After they came downstairs, Aunt Wang pulled her to the living room, where breakfast was already laid out.

“If I had known earlier, I would have prepared some suitable soup for you. However, this breakfast shouldn’t be that bad either. Have some first.”

“Aunt Wang!” Tang Wei shouted in embarrassment.

“Hahaha, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Hurry up and eat. Are you going out in a bit?”

Tang Wei nodded with a slightly red face. She looked at a glass of milk set on the table and paused for a bit before taking a cup of soy milk instead.

“I’ll get someone to send you off later. This is what Third Master instructed me to do yesterday,” Aunt Wang said.

Tang Wei replied, “No need. I’ve already called for a car. Aunt Wang, I’ll be buying a car soon, so I won’t be needing anyone from the manor to send me off anymore in the future.”

She hastily ate a few mouthfuls and left the building.

Aunt Wang pursed her lips as she watched the woman leave in a hurry. She wanted to report this matter to her Third Master. How could these two be so distant when they had just gotten married?

Not long after Tang Wei left, Xiao Chen came.

Xiao Chen was shocked when he found out from Aunt Wang that Lu Beichen was still sleeping in his room.

He quickly went upstairs and knocked on the second floor bedroom.

After knocking a few times, he recalled that this was Madam’s bedroom. He slapped his forehead and turned to leave.

“Kacha!”

The bedroom door opened.

Xiao Chen turned around and saw that it was Lu Beichen. He said in confusion, “Third Master, why are you…”

He remembered that the man had asked him to move his clothes in this room to the study room yesterday.

“What time is it?” Lu Beichen said in a low voice.

“It’s past nine o’clock. Third Master, it’s almost ten o’clock already. You’re very late for the meeting.” Xiao Chen said shakily.

Lu Beichen frowned. He turned around and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Looking at the other lady’s toothbrush, he was stunned for a moment. In an instant, last night’s wonderful memories swept through his mind.

Lu Beichen gulped. “F*ck!”

In his trance, he realized that he had accidentally swallowed the water after brushing his teeth.

Afterward, he casually washed his face twice. He did not even have time to wipe his face clean before he strode out of the bathroom and walked toward the big bed. His large hand grabbed the gray bed sheet and pulled it open.

The man’s dark eyes fell on the rose colored stain on the sheet.

Five minutes later, he went downstairs in a good mood.

“Where’s Madam?” Lu Beichen asked.

“She went out. Third Master, I wanted to get someone to send Madam off, but she refused. She even said that she will be buying a car soon, so she won’t be needing people to send her off anymore in the future.”

Lu Beichen paused from eating his breakfast. He lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

Aunt Wang did not know what her Third Master was thinking. She smiled and said, “You see, Third Master…”

Lu Beichen glanced at her and said lightly, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Third Master, girls are delicate. You really should be gentler next time.”

Aunt Wang immediately left after saying that.

Lu Beichen and Xiao Chen were both speechless.

Xiao Chen knew that his Third Master had made love last night. It was no wonder his voice was low when he opened the door. Moreover, he even looked satisfied, and seemed more approachable than usual after washing up.

Lu Beichen pursed his lips and looked at the empty cup of soy milk and the full glass of milk.

The man slightly smiled, taking note of the fact that Tang Wei loved to drink soy milk.

However, when he thought about how she was being so distant after they had intercourse, he felt a little stifled.

“I’m going to the meeting.” Lu Beichen said and walked out.

Xiao Chen silently lit a candle for the group of executives. The Third Master’s meeting was going to be held later than the set time, so their rest time would definitely be delayed.

He thought so, but in fact…

After Lu Beichen arrived at the meeting room, he said, “Sorry for making everyone wait.”

All the executives with bad expressions put on polite smiles.

“No worries, President. It hasn’t been too long since we’ve waited.”

“Yes, the President has many things to deal with everyday, so it’s only right that he’s busy.”

Xiao Chen was speechless.

Lu Beichen nodded. “Then let’s begin.”

The high-ranking officials began to describe the problems they had at work.

It was supposed to be a criticism meeting today, and they didn’t want to be criticized, so they had arrived in the meeting room early in the morning to perform better. However, they did not expect to wait for more than an hour. Even while waiting for their President, they did not dare to move, afraid that he would be quietly watching them from behind. After all, there were cameras everywhere to watch their movements.

After Executive Wang finished his statement, he waited for Lu Beichen’s reply. However, after waiting for a second or two, the man’s face did not turn cold at all.

Contrary to his expectations, the man raised his hand to let him sit down and said, “Go down and take note next time. This isn’t the first time your team has encountered such a problem.”

Executive Wang was stunned for a second before he quickly said, “Y-yes, President.”

The others looked at each other. In the past, Lu Beichen would have thrown the documents out by now. It would’ve been merciful enough of him if he didn’t smash Executive Wang’s face. Today… Today was truly a blessed day.

On the other hand, Lu Beichen didn’t know what was wrong with him today. He also felt that his behavior was quite strange…

Was it Tang Wei’s doing?

Heh, how could that be? He pressed on his heart and clicked his tongue.

The man who was reporting stopped and stared nervously. Oh my god, the President was still the same President. He was definitely going to criticize him.

Lu Beichen looked up after a few seconds. “Continue.”

He wondered what Tang Wei was doing outside.

He glanced at the phone on the table. Come to think of it, he didn’t seem to have her contact information.

Oh well, forget it. She’s just a woman who he decided to marry last minute. They don’t even have feelings for each other, so why is he still being so thick-skinned?

In an instant, the atmosphere around him dropped to a freezing temperature. The other executives did not know why the man had suddenly turned back into his usual stance. Alas, they could feel the bone-chilling coldness emanating from him.

On the other side,

Xiaoxiang Pavilion was an elegant tea shop.

Tang Wei sat in a cubicle separated by a screen while listening to someone playing the zither.

Not long after, Song Chichi arrived.

Song Chichi sat beside her, giving her a stare.

Tang Wei felt a little guilty, mainly because she was still feeling embarrassed.

“Your skin has gotten better again. You look more radiant than usual, too. What’s the secret?” Song Chichi lowered her voice as if they were exchanging secrets.

“There’s no secret except that I just have a husband.” Tang Wei whispered into her ear.

After saying this, she quickly covered her best friend’s mouth because she knew that the girl would definitely scream.

Song Chichi suppressed the curiosity and excitement in her heart, gesturing Tang Wei to let go.

“Gosh, you’ve grown up so much…”

Tang Wei was speechless.

Afterward, the two of them chatted about girly things.

Half an hour later, Director Feng arrived.

Director Feng looked like a righteous and shrewd person. In the entertainment industry, his eyes were nicknamed “Fiery Golden Eyes” by the people.

This was because the films directed by him all turned out popular, and the entire crew would always become popular as well. The leading actors and even the supporting roles of those films would always be able to make a name for themselves.

Tang Wei had written ten scripts, three of which were written by Director Feng. This time, she had also written the fourth one.

The two of them could be considered to be in a cooperative relationship.

“Hello, Director Feng.”

“Long time no see, Scriptwriter Tang.”

“Let me introduce you. This is my best friend, Song Chichi.” Tang Wei said.

Song Chichi extended her hand respectfully. “Nice to meet you, Director Feng.”

Director Feng slowly stretched out his hand while replying, “Nice to meet you too.”

The three of them sat around a rectangular table, a waitress brewing tea at one end.

Director Feng was the first to speak up. “I’ve read ‘Red Maze’. It’s very well-written and you portrayed the characters nicely. Scriptwriter Tang, I really have nothing to say when it comes to the works you produce.”
