Chapter 4: A Year’s Agreement

Cen Wan’s heart was a little uneasy, afraid that Lu Beixun would bring up the divorce again, but she couldn’t keep hiding and not face it.

When it was ten o’clock at night, Cen Wan was a little sleepy, Zhang Shu came in and told her not to wait, but she insisted on waiting. As master and servant, Zhang Shu had no choice but to leave.

At eleven o’clock, she couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep on the sofa. It started to rain outside.

Cen Wan didn’t sleep soundly, she had already woken up when she heard the familiar footsteps, but she didn’t open her eyes.

Vaguely, Cen Wan clearly felt him approaching, after a few tens of seconds, a hand appeared on the bend of her legs, she was being picked up.

Lu Beixun carried her towards the guest room, Cen Wan squinted her eyes and secretly looked at him, reaching out to hook his neck. Lu Beixun cared about her, although she didn’t know why he wanted to divorce her.

Or maybe he really didn’t love her anymore, and he was doing this to her out of a sense of responsibility as husband and wife.

When she opened her eyes, Lu Beixun noticed it, he didn’t expose her, he looked straight ahead, not looking down at the girl in his arms.

He put her on the bed in the guest room, Lu Beixun got up, Cen Wan tightly hooked his neck and wouldn’t let go, she opened her eyes, met his black, unfathomable eyes, and gave a charming smile, “Lu Beixun, you still care about me, right?”

Lu Beixun was stunned for a moment, his brow was cold, his voice was light, and there was no emotion in it, “No.”

Cen Wan wanted to catch something in his expression, but she couldn’t find anything other than coldness and aloofness.

“Why divorce?” Cen Wan’s brow furrowed slightly.

Lu Beixun pulled her hand away from his neck, and said coldly, “It’s good for both of us.”

“It’s not good at all,” Cen Wan sat up from the bed, looking at him seriously, “It’s my fault, I was being reckless, you can’t forgive me, but I beg you, don’t divorce me.”

“If you’re angry with me, you can hit me, scold me, if it doesn’t work, you can stab me a few times, I don’t want to get a divorce.”

When she mentioned stabbing him a few times, Lu Beixun’s brow furrowed imperceptibly.

Cen Wan thought of what she had done to Lu Beixun in the previous life, she really deserved to die, she couldn’t help but slap herself hard.

A warmth spread on her wrist, Lu Beixun grabbed her wrist, Cen Wan looked up at him, Lu Beixun’s jawline was tight, he looked down at her from above, his voice was cold and hard, “What are you doing?”

Cen Wan’s hand was heavy enough, a finger mark appeared on her cheek, but she didn’t feel the pain, she looked at Lu Beixun with a pleading gaze, “Divorce is fine, give me a year’s observation period, after the observation period is over, if you still want to divorce me, I’ll leave, I won’t want any property, okay?”

“I’ve never asked you for anything, please agree to this.”

After a year, if he insisted on getting a divorce, she would accept it. Whether they divorced or not, she would do her best to be good to him.

When he was sure that she wouldn’t hurt herself again, Lu Beixun let go of her hand, left the guest room, Cen Wan thought he didn’t agree, she sighed, lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, he was really different.

In this life, everyone was the same as in the previous life, except for him, he was different from the previous life.

After almost a minute, she heard a noise, she looked towards the door, Lu Beixun was holding an ice pack and a towel, he walked to the bedside and handed them to her, his voice was as cold as ever, “Deal with it yourself.”

Cen Wan stared at him blankly, in the previous life, if she was injured, he would take care of her personally, even if she didn’t like it, his attitude was tough, he wouldn’t give her any chance to refuse.

Now, she was happy that he could give her an ice pack, people should be content with what they have, “Thank you.”

“Then about the observation period…”

“Okay.” After saying that, Lu Beixun left, closing the door behind him.

Cen Wan excitedly tossed and turned in bed, she couldn’t hold on any longer in the early morning and went to sleep, she spent the whole night thinking about how to be good to him.

She went to sleep in the early morning, and she woke up early. After washing up, she went into the kitchen.

Her mother was a cook who could rival a five-star chef, she could still make a simple breakfast, otherwise she would be too ashamed of her mother.

She had just entered the kitchen when she ran into Zhang Shu who was cooking, Cen Wan smiled politely, “Zhang Shu, I’ll do it, you can sleep a little longer.”

“Can Madam do it?” Zhang Shu asked this mainly because he was afraid she would get hurt.

“I can.”

In the previous life, Cen Wan was very good to every servant in Lu’s house, except for Lu Beixun, they respected her very much.

Zhang Shu left the kitchen, last night Madam took the initiative to find Lu Beixun, and the two of them didn’t argue, which means their relationship was warming up. The pampered young lady got up to make breakfast, it could only be for Mr.

So he didn’t stay to interfere.

She didn’t know much about Lu Beixun’s taste and preferences, so she made both Chinese and Western food. She was busy for two hours.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, she was very grateful to heaven for giving her a chef mother, otherwise she would really be a useless young lady, a waste in the mouths of others.

She was proud and proud that she could make breakfast.

Other people had lofty ideals and ambitions since they were young, she just wanted to spend money and lie flat since she was young. She had eight classes a day in elementary school, she slept through six classes and waited for school to be over for the other two classes.

So she could be a little proud and proud of being able to make breakfast.

Lu Beixun came down from the stairs, wearing a well-tailored black suit, exuding an air of nobility.

Zhang Shu came in, Lu Beixun glanced at him, “Zhang Shu, tell Madam to eat breakfast.”

Zhang Shu was about to speak, a small head poked out from the kitchen, holding a spatula in his hand, he blinked at Lu Beixun, “I’m here.”

Lu Beixun was stunned for a moment, Zhang Shu explained, “The breakfast was made by Madam.”

“I know.” Lu Beixun walked into the dining room, he was slightly stunned when he saw the breakfast on the table, Cen Wan poked her head out, “You eat first, I’m frying eggs, it’ll be ready soon.”

Soon, the eggs were fried, Cen Wan carried the plate out and placed it on the table, “I made a little bit of everything, pick what you like to eat.”

“Don’t go into the kitchen in the future.”

Cen Wan ignored his words, “Try it quickly.”

During the whole breakfast, Lu Beixun didn’t say a word, he didn’t say whether it was delicious or not, she didn’t know if it suited his taste.

She thought it was okay, not bad, just ordinary.

It is said that to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach. She couldn’t stop at breakfast, she had to improve her cooking skills, soup, stir-fries, Chinese food, Western food, she had to learn them all.

She decided that when Lu Beixun went to work, she would go home and find her mother, and learn how to cook from her mother.

The useless young lady was finally going to stand up.

She would be sad if Lu Beixun was cold to her, but when she thought of how she stabbed a knife about twenty centimeters long into his chest in the previous life, and his lifeless eyes at that moment, how sad he must have been.

In this life, no matter whether Lu Beixun was good or bad to her, she would be good to him with all her heart.

“After breakfast, I’ll have the driver send you back.” Lu Beixun finished breakfast and wiped his hands with a towel.

Cen Wan was stunned, didn’t they agree not to divorce for now, why did he still want to send her back, “I’m on probation now.”

“You can observe better if you live together, otherwise how would you know if I’m good or bad, if I’ve changed, so I can’t go back.”

Suddenly, Cen Wan thought of something, she raised her eyebrows at him, “Unless, you go back to Lu’s house with me.”

Lu Beixun was silent.

She said again, “You choose one, either I stay here with you, or you go back to Lu’s house with me, no matter what reason you’re using to put me off now, I won’t listen to you, wherever you are, I’ll be there.”

She was going to be a dog-skin plaster, the kind that couldn’t be shaken off.

After a long silence, Lu Beixun said, “Go back to Lu’s house.”

“Okay.” Cen Wan put on a smile, “Do you need to pack anything? I’ll help you.”

“No need.”

Lu Beixun was about to go to work, he was stopped by Cen Wan when he reached the living room, he stopped, Cen Wan ran to him, standing opposite him.

She grabbed the clothes on both sides of his waist, stood on tiptoe, and lightly pecked his thin lips, touching and separating, “I’ll wait for you at Lu’s house, be careful driving on the road, pay attention to safety.”

His lips still retained her warmth, Lu Beixun was stunned, he looked at her straight, Cen Wan smiled, turned and went upstairs.

Lu Beixun stared at her back, until she disappeared around the corner, he then withdrew his gaze and left the living room.

Cen Wan was so happy that she couldn’t contain herself after tasting a little sweetness. Not long after Lu Beixun left, Cen Wan returned to the Cen family. This time she went home, she met the person she hated the most.

She stared at Cen Xiu who was sitting on the sofa, hatred surged in her heart, it was he who set the fire that killed her parents and sister, and it was he who tricked her into killing the man she loved with her own hands.

Seeing him chatting and laughing with her father, making her mother happy, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, he was really good at pretending, if she hadn’t been reborn, she wouldn’t have believed that this gentle and jade-like man was the real villain.

Cen Xiu looked over at her, his smile was gentle, “Wanwan, why are you back today?”

“This is my home, I can come back whenever I want.” Cen Wan didn’t bother to hide anything, “Do I need to report it?”

Cen Xiu was slightly stunned by Cen Wan’s hostility, he touched his nose unnaturally, Cen Mu quickly smoothed things over, and scolded Cen Wan.

Cen Xiu, “Mom, it’s okay, Wanwan might be in a bad mood today.”

Of course she was in a bad mood when she saw him.

Cen Mu felt strange but didn’t ask any further questions, usually, even if Cen Wan was in a bad mood, she wouldn’t say a harsh word to Cen Xiu.

Cen Fu, “Luoluo is back, she’s upstairs.”

Cen Wan didn’t give Cen Xiu another look, she said hello and went upstairs, she knocked on Cen Luoluo’s door.

“Come in.”

Cen Wan went in, Cen Luoluo was packing her things, she looked up at her and continued to pack her things.

Cen Wan’s nose felt sour.

Cen Luoluo, “Cen Da Xiao Jie, this bookworm is about to return to school in an hour, please cherish the time you have with this bookworm.”

Cen Wan was amused, her sadness instantly vanished, “Are you sick?”

Cen Luoluo thought of something, she threw her clothes on the bed, walked to Cen Wan’s side, and held her wrist, acting coquettishly, “Sister~”

The moment she called her sister, Cen Wan’s scalp tingled, she knew that Cen Luoluo was up to no good when she called her sister.

Cen Luoluo shook her arm, “I’m out of pocket money, Sister, can you sponsor me a little?”

Cen Wan, “No.”

Cen Luoluo pouted pitifully, “Good sister~ Cen Da Xiao Jie, can you bear to see your younger sister have no money to eat and can only eat instant noodles?”

“Okay, okay.” Cen Wan couldn’t stand her acting coquettishly, “I’ll transfer it to you now, what have you been doing at school, you spend more money than your sister did back then.”

Cen Luoluo received the money, she flattered Cen Wan a lot, and only answered her question after she finished flattering her, “I bought a limited edition figurine.”

Cen Wan gave her a helpless look, “I knew it.”
