"Let's go." Lu Yudong pulled Jiang Ci's hand, and the two of them got into the car.

Chu Shuo stood there in a daze. Jiang Ci got married?

He sent a WeChat message to Jiang Yi: "Your sister got married?"

*

In Lu Yudong's car.

"Why haven't you told him yet?" Lu Yudong questioned Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci could only clutch her bag tightly. It was all her fault, she really shot herself in the foot.

"I just didn't feel comfortable." Jiang Ci lowered her head. It seemed it was time to explain the "fake boyfriend" situation.

"What's so embarrassing about getting married? Or are you afraid of cutting off his ambiguous path with you?" Lu Yudong said sarcastically.

"No, it's not like that..."

"Isn't he supposed to be interning? How come he's accompanying you to class?" Lu Yudong asked again.

Today, Lu Yudong maintained a cold tone that sent chills down one's spine.

"He's a teacher at the training class, teaching me economic law."

"So every time you go to the training, it's to have a rendezvous with him?"

"No, listen to me explain..."

"In any case, you're not allowed to go to the training class anymore!" Lu Yudong sternly ordered.

Jiang Ci was anxious upon hearing this.

"I paid eighteen thousand for this guaranteed pass class. They won't refund the money." Jiang Ci said stubbornly.

"You're not going!" Lu Yudong said coldly, "I'll give you one hundred eighty thousand. You're not going! If you dare go, I'll break your leg!"

Jiang Ci knew that struggling was futile, and the more she resisted, the more severely he would suppress her. So she leaned back on the car's back seat in a huff and closed her eyes to rest.

The car stopped at the Mid-Levels Villa, and Lu Yudong took out his phone and transferred one hundred eighty thousand to Jiang Ci.

He transferred it directly into her account.

Jiang Ci, still upset, took her backpack and left.

She didn't even have dinner and went to bed early.

"What's wrong with Little Ci?" Grandpa was very concerned about Jiang Ci, "Not having dinner?"

"She's sulking upstairs!"

Grandpa laughed heartily, "Even if she's sulking, you should let her be. After all, you're much older than her."

Lu Yudong didn't respond.

When he went upstairs, Jiang Ci was lying in bed with the blanket over her head.

Lu Yudong yanked the blanket off her.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Ci said angrily, squinting her eyes as they adjusted to the sudden light.

"Being stubborn won't change anything. You'd better accept it." Lu Yudong said coldly.

Jiang Ci huffed, turned her back to him, and ignored him.

It seemed she'd need to find another way to attend the training class.

It wasn't that Jiang Ci was particularly attached to the training class, but because there was nothing between her and Chu Shuo, wasting eighteen thousand was painful for her.

Jiang Ci didn't sleep well last night, and when she woke up in the morning, Lu Yudong was just standing by the bed getting dressed.

Jiang Ci got up, picked up Lu Yudong's shirt, and helped him put it on.

Lu Yudong frowned slightly, unsure of what Jiang Ci was thinking, but her demeanor was gentle, like a model wife and mother.

"Chu Shuo isn't actually my boyfriend; I lied to you before." Jiang Ci slipped a sleeve onto Lu Yudong, her fingers brushing against his chest, the warmth and touch bringing a comforting feeling to Lu Yudong.

"So, is there any truth in what you say?" Lu Yudong looked down at her.

Though it was a reprimand, there was a hint of softness in his tone.

Jiang Ci sensed his softening and felt encouraged, "When you asked me to marry you before, I didn't want to, so I randomly made up a boyfriend as an excuse. It just so happened that he added me on WeChat, and I didn't accept. When you asked for my boyfriend's name, I just said his name. I didn't expect there to actually be such a person, who turned out to be my brother's boss's son, a teacher at the training class. My brother wanted to introduce him to me, so he added me on WeChat."

"You better be telling the truth!"

"Of course, I'm telling the truth." Jiang Ci said as she buttoned his shirt, her innocent big eyes looking at him earnestly.

"Are you trying to fool me?"

"Is the great President Lu so easily fooled? You have intelligence and brains, who could possibly fool you?" Jiang Ci said with a tone of complaint.

"He relentlessly pursues you, and you play hard to get. Maybe not now, but who knows in the future." Although Lu Yudong's tone was softer, there was still a hint of displeasure.

"I'm not that kind of person. Besides, I already have a husband. If I dared to cuckold my husband, he'd definitely break my leg." Jiang Ci moved closer to Lu Yudong's chest.

Lu Yudong said nothing and was about to leave.

"Husband, just let me attend this training class. There's nothing between me and Chu Shuo. That day, it was my brother's scheme, and nothing happened between us." Jiang Ci called out to Lu Yudong.

"We'll talk about it later!"

"Husband, our money is family money, just moving from one pocket to another. But the money paid to the training class truly goes into someone else's pocket, and it pains me." Jiang Ci persisted.

Sure enough, Lu Yudong's anger subsided, "Let me know when you go to class, and have Aunt Fang accompany you each time!"

"Thank you, husband."

Jiang Ci was overjoyed and even mustered the courage to give Lu Yudong a peck on the cheek.

She thought this would anger Lu Yudong, but he merely glanced at her and said nothing, seemingly quite pleased.

Through this, Jiang Ci learned Lu Yudong's soft spot; as long as she didn't oppose him and praised him, everything would be fine.
