Xiao Qing held the phone, his gaze carrying a deep heaviness that left him speechless, yet, deep down inside, he still loved Loh Hua. He hoped Loh Hua could be with him, but now that he had made this promise, could he trust him?

"Don’t say anything more to me, I don’t want to hear any of it." Xiao Qing said as he hung up the phone, his eyes emanating a deeper somberness.

On the other end, Loh Hua hung up without saying a word and got into the car, not very happy.

However, his expression was so cold it was frightening, making the air in the car somewhat stagnant.

Li Meitong’s face was slightly somber, but she didn’t ask too much, knowing that she was the wife Loh Hua married for family interests.

Sitting in the car, Chiang Junyan glanced at the two whose spirits seemed off, a hint of doubt in his eyes. Chiang Junyan was Loh Hua’s good brother and friend.

Thus, the three sat in the car, each harboring their own thoughts, and the car quickly drove to the Quan Family Villa.

"Finally home, Loh Hua, it feels like I’ve arrived at my own house here, I’m so much more comfortable." Chiang Junyan said with a smile, his peach blossom eyes squinting a bit as he saw Li Meitong getting off the car.

Li Meitong quickly turned aside when her gaze met Chiang Junyan’s, "I’ll go upstairs first."

"Hmm." Loh Hua glanced at her without saying anything else, until Li Meitong disappeared from his sight.

Chiang Junyan then approached Loh Hua, casually resting a hand on his shoulder, "Loh Hua, your wife seems to be quite afraid of me! How did you meet her?"

Loh Hua shot him a sidelong glance, expressing the sentiment of staying for dinner but not talking too much, casting a slight smile at Chiang Junyan.

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask. Hurry up and start dinner, I’m starving!"

They returned to the villa.

While eating, when Li Meitong came downstairs, she immediately saw the two handsome men chatting and laughing by the dining table.

From afar, they looked like a beautiful scenery, suddenly, Li Meitong stood still, feeling somewhat awkward, not wanting to disrupt the view.

Suddenly, a deep and sharp gaze shot towards her, Loh Hua’s lips curled into a slight smile, quickly standing up and walking towards her.

The man naturally held her small hand, and swiftly tilted his head, whispering softly in her ear, "Play along."

After speaking, his hand suddenly released, wrapping around her waist.

Li Meitong was startled inside, she understood the meaning of his words. In front of outsiders, she indeed had to play the part of Mrs. Quan.

Her previously stiff body relaxed slightly at this moment.

Seeing this change in the woman, Loh Hua smiled with satisfaction inside.

Soon, Loh Hua affectionately embraced her, guiding her to the dining room. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When passing by Chiang Junyan, Li Meitong politely smiled at him before accompanying Loh Hua to sit at one side of the dining table.

The meal was eaten in rather unusual quietness, yet Loh Hua kept taking care of Li Meitong during the meal, continually serving her dishes, exemplifying the perfect national husband.

Watching this made Chiang Junyan marvel in his heart.

"Thank you, there’s no need to be so courteous." Li Meitong was somewhat startled, looking at him with a hint of sarcasm inside. She truly felt that his acting talent was exceptional, not pursuing an acting career was a real waste.

Was he genuinely unwilling to do this, yet pretending so vividly in front of others? It was truly difficult for him.

Loh Hua gazed at Li Meitong and squinted slightly, suddenly, his hand under the table moved, fiercely grasping hers under the table, squeezing forcefully.

The squeeze immediately made Li Meitong feel her whole body tense up, she tried to withdraw her hand quicker, but suddenly, she felt the other party forcibly pull her hand to another place...

In that moment, it was like an electric current surged through Li Meitong’s body, a very different stiffness and heat spread to her hand, making her hand feel as though it had been burned and wanting to retract.

Instantly, Li Meitong felt both anxious and angry, her ears turning slightly red, her delicate and radiant face flushing with an unusual blush.

At that second, before Li Meitong withdrew her hand, Loh Hua let go of her.

Li Meitong turned her face right into the man’s slightly smirking handsome face.

His deep brown eyes were too bright, even flashing with a few hints of charming wickedness, making her truly angry.

Annoying Loh Hua, was he deliberately making her embarrassed?

Yet in front of outsiders, it wasn’t suitable to react too strongly.

Anger brewing, Li Meitong’s beautiful face flushed even more.

"I’m done eating, you take your time." Li Meitong said, quickly standing up without waiting for Loh Hua to say more, turning and leaving the dining room, heading to the second floor.

Gazing at that shaped back, Loh Hua’s lips curled meaningfully.

"Loh Hua, what did you just do to her?" Chiang Junyan looked towards Loh Hua, having clearly seen his expression change in that instant, harboring suspicion within.

Intuitively, he felt this woman named Li Meitong wasn’t so simple.

For he saw that glimmer in Loh Hua’s eyes, what did it signify? It was hard to say.

Loh Hua turned his head, gazing at his friend, coldly charming smile on his face, standing up, snapping at him, "None of your business! If you’re full, accompany me upstairs for a couple of rounds!"

Chiang Junyan smiled and didn’t ask further, soon leaving the table to accompany Loh Hua to the third floor.

The two fiercely battled on the vast indoor basketball court.

During intervals in the game, whether it was curiosity or another reason, Chiang Junyan couldn’t help but voice his doubt, "Loh Hua, honestly tell me, why did you marry Li Meitong? From what I know about you, you wouldn’t easily give up Fang Xinyi!"

Loh Hua suddenly raised his arm, sending the ball into the basket, answering boldly and coldly, "Mind your own business!"

Thunk, a beautiful shot made Chiang Junyan smile broadly.

"As expected, an expert. Loh Hua, your ball skills keep improving. Previously... I remember you were defeated under my hands?" Chiang Junyan continued recklessly. However, the less he wanted to talk, the more there must be a bigger story here!

These words directly challenged Loh Hua’s bottom line, causing his gaze to turn icy and his mood displeased.
