I touched the child, trying to gain some strength from her. But she seemed to be asleep and didn't even kick me.
Lu Chen stayed where he was, sitting on the edge of the bed, as if I hadn't slept.
After a long while, Lu Chen turned on the lights again. I buried myself deep under the covers, pretending to be asleep.
"I know you're still awake. Let's get up and talk."
I ignored it.
"Mu Mu?" he cried again, as if he thought I had not slept.
I didn't move. "I don't want to talk to you," I said.
"There's no use sulking. Get up, I admit my wrongs to you."
"Apologizing is useless. I won't get up."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and then I felt him stand up. Just when I thought he was going out, I felt a hand lift the quilt from my face.
I moved back a little, trying to get away from him. Lu Chen held the back of my head, not allowing me to move.
"Pick a spot from me. You smelly." I covered my nose.
"I've already had a bath."
I stuck my head out and said, "It stinks after I've washed it. No matter how good the shower gel is, it will not be able to cleanse your sinful soul. " Then he quickly covered his nose.
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How is my soul sinful?"
I covered myself with my hands and looked at her with only two eyes. "You are evil. "If you're not guilty, why would you come home so late? Do you want to have a cold war with me? Who knows what you just washed, whether it's the smell of alcohol or the fragrance of perfume from other women."
After saying so much, Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief.
"I came home at this late hour for a reason. I've already explained it to you. How could I be cold with you? I think it's because you want to have a cold war with me. I'm too old to play with your kids. What I just washed was the smell of wine. There was not a single woman at the table. If you don't believe me, my clothes are still there, and if you don't believe me, you can smell them yourself.
I would have come back later, because they had other activities after dinner. I told them to let me go when I said I wanted to go home with you. Not only did you not get touched, you even got angry at me. "
In the end, Lu Chen softened his tone, as if he was asking for praise.
My heart was really moved when I suddenly felt that something was amiss.
"Don't change the focus. You came back late, so you came back late." "Don't think I'll forgive you if you say you'd come back later."
Lu Chen caught on to my words and asked, "Then how are you going to forgive me?"
"I won't forgive you. What you just said wasn't a reason at all. You clearly know that I don't want you to help Lu Yulin, but you still insist on going. And because he's back so late, I won't accept your explanation. "
Lu Chen pushed away the quilt in front of my eyes and looked me in the eye.
"You said that I caused trouble for no reason? I thought you were making a ruckus. "
How did she get the feeling of a Qiong Yao drama when they were arguing? I hid myself in my den. I didn't want to be in the middle of a row, so he took my expression as his.
"Good, good, good." Lu Chen's compromise was more like a perfunctory reply, "I was the one who caused all this ruckus. But what could I do? If I don't go, then in the second half of the year H City, or even the entire city's land bidding competition won't be a success. Tell me, if I don't go, how about I go? "
"Sure, it's not like you care about the beauty. You don't care if it has any projects or not."
"Mu Mu, the Beautiful Gather is one entity. It was very likely that a loss on one side would drag the entire group down, unless they abandoned that part of the business. Other than that, the company would not give up its real estate business. Do you really want to get all the employees out of work because the property went bankrupt? "
Lu Chen's face was full of seriousness as he tried to persuade me. I was almost fooled by him, but luckily, I was smart enough.
"Don't fool me. Now, the government and the United States were both asking for each other's help. What kind of mutually beneficial coexistence was this? If the city really goes bankrupt, there will be a lot of people out of work in the city, and the economy of H will also go backwards, so they definitely won't let the city go bankrupt. "
As if shocked by my words, Lu Chen's jaw slightly dropped, unable to utter a word.
I stared at him. "Am I wrong?"
"You are right. It's just that your change from a foolish Mu Mu to a clever Mu is really too sudden, I can't quite accept it. "
Was I that stupid before? I can always see through these things, okay?
"Don't change the topic, it's useless to say anything good."
Lu Chen wiped his face, feeling extremely helpless, "Mu Mu Mu, what happened has already happened. You refused to accept it, so no matter how I explain it, it's useless. Why don't you tell me what I'll do in the future so that you won't be angry? "
I rolled my eyes, "You're not allowed to help Lu Yulin with the wine in the future. Don't think about your own stomach. And don't try to sleep in the other room without telling me you'll be back so late. If you did go today, do you know what I would think of you? "
"I was afraid of smoking you and your child, wasn't I?"
"You admit that you smell of wine, don't you? If you're really afraid of being smothered, you shouldn't be drinking. "
"I was wrong. I agreed to everything you said. Is there anything else?"
"And ?"
Lu Chen asked in disbelief, "There's more?"
I reached out my hand to viciously pinch his face. "And you go to bed."
After Lu Chen laid down on the bed and turned off the lights, the world returned to darkness. I nestled in his arms and asked, "Since everyone has gone to play, do you think it would be shameful for you to come back and accompany your wife?"
Isn't that what men are like? I feel ashamed to be home with my wife.
"What are you talking about? I don't even want to eat, let alone play. I don't want to go at all. I just want to go home to my wife. However, you can't be too overbearing, and affect my status in the family. "
"What a joke, you actually think that you have status in this family?"
"Who says I have no status? Your boss, our little girl, number two, my number three, also has no status." Mu Mu, hurry up and give birth to this baby. After that, we'll have a son. "
"Are you talking nonsense from drinking wine? Did I give birth as soon as I wanted to?"
Deep into the night, I fell asleep in his embrace.
I slept until dawn, but I didn't want to wake up at all.
