Jiang Yujie blushed a little and went to take out the New Year goodies that she had already prepared.
“Pass them to me.” Lu Qiyuan stretched out his hand as he said that.
Jiang Yujie quickly shook her head. “How can I ask you to do that?”
“There’s nothing wrong with that. I am a grown man right here, how can I let a lady carry such heavy things?” Without letting her say anything, Lu Qiyuan went to grab it. His gaze flickered, and his hand fell right onto Jiang Yujie’s hand.
Her hand was like those of young ladies, smooth and silky, which was quite different from Xia Qingyang’s.
He did not even want to touch Xia Qingyang now.
No matter how well Xia Qingyang maintained her looks, she had aged too.
It was still different from Jiang Yujie’s collagen-filled face with its bouncy and firm skin.
Jiang Yujie’s face flushed red. Lu Qiyuan also let go quickly. “I’m sorry.”
Jiang Yujie shook her head while still blushing. Lu Qiyuan then took the things over and sent her to her parents’ house.
When the neighbors of her parents saw Jiang Yujie getting off from such an expensive car, they all got a shock.
Jiang Yujie quite enjoyed such gazes too and took her things to go upstairs.
Only then did Lu Qiyuan leave and drive back home.
The moment he entered, he heard Xia Qingyang ask unhappily, “Why did you come back so late? I called your office number, but you weren’t there anymore. By right, you should have reached home two hours ago.”
Lu Qiyuan’s money was not in her hands yet. Xia Qingyang did not want Lu Qiyuan to go and find some mistress outside and snatch something that should be hers away from her.
When he heard Xia Qingyang say that, Lu Qiyuan’s face immediately darkened. “Are you checking on my whereabouts now?”
“Lu Qiyuan, did you really do something to let me down? If you have a clear conscience, why do you need to be afraid?” Xia Qingyang narrowed her eyes. She had an increasingly strong feeling that Lu Qiyuan seemed a little different, as if he looked more youthful and spirited.
“Am I being scared now? I am just annoyed that you are checking on my whereabouts! You are already so old. You didn’t check when you’re young, so why are you up to this now!” Lu Qiyuan said angrily.
“Lu Qiyuan!” Xia Qingyang suddenly stepped forward and suddenly paused. She sniffed quite a bit before saying, “You have the scent of women’s perfume on you!”
“Most of our company’s female staff use perfume. I will get it on me wherever I go. Don’t you smell it usually?” Lu Qiyuan said angrily.
“But the company’s employees are on leave today, so where did the female employees’ smell come from! Did you even go to the company today? Or did you go fooling outside on the pretext of going to the company?”
Lu Qiyuan pointed at Xia Qingyang angrily. “You’re getting more and more ridiculous! I didn’t want to stoop to your level all this while, so don’t go too far!”
“Why do you keep avoiding my question? Are you feeling guilty?” Xia Qingyang did not let Lu Qiyuan off.
Lu Qiyuan was so furious that he was on the verge of raising his hand to slap her. “It’s New Year’s Eve today, we still have reunion dinner to eat. If you don’t even want to let me spend a good New Year and don’t want to have a proper reunion dinner, you can continue making a ruckus! Xia Qingyang, ever since I married you, for so many years, I have never done anything untoward to you. I even cast Lu Man aside because of you and Lu Qi, to the point that she doesn’t even acknowledge me as her dad anymore. Han Zhuoli is such a fine son-in-law, yet I can’t even get any pride from that. That’s all because of you!”
He wanted desperately to latch on to Han Zhuoli.
But who was Han Zhuoli?
He definitely won’t let him do as he wished!
He could have been able to get some pride from it and become in-laws with the Han Family.
But Xia Qingyang ruined such a good opportunity of his!
“You are short-sighted and made me suffer together with you as well! Xia Qingyang, ever since I married you, the Lu Corporation has never developed any further! And even now, the situation at home is getting worse and worse. I won’t haggle with you over these things, so you should stop making a fuss out of nothing with me here!” Lu Qiyuan shouted angrily.
