Chapter 29 Manta Rose, my wife, I've come to pick you up. Let's go back to the house and sleep...
Xia Weiwei's face darkened.
"Weiwei?" Xiao Rongyu called her, bringing her back to her senses.
Xia Weiwei saw that Xiao Rong and Fang Yan were both waiting for her answer.
"You wouldn't really argue with President Lu..." Fang Yan said, then covered her mouth.
Xia Weiwei smiled helplessly: "How could that be? You saw our situation. We're lucky we can even stay in one space."
As they were talking, the three of them caught a glimpse of someone entering the room: Lu Yanzhou.
Xia Weiwei immediately stood up and distanced herself from Xiao Rongyu.
[L: I'm late, I saw you and Xiao Rongyu's heads touching.]
No, there was at least three centimeters between the two of them just now.
[L: So when we get home tonight, you have to kiss me for three minutes.]
Extortion!
Xia Weiwei glanced quickly at Lu Yanzhou; his face was indeed filled with deep dissatisfaction.
The big, furious dog will cause a huge uproar if it's not calmed down.
Xia Weiwei replied with a smile, then looked at Lu Yanzhou. His smile was the same as the death smile emoji she had sent, with a slightly creepy feel to it.
Xia Weiwei found a picture of a dog with its fur standing on end online and changed it to her WeChat background image with Lu Yanzhou.
Hmm, much more pleasing to the eye.
"Sometimes I wonder if President Lu doesn't have a job? Why does he always manage to come and monitor our filming?" Fang Yan said, puzzled, when the director cued her.
Xia Weiwei testified that he had a job and that he would work overtime until very late when he returned to the hotel.
She didn't understand either; maybe he just liked acting.
On this day, she and Xiao Rong had no intimate contact in the play, nor in real life.
Finally, I can get through the day safely, and I don't have to be pinned down on the bed and kissed by Lu Yanzhou like I did last night.
That evening, after Xia Weiwei finished tidying up, she lay in bed and watched the group chat discussing the wrap party.
I want to have a barbecue, preferably a camping barbecue.
You're dreaming! That would cost a fortune, and we don't have the budget for that.
【You can also go to the mountains. Look at this cliffside hotel; you can see a waterfall cascading down from your room.】
Xia Weiwei clicked on the link, "Shifang Hotel invites you to check in," with a waterfall cascading down in the background, reminding her of the birthday she had been disturbed by Gu Xianyue.
She didn't read what was said in the group chat after that. When Lu Yanzhou returned, she quickly exited the page.
"What have you done behind my back again? What have you done to betray me?" Lu Yanzhou glanced at her from the bed.
"Guess." Xia Weiwei raised an eyebrow with a smug look on her face.
Lu Yanzhou stared straight at her. The next second, he grabbed her arm and pulled her forward, her face pressed against his abs without any obstruction.
He had just washed, and it had his usual scent. As soon as she opened her mouth, he would bite down on the bulging muscle.
It smells so good...
Xia Weiwei's mouth opened uncontrollably, and an A4 sheet of paper was stuck to the back of her head.
What is it?
Xia Weiwei slowly turned around, saw the contents of the A4 paper, and then sprang up.
Mr. Lu, according to the statistics, in this TV series, Teacher Xia and Teacher Xiao touched shoulders 40 times, for a total of 20 minutes, held hands 240 times, for a total of 187 minutes, and kissed once, for a total of one second.
"Wife, let's start settling your accounts."
Does she even want to sleep tonight?
However, she has a get-out-of-jail-free card.
She's pregnant, so Lu Yanzhou definitely wouldn't let her stay up all night at this hour.
"Wife, there's plenty of time. Go to sleep when it's time."
Xia Weiwei: "..."
She lay on the bed, feeling utterly hopeless. Lu Yanzhou climbed over, pinched her lips, and kissed her.
It's time to deliver the grain again. I'm so tired.
However, Lu Yanzhou was very affectionate. She wrapped her arms around his neck without him noticing, and they entwined with each other until the man's eyes turned dark.
"You really don't want my help?" Xia Weiwei paused for three seconds before looking away as she spoke.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Lu Yanzhou pressed his lips to her forehead, the burning heat sending a shiver through her body.
He reacts to every kiss and insists on being kissed again.
Xia Weiwei also wanted it, but she was too embarrassed to ask Lu Yanzhou to help her like last time. Her slender, pale fingers lingered as they slid over Lu Yanzhou's iron arm.
When Lu Yanzhou returned, he was surprised to see the girl sleeping.
It's 10:20, a little early.
September 28th was the day Xia Weiwei finished filming.
At the breakfast table, Xia Weiwei's eyes followed Lu Yanzhou as he went in and out. Finally, Lu Yanzhou sat down at the table.
"Did you know that I finished filming today?" Xia Weiwei asked bluntly.
Lu Yanzhou didn't respond, but put an egg in her bowl.
Xia Weiwei frowned. Lu Yanzhou knew she didn't eat eggs. She picked up the egg to return it to Lu Yanzhou, but he pressed his chopsticks down on top of hers.
"I fried this egg before, and the heat was just right. You should try it."
She pursed her lips, half believing and half doubting, thought for a long time, then opened her mouth. It really smelled good! There was no fishy smell from boiled eggs.
"It's delicious, isn't it?" Lu Yanzhou raised an eyebrow, his face beaming with smugness, as if he was admiring his own handsomeness once again.
"How did you know I could eat fried eggs, especially fried them until they were all scraggly on both sides?"
"Eggs are essential nutrients, and since you're pregnant, you absolutely must eat eggs."
From childhood to the present, she has almost never eaten eggs, because no one would go to the trouble of making her eat eggs.
Xia Weiwei couldn't help but smile. Then, when Lu Yanzhou dropped her off at the film set and said he might be a bit busy today, she understood that Lu Yanzhou wouldn't be coming today.
Xia Weiwei smiled and saw him off, saying, "It's alright, you can go ahead with your work."
"Is President Lu really not coming?" Xiaoya couldn't help but ask as she and Xia Weiwei walked towards the dressing room.
Since Lu Yanzhou has said so, he definitely won't come.
Xia Weiwei nodded.
"Then, Weiwei, will you be sad?" Xiaoya asked cautiously.
Xia Weiwei shook her head again: "No."
I'm used to it.
Xiaoya didn't say anything more.
Xia Weiwei and Xiao Rongyu finished filming at the same time, while Fang Yan finished an hour earlier than them.
When Fang Yan finished filming, Xia Weiwei gave her a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, the director and staff gave her a bouquet of flowers, and Xiao Rongyu gave her a small cake.
Fang Yan excitedly hugged Xia Weiwei: "Weiwei, you're too generous! You've spent so much money."
"I had a great time filming with you, and you deserve my gift."
Fang Yan burst into tears. At first, she thought Xia Weiwei would be difficult to get along with, after all, she was a top-tier celebrity, what was she? But on her first day, she couldn't find her place. Xia Weiwei patted the stool next to her and told her to sit down.
They sat there and filmed the whole movie.
"Don't cry, we'll have more opportunities to work together in the future," Xia Weiwei said, wiping away Fang Yan's tears with her thumb.
Fang Yan knew perfectly well that it was over. So many people had acted with Xia Weiwei, and then never saw her again. However, she was already very content to have acted with her.
After Fang Yan put on the necklace, she took out her phone to check the effect. When she saw a message in the group chat, she exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
"Weiwei, Mr. Lu is so generous. He actually invited us and all the staff to the Shifang Hotel."
Shifang Hotel?
Xia Weiwei felt the name was somewhat familiar.
She opened her phone and saw that the director had tagged everyone, saying that President Lu was inviting the entire crew to the Shifang Hotel for two days and one night.
Is it true? [Picking nose]
Some people hesitated, and several comments followed asking if it was true or not.
[Lu Yanzhou: It's true. I'll check in early the day after tomorrow and return the night after that.]
The lively group chat suddenly fell silent.
No, when did President Lu join the group chat?
This is terrifying!
Sometimes the staff would joke with the director, and these jokes would include Lu Yanzhou, complaining that he wouldn't let them film this or that, saying things like, "No wonder he's a capitalist, if he's so capable, he should film it himself," and so on.
Mr. Lu must have just joined us.
[Lu Yanzhou: I've been in the group the whole time, but I wasn't using my real name back then]
Great, everyone's worries are finally over.
That's terrifying.
Xia Weiwei watched as the group chat quieted down again, and she smiled silently, yet couldn't quite manage a smile.
Fang Yan's family knew that she had finished filming, so they came to give her flowers.
"Mom and Dad, I'm just playing an ordinary role, there's no need to be so happy."
"There are no small roles, all roles are good, my Yan Yan is awesome!"
What a happy family.
Xia Weiwei's smile was tinged with bitterness; she had never tasted such happiness before.
"Teacher Xia, it's time for us to perform the last scene," Xiao Rongyu whispered a reminder from the side.
Xia Weiwei nodded.
The last scene is when she goes back to her hometown with Xiao Rongyu to have a reunion dinner with her family.
The camera finally focused on the family's faces, and with the director's clap, her filming was over.
Congratulations, Teacher Xia!
Congratulations, Teacher Xia!
...
Congratulations, Teacher Xia!
Amidst congratulatory kisses, Xia Weiwei smiled as she accepted the bouquet, took photos with everyone, thanked them for their hard work, and then boarded her RV.
“Baby, even though Daddy couldn’t come, you’re here with Mommy as we wrap up filming.”
Xia Weiwei placed her palm on her belly, trying to feel the pulse of life. However, the baby was still too small, and she couldn't feel anything. Disappointment gradually spread in her eyes.
"Weiwei, come out quickly, everyone is waiting for you to eat cake," Xiaoya called from outside.
"They're here."
She closed her eyes for a couple of seconds, then opened them again to see the radiant Xia Weiwei.
She opened the RV door, and the first thing to appear was Manta Rose.
There were so many manta roses that they were wider than her body. How many manta roses were there? The light purple color turned into a deep purple due to the sheer number of them, becoming her support color.
Behind the sea of purple flowers was a face that was impeccably handsome.
"Happy wrap-up, my dear wife."
Lu Yanzhou suddenly appeared.
Didn't you say you were busy?
Xia Weiwei's heart was instantly filled to overflowing.
For the first time, she disregarded everything and didn't care if anyone saw her, and rushed towards Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou caught her steadily and rubbed his face against hers.
"This is such a pleasant surprise! If I were to bring out the second gift I prepared, would you burst into tears?"
It was Lu Yanzhou's usual arrogance, but at this moment, that arrogance made her feel incredibly happy.
"That depends on what gift you've prepared." Xia Weiwei composed herself and tried to stand up straight, but Lu Yanzhou grabbed her and pulled her close to his chest.
"The gift is in my left trouser pocket, take it yourself."
Xia Weiwei's face was held down by Lu Yanzhou, preventing her from looking down; she could only grope around haphazardly.
"Tsk, even if you're my wife, be careful in broad daylight."
The man's playful voice landed on her neck, and when she thought of the solid, hard object she had just touched, her face flushed.
It wasn't intentional; she couldn't see it.
She moved her little hand to the left and finally touched her pocket. She reached inside and felt a small box.
The box was opened, and inside lay a small angel carved from white crystal, its wings shimmering with iridescent light in the sunlight.
"Gu Xianyue, I wish you the courage to shine brightly every day in the future."
He said that Gu Xianyue should be herself.
He said, "Gu Xianyue, don't be afraid."
He said that Gu Xianyue has a bright future ahead of her.
At that moment, Lu Yanzhou finally let go of her.
The man's fingers traced her long hair, then circled around her neck.
After putting on the necklace, he even fiddled with the little angel's wings with his fingers.
"If I can't wear my wedding ring, I can at least wear this necklace, right?"
Xia Weiwei nodded with sparkling eyes, then lowered her head and saw that Lu Yanzhou was wearing the ring she had given him, and that he had put the ring on the ring finger of his right hand.
He's very perceptive.
I knew it was a wedding ring she gave me.
The smile on her lips widened as she got a clearer view of the wound on Lu Yanzhou's fingers.
Xia Weiwei grasped Lu Yanzhou's hand and raised it: "How did you get hurt?"
"What, are you feeling sorry for him?" Lu Yanzhou was nonchalant, clearly not taking the wound to heart.
Xia Weiwei was serious and anxious. His fingers were covered in cuts, and judging from the severity of the injuries, they were fresh.
Xia Weiwei wanted to take a closer look, so she pulled Lu Yanzhou's finger closer, but Lu Yanzhou pulled it away immediately.
"What's so special about my hands?"
She knew what it was!
She looked at the large bunch of manta roses in Lu Yanzhou's arms, the thorns of the roses.
These roses were picked by Lu Yanzhou himself!
Without asking, Xia Weiwei and Lu Yanzhou locked eyes and knew what each other was thinking.
Lu Yanzhou sighed: "How come you're so smart about this kind of thing, but so slow to understand other things?"
It really was him who picked them!
"You said you were busy today, so you were busy picking roses?"
Lu Yanzhou nodded: "You don't like the manta flowers I bought from the flower shop, but you seem to like the roses I picked."
The manta roses he mailed back from Edinburgh last time have all dried on the coffee table; she can't bear to throw them away.
"Xia Weiwei, you like the roses I picked, don't you like them too...?"
Lu Yanzhou was about to utter the word "I," but thinking of his rejection on June 10th and looking into the girl's clear and bright eyes, he swallowed the word back.
"What?" Xia Weiwei pressed.
"You also like the necklace and ring I gave you?"
Isn't it a bit too late to ask now? She's already wearing it around her neck.
Just as Xia Weiwei was about to answer, Lu Yanzhou covered her lips, his handsome face close to hers: "No need to answer, your expression already tells me that you like it very much."
That's true, but please don't be so narcissistic.
"Even if you don't like it, Xia Weiwei, you have to accept it."
As Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, the manta rose was placed in her arms.
Why the sudden change of expression? She's always liked him.
Xia Weiwei instructed Xiaoya to have everyone cut the cake first, and that she would come after applying the medicine to Lu Yanzhou.
Xiaoya smiled and said, "The director hasn't said anything about cutting the cake yet, so there's no rush."
Xia Weiwei suddenly realized what was happening, and glared at Xiaoya shyly. Xiaoya ran away with a grin.
"Don't blame her, I made her say it."
She glanced at Lu Yanzhou again, and she knew that Lu Yanzhou had already bribed Xiaoya.
Xia Weiwei applied some medicine to Lu Yanzhou's finger, and the two arrived at the film set one after the other.
Everyone in the crew greeted Lu Yanzhou with smiles.
"Are you going to the Shifang Hotel the day after tomorrow, Mr. Lu?" the director asked.
"Go."
Everyone listened intently, but upon hearing this answer, their spirits instantly sank, though they didn't show it on their faces.
With a major sponsor involved, how could things possibly go smoothly?
"However, I'm probably not in the same district as everyone else."
"Oh right, President Lu must be in the VIP area," everyone cheered.
Xia Weiwei could see the obvious changes in everyone, let alone Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou acted swiftly. While they were talking, Zhang Quan announced the room type in the group chat: a double bed.
When Xia Weiwei saw the double bed, Fang Yan was the first person she thought of.
Just as she was about to tell Fang Yan, Zhang Quan's message came through simultaneously.
[Zhang Quan: Madam, your room number is 7701, you are sharing a room with President Lu.]
Xia Weiwei: "..."
"Weiwei, can we share a room?" Fang Yan asked while she was digesting the information.
Xia Weiwei couldn't refuse, because refusing would arouse Fang Yan's suspicion.
She glanced at Lu Yanzhou, who was talking to the director, and agreed.
Lu Yanzhou knew that Xia Weiwei wouldn't be living with him when Fang Yan took Xia Weiwei's ID card to register during check-in.
【L: ? 】
Xia Weiwei felt her phone vibrate and immediately realized who had sent the message.
The person who sent the message was glaring at her with a fierce look in their eyes.
【L: ? ? 】
L: I don't need a reason.
L: Tonight, you have to stay with me!
L: I didn't give you a choice.
After being bombarded with messages, Fang Yan noticed something amiss with her phone.
"Weiwei, your phone is ringing," Fang Yan reminded her.
She knows!
Xia Weiwei chuckled guiltily and turned away.
[Manta Rose: My dear husband, let me sleep with Fang Yan, just for one night. I'll sleep with you when I get back.]
[Manta Rose: My husband is the best! The best husband in the world. If my husband let me sleep with Fang Yan, I would love him to death!]
Lu Yanzhou's fingers stopped.
Seeing that Lu Yanzhou hadn't sent any more messages, Xia Weiwei gave him a sweet smile. Her husband was just so understanding.
Lu Yanzhou returned Xia Weiwei's smile.
After checking in, Xia Weiwei carried her small suitcase and followed the signs. Xiao Rongyu tried to take her luggage, but she quickly protected him.
“Teacher Xiao, I can carry it myself, so I won’t trouble you.”
"Don't mention it, Weiwei. I've helped you with your suitcase before, and besides, we don't need to be so formal, do we?"
"No need to trouble you, Ms. Xiao. My assistant will help the two ladies with their suitcases."
Zhang Quan smiled and said, "Yes."
Xia Weiwei didn't intend to give it to Zhang Quan, but she knew that if she didn't, Lu Yanzhou might come and help her.
After much deliberation, she still gave it to Zhang Quan. Before Fang Yan could figure out what was going on, Zhang Quan had already taken her suitcase.
Spending two days and one night on the mountain, and wearing summer clothes, won't be too heavy at all.
Xia Weiwei and Fang Yan returned to their room and thanked Zhang Quan. Zhang Quan politely replied that it was his duty and then sent a message to Lu Yanzhou. While waiting for the elevator, they heard Xiao Rongyu having someone arrange candles and flowers.
"Teacher Xiao, are you about to confess your feelings to someone?" Zhang Quan asked.
Xiao Rongyu nodded and pressed further, "What is the relationship between President Lu and Teacher Xia?"
This Teacher Xiao isn't very bright. He's Lu Yanzhou's man, and he knows what kind of relationship Lu Yanzhou has with Xia Weiwei, but he wouldn't say it. Yet he actually came to ask.
"Isn't it just like everyone sees, like fire and water?" Zhang Quan paused, then asked, "Teacher Xiao, are you going to confess your feelings to Teacher Xia?"
Xiao Rong hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Do you think it can succeed?"
"I think it's possible. If you really can't figure out what Teacher Xia likes, you can ask President Lu for his opinion. After all, the one who knows the other party best is their enemy."
May I ask?
"Of course, Mr. Lu has a good temper. You should ask when there are the most people around. I think Mr. Lu will answer all your questions without hesitation."
Just as Zhang Quan finished speaking, the elevator arrived, and he considerately got off.
Xiao Rongyu waited for the elevator to come up again, received the gift he had prepared, and went back to her room.
In the morning, everyone rested. At noon, the hotel had a buffet lunch, and Lu Yanzhou was generous, even opening the VIP area to them.
In the afternoon, you are free to do whatever you want. If you want to go hiking, go; if not, there are many indoor recreational facilities available, and you won't be able to enjoy them all.
That evening, when everyone went out for dinner, Xiao Rongyu thought about Zhang Quan's words, analyzed Xia Weiwei and Lu Yanzhou's situation, and then analyzed his relationship with Lu Yanzhou before going to ask him.
"Mr. Lu, I want to confess my feelings to Ms. Xia. Do you have any objections?"
This guy is brain-dead.
The bloodlust faded from Lu Yanzhou's gentle peach blossom eyes, leaving them gloomy and somber, as if a colorful flower were enveloped by blood-red vines.
"She won't agree."
Xiao Rongyu frowned: "President Lu, you are not qualified to make decisions for Teacher Xia."
Lu Yanzhou sneered.
Xiao Rongyu turned to leave, but upon hearing Lu Yanzhou's hushed voice, she trembled.
"I'm her husband, do you think I don't have the right to make decisions for her?"
? ? ?
Xiao Rongyu turned her head stiffly.
"Impossible, Vivi won't..."
Do you need to see the marriage certificate?
It was a lie, after all; nobody carries their ID card with them all the time.
Then, he saw Lu Yanzhou take a red booklet out of his right trouser pocket.
That's outrageous.
On the red marriage certificate, there was a stamp on the photo of Lu Yanzhou and Xia Weiwei.
The date is July 1st.
Xia Weiwei and Lu Yanzhou got their marriage certificate on July 1st of this year.
Xiao Rong and the sky collapsed.
"If you dare confess your love to my wife, I'll sue you for destroying someone else's marriage and family, and I'll ruin you."
As Lu Yanzhou was speaking, he saw someone trying to toast Xia Weiwei, but Xia Weiwei refused. However, the person, who was drunk, insisted that Xia Weiwei drink.
"Drink my ass, drink!" Lu Yanzhou snatched the man's wine glass and splashed it on him.
The man fully regained consciousness, quickly apologized, and ran out.
Lu Yanzhou stared at the man with a gloomy expression, about to chase after him, when Xia Weiwei placed her hand on his arm. With just one look, Lu Yanzhou stopped in his tracks.
Xiao Rongyu witnessed the whole thing and was momentarily stunned. Although they were arguing fiercely, Lu Yanzhou was willing to listen to Xia Weiwei.
Lu Yanzhou glanced at Xiao Rongyu out of the corner of his eye, thinking, "Even like this, she dares to confess to Weiwei."
After dinner, Lu Yanzhou urgently needed to hold a video conference. Xia Weiwei said she wanted to go out with Fang Yan, but Lu Yanzhou was worried and didn't plan to let her go.
Xia Weiwei stared at him with a resentful look in her eyes; he really had no temper.
"It's agreed that you'll send me a photo every ten minutes."
Lately, she has been verbally responding to some unfair contracts, and Lu Yanzhou has even put on a victim's act.
Xia Weiwei agreed, and Lu Yanzhou reluctantly released the person.
"My husband is so good." Xia Weiwei quickly kissed Lu Yanzhou's cheek. Lu Yanzhou wanted to deepen the kiss, but when he turned his head, he could only see the girl's back.
That's just childish.
Xia Weiwei and Fang Yan planned to play billiards. On the way, Fang Yan suddenly had a stomachache, and Xia Weiwei waited for Fang Yan at the bathroom door.
"Weiwei, can you come with me somewhere? I have something I want to tell you." Xiao Rongyu walked over from not far away.
Xia Weiwei looked at the bathroom, and Xiao Rongyu said again, "I spoke to Fang Yan, and she said she could lend you to me."
I want to give you a gift.
Xiao Rongyu prepared a gift, but she did not.
"No need to give me a gift, Teacher Xiao takes good care of me."
Xiao Rongyu just smiled and gestured for her to follow. Fang Yan also sent a message saying that she needed a while and asked her to go with Teacher Xiao first, and that she would come to find them when she was ready.
Xia Weiwei saw that Xiao Rongyu really had something to say, so she responded.
Xiao Rongyu led her to the outdoor balcony.
As soon as Xia Weiwei entered, she saw a heart-shaped candle on the balcony, with nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses in the center.
She had seen this scene before, downstairs in her university dormitory.
"Weiwei, do you like it?"
If Lu Yanzhou were here, he wouldn't care whether she liked it or not; he would simply put what he considered the best thing into her arms.
Xiao Rongyu stood behind the roses, took out a box containing a ring, and just as he was about to kneel down on one knee, Xia Weiwei quickly ran over to help him up.
"Teacher Xiao, this is no good, this is no good."
Xiao Rong reached out to grasp Xia Weiwei's hand, but Xia Weiwei quickly pulled her hand away.
"Weiwei, I..."
"Teacher Xiao, I don't like you, and I've already accepted someone else's ring."
Xia Weiwei's eyes were brimming with love, but this love was not for Xiao Rongyu.
"Did you marry Lu Yanzhou because of the baby in your belly?"
Xia Weiwei's pupils dilated in shock. How did Xiao Rongyu know?!
“Weiwei, given your personality, if someone toasts you at the wrap party, you'll drink even if you don't want to. But you clearly refused just now, and lately you haven't even been drinking milk tea.”
"Most importantly, your hands are always on your belly, like a mother protecting her baby, just like my sister's early pregnancy symptoms."
"Besides, I just blew you up, and obviously, your reaction tells me you're pregnant."
"Will you tell the media?" Xia Weiwei asked worriedly.
“Weiwei, I don’t mind being the child’s father. Choose me; I’m more suitable for you than Lu Yanzhou.” Xiao Rongyu took two steps closer.
Xia Weiwei tried to push Xiao Rongyu, but Xiao Rongyu used all his strength and she couldn't push him away at all.
"Xiao Rongyu, last time you asked me if I liked Lu Yanzhou."
Xiao Rongyu's heart sank.
I lied.
"I like Lu Yanzhou!" the girl declared firmly, her eyes sparkling.
"But Lu Yanzhou is only nice to you because of the baby in your belly. After the baby is born, he won't..."
"Teacher Xiao, you are really cruel." Xia Weiwei murmured gently, and Xiao Rong stopped talking abruptly.
"How could I not know?" Xia Weiwei said, hanging her head dejectedly.
The two of them were so at odds before, but now he treats her incredibly well, and she always knew where the change was.
"But if you like someone, does liking someone necessarily mean you have to get a response from the other person?"
"Liking something can be my own business."
"Besides, it's me who likes him, not the other way around, and he didn't do anything wrong."
For some people, having them for a short time is enough to make them happy.
Unlike Li Xue, she wouldn't cling to Lu Yanzhou relentlessly. After the baby was born, she made a pact with Lu Yanzhou to end things, and she would disappear from his world with the baby.
After that, he remained the privileged young master of the Lu family, and she remained a dazzling female star.
Xia Weiwei will maintain the dignity of her affections.
Xiao Rongyu clearly saw the deep affection in the girl's eyes; it was too late.
He glanced behind him and said, "Let me help you this once."
What?
Xia Weiwei didn't understand Xiao Rongyu's words. Xiao Rongyu forcefully tried to pull her into his arms. She couldn't struggle against him. Suddenly, her hand was grabbed, and with a strong pull, she was dragged out of Xiao Rongyu's arms and fell into a familiar embrace.
It was Lu Yanzhou.
Before she could even look up, Lu Yanzhou punched Xiao Rongyu in the face.
Xiao Rongyu was caught off guard and fell onto the wooden board.
"You dare touch my wife? You've got a death wish!"
Lu Yanzhou's eyes swept over her entire body with a deep gaze: "Where else did he touch you?"
Xia Weiwei had a premonition that as long as she mentioned hand, Lu Yanzhou would be able to stomp Xiao Rongyu's hand.
"No, Teacher Xiao just wanted to chat with me."
Xia Weiwei winked at Xiao Rongyu, not wanting to reveal her feelings.
Xiao Rong brushed the dust off her clothes and stood up: "Lu Yanzhou, I confessed my feelings, but Weiwei rejected me. You're lucky, but I won't give up. If you dare to let Weiwei down, I will definitely..."
"Keep dreaming. I don't need your guidance. I will never let Weiwei down in this lifetime!"
Xia Weiwei's heart tightened, her gaze burning with the man's unwavering determination.
I wish this were real, but unfortunately, Lu Yanzhou was just acting.
Xia Weiwei tried her best to hold Lu Yanzhou's big hand tightly with her small hand.
"Teacher Xiao, we will be happy."
Lu Yanzhou's anger subsided instantly upon feeling the force in the girl's palm.
He glanced at their clasped hands, then changed to interlocking their fingers, raised them high, and showed them to Xiao Rongyu as if he were showing off to a child.
Xiao Rong smiled, said nothing, and left.
"Tch, using cliché red roses for a confession? Ah Yue, my manta roses are much prettier, aren't they?"
Lu Yanzhou called to have the red roses removed, but Xia Weiwei tried to stop him. Lu Yanzhou's face darkened: "What, do you really like red roses?"
"You're not allowed to like it!" Lu Yanzhou raised his hand to pinch her cheek, but she blocked it with her arm and lazily replied, "Okay."
"Aren't you in a video conference?" Xia Weiwei suddenly realized.
“I told them that someone was being ungrateful and wanted to confess their love to my wife, and asked them to wait a while.”
"How did you know Xiao Rongyu was going to confess to me?" Xia Weiwei was now somewhat used to Lu Yanzhou's habit of telling everyone everything.
"Gu Xianyue, Shifang Hotel is my, oh no, it's my family's property."
He would naturally know immediately if something happened to his own business.
"How did Lu Yanzhou know we were getting married?" Xia Weiwei pressed on.
"I said it," someone said proudly. Xia Weiwei, feeling helpless, wanted to tell him if he knew what a secret marriage was, but then she heard Lu Yanzhou say—
"I only used 520 red roses to confess my love, but the manta roses I gave you that afternoon totaled 1,314."
1314, for a lifetime.
Xia Weiwei seemed to be trying to glean something from Lu Yanzhou's eyes, and she even heard Lu Yanzhou say, "Poor wretch."
Xia Weiwei: "..."
Is this a matter of being poor or not?
“Xia Weiwei, you can’t be with him, and you can’t fall in love with him. He can’t support you, and he won’t support you properly.”
His focus is so strange.
Xia Weiwei didn't want to talk to Lu Yanzhou anymore; she really wanted to go find Fang Yan.
She had barely left when Lu Yanzhou picked her up in his arms.
"This is outside, put me down quickly, what if someone sees us?"
Xia Weiwei patted Lu Yanzhou's chest anxiously.
"I only let you leave for a short while, and you've already attracted so many suitors. Do you think I'll let you go again?"
Xia Weiwei thought of Lu Yanzhou's scandals; he was the one who attracted all sorts of attention.
Inside the room, Lu Yanzhou was in a meeting while she was scrolling through her tablet. During the meeting, she explained to Fang Yan that her best friend had come to visit her, so she had to go out for a while. Fang Yan then stopped asking questions.
At 10 p.m., Xia Weiwei got up, and Lu Yanzhou looked straight at her.
"I want to go back and sleep with Fang Yan, you promised me."
Lu Yanzhou didn't speak, and Xia Weiwei took it as a yes, kissed his cheek, and strolled away.
At 10:15 p.m., the doorbell rang. Fang Yan opened the door and was taken aback when she saw Lu Yanzhou.
"Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yanzhou nodded, tilting his chin slightly inward.
"I've come to pick up my wife so we can go back to sleep."
Wife?!
His wife isn't in this room.
"Xia Weiwei".
Fang Yan: "!"
"If you don't believe me, I can show you our marriage certificate," Lu Yanzhou said with an innocent smile.
Fang Yan stared at the red certificate, her mind went blank, and she completely lost control of her facial expressions.
At this moment, Xia Weiwei came out after washing up. Lu Yanzhou waved to her and smiled 'exceptionally' gently: "Wife, I've come to pick you up. Let's go back to the room and sleep."

Author's Note: Lu Yanzhou: Sorry, I haven't learned what secret marriage is, but my people have to sleep with me!
