CH 2

She took a long time to calm down, suppressing the urge to pick up a knife. Her eyes moved to the woman sitting on the edge of the bed. She opened her mouth, her voice still a little raspy, "Mom, there's nothing wrong with me."

Lu Wanwan's words were no different from adding oil to fire and the Lu mother's face became livid from anger. Feeling disappointed and impatient, she poked her head with force. "How can you be so passive ? Based on your qualifications, even if you were to divorce, you could still pick any man you want in the future." 

Lu Wanwan squeezed out two fake tears and pulled her mother's sleeve. "Mom, I love him, let me think about it again. I'm still a little tired, I want to sleep now."

The Lu mother, seeing her sad face, also didn't want to keep pushing her. "You rest first."

"Mom, if tonight, Shen Yi......"

The way she looked like she had something to say but then stopped made it seem like she had something particulary hard to say.

"If he dares to come and pick you up tonight, I will definitely not let him into your room. Don't worry, our Lu family's baby, how can we let him bully ? I'll sort him out for you."

Lu Wanwan bit her lip, seemingly heartbroken. "No, don't ! Don't be too hard on him, the bruises on my body are not serious."

Splashing dirty water was also a skill in itself. Three or two words let her mother completely misunderstand Shen Yi. It was really good.

The Lu mother interrupted her and said through gritted teeth. "Say no more, I have my own limits."

After her mother went out, the exhaustion on Lu Wanwan's face was swept away in a flash and her pair of eyes shone brightly. She rolled twice on the bed, so happy that she was about to laugh out loud.

This kind of life where you don't have to live on edge being careful of the male lead's mood, having to cajole him and spoil him, was really... really great! It was too nice!

It was winter. The trees planted in the yard were covered with layers of white snow. A breeze was blowing, shaking the branches, and snowflakes were fluttering down.

Lu Wanwan opened the window to breathe for a while. Her delicate little face was blown red by the wind. She stretched out her hand and icy cold snowflakes fell on her fingertips.

So the taste of freedom was sweet like that!

She walked barefoot on the carpet, without a sound.

From the second floor stairway where she stood, she could clearly see what was happening downstairs. Shen Yi was standing in the living room, he was probably just getting off work, as he was dressed in a suit. His face was expressionless.

But Shen Yi truly was quite the looker, with him just standing there without saying a word, it was like looking at a painting.

The Lu mother wrapped her arms around her and, glaring at him with cold eyes, snorted with a very bad tone : "What are you here for?"

Shen Yi frowned slightly. His voice was cold and sharp as he answered : "I came to pick her up and take her home."
