After getting married, I could hear the thoughts and feelings of my wife's best friends.

"That is."

Su Xinyu replied, "I call this knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"Sigh... It's a pity, we've already gotten our marriage certificate. You should focus on your studies."

Su Xinyu said with a disdainful look: "What's the use of a marriage certificate? You two have no feelings for each other."

Lu Chen didn't want to waste time arguing with her, so he said, "Of course I have work to do this afternoon."

Chapter 12 Don't Try to Guess a Woman's Thoughts

"Work?"

Su Xinyu asked suspiciously, "You don't seem to have a job, do you? You're lying to me about this?"

If he had known she would say that, Lu Chen would have taken out his Xinglan Group work ID immediately.

"Here I am, I am a certified employee."

"Let me see."

Su Xinyu took the work permit and glanced at it: "Assistant? Brother, since you are a company employee, why are you only going to work in the afternoon?"

After taking the work permit from her and putting it back, Lu Chen replied, "I'm a special case; I'll be going this afternoon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Chen heard Su Xinyu's inner thoughts.

[Wait a minute, the information my aunt gave me says that Lu Chen hasn't found a job yet. What's going on?]

[Could it be that Gu Nanyin gave him special treatment? Hmm... If he says that, I'll believe him. Let's see how he answers.]

Having figured out the answer, Lu Chen immediately feigned some embarrassment and said, "Isn't Gu Nanyin the CEO? She gave me a sinecure..."

"I see."

Su Xinyu nodded: "Then... brother, you go ahead. Work is important, but you must come tomorrow."

Lu Chen replied, "Tomorrow you should focus on your studies and stop doing these things."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyu revealed a sly smile: "Hehe~ We'll talk about it later~"

Got it!

Lu Chen sighed helplessly, realizing that he had wasted his breath.

After leaving Su Xinyu's house, Lu Chen first reported the situation to Chen Man.

When Chen Man learned that she had achieved some success, she was overjoyed! She even gave Lu Chen a 200 yuan red envelope on the spot.

Lu Chen did not accept the money. Instead, he told Chen Man that this was just the beginning, and he would help Su Xinyu improve her grades steadily.

After chatting for a while, Su Mei called.

As soon as Lu Chen answered the call, the other party asked where he was.

Lu Chen replied, "I'm on this side of the river. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Su Mei asked in confusion, "What are you doing in the villa area? Never mind... I'll wait for you on Xinbai Street."

hang up the phone.

Lu Chen drove directly to Xinbai Street.

Twenty minutes later.

Lu Chen, who had just parked his car, saw Su Mei in front of a fashion store next to Xinbai Street.

The other person was wearing a black tight-fitting short T-shirt on top, loose white pants on the bottom, and a pair of white flat shoes.

Her hair was tied up, probably to keep warm, and she wore light makeup on her beautiful face.

As soon as she saw Lu Chen walking over, Su Mei smiled happily and took his arm.

[Damn... I should have told you to wear sunglasses. You're so eye-catching, so many women are staring. I have to assert my dominance!]

Lu Chen was puzzled. Was someone watching him? He really hadn't been paying attention.

Where shall we go for a stroll?

Su Mei replied, "Of course we should go eat first. Aren't you hungry?"

Lu Chen then realized that the two had originally agreed to meet in the afternoon, but ended up meeting at noon.

What?! Su Mei is too impatient. I wonder what Gu Nanyin is thinking? It's a pity he can't hear her thoughts from afar.

The two arrived at a restaurant, where a Couples' Day event was being held.

As soon as the shop assistant saw the two of them, he quickly came over to greet them.

"Congratulations to you two! You're our 100th couple to visit our restaurant. Go in and order now to enjoy a 30% discount!"

Lu Chen just chuckled at this; it was an old trick, and no matter who came, it was always the hundredth couple…

Su Mei seemed very happy and immediately tried to pull Lu Chen inside.

But then the clerk stood in front of the two of them, a little embarrassed, and said, "In order to prevent internet celebrities from coming in groups to freeload, we need you two to prove that you are a real couple."

OK...

Lu Chen was completely speechless.

The most direct way to prove you're a couple is by kissing.

He glanced at Su Mei, initially thinking this was part of her plan, but he didn't hear her true feelings.

"husband…"

In front of everyone, Su Mei directly called Lu Chen "husband".

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, recalling what Gu Nanyin had said.

After quickly glancing around to make sure no one was taking pictures, he hugged Su Mei and lowered his head...

Lu Chen had only intended to give her a quick kiss, but Su Mei ended up kissing him passionately.

The other person seemed to have been longing to do this for a long time, and with her arms around Lu Chen's neck, she didn't want to stop.

Soon, even the shop assistants couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Alright, alright, you two are indeed a couple, please come in."

Upon hearing this...

Su Mei stopped, but she looked at Lu Chen with some suspicion, as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chen immediately opened his heart.

[Strange, why does his breath smell so good? Like jasmine?]

[Why would a grown man like him use jasmine flowers? This guy... he's not being honest.]

I go?

Lu Chen was truly stunned.

How did she sense it and even taste the jasmine fragrance?

When he kissed Su Xinyu, he only noticed the pleasant smell from her breath and didn't think about anything else.

Seeing Su Mei's increasingly strange gaze, Lu Chen decided to play it by ear and wait for her to ask before speaking.

Led by the waiter, the two sat down in a corner at the back.

After ordering, Su Mei asked directly, "Lu Chen, did you sneak a bite?"

With a jolt, Lu Chen froze...

No? Why start with this kind of question? Can't you be a little more tactful?

"No."

Lu Chen answered directly, "Why are you asking that?"

Su Mei snorted: "Still pretending... When we kissed just now, your breath tasted like a woman's."

Lu Chen knew he couldn't fall into the trap of self-proof, otherwise Su Mei would have something on him.

This woman's possessiveness began to show, and she even forgot her original identity.

Thinking of this.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Su Mei, we're all adults. I know exactly what you're thinking. You asked me out for dinner today, so it's probably not just a simple meal, is it?"

Done.

Lu Chen listened directly to her thoughts.

【Huh? Why are you asking me that? It's definitely not just a simple invitation to dinner.】

But the thought of you having other women you're flirting with makes me unhappy and jealous.

[Don't be so mean to me, can't you just comfort me a little? I'd feel so much better then, ugh... so clumsy.]

Ouch...

Upon hearing these words, Lu Chen was at a loss for words.

He thought Su Mei had her own logic! Turns out, she just wanted him to coax her!

That saying is absolutely true: never try to reason with a woman; she only cares about your attitude and everything you do afterward.

Lu Chen stood up.

He went straight to sit down next to Su Mei.

The latter was taken aback, her gaze fixed on him…

"Lu...Lu Chen? What are you going to do?"

Su Mei's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, but she couldn't hide her anticipation.

then.

Lu Chen took her hand, leaned closer, and whispered in her ear, "We'll go to the hotel later, and I'll explain everything to you properly, okay?"

Chapter 13 My Wife's Best Friend Is Very Proactive

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Su Mei's thoughts kept coming through.

[Going to a hotel? What for? Or does he intend to do something to me?]

[Ah...is this already considered an explicit hint? Or is it a joke?]

[Lu Chen! I beg you, can't you just say what you mean clearly at once...?]

If we go to a hotel, does that mean we have to do *that*? Should I agree? Is it too fast?

Overall, Su Mei was quite conflicted, because Lu Chen was, after all, Gu Nanyin's husband.

Even if they didn't get caught, she would still feel guilty if they actually slept together in a hotel.

After a while, they met again.

Su Mei was in a state of utter confusion and fell silent, no longer caring who Lu Chen had kissed earlier...

"Su Mei?"

Lu Chen called out to her, changing the subject at the opportune moment: "Did you post the photos we took together on Douyin last time?"

Su Mei snapped out of her daze and nodded: "I posted it, I couldn't resist posting it, the traffic was pretty good, and quite a few people sent me private messages."

"Oh?" Lu Chen pressed, "What did you send me in a private message?"

Su Mei replied, "It's either asking if you need a girlfriend or something, and part of it is pure harassment."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I'm more curious about how you replied."

Su Mei coughed twice, her voice becoming stammering: "I... what can I say, how can I answer, say that you are my boyfriend?"

"I guessed it."

Lu Chen nodded, with an expression that suggested he already knew everything.
