The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

However, Su Wen didn't expect that the taciturn Yan Bei also had a cunning side. He used the term "sister-in-law" to automatically become someone's elder brother...

When Lu Zheng learned the truth, he raised his long eyebrows and smiled, but he ruthlessly ordered the sales clerk at the counter: "Wrap up this one, the whole set, and that one too... Yes, that's right, put it on your General Manager Yan's tab."

It is said that Yan Family Jewelry experienced negative sales growth that quarter…

After Yan Bei left, Xue Shaofeng asked her, "How do you know Young Master Yan?"

She thought for a moment and said tactfully, "A friend of a friend, we're not really that close."

What did he talk to you about?

"It's nothing, they just gave me a business card and told me to go to their counter." Suwen obediently handed the business card to Xue Shaofeng for inspection. In her eyes, this man was like her own brother.

Having been through many such occasions, Xue Shaofeng immediately recognized that the business card Yan Bei had given her was a personal one, clearly different from the business cards handed out at typical banquets. His gaze towards her became more scrutinizing.

Xue Shaofeng handed the business card back to her and said, "Since we're friends, you can keep it. But if anyone gives you jewelry in the future, remember not to accept it."

"Don't worry, I haven't received any gifts other than those from fans." She knew this much; there were some things she really wouldn't dare accept.

The event ended very late that day. When Suwen returned home, she saw Lu Zheng's leather shoes in the entryway and knew that he had already come back.

I changed into slippers and tiptoed into the room. The bedroom light was off, and a figure was lying on the bed with their back to me.

After a busy day, returning home and knowing that I'm not alone brings a sense of peace, and a smile unconsciously appears on my face.

Knowing that he was having a hard time adjusting to the time difference, Suwen didn't wake him. She went into the bathroom to take a shower, changed into her pajamas, and quietly got into bed from the other side.

She had just lain down when a long arm wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly. His warm breath brushed against her neck, and his voice, deep and alluring in the darkness, asked, "You're back?"

"You're not asleep?" Suwen turned her face, trying to see him clearly in the darkness.

Lu Zheng kissed the tip of her nose: "How could I bear to sleep before I could wait for you?"

A little farewell is better than a wedding.

The passion of last night made Suwen blush and feel hot whenever she thought about it. She must have really missed him, because she was more proactive than usual. The two of them were a little out of control, with a kind of fierce determination to drain each other dry, like kids who had gone crazy all night in college and forgot about curfew, only to fall asleep in each other's arms at dawn, drenched in sweat.

Suwen got up first in the morning. Since she had nothing to do, she took a shower and started cooking in the kitchen. Lu Zheng woke up around noon, feeling satisfied. He sat on the big bed in the bedroom, watching the busy little figure in the kitchen, a smile filling his eyes.

He got up and opened the bedside table drawer, where there were two boxes of condoms. Suwen had bought them when they went to the supermarket together one day when she first moved in. However, when the feeling arose, it wasn't always easy to stop. They had been living together for so long, and they hadn't used many condoms.

Watching her stay obediently by his side, cooking for him and drawing his bathwater like a little wife, and sometimes carefully trying to please him with her little schemes, he unconsciously began to look forward to her.

Perhaps they can stay like this forever, always together.

Perhaps they could have a child, so she wouldn't leave them again...

The midday hunger pangs slowly turned into warmth amidst this sudden surge of emotion.

Lu Zheng walked out of the bedroom. Su Wen was setting the table. When she saw him get up, she immediately smiled and said, "The timing is just right. We can eat now. Go wash up quickly."

Covered in sweat, Lu Zheng took a shower and changed his clothes. When he came out, Su Wen wasn't in the living room. He went into the bedroom and saw Su Wen squatting on the floor packing her suitcase.

Her identification documents, underwear, and even the little alarm clock she liked to keep on her bedside table were all put away.

"Where are you going?"

The sudden sound startled her. Suwen stood up and looked at him. There was a dark cloud clearly in Lu Zheng's eyes.

She tried her best to organize her thoughts quickly and carefully: "Lu Zheng, there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you while you've been away these past few days. I feel it's not very convenient for us to live together like this right now, so..."

Before she could finish speaking, the gloom in Lu Zheng's eyes deepened: "Where is it inconvenient?"

"It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just..." Suwen began to ramble.

Lu Zheng grabbed her hand: "Tell me what's inconvenient, and I can change it. Is the house not big enough? Or do you not like the decoration? Just tell me, I can satisfy you no matter what you want."

“No, Lu Zheng.” She struggled slightly, but the grip on her wrist tightened, causing her to wince in pain. “My mother came to the company to see me; she wants me to move back. Besides, I’m somewhat famous now, and living here will inevitably lead to paparazzi photos. Do you want to see that kind of scandal?”

He was furious and said without thinking, "Whoever dares to publish this kind of news, I'll make sure they disappear from Beijing tomorrow."

With a touch of childlike capriciousness, Suwen was helpless.

Silence spread silently between the two.

After a long silence, Lu Zheng finally released her hand and asked calmly, "Have you decided to move out?"

Suwen took a deep breath and nodded: "I used the signing bonus to buy an apartment near the Fourth Ring Road. Here is the key to the apartment. I've reserved a spare for you, so you can come anytime."

She handed over the keys with both hands, her expression somewhat ingratiating.

Snapped--

He slapped the key to the ground.

Suwen stared blankly at the key that had fallen onto the carpet.

Lu Zheng stared intently at her, his eyes filled with disappointment: "Nie Suwen, do you even have a heart? Three years ago, you disappeared without a trace without a word, and three years later, you're still the same! Did you even ask for my opinion before you moved out? Yes, I was on a business trip, but couldn't you at least make a phone call? What am I to you? Don't I deserve even a little bit of your responsibility?"

Suwen was stunned by his outburst. It was the first time she had seen him so angry since their reunion, and it seemed to come out of nowhere. Suwen felt wronged. Wasn't she just asking for his opinion? If he disagreed, he should just agree. Did he have to get so angry? And he even accused her of being irresponsible, as if she had abandoned him after starting something.

However, he was in a bad mood, and Suwen didn't want to add fuel to the fire. She pursed her lips, looking at Lu Zheng with unease.

After Lu Zheng finished yelling, he stared at her and saw that she was looking at him pitifully with red eyes like a little rabbit. He couldn't say any more harsh words.

He realized he was overreacting; she was a celebrity now, and it was only right that she be cautious about her private life. Besides, living in this small house wasn't a long-term solution. But the thought that after three years, she was still so carefree filled him with resentment that he couldn't shake off.

He glanced at the luggage on the floor, forced a bitter smile, and said, "If you want to leave, then leave." With that, he turned abruptly and left the bedroom. The door slammed shut outside, and he was gone.

Suwen remained silent, squatted down, and continued packing her luggage: underwear, shirts... Her fingers slid over each of her own clothes in the closet, and she couldn't help but recall the shock she felt when she first moved in and saw this closet full of women's clothing.

She couldn't take it anymore. She threw down the clothes in her hands, got up, and saw that lunch was still laid out on the dining table in the living room outside: three dishes and a soup, two bowls of rice, and even chopsticks were set out. He hadn't eaten any of it; what a waste.

Suwen pouted, walked to the table, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started shoveling rice into her mouth.

The cold rice clung stickily to her tongue, impossible to swallow. She held the bowl, tears silently falling onto the grains of rice.

After more than two months of post-production editing, Suwen's first drama is finally set to premiere on satellite TV. This is followed by a period of intense promotion.

Before this, the director gathered the main actors together for a meal, partly to wish them great success in the ratings and partly to encourage them to put in more effort during the promotion.

After a few rounds of drinks and the formalities were over, it was time for casual conversation among the close actors.

Zhou Xiaochuan is the male lead. Tonight, Xing Manzi is sitting to his left and Nie Suwen is sitting to his right. He looks very happy.

When he toasted the director, the director joked with him: "As soon as these stills came out, everyone online said that you and Manzi look good together. Who knows, once this show airs, we might even create a best on-screen couple."

The director started it off, and everyone began joking about Zhou Xiaochuan. The music producer joined in, saying, "Xiaochuan's song this time is pretty good too. His voice blends quite harmoniously with Susu's. I think this song is going to be a hit."

The director had heard the end credits song and immediately agreed: "It's going to be a hit, it has to be a hit."

The quality of the recorded end credits song surprised Suwen greatly. She didn't know whether to praise the producer's professionalism or the sound engineer's skill. Actually, this is a very masculine song. Zhou Xiaochuan's voice is not particularly distinctive; it belongs to the gentle love song school, and his performance sounded somewhat thin and lacked a powerful presence. However, Suwen's deep voice perfectly compensated for the lack of strength in his singing, creating a balance that breathed new life into the song.

After the party, Zhou Xiaochuan offered to drive her home, saying he wanted to properly thank her for collaborating on the end credits song. As soon as they reached the parking lot, Suwen saw the pure white Maserati parked casually in the parking area.

The car was locked, and there was no one inside.

She stopped and said to Zhou Xiaochuan, "Excuse me, I think I left something in the private room. You can go ahead, I'll go back and look for it."

"Do you want me to help you look?"

"No need." With that, she rushed into the elevator.
