Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 970 Caught by Husband, the Commander, on Their Wedding Night (3)

When Shen Shuyi woke up, she washed up and chose a pomegranate red gold-threaded vest, paired with a moon-white inner garment and a light-colored gold-embroidered skirt.

Her dark hair was styled with a pearl hairpin, and her earrings were made of cat's eye stones.

She walked to the mirror and raised her hand to touch her face.

It's beautiful, but upon closer inspection, it's not flawless.

The original owner grew up in the village and was exposed to the wind and sun every day. Without some rouge and powder, she wouldn't look fair and flawless.

"66, I haven't used any appearance-adjusting items in a long time."

"Use it."

[No problem, host, your looks are off the charts!]
As Shen Shuyi watched 66 drag various data onto the screen, she reminded her, "Adjust it to a more charming and alluring style."

Lu Heng is too cold-blooded; to achieve a beauty that would even shock him, I'll have to work harder.

With her delicate oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes, she resembled a pure and alluring fairy who had stepped out of a painting of court ladies.

Especially her lips, slightly pouting, the kind that look very kissable.

Even a ruthless and cold-blooded man like Lu Heng probably couldn't resist a pure and beautiful woman.

After completing her beauty treatment, Shen Shuyi left the bridal chamber without applying any makeup.

She knew Lu Heng wouldn't come over to have breakfast with her. Everyone in the mansion was his man, so there was no need for him to pretend to be respectful and harmonious.

Therefore, Shen Shuyi went to find Lu Heng after having breakfast.

There were very few servants in the mansion, making the vast residence exceptionally quiet.

She only saw one or two servants sweeping the courtyard along the way. She asked for directions and only when she arrived at Lu Heng's study did she see four guards with swords standing in two rows in front of the study.

As soon as she appeared, the guard warily placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"I've come to see the master."

"Your subordinate greets Madam. The Marshal is not in his study."

Shen Shuyi was slightly puzzled. "Then where is he?"

"The general usually goes to the backyard to practice martial arts in the morning," the guard replied matter-of-factly.

Shen Shuyi was on her way to find Lu Heng at the martial arts training area in the backyard when she met the steward, Uncle Fu, who told her that Lu Heng had returned to the east wing.

It turned out that the man did not sleep in the study, but stayed in the east wing.

[Host, Lu Heng is still living in his old room. The new room is newly decorated, and he hasn't been inside yet.]
Shen Shuyi walked step by step toward the east wing, and the door to the wing was not closed.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on in the system, 66 had already logged off.

She knocked on the door. "Husband, are you in there?"

Shen Shuyi didn't hear a response and tiptoed inside. This east wing was too big; there was even a bathhouse inside.

The bathroom was filled with steam. She lifted her skirt and walked in, and immediately saw Lu Heng sitting in the bathtub with his eyes closed.

This guy finished practicing martial arts early this morning and is taking a shower.

"Bang!" She was about to take another step forward when a dart suddenly flew over and stuck in the door frame in front of her.

"Who?!" the man asked in a deep voice.

Shen Shuyi pretended to be trembling with fear, and said in a tearful voice:
"My husband is me."

Lu Heng opened his eyes and looked at the woman standing in front of the door. "What are you doing here?"

"My husband, we will be returning to my parents' home in three days. I would like to come and discuss the gift list with you."

"Didn't I tell you to call the butler if you need anything?" Lu Heng said with a sarcastic smile, "Do you not listen to anyone except Zhu Jing?"

"Miss Shen, please don't call me that anymore."

Shen Shuyi bit her lip. What he said was true, but she didn't expect Lu Heng to suddenly bring things out into the open.

"If you won't call me 'husband,' then what should I call you? I heard your courtesy name is Shaozhang."

Lu Heng glared at her, and Shen Shuyi quickly covered her mouth, then whispered:
“Husband, I have figured it out now. If the Fourth Prince really cared about me, he would have proposed to the Shen family long ago. How could he just watch me marry someone else?”

"So I will definitely behave as the Commander's wife from now on and not cause you any trouble." Shen Shuyi decided to be honest and draw a line between herself and Zhu Jing in front of Lu Heng, telling Lu Heng that she would never go to Zhu Jing again.

These heartfelt words clearly had some effect, as Lu Heng's gaze lingered on her for several seconds.

Shen Shuyi looked at him openly and honestly, and even took a few steps forward.

Let him see her unparalleled beauty.

Unexpectedly, the man sneered coldly, "A leopard can't change its spots."

"go out."

Shen Shuyi: "..."

She bit her lip and stepped forward, taking the opportunity to hug Lu Heng from behind, pressing her soft body against his bare back.

"My husband, I'm serious, please believe me just this once."

Lu Heng tensed up instantly; with his skills, he could easily push her to the ground.

But he disdained to do so, only speaking in an even colder tone.

"You think using your feminine wiles on me will work?"

"If you want to secure your position as Madam Lu, you'd better stay away from me and not provoke me. Otherwise, I'll let you experience the methods of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in prison."

Have you ever heard of 'playing the pipa'?

"They stripped him naked, exposing his ribs, and repeatedly flicked between the ribs with a sharp knife. First they shaved off the skin and flesh, then scraped the bones, until all the bones were removed, and he was brought back to life."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi shuddered and quickly released Lu Heng.

She quickly said, "I promise I'll be absolutely honest from now on!"

"Husband, please continue. I'll head out now!"

Lu Heng didn't look at her again and picked up a cloth to wipe his body.

Shen Shuyi got up and was about to leave when her gaze swept over Lu Heng's body, and she subconsciously paused for a second.

This man has a really good physique, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and even his muscle lines are so pleasing to the eye.

She left, blushing.

……

All was well, and three days later Shen Shuyi and Lu Heng returned to their parents' home together.

As she went out, Shen Shuyi saw Lu Heng dressed in a scarlet flying fish robe with an embroidered spring knife hanging at his waist.

The man had sharp features and dark eyes as deep as a cold pool; his mere glances carried an intimidating aura.

Shen Shuyi boarded the carriage and sat facing Lu Heng. She wanted to say something, but the man opposite her was too cold, so she didn't bother to speak.

Bored, her gaze fell on Lu Heng's hands.

In his hand was a sharp embroidered spring knife, which he was slowly wiping with a cloth.

Shen Shuyi noticed that his tiger's mouth and fingertips had thick calluses, which showed that he was a martial artist.

When the man doesn't speak, his resolute face appears even more handsome, with a high nose bridge and slightly curved thin lips. But when he does speak, his words are particularly sharp, leaving no room for any distracting thoughts.

When Lu Heng looked up, Shen Shuyi quickly lowered her eyes, her ears turning red with a guilty look.

An impressive carriage pulled up in front of the Shen residence. Shen Shuyi noticed that the Shen residence was unusually lively today, and the system promptly reminded her.

[Dear host, Zhu Jing is here today to propose marriage. A chaotic scene is about to unfold, so be prepared.]
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow. There was nothing to prepare. Would Lu Heng care?

Lu Shaozhang wouldn't care about such things. He could even easily let go of the fact that his wife climbed over the wall on their wedding night, so what was a little visit to an old flame?

Shen Shuyi's only curiosity was why Lu Heng was willing to marry her, and why someone as arrogant as him would accompany her on her homecoming visit.

Given Lu Heng's style of doing things, he could easily get away with something like returning home after his wife's parents' wedding by making up an excuse about being too busy with official duties.

Therefore, Lu Heng must have some purpose in coming to the Shen residence.
Shen Shuyi felt a little excited when she thought about it.
