Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

"You...you're back?!"

The voice coming from the receiver suddenly rose eight octaves, with a slight tremor, but there was no panic.

It even exuded an irrepressible joy.

Yu Le raised an eyebrow.

This reaction is wrong.

According to the usual TV drama formula, shouldn't the female lead stammer and talk about other things at this point, and then a man's cough can be heard in the background?

Why does this woman sound so surprised?

"Yes, I'm back." Yu Le rolled her eyes at the air, her tone icy. "I came back specifically to catch you cheating. I'll give you ten minutes to hide this guy and make sure I don't see him."

"Pfft."

A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"You idiot," Liu Xiaoli scolded, her voice so soft it could melt your heart. "Stay home and wait, don't go anywhere. I'll be there in ten minutes!"

"beep--"

The phone hangs up.

Yu Le stared at his phone screen, a question mark slowly appearing on his forehead.

Ten minutes?

This woman was lying in ambush downstairs.

He walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked down.

The neighborhood was deserted, with only a few streetlights casting a dim yellow glow, and not even a stray cat in sight.

Yu Le threw his phone on the sofa and plopped down.

Row.

Then wait.

He wanted to see what was really going on behind the scenes.

……

Not long after.

The sound of hurried high heels came from outside the security door.

"Da da da da—"

"Click".

The key turns the lock cylinder.

The door was pushed open.

A gust of cold wind carrying the familiar scent of perfume wafted towards me.

Liu Xiaoli stood at the door.

She was wearing a beige cashmere coat, her scarf was crooked, a few strands of hair were messily stuck to her cheeks, and her chest was heaving violently, clearly indicating that she had run all the way up.

Those usually dignified and composed phoenix eyes were now surprisingly bright.

It looks like it's filled with stars.

Yu Le was about to say something sarcastic, "Are you running so fast because you're feeling guilty?"

The words hadn't even reached his lips yet.

A figure in off-white had already bumped into her arms.

The impact was so strong that it almost knocked him and the sofa over.

Followed by.

Two cool, soft lips blocked his mouth without any order.

There are no tricks.

It's all about emotions.

With a reckless, madness, it was as if he wanted to crush all the longing, worry, and unspoken words of the past few days into this kiss.

Yu Le paused for a second.

He put aside any doubts he had previously had.

He then took the initiative, holding the back of her head and deepening the kiss.

a long time.

Lip points.

Liu Xiaoli lay on his chest, panting heavily, her cheeks flushed, as beautiful as peach blossoms.

"Are you crazy?" Yu Le reached out to tidy her messy hair, teasingly saying, "Playing sneak attack so early in the morning, are you trying to murder your husband?"

Liu Xiaoli looked up, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him.

"You're really back."

She reached out and pinched Yu Le's cheek, as if to confirm whether she was dreaming.

"For me?"

"Otherwise what?" Yu Le slapped her hand away impatiently. "Just to come back and breathe in some of Beijing's smog? Or just to help the security guard in our neighborhood meet his sales targets?"

Liu Xiaoli smiled.

He laughed so hard his body trembled, his eyes and brows brimming with smugness.

"At least you have a conscience."

She wriggled out of Yu Le's arms, took his hand, and walked outside.

"Walk."

"Where are we going?" Yu Le stumbled as she was pulled along. "Big sister, SARS is raging outside. Are you trying to take me to die to prove our love, so we can both commit suicide?"

"Shut up."

Liu Xiaoli turned around and glared at him, but didn't stop walking.

"I'll take you to a nice place."

……

Ten minutes later.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of an upscale residential complex.

"Prosperous Garden".

The name sounds like something a nouveau riche would say, but in Beijing at that time, those four characters represented—noble.

Expensive beyond belief.

Yu Le stood at the entrance of the residential area, looking at the two Roman columns and the security guard standing straight at the entrance, whose upright demeanor was still evident even with a mask on.

"Teacher Liu."

Yu Le turned to look at the woman beside him, "You didn't kidnap some coal mine owner, did you? It's easy for us to get in here, but it might be hard for us to get out."

Liu Xiaoli ignored his banter.

She took an access card out of her bag.

"drop."

The door opened with a click.

The security guard even saluted her.

Yu Le: "..."

The plot is getting more and more bizarre.

Could it be that this woman is really cheating on him...?

He followed Liu Xiaoli into the residential area, through the neatly manicured garden, and into the central, most prestigious building.

The elevator goes straight up to the sixteenth floor.

"bite."

The elevator doors opened.

One elevator per household.

Liu Xiaoli walked to the heavy mahogany door and entered the password.

"Click".

The door opened.

"Go in and take a look." She turned to the side and gestured for us to go in.

Yu Le glanced at her suspiciously, then stepped inside.

"Smack."

Liu Xiaoli pressed the switch.

The enormous crystal chandelier lit up instantly, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime.

Spacious.

It's too spacious.

Judging by appearances, it's at least 150 square meters.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the dazzling night view of Beijing, and even the distant CBD.

Yu Le walked around the room.

The lighting, the layout, the location.

Absolutely.

"How is it?" Liu Xiaoli's voice came from behind.

"Not bad." Yu Le nodded and walked to the French windows. "Suitable for burglary. Are we breaking and entering? When will the homeowner be back? I need to be ready to make a run for it."

"Why are you running?"

Liu Xiaoli walked up to him and patted a red notebook on his chest.

"Take it."

Yu Le lowered his head.

Property Ownership Certificate.

He opened it.

The first page.

Property owners: Yu Le, Liu Xiaoli.

Ownership status: Joint ownership.

Yu Le's finger paused on that name for two seconds.

Then he slammed the notebook shut.

"Liu Xiaoli".

He turned around, looked at the smiling woman in front of him, and his expression was serious.

"Tell me the truth."

"Did you rob a bank?"

"Or..." He looked her up and down, "...did you sell Sisi?"

Liu Xiaoli was so angry she laughed, and she reached out and pinched his arm.

"Sell you my foot!"

She leaned against the French windows, looking at the night view outside, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"We agreed before, I would take care of you and buy you a bigger house."

"It's not good to always have you living in the storage room."

"I was originally planning to rent a big house once I had a stable job."

"But who knew you were so capable, making so much money, and even starting a company for Xixi."

"I don't need to worry about Sisi's future career."

"I've taken on quite a few commercial performances and mentored students during this period... I've saved up a considerable amount of money."

She turned her head and looked at Yu Le.

"In addition..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to learn how to invest?"

"I thought that with SARS so rampant, everyone was fleeing the area, so housing prices were bound to drop. That's why I went to the sales office to take a look."

"And it actually happened to me."

"The original owner of this house was in a hurry to leave the country and was selling it at a 60% discount."

Liu Xiaoli took out a bunch of keys from her bag and twirled them on her fingers.

"I took out all the money I had set aside for Sisi's career, plus what I've earned recently, and paid for it in full."

"I don't feel at ease if only my name is written on the document."

"With you included, this is what a home is."

She put the key into Yu Le's hand.

The cool metallic touch made Yu Le's palms burn.
