Shen Wenran's expression quickly attracted the attention of Lu Jinghuai, who was standing to the side.
He also subconsciously looked at Shen Ruoyi.
Sure enough, Shen Ruoyi, noticing his gaze, also looked at him with affectionate eyes.
Upon seeing this, Lu Jinghuai frowned even more deeply.
If he really is just a character in a book, and as Shen Wenran said, his relationship with Shen Ruoyi is ambiguous.
That's... really pretty ridiculous.
His fingers clenched tighter again.
Shen Wenran was happily making her plans when she saw that Lu Jinghuai was unmoved and not cooperating at all with her showing affection.
She simply continued to try and win him over.
"Honey, are you feeling unwell? Let me rub it for you?"
She reached out and placed her hand on Lu Jinghuai's shoulder.
Her tone was still as sweet and coquettish as before.
—If I'm not mistaken, that jerk will push my hand away because he's disgusted with me, and then ignore me and walk away.
—That way, Shen Ruoyi will realize that our marriage is just something I wishfully wanted, and then I took the opportunity to seduce her in various ways.
—Oh, and Mom and Dad will also feel sad when they see this.
Lu Jinghuai slowly lowered his raised hand at this moment.
He really wanted to push the woman's hand off his shoulder.
However, now...
With a single pull, Lu Jinghuai dragged Shen Wenran into his arms.
Shen Wenran: ? ? ?
Her eyes met Lu Jinghuai's.
—Has that jerk taken the wrong medicine again?
This time, however, she didn't see the cold and aloof Lu Jinghuai, but rather Lu Jinghuai with a cryptic smile playing on his lips.
Lu Jinghuai hooked his large hand around her waist, rendering her completely immobile.
He then said, "No, I just missed you."
Shen Wenran: "!!!"
—That scoundrel has really taken the wrong medicine!
—Wait, let me think about the reason. Could it be because my grandfather is pressuring this scoundrel that if he doesn't behave well at home and make me look good, he won't hand over the inheritance to him?
—Or is it that this scoundrel is actually a pervert who wants to take advantage of me?
The Shen couple felt somewhat awkward at the couple's intimate behavior.
But seeing that his daughter and son-in-law were not as the rumors online suggested—that their relationship was strained and that it was all talk and no action—he was instantly relieved.
However, Shen Ruoyi clenched her fists secretly.
When she learned that she was engaged to Lu Jinghuai, she was happy. Little did she know that news would soon come that Lu Jinghuai had become a vegetable.
So she quickly pushed the marriage onto Shen Wenran.
Given that she was married to a vegetable who could make her a widow at any moment, she naturally chose to stay in the Shen family and sponge off her parents.
But now, seeing Lu Jinghuai's good looks, she regrets it.
Even if such a perfect man were to become a vegetable, he would still be lucky.
She finally understood why Shen Wenran had insisted on marrying Lu Jinghuai despite everything back then.
Because this man is simply irresistible.
Just then, Shen Wenran spoke again.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, my mother-in-law has hired the best doctor to treat Jinghuai. The doctor said that Jinghuai will recover soon."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoyi became even more jealous.
It's one thing to be stuck in a wheelchair now, but wouldn't it be even better if Shen Wenran could stand up and become the head of the Lu family in the future?
No, it seems there is no better choice in the whole world than this man.
Shen Ruoyi looked at Lu Jinghuai, a little idea forming in her mind.
Actually, Lu Jinghuai's legs suddenly became immobile, and now when she thinks about it, it all seems rather strange.
Then, he inquired about the emotionless System 001 through his consciousness.
[001, Could you check if the male protagonist in the original book ever had a limp?]
[Querying, please wait, host.]
Soon, 001's voice rang out again in his consciousness.
[Host, the male protagonist in the original book never experienced a broken leg.]
Shen Wenran: [Understood]
After asking all these questions, Shen Wenran stared intently at Lu Jinghuai with her eyes.
A thought suddenly popped into her head.
The system says that the dog man never broke his leg throughout the entire book, but now he can't walk. What happened?
—Wait, could it be an act?
—If that's really the case, what if I accidentally spill a cup of coffee on him while I'm serving it? Would that jerk suddenly jump up?
Shen Wenran laughed wildly in his heart.
Lu Jinghuai looked at his legs and realized that he had to keep his distance from Shen Wenran.
At the same time, he was even more curious about what story was written in the book, and why Shen Wenran avoided him like a tiger.
And he has completely accepted the status quo.
Perhaps, he really is a character in a book.
Ha, how ironic.
After leaving the room, Lu Jinghuai deliberately kept a certain distance from Shen Wenran.
Especially when they saw Shen Wenran holding a drink, they kept their distance even further.
Just as he dodged away, Shen Ruoyi pressed against him.
"ah……"
A soft exclamation caught Lu Jinghuai's attention.
Lu Jinghuai turned around and saw Shen Ruoyi lying on the ground next to the wheelchair.
Shen Ruoyi looked at Lu Jinghuai with deep affection, hoping that this man could lend her a helping hand.
However, at that moment, the man ignored her and left.
Lu Jinghuai just wanted to hide away in a quiet place.
Who knew that they would hear Shen Wenran's inner thoughts again.
