Mr. Lu, a famous person in Kyoto, is handsome and noble, cold-hearted and has never cared about anyone in his life.
It wasn't until I was 25 that I met 18-year-old Zhou Tao.
At first glance, he just thought she was a pretty girl, prettier than any other girl he saw in his daily life.
But he seemed to have no emotions, and didn't care about her beauty.
He was not familiar with Zhou Tao, and he didn't know that the old man asked her to come over to bring them together.
Two years later, Zhou Tao reached the legal age for marriage. The old man seemed to like her very much, so he called him over and asked him to marry Zhou Tao.
In the past two years, Zhou Tao did often go in and out of the Lu family mansion, but she was not very courageous and did not dare to do anything in front of him. Most of the time, she just secretly glanced at him from a distance.
His father had no ambition to go into business, so after he became an adult, he was the one who was in charge of almost all of Lu's businesses.
He is a man of final say in the Lu family. Apart from the old man who has the final say in front of him, no one can order him to do anything.
He has never been interested in women, and he didn't have much contact with the beautiful girl Zhou Tao.
When the old man asked them to get married, his first reaction was resistance.
The old man claimed to be ill and if he didn't get married, he might pass away. He had no choice but to marry Zhou Tao.
What he didn't know was that Zhou Tao thought he was willing to marry her.
Therefore, his neglect after marriage made her fall from heaven to hell, leaving her puzzled.
If you were to ask him when he first fell in love with Zhou Tao, it would probably be that rainy day.
It was summer and there were many thunderstorms. The old man called and said it was Zhou Tao’s birthday. He almost commanded him to go back and be with Zhou Tao.
I had been in meetings all day and was already feeling depressed. When I opened the door, it was raining heavily outside.
Perhaps she didn't expect him to come back. She was wearing white pajamas, with her long hair loose, sitting cross-legged on the carpet. In front of her was a small cake with a candle on it.
There was no light in the room, only the faint light from the candle reflected on her face.
For some reason, at that moment, his heart seemed to be hit hard, and he stood at the door for a while.
Because of the thunder and lightning, she didn't notice the door opening or his return.
She seemed afraid of the thunder and lightning. There was a crackling sound outside, and her hand holding the fork shook, and the fork fell on the carpet.
She grumbled and took another handful.
Cute is the only word that comes out from the bottom of his heart.
He was stunned by such an adjective and then shook his head.
She ate the cake bite by bite, poured a glass of red wine and took two sips. Perhaps she had a low alcohol tolerance and became drunk after just a few sips.
She started to curse, and it was cute even though she cursed.
She scolded him, Lu Wenzhou, what's so great about you, huh, you're married but you don't come home all day, that's nothing, if you're so reluctant, why did you get married, what kind of person are you.
He walked slowly closer and came to her side.
She was so guilty that she loosened her grip and the wine glass fell to the ground. Her face flushed and her eyes were misty.
If he wasn't so ambitious, perhaps that day would have been a turning point in their marriage.
But no, he was used to being superior, and he did not change the way he treated her because of the cuteness she showed.
In fact, because of various misunderstandings, she gradually gave up on him.
For two years, from his perspective, this marriage was in name only.
There were several times when he wanted to change himself, but... he didn't know how to change.
As a result, this marriage is falling apart.
I will update some extra chapters about Lu Erye and Zhou Tao. They are very short, with a maximum of 5,000 words.
I will update a few chapters later about Nan Li and Qiao Qiao’s post-marriage story.
If you have any plot you want to see, you can mention it. Or if you think there is something I haven’t filled in, you can tell me. After all, it’s been too long, and I may have overlooked some plots.
The extra chapter is very short, about 10,000 words, and then it's really over.
