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

You can occasionally find a few used umbrellas on the ground, and there are also quite a few cigarette butts.

The elite schools for the wealthy are filled with students from privileged backgrounds, and the schools tend to turn a blind eye to issues unless they are matters of principle.

After all, their future had already been planned out.

The school only took them in with the sponsorship from their parents.

Su Xinyu and Yu Lili found a pavilion and sat down.

Yu Lili took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, opened it, took out one, and handed it to Su Xinyu.

The two lit the cigarettes and started smoking them right there on the spot.

"Xinyu, you went a bit too far just now."

Yu Lili exhaled blue smoke from her nose and spoke.

Su Xinyu replied, "Where did I go too far?"

Yu Lili continued, "If I hadn't stopped you, would you and Brother Lu have just done it?"

Su Xinyu didn't lie and nodded directly: "You're right, it's not like this is the first time we've done this."

"Damn it."

Yu Lili leaned against the tree: "What did we say before? Fair competition. You sat on Brother Lu's lap right in front of me. Don't you respect me?"

Hearing Yu Lili's sharp words, Su Xinyu immediately stubbed out her cigarette.

"I don't want to argue with you. It's my brother's freedom to like whoever he wants. If he's holding you, I won't say a word."

Su Xinyu found it funny; she and Yu Lili had been best friends for many years, but now they were arguing every other day because of a man.

Actually, she had thought about this issue while staying at her aunt Chen Yu's house for those few days.

Why not just delete Lu Chen, so as not to let a man affect our friendship?

But it turned out she couldn't do it at all... which led to her losing control and making a video call on her own initiative.

Now that Yu Lili's voice is so sharp, it has made her even more determined about one thing.

That means we absolutely cannot let Lu Chen go.

"Row."

Yu Lili took a drag of her cigarette and continued, "I will definitely not cause any trouble while Brother Lu is with you today. And after today, if I go to see Brother Lu, don't be jealous."

Su Xinyu snorted coldly: "Fine, I won't eat it! If you can do it, so can I."

Yu Lili straightened up, stubbed out her cigarette, and nodded: "I hope what you're saying is true."

8 PM.

After the two self-study sessions.

Su Xinyu almost ran to the school gate, looking left and right for Lu Chen's car.

She couldn't find it... Just when she thought Lu Chen had stood her up, she heard a horn blaring.

"Di Di!"

Su Xinyu turned her head and saw Lu Chen riding a small scooter slowly approaching.

Su Xinyu was taken aback, then quickly went to greet her.

"Brother, what's going on? Where's your car?"

Lu Chen replied, "You can't even drive into the night market, this is much more convenient."

Su Xinyu didn't think much of it and sat down in the back.

She wasn't a snob; as long as it was Lu Chen, she was willing to go even if she had to walk.

After helping Lu Chen sit down, the small pedal slowly started moving.

As the cool night breeze blew, Su Xinyu felt much more relaxed.

However, the sight of her sitting on the footboard left many classmates dumbfounded and buzzing with discussion.

"Wow, isn't that the campus belle from Soochow University? What's she doing with a guy riding a scooter?"

"The school beauty has such unique taste. She ignored the rich second-generation guy who was pursuing her a few days ago, but now she's sitting on the back of a footrest."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Look at that guy, how handsome is he? He's a pure modeling monster. If I were with him, I'd be willing to ride a bicycle, let alone pedal a pedal."

The two arrived at the night market and stopped in front of a fried rice stall.

Lu Chen parked the pedal, went to the stall, and ordered two servings of deluxe fried rice from the owner.

Su Xinyu also specifically instructed that more chili peppers should be added.

After the two found a seat, Su Xinyu asked, "Brother, how much are two servings of fried rice?"

Lu Chen replied, "Thirty. Ours is the deluxe version, which costs 15 per serving."

Su Xinyu felt a lump in her throat and surprisingly felt sorry for Lu Chen.

"Brother, is this all you usually eat?"

Lu Chen hadn't quite grasped what was going on when he heard this and replied, "I usually cook for myself; I only eat out when I'm too lazy."

Su Xinyu was a little angry: "Gu Nanyin is really something, and she's the president! Doesn't she even give you pocket money? She might not have 100,000, but she'll have 50,000."

Lu Chen was about to drink some water when he heard this and almost choked: "Cough cough! Xinyu, we're getting married, the kind where we register our marriage, not having someone move in with us."

"Gu Nanyin gave me a decent, leisurely, high-paying job, and I didn't ask her for money."

Su Xinyu continued, "Brother Lu, I'm serious. You should divorce her and be with me. Just tell me where you want to work."

Lu Chen smiled but didn't answer. Su Xinyu was just acting on her feelings. There was absolutely no problem with her being a princess at home.

But to say she can command the entire Su family? That's utter nonsense.

"I have enough to spend on myself."

Lu Chen casually offered an explanation, and just then the fried rice was ready, so he buried himself in cooking.

Faced with the fragrant fried rice, Su Xinyu only took two bites before pushing it in front of Lu Chen.

"Brother, you eat, I'm not very hungry."

Lu Chen looked up and said, "Aren't you hungry? It's the middle of the night, there's nowhere to buy food."

Su Xinyu replied, "We'll talk about it when we're hungry. We can just order takeout. I'm a little... not used to the food."

"I see..." Lu Chen nodded: "Okay, then we'll talk when you're hungry."

Seeing his expression, Su Xinyu thought he was angry, so she explained, "Brother, that's not what I meant. I just don't like the food."

"It's okay, I know."

Lu Chen waved his hand: "If you don't eat it, I will. One serving isn't enough for me anyway."

Su Xinyu smiled and said, "Brother, you understand me so well. I'm going to buy some things for us tonight."

With that, Su Xinyu stood up and walked into the mall.

"Go on, go on, hey! What do you mean by 'wait a minute'?"

When Lu Chen finally realized what was happening and looked up, Su Xinyu left him with only a mysterious smile.

"This girl..."

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly and continued eating.

Ten minutes later, Su Xinyu returned carrying a bag and sat down again.

Lu Chen had already finished eating. Seeing this, he glanced at her and asked, "What did you buy?"

Su Xinyu kept everyone in suspense: "I won't tell you, brother. You'll find out when the time comes."

Chapter 49 Discovered a Little Secret

After the two finished eating, they realized a problem: where to stay.

Lu Chen definitely couldn't go back to the hotel. Firstly, he didn't like that kind of place, and secondly, he didn't dare to gamble on whether there were any hidden cameras.

"elder brother…"

Su Xinyu tentatively asked, "How about we go to your house... Your wife isn't home, is she?"

Lu Chen looked at her, wanting to see what Su Xinyu was up to.

"Uh... she's not here. We only see each other twice a week."

"That's perfect!" Su Xinyu exclaimed happily, "How about we go to your house today?"

Lu Chen replied jokingly, "What if she comes back? What will you do then?"

“Hmm…” Su Xinyu hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, she hadn’t realized that this was possible.

However, she was quick-witted and replied directly, "Just say I'm your student, here to tutor you."

Lu Chen sighed helplessly, "You don't even believe that yourself."

Su Xinyu realized she had been a bit foolish, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Then let's go to my house?"

Lu Chen countered, "Aren't your family members home?"

Su Xinyu shook her head: "My mom is here."

Lu Chen was taken aback: "Then why are you still asking me to go?"

Su Xinyu shrugged and replied, "Then what should we do? Brother, think of a way, but my mom doesn't seem to mind you."

Lu Chen thought to himself, "Even if your mom likes me a lot, I can't stay overnight at your house."

"Let's go to my place," Lu Chen said. "My wife isn't coming back either."

Su Xinyu frowned: "Wow, brother, what about what you just said, what if your wife comes home!"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Wasn't I just teasing you?"

"Humph!"

Su Xinyu gently patted Lu Chen: "You teased me. Brother, let's go. It's a bit cold now."

Cold?

Actually, she couldn't wait any longer.

"Brother, let's hurry! It's raining so hard down there, I'm soaked!"

Su Xinyu had always been curious about what Lu Chen's house looked like, whether there would be a wedding photo hanging above the bed, and whether there would be matching pajamas for the couple in the closet.

However, when she arrived at Lu Chen's house, she realized that she had been overthinking things.

What are you looking for?

Lu Chen saw her going back and forth between several rooms, so he asked her.

Su Xinyu approached him and asked, "Does your wife not usually live here?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Didn't I say? I don't come back very often."

No wonder…

Su Xinyu pointed to the bedroom: "I just opened the closet and there was only one women's nightgown. The rest are all your clothes, brother."

Lu Chen then realized what was happening and said, "I didn't prepare pajamas for you, so... you can wear Gu Nanyin's?"

"Depend on…"

Su Xinyu said helplessly, "Brother, even if you let me wear yours, don't let me wear hers."

Lu Chenzhen didn't understand this, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Xinyu replied, "I just feel uncomfortable."

Lu Chen thought about it and agreed, so he got up and found her one of his white T-shirts.

"That's more like it."

Su Xinyu took Lu Chen's T-shirt and went into the bathroom first.
