Chapter 1014: Chapter 1013: Nian Yao, I’m Going Back to Beicheng
The man looked at those photos and placed them down gently, tapping his slender fingers a few times, then looked at her nonchalantly: "Did you have someone take these?"
"Lu Ze, listen to me, this was given to me by Lin Yun." Lu Xueman was flustered, stepping forward to hold onto Lu Ze’s arm.
Lu Ze sneered: "If you didn’t take them, why would someone come to you?"
Lu Xueman murmured: "Aren’t you going to explain at all?"
Lu Ze sat down and poured himself a glass of red wine, then asked her in return: "Do you think someone like Lin Yun would find it hard to resist going into a man’s room like you?"
Suddenly, he pinched her chin, closing in on her, his voice chillingly soft: "If he agreed back then, would you have spent the night in his room? Young lovers, how can they control themselves?"
Lu Xueman’s beautiful face turned purple, distorted, leaving the man uninterested as he let go of her.
She lay on the sofa, tears dropping from the corner of her eyes: "Lu Ze, what about these years when you found other women, do you think my life has been easy?"
"Whether it’s easy or not, you have to accept it," the man spoke coldly: "Don’t forget, you are just a little orphan taken in by the Lu Family, to put it crassly, you’re like a dog nurtured by the Lu Family. When the master is happy your days will be better, when he’s not, you’ll have to learn to bark like a dog."
Lu Xueman’s face turned pale: "Lu Ze, you’re too much. What about Lu Heng?"
"Lu Heng is, of course, a descendant of our Lu Family, he’s different from you." Lu Ze spoke coldly, lightly pulling on her hair: "In the future, mind your own business, and if you dare harass Lin Yun, watch how I deal with you."
Lu Xueman couldn’t take it anymore: "She has always liked Bo Nianyao, Lu Ze, you’re just imagining things."
"Yes, I do like her, I like that noble aura she carries, all the women I’ve encountered in my life don’t even compare to a single strand of her hair, is that good enough for you?" Lu Ze said, throwing her aside.
Then he continued to pour himself a drink, his Adam’s apple moving occasionally as he thought of Lin Yun.
The wife in his heart was just that kind of woman, dignified yet charming, so beautifully untouched by the mundane, Lu Ze, with his hands full of filth, just wanted someone around to purify him.
But such an opportunity wasn’t granted to him.
He sighed lightly, showing no concern for his wife’s thoughts, their years of calm shattered when she walked lonely into Bo Nianyao’s room.
This matter seemed to pass like this, and it wasn’t until a few days later that Bo Nianyao realized it.
After work that day, he went directly upstairs to find his wife.
Lady Bo was packing her luggage, and Bo Nianyao approached, somewhat stunned: "Leaving already?"
Lady Bo turned around, giving a casual smile: "The old man is uncomfortable here, his back and legs always ache, I thought I’d accompany him back to Beicheng."
Bo Nianyao gently wrapped his arms around her waist, bowing his head: "It’s only been a few days."
Lady Bo wanted to push his hand away, but he didn’t let go, speaking in a raspy voice: "For the next year or two, I’ll mostly be here. The children can’t be without me, and Xichen is too busy, so there are things I still need to help with."
Lady Bo looked up at him, cradling his face with both her hands, touched: "Nian Yao, I understand, but Si Garden also can’t be left unattended, I’ll go back with the old man for some days, then come over to see you."
Bo Nianyao said nothing, merely holding her tighter, neither agreeing nor refusing to let her go.
After a long moment, Lin Yun patted his shoulder: "Nian Yao, I’m packing."
Bo Nianyao’s voice was somewhat hoarse: "Back then, did you have feelings for me?"
Lady Bo frowned: "Who remembers those things?"
Patting him: "Come on, don’t act lovey-dovey like a young couple, Bo Nianyao, I’ll tell you, I’m not falling for it."
But she couldn’t shake him off, he still held onto her: "Yun Er, why did you look at me back then?"
At that time, he wasn’t good, he was with others.
After marriage, it wasn’t that he liked her immediately, even now he couldn’t say when he started liking her.
But, he did care about why she liked him, back then, many talented young men wanted to marry the Lin family’s daughter, only now did he learn Lu Ze was one of them.
Lady Bo saw his stance and knew an explanation was necessary, so she sighed: "Alright, I’ll tell you."
She glanced at him, softly said: "When you were in college, don’t you remember me as a freshman, always going to listen to the senior’s classes?"
But, he ended up with Lu Xueman, it had infuriated her!
Bo Nianyao was somewhat surprised, only speaking after a while: "So the lady liked me long ago."
"Pah, at this age, don’t be silly." Lady Bo pushed him: "Alright, now let me pack, stop being clingy."
As soon as she said this, she was lifted up, Bo Nianyao spoke hoarsely: "But even a brief separation is like a newfound wedding bliss."
