ter the house openly. For Qiao Xun, who was only nominally Mrs. Lu, this was a great humiliation.About two minutes,Lu Ze walked in from outside, his expression slightly tense.Bai Xiaoxiao returned to...Joe didn't make eye contact with him.

She leaned against the headboard, her voice barely a whisper: "I think the price you mentioned last night also included my silence about Bai Xiaoxiao and any future lovers, didn't it"

Lu Ze didn't speak.

Joe continued, "Lu Ze, when you chose to get involved with Bai Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't have considered my feelings anymore! Besides, are we husband and wife No, like you said, we are just...we are just marriage partners!"

He made himself very clear.

She put on another act of innocence and resentment, it was pathetic.

Joe had just finished speaking when Lu Ze let out a sneer.

He came to her side, gently holding her chin, a long finger lightly stroking her rosy lips. He gazed at the alluring redness, his voice husky: "So sharp-tongued!"

Joe was embarrassed and wanted to look away.

Lu Ze suddenly leaned in, pressing her against the headboard. His high nose bridge pressed against hers, and his lips were too, that soft touch was very tempting.

Lu Ze lowered his eyes, staring intently, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

One day, I'm going to taste this for myself.

Qiao Xun was no longer a simple girl. She had spent three years of married life with Lu Ze, and she could understand the man's meaning just by thinking about it a little...

After marriage, sometimes when he had been drinking at social gatherings, he would ask her to do that thing. But she always refused. He tried to be forceful, and she would just bury her head under the pillow and cry. So for three years, she really never did it for him.

> In the past, unwillingness was a woman's pride.

Now she is unwilling because she doesn't love him anymore, naturally she wouldn't do this for him.

Joe's lips trembled slightly....

Lu Ze let go of her and walked into the bathroom to change into the clothes he had worn when he arrived last night.

After he came out, he calmly said, "I'll wait for your reply! Mrs. Lu, don't make me wait too long."

Joe's eyes lifted.

Her eyes were red, filled with grievance and humiliation.

Lu Ze let out a snort and turned to leave.

Walking to the first floor, the driver was already waiting. The black elongated limousine gleamed luxuriously in the morning light.

The driver opened the car door and, holding onto the roof of the car, asked: "Mr. Lu! Are you going to the company"

Lu Ze did not speak.

He turned to look upstairs. He saw Qiao Xun standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, silently gazing out at the view. The projections of the window panes fell upon her, lines of light and shadow resembling ribbons that confined her, also adding a touch of alluring fragility to her.

Only outside, a branch of maple tree's leaves stretch out.

The maple leaves are like fire.

Vibrant.

After looking for a long time, Lu Ze softly said to the driver, "Go to the company!"

After getting on the car, he leaned back against the leather headrest, closing his eyes to rest.

He was thinking of Qiao Xun,

He was thinking about her choice, thinking about how she pretended not to hear about Bai Xiaoxiao's matter, thinking about when she returned, they would be a couple in name only. During the day they would pretend to be loving husband and wife, at night they would satisfy each other physically, or maybe in a few years he would have her give birth to the heir of the Lu family.

But there is no love!

He doesn't love Qiao Xun, and Qiao Xun doesn't love him either!

That's great.

Actually, most couples in their circle are like this, very harmonious. When the husband is no longer satisfied with his wife's figure after she has given birth, he will develop relationships outside of the marriage. The wives won't say much either. The clever ones will pretend to be deaf and dumb. The more considerate ones will even help their husbands cover up and get rid of their mistresses.

It's great, everyone is like that!
