Chapter 34: She Truly Loves Lu Yanshen

The wronged Xie Wantang was suddenly filled with a burst of ghost fire.

With the ghost fire rising in her head, she naturally didn't notice the worry that flashed and vanished in Lu Yanshen's eyes.

He was worrying for Xie Wantang.

Whether he loves Xie Wantang or not, and regardless of what their future relationship will be, after all, Xie Wantang has been his wife for three years; out of this sense of loyalty, he doesn't want her to be hurt.

Perhaps…

Lu Yanshen was just about to explain when a knock came from the door; it was their private steward: "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, there's a lady named Xu Yanqiu downstairs looking for Mrs. Lu."

Qiuqiu's here?

Xie Wantang pushed Lu Yanshen away forcefully, but Lu Yanshen instantly grabbed her back with his other hand—his reaction was lightning fast.

"In ten minutes, go bring her up," Lu Yanshen replied first to the private steward waiting at the door.

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

"I didn't tell you to go along with him; the house, since I let you tear it down, is torn down and no one can stop it. But you must remember what I just said— even if he comes to you on his own, you may refuse if you can, but you cannot refuse to call me."

"Ha, call you? Can you answer anytime, anywhere?" Xie Wantang laughed in irritation.

"If I can't answer, it'll be forwarded to Pei Xiao's phone, and Pei Xiao will help you handle it."

"…"

Xie Wantang stared at him; Lu Yanshen's expression was serious, but she didn't understand at all what mood he was in today.

"Fine, I agree."

Finally, Xie Wantang relented.

"I guarantee this is the first and last time I meet Lu Yanze alone, but I want to ask one more thing: does this rule apply only to Lu Yanze, or to every member of the Lu Family except you?"

"What about that unlikable mother‑in‑law of mine? And that spoiled Lu Rourou?"

"Currently it only applies to Lu Yanze," Lu Yanshen replied.

"…"

Xie Wantang understood.

Ten minutes later, the private steward went downstairs to fetch Xu Yanqiu, and Lu Yanshen returned to his room to change into a suit.

When he came out, Lu Yanshen was full of vigor.

He was strikingly handsome, a natural hanger, a walking hormone.

Xie Wantang didn't want to stare at him like a lustful ghost, but she couldn't control herself.

After all, back then, Lu Yanshen sat in a wheelchair, at her disposal; at first, Lu Yanshen was very thin, pure skinny, a complete rib‑frame.

She truly loved Lu Yanshen; even when he was that skinny, so unattractive, she didn't despise him. At that time, he was so unappealing and had hardly any flesh, yet she could still lay a hand on him.

Moreover, now, after three years of her careful care, he is all muscle, full of strength.

"How about we have your best friend come another day?" Lu Yanshen said suddenly after putting on his wristwatch.

His tone contained an unmasked teasing.

"On what… on what grounds?" Xie Wantang snapped back.

"Just because of the drool at the corner of your mouth."

"Hm?"

Xie Wantang, puzzled, reached out to touch the corner of her mouth.

After touching it, she realized Lu Yanshen had played a trick on her.

The successful trickster laughed heartily, his deep voice pleasant: "Hahaha…"

Lu Yanshen, who wasn't in a great mood, was made very cheerful by the pure and cute Xie Wantang.

Xie Wantang glared at him fiercely; if Qiuqiu hadn't arrived immediately, she would have lunged at him and wrestled him to the death.

Dare to mock her?

She really can't stand this life any longer.

"The photo from that night on the mountain top was digitally altered; later I'll have Pei Xiao send you the original."

"Tonight I have something to do; I might come back late."

"I might not come back tonight," Xie Wantang said.

"Hm? Mrs. Lu, are you planning another night away from home?" Lu Yanshen frowned and asked.

"Mr. Lu misspoke; it was Mr. Lu who stayed out last night, so if I don't return tonight, the word 'again' should refer to Mr. Lu, not me."

"…"

At this moment, playing word games with him?

"I'll be back before eleven tonight," Lu Yanshen corrected.

Xie Wantang suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Please, Mr. Lu, be my guest."

As soon as she finished speaking, a knock came from the door; the private steward said, "Mrs. Lu, Miss Xu has arrived."

Lu Yanshen opened the door; Xu Yanqiu's outstretched hands, with an overly excited yet awkward expression, hovered in mid‑air.

She thought her "sweetheart" had opened the door for her; she truly didn't expect that at this hour, Lu Yanshen, the capitalist, still hadn't gone to the company to squeeze those workhorses.

"Sweet… huh?" Xu Yanqiu, startled, let out a gasp.

"Miss Xu, you workhorse, welcome."

Xu Yanqiu: "…"

Lu Yanshen, that's really impolite, right?

He actually called her 'Miss Xu Workhorse'?

Truly a narrow‑minded, grudging petty person.

After Lu Yanshen left, Xu Yanqiu slammed the door shut, venting her displeasure at his unauthorized way of addressing her.

However, she only dared to vent her emotions a bit by borrowing the door; facing the capitalist Lu Yanshen, she truly couldn't match Xie Wantang's confidence.

Xu Yanqiu is thoroughly a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

Presidential suites costing several ten-thousands, over ten thousand, or even several hundred-thousands per night, Xu Yanqiu has truly never seen; let alone hotel rooms costing over ten thousand, even those priced at one or two thousand, she is reluctant to spend.

Even those costing a few hundred are about the same.

Last night, Xie Wantang was lying in bed playing on her phone; when chatting with her, Xu Yanqiu heard Xie Wantang say that they as a couple had already moved from the Lu Family to the presidential suite at Yu Jing Zun Di to live; after that, she exclaimed that she wanted to come over the next day to take a look.

Xie Wantang naturally let her come; however, after waking up from sleep, plus Lu Yanze's sudden visit, she almost forgot about this.

Fortunately, Xu Yanqiu didn't come too early.

Otherwise, she might not have been waiting just those ten minutes.

Xu Yanqiu walked around the suite; after getting her fill, she then casually lay on the living room sofa, saying, 'The layout is no different from that of a suite, but the decoration style and supporting facilities are far better than those of a residential complex suite.'

Just your private butler and that procedure are high-end.

Xie Wantang chuckled lightly, 'That originally comes with the presidential suite; nowadays, labor and service aren't cheap anyway.'

Hmm.

Afterward, the two female friends first complained together about Lu Yanshen.

After complaining about Lu Yanshen, Xie Wantang told Xu Yanqiu that Lu Yanze had rushed over early in the morning to try to stop her from demolishing the house, and also told her about the servants she had fired.

What Xie Wantang couldn't understand most was, isn't Lu Yanshen supposed to most respect his older brother?

Today, his attitude toward his older brother, on the surface still respectful and polite, but upon closer reflection, Lu Yanze was left with a dark complexion by her retorts, and Lu Yanshen also seems not to have criticized her as harshly as he did over the past three years.

He merely asked her not to provoke Lu Yanze.

Over the past three years, Lu Yanze never took her seriously, and she never had the chance to retort to Lu Yanze.

I just can't figure it out, really can't figure it out.

Xu Yanqiu's brain also couldn't help Xie Wantang analyze much further.

In short, the Lu Family is a prestigious clan in Sijiucheng; once you enter a wealthy family, it's as deep as the sea.

Xie Wantang also didn't make things difficult for her.

Afterwards, the whole day, Xu Yanqiu happily spent her time in Xie Wantang and their presidential suite, enjoying the hotel's gourmet meals and the top-notch service of the private butler.

Xu Yanqiu also soaked in a flower-petal bath in the tub, and Xie Wantang called a staff member to help her with a full-body spa.

After dinner, Xu Yanqiu reluctantly left.

After seeing Xu Yanqiu off, Xie Wantang tidied up, checked the time, went to the parking lot, and drove her own car away from the hotel.
