How overbearing!
An Xia'er raised her eyes and glared at him in disbelief.
"I will give you anything you want, but will you give me the things I want, such as the things I want to let the outside world know that you are my wife?" Lu Bai quietly watched her as he took out his negotiating skills as he slowly penetrated her heart.
Anxia retorted in her heart. "Hmph, tell me if I'll give him the right to decide!"
It was always in his hands, wasn't it?
"Are you asking me?" Anchor said sullenly, "Last time, someone said that it was useless for me to say that we were married. But if you were the one to say that, it might not be possible. That decision has always been in your hands, right? "
"…" CEO Lu fell silent.
"Then, just ask me, does that mean you respect me?"
Lu Bai suddenly hugged her.
"I shouldn't have said that last time. I take it back, I will respect you."
Anthea's face rested on his broad shoulders, and she clasped her hands.
"It's no use if you don't agree. Just like when we were first married, you sometimes need someone to push you." Lu Bai propped her up from his shoulder, "That's why I feel that this time, it's necessary for people to know that you're Young Madam Lu. Then, slowly get used to it."
"What?"
"I will respect you." Lu Bai said, "But this time, I can't leave it to you."
"Lu Bai, you —"
"Just think that I did it on purpose." Lu Bai said, "My wife, go back and be angry with me, but I won't take back what I say."
Under An Xia'er's shocked gaze, Lu Bai said to the driver, "Take her to the car."
"Yes, CEO Lu."
The chauffeur quickly led Anchor to the car.
An Xia'er suddenly grabbed the car door and turned around to shout, "Lu Bai, you crafty man. You even said you respected me, so I'm telling you that I'm not going to announce our marriage …"
The driver looked at the person who was coming over, "Madam, the reporters are here. Let's get on."
"CEO Lu, Young Madam Lu?" Mo Heng walked out with a few other reporters following behind him. They looked at the atmosphere between An Xia'er and Lu Bai and asked, "Have you guys finished talking yet?" "There are a few reporters who want to interview you guys. I wonder if you guys can do a couple interview with the television station..."
An Xia'er said, "What husband and wife interview!?" No talking! "Lu Bai, let me tell you …"
"Take her to the car." Lu Bai said.
The driver forcefully helped An Xia'er onto the car. "Young madam, please don't make things difficult for me."
"Lu Bai! "Lu Bai …"
The sound disappeared into the car.
After the driver closed the door, he said to Lu Bai, "Then, CEO Lu, I'll send Young Madam back first."
Lu Bai looked at An Xia's figure through the window and nodded. "Be careful on the road."
The driver was surprised that Lu Bai would say such things to him, but when he realized that she was looking in his direction, he quickly nodded his head and said, "Don't worry, CEO Lu."
The driver quickly left with Anchor.
Lu Bai looked in the direction the car drove off in and said to the two bodyguards behind him, "Follow her and ensure her safe return."
"Yes, CEO Lu."
The two bodyguards got into the car and gave chase.
Now that Anxia had revealed her identity as Lu Bai's wife to the media for the first time, Lu Bai was ready to make an additional safeguard for her safety at any time.
Mo Heng recalled An Xia holding onto the carriage door as he came to Lu Bai's side. "Lu Bai, you and Miss An Xia'er?"
"None of your business." Lu Bai glanced at him and the reporters, "Everyone, my wife is a little shy, but we really don't plan on having a couple interview."
With that, Lu Bai picked up the phone that was ringing and went to the side to answer the call.
A reporter looked at Mo Heng. "Young Master Mo, this …"
"Then there's no other way." Mo Heng smiled, "CEO Lu still has other things to do, so please go back. The vice president of the Di Cheng Group is giving a speech on business planning and as a reporter for current affairs, that's what you should pay more attention to. You should know that Miss An Xia is his wife."
A few reporters looked at each other.
Secretary Qin walked up. "Everyone, please go in."
"Alright."
The reporter returned to the banquet hall.
After the journalist had left, Mo Heng sighed to Secretary Qin, "Lu Bai's actions today were too unexpected. The last time I attended their wedding, I was thinking that they might come out of the water one day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
It had only been half a year.
Just like that, An Xia emerged from the water, a delicate wife who had been hidden by Lu Bai in the gold house.
Secretary Qin only responded politely, "Young Master Mo, this is CEO Lu's temporary plan. I don't know about it."
"You don't even know about Secretary Qin? "Then no one will be able to understand his thoughts …"
Mo Heng looked at Lu Bai with a trace of a smile.
After Lu Bai received the call from Pei Ao, his handsome forehead slowly wrinkled. "Dead?"
"Just now." On the phone, Péo seemed to be at the seaside, in a vast area, and the sound of waves could be heard. "I've just brought a boat here, and the Italian merchant is dead.
Behind him, Pei Ou was cursing viciously!
Lu Bai held it up.
The illegal group involved in the Italian merchant, the same group that had killed his mother and his brother, had been closely watched by both Péo and himself during this time. He did not expect the Italian merchant to suddenly die.
He had been silenced.
This thought flashed in Lu Bai's mind.
"Because of the distance, I didn't see clearly who killed him when I came over." Pei Ou continued, "But from the looks of it, the people behind his back must have found out that we were following him and thus cut his line."
"Anything else?"
Lu Bai's gaze was ice-cold. When he talked about this matter, his entire being was as cold as a stranger.
"A little bit …" Pei Ou seemed to be inspecting something over there. "This person was not shot by a gunman. I estimate that he was using a different knife. This blade technique that is twisted upwards is somewhat similar to an example that you mentioned to me before …"
Lu Bai's brown eyes fluctuated slightly.
"Lu Bai …"
"I'll go and confirm." Lu Bai hung up.
There were some things that he had to resolve. For example, the kidnapping of his mother and his people that year had directly caused the death of his mother and his brother. He also hated the Lu family, hated his father …
If An Xia was the beauty that he wanted to find the most, then those people were the dark past that he wanted to solve the most.
Lu Bai came in front of a bodyguard, "Car keys."
The bodyguard didn't dare hesitate and immediately handed over the keys to a car.
Secretary Qin quickly said, "CEO Lu, where are you going? I'll have someone go with you …"
Lu Bai didn't say anything and just drove away.
Secretary Qin immediately said, "What are you standing there for, hurry up and follow CEO Lu."
"Yes."
An Xia'er was sitting in the living room that night, waiting for Lu Bai to come back and ask him if he had sealed the reporters' mouths.
But in the middle of the night, Lu Bai still hadn't returned.
Steward Wei and the two maids didn't say anything for a long time after hearing about what happened at the celebratory feast. They didn't expect Lu Bai to once again expose their relationship to the media in front of An Xia'er.
This...
Looking at An Xia, Steward Wei fell silent.
However, the two maids were young, so the elderly Steward Wei had no choice but to act as an elder once again. "Young Madam?"
An Xia'er rested her forehead against his hand, her eyelids drooping from sleepiness. "Huh?" Lu Bai is back? "
"…" Butler Wei paused, "Not yet."
"Then there's no need to say it."
An Xia'er continued to support herself with her hands.
"You and Eldest Young Master are angry. I actually asked him about the matter of him saying that you're his wife in front of the media last time." "Eldest Young Master means to say that there was another situation at that time. He wanted to use a more important piece of news to …"
"Suppress the incident with the Da family." An Xia'er took over his words. "Lu Bai said so."
If not for this, she would definitely be full now.
"Did the young mistress know?"
"I can forget about what happened last time." An Xia'er half-nudged her sleepy eyelids. "Let the media talk about it. I'll just treat it as a rumor. But the things he said at the celebratory dinner tonight …" "No, he must think of a way to take it back. Since he can't take it back, he can't let the media report it."
If the words of Lu Bai were to be published by a reporter, it would be equivalent to Lu Bai's public marriage.
When An Xia'er returned to the Nine Dragons Palace from the hotel tonight, she had already browsed through the news on the internet, ignoring Butler Wei's and the others' attempts to stop her.
She never would have thought.
Lu Bai actually said outside that she was his wife last time …
If she was here, she would probably have a heart attack!
"That will depend on the arrangements of the Eldest Young Master." Housekeeper Wei said, "However, I believe Eldest Young Master will make the most suitable arrangements. Also, since he wants to publicly announce his relationship with Young Mistress, doesn't this also mean that he loves you? Otherwise, why wouldn't he mind revealing your relationship? "
"…" An Xia'er had a depressed look on her face. "Hmph, what love? He didn't even discuss this with me before he did it. No, he just tried to trick me!"
He recalled the question Lu Bai asked that night.
She also said she didn't care about small matters.
In the end, Lu Bai took advantage of the loophole and said that it was a small matter to publicize their marriage … Anyway, he said a small thing was a small thing.
It was a set, a complete set!
"Young Madam, please listen to me —"
"Shut up!" An Xia'er slowly stood up, "Listen up, none of you need to speak up for him right now. Anyway, I want Lu Bai to explain it to me personally, and he must have those reporters' forget 'about our marriage tonight. Otherwise, I'll rush him!"
Steward Wei and the two maids did not speak.
An Xia'er looked at the time again. It was already past 12 o'clock and Lu Bai still hadn't returned.
She wanted to call him, but this made her seem very frightened. She should have been sitting in the hall with the lights on and seen the face of Lu Bai when he returned!
Only then would he be imposing enough!
It meant that she was taking this very seriously!
"I …" In the end, she yawned and said, "I'm tired so I'll go up to sleep first. When he comes back later, you guys go get me, remember?"
Butler Wei and the others did not say a word.
An Xia'er looked over.
"Yes, Young Madam." Butler Wei could only reassure her.
Only then did An Xia'er go up.
Butler Wei sighed.
Back then, when An Xia had just arrived, she had been incomparably obedient — no, no, young mistress!
Now, she actually spoke to him in such a manner. Indeed, from the young master's anger, she had gotten to him …
It was hard to be a butler!
The maid, Jingjing, walked over. "Young madam and Eldest Young Master wouldn't …"
"Don't make wild guesses yet." "This is a matter between the Eldest Young Master and Young Madam. Let them settle it themselves and let's not get involved."
The two maids looked at each other: "Oh."
However, Lu Bai didn't come back for the entire night.
