My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 646 - 009: Weird and Eerie

Mu Lezhu walked in with Mrs. An without glancing sideways. As everyone walked inside, An Zixuan stood still, his eyes firmly fixed on Mu Lezhu, containing obvious guilt and reluctance, and... a hint of nostalgia.

The woman next to him was his newlywed wife, fairly attractive, but not from high society. Before marrying into the An Family, she was just a secretary in An Zixuan’s office, with a mediocre background, neither too good nor too bad.

When she married into the An Family because of her child, the most common comment from the outside was that she had risen to the top from a mere secretary to become the wife of An Group’s general manager, which brought considerable controversy to the An Family.

Fortunately, her child from this marriage was a boy; prestigious families still value boys greatly, which secured her position as the young mistress in the An Family, and she no longer needed to look at anyone’s face.

"Stop looking; she’s already inside." Watching An Zixuan’s gaze fixed on Mu Lezhu, Cheng Mi was a bit displeased, her tone carrying a clear hint of sourness. Her arms crossed, her figure had not been affected in the slightest by having a child, in fact, it had recovered exceedingly well.

Upon hearing Cheng Mi’s words, An Zixuan finally withdrew his gaze, coincidentally locking eyes with Leng Sui who seemed to be looking over, whether intentionally or unintentionally. This gave him a jolt, causing his chest to tremble involuntarily.

Perhaps it was Lu Jingang’s overwhelming presence; An Zixuan had interacted with him a few times, but each time their eyes met, he always felt enormous pressure, a feeling of suffocation. And now, with just a glance, it was enough to make his breath hitch.

When Lu Jingang saw his obviously guilty look, the light in his eyes suddenly sharpened, becoming both piercing and coldly withdrawn. He then walked in without a word, clearly having heard Cheng Mi’s words as his thin and cool lips drew into a straight line.

"Zixuan, it’s been so long already, and you still can’t forget her?" Cheng Mi stepped in front of him, blocking his gaze, clearly emotional, her tone both high-pitched and angry. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Seeing Lu Jingang walk away, An Zixuan finally sighed with relief, directly facing Cheng Mi’s words and questions, his gaze towards her somewhat cold.

"Zixuan, this matter is settled; you see, she has already found her place, and you, you have me and Tongtong now. Can’t we be happy?" When Cheng Mi saw his indifferent face and disdainful eyes, she felt incredibly hurt inside. With a hint of pleading, she took his hand, lowering her stance, and said softly.

"Cheng Mi, I warned you, don’t touch me or any of my things." An Zixuan glanced around, very disgusted, pulling his hand back and stepping aside to create some distance, issuing a stern warning word by word: "You’ve already achieved your wish as the young mistress of the An Family, nothing else you can have. If you’re smart, take good care of Tongtong and quietly stay in the An Family, properly occupying your seat as the young mistress."

"In your eyes, is my only ambition the position of the An Family’s young mistress?" Cheng Mi’s eyes were full of disappointment and pain, holding back tears from falling.

"Don’t forget, what despicable means you used to marry into our An Family. Otherwise, do you think you could enter the doors of the An Family just based on your status? It’s all thanks to Tongtong." An Zixuan sneered coldly, loathing Cheng Mi for a long time. If not for maintaining the An Family’s reputation, he would never have given up Mu Lezhu to marry her.

"That’s because I love you too much, Zixuan, I..."

"Shut up, I don’t want to hear any more. Today is Tongtong’s hundred-day banquet, I warn you, with so many important guests present, all of whom are Grandpa and Dad’s close friends, if you mess up, you know the consequences." He was tired of hearing her talk about ’love’, so much so that he now felt a sense of auditory fatigue and no longer wanted to entangle with her, coldly leaving that sentence before turning around and entering the room.

Cheng Mi stood there dazedly, trying hard to maintain a smile, ensuring no unnatural expressions. After all, there were many famous social media present at today’s hundred-day banquet, and if she were to secretly wipe her tears or lose herself and it got captured, the An Family would definitely abandon her without hesitation.

After all, Tongtong was already born, and she knew well that no one in the An Family liked her because she wasn’t their ideal candidate for a daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law; Mu Lezhu was. Yet the position she had achieved through sheer perseverance was something she would never give up, even if she were guarding an empty shell of a marriage, she would rather stay within it.

Once in the guest hall, after Mu Lezhu and Lu Jingang sat at the foremost round table, An Zixuan and Cheng Mi, who arrived later, sat at the table next to them. The couple appeared calm, seemingly like a loving newlywed pair, showing none of the earlier confrontational attitude from the entrance.

Mu Lezhu instinctively looked over and met An Zixuan’s gaze for a few seconds before calmly retracting her gaze.

This detail didn’t escape the perpetually aloof Lu Jingang; he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something, but said nothing.

When Cheng Mi saw them exchanging glances, her heart immediately felt uneasy, and the hand resting on her lap clenched into a tight fist, continuously exerting pressure.

Mr. An was giving his blessing speech at the front, and halfway through, the nanny brought the child to Cheng Mi’s side, asking the couple to hold the child and stand on stage.

Cheng Mi could be considered somewhat tactful, striving to make herself fit into high society, ensuring she didn’t appear too small-minded. Thus, even though she’d been married into the An Family for a while, there wasn’t much for people to say about her, and she even received some praise. Even Mrs. An began to regard her differently, her loathing for this daughter-in-law diminishing slightly, as Cheng Mi knew how to maintain An Family’s dignity at crucial moments and wouldn’t harm the family’s interests.

"I’ve long heard of the close relationship between the An Family and the Mu Family. It seems to be true." As everyone applauded, Lu Jingang lightly tapped his fingers on the table and spoke beside Mu Lezhu with a tone that was cool, yet carried a sense of detachment from the matter.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lezhu instinctively turned her head to look at him, always feeling like his words carried a sarcastic undertone, causing her to raise her eyebrows slightly: "Since when did President Lu become so full of double meanings?"
