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

He hadn't paid any attention to Gu Zhi's participation in the Qi family patriarch's 80th birthday celebration because he was busy.

This caused Gu Zhi to suffer grievances that day.

He knew he was a bad husband.

But as people say, no matter how busy he is, he can still go home and have dinner with his wife in the evening.

At least most nights, he was actually able to go back and have dinner with Gu Zhi.

His work is very busy, but he's not so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat a meal every day.

Moreover, some tasks do not necessarily have to be completed at the company.

You can also take it home and deal with it.

He was used to handling all his work at the company, which is why he usually didn't get home until after 10 p.m. every night.

If I'm really too busy with work, then there's definitely no way to make it happen.

But sometimes, he probably uses being busy with work as an excuse, right?

Unconsciously, Lu Yanshen imagined Gu Zhi eating alone in the villa.

He started to feel a little uncomfortable.

Even when all the employees are off on weekends, he doesn't usually feel that the company is very quiet.

But today, sitting in his office, he finds the company eerily quiet.

He not only felt a little uncomfortable, but he also seemed a bit restless.

After a long pause, Lu Yanshen still felt that he should fulfill his responsibility in this regard.

He can't be so irresponsible.

So, half an hour later, Lu Yanshen went home with the work he hadn't finished that day, which he could take home to complete.

At the villa, Uncle Zhou was stunned to see his husband return with work.

Did their husband bring any work back to deal with?

no.

Don't we all leave early and come home late every day, handling things at the company before returning home?

Even when he's in his study, I've never heard him handling company matters.

I did see him take two days off each month to handle clan affairs.

However, things that happen in a company are very different from things that happen within a clan.

When Lu Yanshen returned and didn't see Gu Zhi, he assumed she was still with Lu Yanbai. He didn't think much of it and went to his study to handle the work he had brought back.

Uncle Zhou was still shocked when he saw the closed door to the study.

The next thing to do, of course, was to get the chefs to start preparing dinner for their husbands.

Around 6 p.m., Uncle Zhou knocked on the study door and said dinner was ready, asking Lu Yanshen when he would like to eat.

Lu Yanshen was still dealing with his work, not even looking up, but asked casually:

"Has Madam returned?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhou thought to himself, "Good heavens!"

He roughly understood why the gentleman had taken the work back.

So it was for the lady's sake!

Uncle Zhou hurriedly said, "No. Madam called back at two o'clock in the afternoon to say that she won't be coming home for dinner either."

Lu Yanshen paused in his act of signing the document.

Then, they continued signing.

Why?

Uncle Zhou even wanted to wipe away the cold sweat that hadn't even appeared on his forehead.

He was absolutely certain.

The gentleman returned only for his wife!

It was all so I could come back and have dinner with my wife!

"Madam didn't say why she didn't come back for dinner," Uncle Zhou said very carefully.

Lu Yanshen stopped processing the documents again.

The next second, he said in an extremely cold tone, "I understand. You can go down now. I'll be down in five minutes."

"Yes!" Uncle Zhou replied hastily.

After the study door closed again, Lu Yanshen signed a document in his hand before putting down his pen.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Zhi.

【Where are you?】

Gu Zhi was in the hospital room having dinner with her grandfather.

She hasn't left since she arrived at noon.

In the afternoon, she even did rehabilitation in her grandfather's hospital room.

Grandpa was very happy to see that she had recovered to this extent.

She was a little surprised to see that Lu Yanshen had sent her a WeChat message.

She didn't understand why Lu Yanshen was asking her where she was at this time.

Isn't he working at the company?

I probably won't get home until after 10 p.m. again.

Why would he reach out to her at this time? Is there something he needs?

Regardless of whether there was anything wrong, Gu Zhi replied immediately:

"I'm at the hospital, having dinner with my grandpa. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Lu Yanshen:

【fine.】

They are having dinner with their grandfather; that's filial piety.

If he misses out, so be it.

He'll try his best to be home every night from now on, so he won't miss out on spending time with me.

Gu Zhi felt that Lu Yanshen was acting strangely today. He suddenly asked her where she was, but then said that nothing was wrong.

But if they say it's gone, then it's gone.

Gu Zhi didn't hesitate at all and continued to have dinner with her grandfather.

After dinner, Gu Zhi chatted with her grandfather for a while, and around 7:40 p.m., she left the hospital and returned to the villa on the hillside.

It was already past eight o'clock when we got back to the villa.

Before she could even get out of the car, Uncle Zhou rushed up to her and said with utmost respect, "Madam, the master returned around four o'clock this afternoon and is in his study now."

Gu Zhi asked in surprise, "Why is he back so early today?"

Uncle Zhou couldn't say that Lu Yanshen had come back to have dinner with her.

After all, Lu Yanshen didn't say anything explicitly.

Zhou Bo could only say:

"I don't know, but it seems like he brought some work back to deal with. He went straight to his study as soon as he got back. I guess he brought back anything he couldn't finish at the company."

As Gu Zhi steered the wheelchair inside, she said, "I've heard you say that he never used to handle company matters in this villa."

Zhou Bo nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, this is the first time today!"

I hope your wife understands!

Gu Zhi was puzzled.

She suddenly remembered that during dinner, Lu Yanshen had asked her where she was, but then said she was fine.

Did he come back specifically to have dinner with her, only to find she wasn't home?

Otherwise, why would I have asked her where she was or what she was doing back then?

After waiting in the living room for two minutes, Gu Zhi took the elevator upstairs and knocked on the study door.

He then cheerfully said, "Lu Yanshen, I'm back."

In the study, Lu Yanshen, who was working, fell silent.

Why tell him when you're back?

However, he didn't seem to mind her telling him that.

He replied, "Yes. Is there something you need?"

The study door was pushed open.

But it wasn't completely pushed away.

Gu Zhi's little head peeked in.

Smiling:

"Let me ask you, you've been acting so strangely today. You brought work home to handle, and you texted me while I was having dinner. Did you come back specifically to have dinner with me?"

That's way too direct.

However, he had also seen her be more direct.

I've seen it more than once.

Lu Yanshen has actually gotten used to her saying whatever comes to mind.

But it was still a bit awkward.

They came back with all their might, only to find nothing there.

But she still admitted it: "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhi immediately beamed and said, "You don't actually like me, do you? You came all this way to have dinner with me!"

Lu Yanshen's expression was indescribable.

She really can say anything.

Gu Zhi almost burst out laughing:

"What's with that look? I was just kidding. So what's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly come back and want to have dinner with me?"
