Chapter 22

Lu Zhengguo was silent for a moment, “Comrade Shen Man, we haven’t divorced yet.”

After she entered the house today, their eyes met three times in just a few minutes, Gu Yang looked at her with a gentle and special look.

It was so special that anyone could see the unusual relationship between them.

Shen Man was stunned, she quickly realized that this man thought she was flirting with Gu Yang again.

“No, Lu Zhengguo, are you crazy, do you want me to take you to see a doctor tomorrow, am I Shen Man the kind of person who would cause trouble for myself?”

Gu Yang is such a conspicuous person, she’s not blind, how could she not see him.

Besides, it’s not like she went to see Gu Yang on purpose, she went to dinner tonight with him.

Lu Zhengguo’s voice was soft, “It’s better if you’re not.”

She was the one who seduced him at this kind of dinner party.

He had no feelings for her, so he was naturally indifferent.

But Gu Yang’s feelings for her were not ordinary, even if she didn’t actively seduce him, Gu Yang would eventually fall for her.

Shen Man was so angry that she didn’t say a word to the man all the way.

Soon, they arrived at the Lu family.

Almost everyone in the Lu family was already asleep.

Shen Man washed up and sat in front of the dressing table to apply face cream, she dug at the small jar for a long time, but only got a little bit out, it wasn’t enough.

She thought about what happened tonight, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Shen Man got up, she took the almost empty face cream jar and slammed it down in front of the man who was reading.

“Didn’t you say you would buy me face cream as an apology, where is it, where is it?”

“I need it now.”

Lu Zhengguo paused his reading, he casually took off the watch on his hand and placed it next to the face cream jar.

“This morning, I’ve already asked someone to send it back for you from Shanghai, but it’ll probably take a while, this watch was a reward from my leader, I’ll leave it with you for now.”

“When the face cream arrives, I’ll take the face cream you want and exchange it for the watch.”

Shen Man raised her eyebrows, “Okay, but if it gets scratched or damaged, I’m not responsible.”

She picked up the watch and played with it casually.

It was indeed a valuable watch, it was inlaid with a few small diamonds, the workmanship was exquisite and refined, it looked extraordinary.

After studying it for a while, Shen Man handed the watch back to Lu Zhengguo in front of him, she looked like she was enjoying the show.

“Since it’s your watch, you can wear it for me.”

Lu Zhengguo raised his hand and rubbed his temples, he looked directly into the woman’s beautiful and alluring peach blossom eyes, his voice paused, “No.”

This watch was very meaningful to him.

Shen Man scoffed, “Heh, you’re breaking your promise.”

She walked around to the man’s side and threw the watch into the pocket of his military uniform.

“Take it back, I’ll buy my own face cream, no need to bother you.”

She said, Shen Man turned and went to bed.

Lu Zhengguo touched the watch in his pocket, it was still warm, he looked at the woman who rolled over in bed and covered herself completely with the quilt.

He frowned slightly, she’s got a temper, she’s angry again?

Forget it, since Shen Man wants it so badly, tomorrow he’ll take her to the department store and let her choose a watch herself.

At night.

Lu Zhengguo was sleeping in bed, he almost fell off the bed several times, or she would roll over and into his arms, rubbing against him. .

That was bad enough.

He also heard her talking in her sleep, scolding him, calling him crazy, saying he had bad eyesight, and saying he broke his promise.

Lu Zhengguo sat up from the bed and rubbed his temples.

Shen Man, who was half-asleep, rolled over again and directly hugged his thigh, she rubbed her cheek against it gently, and she was mumbling something in her sleep.

Lu Zhengguo looked down at her, he didn’t need to think to know that this woman was scolding him in her sleep.

She was scolding him for being a sore loser and breaking his promise.

After a long silence, he took out the watch, pulled Shen Man’s left wrist, and put it on her in the dark.

The touch of her delicate and white skin, as if it ignited a burning sensation, a surge of heat rushed through him.

Lu Zhengguo unconsciously rubbed his fingertip against the woman’s wrist, until a soft mumble broke the silence.

He then pushed the person who had rolled into his arms back to the inside of the bed, after covering her with the quilt, Lu Zhengguo closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

The next morning.

Shen Man woke up, the man beside her was gone.

She didn’t care, she got out of bed and took out clothes from the closet to put on, she had to take the mechanical factory recruitment exam this afternoon.

Dressing appropriately was basic etiquette.

Shen Man chose a black skirt and a white shirt, she then tied two long and shiny braids, hanging down her chest.

It looked generous yet appropriate.

Suddenly, while changing clothes, Shen Man saw something on her left wrist.

She was stunned, wasn’t this Lu Zhengguo’s watch, how did it get on her hand?

Shen Man raised her left hand and looked closely, it was indeed that watch.

But because it was a men’s watch, it was obviously too big for her wrist, making her wrist look even more slender.

Shen Man raised her eyebrows, she took off the watch and locked it in the cabinet.

Last night, she only said that to make Lu Zhengguo uncomfortable.

She didn’t want this men’s watch, she would return it to him in a few days.

Shen Man put on her clothes and went out of the room, almost everyone in the Lu family was up, including Lu Zhengguo.

It was Lu Mu’s turn to cook today, they were still eating white porridge with pickled vegetables, the porridge was mostly thin, obviously half the amount of rice Shen Man used yesterday.

At breakfast.

Lu Hongmei suddenly picked up a piece of pickled vegetables and put it in Shen Man’s bowl, she giggled and leaned over.

“Sister-in-law, can I borrow the bicycle you bought yesterday, I’ll return it to you in two days.”

“No, I have to go to work.” Shen Man picked up the pickled vegetables in her bowl and put them back in Lu Hongmei’s bowl.

Lu Hongmei was about to throw down her chopsticks and get angry.

Lu Zhengguo picked up a piece of pickled vegetables and put it in her bowl, he warned softly, “Eat and say less, no one thinks you’re mute.”

Instantly, Lu Hongmei’s body stiffened, she could only glare fiercely at Shen Man and continue eating.

It’s all her fault, her second brother, who used to love her so much, doesn’t even love her anymore.

But thinking about the recruitment exam this afternoon, her heart became excited again.

As long as she passes the exam for the propaganda department clerk at the mechanical factory, she can step on this vicious woman, Shen Man, hard.

Thinking of this, Lu Hongmei proudly raised her chin and looked at Shen Man with disdain.

Humph, vicious woman, just you wait.

Shen Man looked at Lu Hongmei with a puzzled expression, is this woman crazy, why isn’t she eating properly, why is she looking at her?
