Xu Yi was thinking about the day she would return home. She planned to send a text message to ask Gu Xiao if she wanted to return to to her home together.

She had just picked up her phone when Gu Xiao sent a message first. It looked like Gu Xiao’s profile picture had changed again. It was replaced with a non-mainstream anime picture that shone with a rainbow of colors. Xu Yi looked at Gu Xiao’s profile picture and was silent for a moment. This woman was really letting herself go now.

Gu Xiao: [Sister, did Lu Shen return to the capital last night?]

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment when he saw her message.

[How did you know?]

She did not remember telling Gu Xiao that Lu Shen had returned.

Gu Xiao: [You just woke up, right?]

Xu Yi: [Yes, why?]

Gu Xiao: [Then Lu Shen must have returned to the capital. You woke up so late. You must have had sex!]

Xu Yi: […]

Her face turned hot. She really wanted to go through the internet and shut Gu Xiao’s mouth. She pretended to be calm and replied: [So what if he came back? It’s not like he hasn’t come back before.]

Xu Yi was very calm about Lu Shen’s visit to the capital. Lu Shen spent more than half of his time in Hong Kong to deal with family matters every year. The remaining half of his time was spent traveling around the world on business. The capital was one of the places where he went on business trips. On average, he came once every six months.

In other words, the two of them met twice a year on average, and each time they met, it was about one or two days. When Lu Shen came to Beijing last year, she was working hard on filming outside the city. Therefore, they only met once that year.

When she woke up today, Lu Shen had already left, which was very normal. The time of a capitalist was calculated in seconds. He would not wait for her to wake up and give her a good morning kiss before leaving after the two of them had intimate sex last night.

Xu Yi took a bite of the bread and saw that Gu Xiao had shared a link with her on WuChat application. She clicked on it and saw that it was a financial news article. The News said that the Lu Group’s market share in the mainland had been increasing in recent years. Apart from Hong Kong, it was expected to set up a new headquarters in Beijing.

Xu Yi exited the link after reading it, she happened to see a message from Gu Xiaoxin.

[Did you see it? The Lu Group is going to set up a new headquarters in Beijing. Although the rumors may not be true, Lu Shen might really stay in Beijing in the future.]

Xu Yi’s eyes widened instantly.

[Where did you get the rumors from? It must be fake!]

Gu Xiaoxiao sent her an emoji with her hands spread out.

[Don’t worry about whether the rumors are true or not. Let me ask you, even if Lu Shen doesn’t stay in Beijing, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to fool around like this for the rest of your life?]

[You’re still young now. When your family urges you to get married and have children in two years, you have to tell them. Are you going to say ‘I’m sorry, I’m already married! Are you surprised? Are you happy?’]

[Then you can also tell them that the person you married is the Second Young Master of the Lu Family in Hong Kong. Guess what they’ll say?]

Xu Yi saw Gu Xiao’s messages and was speechless for a moment. 

She tried to imagine the scene. Then, she immediately shivered.

She was not satisfied, of course, she was not satisfied!

Back when the two of them registered their marriage in Las Vegas, she was very surprised when she found out that Lu Shen’s passport was a blue passport from Hong Kong. Later, she was even more surprised when she found out who Lu Shen was.

Lu Shen’s identity was too sensitive, which was why she did not dare to tell her grandfather and uncle about her impulsive decision to marry a handsome and well-to-do young man overseas.

Seeing that Xu Yi had not replied to her message, Gu Xiao decided to give her a call.

“The rumors are not entirely false. Tell me, if it’s true, what do you want to do?”

Xu Yi said, “I…”

Gu Xiao interrupted her. “Let’s not talk about your status as a female celebrity in the entertainment industry first. That’s not important. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the entertainment industry who are hiding their marriages. You haven’t cheated or broken any laws, so your marriage will not have much impact on your career. It’s just that, what are you going to do about your family?”

“Lu Shen is a black-hearted capitalist. He reeks of money and puts profit first. He’s a black-hearted man who can even use his own sister as a bargaining chip to expand his business. Tell me, do you think he’ll just recognize your family?”

Xu Yi was speechless again..
