MTL - The Whole World Wants Them To Get Divorced-Chapter 78
When Chen Yan came in to deliver the documents, Lu Xi raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said, "I get off work at five o'clock. If there is anything else that needs to be signed, bring it in."
"It's all here." Chen Yan glanced at her right wrist. If I remember correctly, this watch was brought to Lu Xi by Si Yu on the Qixi Festival last year. Lu Xi never wears decorations, but now he cherishes this watch, which is really strange. Seeing Lu Xi quickly signing the document, Chen Yan smiled knowingly and said, "Is Lu always in a hurry to get off work?"
As if thinking of something happy, the corner of Lu Xi's mouth rose slightly and said, "Yeah."
In the past, Lu Xi wanted to be in the company 24 hours a day, but now he looks forward to getting off work every day. She wanted to get things done earlier and go home earlier because there was someone at home waiting for her.
At five o'clock, Lu Xi left the office on time, and before she got into the elevator, she suddenly received a call from Secretary Lu Zhennan.
An hour later, Lu Xi arrived at a five-star hotel.
"Sister!" Lu Wei, who was standing at the door, waved to her.
Lu Xi walked over: "Where are dad and auntie?"
"In there, Dad asked me to pick you up." Lu Wei took her hand and walked inside.
Entering the private room, Lu Xi saw Lu Zhennan and Tang Jie sitting inside, as well as two middle-aged men and women dressed in extravagance. Before she could say hello, the middle-aged lady said cheerfully, "Is this Xixi? It's so beautiful that I can't even recognize it."
Lu Xi nodded slightly to the lady, and said, "Aunt." Then he turned to the middle-aged man beside the lady, "Uncle."
This uncle's name is Tang Yaoming, who is actually Lu Wei's mother, that is, Tang Jie's cousin who has no direct blood relationship. Before, their family lived abroad all year round and just returned to China today. After Lu Zhennan got the news, he held a simple reception banquet for them.
Tang Jie is Lu Xi's stepmother. The relationship between the two is not close, let alone with these so-called aunts and uncles. Lu Xi doesn't understand why Lu Zhennan insists on her coming to accompany her.
Tang Yaoming looked at her admiringly and said, "I heard from your father that you are now taking over the light and shadow. You can manage the company so well at a young age, and you have the courage."
Lu Xi twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You have won the prize."
Tang Yaoming also praised Lu Wei a few words.
After some polite greetings, I sat down.
Lu Wei's eyes rolled around and found that there was one missing person: "Didn't you say cousin Tang Wen also came back? Why didn't you see him."
“He went to buy something.” Mrs. Tang said.
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a tall man in a suit and leather shoes and gold-rimmed glasses walked in, holding a bouquet of red roses in his arms.
"Sorry for keeping everyone waiting." The man said with a warm smile.
"Cousin!" Lu Wei recognized the person.
"Wei Wei." It was Tang Yaoming's only son, Tang Wen, who came in. He looked past Lu Wei and saw Lu Xi sitting upright, walked straight over, and handed the rose to Lu Xi.
Lu Xi was taken aback: "This is?"
Tang Wen blushed slightly and said, "It's for you."
Lu Xi: "…"
"Cousin, why does my sister have flowers and I don't?" Lu Wei said dissatisfied.
Tang Wen didn't seem to hear Lu Wei's complaint, he stared straight at Lu Xi, and was a little embarrassed to see Lu Xi refused to answer.
Mrs. Tang found that the atmosphere was delicate, and hurriedly came out to smooth things out: "Weiwei, aunt brought you a gift."
"Really? What gift?" Lu Wei's attention was diverted.
She and Tang Wen had only met a few times, and it was only when they were young. The two were completely unfamiliar, and they gave roses when they met, which was really strange.
In the end, Lu Xi didn't answer, so Tang Wen had to put the flower aside and sit next to her as if nothing happened.
It took almost four hours for a meal.
Lu Zhennan and Tang Jie sent the Tang family out of the hotel, watched them leave and returned to the private room.
"Cousin is really partial, why only buy flowers for you?" Lu Wei stared resentfully at the bouquet of red roses in front of Lu Xi.
Lu Xi gave her a strange look. Out of the corner of the eye, she saw Lu Zhennan and Tang Jie walking back. She stood up and asked bluntly, "Dad, why did you call me over today?"
"It's been a long time since I saw you, their family wants to see you."
"Just like that?"
Lu Zhennan stroked his hair, motioned Tang Jie to close the door, pondered for a while, and said, "The group has a lot of business dealings with the Tang family, and with the help of the Tang family, we will open up foreign markets in the future. It's more convenient. Tang Wen is about your age, and now he has taken over their company, he is considered young and promising. If you can marry Tang Wen, our two will join forces for mutual benefit and win-win results."
Although Lu Xi saw some clues from the overly attentiveness of the Tang family to her during the meal, she was still shocked to hear Lu Zhennan tell the truth.
"You want me to marry Tang Wen?" Lu Xi seemed to hear a big joke, but she didn't laugh, her cold white face showed a hint of sullen, "Dad, are you old? Confused, I married Si Yu three years ago."
Lu Zhennan was neither angry nor annoyed, and said, "You and Si Yu just agreed to get married, but you don't have any feelings. It's good to leave. And the Tang family knows that you are married by agreement, they don't mind."
It's good to leave, it's easy to say.
Lu Xi frowned deeply and said word by word: "Si Yu and I will not divorce, you don't have to worry about it."
Not even waiting for Lu Zhennan to respond, she opened the private room door and left without looking back.
The road is full of neon lights and traffic.
The air conditioner was not turned on in the car, and the warm wind blew in from the half-opened window, and it took a long time for Lu Xi's violently heaving chest to return to its normal frequency. She gripped the steering wheel and rubbed her temples.
What to eat, but a blind date in disguise.
If she knew that Lu Zhennan was aiming for this purpose, she would not come here if she was killed today.
"Ding dong—" The phone rang.
She thought it was Si Yu who sent her a message, but when she picked it up, she found that it was from Tang Wen's friend who was affectionate, her face turned cold, and she nodded.
It was almost midnight when I got home.
The nanny has gone to rest, only one night vision light is left in the living room.
Lu Xi went up to the second floor, stopped in front of a room, raised his hand to knock on the door subconsciously, thought for a while, and gently twisted the door handle.
The warm yellow light of the floor lamp shone on the woman's peaceful face, her soft body curled up like a cat, holding a mobile phone in her hand, but she was already asleep.
Lu Xi pushed aside the bangs that blocked her eyes, watched her quietly for a while, and wanted to take the phone out of her hand.
Si Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
“…”
“…”
In those beautiful eyes, the sleepiness and confusion just woke up, Lu Xi laughed dumbly, and said, "Did you disturb you?"
Si Yu gave a vague "uh", scratched her palm with his fingers, and muttered, "Sneak in in the middle of the night, what do you want?"
Lu Xi looked at her misty eyes and said half-jokingly, "I originally wanted to kiss her and run away, but I didn't expect you to find out."
Si Yu blushed and spit: "Bad."
"I haven't kissed yet, so you're scolding too early." Lu Xi lowered his head a little and looked straight at her plump and rosy lips, "Are you going to kiss?"
"...No." Si Yu tried to push her, but unexpectedly found that she was holding a bouquet of pink roses in her arms, her eyes lit up, "Where are the flowers?"
Lu Xi couldn't help pinching her face: "For you."
"For me?" Si Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then got up, took the bouquet of roses, and looked at her in surprise, "Why did you suddenly send me flowers?"
Maybe inspired by Tang Wen, when driving past a 24-hour flower shop, Lu Xi thought and stopped the car.
She didn't want to tell Si Yu that Lu Zhennan wanted to match her and Tang Wen, she smiled lightly and said, "I think of you when I see these flowers. Do you like it?"
It feels amazing to open your eyes and receive flowers. Si Yu's eyes curled into crescents and he said, "I like it."
"Then... give a point?"
Si Yu's eyelashes moved slightly, and he put one arm around her neck and kissed her on the lips: "Thank you."
After kissing, she wanted to evacuate, but Lu Xi hugged her waist and kissed him.
The fragrance of flowers lingers in the nostrils, and there is a faint aroma of wine between the lips and teeth.
The little water turned into a deep kiss.
"Have you been drinking?" said Siyu breathlessly when they parted.
"Drink a little."
No wonder it's so intoxicating.
Si Yu went over and rubbed with her for a while, and finally gave up until she felt dizzy and weak, and looked down at the watch in her hand. : "Go take a bath and sleep."
Lu Xi sat still, an urge suddenly arose in her heart, she wanted to say "Can I sleep here tonight", but the words felt too abrupt and swallowed.
Si Yu pushed her again.
Lu Xi's eyes were deep, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Don't want to hear the details?"
"What is it..." Si Yu slowly realized that she was talking about that very intimate dream, her heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep, so I won't listen..."
"Okay." With a hint of regret in Lu Xi's tone, he helped her put the phone and roses on the bedside table, leaned over and kissed her forehead, and said, "Good night. ."
Out of the bedroom, I happened to meet Lu Zhennan and others who came back later.
Lu Zhennan glanced at the closed bedroom door and said in a deep voice, "Come to the study."
Lu Xi followed him to the study.
Lu Zhennan looked at her frosty face, sighed, and said, "Angry?"
Lu Xi looked directly at the past and said lukewarmly, "Call me over without discussing it with me. You are disrespectful to people like this."
Lu Zhennan choked and said, "The time is too tight, I didn't have time to discuss it with you. And it's just a meal, I didn't say that you must marry Tang Wen, this kind of thing still has to be It depends on your personal will."
Lu Xi's jaw tightened, and he said in an irrefutable tone, "I won't divorce Si Yu."
Lu Zhennan said in surprise: "Didn't you always hate her? I heard from Aunt Zhao that after marriage, you all slept in separate rooms. I asked you here a year ago, and you were still very firm. You said you want to leave her, why don't you want to leave now?"
Lu Xi did say something like that a year ago, but now she was slapped in the face by "papapa".
Emotions are very mysterious, and Lu Xi didn't expect his feelings for Si Yu to change so quickly in the past year. , I don't want to divorce her."
Lu Zhennan: “…”
Si Yu was completely unaware of Lu Xi being forced to go on a blind date. After staying at home for a few days, she could no longer be idle. She went to the company to find Zhu Qi and asked Zhu Qi to arrange something for her. work.
"What resources do you want, wouldn't it be faster for you to find Mr. Lu directly?" Zhu Qi said without a smile.
Si Yu knew that she was deliberately teasing her relationship with Lu Xi. With a warm face, she said solemnly, "I'll ask her directly, so you're not going to be laid off as an agent?"
Zhu Qi was shocked and hurriedly pushed a few scripts in front of her and said, "It's all female No. 1, you can choose whatever you want."
Si Yu picked up the script and glanced at it, and let it go.
"Nothing to your liking?"
Si Yu shook his head and said, "The story is not new, the characters are not challenging, and I don't want to act."
If another artist said this, Zhu Qi would beat her on the head every minute. Si Yu's acting skills are not at all like a newcomer who has just debuted for less than a year. These silly and sweet roles really waste her acting skills. And Si Yu is not short of money, so it's normal not to like these scripts.
Zhu Qi was overwhelmed: "There is no particularly outstanding script this year, and I have carefully selected these."
Si Yu remembered that Lu Xi had told her before that there was no good script for this year. In that case, she would rather wait.
The day after tomorrow, the game "God's Domain" will be fully tested. As the spokesperson, Si Yu will attend the press conference. At the press conference, he will demonstrate the game process to the audience. Zhu Qi asked her to go back and prepare well.
The operation of this game is very simple, and Siyu can basically master it after playing it for a day.
On the day of the conference, she wore a white one-shoulder dress to attend, and her long hair was slightly curled. Although the makeup was very light, she was gorgeous and glowing.
Lu Xi also attended the press conference as the CEO of Light and Shadow. She was also wearing a long white dress. She was tall, elegant and cold.
Because we want to demonstrate the game process, the conference will be broadcast live online in cooperation with a certain platform. When Si Yu and Lu Xi appeared in the camera at the same time, the barrage exploded, all complimenting their immortal looks.
The one-hour press conference, the first half an hour was a question-and-answer session for the game. After the question-and-answer session, the staff lifted the computer up and asked Si Yu, the spokesperson, to take everyone to experience the game.
It took a lot of time just to debug the equipment, the scene was a bit cold, the host looked at the LCD screen in front, the number of online viewers had already been one million, and the barrage was about to fly. She looked closer, thinking that everyone was discussing the game, but she didn't expect that they were talking about Si Yu and Lu Xi.
"Mr. Lu, they praise you for your beauty." The host took the opportunity to flatter Lu Xi.
Lu Xi looked away from Si Yu who was communicating with the technical staff, looked at the screen from a distance, and said cherishly, "Thank you."
The barrage began to frantically brush "high cold".
The host also felt that Lu Xi was cold, but did not dare to say it. He caught a glimpse of a barrage and turned to Lu Xi: "Mr. Lu, the audience wants to interact with you, is it okay?"
"What interaction?"
"Just to ask you some questions."
Lu Xi pondered slightly and said, "Don't involve privacy."
The host looked at the screen and found that everyone was asking questions such as "Who is Mr. Lu's wife?", his face stiffened, and he said, "You can't ask about privacy."
She was also curious about who Mr. Lu's wife was, but didn't have the guts to ask.
The audience loves to make a fool of themselves, they don't cooperate at all, and they get more and more excited.
The host was dazzled, and finally found a less private one in the dense barrage, and read it out: "An audience member said that you also wore this watch at the last press conference, Where did you buy it."
These are all boring questions. Moderator belly slander.
Lu Xi raised her wrist, brushed her long and beautiful fingers across the dial, her cold face softened a little, and said, "My wife gave it to me. I don't know where to buy it, I will ask when I look back. she."
The host thought: This question is not boring at all! Which netizen asked the housekeeper to remember to add chicken legs!
She turned to look at the barrage.
[Yes, I bought it! 】
[Wife come and ask me, I'm watching your live broadcast. 】
】
. 】
[Mr. Lu: I bought it for my wife, no matter how cheap it is. 】
】
【So who is Mr. Lu's wife? It has been a long time since no one broke the news, this paparazzi will not work. 】
…
The question was about the watch, but as a result, everyone went back to "Mr. Lu's wife".
Fortunately, the equipment has been debugged over there, the technician switched the camera to the computer, and Si Yu started the demonstration.
The demonstration took about half an hour, Si Yu sat with a sore back.
The press conference was almost over. The host pulled Si Yu to the middle of the stage and briefly interviewed her: "Have you received any new dramas recently?"
"Not yet." Si Yu thought about it and said, "But "The Favorite Concubine 2" will be broadcast in a few days, and I will play Sakuraji in it, everyone remember to watch it."
The host teased: "You don't forget to advertise yourself."
Si Yu smiled playfully.
The host is also a contract artist of Light and Shadow. Since Si Yu mentioned "The Favorite Concubine 2", she simply cooperated with Si Yu to help her company do more advertising: "Chen Shuang in "Your Smile" is a very complicated A multi-faceted character, there seems to be no Sakuraji in the first part of "The Concubine", what kind of character is this?"
"The character of Sakuraji also has many faces, and it is more complicated than Chen Shuang. I like this character very much, and it is very enjoyable to play. It is difficult to explain in three or two sentences. ." Si Yu deliberately sold off.
Host: "You seem to enjoy challenging these difficult roles."
Si Yu: "In terms of performance, I am a person who likes to challenge myself."
Host: "What kind of role or theme would you most like to play?"
Before wearing the book, Si Yu has acted in dramas for nearly ten years. She has challenged almost all kinds of roles and themes. I am willing to try any role that can impress me. Any subject matter is fine, but I most want to act in a stage play, because I have never acted it before.”
Host: "Stage plays have high requirements on actors, not only can you act, but also sing. Can you sing?"
Si Yu said: "It's okay, it's not out of tune."
Host: "Can you sing us a few words on the spot?"
"Yes."
Si Yu did not hesitate at all, picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and hummed the theme song of the game "God's Domain". Her voice is clear and clean, without any singing skills, but it is surprisingly good.
She sang so deeply that she didn't know that Lu Xi was walking beside her.
The camera gave Si Yu a close-up, and then swept to the others. When capturing Lu Xi standing on Si Yu's right hand as if fascinated, the photographer stepped back a little and put these two beautiful figures in the lens, which is pleasing to the eye.
The barrage was still discussing how Si Yu sang like this, but when Lu Xi appeared in the camera, the content changed immediately.
【Boss Lu was dumbfounded 2333】
[Wait, what's wrong with Mr. Lu looking at Si Yu's eyes, his eyes are full of love and tenderness? ? ? 】
[Fuck, I suddenly found that Si Yu and Mr. Lu were wearing couples clothes. 】
[Although Mr. Lu has a wife, I still want to say that they really match well together. 】
[Actually, have you noticed that, apart from the interaction just now, Mr. Lu seems to be looking in the direction of Si Yu. 】
【I have a bold guess, is it possible that Mr. Lu's wife is Si Yu? 】
[Can the front be disgusting, the same color is a couple outfit? Why didn't you say that the technical guy in white and Mr. Lu were wearing couple outfits. 】
】
[Can you shut up, Si Yu's brain-damaged fans, Mr. Lu has a wife, you still YY, want to be a mistress? 】
】
【Sneak away my little words…】
…
The louder and more intense the barrage became, Si Yu and Lu Xi, who were the parties, did not know what happened.
When Si Yu finished singing and returned the microphone to the host, he found that Lu Xi was looking at him with affection, and his heart skipped a beat.
Online live broadcast, can you converge? ! Si Yu warned her with his eyes.
Lu Xi obviously did not receive her hint, looked at her almost obsessively, and said, "It sounds so nice."
Speak: "…"
Lu Xi didn't take the microphone, the audience couldn't hear her voice, but the host heard it, and saw the fierce scolding on the barrage, just happened to see someone guessing that Si Yu was Lu Xi's wife This was a misunderstanding by the audience, so she hurriedly asked Lu Xi, "Mr. Lu, can your wife sing?"
Facing the camera, Lu Xi seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Yes."
The host wanted to do something and asked her with a smile, "Then do you think your wife sings well, or Si Yu sings well?"
Lu Xi glanced at Si Yu and said, "It sounds just as good."
Speak: "…"
After the press conference, Si Yu returned to the backstage and sighed with relief when he saw the content that Xiao Xia had captured for her.
Although some people in the barrage guessed her relationship with Lu Xi, it seems that most netizens don't believe it.
Lu Xi only saw those barrages afterwards, and his face instantly turned black.
The night was quiet.
A slender figure walked through the corridor and knocked on the door of a certain room.
Si Yu put down her phone and jumped out of bed with bare feet, opened the door, and found that it was Lu Xi, with both hands hanging around her neck and pulling him in.
After the suffocating rubbing, Lu Xi put his arms around her waist and looked down at her: "When will it be made public?"
Si Yu was kissed so badly, that his mind couldn't turn around: "What's public?"
"Our relationship." Lu Xi emphasized again, "When can it be made public?"
Si Yu was stunned for a while, and said, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"I watched the replay of the press conference today, and saw a lot of people scolding you, some of them harshly." Lu Xi's cold and white face was full of displeasure, "I don't want others to misunderstand you. , I don't want to see you being scolded like that for no reason."
Si Yu probably guessed what she saw, and played with her hair boringly with her fingers, and said indifferently: "Those people are deliberately black, just don't look at it, it won't hurt anyway. I."
"You don't care?"
Si Yu shrugged and said, "If I care about every scolding of me, then I will be scolded to death."
Lu Xi pursed her lips.
Do you not care if others scold her or their relationship?
When they got married and signed an agreement three years ago, she clearly remembered that Si Yu was very unhappy about the "not allowed to be disclosed to the public", why is she now refusing to reveal it?
She suddenly wasn't sure whether Si Yu had been keeping her secret, whether she was worried that her private life would be disturbed, or that she didn't want others to know about their relationship for some reason.
"What's wrong?" Si Yu pinched her waist.
Lu Xi was ticklish, and Piaoyuan's thoughts retracted, his eyes swept across her rosy lips, looked at her bright eyes, and asked, "Do you know what day tomorrow is?"
Si Yu's brain was running fast, she couldn't think of anything special tomorrow, so she asked her: "What day?"
"..." Lu Xi felt disappointed in her heart, her lips moved, and she said helplessly, "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you have time tomorrow."
"Tomorrow morning I will accompany my grandma to the hospital for a checkup." Si Yu looked at her inexplicably, "What do you want?"
Lu Xi gently brushed her lips with his thumb, and said softly, "Let's go on a date tomorrow night."
“…dating?”
"Yes." Lu Xi paused and said, "Go to a place with good privacy, make sure there are no paparazzi, and don't worry about being photographed secretly."
Speaking of they haven't officially dated yet, Si Yu was a little moved and said, "Okay."
The next day, after Si Yu and Mrs. Lu left, Lu Xi also drove out, but instead of going to the hospital, she went to the mall.
went to a brand store to get something, she drove back.
Entering the living room from the garage, saw a figure with long hair fluttering sitting on the sofa, Lu Xi paused, thinking it was Si Yu coming back.
Approached and found it was not.
Si Yu's hair is longer than the other party's, and Si Yu wears a floral dress when he goes out, this person is wearing a white chiffon shirt.
Why is there a strange woman at home?
"Miss, you are back." The nanny came out of the kitchen with the cut fruit and saw Lu Xi greeting her.
The woman on the sofa looked over, showing a familiar and unfamiliar face.
Lu Xi was extremely surprised: "...It's you."
She squeezed her hands together tightly, took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Xixi, long time no see."
