Chapter 71.2 Calling Him “Husband,” You Know?

After an afternoon, Lu Fei returned to the apartment with bags and packages in hand.

As soon as they arrived home, Shi Qiuyun looked at the pile of goods that almost resembled a small mountain.

Her face became slightly nervous as she looked at Lu Fei and said, 

“Good brother, did I spend a lot of money?”

“I didn’t mean to, I just don’t know how it happened. I unconsciously bought so many things.”

Seeing Shi Qiuyun’s nervous expression, Lu Fei shook his head.

The total cost of these items was only around a hundred thousand. For Lu Fei, it was nothing worth mentioning. How could he complain about her spending too much?

Lu Fei looked at Shi Qiuyun and casually said, “No, it’s just a small amount. It’s not worth mentioning.”

But seeing Lu Fei trying to reassure her, Shi Qiuyun’s underlying uneasiness intensified.

“Good brother, I can cook and do laundry. I can do something to earn money!”

Seeing Shi Qiuyun’s adorable expression, Lu Fei chuckled.

He walked up to her, patted her head, and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. If you really feel uneasy, then you can work for me!”

“How about you cook for me, and I’ll pay you a salary, how does that sound?”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Shi Qiuyun’s face lit up with a look of surprise.

“Really? Thank you, Good brother!”

Seeing this silly girl acting as if she was still counting money after being sold, Lu Fei couldn’t help but smile wryly.

…

The night passed.

Perhaps due to being tired from the day, Lu Fei slept particularly soundly.

He woke up early in the morning.

After freshening up, Lu Fei received a phone call.

On the other end of the line, there was lazy yet alluring voice of Liu Mengxiang.

“Lu Fei, when can we go to a hotel today? Let’s arrange the wedding.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Fei’s good mood was instantly dispelled.

Mu Changye asked Liu Mengxiang to help him plan the wedding.

This crazy woman must be planning something under the guise of this opportunity.

Liu Mengxiang might have some ulterior motives for today.

Thinking of this, Lu Fei suddenly remembered something. After a moment of silence, he spoke up,

“Sister-in-law, I hope you can use more accurate words. It’s about planning the wedding, and it’s not just the two of us!”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Liu Mengxiang’s voice continued to come through.

“It’s okay, a few people can join too!”

“I’m fine with it!”

Her seductive tone was like a little cat’s paw scratching at his heart. 

He could almost feel that seductive feeling even through the phone.

This enchantress!!!

Lu Fei’s tone remained silent. After a pause, he spoke directly,

“Let me make an appointment with Jiang Wenying to try on wedding dresses before our discussion time.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Then, after greeting Shi Qiuyun, he left the house immediately.

Driving his Bentley, Lu Fei headed straight for the Shanghai Development Zone.

He suddenly remembered that he had intercepted Luo Ge^[1]I have changed Rogge’s name to Luo Ge…It was due to my mistake I translated it wrong before, Lin Ran’s future little brother not long ago. 

He had planned to find Luo Ge after being busy for a while, but he kept delaying it until now.

Now, he was about to get married, and he suddenly remembered Luo Ge’s existence.

He remembered that Luo Ge’s martial arts skills were quite impressive among ordinary people.

It would be a good idea to call him over to be his driver.

In case there were any miscellaneous matters later, he could also ask Luo Ge to handle them.

Soon, Lu Fei arrived at the place where Luo Ge and his sister lived in the development zone, based on his memory.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Luo Ge playing around with his sister on the street.

It seemed that Luo Ying’s eyes had also improved by now.

Lu Fei got out of the car and walked towards Luo Ge.

Luo Ge, who was still playing with his sister, noticed someone approaching and suddenly turned around.

His expression froze, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Boss…”

Seeing that Luo Ge still called him “Boss,” Lu Fei didn’t say much and directly explained his intentions.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ge nodded immediately and agreed.

“Don’t worry, Boss. I can drive many cars, so being your driver won’t be a problem at all!”

Luo Ge didn’t feel resentful about Lu Fei asking him to be a driver. Instead, he solemnly agreed.

Seeing Luo Ge’s response, Lu Fei nodded in satisfaction.

He then took out the keys from his pocket and handed them to Luo Ge.

“I’ll transfer one million to you later. Use it to improve your sister’s life. She would need money for various things when she recovers from her illness and start to study again. Don’t refuse!”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Luo Ge’s figure paused, and a hint of sourness welled up in his heart.

Even as a seasoned veteran, his eyes couldn’t help but become moist.

If he were asked to go through fire and water, he wouldn’t even blink his eyes. But his only soft spot was his sister.

Lu Fei could have chosen not to do this, but he still did.

This increased Luo Ge’s gratitude towards Lu Fei even more.

As they got into the car and Lu Fei sat in the back seat, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, his tactics were effective.

Since this money was given to him by Mu Changye without much thought, why not use it to win over his loyal little brother?

Just now, a prompt from the villain’s halo rang in Lu Fei’s mind.

Luo Ge’s affinity towards him had increased to 98 degrees.

It had almost reached an impossible level of improvement.

It was as if, at this moment, if someone were to shoot at Lu Fei, Luo Ge would undoubtedly throw himself in harm’s way to protect him at all costs.

Sitting in the car, Lu Fei gave an address and then dialed a phone number on his mobile phone, connecting to Jiang Wenying.

The phone connected, and Jiang Wenying’s familiar and cold voice came through,

“Do you need something?”

Hearing Jiang Wenying’s somewhat indifferent words, Lu Fei frowned.

He didn’t owe her any money, so why was she acting like this?

Lu Fei calmly said, “Jiang Wenying, don’t forget the agreement between us. If you can’t consistently abide by the agreement, then let’s just consider it null and void!”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, a hint of grievance flashed in Jiang Wenying’s eyes.

“I haven’t forgotten!”

“If you haven’t forgotten, then what should you call me?”

“Don’t forget, I’m still your fiancée!”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Jiang Wenying’s heart tightened slightly.

They were not in front of others now, so she felt embarrassed to say that title.

There was silence on the phone for more than ten seconds.

Lu Fei was waiting, and Jiang Wenying was hesitating.

Finally, a somewhat hesitant voice came through the phone:

“Um… husband…”

Hearing Jiang Wenying’s voice, Lu Fei’s furrowed brow relaxed, and he continued, “Come to the commercial street right away!”

Jiang Wenying was puzzled, not knowing why Lu Fei was asking her to go to the commercial street!

Could it be that he wants to go on a date with her?

Should she prepare herself, like putting on some makeup?

Although she didn’t like wearing makeup, if she had to, she would just apply some lipstick and eyeshadow.

With just one sentence from Lu Fei, it sparked infinite speculation in Jiang Wenying’s mind.

“Why… why are we going to the commercial street?”

Lu Fei replied, “To try on wedding dresses, what else?”

Upon hearing this, a blush quickly spread across Jiang Wenying’s cheeks.

Too fast!

In the blink of an eye, she was going to try on wedding dresses?

Thinking about it, Jiang Wenying tried to regain her composure and replied after a pause, “I’ll be there in a little while!”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wenying’s cheeks couldn’t stop burning.

As Lu Fei hung up, Luo Ge continued driving, seemingly unaware of the content of Lu Fei’s phone call.

He remained focused on driving.

Lu Fei silently nodded to himself about this small detail.

For Lu Fei, he didn’t need someone overly intelligent. (At least not for now.)

He just needed someone who would diligently carry out tasks.

Highly intelligent people tend to overthink things.

Overthinking leads to dissatisfaction and wanting more.

Therefore, Lu Fei liked people like Luo Ge.

…………….

Soon, the car arrived at the location of the commercial street.

Luo Ge dutifully fulfilled his role as the driver, immediately getting out of the car and opening the door for Lu Fei.

However, Lu Fei stopped him from coming along.

He was going to try on wedding dresses, not looking for a venue. There was no need for so many people.

As they arrived at the largest bridal store in Shanghai, they saw a familiar figure already inside.

“Lu Fei, you finally came! I’ve been waiting for you!”

That person noticed Lu Fei even before he noticed her and quickly approached him.

She reached out her hand, intending to link arms with Lu Fei, but he subtly evaded her.

With a calm expression, mixed with a hint of confusion, Lu Fei asked, “Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?”

The unexpected appearance of Liu Mengxiang, this crazy woman, at this place was truly beyond Lu Fei’s expectations.

Earlier that morning, Lu Fei had purposely refused her suggestion to go together to check out wedding venues, and he had even hung up the phone on her.

But now, she was waiting for him here.

Could it be that she had deduced his whereabouts from his statement about trying on wedding dresses with Jiang Wenying?

Well, it wasn’t surprising…

There were only a few high-end bridal stores in Shanghai, and this was the largest one.

It wouldn’t be too difficult for Liu Mengxiang to guess.

If Lu Fei were to comment, he would wonder how idle she must be to do something like this.

After all, they would see each other after trying on the wedding dress in a little while.

It seemed like she had been waiting for a long time.

“I was just walking and suddenly felt chest tightness, so I took a rest here. It’s such a coincidence to see you here!” Liu Mengxiang said, one hand covering her heaving chest, looking uncomfortable as she gazed at Lu Fei.

“Could it be that you haven’t checked properly, and that’s why this happened?” she added.

Lu Fei was speechless as he watched Liu Mengxiang’s performance.

There was nothing wrong with her, but she insisted on pretending to be sick. It seemed that this crazy woman needed some education.

Suddenly, just as Lu Fei was thinking about it, a cold voice came from behind.

Jiang Wenying walked in expressionless, exuding an icy aura.

Along the way, Jiang Wenying had been somewhat looking forward to their visit to the bridal store. But at the entrance, she unexpectedly saw Lu Fei getting cozy with a seductive and enchanting woman.

Instantly, Jiang Wenying’s mood turned sour.

“Who is she?” Jiang Wenying glanced at Liu Mengxiang and asked coldly.

Jiang Wenying had never seen Liu Mengxiang before. Moreover, prior to this, Liu Mengxiang had always been known as Mu Changye’s lover. At most, Jiang Wenying had only heard Liu Mengxiang’s name and had never actually seen her.

So, witnessing this scene, she assumed that Lu Fei was getting cozy with some disreputable woman!
