After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

Lu Peichuan paused for a moment, then put down his chopsticks, grasped Rong Zheng's shoulders with both hands, and said in a serious tone, "Don't ask this kind of question again."

Why?

"I don't like it, I won't divorce you."

Rong Zheng thought that he might still have some concerns, "If you are worried that divorce will affect the company, I can fully cooperate with you."

Lu Peichuan frowned as he looked at Rong Zheng, as if trying to discern something unusual from her expression.

Rong Zheng belatedly realized she had been too blunt, and smiled, "I was just joking with you, you actually took it seriously?"

Lu Peichuan said with a stern face, "It's not funny at all. You're not allowed to say things like that again. We promised to stay together for life, have you forgotten?"

Rong Zheng lowered her gaze slightly. "So you still remember."

"Of course I remember."

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Rong Zheng's slightly lowered eyes. When she looked up, her gaze was filled with resentment as she looked at Lu Peichuan. "You've been ignoring me lately and we're always arguing. I thought you'd forgotten all those promises you made."

So that's why they suddenly said they wanted a divorce.

Lu Peichuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "I wasn't ignoring you, I just wanted you to calm down. It was wrong of me to argue with you, but Su Qingya and I have nothing going on. You keep arguing with me because of her, which makes me feel like you don't trust me. Isn't trust the most important thing between husband and wife?"

If she hadn't known that Manager Wang was Su Qingya...

If she hadn't already read their chat history...

His words made her reflect on herself, wondering if she had wronged him, if she had misunderstood him and Su Qingya, or if she was being too sensitive.

Rong Zheng had to admit that Lu Peichuan was indeed a master of disguise.

He can lie without batting an eye and even turn the tables on her by using psychological manipulation.

"Yes, the most important thing between husband and wife is trust. I won't interfere with your work dealings with Su Qingya anymore, but you have to promise me that you won't lie to me. You must tell me if anything happens. I don't want to be a fool and be kept in the dark."

As Rong Zheng spoke these words, a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

"Okay." Lu Peichuan released Rong Zheng. "Let's eat, or the food will get cold."

Rong Zheng gave a self-deprecating smile. What was she hoping for?

He had already betrayed her, so why would he tell her the truth because of her few words?

When Rong Zheng put down her chopsticks, Lu Peichuan noticed that she hadn't eaten the piece of fish in her bowl. "Zhengzheng, why aren't you eating the fish?"

"I don't like to eat it."

"Didn't you used to love steamed fish the most?"

"People can change, let alone their tastes."

Lu Peichuan felt that Rong Zheng's words had a hidden meaning, but Xu Ma's smiling words dispelled his doubts.

"Many people's tastes change after pregnancy and childbirth." After saying that, Xu Ma looked at Rong Zheng and said, "Madam, please tell me what you don't like to eat now so I can arrange the meals."

"it is good."

Rong Zheng went upstairs to her daughter's room and held her daughter's soft white hand in a daze.

Lu Peichuan had no intention of getting a divorce; he wanted both.

Fortunately, she didn't directly bring up divorce; otherwise, if he hadn't wanted a divorce, she would have been in a very passive position.

She secretly gathered evidence of his infidelity and neglect of the children, believing that this was the only way she could gain the upper hand in the divorce and child custody battle.

Before obtaining evidence, she could only temporarily feign compliance with him.

9 PM.

Lu Peichuan returned to the bedroom from the study and saw Rong Zheng tidying up the dressing room. "You can let the maids do these things. You just finished your postpartum period, you should rest well."

The maid had no idea which items she bought herself and which were bought by Lu Peichuan.

She needs to put things away properly so it will be easier to clean up after the divorce.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. Moving around a bit is good for your health."

Lu Peichuan was about to say something when his phone rang. He picked it up and went to the window to answer it.

Rong Zheng continued tidying up.

After finishing the phone call, Lu Peichuan walked over and gently hugged Rong Zheng from behind.

Rong Zheng froze abruptly. The image of Lu Peichuan hugging Su Qingya like that flashed through her mind, and a wave of nausea surged up inside her. Almost reflexively, she turned around and pushed Lu Peichuan away.

Caught off guard, Lu Peichuan nearly tripped and stumbled a few steps before regaining his balance. He looked at Rong Zheng with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with you?"

Rong Zheng's fingers curled slightly at her side as she tried to calm herself down. "I was just thinking about something when you suddenly hugged me, which startled me."

Lu Peichuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "What are you thinking about so intently?"

"I gave birth prematurely, and my maternity leave is a bit too long. I want to cancel some of my leave and go back to work earlier."

"No, the heavy bleeding during childbirth this time has taken a toll on your body. You must take good care of yourself at home. I gave in to your insistence on going to work when you were heavily pregnant before, but you have to listen to me this time."

Rong Zheng didn't argue with Lu Peichuan. Anyway, once she got the evidence and got a divorce, he couldn't control her anymore.

He replied dismissively, "Okay, whatever you say."

Rong Zheng is a very opinionated person. Once she makes a decision, nothing can change her mind. Lu Peichuan was very happy that she was so obedient this time.

He walked over and tried to take her hand.

Rong Zheng used the excuse of packing her things to turn away and change the subject, "Who called you just now?"

Lu Peichuan's outstretched hand paused in mid-air before he withdrew it. "Manager Wang."

Rong Zheng paused slightly in her movements, then asked naturally, "Are you going to the company again?"

"I'm not going. Let them handle it themselves. I'll stay home with you tonight."

Rong Zheng knew that she should be happy at this moment.

But the thought that he was only spending one night with Su Qingya out of all the nights he spent with her made her feel nauseous, and she couldn't even fake a happy expression.

"You should go. Work is more important. We can do it another day."

Seeing that Rong Zheng was only focused on tidying up and didn't even glance at him, and even tried to shoo him away, Lu Peichuan asked, "Are you still angry with me?"

Rong Zheng looked up at Lu Peichuan and said, "No, it's good for a man to prioritize his career. I was too petty before. I won't argue with you about work anymore."

For some reason, her sudden display of understanding and consideration stirred a sense of unease in Lu Peichuan. "Are you really not angry anymore?"

Rong Zheng nodded, "Really."

Looking at Rong Zheng's open and carefree expression, as if she truly didn't care at all, Lu Peichuan's unease intensified. "Zhengzheng, are you hiding something from me?"

"I stay home every day to recuperate and take care of the children. What could I possibly be hiding from you?" Rong Zheng said with a smile. "Or do you want me to interfere in your work and restrict you in every way, just like before?"

Lu Peichuan felt a little annoyed when he thought about how Rong Zheng always made trouble for him because of Su Qingya. Now that she was so sensible, wasn't that exactly what he wanted?

However, he felt that Rong Zheng seemed a little strange tonight, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Rong Zheng put down the clothes she was holding, walked behind Lu Peichuan, and pushed his shoulder to walk outside. "You should hurry up and get busy. Our daughter is counting on you to earn money for milk powder."

Lu Peichuan glanced back at Rong Zheng, saw that she looked natural and had a faint smile on her lips, said nothing more, and left.

Rong Zheng watched the man's back disappear through the door, the smile on her lips faded, she took a black baseball cap from the closet, then grabbed her car keys and went out.

It was Rong Zheng's first time following someone, and she was a little nervous.

I followed closely, afraid that Lu Peichuan would discover me.

If I lose track of them, I'm afraid I'll lose them too.

About half an hour later, Rong Zheng saw Lu Peichuan park his car in front of a bar in the distance.

Instead of a hotel, how about a bar?

Tired of the hotel? Looking for excitement at a bar?

When Rong Zheng saw Lu Peichuan enter the bar, she immediately found a secluded spot to park her car, then pulled down her baseball cap and went into the bar as well.
