Marriage Contract (6)

Lu Yi’s hand on the steering wheel slipped, and his expression was slightly subtle: “Not sleeping.”

He didn’t turn his face to look at Yu Ke, but from the corner of his eye, he could see the youth’s beautiful face expressing deep disappointment. “But Mr. Lu, providing you with a harmonious X life is one of my responsibilities as a wife, isn’t it?”

Lu Yi continued: “The rules I said earlier do not include this one, and it will not become your job content.”

“I can work overtime, for free “

Lu Yi´s voice sank: “You have overstepped, Mr. Yu, please correct your attitude, do not ask things outside of work. “

“Okay, I’ll pay attention.” Lu Yi was cold, but he could stir up people. His heart just burst into flames, but he was poured down with a basin of ice water by his unkind looks, giving him the chills.

He struggled a bit because of the cold. Before getting off the car, Yu Ke asked again: “you would definitely not treat Fang Chuan like this. I know I’m just a partner, but out of my own appreciation of you, can I ask, the reason why you don’t want to sleep with me, is it because I don´t look good?”

Out of courtesy, Lu Yi carefully measured the other person’s current appearance. Because of the wedding tomorrow and the presence of the media, the photographer and stylist gave Yu Ke a thicker makeup, highlighting the contours of his facial features, making him look more gorgeous and compelling.     

He said according to his own aesthetics: “As far as I am concerned, your previous look was better, but now it´s not ugly.”     

Before, both Yu Ke´s clothes and makeup alleviated the impact of the facial features, and the outline was much softer and looked very comfortable.

Lu Yi’s answer was that it was not because of his appearance. Yu Ke glanced at his look in the rearview mirror. This makeup was more magnificent and more combative, his lips were painted red. It looked a bit cold and noble.  

“But when I was in the club before, you praised me for looking better.” He heard Lu Yi say this before, thinking that the other party liked this type more.

Humans are visual animals, and he originally planned to put on this kind of makeup every day in the future. If Lu Yi didn’t like it, it wouldn’t be worth the loss.

Lu Yi’s tone was flat: “Your classmate was there at the time. This was just the right choice based on interest and considerations.” Businesses are just talking about each other. Lu Yi had never spared his praise of his partners.

If the other person looked good, he would boast of being handsome. If ugly but well-educated, he could praise their talents. If there was nothing but money, he could praise each other’s children for being outstanding.

In all fairness, Yu Ke was indeed outstanding, and his praise was not against his will.

It didn’t sound pleasant. If it were someone else, Yu Ke would definitely complain about this person. But now Yu Ke saw Lu Yi and added a thick triple filter, and he directly listened to the cold and impersonal words as –I said so because I like you and want you to be happy.

“Since you don’t like it, then tomorrow I will dress according to myself? Your feelings are more important to me than to please those who don’t matter.” Every word of Yu Ke was always the same. He was showing good to the man in front of him, but his tone was natural and equal, and he wouldn’t make people think he was flattering.     

“For the wedding, this is better now.” Lu Yi explained a few words. He took back his hands on the steering wheel and glanced at his watch: “Tomorrow’s wedding is scheduled at 12:15 noon. Before that, could you recite the information I gave you?” 

Yu Ke thought about the thickness of the stack of materials, smiling very confidently: “Of course, but can I apply for a cup of coffee tonight? Or a can of Red Bull? I have confidence in myself, but for the first wedding, I still want to be 200% ready.”    

Lu Yi was very satisfied with the positive attitude shown by his new wife: “Just follow your own pace. I’ll take you to see my parents.”    

Yu Ke suddenly realized what it meant for Lu Yi to come himself. He suddenly became nervous, and his expression changed from full of confidence to nervousness: “Wait a minute, what do I do? Wouldn’t it be too rude if I didn’t buy anything?”    

This was the legendary meeting with the parents.

Lu Yi was a little surprised. He couldn’t understand why Yu Ke suddenly became so nervous: “I’m just taking you to see my mother to explain the situation clearly. I repeat it again, from now on to the end of the wedding, as long as you are responsible for doing what I ask you to do, don’t care about irrelevant people. Tomorrow, try to talk as little as possible and leave the rest to me. Do you understand?” 

A sharp tongue was a good attribute, but on some occasions it would only be more wrong, Yu Ke didn’t know anything now, and he couldn’t expect too much.

Yu Ke nodded, indicating that he knew. In fact, he still wanted to ask about the topic at the beginning, but time was tight, and now was not a good opportunity for flirting. It would obviously be annoying to ask more.

They would be together for a long time, when the wedding was over, he would surely let Lu Yi live with him and fall in love.

Lu Yi didn’t know what was going on in this person’s head. He led the person directly to Ms. Lu: “Mom, I have already arranged the wedding. This is my marriage partner for tomorrow’s wedding.”

He walked to the side and gave way to Yu Ke, who was hiding behind him: “Yu Ke, this is my mother.”

Yu Ke showed a super cute smile: “Mom, I am Yu Ke, Poppy´s Yu, Ke from Mu and Ke”

The sweet “Mom” scared Ms. Lu. She looked at her son, and then pulled Lu Yi aside, muttering softly, ” Lu Yi, Could it be that you were cheating on Fang Chuan? He caught you and that’s why he ran away?”

Lu Yi explained, “It’s just a temporary marriage for one year. I paid him a salary of 10 million for the year, and currently I have paid a deposit of 1 million, the remaining 9 million will be paid after one year.”

Ms. Lu was a fashionable person, and she realized that they married by contract. She did not expect that one day, such a bloody plot would happen to her son.

However, this kind of thing happened when the fiancé ran away temporarily, and it was understandable for her son to do so: “Why does this person’s name sound familiar?”

Lu Yi affirmed her mother’s words: “He is the first love who made Fang Chuan live and die for.”

Ms. Lu, who had seen the big wind and waves, suddenly fell silent, then clicked, and put her chin back, she persuaded earnestly. “Son, although the Lu family is very important, but your mother has only a son like you. Your happiness is the most important thing. There is no need to wrong yourself so much.” 

It was said that the Fang family and the Lu family were equal, but in reality, the Lu family’s status in City B was higher. Otherwise, both sides were sons and only children. So, why was Fang Chuan married in, instead of her family’s Lu Yi.¹?

He was just such a son. If he liked men, then he liked men, and she wouldn’t force her son to harm girls.

To be honest, she brought together Lu Yi and Fang Chuan at the time. One was because the other party knew their roots, and the other was that Fang Chuan was soft-tempered, warm like a little sun, with similar family background, and not far behind in terms of consumption.

Lu Yi was like his father, cold and impersonal. Only when the two children complement each other could life be better. She really wanted her son to live happily. The marriage between the two families was only incidental.

Lu Yi looked at Ms. Lu: “Mom, I, your son, am an adult. I know exactly what I do, and I will not joke about my marriage easily. Since I decided to choose him, it means that I think he is the most suitable person to get married at this stage, and it’s only a year of marriage. Whether I have been divorced or not, it will not lose your son’s charm.”

Well, when the son grows up, she can’t be the master, Ms. Lu gave a look: “mother listens to you, you can handle it yourself. You are responsible for the replacement of the bridegroom. I am responsible for the Fang family.” 

It was originally the Fang family who was sorry for them, and now the Lu family found a solution, the other party should also cooperate.

“Thank you, mom.” Lu Yi thought about it, then added, “Also, mom, I love you.”

“This kid, what’s the point of a family talking about thanks?” The sudden sensation made Ms. Lu’s eyes red.

The look of her tears fell in the eyes of Yu Ke, who had been secretly looking here, shocking the essence of the “Vixen”.

Could it be that he was too enthusiastic just now and scared Mr. Lu’s mother to tears?

Lu Yi and Ms. Lu said a few more words, then walked to Yu Ke: “Come upstairs with me.”

Yu Ke whispered, “Auntie?”

“I’ve already told her, in front of outsiders you can call her as before, she will cooperate with you.” 

People in their family, even if they were ugly inside, they must show family harmony outside. Since Yu Ke was his wife in the legal sense, it was reasonable to change his words.

Yu Ke nodded seriously, his expression was very serious and solemn: “I see, husband!”

Lu Yi almost choke on his saliva, he slowed down a little: “This is my home, you don’t need to call me that.”

Dedication was a good thing, but Mr. Yu was obviously a bit too dedicated.

“I remember, my dear.”

Forget it, changing the name made it easier to enter the show, Lu Yi gave up the idea of ​​correcting the other party.

“Go upstairs, you have two hours, and I will check how much you can recite.”

The wedding had been prepared for nearly a month, but the bridegroom had changed temporarily. There were still many things he had to deal with.

For example, how to get Fang Chuan’s mother to recognize the “vixen” as her godson.

Notes

1.  When a woman marries a man, she marries into the husband’s house/family, the husband’s family is her new family and it’s supposed to be more important than her own left behind family. In this case both Lu Yi and Fang Chuan are men, so Fang Chuan was the one married in, treated as the girl, implying that his status is lower than Lu Yi´s. ↩︎
