Jiang Huai is very dissatisfied with his current life.
Who would have thought that he was very satisfied with his current life a few days ago, but in just a few days, his experience suddenly became extremely bad.
Now every day when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was not the doll on his bed, but Lu Wusui’s face.
He also lost the freedom to use his bed.
These clauses were not originally included in the agreement, but through his efforts, he successfully persuaded Lu Wusui to add the “Bed Use Instructions” to the agreement.
It started with him eating in bed.
Jiang Huai thinks that the bed is the softest and most comfortable place in the world. He even bought a bedside table so that he can do all kinds of things on the bed.
Lu Wusui is rarely at home during the day.
Jiang Huai had no classes in the afternoon, so looking at Lu Wusui’s tidy new bed, he put his own bedside table on top.
Since Lu Wusui asked him to move in, he definitely wouldn’t put himself in a difficult position.
Jiang Huai slowly made some instant noodles.
After finishing the instant noodles, he still felt uncomfortable on the bed – the bed was too flat, so he folded up the quilt and used it as a backrest.
Still feeling uncomfortable.
Sure enough, no matter how good a place is, it will never be as good as your own doghouse.
Jiang Huai sighed.
After sighing, he thought for a while, took out the doll from his luggage, placed it on the head of the bed, moved the quilt aside, and replaced it with a real backrest.
Now I feel comfortable.
However, he felt comfortable. When Lu Wusui came home from get off work and saw this scene, his blood pressure rose sharply.
Jiang Huai had fallen asleep at that time, curled up in a pile of dolls, his neck almost shrunk, revealing his clean white face.
Looks like an angel from this perspective.
That is, ignoring the mess he made on the bed.
Lu Wusui stepped forward and lifted Jiang Huai up. The veins on his forehead popped out, and he asked through gritted teeth, “What’s that smell in the room?”
Jiang Huai opened his sleepy eyes and said unconsciously: “What…”
”I asked what the smell was in the room.” Lu Wusui repeated it again with gritted teeth.
Jiang Huai finally reacted and thought for a moment before saying, “I have instant noodles.”
Lu Wusui couldn’t believe it, “You’re eating instant noodles in the bedroom?”
Moreover, according to the housekeeper, the chef prepared a very sumptuous Japanese meal at noon. Under such circumstances, Jiang Huai not only refused to go downstairs to eat, but also ate instant noodles in the room?
Lu Wusui took a deep breath.
Jiang Huai finally sensed his emotions and immediately sat down obediently, looking at him from bottom to top. From Lu Wusui’s perspective, he could clearly see his big, blinking eyes.
Blinking, so innocent.
”Jiang Huai,” Lu Wu Su paused, “For this week, no, for this month, don’t even think about going to the balcony.”
Jiang Huai: Suddenly heard the bad news.
*
At Jiang Huai’s request, Lu Wusui “showed mercy” and reluctantly let him go.
However, the agreement signed by the two people before added a few more clauses.
Lu Wusui repeatedly warned him, “You are not allowed to put dolls on the bed, eat snacks on the bed, or draw on the bed.”
Jiang Huai was very sad.
In fact, except for the first one which is mixed with Lu Wusou’s selfish motives, the rest of these behaviors are very normal.
Eating snacks will dirty the bed, and drawing on the bed will lead to many tragedies.
It’s just that Jianghuai has always been like this and it can’t be changed.
When he was young, Mrs. Jiang had corrected him several times, but when she found that it couldn’t be corrected, she gave up and let him continue to have the condition into adulthood.
Now, he got rid of Mrs. Jiang and welcomed Lu Wusui.
Jiang Huai often asked Lu Wusui when he could move out of his room.
The answer I usually get is: Oh, why are you in such a hurry?
Jiang Huai: …
When he was a child, he could hide in the closet when Mrs. Jiang was correcting his behavior. But now, no matter how hard he tries to avoid Lu Wusui, he will always be found by Lu Wusui.
The last time he hid in Lu Wusui’s closet, after the closet was pushed open by Lu Wusui, the two looked at each other for a moment.
Then, Lu Wusui chuckled and said slowly: “Come out.”
Jiang Huai was like a cat, being dragged out by the scruff of the neck.
…I didn’t scratch Lu Wusui because he has a good temper.
In short, there is no dignity.
Perhaps because he was too resistant, Lu Wusui showed mercy after finding him hiding in the closet and told him, “You are allowed to put a doll on the bed, but you are not allowed to make trouble.”
Jiang Huai: “…”
Lu Wusui cleared his throat and said, “Two, this is my limit.”
Jiang Huai pursed his lips.
Lu Wusui suddenly stretched out his finger and lifted up the corner of his mouth with his fingertips. In front of Jiang Huai’s blank eyes, he said expressionlessly: “Three.”
Jiang Huai: “…”
At this time, the idea of buying a house came up again.
But he still owed Lu Wusou money.
Before that, he had to hurry up and pay back Lu Wusui’s money.
Jiang Huai is terrible at socializing, so he can only ask Zhu Xiaoai to help him get some painting work.
Zhu Xiaoai was a little surprised. “You’ve been in school for so long, and so many people have come to you to paint for you, but you’ve rejected them all. Why do you want to take the job now?”
Jiang Huai explained it to him very seriously.
Zhu Xiaoai said indignantly: “Your husband is too much! You are married and he still takes your money!”
Now Zhu Xiaoai’s impression of Lu Wusui has reached rock bottom.
Zhu Xiaoai said: “No, you are living too hard in the Lu family. You don’t have any say at all. How can you bear it?”
Jiang Huai said: “I broke his vase, so I should pay it back…”
”That’s not how it’s calculated!” Zhu Xiaoai really wanted to knock him on the head. “You are a legal couple, a legally recognized partner, don’t you understand? His property should be half yours. You are fundamentally one, how can he care about the money for a vase?”
Jiang Huai was confused by what he heard.
Zhu Xiaoai was so angry, “Why don’t you just divorce him?”
Jiang Huai widened his eyes slightly, “Divorce?”
”Yes,” Zhu Xiaoai pointed out the key point, “Although it is an arranged marriage, no one stipulates that an arranged marriage cannot be divorced.”
Jiang Huai thought for a moment, “I will be given to someone else by my family.”
”You are stupid, you can’t run,” Zhu Xiaoai said confidently, “You are an adult. If you really want to run, there are places you can go. Just don’t let them find you.”
Moreover, housing prices in other cities are much cheaper than in their city.
Originally, Jiang Huai only had a rough idea in his mind.
Now, after Zhu Xiaoai’s words, his thoughts slowly formed a clear idea.
*
Lu Wusui discovered that Jiang Huai had become noticeably busier recently.
The two slept in the same bedroom, but worked separately. Usually, when Lu Wusui finished his work in the study, he would come back and see Jiang Huai curled up like a carrot on the bed.
Recently, when he came back from work, Jiang Huai was often not there.
It was almost midnight when Jiang Huai slowly opened the door and got into bed from the other side.
Lu Wusui was not worried that Jiang Huai would not sleep in his bed, because he had ordered the housekeeper to vacate all the secondary bedrooms upstairs and downstairs in the Lu family’s house.
The inner bed boards of each bed are exposed, making it impossible to sleep on them.
Lu Wusui didn’t want to force Jiang Huai like this.
Old Madam Lu’s illness worsened again, so he went to the Lu family. The old lady gave him many warnings and instructions, and always felt that he was mistreating Jiang Huai.
In order to reassure her, Lu Wusui added a clause about sleeping in the same bedroom into the agreement.
In Lu Wusui’s eyes, this was not a big deal at all.
But judging from Jiang Huai’s reaction, he seemed to dislike this.
He was also thinking about letting Jiang Huai move back after Madam Lu got better in a few days.
And Jiang Huai knew nothing about all this.
*
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
Madam Lu’s health has improved a lot. After a serious illness, she hopes to have a lively scene to wash away her illness.
It happened to be her 80th birthday, so the Lu family decided to hold a birthday party for her in advance.
There should be quite a few people there that day.
The Lu family’s prestige is not just talk.
A few years ago, when many people thought that the Lu family was about to fall, a Lu Wusui suddenly appeared and pulled the Lu family’s carriage back into the battlefield.
In just two years, Lu Wusui not only brought the entire Lu family’s industry back to life, but also made the Lu family bigger and bigger.
Coupled with the Lu family’s century-old foundation, its position in the industry is basically unshakable.
Many people want to curry favor with the Lu family and want to curry favor with Lu Wusui, so they will definitely come to Old Madam Lu’s birthday party.
Do whatever it takes to get an invitation.
Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Jiang Huai, and the Jiang family did not allow him to show up in public.
But now, he is Lu Wusui’s partner, and by some strange coincidence he has become an important and highly-anticipated figure.
Jiang Huai vaguely felt that this banquet looked familiar.
However, he was also a person who had seen many big scenes, and banquets were all similar, so he didn’t take it to heart.
On the day of the banquet, Lu Wusui was still working and instructed the Lu family’s driver to take Jiang Huai directly to the scene.
The Lu family is not the Jiang family.
On the way to the banquet, including after arriving at the banquet, Jiang Huai was well accommodated and sent directly to the old lady.
The old lady needs to rest, so there are not many people around her.
When Jiang Huai arrived, she saw him and a sincere smile appeared on her face.
The old lady asked him a lot about his recent situation.
When she found out that Jiang Huai and Lu Wusui were sleeping together, her smile became more genuine, and she said to him, “Good boy, just be obedient. But if Wusui makes you unhappy, just beat him up, and grandma will take care of it for you.”
Jiang Huai half understood and half didn’t understand.
Mainly, he thought hitting people was a bad behavior, so he would not fight with others. But Madam Lu treated him kindly, which made him embarrassed to talk back.
If Lu Wusui knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh out of anger.
It turns out that Jiang Huai also knows that talking back is not good.
Madam Lu’s eyes stayed on Jiang Huai’s belly for a moment, and she sighed, “I hope grandma can still see the little person living in your belly.”
Jiang Huai touched his belly and was about to clarify something.
There was a knock on the door behind them.
With Madam Lu’s approval, a lot of people came in at once, all of them were guests invited to the banquet.
Jiang Huai slowly retreated, and as he did so, he left Madam Lu’s room.
*
Jiang Huai was not very familiar with the Lu family’s old house, and he felt a little confused when he stood at the door of the old lady’s room.
Many people don’t know his identity, and they keep their eyes on him when they come and go.
Then, discuss it with their companions next to them.
Jiang Huai was not used to being stared at like this. After looking left and right, he simply walked along the corridor, hoping to avoid all the gazes.
I don’t know how I ended up in the back garden where few people came.
During the banquet, everything in the Lu family was open to guests. However, the guests who were invited to the banquet were of high quality and would not wander around.
There are fewer people in the back garden.
Jiang Huai heard someone talking on the phone.
”Mom, I’ve already told you that I don’t want a marriage.”
”Can you please stop forcing me? Do you have to make things worse? I have already compromised so much for the Tao family…”
Jiang Huai took a moment to react before he realized that the person was Tao Chuannan.
He turned and tried to leave.
However, at this moment Tao Chuannan hung up the phone, turned around and saw him.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Tao Chuannan frowned, and then said: “…It’s you?”
