After dinner, Lu Zhiyuan offered to accompany me downstairs for a walk.
"The sweet and sour fish I made is really delicious. Look, you ate half an extra bowl of rice tonight." Lu Zhiyuan teased me.
It was late at night and there were not many people in the community, except for people walking their dogs.
Lu Zhiyuan knew that I was afraid of big dogs, so whenever this happened, he would hold my hand tightly and protect me carefully behind him.
His broad palm was warm, and I suddenly felt an indescribable tightness in my chest.
I don't know if he is as considerate and caring when facing another woman.
"Wife, what are you thinking about?" Lu Zhiyuan asked me gently after the man walking the dog walked away.
I came back to my senses and smiled: "Nothing."
"Honey, I've had a strange feeling lately. I always feel like you're deliberately avoiding me." Lu Zhiyuan looked at me with his bright, starry eyes and sighed deeply. "Before, when you got home from get off work, you would take the initiative to talk to me about your day, and on weekends you would pester me to watch TV series with you. But now, it seems like work is the only thing on your mind."
I was stunned. Was Lu Zhiyuan acting coquettishly and complaining to me?
I met his gaze and was silent for a moment.
Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were so seductive, his dark pupils were like an endless abyss that was about to swallow me up.
At the beginning, it was because I felt the strong love in his eyes that I married him without hesitation.
At this moment, I looked away, cast my gaze into the distance, and said with a forced smile, "Honey, I'm sorry. You know I've been very busy with work lately. But I promise you, as long as I pass the promotion assessment, I will take annual leave to spend time with you."
As soon as the words fell, his lips suddenly softened.
Lu Zhiyuan held my face and suddenly kissed me on the lips.
"Wife, I love you." He smiled triumphantly, like a big boy in love.
I was a little dazed, and Lu Zhiyuan took my hand and continued walking forward.
"Wife, my mother's birthday is next week, and I want to hold a birthday party for her," he told me.
I came to my senses and remembered that ever since Zhao Xian tricked me into going to the hospital, Lu Zhiyuan had never taken me back to my in-laws' home again.
He was probably worried that I still had some grudges, so he secretly arranged the birthday party himself and only told me when it was almost time.
I agreed calmly, "Well, Mom is turning 55 now. I remember she loved wearing cheongsams. I'll take some time out these days to pick one out for her as a birthday present."
Before breaking off relations with the Lu family, one must continue to maintain superficial harmony.
"Thank you, wife." Lu Zhiyuan squeezed my hand.
I smiled and didn't want to continue being mushy with him.
I changed the subject and asked cryptically, "By the way, husband, how are you and Liu Yuan doing lately?"
This question seemed to bring back unpleasant memories for Lu Zhiyuan.
He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "After you told me, I investigated. Wu Ying had just joined the company and had hooked up with Liu Yuan."
"You revealed their relationship to Liu Yuan?" I asked in surprise.
Lu Zhiyuan shook his head: "I didn't agree to fire Wu Ying, I just transferred her away from the front desk to reduce her chances of meeting Liu Yuan."
That's all.
I sneered in my heart.
It seems that even scumbags can sympathize with each other.
"Alas, the most pitiful one is Liu Yuan's wife." I couldn't help but sigh, looked up at Lu Zhiyuan, and pretended to be sad, "Husband, you don't know yet. Liu Yuan's wife is now the sales director of our company."
"What did you say?" Lu Zhiyuan asked in shock.
