Lu Beichen returned to Qin Garden. When he entered the room, he realized that Tang Wei was already asleep. The curtains were tightly drawn, shutting out the bright light.

He turned silent. He was sending another woman out, but she was still quite calm about it, seeing how she fell asleep with such ease. She even felt that it was too bright and drew the curtains for her comfort.

He did not disturb her and sat on the chair opposite of the bed. From where he was, he could fully admire her sleeping face.

“You’re sleeping so well.” Lu Beichen complained softly.

How heartless and irresponsible.

Didn’t he ask her to complete his mission successfully?

His wife could eat and sleep so well. At this point, the only thing she was short of was the ability to birth heirs.

Half an hour later.

In her sleep, Tang Wei felt a cold gaze staring at her. She frowned as her eyelashes fluttered uneasily, her sleepy eyes narrowing to focus on what was in front of her. When she saw that it was Lu Beichen, she instantly sobered up.

Tang Wei got up, rubbed her eyes and asked, “Why are you sitting there?”

“Then where do you want me to sit?”

His voice was unbelievably low.

She was stunned by his words. Did this man eat gunpowder again?

He crossed his legs and looked at the woman sitting on the bed. He asked casually, “Where did you go today?”

He was changing topics too quickly. Tang Wei, who had just woken up and was still a little drowsy, was still trying to focus her eyes.

After a while, she reacted and said, “I went to Drunken Immortal Residence. Why do you ask?”

Her answer made Lu Beichen very unhappy. He thought she was deliberately hiding the fact that she had met Song Tianwen.

Lu Beichen wanted to ask more questions, but alarm bells rang in his mind. They were just in a flash marriage and lived together for the sake of covering the truth up. Tang Wei could do whatever she wanted as long as he did not embarrass him.

Lu Beichen frowned. But when he thought about how he still did not understand what kind of person his wife was after such a long time, he felt a wave of anger.

When he first met her, he had already concluded that she was just materialistic and wanted to marry into a rich family. After all, no sane person would agree to randomly marry someone off the internet unless there was wealth behind it..

Later on, when he wanted to give her living expenses and the like, she weirdly refused.

When he thought about it properly, he knew his good friend Song Tianwen well enough. If Song Tianwen was aware Tang Wei was Lu Beichen’s wife, he would never do anything rash. Then… The only possibility left was that Tang Wei never told Song Tianwen that she is a married woman.

On the other hand, Tang Wei still had a puzzled look on her face. She did not know what sort of conclusion Lu Beichen was making in his head.

She felt that Lu Beichen definitely had someone telling him weird lies, and it was probably a long-time friend of his. Otherwise, why would he fall out with her so randomly when they were just fine a while ago? This man really acted in an unpredictable manner, treating her nicely one second, and then making her feel as if she had committed some sort of heinous crime the next.

“Lu Beichen, what is going on that’s making you think so deeply…” Tang Wei asked. ‘This Third Master Lu really sat here and forced me to wake up from my dream.’

Could it be because of Su Rong?

Lu Beichen didn’t reply.

She swallowed and said softly, “Did Miss Su anger you? I think she’s quite nice on the inside, and I don’t think she has any ill intentions. Sometimes, she really can’t keep her mouth shut. However, you shouldn’t be angry with her just over that.”

Lu Beichen took a deep breath when he heard that. He suspected that Tang Wei had a split personality problem. Just a second ago, she was baring her teeth at him, but the next second, she was being like this.

“You’re really broad-minded. You’ve only met her for less than two hours, but you’re already putting in a good word for her. You even think that you know her very well.”

His deep eyes stared at her coldly, his lips smiling in a mocking manner.

Tang Wei couldn’t say a word for a long time.

This man, he really woke her up just to anger her, huh?

He sensed her resentment and asked, “Who did you go to Drunken Immortal Residence with?”

“Song Chichi and her uncle.” Tang Wei only hoped that he would leave as soon as possible, so she answered in no time.

Lu Beichen’s eyebrows twitched. Song Chichi was there too? He didn’t see her at all.

Forget it, she had explained herself honestly.

He put away his worries and decided not to ask further.

After Tang Wei finished speaking, she gradually felt that something was wrong. She frowned at the man and asked, “Why do you keep asking me about that?”

He lowered his eyes and looked elsewhere. He then said lightly, “I had a job to discuss at Drunken Immortal Residence. At that time, I happened to see someone who had a similar face to yours, so I wanted to ask if you had gone to that place. Well, I didn’t expect it to really be you.”

“Oh, then you should’ve just asked directly. After beating around the bush so much, I thought something big happened.”

“Isn’t that a big deal?”

“Hmm? What did you say?” Tang Wei was confused and didn’t hear it clearly.

Lu Beichen’s lips moved as he said, “Nothing.”

Tang Wei was speechless.

“Xiao Chen is on leave for a few days. You will be my assistant in his place for the days he is gone.”

“???”Tang Wei was full of question marks.

“You can’t stay at home every day, right? It’s a good time to exercise.” Lu Beichen added.

“Although it’s a very glorious thing to be your assistant, isn’t this just unnecessary?” Tang Wei did not forget to flatter him before refusing.

He clearly enjoyed her compliment as he continued, “Since it’s just a glorious thing, then you will have to try it even more.”

“…Are you being serious?” Tang Wei frowned.

Lu Beichen’s gaze was dark. He decided not to answer and only nodded with a frown.

“Alright then, but our relationship…” She compromised.

He observed the woman’s nervous expression. Then, he said magnanimously, “We won’t make it public for the time being. Don’t forget that you were late today. You only came back after I bombarded you with text messages. I’m not satisfied with this kind of behavior, so be sure not to do this while working as my assistant.”

“Alright, alright! Let’s just do it.” Tang Wei completely gave up struggling.

When she married Lu Beichen, all she wanted was to enjoy the glory of a wealthy family. She even wanted the entire East Continent to know that she, Tang Wei, had married the richest man and heir of a wealthy family, Lu Beichen… However, it seems that dream could only stay as a dream. She did not want to be glared to death, so it was better for her to just do this.

The atmosphere was a little stiff. Lu Beichen was talking enthusiastically just now, but now that it was quiet, his mind had cleared up.

He felt that everything he did today was strange, especially his conversation with Tang Wei just now.

She noticedhe was still sitting on the chair and looked a little tired, so she kindly asked, “Do you want to sleep together?”

“!!! Who wants to sleep with you in broad daylight?” Lu Beichen instantly exploded.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. This man was being illogical. Today, he’s acting as if he’d catch on fire at the slightest touch. He was acting much more pretentious than usual.

Hearing the meaning in his words, Tang Wei was baffled as she said, “I wonder who took the initiative to climb into my bed in the middle of the night. Also, what’s wrong with sleeping together during the day?”

“We’re husband and wife, so we naturally have to sleep together at night. Didn’t you say in the past that if I want it, you’ll give it to me? If you want it, I’ll-”

When Lu Beichen heard the first half of her sentence, he felt uncomfortable. Therefore, he decided to abruptly interrupt her by blurting out that sentence.

The man held his forehead and rested his arm on the coffee table. He could not believe his own words. He must have had a rough day at work today, which is why he was now feeling as if his head had been kicked by a donkey’s hoof. Yes, that must be why he said such an embarrassing thing without thinking.
