Su Qian chuckled. “Young Master Lu, don’t forget that we’re going to get a divorce once you regain your memories. You’ll be my ex-husband. Do you want the whole world to know about your divorce?”

More importantly, if Sikong Jin found out about her secret marriage, it would mean that her uncle would know about it too.

She didn’t want her uncle to know that she married Lu Mingxiu because she wanted to have fun in the world.

One of her three sentences must be about divorce, and he was very tired of hearing it. Lu Mingxiu looked at her coldly, like a cold knife cutting through the clouds, as if he had encountered the most intense cold current in early spring. He pursed his thin lips and said word by word, “I did promise you that I’ll sign the divorce papers once I regain my memories, but as long as you don’t sign them, you’ll still be my wife. Don’t even think about getting together with Sikong Jin.”

“Qian Qian, are you in your room?” someone knocked on the door again.

Su Qian frowned slightly. She really didn’t want to continue arguing with Lu Mingxiu, so she simply pushed him into the closet.

Lu Mingxiu didn’t expect her to be so strong either. He was caught off guard and fell for her trap. Before he could react, he was already in the

closet.

He glared at her and was about to speak when she spoke in front of him with a hint of threat, “You’re not allowed to make a sound, or I’ll tie you up and tape your mouth.”

Lu Mingxiu was speechless.

Su Qian closed the closet, put on a random shirt, and went to open the door.

Sikong Jin didn’t expect Su Qian to be in the shower either. He had seen her beat people up, seen her frivolous side, and seen her break down. But he had never seen her like a seductive demon that had just emerged from the water.

In particular, the woman’s strong fragrance entered his nose from time to time, disturbing his pool of spring water, and actually made him a little uneasy.

“Qian Qian, I …” He had actually forgotten what he wanted to say.

“What?” Su Qian dragged her words and looked at him in confusion.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Su Qian’s lips were red and swollen. He subconsciously asked, “Qian Qian, what’s wrong with your mouth?”

Su Qian was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered that Lu Mingxiu had bitten her lips just now. This guy wasn’t born in the Year of the Dog, so why did he suddenly like biting her?

She wiped her mouth casually, “I’m fine. I accidentally fell when I was taking a shower just now.”

Sikong Jin didn’t suspect anything and only said, “Qian Qian, a few of my classmates in China know that I’m back in China and want to hold a welcome party for me. Will you come?”

It was Sikong Jin’s welcoming dinner, and she wasn’t his classmate, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to attend. She lowered her eyes slightly and looked apologetic, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”

Although this answer was within his expectations, the disappointment in his eyes was obvious.

Su Qian hesitated for a moment before saying, “When your domestic branch officially opens, I’ll come to your banquet.”

After getting her promise, Sikong Jin’s eyes revealed a slight smile.

“Alright, it’s a deal then.”

***

After Sikong Jin left, Lu Mingxiu walked out of the cabinet. His eyes were filled with mockery and banter, “Sikong Jin is so sincere in inviting you to his welcoming banquet. Why didn’t you go, Mrs. Lu?”

When he said Mrs. Lu, his tone unnaturally rose a few octaves. Su Qian was speechless.

She looked at him, and retorted, “If you’re not feeling well, go ask Feng Xuanmo for some medicine. Stop being so sarcastic in front of me.”

Lu Mingxiu looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule. “But this illness can only be cured by the missus. Feng Xuanmo can’t.”

As their eyes met, Su Qian’s heart skipped a beat.

It was really like seeing a ghost.

Either Lu Mingxiu had taken the wrong medicine today, or it was time for her to take her medicine. She was hallucinating.

At that moment, she actually felt that Lu Mingxiu might really like her a little.

If it were fake, she would take some medicine to make the illusion disappear. If it were real, she would strangle it in the cradle. She would not allow herself to really like anyone.

Her gaze returned to its cold and gloomy state, and she said each word clearly, “Young Master Lu, you should return to Dijing Manor.”

Lu Mingxiu was very displeased when he heard her asking him to leave. His eyes were cold, “Are you chasing me away?”

“Yea,” Su Qian admitted.

Lu Mingxiu didn’t expect her to admit it so readily. Two balls of flames were jumping in his eyes, but the calmness he was proud of came into effect at this moment. He quickly calmed down and took a deep breath, “Okay, let’s go back to Dijing Manor together.”

“Young Master Lu, I don’t feel like going back to Dijing Manor tonight,” Su Qian said with a slight frown.

“Since you don’t want to go back to Dijing Manor, where do you want to go?”

Lu Mingxiu looked like he would risk his life to accompany her no matter where she went.

Su Qian was speechless.

She just didn’t want to be in the same room as him. She felt that it was easy to get into an accident tonight.

However, Lu Mingxiu would not give up until he achieved his goal.

So, in the end, she suggested going to the shooting range.

***

Gudu Legend Shooting Gallery.

Su Qian stood in front of the shooting platform, took the magazine, and skillfully assembled it. Then, she straightened her arms and fired five shots in a row.

Every shot hit ten points.

Lu Mingxiu was sitting on the sofa not far away with his legs crossed, looking at her nonchalantly.

“I’m a little surprised that you can shoot.”

Su Qian glanced at him indifferently and didn’t say anything.

She had grown up under the demonic torture of her grandpa. She had never lost to him in shooting within a hundred steps.

She moved her wrist and fired a few more shots at the bullseye. She still hit 10 points each time.

Just as she was about to fire her last bullet, she suddenly changed direction and pointed the gun at Lu Mingxiu.

Lu Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled.

Lu Mingxiu’s reaction was beyond her expectations. She asked expressionlessly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll really shoot you?”

Lu Mingxiu supported his chin with his right hand, his eyes indifferent, “It feels good to be looked at by you through your X-ray lens.”

For a moment, his heart rapidly contracted. This kind of illusion of being on the verge of death but having a new lease on life was really a little too much.

He thought that he might really like her a little.

In fact, he did not cling to the rules at all. He was just being the second young master of the Lu family in the eyes of the world, and he did not like it at all.

He seemed to have found his lost self in Su Qian.

Lu Mingxiu’s eyes were filled with ridicule. Su Qian turned around, her face as cold as ice. She ignored him and simply took a shot at the target.

The huge impact of the bullet flying out of the shell cut through the air, bringing with it a burst of explosive sound that resounded in the shooting range.

Even without looking at the target, this shot was worth 10 points. Lu Mingxiu didn’t say anything when he saw this, but he raised his eyebrows in interest.
