Xu Yixin threw her phone down in frustration and sighed heavily. How she could have thought that Lu Shen was just an ordinary handsome man who did not recognize her and had a little bit of money?

Not only was his English, but even his Mandarin was extremely fluent. Even she, who was born and raised in the mainland, could not recognize his accent at all.

She had previously worked together with an actor from Hong Kong, and his accent was so inflexible…

This matter was really too troublesome! She could not bear to part with her ‘Husband’ who had a great job. However, she could not fall out with her family because of this little desire, right…?

In the evening, Lu Shen returned.

This time, Xu Yi did not even react, and she did not call him ‘Husband’ in a hurry like last time.

Lu Shen walked to the living room and looked at Xu Yi, who was curled up on the sofa. On the television screen, there was a variety show, and Xu Yi was on it. On the screen, Xu Yi was sitting on the ground and laughing without any sense of propriety.

Lu Shen retracted his gaze. “Xu Yi.”

“Huh?” Xu Yi’s gaze was serious.

She was waiting for that rumor to come out of his mouth. She was waiting for Lu Shen to tell her that he was leaving tonight.

Lu Shen looked into her eyes and said calmly, “I will always stay in the capital.”

As soon as he said that, the little bubble in Xu Yi’s heart that was unwilling to face reality instantly shattered. She looked at the man who had married her with some despair. She remembered that the former Hong Kong media had specially created a term for this man. He was the most difficult prey to capture.

Countless girls who wanted to marry into the Lu Family and Lu Shen were collectively known by the media as ‘Bloodthirsty Hunters’.

Xu Yi could completely understand why so many people wanted to be Hunters, treating him as their prey and coming after him one after another.

Lu Shen was sitting on a huge fortune, and the few media shots that he rarely appeared in were always filled with a condescending indifference and alienation. He would smile, but even if he was smiling, his eyes were still cold.

In the casino in Las Vegas, she had personally felt the murderous intent in his smile up close.

There was a sort of fatal, irresistible temptation to capture such prey and seeing him lowering his noble head, hearing him submitting himself to you.

It was indeed fatal. Otherwise, she would not have fallen into such a ‘Lost path’.

Unfortunately, this was neither Harbor City nor Las Vegas. This was the capital. She had grown up in a large courtyard and only cared about proper family roots.

Xu Yi recalled Gu Xiao’s description of Lu Shen. He was an arrogant, cold-blooded, unkind, and greedy capitalist who was willing to marry away his own sister for the sake of profit.

Such a person would probably be chased away by her uncle’s security guards just by getting close to her front door, let alone marrying her.

Xu Yi reflected deeply on the marriage between her and Lu Shen. In fact, it was not without a solution. Since she was so afraid that her family would find out that she was married to Lu Shen, she just needed to find a time to divorce him.

They were only registered overseas, and there was no record of it in the household registration system in the country. So, she just needed to go abroad again and leave without anyone noticing. No one would find out that she had ever been married.

Xu Yi thought of this very feasible solution. Suddenly, a burst of majestic classical music came out from the variety show that was still quiet just a moment ago. The music was accompanied by a deep and powerful male voice. “She is the carefree princess of Deep Palace, and he is a young general with high martial arts skills. In order to unravel a truth that has been sealed for many years, the two of them were accidentally tied together by Fate…”

Xu Yi, who was in a trance, suddenly quivered.

She looked at the television with a dumbfounded expression and some astonishment. This was an advertisement for a variety show. Currently, it was ranked number one in the viewership ratings in the country. It was a 40-episode large-scale historical romance series, ‘The Legend of the Bright Moon’, starring the popular Little Flower Xu Yi and the newly promoted Jing Hao.

The scene on the television was very beautiful. A beautiful little princess dressed in white with flowers on her forehead was saved by a young general dressed in military attire who was passing by. The young general leaped onto his horse and steadily caught the beautiful princess who had fallen off the city wall. Then, the scene went into slow motion. The two of them spun in the air and looked at each other affectionately. The surroundings seemed to be bursting with pink bubbles.

The atmosphere of the scene was very intense. This kind of Mary Sue drama was enough to arouse any woman’s maiden heart, even if it had been sealed away for many years..
