Chapter 227 The Retired Emperor and His Little Wife (Bonus Chapter 2)
They made a bet at the sports meet, and Lü Wang lost. He had to follow the bet and call Gao Ling "Emperor Emeritus" every time he saw her. Gao Ling actually still remembered something that happened so many years ago.
Lu Wang had the misfortune of running into this icy-faced woman when he went to the dentist. Gao Ling, while holding the whirring machine, said, "I think you should remember what to call me."
As Lü Wang listened to the machine's sounds, she felt a sharp pain on half her face. She had no choice but to be pragmatic and reluctantly address her as "Empress Dowager!"
That woman is so petty!
But now Lü Wang pretended to have forgotten about it. She ignored Gao Ling and instead focused her scrutinizing gaze on Lu Yuan.
Lü Wang narrowed his eyes.
Everyone knows that Gao Ling got married, because she posted a photo of herself holding hands with a man on her WeChat Moments, and both of them were wearing wedding rings, which can be considered an official announcement.
Gao Ling is not a person who likes crowds, and it is said that her mysterious husband is not a person who likes crowds either. The two got their marriage certificate and went abroad for their honeymoon without even having a wedding banquet.
Some people have said, "Weddings should always have a sense of ceremony, right? It's really unreasonable that the two of them didn't even have a wedding banquet."
But their life is their own, and if they themselves feel there's nothing wrong with it, then others have even less right to comment.
Having worked for several years, Lü Wang's professional instincts kicked in, and she guessed a bit about what was going on when she saw Lu Yuan and Gao Ling interacting. Now, after observing Lu Yuan more closely, she guessed even more.
After all, men's and women's skeletons always look different.
Lu Wang clicked her tongue twice. She hadn't expected Gao Ling to have this kind of taste. However, looking at Lu Yuan's innocent and naive appearance, she still felt that Lu Yuan was more likely to be deceived by Gao Ling.
Lu Wangqing cleared her throat and said in a businesslike manner, "This gentleman... um, this lady."
Looking at Lu Yuan, who was even more beautiful than a woman, Lü Wang subconsciously changed her form of address. She said, "If you have been deceived, such as in a marriage fraud, or if you have experienced domestic violence (including emotional abuse), you can choose to call the police."
Lu Yuan said seriously, "Lingling is very good to me. I was not tricked into marriage."
Lü Wang felt a little regretful that he couldn't cause trouble for Gao Ling.
Gao Ling said coldly, "I heard you don't even have a boyfriend. If someone with a troubled family comes to you for help, can you handle it properly?"
Lü Wang's expression changed.
Yes, she has never been in a relationship over the years. Her family and colleagues have all tried to introduce her to potential partners, but the attempts always end in failure due to various problems.
Lü Wang can tolerate others calling her a single dog, but she absolutely cannot tolerate Gao Ling saying that about her, because she feels that Gao Ling is definitely making fun of her on purpose!
Lu Wang crossed his arms, looking arrogant. "So what if you found a pretty girl? What's so great about that?"
Gao Ling said, "Not everyone can find such a beautiful partner. I am truly remarkable."
Lu Yuan's eyes sparkled. To her, Gao Ling's words were a compliment. Indeed, Gao Ling felt very proud to have her as her partner!
Lu Wang couldn't come up with a single rebuttal, because from a factual standpoint, she had indeed lost to Gao Ling by a large margin.
"Ice Face, you just wait, I'll find someone soon!" With that, Lü Wang's phone rang. She answered and quickly replied, "Yes, I understand, I'll be there soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Lü Wang said to Gao Ling, "You just wait!"
She turned something as simple as finding a partner into some kind of war!
Lü Wang must have received some kind of mission; she came and went in a hurry, disappearing from sight in no time.
Lu Yuan looked at Gao Ling with pleading eyes, "Lingling, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Gao Ling finally looked at her properly, "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Lu Yuan was very polite, saying, "I shouldn't have gone out so late by myself and made you worry about me."
Not long ago, Gao Ling woke up in the middle of the night and found that the person next to her was gone. She went out to look for her, but saw Lu Yuan being harassed by two drunk men.
Of course, Lu Yuan dealt with the two people all by herself, but she ran out late at night without saying a word, and given that she looked so likely to get into trouble, Gao Ling naturally got angry.
Gao Ling only wanted to teach Lu Yuan a lesson so she would remember it; she never intended to really give her the cold shoulder. She softened her tone and said, "There won't be a next time."
Lu Yuan pursed her lips, seemingly keeping some thoughts to herself that she didn't dare to voice.
Gao Ling asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Lu Yuan said, "But you're having a hard time while pregnant. If I can't even buy you the food you want, then I'm really useless."
Gao Ling's eyes showed surprise.
It wasn't long ago that Gao Ling went to the hospital for a checkup and confirmed that she was one month pregnant. Leaving aside Lu Yuan's silly behavior, thinking back carefully, she seemed to have said that she had no appetite that night and just wanted to eat oranges.
But it was just something she said casually, and she forgot about it as soon as she said it.
Lu Yuan secretly slipped out while she was asleep. It wasn't the season for oranges, and it was nighttime, making them even harder to buy.
Gao Ling sighed softly and took Lu Yuan's hand. "Let's go home."
Lu Yuan grasped her hand in return, but still hesitated, "Aren't you going to the class reunion?"
"Haven't you had a good night's sleep for days?" Gao Ling said as she walked, holding his hand. "The class reunion isn't as important as you."
Moreover, if she hadn't shown up, Xia Zhen would have already come up with an excuse for not going back and told it to others.
Lu Yuan's beautiful eyes immediately lit up with joy. She obediently followed Gao Ling and whispered, "Lingling."
Gao Ling: "Hmm?"
"Don't you think I'm a hassle?"
"meeting."
Lu Yuan's expression immediately fell, making her look like a pitiful little girl who had suffered a great injustice.
Gao Ling: "But I quite like trouble."
Lu Yuan suddenly seemed to regain her vitality and became happy, "Lingling, I will work hard to earn money to support you and the baby!"
"Before making money, perhaps we should consider this question first."
Lu Yuan asked, "What's the problem?"
Gao Ling looked up at her, "What should we call our baby after it's born?"
Lu Yuan was stunned.
This is indeed a huge problem!
