It seemed that yawning aggravated the injury at the corner of his mouth, as his face twitched into a somewhat ferocious expression. He hissed, rubbed his mouth, and said to the room, "It's already noon, what should we eat?"
Footsteps came from inside the room. Meng Ruyi was wearing slippers and a loose bathrobe, revealing a large expanse of white skin on her chest. Her eyes were full of desire, and her lips were red and slightly swollen.
After coming out, she leaned against Lu Kai as if she had no bones, and said softly, "It's already this late, why don't we just grab something to eat? I'll go to the state-run restaurant tonight and buy some good dishes, and I'll have a nice drink with you."
Lu Kai nodded, a slight smile appearing on his face. He pulled Meng Ruyi close and kissed her red lips. "Then let's make some noodles for lunch. Your man almost died on you last night. If you don't eat something, how will he feed you tonight?"
Meng Ruyi smiled, her eyes crinkling with a seductive charm. She pretended to push Lu Kai away and spat, "You rascal!"
Yao Yao swayed her hips and went to the kitchen next door to get busy.
Lu Kai chuckled and followed a few steps, patted Meng Ruyi's buttocks, and received a flirtatious wink from her before settling down contentedly on a recliner in the courtyard.
The moment he sat down, he couldn't help but rub his lower back before crossing his legs. Because the midday sun was a bit hot and there was no one in the yard, he unbuttoned a few buttons on his clothes, revealing several scratches and hickeys on his neck.
Meng Ruyi looked at the beautiful girl, who seemed to have never lifted a finger, yet she was quite adept at cooking.
Not long after, he brought out two large bowls of noodles and placed them on the stone table in the courtyard.
The fine noodles, piled high with canned meat and topped with two poached eggs, looked quite appetizing.
Lu Kai was already hungry, so he ate as soon as the food was served.
I was still a little hungry after finishing the bowl.
Meng Ruyi didn't seem hungry. She picked out two pieces of meat with her chopsticks and ate them, then picked out two bites of noodles and put them aside.
Seeing that Lu Kai had finished eating, she pushed her own bowl over to him.
Lu Kai didn't stand on ceremony; it seemed like they were already used to each other, and he took the food and ate it in a few bites.
Lu Kai put down his chopsticks and sighed, "These noodles are still the best made by you! I haven't had your noodles for days!"
While clearing away the dishes, Meng Ruyi gave him a reproachful look: "How dare you say that? Now that you're married and have a new partner, you've long forgotten about me, your old flame! You don't even care about me anymore, so why would you care about noodles made by your old flame?"
"The new girl is young and beautiful, do you even remember me? Who are you trying to fool by saying these things now?"
Lu Kai quickly pulled Meng Ruyi into his arms and kissed her twice on the face. Meng Ruyi pretended to break free, but Lu Kai held her tightly.
After a few playful banter, Lu Kai pulled her into his arms and they lay down on the recliner, rocking back and forth. He said, "Why are you being so jealous again? Don't you know who I have in my heart? Who did I marry Xu Zhenzhu for? Wasn't it for us?"
"Back then, weren't there some gossips? They said that although I, as the younger brother-in-law, took good care of you, my sister-in-law, because my older brother wasn't home, it still had a bad influence! Otherwise, why would I have been in such a hurry to marry Xu Zhenzhu? Wasn't it to be a shield for us!"
"After I married Xu Zhenzhu, you saw it for yourself, all those gossips disappeared immediately! And hasn't Mom's attitude towards you improved a lot too? I've really sacrificed myself for our happiness!"
"Besides, wasn't this all planned out between us? Marrying a girl from the countryside, someone without power or influence, even if she discovers something amiss, she wouldn't dare to make a fuss, would she?"
"You personally chose Xu Zhenzhu! She's a high school student, has no family background, and is stupid. She'll be easy to control after she marries me! I married her entirely according to your wishes!"
"How can she compare to you, a country girl? She's so rustic and brainless, she's not even as good as your toenails! I haven't come these past few days, isn't it all to appease her, for our future?"
Meng Ruyi fiddled with the buttons on Lu Kai's clothes and said in a coquettish voice, "You really think so? Your wife is a high school student. She was a virgin when she married you! Everyone at the machine factory praises how considerate and caring you are to your wife. You're so obedient to her! They even say that you're a perfect newlywed, always clinging to each other, it's hard to look at you like that!"
"If you truly cared about me, tell me, how many times have you come to see me since you got married? I'm afraid your mind has been entirely on your wife, hasn't it? As the old saying goes, 'A day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days as husband and wife is as deep as the sea!' You two have been married for over a hundred days, and now that you're deeply in love, you wouldn't even think of me if you weren't feeling unhappy!"
Lu Kai kept calling her kisses and affectionately calling her "my darling": "My sweetheart, there's no one else in my heart but you! Besides, when it comes to being husband and wife, haven't I been married to you for longer than to her? I was married to her for a hundred days, but I've been married to you for a thousand days!"
“You are as bright as the moon in my heart, why bother with Xu Zhenzhu, who is like a ditch on the ground? If I didn’t need her as a shield, I would want to kill her for what she did! I chose her because I thought she wasn’t smart and would be easy to manipulate, but now I realize that she’s not just not smart, she’s just incredibly stupid!”
"If she hadn't offended Gu Zhiyuan by kidnapping Xu Siya, I wouldn't have ended up like this with Gu Zhiyuan! She's more trouble than she's worth!"
As Lu Kai grew angrier, he didn't notice the unnatural glint in Meng Ruyi's eyes when he mentioned kidnapping Xu Siya.
He was still complaining incessantly.
He had been holding back these complaints for a long time, having nowhere else to voice them.
At home, he dared not tell Lu's father and mother.
He certainly wouldn't tell Xu Zhenzhu.
The world is vast, and the only thing I can do to relieve my stress is to talk to my own heart.
Seeing Lu Kai like this, Meng Ruyi forgot to pretend to be angry and quickly hugged him to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay! I'm here for you! What is this little setback to you? With your dad as your pillar of strength, this is nothing serious! In a year or two, who will remember? Who will even dare to remember?"
"As long as Dad doesn't fall, what are we afraid of? It's good that you're no longer in the engineering design department. That department can't go on business trips, you have to be in the factory every day, and someone is watching you all the time. What's the point?"
"It would be better to stay in the sales department! Business trips are a frequent occurrence! You can just make up an excuse and come over here, right? Otherwise, like before, you can't come more than a few times and you feel like you're doing something sneaky?"
"You have no idea how I've endured these days since you got married! I've been alone in this empty house every day while my husband is making love with another woman in bed! And I can't even say anything, because he has a legal status! What do I have?"
"We agreed that even after we got married, you wouldn't neglect me for that woman! But honestly, how many times have you come? And you just come and leave! How could you do this to me?"
"You're already neglecting me now that you don't have children yet. What will I be to you when you and your wife have children in the future?"
As she spoke, Meng Ruyi's eyes reddened, and she hugged Lu Kai, sobbing uncontrollably.
