The Bully President and the Serious Wife

The car was eerily quiet. Mrs. Xie's eyes flickered between the two of them.

Mrs. Xie broke the silence. "You're not only involved with my son, but also with that Grant kid. You're a seductive vixen."

Xu Lu's lips curled up. "As I told you, I'm beautiful and in great shape—an expert at seducing men. No one can resist me if I choose. You've only seen one Grant. If I have the chance in the future, I'll show you some more."

Mrs. Xie blushed. "You...you are so shameless..."

Xu Lu chuckled. "Of course, what else can I have to do with your son?"

"You two. Humph! You two are the same." She turned her head and ignored them.

Xu Lu's smile slowly disappeared.

Xie Zhenting was concentrating on driving, not getting involved in the quarrel between the two and treating them as air.

Back at the Xie family, Xie Zhenting opened the car door and let Mrs. Xie get out first. Then, he opened the door for Xu Lu. "Please get out."

Xu Lu got out of the car and held Xie Zhenting tightly. "Auntie, please lend me your son for the night. I will return him to you tomorrow."

Mrs. Xie looked defensive. “What…what do you want?”

Xu Lu smiled. "Relax, I won't 'eat him'."

Xie Zhenting rolled his eyes. "Don't keep bringing this up. Eat me if you dare." If you dare, I'll strip naked and get ready for you.

Xie Zhenting told Mrs. Xie. “Why don’t you go inside first? Didn’t you just say you weren’t feeling well? Go and get some rest.”

Mrs. Xie looked at Xu Lu, a little worried. She grabbed Xie Zhenting's arm and said, "No... why don't you lend me yourself tonight?"

Xu Lu thought Mrs. Xie was really cute. She had never met someone so innocent at her age.

She smiled, then shook her head and responded to Mrs. Xie: "It's a pity, we can't do this. There are some things two women can't do."

Mrs. Xie's face turned red. "You..."

Xie Zhenting patted Mrs. Xie’s arm and hugged him in laughter. “Mom, you should go in. If there is any mention of eating, it will be your son who will eat her!”

Mrs. Xie was a little uncertain. “Can you…can you?”

She had seen how violent Xu Lu could be. In addition, she still doubted her son's ability and thought she should make him some soup or something to help his kidneys.

Xie Zhenting’s face darkened. “Mom, you. Go in now.”

Mrs. Xie's mouth twitched. She looked at Xu Lu, then at Xie Zhenting.

“Auntie, please don’t worry. I promise your son will come back alive.”

Mrs. Xie was conflicted. "You...don't go too far..."

Xu Lu waved. “Don’t worry, Auntie.”

Xie Zhenting called out coldly. "Mom..."

"Okay, I'm going in..." Mrs. Xie walked in reluctantly.

Xu Lu got into her car, and they slowly drove away from Xie's house.

Xie Zhenting asked: "Where are you going?"

Xu Lu replied contemptuously: "Do you have money to get a hotel room?"

Xie Zhenting smiled happily. "I have everything here, except the hotel room. I want you to treat me. So, are you going to treat me to the hotel room?"

Xu Lu asked face to face: "Is my house renovated?"

“Of course, but it’s my house. I’m your landlord.”

Xu Lu caressed Xie Zhenting’s face tenderly. “Let’s go. Your house, I’ll treat you.”

This sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning. Xie Zhenting felt that his face did not get hot. After being with Xu Lu for so long, he had long since abandoned his self-esteem.

After a moment of silence, Xie Zhenting couldn't help but ask: "Your attitude towards Grant is quite cruel. Don't you sympathize with him?"

“I’m going through hell right now. No need to drag him along with me.”

“What about me…”

Xu Lu glanced at him. "What do you think?"

Xie Zhenting was silent.

As the car drove into the gorgeous residence, Xu Lu felt as if she hadn't been home for a long time.

Entering the elevator, they chose the sixteenth floor and waited for the elevator to slowly rise.

Xie Zhenting's suppressed anger finally erupted, "You..."

Xu Lu placed her hand on Xie Zhenting's lips, kissed him with her fingertips, and whispered, "Shh... If you have anything to say, save it for bed."

Xie Zhenting's brain couldn't process this question for the time being. Is this... is this real? Happiness came so suddenly that he couldn't believe it.

“You’d better not break your promise. Even if you do, it will be of no use.”

'Ding. '

The elevator door opened. Xie Zhenting hugged Xu Lu and rushed towards her door enthusiastically.

Xie Zhenting pressed the code for the lock and went in. When the door closed, Xu Lu vaguely saw Jin Xuechuan behind Xie Zhenting.

Jin Xuechuan stared at Xu Lu in astonishment. The door closed and he stood outside, forgetting why he came back tonight.

Xu Lu smiled. You really can run into someone you know anywhere!

In the past, she saw Jin Xuechuan having outdoor activities with others on the balcony, and now it was his turn to see her entangled with Xie Zhenting. Was it... karma?

Xie Zhenting bit Xu Lu. “What are you laughing at in this situation?”

Xu Lu's hands were tangled in Xie Zhenting's hair. "I was just thinking, at such a wonderful moment, asking a handsome guy to spend the night seems like a good choice..."

Xie Zhenting lifted Xu Lu off the floor. “You should have made this choice a long time ago. Many wonderful nights have been wasted.”

Xu Lu laughed. "That's why I'm lending you for the night instead of lending it to your mother..."

Xie Zhenting supported Xu Lu with one arm and turned on the switch with the other hand. The room was bright. The interior design and decoration were brand new.

There is no other smell except a hint of formaldehyde.

After the renovation, what was originally a small studio apartment now looks like a luxurious presidential suite.

Xu Lu looked around the strange room with mixed feelings. This used to be the only place she could live, but that seemed to have disappeared.

When she woke up, Xie Zhenting had already thrown her onto the bed.

Xie Zhenting pressed himself on her. “Xu Lu, you should take me seriously. Why are you always distracted?”

Xu Lu stretched out her arms and hooked them around his neck. "I was wondering what position would be better."

Xie Zhenting sneezed. “If I believed you, I’d be an idiot.”

He lifted Xu Lu's skirt. "Since I've been holding out for so long, there's no harm in waiting a little longer. Let me know what happened between you and Grant in Country M?"

Xu Lu raised her eyebrows. Xie Zhenting couldn't help but ask this question.

She looked into Xie Zhenting's dark eyes. "Two young people are trapped in a place full of danger and evil. We trust and help each other. In this situation, isn't it normal to develop feelings for each other?"

Unfortunately, these feelings were crushed by reality before they could develop into love.

The crisis is then resolved. He returns to his upper-class life, and she to hers.

To be honest, it’s best not to know each other.

Xie Zhenting had to feel sour.
