After much deliberation, the lady finally came up with a brilliant idea: to take action on the wedding day. There was no other way.
Women are prone to jealousy, and sowing discord between Lianrong Chengzhi might be a powerful remedy.
No matter how good a man is, if he's a womanizer, he's worthless, especially since they're rivals.
The gossip among the women solved the immediate problem; the urgent matter now is to inform Yi Mo and the others as soon as possible.
The lady visited her injured "colleague" with nutritional supplements. The man, who was bedridden and recovering from his injuries, appeared to have almost fully recovered.
"How are you?"
The man smiled calmly at her, a smile that could captivate anyone, giving the impression of being irresistible at first sight.
"It's alright, what was your name?"
It just came to my senses; after all this time, I still didn't know his name.
"Feng Rui!"
The lady handed him a glass of juice, while she picked up her teacup and slowly savored it.
"The surname 'Feng' is quite rare." The two chatted briefly and pleasantly.
On the way downstairs, I ran into Ichita, who was recounting the events. Ichita gave a faint nod and we passed each other.
The weather outside is so sunny, it would be a shame not to go out and take a look.
"Oh, madam, what brings you to sunbathe today?"
Her hostility was evident in her sour tone, revealing her jealousy.
"You can come and go as you please? Do you think I need to report to a servant like you? What a joke!"
Hmph, you think I can't hurt people with words?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhi's expression changed drastically, and she left in a fit of rage.
The lady chuckled and watched her leave with her arms crossed. Seeing this, Yi Mo chimed in with a comment.
"Madam, what's wrong with her?"
"What else could it be? She's just jealous that I'm of a higher status than her."
The disdainful tone was overheard by Lianrong, who was passing by. A wicked smile appeared on her lips, and her gaze toward the upstairs was intriguing.
"Madam, please don't get angry, lest you harm your health."
How could he not know that she had such a sharp tongue?
It seems I still know too little about her.
Knock knock knock!
"Come in!"
Lake looked up at the door and, seeing who it was, gestured for Ichita to leave.
After casually tidying up, he asked, "What do you want from me?"
Lianrong smiled, her bright eyes casually scanning the study, her small hands casually flipping through the documents on the table.
"It's nothing, I just came in to see you, sir."
Lake didn't take her answer seriously.
"Where is Madam?"
"Madam should be in the garden. By the way, I just saw Chengzhi storm into the room. I don't know what happened. She really needs to change her fiery temper."
She wished she could stay like this forever, otherwise her husband would eventually get tired of her.
Only when the opportunity arises can she seize it.
The flowers in the garden are colorful, and the birds in the trees are singing merrily.
As Lake walked downstairs, he saw the two people walking side by side in front of him from afar, and his eyes deepened slightly.
Unaware of each other, the two whispered among themselves in the garden, discussing how to make their plan flawless.
"How are you?"
"fine."
"To be honest, I didn't expect to see you again."
Everything was so unexpected, but he liked the unexpectedness.
"Same here! By the way, have you ever met that Feng Rui?"
She always felt that this man was mysterious and familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Yi Mo raised an eyebrow.
"You mean that man? I've met him, but I only recently remembered him. What's wrong?"
He didn't believe that was all she wanted to say; she must have something more important to tell him.
"..."
...
"You and I are probably guessing the same thing. We need to find a way to get him out of there and back home as soon as possible. I plan to launch a full-scale operation on the wedding day, and I need your full cooperation..."
From a distance, the two looked like old friends catching up, but little did they know they had only "just met" not long ago.
What are you talking about?
The sudden sound startled the two, but they quickly recovered.
"gentlemen!"
The lady calmly met his gaze in the sunlight, showing no embarrassment at being caught.
Given the distance, I probably didn't hear what they were saying. Luckily, we maintained a friendly distance; otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain.
"You two seem to be having a very pleasant conversation, so I don't want to interrupt. Tell me what's making you happy so I can hear it too."
Seeing how naturally they interacted and talked, could it be that he was overthinking things?
Just as Yi Mo was about to speak, the lady blurted out.
"We didn't talk much. I just wanted him to give me some advice on what kind of ceremony men like to use for their weddings."
Since they live in Myanmar and are of Chinese descent, choosing wedding attire really stumped her.
Lake laughed heartily upon hearing this, beaming with joy.
"My lady, how desperate are you to get married? Luckily, I know you well, otherwise I would have thought you..."
Such ambiguous and direct words made her so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground; her cheeks flushed red, like ripe apples.
The stranger quietly faded away, leaving the couple to "cultivate their relationship."
After walking some distance, he stopped and looked back, his eyes deepening slightly.
The couple strolled in the garden, showing off their affection and showering the flowers and grass with their love so sweet it was almost blinding.
The two were deeply in love, unaware that danger was approaching.
From the window diagonally opposite, Cheng Zhi's eyes were filled with malice, as if she wanted to devour her alive.
"Chengzhi, what are you looking at?"
Those are the wife and husband, and they seem to be a very well-matched couple.
