On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

"It's okay, as long as they're out."

Watching Lu Chuan's retreating figure, Liu Ruyan comforted herself in her heart.

Take your time.

"I'm sure I can make him change his mind."

The two walked out of the office area one after the other.

But as soon as they arrived at the law enforcement team's hall, someone bumped into them.

The newcomer was dressed in a black uniform, tall and burly, with a full beard and sharp eyes.

It was Wen Long.

He had just returned from the crime scene in the west of the city.

Unexpectedly, upon returning, he saw Lu Chuan and Liu Ruyan, and couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Lu Chuan also stopped in his tracks instantly.

The two locked eyes.

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

Liu Ruyan's heart tightened.

Instinctively, she took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Chuan.

"Captain Wen."

Liu Ruyan forced a smile.

"The formalities are complete, can we leave now?"

Wen Long nodded.

"Um."

"Can."

"However, Lu Chuan, I still have many questions. As a seven-star martial artist, do you really not know that Lao Hei has been following you all along?"

This was something he couldn't understand even after thinking about it the whole way.

Old Hei was actually tracking Lu Chuan, how could he possibly have died outside?

Since Lao Hei, a four-star martial artist, is dead, how could Lu Chuan, who is only a seven-star martial artist, be alright?

There's something he doesn't know about this.

"have no idea."

Lu Chuan shook his head decisively.

"I'd also like to ask Captain Wen why he's been following me. Could you help me investigate?"

Wen Long frowned and remained silent.

Why follow him?

Wen Long had a guess.

However, he couldn't afford to offend the people involved in this matter.

"Fine, you can go."

Wen Long waved his hand and said,

"What happened tonight must have been a misunderstanding."

……

We exited the law enforcement team's gate.

It was already 1 a.m.

on the street.

Empty and desolate.

There were very few vehicles on the streets.

Nancheng is, after all, just a small city, and many people have already gone home to rest by this time.

Lu Chuan walked ahead, taking long strides.

Liu Ruyan followed behind, and had to jog to barely catch up.

The high heels clicked on the ground repeatedly.

"husband!"

"Honey, slow down!"

Liu Ruyan was panting heavily.

I didn't notice when I went out today that these shoes are okay for walking, but they're too tiring to jog.

Lu Chuan kept moving.

He didn't turn around.

All he wants now is to go home.

Go back to the home that belongs to him alone, see the little monkey, and then get a good night's sleep.

As for Liu Ruyan?

He felt that they had made things clear enough between themselves.

What happened tonight?

Lu Chuan felt grateful and moved.

But that's all.

"Lu Chuan!"

Liu Ruyan, who was following behind, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She shouted and rushed forward, grabbing Lu Chuan's sleeve.

"Can you stop for a second? I have something to tell you!"

Lu Chuan was forced to stop.

Then he turned around, looked at Liu Ruyan, and asked calmly,

"What did you say?"

"If you're asking about Seven-Star Warriors, I have nothing to say."

"If you want to ask about the case, you'd better ask Su Yan, not me."

"That's not what I'm asking!"

Feeling Lu Chuan's aloof attitude, Liu Ruyan felt a pang of grievance.

I'm here to save you!

To get you out, I begged and pleaded, used every connection I had, and didn't even get any sleep.

How could you do this to me?

"Lu Chuan, what do you want from me to forgive me?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes were red-rimmed as she pleaded softly.

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to see Su Yan. I shouldn't have lied to you."

"But……"

"But we've been together for seven years!"

"Seven years of relationship, are you really so heartless as to just throw it all away like that?"

"Seven years."

Lu Chuan stared at her blankly.

Looking at this face that I used to love so much.

She sighed softly.

"Yes, seven years."

"Liu Ruyan, in these seven years, I have cooked for you, washed your clothes, picked you up from get off work, and cherished you like a precious gem."

"And the result?"

"On our wedding night, you left me alone and went to a hotel to see another man."

"In the hotel, you even tried to hit me in order to protect him."

"Liu Ruyan, you said that's your godson, you said you're innocent."

Do you even believe it yourself?

"A man threatens suicide in the middle of the night just to see you. Is this how a younger brother feels for his older sister?"

Lu Chuan's voice was not loud; he did not shout hysterically.

But at this moment, his calmness was like a knife, piercing straight into Liu Ruyan's body.

"I……"

Liu Ruyan opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but found herself speechless.

Actually, even now...

She herself knew that Su Yan had feelings for her.

But she always lied to herself, saying that it was her younger brother's dependence on his older sister, and that as long as she held firm to her principles, everything would be fine.

However, that's what she calls her bottom line.

In Lu Chuan's view, it had already been trampled to pieces long ago.

"Honey, I'll change, I really will!"

Tears.

It flowed down again.

Liu Ruyan carefully took a step forward, wanting to hug Lu Chuan.

"Honey, I'll change, okay?"

"I'll never see him again. I'll block him and cut off all contact completely, okay?"

Looking at the tear-streaked face in front of me.

This face was once his favorite.

He would soften and compromise unconditionally whenever she cried.

But now, he only feels tired.

"Cut off all contact?"

Lu Chuan shook his head.

"Liu Ruyan, you can't do it."

"I can do it, I can do it, I swear!"

Liu Ruyan burst into tears.

"it is good."

Lu Chuan suddenly asked a question,

"So, are you willing to resign?"

"What?"

Liu Ruyan was stunned.

"Resign from my job at the martial arts association."

Lu Chuan said calmly,

"Su Yan is the president's son. You two will run into each other all the time in the association."

"You said you wouldn't contact me, so why aren't you contacting me?"

"As long as you're still in that circle, you'll never get rid of him."

"So, if you really want to salvage the situation, then resign."

"Can you stay at home from now on, or find a regular job?"

air.

Suddenly it became quiet.

Liu Ruyan stared blankly at Lu Chuan, her eyes filled with shock.

Resign?

Resign from the position of secretary to the president of the martial arts association?

How is that possible!

How many years did she strive for this position?

How much suffering did they endure?

In the southern part of the city, the secretary to the president of the Martial Arts Association is a prominent figure.

When she goes out, who wouldn't give her some face?

That was not just a high-paying job, but also her social status and her glory.

To make her give up everything and become a housewife just to avoid Su Yan?

Liu Ruyan was struggling intensely inside.

She loves Lu Chuan, that's for sure.

But she also loves her career and the feeling of being the center of attention.
