Tang Wei suppressed her ‘Okay’ and sat down on the chair without saying anything more.

After a while, the waiter arrived.

The two of them began to enjoy themselves happily. During this time, they even tipped the waiter. After the waiter accepted their tip, he was even more dedicated to serving them properly

Two hours later, Song Chichi went back to the filming set to continue creation for the night cutscene.

Tang Wei took out her phone that had been ringing non-stop. It was from an unknown number.

“Hello,” Tang Wei asked lightly.

“It’s me. Where are you now?”

Lu Beichen sat in the car and asked her in a low voice.

Tang Wei was stunned and then slapped her forehead. She almost forgot that she was going back to the old mansion.

“Hmm?” Lu Beichen asked impatiently.

“I’m at the entrance of Drunken Immortal Residence. Are you coming soon?” Tang Wei quickly said.

“Beep.”

Tang Wei frowned. He had already hung up the call.

She saved his phone number and called Aunt Wang.

“Aunt Wang, it’s me. Please help pack my important clothes into a bag, and don’t forget to bring the cosmetic products on my counter.”

Aunt Wang said, “We’ve already bought and prepared some clothes and cosmetics for you over at the old mansion. You don’t have to bring any.”

Tang Wei was a little stunned. A wealthy family was indeed a wealthy family.

“I see. However, I still have to bring my makeup because I’m used to using them. I’ll have to trouble you, Aunt Wang.”

“No problem, Madam.”

Tang Wei pursed her lips and said to her, “How about this? Please just bring my clothes too. The new clothes might have styles that I’m not a fan of.”

“Oh, okay, okay.” Although Aunt Wang was puzzled, she did not ask further.

She had just ended a call with Lu Beichen not long ago. Knowing that Tang Wei hadn’t ordered anyone to pack up her clothes, he said that there was no need to bring them. He would ask the old mansion to buy them for her.

“That’s all for now. Thank you, Aunt Wang,” Tang Wei said.

At this time, a black Maybach S480 came and stopped beside Tang Wei.

She moved to the side, but the car stuck to her.

She soon realized that this car belonged to her husband.

She was about to approach the seat beside the driver’s spot, thinking that it would be reserved for her. However, someone was opening the door from inside, clearly showing that her prior thought was wrong.

Seeing this, Tang Wei walked over to the passenger seat door. However, she couldn’t open it and felt a little embarrassed.

“Madam, let me do it.”

Xiao Chen wanted to help her, but the man in the backseat was one step faster than him.

“Kachak!”

The door opened.

Tang Wei pursed her lips, took a step back, and quickly got into the car. To be honest, this was her first time sitting in this kind of car, and it was also her first time seeing it. Therefore, in her defense, it was normal that she didn’t know how to open the door!

At the same time, she was slightly embarrassed as she had expected Xiao Chen would have reserved the seat next to the driver for her.

The man in the car was sitting on the other side of the back seat, his slender fingers retracting from the remote control beside him. He frowned as he watched the woman rush in from the car door. Her actions were swift.

“What are you in such a hurry for?” Lu Beichen asked in confusion.

“Don’t you see the people outside?” Tang Wei said as she fastened her seatbelt. “If we delay for too long and they end up noticing us, we might get surrounded, and that wouldn’t really be a good thing.”

Although there were luxury cars everywhere in A City, a woman like Tang Wei gave people the feeling that she was a girl who had just entered university. Moreover, this kind of car was obviously driven by a man, which inevitably would make people suspicious.

However, Lu Beichen did not understand what she meant. After all, he was usually surrounded by people whenever he went out, so he rarely went to crowded places because he found it annoying.

If he had stood outside for half a day like Tang Wei, he wouldn’t have had the chance to get in his car at all.

Xiao Chen, who was in front, heard Tang Wei say that it was not good to get surrounded here. Glancing outside, he saw that there were indeed many people staring at the car and whispering. He quickly started the car.

He did not forget to add, “Madam is right.”

Tang Wei smiled.

The car was silent for a while. She didn’t know how to start a conversation. She thought for a while and asked, “You were on a business trip for a month. Was the air over there different?”

She could only start off with such a boring question.

However, when she thought about how they would still act so distant once they arrived at the old mansion, it would surely arouse suspicion.

Lu Beichen nodded and said lightly, “Yes, it was quite different.”

The two of them had only been married for a few days, but Lu Beichen already had to go on a last-minute business trip. This trip lasted for a month, so the two newlyweds became more and more unfamiliar with each other.

Tang Wei sized up the man without changing her expression.

After Lu Beichen returned from his business trip, his form did not change at all. As a matter of fact, his body seemed to have become more fit. However, he did look a little tired.

His hair was waxed, revealing a smooth forehead, sword-like eyebrows, deep eyes, and a high nose bridge with medium-thick lips.

Tang Wei swallowed her saliva. It was hard not to be distracted when she had such a handsome man beside her.

“Whoosh!”

The man’s gaze swept over like an ice blade.

Lu Beichen’s eyes were filled with impatience. He said in a low voice, “Have you stared enough?”

Tang Wei raised her eyebrows and retracted her gaze. She replied indifferently, “No, I haven’t.”

“…”Lu Beichen was speechless.

“Pfft~”

The man observed the area in front of him. Xiao Chen was busy playing the radio.

Tang Wei sighed and said calmly, “You’re my husband. It’s not a sin for me to appreciate your features.”

Tang Wei did not want to tease Lu Beichen at first, but this guy’s arrogant attitude made her a little unhappy. They were already married, and if he continued to speak so coldly toward her, life with him would be very depressing.

He only managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time. “I’ve only left you for a month, but you’ve already changed.”

Tang Wei thought to herself, ‘This is my original personality. I just want to see your reaction.”

“You’ve become quite handsome.” Tang Wei replied.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

However, Lu Beichen’s expression did not look good and he was at a loss for words. He truly had never met such a ‘rogue’ before. He gritted his teeth as he said, “Tang Wei!”

Her expression turned cold. It seems like she could not provoke Lu Beichen any further.

She softened her tone and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I learned it from a drama I watched. I wanted to see how you would react, so I boldly tried it. Please don’t mind what I did too much.”

Lu Beichen snorted heavily when he heard that. “That’s why you shouldn’t watch such odd dramas.”

He had seen the surveillance footage from the bar that Shen Yi had sent him, but he could not see the woman’s face clearly. It was very blurry, so he naturally did not think that it was his obedient wife. However, some of her teasing words had really surprised him, which made him think it was really her back then. Now that she clarified that she had learned it from a drama, he naturally understood.

“Yes, yes.” Tang Wei went along with the man.

The car fell silent again.

She looked at the motionless car and asked, “Is there a traffic jam?”

Xiao Chen replied, “High likely. It’s after-work hours, so it’s no surprise.”

“Oh.”

Tang Wei glanced at her watch and then looked at the street lights which lit up everything outside the car window. It was a gorgeous view. It was only past seven o’clock, and nighttime hadn’t fully arrived yet.

Lu Beichen stared at the woman beside him. Her side profile was outstanding. The lights from the shopping mall outside illuminated her face, making her look quiet and gentle. She somehow reminded him of a dodder flower.

Lu Beichen asked, “Do you still not have a job?”

Tang Wei turned to look at him and said after a moment of silence, “I do have a job.”
