Song Chichi quickly picked up the call.

Tang Wei told her about Lu Beichen’s investment.

Hearing this, Song Chichi replied, “Wow, Mr. Rich Boss wants to invest in me. My uncle has also agreed to invest in Red Maiden. The sum from their investment will definitely be more valuable than Zheng Min’s film.”

She recalled that Lu Beichen had also invested in that film. There were even rumors about the two of them online.

“Wei’er, I don’t think I want Third Master Lu’s investment. Don’t worry, even if you get a divorce, you still have my uncle. I’ll take care of you.”

“Pfft! Who told you that I’m getting a divorce? Zheng Min was the one who created that rumor online. Don’t you know what kind of person she is? Please, Lu Beichen doesn’t even know what she looks like.” Tang Wei couldn’t help but laugh as she explained to her best friend.

“What? This damned Zheng Min is really good at acting! I even taught my uncle how to identify white lotus flowers today using Zheng Min as an example.” Song Chichi cursed angrily.

At the mention of Song Tianwen, Tang Wei remembered that he wanted to have dinner with her today, but the meal was delayed because she had an issue.

If this continued, it would probably be awkward the next time they met.

“Chichi, I’ll treat you and your uncle to lunch tomorrow. After all, I’ve already promised him.” Tang Wei said.

Song Chichi was busy cursing Zheng Min, but when she heard her best friend’s words, she quickly changed her words and said, “Sure. You don’t know how much he lectured me when I told him that you couldn’t make it to the meal.”

“Such a thing happened?” Tang Wei asked.

Song Chichi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She smiled at the man on the sofa and said to her best friend, “Just kidding, just kidding. What time should we meet up tomorrow?”

“I think 11 o’clock in the afternoon should be okay. I have something else to do afterward.”

“Okay.” Song Chichi agreed readily.

After the two of them finished chatting, they hung up.

Song Chichi looked at the man who was still sulking in her living room. She put on a fawning smile. “Uncle, don’t be angry. Look, Wei’er asked you out this time. It’s better than you asking her out.”

Song Tianwen’s heart was filled with joy, but he did not show it on his face. He snorted coldly, “Did I lecture you?”

“No, no. Uncle, you’re the best. How could you be willing to lecture me? If you really lectured me, then I probably deserve it.” Song Chichi waved her hand.

“Alright, don’t slip your tongue again next time.”

“Find a chance to leave for a while during dinner tomorrow, understood?” Song Tianwen instructed.

Song Chichi was puzzled, but she could not ask further. “Okay!”

After the man finished speaking, he stood up and left the residence.

Song Chichi sat down on the sofa and thought about what her uncle had said just now. She sighed sadly.

“Wei’er is already married, but Uncle is still trying hard to get her. The Song family is really full of hopeless romantics. My uncle is one, and so am I.”

Thinking of Tang Yannan, she sighed again.

Madam Song came out of the kitchen with a face mask on. “Why are you sighing so late at night? Are you pretending to be artistic again?”

“Mom!” Song Chichi turned her head and saw her mother holding a bowl of noodles. She pouted. “You’ve already put on a mask, why are you eating so late at night?”

“What, you don’t want to?” Madam Song took off her facial mask and asked her daughter with raised eyebrows.

“I do, I do!” Song Chi Chi narrowed her eyes and smiled.

While the mother and daughter were eating, Madam Song said, “Let Little Wei come over soon. I haven’t seen that girl in a long time.”

“Yes, yes.” Song Chi replied.

The next day.

When Tang Wei woke up, she saw Lu Beichen putting on his clothes in front of the mirror. She touched the area beside her and realized that Lu Beichen had really slept with her on the same bed again.

She only thought she was dreaming last night.

Tang Wei glanced at the man again.

The man’s upper body was bare, and his back was strong. He picked up a thin sweater and put it on.

After putting on his clothes, his sharp eyes looked at the woman who had woken up in the mirror.

His thin lips parted. “I’m going to work first. You don’t have to eat in the front hall anymore, you can just eat here. I’ve already instructed the servants to turn on the stove here, but in the end, where you eat is up to you.”

Lu Beichen added, worried that actually enjoyed eating in the front hall.

Tang Wei got up, the quilt slipping down to her waist. She heard this and replied, “Yes, thank you.”

Lu Beichen nodded.

Seeing that he was about to leave, shei hurriedly shouted, “Lu Beichen.”

The man’s hand that was buttoning his sleeves paused. He did not turn around as he said, “Hmm?”

She grabbed the navy blue quilt with her fair and tender fingers and said softly, “It’s cold outside. Take care to keep warm.”

After saying that, she pursed her lips nervously. Fortunately, the man did not turn around, or else she would’ve felt very awkward.

However, before she realized it, he had already turned around.

Tang Wei’s mouth was slightly open from shock, and she couldn’t hide the redness on her face in time.

Lu Beichen smiled slightly. “Got it. I’ll be leaving first.”

“Hmm? Oh, alright.” She was stunned for a while before she replied.

His deep eyes looked at her for a while before he left.

Tang Wei exhaled. He really didn’t have to turn around just to tell her that.

It made her… Huh?

Noticing something, she lifted the quilt and ran to the mirror.

Her eyes slowly widened. She looked down and saw that her pajamas had a button missing, the white and fair skin inside clearly visible. Tang Wei’s face instantly turned even redder.

“Ahhhhhhhh- I’m going to die!”

She groaned as she covered her face.

Outside, Lu Beichen heard her scream coming from the room. He let out a light laugh, his body in a good mood as he walked toward the car that was parked 500 meters away from the residence.

Xiao Chen looked at his Third Master. In the past, he would always be expressionless and depressed whenever he was going to work. However, he seemed different today.

Outside the car, Lu Beichen saw Lu Gui walking out of Lu Garden. He raised his voice and said, “Second Brother, you should worry about yourself from now. I can take care of my wife’s dinner, so you don’t have to treat her.”

His voice was loud enough, instantly waking up Lu Gui from his daze. After returning to his senses, his face turned pale.

After Lu Beichen finished speaking, he smirked slightly as he gave his second brother a deep stare before getting into the car.

When Xiao Chen saw Lu Beichen finally open the car door and get into the vehicle, he could no longer hold back his gossipy nature.

“Third Master seems very happy today,” he said with a smile.

The man hummed in return.

Xiao Chen turned his head to look at him when he got the answer. He was indeed in a good mood. Usually, after he asked a question, the man would either not answer or sweep a sharp glare at him. Whenever that happened, he wouldn’t dare to say another word for a long time.

Thinking of this, he happily retracted his gaze and started the car.

Lu Beichen pinched his empty ring finger and asked casually, “Xiao Chen, do you have a girlfriend?”

Xiao Chen was stunned and replied, “How would I have the time to get a girlfriend? Third Master, I didn’t mean to complain.”

Lu Beichen adjusted his sitting posture and asked, “It’s fine. If you have a girlfriend and people outside misunderstood that you have a relationship with another woman, what would you do?”

“Of course I would explain to them that I have a girlfriend,” Xiao Chen answered reflexively. “I wouldn’t want anyone to misunderstand.”

“Oh.” Lu Beichen nodded.

Xiao Chen didn’t ask why his Third Master was asking that. After all, he was only responsible for answering questions, not giving rhetorical replies.

“I’ll give you a few more days off this weekend. Go on a date.”

The boy was stunned and immediately said with a sad face, “Third Master, if I did anything wrong, you can punish me. However, please don’t fire me.”
