She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 298 - 297: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Another to Transmigrate (9)
Walking into the villa, Yu Xiaoran was unexpectedly sitting on the sofa, which was a rare sight.
Since the Commissioner married him, he basically returns home late every night, always with the excuse of being busy with work.
He is indeed quite busy, but not so busy that he stays late every night. Now, the Yu Family is completely under his control, everything has stabilized, and he has nearly twenty competent assistants by his side. He doesn’t have to be so busy. Staying out late is, of course, just avoiding facing the Commissioner.
After all, marrying her was only like waiting for that bird to come along.
"Have you returned?" Yu Xiaoran raised his head and gazed at Ah Chen as she walked through the door, his expression suddenly dazed for a moment, as if since he met her in this life, she had been much more obedient than in the previous life, especially in front of him.
He constantly has people monitor her actions. When he’s not around, she doesn’t exaggerate as she did in the past, even if someone invites her for tea, she doesn’t immediately start bragging about various things. She tries to conduct herself properly, even if she can’t hide it, she tries her best. Of course, before marriage, she was no different from how she was in the previous life.
Chen Zhu’s words suddenly echoed in his mind.
"President Yu, actually, the madam is sincere towards you."
"Maybe it’s not quite appropriate to say this, but the madam has truly changed a lot. Although not as excellent as others, she is indeed improving."
Ah Chen glanced at him and smiled faintly: "I’m back."
"Why suddenly think of returning to the Lu Family?" Yu Xiaoran still sat there, his gaze falling on her, "Are you still mad?"
She likes him, and she also likes his status, wealth, and appearance, so he isn’t worried that this incident would lead her to consider divorce.
Since being reborn, every step he took was steady.
He has now brought her home, there’s no way he would let her divorce.
The identity of Mrs. Yu is very appealing to her.
Many things are difficult to control, except for her, who is easy to manage and grasp.
Of course, he still needs to be cautious to prevent any mistakes that might affect his relationship with Bai Ying.
To Bai Chen, he can only ever show that they are just in an arranged marriage, trying to coexist with her. Not developing feelings is completely normal. He will only realize this once Bai Ying appears.
"I missed my mom." Ah Chen smiled more broadly, "I went back to see her, wasn’t the matter this afternoon already settled?"
"However... after returning, my family thought I must have been wronged, especially my two stepbrothers. They told me if things are unbearable, then I should get a divorce." Ah Chen’s smile deepened, and as she spoke, she captured Yu Xiaoran’s fleeting shock and disbelief. He quickly composed himself, but she watched him continuously, not missing any expression.
"They think you’re incapable of developing feelings towards me, and they said that even as the Lu Family’s stepdaughter, I can’t be bullied by just anyone."
Noticing the hint of malice in Yu Xiaoran’s eyes, Ah Chen felt somewhat satisfied.
"So I do have backing, Xiao Ran, don’t bully me." Her brows wore a mischievous smile, speaking lightly but stirring a tempest in Yu Xiaoran’s heart.
As Yu Xiaoran looked up at her, Ah Chen instantly put on a proud look, as if having someone backing her.
If they could find a place for a showdown tonight, it would be better.
Obviously, that’s impossible.
Bai Ying hasn’t even appeared; why would they fight? At most, a debate could occur.
"Seems you are still mad at me." Yu Xiaoran showed a helpless smile, "I’ll pay attention in the future, be honest with you, alright?"
Getting closer to her, this is certainly impossible. What if Bai Ying finds out?
He doesn’t want Bai Ying to misunderstand anything.
Yu Xiaoran took out a box, handing it to Ah Chen: "This is my gift of apology, personally chosen after leaving work today. Can Mrs. Yu forgive me a little?"
Ah Chen took the box, opened it, and scanned the contents, lifting her eyes to look at him: "Did you really choose this yourself? Not lying to me?"
The style of the selected gift was clearly the aesthetic of the assistant dedicated to this task under him.
Oh well, whether he speaks the truth or lies doesn’t affect her much.
It’s quite hard to make a liar stop lying.
Yu Xiaoran’s face still held a helpless smile. Since he already claimed it, then it must have been his choice. Later, he’d remind the person who picked it, ensuring that there’s no other person involved in this.
"Of course, I chose it myself."
"Alright, then I’ll trust you." Ah Chen put the box into her bag, her eyes smiling at him.
This Commissioner is somewhat different this time, just as many have similarly assessed, not possessing any high ethical qualities or integrity.
It means she’s not anything great, and since Yu Xiaoran himself came to marry her, if they divorce in the future, it’s only natural to claim what’s hers, as marriage is indeed a property relationship, no reason to be deceived and get nothing.
With such thoughts from the Commissioner, Ah Chen would naturally do as she intends.
No matter if she could spend it or not, she must get it.
"Xiao Ran, I’ll go upstairs first, I’m a bit tired today." Ah Chen said, then remembered something, added, "You seem not to like what I make, so I’ll stop cooking and leave it to the chefs."
"Have you eaten?"
Seeing she still cared if he ate, Yu Xiaoran relaxed inwardly, confirming she really wasn’t angry.
He knew she was easy to comfort; as long as his attitude was a little better, she’d behave just as before, saving trouble.
"Not yet, I’ll have the chef prepare something, you go rest."
If she doesn’t involve herself with those tasks, it reduces contact, which is quite good.
Watching her disappearing figure, Yu Xiaoran’s gaze cooled down. It seemed the Lu Family Brothers were a bit odd; could it be... If so, he couldn’t quietly wait for Bai Ying here. He must find an opportunity to test his theory. If it turns out as he thinks, they need to sit down and have a proper talk.
Surely, they wouldn’t want any mishap concerning Bai Ying either.
"Mrs. Zhang, prepare a bowl of mushroom porridge I usually eat and bring it up." Yu Xiaoran instructed, about to go upstairs.
Yet, Mrs. Zhang called him, her expression troubled.
Yu Xiaoran was puzzled: "What’s wrong?"
"Are there no mushrooms?" he instinctively asked, then chuckled. Even if there weren’t any, with his financial power, couldn’t he still get mushrooms? Some markets might still be open now, buying mushrooms isn’t difficult.
Mrs. Zhang said: "The porridge left for you in the evenings was prepared by Madam before, my taste might differ significantly."
"Why didn’t you mention this?" Yu Xiaoran frowned. This meant he had been eating porridge prepared by Bai Chen for a month? He didn’t want too much involvement with the other party.
"Madam instructed me to serve it to you without mentioning it," Mrs. Zhang added softly, "Madam thought if you knew, you wouldn’t want to eat it anymore." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
She was aiming to save trouble; if President Yu didn’t eat the porridge prepared by Madam, wouldn’t she have to start cooking again?
Laziness is human nature.
