Chapter 37: Mr. Lu Has a Wife

Chang Ning thought of something and said, “It’s quite a coincidence, Mr. Lu didn’t come to work the day you took a day off.”

“Really?” Cen Wan laughed awkwardly. Thankfully, Chang Ning wasn’t very quick-witted, otherwise she might have already been exposed.

Chang Ning nodded. Cen Wan felt a little guilty. Chang Ning was very kind to her, she told her everything, would it be bad to keep this from her?

She thought she would find a chance to tell Chang Ning the truth. Chang Ning, the little cutie, wouldn’t be angry with her.

However, that very evening, after getting off work, Cen Wan got into Lu Beixun’s car at the intersection. She had just fastened her seatbelt when she received a WeChat message from Chang Ning, a picture.

It was a picture of her just opening the car door. She was stunned and turned her head to look. Through the car window, she saw Chang Ning holding her phone with a shocked expression.

Chang Ning understood. No wonder Cen Wan and Lu Beixun were both absent from work on the same day.

Cen Wan asked Lu Beixun to hold off on driving. Then, another message came through.

Chang Ning: [Wan Wan, we can’t be the other woman…]

Chang Ning: [Mr. Lu has a wife /crying/]

Cen Wan was speechless for a moment. She looked at Lu Beixun: “Do I look like the other woman?”

Lu Beixun: “…”

Cen Wan sighed. Chang Ning, the little cutie, was a little smart, but not very. She said, “I’m going to have coffee with my sister. Do you want to come?”

“Hmm?” Lu Beixun didn’t notice Chang Ning standing by the side of the road.

Cen Wan pointed out the window: “That’s my sister. I can’t hide it anymore…”

Lu Beixun looked through the car window, nodded: “Go ahead, I’ll come find you later.”

Lu Beixun knew how much the company employees feared him, so he would wait until they had finished talking before picking up his little woman, to avoid her being mistaken for the other woman.

Cen Wan got out of the car and walked towards Chang Ning. As soon as she reached her side, Chang Ning grabbed her arm and asked, “Wan Wan, what’s going on?”

She admitted that Lu Beixun was charming, but he had a wife. Breaking up someone else’s relationship would bring down thunder.

Cen Wan looked at the coffee shop not far away: “Let’s have a cup of coffee.”

The two sat by the floor-to-ceiling window. Chang Ning sat opposite Cen Wan, with two cups of coffee on the table. Chang Ning’s face was dark: “Wan Wan, it’s not too late to turn back. If you don’t listen to me, we won’t be friends anymore.”

Cen Wan: “…”

Cen Wan was helpless. She asked, “What’s my last name?”

Chang Ning looked at her in confusion: “Cen.”

“What’s Lu Beixun’s wife’s last name?”

“Cen.”

Cen Wan raised an eyebrow and looked at her: “So?”

“So…” Chang Ning frowned: “Even if you have the same last name as Mr. Lu’s wife, you can’t be the other woman.”

Cen Wan: “…”

She had some understanding, but not much: “Do I look like Lu Beixun’s rumored wife?”

“Even if you look like her, you can’t be a replacement, right?” Chang Ning said righteously.

Cen Wan: “…”

“I am.” Cen Wan said directly: “He Yi isn’t my cousin, but Lu Beixun is my legally recognized husband.”

Chang Ning was stunned. She was so excited that she couldn’t speak: “You you you…”

Chang Ning “you”ed for a while: “You are the Cen family’s daughter, you are Mr. Lu’s wife.”

Cen Wan nodded: “I didn’t mean to deceive you. I just wanted to work properly.”

“You don’t have to apologize.” Chang Ning said: “I understand. I’ll keep your secret.”

Cen Wan looked at her gratefully: “Thank you.”

Chang Ning only felt incredible. She had accidentally become friends with the Cen family’s daughter and Mr. Lu’s wife.

No wonder Xiang Baipi was fired directly. Coveting Mr. Lu’s wife, he would have been fired if he hadn’t been.

When she first saw Cen Wan, she was attracted by her aura. She felt that she must be a daughter of some wealthy family. But then she thought, if she was really a daughter of some wealthy family, why would she be a simple employee and have to look at her superiors’ faces?

So, she ruled out that possibility.

“Wan Wan, will you still have lunch with me?”

“Of course.” Cen Wan smiled: “I still need to hear your gossip.”

Chang Ning’s eyes lit up. She really liked Cen Wan. She was so down-to-earth. She liked her so much.

At this time, Lu Beixun came in, walked straight to Cen Wan’s side, and said softly: “Finished talking? It’s time to go home.”

Chang Ning covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of a motherly smile. The plot of the idol drama was coming true. What a perfect match, a match made in heaven…

This was simply a divine pairing.

She didn’t know when she would meet her Prince Charming. How come He Yi’s face appeared in her mind? She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Chang Ning’s smile subsided a little. She looked at Lu Beixun: “Mr. Lu.”

She felt that the cold-faced boss didn’t seem so cold anymore, and he was even very gentle.

Lu Beixun faintly hummed in response.

Chang Ning looked at Cen Wan: “Wan Wan, I’m going now. See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow.”

After Chang Ning left, Cen Wan asked: “My sister, she’s cute, right?”

“Not as cute as my darling.”

Cen Wan smiled sweetly, holding his arm: “Let’s go home.”

“Go back to our little home.”

Lu Beixun looked at her sideways: “Wan Wan, do you think our home is too small? Then we’ll change it.”

Cen Wan: “…”

This understanding ability was on par with Chang Ning’s: “I didn’t think our home was too small…”

As long as he was there, even if they lived in a rented apartment, she wouldn’t think it was too small.

Lu Beixun smiled and rubbed her head: “Hmm, I know.”

As they were leaving, Cen Wan ran into a few employees from the administrative department. They must have been going out for dinner or shopping after work.

Before they looked over, Cen Wan quickly let go of Lu Beixun and distanced herself from him. The employees from the administrative department looked over and noticed Cen Wan and Lu Beixun.

They were slightly shocked to see her. They first greeted Mr. Lu, then looked at Cen Wan with puzzled expressions.

Cen Wan smiled awkwardly: “Mr. Lu left his phone in the office. My cousin has something urgent, so I’m here to deliver it.”

The few people nodded, not suspecting anything. They asked her if she wanted to join them for dinner. Cen Wan saw Lu Beixun’s face as black as coal, so she smiled and declined.

The few people didn’t insist. They said goodbye to Cen Wan and left.

After they left, Lu Beixun’s expression didn’t improve. Thinking about having to hide with his wife, his face became even darker.

Cen Wan coaxed him flatteringly. Lu Beixun was particularly fond of her tricks. He held the back of her head and kissed her lips fiercely.

Chang Ning’s car was pink, with a big Hello Kitty sticker on it. It was very cute. The car wasn’t expensive, but it could shield her from the wind and rain.

On the way home, Chang Ning had music playing in her car. She was in a good mood and would hum along occasionally. Then, she was met with a tragic accident.

That’s right, she rear-ended someone at a traffic light.

The other car was a Bentley. She felt that her wallet was doomed.

She wanted to cry…

She saw someone getting out of the car, and it was He Yi. He Yi glanced at the place where the car was hit, looked at her faintly, and walked over to knock on her car window.

Chang Ning rolled down the window. She only heard him say: “Settle it privately or call the police.”

Chang Ning stammered: “Pri… privately.”

The traffic light had ten seconds left. He Yi had no emotion. He said faintly: “Park on the side of the road.”

Chang Ning “oh”ed: “Okay.”

She was mainly responsible for this accident. Chang Ning was heartbroken. She was so miserable, just a worker.

The car stopped on the side of the road. She got out of the car. He Yi opened the car door and walked towards her. She weakly called out: “Assistant He.”

She explained: “I didn’t mean to. Don’t worry, I’ll pay for all the repairs.

“It’s just that… I can’t pay all at once.” After all, the car wasn’t cheap: “But I can write you an IOU.”

He Yi “hmm”ed without any emotion.

The two exchanged contact information, and the matter was considered settled.
