C5 Common Pillow

Soong Jin ate another midnight snack downstairs. The taste was much better than it was years ago. Satisfied, she went back upstairs.

Lu Nancheng leaned on the sofa in the room, raised his hand and pointed at the bank card on the table when he saw her enter, "1 million yuan a month for pocket money."

One million yuan a month, and ten million yuan a year. Soong Jin instantly felt that Lu Nancheng was rather generous to her, trotting to stand in front of him and smile, but did not know that this little money was nothing at all in Lu Family.

"Thank you. I won't spend money carelessly."

Lu Nancheng's mouth twitched as he felt that she misunderstood something, but he did not explain.

Soong Jin smiled as she held the card, "Don't worry, I will try my best to be a qualified Mrs. Lu and slowly grow old with you."

Lu Nancheng's face instantly darkened. His eyes were deep as he thought about why she married him. Was it really because of the marriage contract?

Soong Jin happily ignored him and went back into her blanket. She continued to look at the Peppa Pig with her laptop in her hand and chuckled. Lu Nancheng leaned on the headboard after washing up and occasionally cast a glance.

At midnight, he turned off the lamp by his side and prepared to sleep, while the Peppa Pig beside him continued to play. With a dark expression, he pulled over the blanket and lay down.

When Soong Jin saw that he was sleeping, she closed the video and slipped into the blanket.

The lights in the room were turned off. She leaned on her side and didn't sleep. Today was the first day she and Lu Nancheng became husband and wife, so she subconsciously wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.

Years ago, she hadn't even kissed a man, let alone shared a bed with him. The man beside her felt warm, even from a distance. Soong Jin moved closer to the bed.

Lu Nancheng, who was in the dark, smiled evilly, and purposely turned around to get closer.

Soong Jin could feel the warmth, so she quickly moved away.

Lu Nancheng continued to get closer until he forced her onto the bed in a sorry state. If he moved again, he would fall down.

Realizing that he was doing it on purpose, Soong Jin quickly lifted the quilt and climbed over him. After a minute, she lay down on the occupied area and pretended to snore.

… ….

Lu Nancheng woke up with a headache early in the morning. There was an extra person beside him who didn't sleep well last night, and in the latter half of the night, someone kicked him twice as if it was revenge.

Soong Jin ignored his dark face. He had just left for work, so he followed her out the door.

Twenty years ago, the "Gourmet Universal" store in the Gourmet Kingdom was spread throughout the country, and my father had relied on the Gourmet Company to become one of the influential people in the Imperial City.

Ever since she was taken over by Su Yirou, her Imperial City had slowly declined. Currently, there were less than ten stores left, and the doorways were even more deserted. Looking at the familiar signboard above her head, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.

There were no longer any signature dishes on the menu. It looked more like a hodgepodge. The more dishes mixed together, the more there were, and the more there were, the more it lost its special characteristics.

Soong Jin asked for a private room and ordered a table full of dishes. The side dishes had been modified and no longer tasted the same. She left in disappointment.

The development of Imperial City had been around for so many years that there were many tall buildings and carriages everywhere. Soong Jin aimlessly wore a mask as she strolled along the road, and whenever she saw something delicious, she would go take a look and adapt to the current society.

Seeing a toy store with a row of Peppa Pig, she happily swiped her card and bought four of them to carry in her arms.

Lu Nancheng, who was sitting in his office, received a message from the bank on his phone. After he finished reading it with a dark expression, he pressed the intercom and said, "Come in."

Hsiao Yi quickly pushed the door open and respectfully stood in front of him.

"What did Madame do today?"

"First, we'll go to the Gourmet Universal for lunch, then we'll stroll around and buy things."

"Didn't meet anyone?"

"Nope."

Lu Nancheng lowered his eyes and pondered.

Hsiao Yi wasn't sure about the situation, "Do we need to follow them?"

"Continue."

When Soong Jin came out of the computer city, she noticed that someone was following her.

There were so many coincidences in the world. She stopped and looked back and saw the man in the peaked cap every time.

She suspected that Su Yirou had found out? and she thought it was unlikely, because she had no reason to doubt herself yesterday afternoon,

Then there was only one possibility left, Lu Nancheng.

She continued on, pretending not to know, until late in the afternoon, when she took a cab back.

The newly bought computer was sent over and assembled in Lu Nancheng's study room. She immediately went online to check the data.

It was still dark outside and Lu Nancheng still hadn't come back yet. She went downstairs to eat dinner and continued checking the information after she came back. She had slept for more than 20 years and missed too many developments in the society, so she had to get used to it earlier.

It was already late at night when Lu Nancheng came back. He went upstairs reeking of alcohol. When he opened the door, it was pitch-black. He turned around and asked the servant in a low voice: "Where's the lady?"

The little maid, who had just arrived at Lu Family, replied while trembling in fear, "Madam is in the study room. She hasn't come out since entering the room at night."

Lu Nancheng walked over impatiently with his tie loosened. The door was ajar, and the light from the inside spilled out along with the sound of the game.

Soong Jin squatted on the chair and stared at the computer screen attentively. Lu Nancheng looked at the extra laptop in his study and then looked at the snacks and bags on the table.

Soong Jin suddenly saw him. Pausing the game, she looked at him with a face full of concern. Her intelligent eyes blinked like feathers as she gently caressed her chest. "Lu Nancheng, did you eat this late at night?"

The woman's voice was sweet. Although it was a brainless sentence, it inexplicably poked the man's burning heart. His chest, which was full of air, suddenly calmed down. Even Lu Nancheng himself was surprised.

"You're not playing games so late at night?"

"Waiting for your return."
