The two had only been apart for two or three days, yet it felt like an eternity.

Lu Luozhi stared intently at the pale and haggard man before her.

He looked sickly, and his lips were so dry and cracked, like parched earth, covered in dead skin.

She looked at him, and he looked at her.

There was an unusual accusation and resentment in his eyes.

He seemed to be blaming himself for abandoning him.

Why are you avoiding him? Why aren't you answering his calls? Why aren't you replying to his messages? Why? Why?

Her arrival brought a moment of tranquility to the ward.

In Madam Ying's eyes, she was an intruder who shouldn't have been there.

She glared at her, because from the moment she walked in, her eldest grandson had only ever seen her.

Li Wan looked at her in surprise as she suddenly barged in.

Isn't this woman Ying Yuchuan's secretary? How come she...?

She also noticed that the way the Ying family members were looking at her was different, especially Ying Yuchuan's, who looked at her as if she were his beloved woman. She had never seen such an emotion in his eyes before.

Suddenly, an idea flashed into her mind.

Could this be Ying Yuchuan's wife?

And didn't she just say she wanted to divorce Ying Yuchuan or something?

The more I think about it, the less I can believe it.

Ying Yuchuan actually married the woman who was his secretary?

Ying Yuchuan could no longer resist the longing in his heart and stepped towards her.

He wanted to hold her tightly in his arms and threaten her that if she dared to mention divorce again, he would make her "get what's coming to her"!

But to everyone's surprise, Madam Ying's steps were even faster than his.

She strode forward, raising her hand as if to slap Lu Luozhi across the face, in order to demonstrate her authority in the Ying family.

Upon realizing her intentions, Grandpa Ying and Ying Huayu cried out in alarm and rushed forward to stop her.

Lu Luozhi wasn't someone who would just stand there and wait to be bullied.

Without blinking, she reached out and blocked the hand that was about to strike Old Madam Ying's cheek.

She grabbed her wrist tightly. "Madam, it's been a while, but your temper is still just as annoying."

After speaking, she expressionlessly flicked her hand away.

The old lady was caught off guard and staggered back a few steps. Fortunately, the old master caught her from behind and prevented her from falling.

The old lady was so angry that she was speechless.

"You've rebelled! You brat, you've rebelled! You even want to..."

"If you want to hit me, am I not allowed to fight back?"

Lu Luozhi said impatiently, "What kind of stupid person in the world would stand here and let you hit them? Madam, can you stop treating people like fools?"

Old Madam Ying yelled at her, "Divorce! You divorce Ying Yuchuan right now!"

"Okay, I'll divorce him. I'll divorce him immediately if he goes."

Lu Luozhi smiled indifferently.

But her smile angered Ying Yuchuan. "Lu Luozhi, don't say things I don't want to hear!"

"And Grandma, please show me some respect!"

He turned to Madam Ying and said in a deep voice, "My marital status is none of your concern."

"But Ying Yuchuan, your white moonlight is right here, have you forgotten?"

Lu Luozhi strode forward, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him in front of Li Wan, giving Li Wan a bright smile.

"Surprise! You didn't expect me to be Ying Yuchuan's mysterious wife, did you, Miss Li? Surprised? Unexpected?"

"You asked me the other day why I hit you. Well, I'll tell you now, it's because I'm Ying Yuchuan's legally married wife. Are you satisfied with that answer?"

Li Wan looked at her from the left, then at Ying Yuchuan, whose face was dark and gloomy. She wanted to keep up the act, but Ying Yuchuan's gaze made her scalp tingle.

Ying Yuchuan grabbed her arm tightly. "Why did you appear in my room that day? What did you say to her?"

His tone was furious, as if he wanted to tear her apart alive.

He grabbed her and dragged her in front of Lu Luozhi, ordering her, "Explain yourself to me right now."

He then turned to Lu Luozhi and explained quickly, "It's not what you think. Let me explain. I didn't know you were coming that day, so I took my medicine early..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Luozhi's gaze made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

"You're not allowed to say anything, I don't want to hear it!"

He refused to listen to what she was about to say, his tone harsh.

The dignified young master of the Ying family, the future heir, and the group president, was actually afraid of what she was about to say.

Yes, he admitted that he became timid in front of her and wanted to run away.
