After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 55 Call Him Husband

Fei Chenfeng had met Li Xiang once before. Tonight, when he was on his way home from get off work, he happened to run into Li Xiang taking out the trash, and the two greeted each other.

"Is there something urgent, Auntie? The movie isn't over yet," Fei Chenfeng said with a smile.

Li Xiang glanced inside but didn't see Hua Meimei. She was sitting on the carpet, and the sofa had already hidden her.

The movie was playing as usual on the projection screen. Li Xiang knew that movie; it had been popular before, and her phone was constantly receiving related news notifications.

Li Xiang said, "That's right, Mr. Luo is not in a good mood, and I want to ask his wife to go back and keep him company."

"How could he be in a bad mood? I saw him when he came back, and he seemed to be in a good mood." Fei Chenfeng was slightly surprised. Luo Jiuyu and Hua Meimei seemed to be in a good mood when they returned home.

"I don't know either. Could you please ask Meimei to go home for me?" Li Xiang smiled.

Fei Chenfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and closed the door.

Li Xiang stood there blankly, wondering whether to help call or not. She seemed reluctant.

After waiting for about five minutes, no one came out. Li Xiang felt embarrassed to knock on the door again, as it would seem like she was being nosy. So she went home.

In the living room, Luo Jiuyu sat on the sofa, and on the coffee table in front of him, a large bag of snacks had been opened and poured out.

As if they had obsessive-compulsive disorder, the snacks were arranged neatly, like a military training team.

Hearing the door open, he raised his head slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Seeing that Li Xiang was all alone, the glimmer of light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Li Xiang coughed lightly and said apologetically, "Sir, Madam may be a little busy and didn't come back with me."

Luo Jiuyu was silent for a moment, then stuffed another potato chip into her mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound. "Okay, I understand."

Baka yarou.

The Japanese soldiers' lines kept echoing in my mind.

Having absolutely no desire to watch a movie, he simply turned off the projector and went to sit in his study for a while.

When Fei Chenfeng returned from the doorway, he poured Hua Meimei a cup of hot water, looking preoccupied.

Hua Meimei asked, "What's wrong? Who knocked on the door?"

He had just moved in, and besides her, who else in the neighborhood would look for him?

"How did you feel about having dinner at the Luo family home with Luo Jiuyu?" Fei Chenfeng asked her in return.

When he got off work today, he wanted to drive to pick up Hua Meimei, but the reply he received was that she had already gone home early and was going to attend the Luo family's banquet with Luo Jiuyu.

"That's fine, it's just a formality. Apart from the two elders, the Luo family doesn't really welcome us."

"It's foreseeable that this will be the situation."

"You know anything about the Luo family?"

"I don't know much about it. I've only heard a little about it."

"Oh, tell me about it?" Hua Meimei said with a smile. There were some things she wanted to ask Luo Jiuyu but couldn't bring herself to ask. She was quite curious about Luo Jiuyu's background.

Rumors say he was an illegitimate child who was taken home and raised by Lori, and was separated from his mother from a young age.

I heard that his mother passed away a few years later, at such a young age, which is a real pity.

"If you want to know about him, shouldn't you ask him?" Fei Chenfeng smiled. "The person in question definitely knows more details and accuracy than I do."

Hua Meimei smiled and agreed. However, based on her understanding of Luo Jiuyu, she would probably be turned away if she asked.

Therefore, she never asked Luo Jiuyu about the Luo family.

In addition, since they were thinking that they would be getting a divorce in a few months, there was no need to get to know each other better.

"Berry, do you really have no feelings for Luo Jiuyu at all?" Fei Chenfeng suddenly asked.

Hua Meimei paused in her drinking motion when she heard Fei Chenfeng's question. After a moment of silence, she gently shook her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

“From the very beginning, this was a strange marriage. It was more like we were strangers who were forcibly pulled together by fate. But... sometimes his behavior made me feel a little confused.”

“Sometimes he doesn’t care about me at all. He never asks what I do or who I meet every day. I don’t care about him either. But it’s not fair to say he’s not good to me at all. He’s willing to lend me money, and today he even gave me his car.”

"He gave you a car?"

Fei Chenfeng had just mentioned today that he wanted to lend Hua Meimei his car for commuting. He said it was a loan so she would accept it more easily, but in reality, he wanted to give her a car.

Unexpectedly, Luo Jiuyu got there first.

"Yeah, he has a Volvo, and he said he was tired of driving it and wanted me to drive it."

Fei Chenfeng looked at her thoughtfully and said, "Wasn't it because I cared about you that I gave you the car?"

Hua Meimei laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, "You're overthinking it, how could that be!"

She used to think that Luo Jiuyu worked for someone else and didn't have much wealth. It wasn't until Luo Jiuyu lent her money that her impression of him as "poor" changed.

Later, when she heard the principal address him as "President Luo" at school, Hua Meimei realized that Luo Jiuyu was actually quite capable, in short, more capable than her.

She, this little flower, could never catch the principal's eye.

The reason Luo Jiuyu didn't want to drive that car anymore might be that he had bought a new one. Since the old car was just sitting there anyway, why not give it to her and have her cooperate in playing the role of husband and wife?

Fei Chenfeng was silent for a moment, then asked with concern, "Have you considered that continuing to be together for a few more months until the divorce might change your relationship?"

In this world, besides love at first sight, there is also love that grows over time.

Fei Chenfeng worried that Luo Jiuyu would fall in love with Hua Meimei if they spent too much time together. She was very charming now, sunny and happy, fearless and optimistic, humorous and open-minded, making it hard not to fall in love with her.

Hua Meimei disagreed. After finishing her water, she put down her glass and said, "How can we change this? Since we got married, we've argued more than we've had peaceful conversations. Besides, he's always so unpredictable; I have no idea what he's thinking."

"Hmm..." Fei Chenfeng saw her reach for the dried yellow peaches again. She had almost finished that bag, and he really regretted not buying a couple more bags; it turned out she liked them.

Meanwhile, Luo Jiuyu was in the study, irritably flipping through the book in her hands, but she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

He recalled the carefree smiles on Hua Meimei's face when she was with Fei Chenfeng, and a nameless anger welled up inside him.

He didn't understand why he cared so much, even though he had initially been dismissive of the marriage.

After a while, he got up and walked to the window, gazing at the night outside. He opened the window a crack, letting the cool evening breeze in to soothe his restless heart.

After chatting with Fei Chenfeng for a while, Hua Meimei finished watching the movie, got up to say goodbye, and went home.

The living room was pitch black, with only a sliver of light shining through the crack in the study door.

Hua Meimei quietly changed her shoes and walked towards the bedroom, trying to keep her movements as quiet as possible so as not to attract Luo Jiuyu's attention.

However, just as she was about to open her bedroom door, the door to the study suddenly opened.

Luo Jiuyu walked out from inside, staring straight at her, and strode towards the bedroom.

Since he's already come over, and considering he gave her his car today, she should greet him. It's only fair to be polite; she'll be patient with him today.

Seeing his sour face, she was in an unusually good mood and suddenly wanted to tease him.

"Honey~ You're still awake?" She stood against the door frame, giving him a sweet smile.

Her soft, delicate voice was so sweet it could melt your heart.
