After a pause, he added, “However, if something like this really happens, I hope that you will give me a chance to explain in person.”

“Explain?” Xiang Xiaoyuan raised her eyebrows. “Explain or make excuses?”

“I think you have a good sense of judgment.” Lu Wanggui flattered her. “So you will give me a chance to explain, right?”

How could Xiang Xiaoyuan say no?

Just as she was about to have an in-depth discussion on this topic, she ran into another couple in the neighborhood.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was quite familiar with them. They worked together and started from scratch. The man was about the same age as Lu Wanggui. With their skills, the couple opened a fast food restaurant. At the moment, they had many chain stores across the country. They were amazing.

“Wanggui? Why do you have time to go out for a walk today?” Mr. Feng was surprised. “We’ve moved here for more than ten years, but this is the first time we’ve seen you go out for a walk. It’s really strange.”

Mrs. Feng held Mr. Feng’s arm and smiled. “We should go out for a walk more often. If you have time in the future, bring your wife to join us for golf.”

Lu Wanggui said helplessly, “I will definitely participate when I have time.”

“I have heard you say that for more than ten years.” Mr. Feng changed his tone. “By the way, you have also received an invitation letter from Shengkong Group, right?”

Lu Wanggui paused and turned his head to look at Xiang Xiaoyuan.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had a natural expression and was smiling at Mrs. Feng. Only then did Lu Wanggui nod. “I have received it.”

“Then are you going?”

Mr. Feng Sighed. “It hasn’t been easy for CEO Zhong all these years. As a woman, she single-handedly sustained the company.”

Mrs. Feng pinched his arm in annoyance. “So? Are you looking down on women? CEO Zhong has the ability and skill. All these years, there have been female entrepreneurs. This proves that we women are not inferior to you men.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong.”

Mr. Feng looked helpless. “I didn’t mean what you thought. So, do you want to go?”

The smile on Lu Wanggui’s face faded slightly. “It hasn’t been confirmed yet.”

“It seems that the Zhong family is quite serious about this banquet and has sent out invitations to quite a number of people.” Mr. Feng said, “I heard that the Zhong family wants to donate the money received from these charity dinners to the young master who should have been the CEO a few years ago. I don’t know if it’s true.”

Mrs. Feng sighed. “That little CEO Zhong has been gone for almost three years, right? The heavens really envy the talented.”

The Feng couple wanted to say something else, but Lu Wanggui suddenly put his hand on Xiang Xiaoyuan’s shoulder and interrupted them with a calm expression. “I’m sorry. I suddenly remembered that I still have some unfinished business. We’ll talk again next time.”

Mr. Feng paused. “Okay, okay. You go ahead.”

Lu Wanggui held Xiang Xiaoyuan and walked back in a hurry. Xiang Xiaoyuan couldn’t keep up with him, but she didn’t protest. She just thought that he was in a hurry to go home and deal with his business.

When the two of them reached home, Xiang Xiaoyuan was breathing heavily. Lu Wanggui frowned as if something big had happened. The two of them stood at the entrance and didn’t move. They looked at each other.

In the end, Xiang Xiaoyuan was the first to speak. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say that you have something urgent to deal with?”

Lu Wanggui came back to his senses and nodded. “Yes.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan waved her hand, changed into slippers, and walked to the kitchen. “I’ll drink some water first. I’m so thirsty.”

She took out the sparkling water from the fridge and gulped down half of it. After she finished drinking the water, she looked into the fridge again. She had put so much sparkling water in the fridge before this, but now there were only two or three bottles left.

Xiang Xiaoyuan walked out and shouted towards upstairs, “Lu Bei, did you drink my sparkling water again?”

Lu Bei was playing games in his room with his headphones on, so he did not hear her shout.

Lu Wanggui watched this scene from the hallway. He lowered his eyebrows and suddenly laughed. His expression was no longer as serious as before.

Initially, Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that Lu Wanggui had rushed home in a hurry because he had something urgent to deal with. As usual, he would stay in the study until 11 or 12 o’clock. After taking a shower and putting on a facial mask, she did not expect to see him leisurely sitting on the sofa in the master bedroom and looking at his phone. He was in no rush to deal with work at all.

Xiang Xiaoyuan pursed her lips and sat down on the bed to look at her phone and did some online shopping. Occasionally, she would feel Lu Wanggui’s gaze on her. At first, she did not care, but as he looked at her more and more, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt a little embarrassed.

In this strange atmosphere, she and Lu Wanggui lay on the bed, but nothing happened.

They had a good night’s sleep..
