Ye Nanxing's face turned even paler.
She pursed her lips.
But in the end, he managed to calm himself down.
Even if she had just shown some displeasure, she carefully kept it to herself.
Meanwhile, seeing that her previous move hadn't worked, Shen Wenran began to devise a plan again.
—Oh dear, Little White Lotus's plan has failed.
—But it's alright, men are just driven by their lower instincts; sooner or later they'll fight for a woman. And if all else fails, there are other options.
Lu Jinghuai raised an eyebrow slightly. "Anything else?"
His gaze remained fixed on Shen Wenran.
What he couldn't understand was why he could hear this woman's inner thoughts.
Also, what is the reason that this woman knows so much?
What he found most amusing was that even though this woman had many ulterior motives, she didn't reveal them at all.
Shen Wenran comforted herself.
—Shen Wenran, Shen Wenran, don't panic, your wicked mother-in-law will be here soon.
—Your mother-in-law already has a lot of complaints about you. Maybe if you show any more good behavior, she'll encourage her son to divorce you.
—Yes, that's it.
After Shen Wenran finished thinking, she saw Lu Jinghuai staring at her.
She then realized that the room was too quiet.
So she said solicitously, "Honey, you just woke up, are you thirsty? Would you like me to get you a glass of water?"
—What are you looking at? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out.
—I'll make you choke on a glass of water.
Lu Jinghuai suppressed his anger with all his might and said with a slight parting of his thin lips, "No need, I'm afraid you'll choke me to death."
Shen Wenran's heart pounded.
—Is that scoundrel of a man some kind of tapeworm in my stomach?
—Does he know everything I'm thinking?
But she said, "Oh, honey, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I bear to choke you to death? I love you so much I'm crazy. Can't you feel my heart?"
Lu Jinghuai really didn't want to see her.
Does a woman like that still have a heart?
Why isn't he leaving already? What is he waiting for?
It was disgusting before, and it's even more disgusting now.
He said coldly, "I can't feel it."
Shen Wenran muttered under her breath: "Pah, what a dog of a man."
Then he grabbed Lu Jinghuai's hand and placed it on his chest.
"Touch it and see, can you feel it now?"
Before they even touched, Lu Jinghuai withdrew his hand.
Shen Wenran raised an eyebrow.
—You little brat, aren't you supposed to be pretty good?
Lu Jinghuai suffered another heart attack from anger.
However, what Lu Jinghuai didn't know was that while the couple were singing in unison, Ye Nanxing was suffering terribly.
In her opinion, Shen Wenran, that vixen, had completely bewitched Lu Jinghuai.
No, Lu Jinghuai likes her, how could it be this kind of seductive and cheap woman?
Finally, she couldn't help but speak up: "Jinghuai, I think I'll come see you another day."
Ye Nanxing made a move to leave.
However, she had only just reached the door when she heard Madam Lu's voice from outside.
"Jinghuai, how are you feeling now?"
Madam Lu's voice was extremely gentle.
Of course, at first glance, his appearance is also gentle and refined.
But only Shen Wenran knew how much this seemingly gentle and noble rich mother-in-law looked down on her as her daughter-in-law.
The Shen family and the Lu family did have a marriage agreement, but Lu Jinghuai didn't like her at all.
Instead, it was Shen Wenran who had secretly loved him for four years.
She didn't dare confess her feelings because she felt she wasn't good enough for him.
Later, the cannon fodder ex-wife was brought back by the Shen family.
Not only did she discover that she had transformed from an ugly duckling into a swan, but she also learned that she and Lu Jinghuai were engaged.
This made her so happy that she could hardly sleep all night.
She later married Lu Jinghuai as she wished, but she was always difficult and domineering, and was looked down upon by her mother-in-law.
Most importantly, the man she longed for was such a scumbag.
Thinking about these things makes me feel a little down.
—Women, why get married? Isn't it better to stay single? What a waste of four years of unrequited love.
—I have to leave the people who like me and go to a place where no one likes me.
Anyway, after I get divorced, I'll have money, good looks, and plenty of time. I'll definitely eat, drink, have fun, and live a carefree life, becoming an ordinary, useless person.
—Absolutely perfect.
Lu Jinghuai's face darkened even more.
How could he not know these things?
Did she really have a crush on him for four years?
"Jinghuai, why aren't you saying anything?"
Noticing the menacing aura emanating from her son, Madam Lu's expression darkened considerably.
No one knows a son better than his mother, and of course she knew that her son didn't like Shen Wenran.
Even if her son has someone he likes, it has to be someone like Miss Ye.
Gentle and graceful, from a scholarly family.
Most importantly, one must be mindful of the bigger picture and know how to act appropriately.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Shen Wenran and felt even more of a headache.
Lu Jinghuai withdrew his gaze, which fell precisely on his mother's gentle face.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he actually saw a hint of disgust on his mother's face.
But soon, that look disappeared.
Lu Jinghuai felt that this must be his imagination.
Furthermore, the fact that this woman was indeed repulsive, and that the mother was unhappy about it, further proved that his feeling was correct.
So he said calmly, "I'm fine, perfectly fine."
Madam Lu then turned to look at Ye Nanxing.
"Nanxing, look at you, you came straight to see Jinghuai as soon as you got off the plane, you must be tired. Come, sit here and let's talk."
Madam Lu took Ye Nanxing's hand, pulled her to the bedside, and then pressed her to sit on the edge of Lu Jinghuai's bed.
