Chapter 145 : Sleeping in Separate Beds

Ye Wanqing’s words left Lu Yunxiang feeling utterly embarrassed.

Although it seemed like she was speaking up for her, every sentence was actually targeting her sore spots.

“I think everyone has their own style and there’s no need to imitate others. Miss Lu, don’t you agree?”

Ye Wanqing blew on the foam in her tea cup, speaking with a meaningful tone.

Lu Yunxiang gritted her teeth, her face full of shame and anger.

“Yes, but this has always been my style, there’s no need for me to imitate others.”

Her defiance was palpable.

Ye Wanqing scoffed in her heart.

Seeing Ye Xuanlin enter, Lu Yunxiang’s eyes misted over, looking on the verge of tears.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Xuanlin asked out of courtesy.

“It’s nothing. I just had a few heavy words with Miss Ye and was reminded of some unpleasant things.”

Lu Yunxiang spoke with feigned strength and tears in her eyes.

She hoped this would elicit Ye Xuanlin’s sympathy.

Once she became Ye Wanqing’s sister-in-law, she would make sure Ye Wanqing would beg her for mercy!

But she forgot that Ye Wanqing was Ye Xuanlin’s biological sister. It was impossible for her to stir up trouble between them.

Ye Xuanlin glanced at her indifferently and showed no further interest.

“Oh.”

This response left Lu Yunxiang unable to say anything she had prepared.

Ye Wanqing concealed her smile behind her tea cup.

Her brother’s ability to discern fakes was even better than hers.

This white lotus act of hers couldn’t fool even her brother’s eyes.

“Mr. Lu, I have something to discuss with you. Could we talk somewhere else?” Ye Wanqing invited.

“Of course.”

Lu Yunbei and Ye Wanqing walked out to the courtyard, chatting while strolling.

Lu Yunxiang, feeling uneasy, wanted to follow them secretly but was deterred by the presence of another young master of the Ye family inside.

She couldn’t miss this rare chance to be alone.

“Mr. Ye, I’ve heard that your tea skills are quite remarkable. Could you show me?”

Ye Xuanlin, playing with the tea cup, responded indifferently, “You’re not worthy.”

Lu Yunxiang’s face turned pale and unattractive in an instant.

In the courtyard.

Ye Wanqing got straight to the point “Mr. Lu, regarding the DNA test issue, didn’t you suspect Lu Yunxiang?”

Lu Yunbei paused, his expression turning serious.

“Miss Ye, what do you mean by that?”

“Why is it that the DNA test report Lu Yunxiang presented was incorrect? Errors in institutional tests are very rare, so why did she end up with one?”

Lu Yunbei’s face darkened slightly, clearly taking her words to heart.

“Actually, my father and I did suspect her initially.”

“Did you find anything?”

Lu Yunbei shook his head. “No. The servant she called was an old servant from our Lu family, loyal to my parents, and would never be bribed by her. Furthermore, we checked with the store staff, and the person who drank coffee with Yunxiang that day was actually my sister, Yunyao.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanqing frowned.

“Miss Lu never mentioned that I was also there that day?”

“What?” Lu Yunbei was shocked.

“I was with Yunyao that day, and Lu Yunxiang came later. So, there should have been three cups. If Lu Yunxiang deliberately had the servant take the wrong cup, the result would be just as she intended.”

Lu Yunbei explained, “To prevent Lu Yunxiang from playing tricks, the servant collected all the cups from the table for testing. There were two cups in total. According to the servant, one was Lu Yunxiang’s and the other was Yunyao’s.”

The result was that neither of the two cups had a match with the blood sample.

Now he realized that Ye Wanqing was also present that day.

“The situation is clear now. Lu Yunxiang deliberately hid Yunyao’s cup and left mine and hers on the table. Regardless of which one the servant took, the result would be the same.”

Ye Wanqing quickly deduced the truth.

Neither she nor Lu Yunxiang was the biological daughter of the Lu family.

Neither of them could have a blood relation to the head of the Lu family.

Lu Yunbei’s brows tightened, his expression displeased. “So that’s how it is.”

They had later wanted to check the store’s surveillance footage, but it had been deleted long ago.

Thus, they had no evidence of Lu Yunxiang’s wrongdoing, and with the assurance of trusted family elders, they had to conclude that the problem was with the testing institution.

It turned out that Lu Yunxiang was behind it all!

“She initially approached me, saying she found a girl who looked very much like our mother. I thought she supported us reclaiming Yunyao and let my guard down.”

Lu Yunxiang’s risky maneuver had indeed worked.

At least it led Lu Yunbei to believe that Lu Yunxiang had changed her mind and was wholeheartedly helping the Lu family, not doing anything detrimental to their interests.

Ye Wanqing showed a mocking smile.

“She’s quite clever, knowing you went to see the campus beauty pageant, and couldn’t keep the truth about her biological sister hidden anymore, so she proactively informed you. This allowed her to appear favorable and lower your guard.”

Lu Yunbei’s eyes were filled with intense disgust and regret.

He shouldn’t have been so lenient with Lu Yunxiang all these years, just because they had lived together for a long time.

This extra leniency nearly prevented him and Yunyao from recognizing each other as siblings!

Being a true family means being united in heart.

“I must inform my father about this as soon as possible. Miss Ye, please let Mr. Ye know that we’ll arrange another meeting with the siblings later.”

“Okay, go ahead. I’ll explain it to my brother.”

—

In the past few days, Lu Yunyao noticed that Mr.’s work hours had been significantly reduced.

And they ended up sharing the same bed every night.

“Mr, please sleep in the master bedroom.”

Lu Yunyao, with dark circles under her eyes and yawning, pleaded.

Her legs simply couldn’t take it anymore; they felt as limp as noodles every day.

If this goes on, she might not even be able to walk.

Fu Sichan’s face darkened. He pinched her cheek and said sternly, “Little girl, we’re husband and wife. You want to sleep in separate beds from your husband?”

Lu Yunyao negotiated with him, “How about we sleep in the same room every other day?”

After all, whenever they lay together, they couldn’t help but get carried away.

“No.”

Fu Sichan refused without hesitation.

“Mr, what’s going on with you lately? Are you having problems at work?”

Fu Sichan’s expression remained cold. “No.”

As the dignified president of the Fu Corporation, he had never stumbled in his work.

“Then why are you sticking to me every day?”

Lu Yunyao had a big question mark in her mind.

Every time she played with the cat, it seemed like Mr. was a bit unhappy, and he would fuss over her for a long time at night.

Mr.’s possessiveness was so strong, he even got jealous of the cat.

How could anyone withstand that?

Fu Sichan asserted, “We’re married, shouldn’t we spend a lot of time together?”

Lu Yunyao scratched her cheek and said innocently, “But Mr, you once said you didn’t like clingy women.”

Fu Sichan’s face stiffened.
