I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating

Chapter 53: Shall We Go Home Together?

After recognizing that it was Lu Wanggui’s car, she stopped and turned around. The car stopped right in front of her, and the window of the backseat opened, slowly revealing Lu Wanggui’s handsome face. Xiang Xiaoyuan took two steps forward with a radiant smile. “Why did you get off work so early today?”

Lu Wanggui’s gaze wandered around her. She had been writing greeting cards at home all day. She had chosen a t-shirt that was more comfortable. Underneath it was a pair of casual shorts that had become popular recently, and she was wearing white sneakers. Her long hair was casually tied into a bun and hung lazily behind her head.

She was not too old. In addition to her good looks and light makeup, she looked the same age as Wei Zihang even though she was ten years older.

Lu Wanggui said in his usual tone, “Yes, I have less work to do. Are you done with your work?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan said lightly, “Yes! My convenience store is opening soon. I was thinking of sending some gifts to the neighbours to welcome them and invite them to the opening.”

“Okay.”

Lu Wanggui glanced at Wei Zihang, who was behind her. The casual glance made Wei Zihang’s hair stand on end, and he was scared out of his wits.

Before this, although Wei Zihang was afraid of Lu Wanggui, he would still obediently greet him. Today, he probably felt guilty. A second ago, he was rendered speechless by Xiang Xiaoyuan’s words. In the next second, he saw Lu Wanggui. He suddenly understood why An Yu was so afraid that she could not sleep well just because of a sentence.

They were not worried that Xiang Xiaoyuan would be unhappy because of this, but they were afraid that she would complain to Lu Wanggui. What would Uncle Lu think if he knew about this? Would he think that they were being too meddlesome? They were just juniors and friends of Lu Bei. What right did they have to interfere in the matters of the Lu family? Moreover, the things that they could think of… wouldn’t Uncle Lu think of it as well?

Wei Zihang now understood very well Xiang Xiaoyuan’s words about them not meddling in the Lu family’s matters. These things were not something that they should be involved in!

He could not control the panic on his face. Even if he wanted to hide it, he was still seen through by Lu Wanggui with just one look.

Wei Zihang endured the immense pressure and greeted awkwardly, “Hi, Uncle Lu.”

His fear was too obvious. It was so obvious that Xiang Xiaoyuan gave him a strange look. She knew that Lu Wanggui had an imposing manner, but he was a gentle and refined person. There was really no need to be so afraid, right?

What Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know was that not everyone was as calm and steady as her, who could sleep peacefully on the same bed as the big boss, and even snatched the big boss’s blanket which caused him to wake up from the cold…

Lu Wanggui nodded slightly in response to Wei Zihang’s greeting. He asked Xiang Xiaoyuan, “Are you going home? Should we go together?”

The Repulse Bay Villa district was very big. They might not be able to finish strolling around on their feet in a day. However, they just walked around the surrounding area. At this time, they were only a few minutes’ walk away from home.

It would be a waste not to take the air-conditioned car. Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded happily and went around to the other side to open the car door and get in.

Because it was quite far from the city, and the villa district was close to the mountains, the temperature was a few degrees lower than in the city. However, the heat that accumulated on the ground during the day still made people feel stuffy and hot. Xiang Xiaoyuan sat in the back seat and felt the cool air coming from all directions. She let out a comfortable sigh, “The air-conditioner gives us life during summer.”

Lu Wanggui looked at Wei Zihang and said calmly, “Are you going to look for Xiao Bei? Get in the car and let’s have a meal together?”

Wei Zihang quickly shook his head. He felt that he had rejected him too directly. He quickly added, “There’s no need, Uncle Lu. I still have things to do at home. Let’s have a meal together next time. Thank you, Uncle Lu.”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “Alright then. Are you going to be picked up by your family? Or should I arrange for a chauffeur to send you?”

“No, there’s no need to send me. My brother is coming to pick me up. He’ll be here soon.”

“Okay, then be careful.”

Wei Zihang felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly ran toward the gate of the residential area and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The driver started the car and slowly drove toward the ninth villa.

Thinking of what he had just said to Wei Zihang, Xiang Xiaoyuan tilted her head to look at him. “Did you leave work early today on purpose?”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “I’ve been too busy with the company recently and haven’t been able to take care of you guys. I just happened to be free today and wanted to have dinner with you guys.”

Perhaps it was because they shared the same bed, Xiang Xiaoyuan was becoming less affected by Lu Wanggui’s aura, and they were getting more and more familiar with each other. Occasionally, she would think that it would not be bad for the two of them to continue being like this.

First, he did not have many requests in bed. For a man who was about to enter his forties, his requests in bed were extremely low. It could even be said that he did not have any requests. She did not need to put in any effort to deal with him.

Second, after this period of time together, she found that Lu Wanggui was an excellent “husband.” He had a good temper and a gentle personality. He would use his status to ask her to do anything. He respected her and let her do whatever she wanted, this kind of respectful husband-and-wife relationship was something that Xiang Xiaoyuan liked very much.
