What were the two of them doing? Aunt Cheng gave them a confused but sympathetic gaze.

Su Rong looked at Tang Wei unhappily.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Tang Wei resumed her serious look and said casually, “Nothing?”

“Also, Beichen doesn’t like meat. He likes vegetables.”

Tang Wei picked up some green organic vegetables and put them in the man’s small bowl. She looked at the delicate girl provocatively.

“You, you…” Su Rong couldn’t come up with anything more ruthless. It couldn’t be helped that she didn’t know about this.

She looked extremely aggrieved, but when she saw the man’s reaction in the next second, she instantly smiled.

When Lu Beichen heard the woman say he did not like meat, he looked at her in surprise. She knew about his preferences?

However, this did not change the fact that she had gone outto lunch with another man today. He could’ve tolerated it if it was between three people, but it was just her and a man alone…

Hence, he decided to get revenge.

Lu Beichen slowly and elegantly reached his chopsticks into the plate with meat. He then picked it up and put it into his mouth. He nodded with a sense of belonging.

“I didn’t know meat could be so delicious,” he said lightly.

Tang Wei’s disguised provocation instantly collapsed. She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, “I’ve never seen this new method of yours in tearing me down.”

“I never said I don’t like meat,” Lu Beichen said calmly.

“You clearly… Alright, whatever, it’s up to you.” Tang Wei compromised. She didn’t want to argue with him about meaningless things.

Lu Beichen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Rong. He said in a low voice, “Continue to play your role.”

“Are you bored?”

Lu Beichen shook his head.

Aunt Cheng saw that Tang Wei had an unpleasant expression, so she asked, “Little Wei, is the food not to your liking?”

“No, I’m fine, Aunt Cheng.” Tang Wei smiled.

“That’s good.” After Aunt Cheng finished speaking, she looked at Su Rong. “Miss Su, do you have a boyfriend?”

“Not yet,” Su Rong said.

“Oh, it’s not so bad to be alone. You have more freedom to go wherever you want.”

Although Su Rong somewhat agreed, she did not dare to agree. She said, “Well, I think it’s not a bad thing to have someone that loves you.”

Aunt Cheng nodded. “Of course, it’s best if both parties are in love.”

The three young people at the dining table had different thoughts after hearing this.

Halfway through, Su Rong left first because she had matters to deal with. Before she left, Lu Beichen said, “I’ll send you off.”

Of course, the girl was delighted to hear this.

Tang Wei looked at their backs and thought that they were quite a good match. If it weren’t for her, they would probably be married.

She retracted her gaze and realized that Aunt Cheng was staring at her.

“Aunt Cheng, is there something on my face?”

“Yes,” said Aunt Cheng.

“What?” Tang Wei touched her face and asked.

Aunt Cheng smiled. “There’s a beautiful flower.”

“Aunt Cheng, please don’t joke around.” Tang Wei was stunned.

The lady smiled, but didn’t say anything more.

Lu Beichen, who had just come out of the room, approached Su Rong and stopped when he noticed she had something to say.

Su Rong had noticed something in his behavior earlier. “If Third Master Lu could waste his precious time to personally send me out, then you must have something to tell me, don’t you?”

The prior innocent look she had in front of Tang Wei was gone. Now, she seemed smart and assertive.

“You knew about my relationship with Tang Wei?” Lu Beichen asked.

Su Rong laughed and placed her hands by her side.

“I didn’t know at first, but I found out at the dinner table just now. You two should be husband and wife, right? It really makes me curious how you two met. If you ask me, she really doesn’t deserve you.”

Su Rong was a straightforward person. After she finished her last sentence, she could clearly feel the man’s cold expression.

“Tang Wei is my wife,” Lu Beichen said coldly. “Whether she’s worthy or not isn’t something some outsider can judge.”

Su Rong was shocked and looked up at the man.

He nodded at her, turning around to leave.

She quickly came back to her senses and called out to him.

“Lu Beichen, don’t you want to know how I figured you and Tang Wei are a couple?”

The man stopped in his tracks and tilted his head to look at her.

He really was a little curious about how Su Rong had guessed their relationship. Did he seem very close to Tang Wei?

Su Rong said, “If I recall correctly, you have never agreed to let other women get close to you. I experienced this deeply before when I met you at a cocktail party. Perhaps you don’t remember mefrom that time.”

Lu Beichen really did not remember. He only hoped that she would quickly get to the point and not beat around the bush so much.

Su Rong saw the impatience on the man’s face and said, “I wanted to come to your house yesterday, and you agreed. That already made me suspicious. After I arrived, you kept staring at your phone. I suggested that I wanted to take a look at your courtyard, and you complied. That surprised me even more. At that point, I thought you had finally agreed to get into a relationship with me. Of course, that was until Tang Wei, your wife, came back. Right off the start, she was very familiar with this place and seemed very familiar with you. However, you deliberately stayed close to me, so I went with the flow. I didn’t expect the mighty Lu Beichen, who had always been calm and expressionless, would actually be so down-to-earth. Moreover, all the signs you’ve been showing me today made me guess that you probably just wanted to make Tang Wei jealous, including sending me out now.”

Lu Beichen listened to her until the end and frowned.

How could he possibly want to make Tang Wei jealous? His brain wasn’t that damaged. It must be because he had dealt with too much Su Rong and instant coffee today. Due to that, his brain was not very bright anymore.

However, he was too lazy to refute someone who probably wouldn’t accept his denial.

“Anyways, I won’t be accompanying you any longer, Miss Su.” he said bluntly.

Su Rong pursed her lips. “Lu Beichen, since you have a wife, I won’t have any other thoughts about you. But in all honesty, I don’t think you and Tang Wei will last long.”

Lu Beichen ignored her last sentence and said politely, “Have a nice night.”

Su Rong did not say anything and turned to leave.

Lu Beichen retracted his gaze and walked back to his room.

After he walked back in, he did not see his wife.

“She went back for lunch break,” Aunt Cheng explained.

“I didn’t ask about Tang Wei, did I?” Lu Beichen said casually.

Aunt Cheng looked at his proud face and teased, “I also didn’t say it was Little Wei, you brat.”

“Aunt Cheng!” Lu Beichen said coldly.

“Mm.” Aunt Cheng muttered, “Although you’re not my biological son, I still understand your temper. You’re just as stubborn as your father. Didn’t you do all that today to make Little Wei jealous?”

“Why does everyone think I’m trying to make Tang Wei jealous?” Lu Beichen was frustrated.

“What, did Miss Su notice it too?”

Auntie Cheng guessed that Tang Wei had probably gone out to meet someone and made Lu Beichen jealous. However, he couldn’t bring himself to tell Tang Wei about this. Instead, he could only use his own method to let her experience what he felt. Alas, this person would do anything but admit the truth.

“No.”

Lu Beichen said coldly.

Aunt Cheng watched him walk out. After a while, she said, “We still have to give the two of them some time. We can’t let them stay here for a month for nothing.”

The maid who was on good terms with her asked, “Madam, I think Third Master and Third Mistress do have a good relationship. It’s just that they occasionally bicker with each other. I think this is something every married couple does, so don’t worry.”

“Yes…” Aunt Cheng hummed in agreement.

Others might not be able to tell, but she had met countless people and had long guessed that these two children’s relationship didn’t have a stable foundation. They probably did not know how to get along and just felt that they liked each other, so they got married. However, a relationship will not hold for long without a strong foundation.
