The wedding chamber in the old mansion was on the second floor.
Knowing they would return, the old lady had specifically arranged for someone to clean it thoroughly two days in advance.
The bedding, soft wool carpets, and even the decorations on the nightstands had all been replaced with the latest versions.
The two of them could stay here and sleep soundly.
Lu Peishen led Ye Xixi upstairs and opened the bedroom door.
Ye Xixi immediately noticed a brand-new white nightgown placed on the bright red wedding quilt.
It was likely prepared for her.
“Uncle Lu, you even prepared a nightgown?” Ye Xixi walked over, smiling as she picked up the new nightgown.
The style was very beautiful.
And it was from Chanel.
Ye Xixi secretly glanced at the still-attached price tag—$20,000 USD???
So expensive?
That would be over a hundred thousand in Chinese yuan.
Wow, Uncle Lu was being incredibly generous to her.
“Yes, it’s for you,” Lu Peishen said as he closed the door and walked over gently.
“Do you like it?”
Ye Xixi nodded, “I like it, but… it’s so expensive.”
“Uncle Lu, you didn’t have to buy something this expensive.”
Lu Peishen curled his lips into a smile, his fingers tugging at the price tag and effortlessly tearing it off. “Xixi, I earn money for you.”
“My personal account has too much money, more than I can spend. From now on, I’ll hand it all over to you. You can spend it however you like.”
Ye Xixi was stunned, her mind struggling to keep up. Uncle Lu… had just said he would give her his salary???
This… this… she was a bit hesitant to accept.
“Uncle Lu, why are you giving me your salary?”
Lu Peishen couldn’t help but laugh at her naive question. “What? I married you, but I can’t give you money to spend? Wouldn’t that make you feel wronged for marrying me?”
That made sense, didn’t it? Ye Xixi understood, her eyes sparkling. Uncle Lu was truly incredibly generous.
“Thank you, Uncle Lu.”
“But, I’m still in school, so I don’t actually need that much money.” Besides, she had plans to work hard and earn money herself to buy gifts for Lu Peishen.
“Whether you need it or not, we’re married now, so my money must be handed over to you,” Lu Peishen lowered his head, his eyes looking exceptionally deep in the soft glow of the surrounding lights.
His voice was deliberately warm and magnetic, meant to charm the young girl.
“Don’t forget, you’re carrying my child, right?” As he spoke, Lu Peishen suddenly reached out without warning and touched Ye Xixi’s flat stomach.
His fingers were long and elegant.
The pads of his fingers had a slight roughness.
Through her thin dress, the warmth of his touch instantly seeped through, making Ye Xixi’s stomach feel warm.
As if it were being set ablaze.
Ye Xixi’s face flushed bright red in an instant, and her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.
Her restless hands instinctively covered Lu Peishen’s hand.
“Un… Uncle Lu… you…”
Uncle Lu’s hand was truly magical.
It was almost burning her through.
“What? Xixi, won’t you allow me to touch our baby?” Lu Peishen bent slightly, his tall frame suddenly leaning close to the girl whose face was flushed red.
At such a close distance.
He almost kissed the girl’s cheek.
Ye Xixi was truly startled. With both hands covering Lu Peishen’s warm hand, her legs instinctively stepped back uncontrollably.
She was about to fall.
But Lu Peishen was quick, swiftly wrapping his arm around her waist and holding her close.
Preventing her from actually falling.
But being hugged so suddenly, the girl’s soft body clung to him like a piece of cotton candy, soft and exuding a faint fragrance of pear blossoms.
As Lu Peishen lowered his head, the tip of his nose brushed against her thick hair.
He immediately caught the scent of her hair.
It smelled so good.
Lu Peishen’s gaze deepened, and it took him a moment to remember to release her: “Are you okay?”
She was fine, but Ye Xixi’s face was burning red with embarrassment.
She was too shy to even look at Lu Peishen.
At this moment, she was caught in an extreme inner conflict.
Because she had seen last year’s news—Lu Peishen had accompanied Liu Congwen late at night on the street until very late, and only then did the two get into a car and leave.
It was this secretly recorded video.
That led every socialite and actress in the entire capital to know that Lu Peishen’s rumored love interest was the ballet queen, Liu Congwen.
But even though Uncle Lu clearly had feelings for another girl, why was he so good to her?
Ye Xixi felt tangled and confused.
She was afraid of growing too attached.
Once Liu Congwen returned to the country, wouldn’t Uncle Lu divorce her?
Thinking of this, Ye Xixi’s pounding heart instantly calmed down. She immediately pinched the flesh of her palm, bit her lip, and said, “I’m fine, I’m okay.”
“Uncle Lu, I’m going to take a shower first.”
Lu Peishen didn’t touch her further and let her go to the bathroom.
He sat quietly by the bed, waiting for the girl to finish her shower.
During her shower,
Lu Peishen took out his phone and sent a message to his only human friend, Dongfang Yuqing: 【Yuqing, I got married.】
【When you return to the country, I’ll introduce you.】
Dongfang Yuqing had been busy expanding his family’s business in Europe and was overwhelmed with work when he suddenly received Lu Peishen’s message.
Dongfang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows in disbelief and immediately called him back.
Lu Peishen answered the call, and as soon as he picked up, Dongfang Yuqing chuckled softly: “Peishen, is today April Fool’s Day?”
Lu Peishen curled his lips and glanced at the closed bathroom door: “What do you think? Would I joke with you about something as serious as marriage?”
“I really am married. Get the wedding gift ready.”
Dongfang Yuqing: …
Really married???
Could the other party be a female wolf too?
“Who is your wife? It’s not a female wolf, is it?”
Lu Peishen: …
“No, she’s a human girl.”
“Why would you want to find a human girl?” In Dongfang Yuqing’s stereotypical view, he felt that someone like Lu Peishen, a member of the Wolf Clan, should definitely find a girl of the same race.
“As long as I like her, that’s enough.” Lu Peishen’s eyes gleamed faintly, his voice light and cheerful: “I can’t talk anymore, my wife is about to finish her shower. Let’s catch up another time.”
Lu Peishen hung up first, and sure enough, the bathroom door creaked open.
Ye Xixi had changed into that high-end nightgown worth over a hundred thousand.
Probably still too embarrassed to be alone with Lu Peishen,
Ye Xixi’s face was flushed: “Uncle Lu, I’m done. You can go shower now.”
Lu Peishen nodded: “Okay, wait for me.”
Ye Xixi obediently replied with an “okay” and climbed into bed first. Once she was in bed, Lu Peishen picked up his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Ye Xixi’s heart raced with anxiety and unease.
Would Lu Peishen sleep with her later?
She was pregnant now and couldn’t do anything, so there was no need to be nervous about that.
But… even if nothing happened, she was still incredibly tense.
Most importantly, since Lu Peishen had feelings for Miss Liu, was it appropriate for them to sleep together like this?
Ye Xixi really didn’t want to be the other woman.
Ye Xixi couldn’t help but anxiously clutch and tug at the bedding. After tugging for a while, she still picked up her phone and sent a message to Sheng Qiao: “Qiaoqiao, I need to ask you something. If the man you like has a white moonlight in his heart, what should you do?”
Sheng Qiao was playing games at home when she saw Ye Xixi’s baffling message.
At first, she didn’t process it. She picked up her phone and reread it twice before replying in surprise: “Holy crap, Xixi, are you telling me? The husband you married now has another girl in his heart?”
Ye Xixi: “Yeah, probably.”
Sheng Qiao blinked her wide eyes: “Holy crap, that’s so dramatic? Is it true or not?”
Ye Xixi: “It’s probably true. I’m so conflicted. He’s super good to me, and I’m afraid I’ll fall for him.”
Sheng Qiao: !!!
This is just absurd.
A man with a white moonlight in his heart could still marry her dear Xixi and treat her well?
Impossible, right?
Even novels wouldn’t dare write something like this.
In novels, don’t they always marry a girl they don’t love and leave her neglected on the side?
How come it’s different in her case?
