- Chapter 87 - A Sweet Life Demands a Sense of Ritual
“Grandfather, Father, I want to divorce Ye Qingyan and devote myself wholeheartedly to my work,” Song Yuntao declared firmly as he knelt on the floor.
Ye Qingyan, who had initially regretted marrying Song Yuntao, felt her heart sink at his resolute tone.
It was as if something had flown out of her body, escaping to a place beyond her reach.
Panic slowly filled her chest, suffocating her until she could barely breathe.
Her biological mother was useless, her biological father wanted to abandon her, and her three older brothers would no longer favor her!
Although Song Yuntao had disappointed her greatly, he was now her only lifeline.
Once she found a better option, she would definitely kick this weakling to the curb.
Covering her face, she sobbed and pleaded, “Brother Yuntao, I won’t agree to a divorce. I’d rather die than agree.”
“Ye Qingyan, why are you crying? You were the one who brought up divorce upstairs earlier. I’m truly tired and don’t want to worry Grandfather and Father anymore.”
Song Yuntao genuinely wanted a divorce so he could wholeheartedly pursue Ye Qianqian. He swore to himself that he would treat her well from now on.
“That was because you wronged me! I was just saying things in anger, wuwuwuwu… Brother Yuntao, I was wrong. I’ll change, I promise. Brother Yuntao, are you trying to dump me to chase after Qianqian? But she’s already married to Third Master Lu!”
Ye Qingyan cried pitifully, knowing that tears and tantrums would be useless against Song Yuntao’s determination to divorce her.
However, her last two sentences would definitely strike a chord with Old Master Song and Mr. Song, they wouldn’t dare provoke Third Master Lu.
Sure enough, Old Master Song roared in anger, “Enough! How dare you talk about divorce right after getting married? Do you think I’m dead? You were the one who insisted on marrying her, and Qingyan said she would change. Yuntao, give her a chance to redeem herself. I’ll give you one chance too. If this happens again, get out of the Song family. Now, all of you, go back to your rooms and sleep!”
The Song family had grown accustomed to such scenes lately, Song Yuntao and his wife would argue fiercely, only to make up superficially in the end.
…
Lanjing Garden Villa.
Ye Qianqian woke up naturally when the sun was high in the sky. Glancing at her phone, she saw it was already 11:38 a.m., no wonder she was hungry.
She noticed many unread messages on WeChat and clicked on Lu Jingchen’s chat first. The earlier messages asked if she was awake and whether she had eaten properly.
The last two messages informed her that he had an urgent matter to attend to in Country Y. Since he wasn’t sure how long he would be gone, he wanted to take her with him.
He said he would pick her up after wrapping up his company affairs, he couldn’t bear to be apart from her.
Hahaha, the “Living King of Hell” was so clingy!
Instead of replying immediately, Ye Qianqian giggled and rolled around on the bed a few times.
[Why isn’t the female antagonist replying to the big boss as soon as she wakes up?! She’s even snickering, does she not realize the big boss is currently berating the Lu Corporation executives, radiating an aura cold enough to freeze everything in sight?!]
Ye Qianqian: Now I know!
But she wouldn’t reply right away. Otherwise, the bullet comments would start betting again, claiming she could see them.
So, what if they bet?!
But betting a pack of spicy strips? What kind of bet is that?!
Am I really that worthless???
Hmph!
Betting in bullet comments is just like what they say in short videos, if you don’t want to be together, just say so!
Why say things like, “You’re a pig, I’m a dragon, if we get together, you’ll end up in a pig cage!”
[That’s right, the big boss is really angry. He thinks the executives are taking too long with their reports, he’s worried the female antagonist might sleep herself to death, and he really wants to hurry home to check on her.]
[His concern for the female antagonist is genuine. As long as she replies to him and teases him a little, the corner of his mouth will curl up into a Nike-like smirk.]
[Ah! The female antagonist and the big boss are as sweet as honey every day. Every night, he satisfies her completely, yet she still complains that he’s a wolf.]
[Does the female antagonist even know that our female lead is left unsatisfied every day and even gets beaten black and blue by the male lead?]
Ye Qianqian sat up with a start: …
Every day, she learned from the bullet comments that Song Yuntao and Ye Qingyan were arguing fiercely over her.
But this was the first time she’d heard that the scumbag couple had actually come to blows over her. Later, she would definitely eat an extra bowl of rice because of it.
Just then, her phone buzzed again. [Wifey, still not awake?]
[I’m awake, and I’m hungry.]
[I was planning to freshen up first, then reply to you while eating. But as soon as I picked up my bowl, I saw your message. Now I’m definitely going to eat an extra bowl of rice.]
Lu Jingchen, who had just straightened his tall and imposing figure, suddenly froze. The icy aura around him melted away instantly, as if touched by the blazing sun.
He glanced at the people in the conference room and spoke in his deep, magnetic voice, “Everyone has been working hard lately. This month’s bonuses will be doubled.”
“Thank you, Third Master! Thank you, Madam!” the Lu Corporation executives chorused in unison.
Only after Lu Jingchen left the conference room did they burst into excited chatter. “Guess what Madam just sent Third Master?”
“Isn’t it obvious? It must have been something nice.”
“Obviously it was something nice, I just want to know what exactly it was. One message from her doubled our bonuses!”
“I was just hoping not to have my bonus deducted this month, but Madam gave me such a huge surprise instead.”
“Same here. This Sunday, I’m definitely going to the temple to thank all the bodhisattvas.”
“Xiao Zhang, instead of thanking the bodhisattvas, you should thank our Madam. If only she would message Third Master every time we have a meeting!”
“Dream on! It’s broad daylight, what are you dreaming about?”
“She’s having a daydream, that’s all. And here it comes, hahahaha!”
Lu Jingchen would never have guessed that those seemingly stern executives were such gossips in private.
…
On his way home, his car passed by a flower shop. “Ding Fan, pull over.”
Screech.
Ding Fan slammed on the brakes. “Sir, what flowers would you like to buy for Madam? I’ll go get them right away.”
“Wait in the car. I’ll pick them out myself. How could I let you choose the flowers for her?” Lu Jingchen’s magnetic voice carried a hint of delight.
“……”
Ding Fan really wanted to say, “You’re the boss, you call the shots,” but in the end, he just smiled and kept his mouth shut.
“Wifey, are you full?” Just as Ye Qianqian was happily eating, she heard Lu Jingchen’s cheerful voice and blurted out, “I’m full.”
Whether she was actually full or not, as long as she hadn’t put down her bowl, he would always feed her a little more when he returned.
“Hubby bought me flowers? Oh my god! My baby actually understands romance now?”
With an exclamation, Ye Qianqian quickly put down her bowl, spread her arms, and rushed toward Lu Jingchen.
“Wifey, violets. Do you like them?” Lu Jingchen asked nervously.
The florist had suggested roses, but he felt that while roses were stunning, they were too common.
His wife, Lu Jingchen’s wife, had to be unique.
Violets symbolize eternal beauty and love, along with hope and loyalty, making them especially fitting for him to give to her.
“I love them, I really do. Thank you, darling.” Ye Qianqian stood on her tiptoes to kiss him.
This was the first time in her life she had ever received flowers. Any blossoms would have delighted her, even a bunch of foxtail grass.
A sweet life must be filled with a sense of ceremony.
