Chapter 4

Today, I slept exceptionally well. Even though Liu Feifei didn't settle down the whole night, the more she played, the more at ease I felt.

Wish you two wretched lovers live and die together!

The subsequent two days unfolded just like any other, except Liu Feifei became increasingly unscrupulous.

In addition to verbally humiliating me, she even dared to point fingers at everything I did, as if she considered herself the lady of the house.

On the last day, for reasons unknown, Lu Jingcheng sent Liu Feifei back home.

"Honey, there's a meeting at the company today. Would you come with me?"

Lu Jingcheng put on his most handsome suit and, after neatly dressing, directed the question at me.

I was kneeling on the floor, wiping it, and hearing him address me in that manner almost made me think I misheard.

"What?"

I was somewhat dazed.

Today was the final day, and I intended to pass it quietly and unnoticed.

I assumed even if Lu Jingcheng survived, the virus in his body would certainly erupt and hasten his death.

Unexpectedly, he seemed like a different person?

"I said, there's a meeting at the company today. Come along with me, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Jingcheng came up to me and brushed his hand over my nose.

I was completely dumbfounded.

But looking at Lu Jingcheng again, his serious expression coupled with those deep eyes really made it hard for me to suspect he was acting.

Next, I accompanied him to the company and watched how he politely greeted the shareholders.

Then I saw how he established the company's strategic development plan for the next five years. His eloquence made me momentarily feel as though I had traveled into a parallel universe.

Otherwise, how could a person transform this drastically?

"Mr. Lu, I knew those rumors were false. I'm willing to support your company wholeheartedly from now on!"

"Indeed, only those who love their wives can hold onto wealth. I'm investing in those projects!"

After the meeting ended, a few observing investors immediately approached Lu Jingcheng.

"Thank you all for your trust. I, Mr. Lu, will not disappoint everyone!"

He was jubilant, reminiscent of a young man attracting his first investment.

A thought suddenly arose in my mind. If Lu Jingcheng truly was as I imagined before, might this be the life I fantasized about?

After leaving the company, Lu Jingcheng took me for a Western meal, then to the city's most luxurious hotel, attending an upper-class cocktail party.

All of it seemed so surreal, yet left such a delightful aftertaste.

By nightfall, I finally returned home with Lu Jingcheng.

Upon returning, I instinctively opened the door and hurried inside to fetch his slippers.

However, he held onto me tightly, rolling us onto the sofa.

"An Xin, I really feel fortunate to be with you."

His voice was alarmingly gentle.

The more he acted this way, the more panic stirred within me.

What on earth could have caused him to become like this?

"You believe me, don't you? I truly love, love you so much. I really can't bear to lose you."

As he spoke, he hugged me even tighter.

I wanted to say something, but found it somewhat difficult to speak.

"You're holding me a bit too tight..."

I reminded Lu Jingcheng.

Yet he did not loosen his grip; rather, it became even tighter.

I realized something was wrong and tried to struggle.

It was only then he asked a question that made my hair stand on end.

"You saw that overseas medical report, right?"

Once he said those words, goosebumps ran all over me!
