On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Hearing Lu Chuan's words.

Liu Ruyan was stunned.

She had worked so hard to get to her current position, so of course she was unwilling to give it up.

So she finally stammered,

"husband……"

"this……"

"This is so sudden."

"And what about our mortgage if I quit? What about your salary...?"

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

You earn so little, if I quit my job, will we starve?

Lu Chuan smiled upon hearing this.

It was somewhat ironic, yet also somewhat reassuring.

Knew it.

This is Liu Ruyan.

On her scales, Lu Chuan was never the most important factor.

"Look."

Lu Chuan shrugged.

"I gave you a chance, but you couldn't do it."

"This is not about money at all, Liu Ruyan."

"It's because you can't bear to part with that glamorous identity, and you can't bear to part with that circle."

"If you can't bear to part with it, then don't spout nonsense like 'I'd give up everything for you.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan forcefully pulled his sleeve back.

This time.

He used some force.

Liu Ruyan stumbled and almost fell.

"Lu Chuan!"

Seeing Lu Chuan turn to leave, Liu Ruyan panicked completely.

She had a premonition that if Lu Chuan left this time, she might really lose him forever.

"I won't resign, but I can apply for a transfer. I can transfer to another department, but I won't see Su Yan!"

"Please, don't go!"

Don't leave me!

Liu Ruyan rushed forward, crying, and hugged Lu Chuan tightly from behind.

She pressed her face tightly against Lu Chuan's back.

In an instant, tears quickly soaked Lu Chuan's clothes.

"Honey, I really can't live without you..."

"My parents are still waiting at home..."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will you come home with me for dinner?"

"My dad called today to ask how I was doing, saying he hadn't seen me in a long time and made your favorite braised pork ribs..."

"If you don't go back, they'll definitely get suspicious."

"My dad has a heart condition and can't handle any stress..."

Liu Ruyan spoke incoherently, bringing up her parents.

This is her last trump card.

Lu Chuan's body stiffened for a moment.

He stopped and let Liu Ruyan hug him without saying a word.

Lu Chuan still had feelings for Liu Ruyan's parents.

He and Liu Ruyan were in love for 7 years.

We've been together since our student days.

Although Liu Ruyan's parents were somewhat resistant to him during his school days, their attitude completely changed after he graduated, and they treated him like their own son.

In particular, his father-in-law would always drag him to drink every time he visited.

In addition, because he himself was an orphan, Lu Chuan cherished it all the more.

If they find out.

Are they divorced now?

Moreover, if they divorce because of such a shameful affair, they'll probably be so angry they'll suffer a terrible fate.

Lu Chuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He was weighing his options.

After a long silence, Lu Chuan finally spoke, his voice filled with deep weariness.

"it is good."

(PS: Lu Chuan agreed to the meal because it relates to a later plot development, which will also be a satisfying moment; it's not because he went back to an old flame.)

(Also... one of the main characters in this book is the sister-in-law, Liu Fuyao.)

(So ​​I can't sever ties with my father-in-law's family, I hope you understand. My father-in-law and mother-in-law will not disappoint you, they definitely have sound values.)

Upon hearing this word.

Liu Ruyan trembled, her eyes flashing with wild joy.

"Honey, you said yes?"

"That's great, that's great!"

"Don't be too happy yet."

Lu Chuan coldly interrupted her.

"I agreed to go to dinner so that my parents wouldn't worry, but after this meal..."

Lu Chuan turned around and slowly pried Liu Ruyan's hands apart, his voice growing even colder.

"After this meal, we're even."

"You go your way, I'll go mine."

"Stop bothering me and stop using anyone to pressure me."

"This is the last time."

Liu Ruyan's smile froze.

Looking into Lu Chuan's resolute eyes, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

the last time?

Both sides cleared up?

"no I do not……"

Liu Ruyan shook her head frantically, her heart aching terribly.

"You don't have to agree."

Lu Chuan said expressionlessly,

"No, I'm leaving now."

"Tomorrow I will tell them everything about you in front of your parents."

"Don't!"

Liu Ruyan turned deathly pale with fright.

"I agree."

"I agree!"

She didn't dare to gamble.

The Lu Chuan she knew now was so unfamiliar that it frightened her.

"Then it's settled."

Lu Chuan nodded.

"I'll be there on time tomorrow night."

Having said that, he showed no further hesitation and strode into the night.

Liu Ruyan stood under the streetlight, watching Lu Chuan's figure grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared around the corner.

A night breeze blew by, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Even though it was summer, she felt cold to the bone.

"husband……"

Unable to hold back any longer, Liu Ruyan squatted down again, hugged her knees, and burst into tears.

……

It was 3 a.m. when I got home.

The room was quiet.

After changing my shoes.

Lu Chuan did not go to wash up immediately, but went straight to the guest room.

Inside the insulated box in the guest room.

The little monkey was curled up in a ball, fast asleep.

"Little one, sleeping soundly."

He couldn't resist reaching out and gently poking the little monkey's head.

Seemingly sensing a familiar presence, the little monkey, who had been fast asleep, groggily opened its eyes. Upon seeing Lu Chuan, it immediately perked up.

After making two "squeak" sounds.

She stretched out her little paws and grabbed Lu Chuan's fingers, refusing to let go.

Lu Chuan smiled.

With his other hand resting on the edge of the incubator, he slowly circulated his internal energy.

A gentle, pure flow of true energy slowly entered the little monkey's body through his fingertips.

As the true energy was channeled into it, the little monkey comfortably squinted its eyes, and its body no longer curled up. Instead, it stretched out as if it were yawning, and even its golden fur seemed to become more lustrous.

Lu Chuan is now a four-star Grand Martial Master.

The internal energy had already liquefied, not only in large quantities but also in quality many times stronger than before.

After feeding for about two minutes, the little monkey was fully awake.

Current situation.

It's so much better than when I first got it a while ago.

Settle the baby monkey in.

Lu Chuan then quickly washed up and returned to the master bedroom.

But he still didn't sleep. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate the Reverse Blood and Remnant Life Technique.

Although the system directly rewarded him with sixty years of cultivation, allowing him to ascend to the rank of Grand Martial Master in one step.

But power is something...

Only by repeatedly practicing and refining it can one truly achieve mastery.

Silent all night.

……

The next morning.

Lu Chuan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Although he hadn't slept all night, he was unusually energetic, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

This is one of the advantages of a Grand Martial Master: their energy far exceeds that of ordinary people.

After a quick wash, he fried two eggs and heated a cup of milk in the kitchen. He finished his breakfast in a few bites and then picked up his car keys to leave for work.

No matter how high one's cultivation level is, life must go on.

Although the zoo job didn't pay much, he really enjoyed being with the animals; it was much easier than dealing with people.

"Click".

The lock turned, and Lu Chuan pushed open the door.

However, he froze as soon as he took one step.

A graceful, slender figure stood by the elevator entrance across the street.
