Chapter 44

Instinctively, Tang Xinluo took the black card and muttered, “But I don’t even know when your birthday is.”

Lu Yuchen’s bottomless eyes flashed a sinister look, but it could not be told from his face.

Not only could she not tell, but there was even a smile on his cold face.

He said every word slowly, and his handsome face looked extremely elegant to her. “As Mrs. Lu, you should know the basic information about Mr. Lu. This is the first task you should complete. You should ask Meng Ze about this kind of thing. He will tell you.”

After he finished talking, he squinted his dark eyes; and a temper flashed in his gaze. “Next time, I don’t want to hear such words from Mrs. Lu’s mouth.”

The heart that was weirdly beating so quickly finally calmed down.

Tang Xinluo looked at the man in front of him and nodded knowingly.

“I know, Mr. Chen.”

Work, he said. This was work only.

She should understand his message and his situations, but the reason for her to understand was not because of others, but because he was her ‘client’.

She took advantage of him and became his wife. To him, this identity as Mrs. Lu must be a profession that she must act well in.

It was no wonder why his attitude would become like that in front of the outsiders.

It turned out that everything was just an acting show.

Lu Yuchen’s dark eyes furrowed. When he heard her call him ‘Mr. Chen’, he felt uneasy.

“Don’t call me Mr. Chen anymore.”

Tang Xinluo nodded. That was right, Assistant Meng and the rest did not call him that privately.

‘Mr. Chen’… that was outsiders’ name for him.

“I know, Master Lu.” Do you have anything else to instruct me?” Tang Xinluo obediently changed her way of calling, but it angered the man sitting beside her.

“Instruct?” His lips curled up, and there was something sinister about his smile.

“Today is our first day of collecting our certificate. What do you think you should do as Lu Yuchen’s wife?” When he said this, he had already changed his posture. The man that was originally lazing like a black panther suddenly pressed on her and trapped her body in between him and the couch.

“I… I don’t know.” She anxiously looked aside and avoided his terrifying gaze.

She lied. Of course, she knew that the fire in the man’s eyes meant.

Lu Yuchen snickered. “Since dear Mrs. Lu doesn’t know, then let Mr. Lu revise with you.”

Before Tang Xinluo could protest, she was suddenly carried by Lu Yuchen in bridal style.

When she reacted, her face was already against Lu Yuchen’s chest; and her petite body was buried in his arms. Lu Yuchen’s warm palm was against her back.

Tang Xinluo’s face suddenly turned red as she could feel the warmth of that hand.

She could not even breathe normally when he leaned so close to her.

“You. Put me down!” She resisted.

“Are you sure?” The man lowered his head but kept his arms tighter.

Instantly, Tang Xinluo was shocked until her body tensed up; she did not dare to move.

Lu Yuchen did not want to just let go of her so easily.
