in the morning, before getting out of bed before her.
According to custom, we're going back to the Jiang family for dinner today. The Lu family is also hosting a family banquet tonight, which is considered a ceremony to mark Jiang Qingying's formal takeover of the Lu family's affairs as the matriarch.
After washing up, Lu Jinyuan realized it was still early, so he started working on his business on the sofa.
Two hours later, it was already nine o'clock. Lu Jinyuan went to wake Jiang Qingying up. She had exhausted her strength yesterday and it was obvious that she couldn't be woken up now.
Jiang Qingying was so annoyed that she shrank into the covers like a snail, her muffled voice coming through the blankets: "Sleep a little longer."
"If you don't get up now, it will be too late." Lu Jinyuan poured cold water on her without any mercy.
Jiang Qingying threw back the covers, her sleepy eyes glaring at him. "It's all your fault for staying up so late last night."
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Lu Jinyuan said dismissively, then asked considerately, "Do you want me to help you?"
"No need." Jiang Qingying felt sore all over and weak in her limbs, but she still insisted on arguing with him. She threw off the covers and went to the bathroom by herself, and after a while she called out, "Lu Jinyuan!"
Lu Jinyuan rubbed his temples; he knew it.
Jiang Qingying stormed out, pointing to the marks on her body and demanding, "I told you yesterday not to leave marks in such obvious places! What is this?!"
"Sorry, I didn't notice." Lu Jinyuan said in a rare humble tone.
"How am I supposed to wear this dress?" Jiang Qingying was speechless. She had chosen her dress early in the morning. As a newlywed returning to her parents' home, she wanted to dress in a festive and spirited way, but not as brightly colored as on the wedding day. So she had chosen a light pink chiffon dress with a halter neck design that would show off her collarbone and shoulders.
Those marks couldn't be covered up at all.
Both of them were a bit crazy last night, especially him; madmen don't have brains to think.
Lu Jinyuan was very troubled. Observing her body, he came up with a solution in the shortest time: "Do you like wearing cheongsams? Cheongsams have stand-up collars, which can cover up the marks on your body."
Jiang Qingying hasn't worn it much because she usually wears business suits. She said, "Where can I find a cheongsam at this time of year?"
"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it," Lu Jinyuan reassured her.
Jiang Qingying glanced at him with droopy eyelids, deciding to believe him this once.
Lu Jinyuan went to the balcony to make a phone call, and returned indoors five minutes later. "It will probably take about an hour to deliver. Let's have some breakfast first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingying suddenly felt extremely hungry and nodded sullenly.
Lu Jinyuan found it incredibly difficult. How was he supposed to handle the conflict that started on the second day of their marriage? He was a novice and had absolutely no experience to draw upon, so he could only rely on the habitual thinking of a top student to learn and do things.
Baidu.
He found a post.
The Guide to Winning Over Your Wife
First, apologize sincerely and affectionately, filled with love. For example: "Baby, I'm sorry; don't be angry, kiss me, mua~"
Second point: Accept her emotional outbursts without explaining or arguing. Agree with everything your wife says, and you can even use cheesy pickup lines to lighten her mood. For example: One day, a little duck was reading a book, and another little duck said, "Time to eat! Quickly close the book, duck, close the book, duck!"
Thirdly: Take the initiative to solve the problem, and ask for your wife's opinion according to her habits.
After reading the post, Lu Jinyuan was filled with black lines. He seemed to have only managed to do the third point, but the first two points were too difficult, and Jiang Qingying would probably find him disgusting.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Qingying asked, noticing that he had already brought him breakfast but hadn't eaten a single bite.
"It's nothing." Lu Jinyuan put away his phone and asked gently, "Is it to your liking?"
"Mmm." Jiang Qingying ate expressionlessly.
After thinking it over, Lu Jinyuan could barely manage the second point: "You don't seem very happy. Would you like to hear a joke?"
Jiang Qingying was slightly taken aback, suddenly finding it difficult to swallow the food she was chewing halfway through. "You...were you just looking at jokes on Baidu?"
“...I suppose so,” Lu Jinyuan replied. The post was indeed a joke to him.
Jiang Qingying finally laughed out loud, "No, your jokes are creepy."
“…” Lu Jinyuan sat up straight, his face serious, and said in a solemn tone, “We just got married and we don’t have much experience with many things. We must communicate and resolve any problems in a timely manner.”
Jiang Qingying looked at him quietly, her voice calm and steady: "Actually, in situations like just now, you just need to help me come up with a solution. As for making me happy, that's all." She paused, then said apologetically, "I'm not easy to please, so whatever you say probably won't have much effect."
Lu Jinyuan carefully considered her words and came to a conclusion after a long time: "If talking is useless, then what should we do?"
"Sacrificing my looks to please you would be a pretty good solution."
Jiang Qingying: "......"
Is her lustful nature so outstanding and obvious?!
-
During the time the two were having breakfast, Lu Jinyuan had someone bring over a cheongsam. He showed the box to her and said sincerely, "I hope you like it."
Jiang Qingying bit her lip and opened the box. The cheongsam was folded very neatly, and she was amazed just by seeing the top side of the cheongsam.
A pure white cheongsam, with clear and three-dimensional patterns on the satin fabric, a collar and front adorned with bright red silk thread, and three-dimensional incense-shaped buttons on the side, with red agate as the clasp, resembling a red plum blossom in the white snow.
Jiang Qingying picked up the cheongsam to admire it and noticed that its cape was a lotus leaf style, shorter in the front and longer in the back, which made it look very gentle and elegant. Then she saw the pearl-buckled platform high heels that he had paired with it, and the anger in her heart immediately disappeared.
I'll forgive you for now.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Lu Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you like it."
"Where did you get this cheongsam?" Jiang Qingying examined the box closely, finding the logo familiar, but couldn't quite place the name.
“The products from Wanxiu Pavilion are owned by a friend of mine. He usually has a few ready-made garments in his shop, so I asked him to help me out in an emergency.”
Jiang Qingying knew Wanxiu Pavilion, a famous cheongsam shop in the city, a century-old brand. The current owner is a young and mysterious man, and the cheongsams he makes by hand are extremely rare.
Lu Jinyuan has such connections.
"Do we need to pay it back?"
Jiang Qingying asked sincerely, with a hint of probing, which amused Lu Jinyuan, who could tell that she really liked it.
“No need, I’ve already bought it.” He said he had a good relationship with the mysterious owner, and then said, “If you like it, I’ll take you to the shop to have it done later.”
"Okay." Jiang Qingying went to the bathroom to change into a cheongsam, then put on light makeup. She stood in front of the mirror for a while, admiring herself, and then turned to Lu Jinyuan with great satisfaction, asking, "Does it look good?"
Lu Jinyuan's gaze was fixed on her. The form-fitting cheongsam accentuated her exquisite curves, and her light makeup was just right, not too flashy and overshadowing the clothes. His voice was deep and pleasant: "Very beautiful."
No matter how powerful or assertive a CEO is, she is still a woman. A woman's natural instinct is to be overjoyed by a beautiful dress.
Jiang Qingying lightly skipped to him, hooked her arm around his neck, and gestured for him to bow his head. "Congratulations on your marriage. Here's a good morning kiss for you, Mr. Lu."
She deliberately avoided using the terms of address reserved for husband and wife; the way she pronounced "President Lu" at the end of her sentence actually added a touch of romance.
Lu Jinyuan's chest trembled slightly as he placed his hand on her side and kissed her. "Good morning, President Jiang."
