Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A mature 36-year-old man had experienced too many things and was too mysterious. Xiang Xiaoyuan could feel that he liked her very much, but there seed to be sothing missing. She was like an “attraction” in his life journey. After appreciating it, he would pat his sleeves and move on.
He was trying to control the progress of their relationship. He wanted to decide when to establish the relationship, when to proceed with the next step, and even when to break up. How could Xiang Xiaoyuan bear this?
She could control her own life, so she also wanted to control her relationship. The difference between the two of them gradually widened. They had never argued before. This was probably the rationality of an adult. They would not be hysterical over love. Since they were on different paths, then they should part ways.
The feeling that Lu Wanggui gave Xiang Xiaoyuan was very similar to that doctor. It was even more so.
Occasionally, she felt that her current life was not bad and she could continue living like this. However, there was always a voice in her heart reminding her that the position of Mrs. Lu was not suitable for her.
Therefore, no matter what Lu Wanggui thought, whether he wanted to get a divorce or not in the future, she had to work hard to earn money and grow her wings. Perhaps when she was financially stable, she would take the initiative to ask Lu Wanggui for a divorce. Then, she would start her own life.
In the tense atmosphere, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s eyes were dreamy. How could Lu Wanggui, who had extraordinary observational skills, not notice it? Recently, she had been enthusiastic and lively. Her eyes were sparkling, and people could not help but wonder what she was thinking.
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and it seed that there might be an accidental shot of love.
At this mont, Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly sat up straight, and the distance between the two was instantly restored. She smiled and said, “My convenience store is about to open. Don’t forget to send a flower basket. Wish a prosperous business.”
Lu Wanggui paused. He retracted his gaze and slowly wiped his glasses. The golden glasses were once again placed on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes were as gentle as ever. “How much do you want?”
Xiang Xiaoyuan thought about it seriously. “As long as you don’t turn my convenience store into a flower shop.”
“Okay.” Lu Wanggui nodded. “I’ll tell Assistant Gao.”
His temper was too good. Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and replied, “Then I’ll thank you in advance.”
She knew few people who would send a flower basket for a shop opening. There was almost no one who would do that. At this mont, she could only ask Lu Wanggui to make up the numbers.
“Why did you choose to open a convenience store?” Lu Wanggui’s tone was calm, as if the two of them had nothing to do and sat down to chat.
Xiang Xiaoyuan blinked. “Because it’s convenient. When I ca here, I saw that there were no convenience stores around the neighborhood. This is clearly a necessity as it’s extrely inconvenient to do your shopping. It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I saw the business opportunity and took action.”
She had already explained this a few tis, and she even called Lu Wanggui to explain it. Why did he ask again?
Lu Wanggui looked at her quietly.
Xiang Xiaoyuan felt inexplicably stressed... Why did Lu Wanggui have such an expression? Did he not believe what she said? But there was no loophole in her words.
Could it be that it was too low-class for the rich and powerful’s wife to open a convenience store? Did he think that she would tarnish the Lu family’s image?
Xiang Xiaoyuan forced a smile. “Alright, I admit that my main reason was to make money, but I didn’t know what to do. I just happened to find sothing lacking in the neighborhood’s infrastructure, so I started preparing for the convenience store.”
The original owner was like her. They were both ordinary employees. What was the point of working so hard? Wasn’t it just to earn money? Who wouldn’t want to save so money to open a small shop and be the boss themselves?
What Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t know was that every ti she talked about earning money, her eyes would shine.
She knew the importance of money when she was in school. When she fell in love with soone in high school and things didn’t work out, she could only sit by the flower bed at night and quietly digest her feelings. Later, when she went to university, she earned so money and had a small savings. When she had a break up again, she could go to the mall and buy as much as she wanted. Or she could book a plane ticket and go on a trip abroad. She could enjoy the sea breeze on the island, drink fresh coconut milk... whatever heartbreak or sadness she felt had long been thrown to the back of her mind and completely forgotten.
Money was not omnipotent, but as long as you had money, you could solve more than 80 percent of the unhappiness in your life.
Therefore, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that she had to be married to money for the rest of her life.
Lu Wanggui was surprised by Xiang Xiaoyuan’s honesty. At the sa ti, he did not expect her to go through all this trouble for money.
After a pause, he nodded. “That’s good.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”
As her husband, shouldn’t he ask her if she was short of money and if she needed help? What’s wrong with his reaction?
