Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned, but she still took the wallet from him. She looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

“I’ll tell you later.” Lu Wanggui’s warm breath landed on her ear.

Xiang Xiaoyuan shrunk her neck. “Ok.”

On the stage, Zhong Huai’s painting was auctioned off at a high price of eight million yuan. The successful bidder had a glowing face, as if they were celebrating the new year. Xiang Xiaoyuan did not understand this kind of mentality. The only thing she was happy about was that the boring auction had finally ended.

Lu Bei went to the bathroom and went outside to get some fresh air. Xiang Xiaoyuan was brought to a quiet corner by Lu Wanggui. This manor was surrounded by mountains and water. Its design was also very unique, like a castle in the middle ages.

The two of them stood on the balcony. Lu Wanggui closed the door. At this moment, everyone at the dinner party was socializing, so no one would come to this place to get some fresh air. Standing in such a place, it was as if one could reach out and touch the stars in the sky.

Xiang Xiaoyuan took out Lu Wanggui’s wallet from her handbag and turned to ask him, “Why are you giving me your wallet?”

“Open it and take a look.”

His wallet was ordinary. After opening it, there were no photos, only a few cards and some cash.

“I think there are two kinds of happiness,” Lu Wanggui said faintly. “One can be bought by money, the other not. I don’t know what is the happiness that money can’t buy for you, but I’ll slowly discover it.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was moved. “You...”

“In an exam, we usually answer the questions we know first, and then the ones we don’t.” Lu Wanggui took the wallet in her hand and a black card from it, and handed it to her.

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “!?”

Her almond-shaped eyes were wide and round, and she looked especially cute.

Lu Wanggui couldn’t help but laugh. “I heard that this is the basic requirement.” He was very familiar with Xiang Xiaoyuan’s happiness. Seeing that she had been stunned and didn’t continue, he urged her in a low voice, “Don’t want it?”

At night, Xiang Xiaoyuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Lu Wanggui said that he had work to deal with and had to go out. In the end, she got up and sent a message to Yang Liu: [ Wanna go shopping tomorrow? ]

Yang Liu replied very quickly: [ Did you win the lottery? ]

Xiang Xiaoyuan took a photo of the black card and sent it to her.

Yang Liu: [ ! ! ! Don’t tell me this is the legendary black card. ]

Xiang Xiaoyuan: [ Congratulations on seeing the black card. Do you want to see how cool I look when I swipe it tomorrow? ]

After chatting with Yang Liu on Wechat for a while, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s pounding heart finally slowed down, and she started to feel sleepy.

At the same time, Lu Wanggui was in a private room. In the private room, Zhong Qiyu looked apologetic. “Ceo Lu, sorry about tonight...”

Lu Wanggui sat down expressionlessly and glanced at Zhong Qiyu. “Sorry?”

“Yes.”

Zhong Qiyu also had a headache. She had been busy for the whole day and was exhausted mentally and physically. However, at this moment, she had to get herself together. “CEO Lu, you should know that I don’t want us to be on bad terms. It’s just that there are many things I can’t control.” At this point, she smiled bitterly. “You should know that I’m not the only one in charge of the Zhong family.”

Lu Wanggui’s gaze was heavy, and his tone was as cold as ice. “It doesn’t matter what kind of relationship she had with your family in the past. She’s my wife now.”

Zhong Qiyu’s tone was bitter. “I know. I didn’t want to disturb her.”

Lu Wanggui lowered his gaze. After a moment, he stood up. He had already said what he needed to say, and his attitude was very clear. Before he left, Zhong Qiyu suddenly said, “How is Xiaoyuan? She didn’t seem to recognize me.”

This made Zhong Qiyu very puzzled, but she couldn’t express her thoughts at that time. Moreover, Lu Wanggui was also warning her with his eyers.

“This is not something you should be concerned about.”

Lu Wanggui’s tone softened slightly. “She’s doing very well now.”

Zhong Qiyu nodded. “That’s good.”

Lu Wanggui left in a hurry, as if he had never been here before. Late at night, there were many people who could not sleep. The Qian family and the Zhong family were considered family friends. However, a few years ago, there was a disagreement related to business. However, the two families still maintained a courteous relationship.

Mrs. Qian sat on the dressing table, removing her makeup while talking to her husband. “What happened today? Why did Zhong Huai’s paintings auctioned? At first, I thought I heard it wrong.”

“I don’t know.”

Mr. Qian sat on the bed and looked at his phone, hearing that, he raised his head. “Recently, the Zhong family’s behavior has been getting more and more confusing. Although Zhong Huai is good at painting, there aren’t many works left.. Under such circumstances, I really can’t understand why they would put his paintings up for auction.”
