Yu Ting stared at the side profile of Lu Nanchen, lost in thought.
After getting out of the car, they entered the house and what talking there was ceased, each doing their own thing in silence.
With nothing to do in the living room, they both ascended the stairs, Lu Nanchen leading, with Yu Ting following.
On their way to their bedrooms, Lu Nanchen took a turn first, heading towards a guest room that had been closed for a long time.
It was a room that Yu Ting had no memory of ever entering.
Initially, after the original host got married to Lu Nanchen, they shared a bed for some time, but later on, because the original host got tired of him and fell in love with Shen Sheng, they decided to sleep in separate rooms. Lu Nanchen agreed without hesitation.
Four months of marriage, over three months in separate bedrooms.
The door creaked open.
Lu Nanchen walked into the room.
Yu Ting glanced into the room curiously as she passed by.
Comparing it to the original host’s pink room, Lu Nanchen’s was put together extremely meticulously. Every piece of furniture was placed in its designated spot. Even the bedding was without any noticeable wrinkles, neatly made.
Such orderliness made it feel somewhat oppressive.
Yu Ting chose to keep her thoughts to herself, respecting his preference. After a silent look or two, she returned to her master bedroom.
With Yu Ting’s recent improvements, her master bedroom looked a lot better than before.
It looked like a normal room for a 20-year-old.
Yu Ting sat down at the vanity to remove her makeup. Reflected in the large mirror were the water cup, seat cushion, and tissue box that she bought from that rip-off store yesterday.
The pure gold tissue box wasn’t too bad, but as for that water cup...
She could barely stand the sight of it. It was not her preferred style at all.
As Yu Ting was removing her makeup, she stared at the cup: "..."
She had an idea.
...
Ten minutes later, outside Lu Nanchen’s room.
Having finished removing her makeup, Yu Ting knocked on the door. She had already removed her jacket due to the heat, leaving her in the white shirt she was wearing underneath.
With a click, the door was opened by the person inside, Lu Nanchen appearing behind it.
Casual at home but still meticulously dressed with not a button out of place or a sliver of carelessness showing. His hand still on the doorknob, he looked down at Yu Ting.
Being bare-faced, Yu Ting looked less glamorous but slightly more demure.
"Um, do you still need a cup? Here, I’ll give you this one." Standing in front of the door, Yu Ting handed over the bedazzled water cup in her hand sincerely.
Aside from the diamond decorations, it was virtually identical to the ’old man’ style cup that Lu Nanchen used.
The diamonds on the cup’s lid and base sparkled under the light of the hallway’s overhead lamps.
Lu Nanchen stared at the absurdly designed cup: ...
Given their marital status and the effort Lu Nanchen put into everything, Yu Ting felt that it was reasonable, if not her duty, to be nice to him.
Mulling over it and considering Lu Nanchen’s previous actions, Yu Ting became more resolute.
"I don’t like this type of cup. If I kept it, it would just go to waste, so you might as well have it."
"No, thanks."
Lu Nanchen denied it outright. He didn’t like such extravagant things.
And the diamonds were sharp.
"It cost 1.02 million. It really shouldn’t waste it."
Lu Nanchen, who has a monthly salary of 9,000: ?
After a moment of surprise, Lu Nanchen accepted the water cup with a complicated look.
Then, Yu Ting’s gaze moved past Lu Nanchen to the office supplies inside his room. She suddenly remembered something, turned around, and ran back to her bedroom.
"Wait a moment."
A minute or two later, Yu Ting came back with a seat cushion and handed it over to Lu Nanchen.
"Here, you can also have this. I felt like you would need it more than me."
"No need."
"This cost 200,000."
