I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating-Chapter 102 - A Little Stubbornness Is Quite Cute

Lu Wanggui once again felt that it was a mistake for him to pick her up. However, the mistake had already been made.

In the darkness, he suddenly opened his eyes, got out of bed, and walked to the door. After taking a cold shower, he simply laid down in the bedroom next door. He was in a daze until dawn. Only then did he barely fall asleep.

To some people, business was more important than love.

Lu Wanggui could be considered a representative of the industry. When Lu Bei was three years old, he had reached a consensus with his ex-wife to get a divorce. Considering that Lu Bei was still young, the two of them discussed that they would officially divorce when their child was older. During this period of time, although they lived under the same roof, they did not communicate much. His ex-wife was busy pursuing the life she wanted, and he was also busy working in the company. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

After the two of them officially divorced, Lu Wanggui returned to being single. Many people introduced him to other people, and some even hinted that with his current status, he could get a lover, the kind of relationship that had no strings attached.

However, Lu Wanggui rejected them politely.

Many people felt that Lu Wanggui’s life was simple and he had no desires. That was because they did not understand Lu Wanggui. It was not that he did not have desires, but he put more of his attention on work and his son, he did not think much about love.

He knew that Xiang Xiaoyuan was very beautiful. Back then, his good friend who knew that he had remarried teased him, saying, “I thought you had no desires and was about to become a monk. I did not expect you to have such great taste. Only a top-notch beauty could move your heart.”

However, no one knew that when he first met Xiang Xiaoyuan, he only objectively thought that she was pretty good-looking. Other than that, he did not have any other thoughts.

As for marrying her, there was another reason, and both of them knew it.

In Lu Wanggui’s plan, the marriage between him and Xiang Xiaoyuan would not last long. Perhaps next year, or a few years later, the two of them would divorce peacefully. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Xiang Xiaoyuan needed the protection using the identity of Mrs. Lu, and he did it to honor a promise.

However, the things that were clearly planned suddenly went awry, and Xiang Xiaoyuan… seemed to have become another person.

At first, when he found out that something was wrong, he wanted to find out what her purpose was and to verify if everything she had done before was fake. But now, things were getting out of his control.

Even though he had just fallen asleep in the morning, Lu Wanggui still woke up on time. After tormenting himself the whole night, his iron body also felt tired. When Lu Wanggui went out to the office, Xiang Xiaoyuan was still sleeping soundly. By the time she woke up, Lu Bei had already left a long time ago.

Butler Liu brought her a bowl of bird’s nest as usual and said with a smile, “Young Master waited at home for ten more minutes before he went out.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s brain was still in a daze. After a while, she asked in surprise, “Waiting for me?”

Butler Liu smiled. “Maybe.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan put down the spoon. “Then would he be late for work today? Did the chauffeur send him?”

Butler Liu shook his head. “Young Master seems to have run to the subway station. He was stubborn when he was young, and he hasn’t changed much after he grew up.”

Although Xiang Xiaoyuan hadn’t watched Lu Bei grow up, she had read the entire novel. She was very clear about Lu Bei’s life trajectory. If the author of the novel wrote a little more, she might even know if his future children were male or female, she knew what their names were.

When she thought of this, she could not help but feel an inexplicable sense of pride. This might be the joy of knowing the future.

“Being a little stubborn is also quite cute.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan rested her chin on one hand. Lu Bei’s stubbornness did not cause any trouble for others. Instead, he was competing with himself or his father. This father and son pair was quite interesting.

Butler Liu smiled kindly. “Madam, you seem to have been drunk yesterday.”

Only then did Xiang Xiaoyuan remember that she had drunk quite a lot yesterday. However, she only remembered that she had been brought home by Lu Wanggui. She could not remember anything else.

According to her usual drunken habits, she should have gone to bed after taking a shower.

“I seem to have drunk a little too much.” Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled. “Could it be that I went crazy from drinking at home yesterday?”

Although she asked, she was still very confident in her alcohol tolerance. Before she transmigrated into the novel, she could hold her liquor very well. She would get drunk occasionally and not talk much, let alone go crazy from drinking.

Moreover, she was not too drunk yesterday. At least she remembered that when Lu Wanggui brought her home, he even bent down to tie her shoelaces.

Butler Liu shook his head. “I don’t think so. When Master brought you back, we were already asleep, and we didn’t hear too much noise.”
