Lu Li is someone who has read countless novels with CEO male leads.

When she heard the ‘wife chasing to crematorium’ that was used in those novels turn into ‘husband chasing to crematorium’, she was stunned.

Wife chasing to crematorium is commonly used when the male lead was indifferent to the female lead in the early stage of the story and later on, the male lead realized his feelings after the female lead has left him.

Lu Li couldn’t help but apply this concept to herself.

Earlier, she told Chi Chenyan that they should return to their previous arrangements, but now that Chi Chenyan was cold to her, she began to send WeChat messages to him and inform him about her various purchases.

“...”

It was weird.

Qiao Jiayi continued: “Otherwise, why would you suddenly treat Chi Chenyan like this, buying him clothes and sending him messages.”

Lu Li was a little flustered and stubbornly explained: “Why can’t I treat Chi Chenya like this? Isn’t this okay? He is my husband, not someone else’s husband.”

She dididn’t believe it. So what is she bought clothes and sent him messages? Isn’t this a normal thing for husband and wife? What’s up with the husband chasing to crematorium?

“Really?” Qiao Jiayi asked with a sinister smile, and asked slowly, “Your husband? Isn’t he your fake husband? Or are you in love with your husband?”

“I…” Lu Li was speechless and saw the macaroon on the plate. She directly up the spoon and scooped a mouthful, “Let’s eat.”

On the way home, Lu Li sat in the car and held her mobile phone.

She just went shopping and bought clothes for Chi Chenyan ‘on the way’ and had her afternoon tea and ‘casually’ sent him a message. She is not chasing her husband to crematorium.

It’s like this. Lu Li nodded firmly.

She then remembered that she recently felt sad because of Chi Chenyan.

Isn’t it just a few rainbow farts? This is what she thinks.

Lu Li bowed her head and flipped through her schedule.

She saw that she will have a dinner party this weekend.

It’s for a fashion magazine that is co-hosted by a well-known luxury brand H. the invitations are all given to big-named celebrities and socialites in the city.

Before she got married, Lu Li was H-brand’s highest VIP in Hong Kong City, and she naturally received an invitation this time.

Although she doesn’t linger in these kind of social events, but after all, in City S, she still needs to show up occasionally. This event will prove that she is still on top of the social pyramid.

The frequency of this even is about once a quarter.

When Lu Li saw the dinner party, she did not think much about it, she was only thinking of the man at home.

After returning home, Lu Li took Chi Chenyan to the cloakroom to let him see the clothes that she bought today.

It was all formal clothes that is especially designed for business people like Chi Chenyan, whose clothes are all basically the same. Chi Chenyan isn’t like those younger idols of her.

Chi Chenyan looked at it, his expression not too surprised, and nodded, “Thank you.”

He didn’t say anything else.

Lu Li waited for a long time. After hearing the word ‘thank you’, she opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

This… this… this is it?

She bought clothes for him!

In the end, he only said ‘thank you’?

How about a kiss? Hug? Lifting her up and hugging her?

Lu Li heard a rumbling of lightning over her head, and her glass heart was cracking.

Chi Chenyan: “I’ll go first.”

“Wait!” Lu Li was not reconciled and grabbed Chi Chenyan’s arm.

Chi Chenyan stopped and turned around.

Lu Li looked up at him with an aggrieved look on her face. She asked the question from her heart, “Why are you doing this?”

“I have already apologized for the rainbow farts.”

She burst into tears, “Do you not like me anymore?”

Fake. All of them are fake. The public confession, the personal confession in the kitchen, all of them are fake, men are all big liars.

After hearing this, Chi Chenyan took a breath and turned to face Lu Li.

“I won’t change my heart so easily.” He said.

Did not change his heart? Lu Li slightly eased the turbulence in her heart and then grumbled, “Is this how your heart is then?”

Chi Chenyan asked her, “Do you think we are still the same as before?” He looked at Lu Li’s eyes, “I’m afraid of offending you.”

Lu Li blinked. “Offending?”

Chi Chenyan let out an ‘en’.

Lu Li’s brain CPU’s circuit started running at a high speed.

What’s offensive? When a man likes a woman, but the woman doesn’t feel the same, the intimate action of the man can be offensive to the woman.

In the same way, Chi Chenyan likes her but she didn’t like Chi Chenyan before, so Chi Chenyan thinks that if he hugs or kiss her, she will be offended.

He’s really a polite and a gentleman.

She really can;t find a single mistake from him.

Lu Li wanted to say that she would not be ‘offended’ like that.

Chi Chenyan faced Lu Li’s entangled small face.

“So,” he asked, “Is there anything you want to do to me now?”

His meaning is very obvious. Since she wants to hug him, she can’t do it casually, she needs to say her opinion.

He will not ‘offend’ a woman who doesn’t like him.

The CPU in Lu Li’s brain was overloaded after running at a high speed and crashed with a bang,

What she wants?

Lu Li’s brain buzzed.

Chi Chenyan shook his head, did not wait any longer, and straightened up.

Lu Li frowned, looking at his back.

At night…

Chi Chenyan came out of the bathroom.

Lu Li seemed to have fallen asleep, covering herself tightly with the quilt, only showing her head.

Chi Chenyan opened the quilt and lay on the bed.

Lu Li slept very close to the center and he would inevitably touch her when he lays down.

Chi Chenyan suddenly frowned.

He tentatively reached out to Lu Li again and when he touched her warm skin, he immediately cursed in his heart.

Where is her pajamas?

Lu Li didn’t fall asleep, turned around, eagerly facing Chi Chenyan.

Does he really not want to offend her?

She will force him to ‘offend’ her.

Chi Chenyan took a few deep breaths: “Lu Li.”

Lu Li: “Yeah.”

Chi Chenyan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and forced himself to think about this quarter’s financial statements.

Lu Li looked at the man whose expression returned to calmness again. Knowing that she had failed again, she covered her head with a quilt.

Why would he embarrass her like this, why force her?

Lu Li slept silently.

She woke up the next day with sore hands and an uncomfortable tingling on her inner thighs.

She had that weird dream again. She hated that things couldn’t go the way she wanted to, so she kept rubbing against him.

When Chi Chenyan passed by and saw Lu Li’s dazed look, he covered his lips and slightly coughed.
