The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

Fortunately, this can be explained.

Lu Yanshen composed himself before speaking:

"When I was having dinner with Yan Jue in Yuncheng before, I heard Yan Jue say that you don't like working at all and wish you could have a vacation every day of the year."

"But sometimes research requires you to take the helm, and even if you don't want to, you'll definitely have to work sometimes."

After a pause, Lu Yanshen continued, but his voice was much lower:

"I don't like it when you do something you don't want to do."

"I... I think you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to do whatever you don't want."

He paused again:

"Our family has the means to let you do whatever you want, and do whatever you don't want to do."

He paused again:

"Don't wrong yourself."

The thought of the kind of life she had as a child made him even more unable to bear the thought of her suffering even the slightest grievance or doing anything she didn't like.

I simply can't stand it.

Gu Zhi's heart softened completely upon hearing this.

She moved a little closer to him.

Hug him around the neck and kiss him.

She smiled softly and said:

"Didn't I tell you before that I would never wrong myself? Have you forgotten?"

Lu Yanshen showed no outward signs of distress, but inwardly he was extremely upset.

Isn't it because she suffered so much hardship and injustice in the past that she never wrongs herself?

In the end, he still hugged her.

She added softly, "Anyway, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to do whatever you don't want to do."

"Of course!" Gu Zhi replied immediately, her tone extremely light. "I've always been like this, there's no reason why I shouldn't be doing worse now that I have such a capable husband."

Lu Yanshen felt much better and gave a soft "hmm".

Gu Zhi then asked:

"You called me 'baby' by accident at the card table, but why did you call me that at dinner too?"

"Didn't you say that it probably wouldn't work at other times, but you would only call me 'baby' when it's just the two of us in private?"

She mistakenly thought he had called her "baby" accidentally at the card table.

Lu Yanshen breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have had a convincing fake reason to convince her.

He lied and said, "After I called it out, I felt it wasn't so bad, and they all knew about it."

"So you're just going to call me that? Regardless of whether it's in private or not?" Gu Zhi's eyes lit up.

Lu Yanshen felt a little embarrassed by her intense gaze.

Her ear tips turned slightly red, but she nodded and said, "Mm."

"Haha, that's what I was thinking too. I think you should just call me that. So, will you call me that from now on, whether in private or in front of others?"

Her eyes sparkled even brighter.

Lu Yanshen felt more at ease and thought he had gotten away with it.

But she made him even more embarrassed by her stare.

They stammered, "W-Is it okay?"

Gu Zhi thought Lu Yanshen was incredibly cute like this.

Say it immediately:

"Of course! I'd love to!"

"But I know you're shy, so when you said you could only call me 'baby' in private, I didn't insist that you call me 'baby' in front of others!"

Lu Yanshen hugged her even tighter.

My heart aches again.

Despite what she's been through, she can still be so warm-hearted.

Always thinking of others.

Back in the room, after taking a shower, Gu Zhi was fast asleep in Lu Yanshen's arms, while Lu Yanshen hadn't even closed his eyes to sleep yet.

He stood there, under the moonlight, his eyes lowered.

He was still looking at Gu Zhi's fair and tender face, and her sweet sleeping face.

When Gu Zhi was awake, he dared not show any heartache.

He was afraid that Gu Zhi would notice something was wrong.

But at this moment, his eyes were filled with heartache for Gu Zhi.

He had wondered how her delicate and pampered upbringing in the countryside could have raised her so well.

Judging from her personality, he felt at the time that she didn't seem like someone who could be raised in a rural family.

Now he understands everything.

No one else raised her to be this way; she raised herself to be this way.

Lu Yanshen couldn't help but gently kiss Gu Zhi's forehead with heartache.

A heartbroken murmur:

"Our baby has taken very good care of himself over the years."

……

The next day, Lu Yanshen didn't go to work at the group until 8:30.

Gu Zhi and Lu Yanbai didn't leave until nine o'clock to meet Jiang Nian at the entrance of the horse farm.

They didn't let Jiang Nian come to the villa on the hillside to meet them.

After meeting, the three of them went into the horse farm.

Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian had been to horse farms before and knew how to ride horses, but not to this particular horse farm.

This horse farm is much more upscale.

The three changed into riding clothes, then went to choose horses and galloped off.

The three men competed to see whose horse could run the fastest and showed off their skills.

Gu Zhi is still the most powerful.

But this time Jiang Nian came in last place.

After all, even if Jiang Nian knows how to ride a horse, she doesn't ride it often.

Unlike Lu Yanbai, who loved to play since childhood and often rode horses, even though he was not yet eighteen, he rode better than Jiang Nian.

Lu Yanbai was overjoyed and shouted from his horse, "I'm finally not at the bottom anymore!"

Actually, he was never at the bottom in the outside world.

He ranked last in the exam because he never studied.

The reason he felt he was a good-for-nothing was because he was compared to other members of his family.

Especially compared to his three older brothers.

Jiang Nian didn't care about these things.

It's just for entertainment, so if it's at the bottom, it's at the bottom.

Even compared to others, she never felt that she was better.

Because she was always very ordinary—her grades were average, and she went to an ordinary university.

She only has a very special best friend who has enabled her to live a life of comfort and ease, without having to work a typical 9-to-5 job like everyone else.

One of the reasons she felt no man would treat her the same way before and after marriage, and why she hadn't agreed to be with Yan Jue, was that she felt no man would treat her the same way before and after marriage.

She felt she was very ordinary.

She lacks self-confidence.

She knows exactly what her problems are.

But there was nothing she could do; after all, she lacked something that gave her confidence and a sense of security.

After riding another lap, Gu Zhi and the others finally rested.

It was hot, but even with air conditioning indoors, it wasn't hot at all, and Gu Zhi and the others were drinking iced drinks.

Gu Zhi only took two sips of her iced drink before putting it down.

I took the fruit platter, ate the chilled fruit, and lay back on the deck chair playing on my phone.

Seeing that Lu Yanshen had sent her a message, she quickly replied.

Hearing that she was drinking and eating iced drinks, Lu Yanshen was a little worried that eating too much iced food might cause health problems.

Gu Zhi hurriedly said that she hadn't eaten or drunk much iced.

Lu Yanshen was relieved.

Jiang Nian and Lu Yanbai were also lying on their recliners, eating chilled fruit and playing on their phones.

While Gu Zhi and the others were resting in the lounge, eating, and playing on their phones, Shen Lifeng drove a car worth over 100,000 yuan to bring Shen Yuyao to the horse farm.

Shen Yuyao suddenly wanted to go to the horse farm.

She said that ever since the Shen family completely collapsed, she hasn't had a proper chance to have fun.

Now that I'm the mistress, of course I can take the sugar daddy's money, have fun, and enjoy myself.
