Lu You's face indeed had soured since the moment Yu Xiuli had entered the room tonight—he knew this meal wouldn't be so enjoyable.
As expected...
"No need to thank me, life is unpredictable. Who knows who Xiao Xia will be married to a year from now?" Lu You had calmed down and learned from Yu Xiuli, his smile hiding daggers, each word and phrase prickling with thorns.
"Divorce is out of the question. The one good thing about me is that I like to keep things close. Xiao Xia is with me, and I will make sure she's well taken care of... she will never want to leave in her lifetime."
"Is that so? We'll just have to see."
Lu You, of course, didn't believe his nonsense about deeply loving Gu Xia; the marriage between Yu Xiuli and Gu Xia had a purpose from the start.
No one was clearer on that than he was...
During the meal, Gu Xia seemed to enjoy her food, whereas the two men were at each other's throats at every turn.
