Chapter 229 Too narrow-minded, don't take it seriously.
Just as Dai Hongying was thinking that she should try to persuade Zhuang Qingxiang to accept Lu Congyue again today.
Lu Congyue suddenly poked his head out of the kitchen and looked around, which startled her.
"Comrade Dai Hongying!"
Once he confirmed that only the two of them were in the courtyard, Lu Congyue's face darkened, and he said sternly, "Don't say anything carelessly in front of Zhuang Qingxiang in the future!"
Dai Hongying: ? ? ?
Lu Congyue said seriously, "I mean... getting a marriage certificate isn't easy. Your nonsense in front of Zhuang Qingxiang will affect our... work!"
I don't know what the girl said to her wife, but her wife won't let him into the house or onto the kang (heated brick bed).
He had gone to great lengths to fool his wife into getting the marriage certificate, giving himself a legitimate status. If this girl ruined it, all his efforts would have been for nothing.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lu Congyue's face was so stern it was frightening. He then warned Dai Hongying a few more times in a serious tone.
Dai Hongying was a young woman, and she was immediately frightened.
I almost stood at attention, saluted, and apologized.
Back in her room, she immediately engaged in a self-critical and motivating internal dialogue, and finally came to a profound realization of her mistakes.
It must be that Director Lu found out about how I helped Sister Zhuang get close to him.
Director Lu is fair and selfless, and everything he does is for the sake of work. He doesn't have that kind of intention towards Sister Zhuang, so he is very disgusted by her behavior of mixing personal matters with official business.
Oops!
Dai Hongying suddenly stood up and paced around the room.
If Sister Zhuang really listened to her and started showering Director Lu with concern, actively pursuing him, and throwing herself at him...
That...that would have killed Sister Zhuang!
Dai Hongying was so upset that she couldn't eat. She was especially terrified when she saw how considerate Lu Congyue was to Sister Zhuang and the child.
Director Lu is so dedicated and professional, such a good actor, that's why I was fooled.
If Sister Zhuang actually believes that, we're doomed.
So, after Lu Congyue went to work and Xiao Qianyue started kindergarten, Dai Hongying began to apologize to Zhuang Qingxiang.
"Sister Zhuang, I want to apologize to you. I was narrow-minded when I suggested that you and Director Lu take your fake relationship and become a real couple. I was too naive. Please don't take it seriously."
Zhuang Qingxiang was playing with her two children as they crawled on the kang (a heated brick bed). Upon hearing this, she stiffened slightly, unsure of how to respond.
Fortunately, Dai Hongying was preoccupied and didn't give her a chance to answer, continuing, "I misunderstood Director Lu. He's only focused on his work and didn't mean anything by it. I was just playing matchmaker. But don't be discouraged, Sister Zhuang. You're beautiful and gentle. Once this is over, and everyone knows you and Director Lu are just pretending to be a couple, and you've done a good job, there will definitely be plenty of good men waiting for you. Really, believe me!"
Zhuang Qingxiang was somewhat speechless, but curious as to why she suddenly said that, she asked, "How did you know?"
Dai Hongying sighed: "It was Director Lu who told me. He does everything for the sake of his work."
Zhuang Qingxiang: "..."
"Sister Zhuang, after this is over, I'll introduce you to someone," Dai Hongying said happily, suddenly remembering something.
"No need," Zhuang Qingxiang quickly interrupted her, afraid that if they continued talking, she would ask for a meeting. "Hongying, we should focus on work right now."
Dai Hongying's eyes were full of admiration: "Sister Zhuang, you and Director Lu are really... amazing! You're so dedicated to your work, I want to learn from you!"
"No problem...no problem..."
Zhuang Qingxiang gave a dry reply and quickly told her to go buy groceries, lest she say more and make a mistake.
When night fell, Zhuang Qingxiang gave Lu Congyue no chance at all, turning off the lights and locking the door early. Lu Congyue lingered outside for a long time, and even dared to knock on the door twice, but no one answered. In the end, he could only slink back to his room to sleep.
It's so deserted and depressing!
Lu Congyue thought about the feeling of sleeping with his sweet and soft wife in his arms the previous two nights, and felt even more that the long night was too long and he couldn't sleep alone.
However, he now felt confident. Regardless of whether his methods were aboveboard or not, he was now legal, and there was no way to shake him off. The thought of this made him feel much more at ease.
He used to feel guilty.
Despite his wife's gentle nature and interest in his body, he didn't sense how much she liked him.
Aside from when they were having sex at night, she always gave him a distant feeling, the kind of feeling that he could easily walk away from.
Now...don't even think about it!
As Lu Congyue thought this, he felt content again.
So what if he has to sleep in a cold bed for a few days? Once things are settled, Dai Hongying leaves, and the door is closed, they'll be a real couple. If Zhuang Qingxiang dares to lock him out again, he'll tear the door down and make her beg him all night. Humph!
Lu Congyue dreamt about the future and had a wonderful dream all night. He woke up the next day feeling great.
While having breakfast, they discussed again when Zhuang Qingxiang would go to "deliver the goods".
A few days later, Zhuang Qingxiang went to the park alone as requested. After taking a walk for a while, she handed over the documents in a secluded spot, and put them back in her bag after the others had taken their photos.
The man was clearly not satisfied with the documents she brought; he needed something more important.
Zhuang Qingxiang shamelessly admitted that her abilities were limited.
After Zhuang Qingxiang handed over another useless document, the other party finally lost their patience.
That day, Lu Congyue, who rarely got off work early, went to pick up Xiao Qianyue from kindergarten.
While he was waiting outside, someone bumped into him and slipped a note into his hand.
Lu Congyue opened the package, glanced around with a grim expression, and after picking up Xiao Qianyue, immediately took her home.
Upon arriving home, he immediately closed the door, a wide smile spreading across his face.
The fish has finally taken the bait.
Those people finally started threatening him with Zhuang Qingxiang, probably because his story of being unable to resist the charms of a beautiful woman after his time travel had been widely publicized.
"That man asked me to meet him tonight," he said in a low voice. "None of your men should follow him, lest we alert him. From the description, this man is probably just a gofer; we need to lure the big fish behind him."
"Running errands? How did you know?" Zhuang Qingxiang was puzzled; she hadn't noticed it before.
Lu Congyue smiled and said, "The real mastermind won't show up to make a deal with you. Those who come out to make deals are just small fry. I wonder if Ma Ting has met the person behind the scenes."
Dai Hongying immediately replied, "No, my senior sister's pledge of allegiance hasn't been resolved yet. She won't be able to see her until then."
"Then I'll have a good 'talk' with that person tonight!" Lu Congyue said coldly.
In the dead of night, Lu Congyue, dressed in all black, left his house and went to the agreed location according to the address on the note.
I shone the flashlight three times, and a beam of light from a flashlight also appeared not far away.
Lu Congyue walked over expressionlessly and coldly questioned, "Who are you people? Why are you saying there's something wrong with my wife?"
"Director Lu, please don't get agitated. I know you and your wife have a deep relationship, which is why I called you here to chat. Before we talk, let me show you some photos," the other person said politely, handing over an envelope.
