Chapter 20: Lu Siye: Darling, the Qipao is too short!-Mimada ao Extremo! Depois de Renascida, Fico Indomável nos Braços do Senhor Lu(Ser uma pessoa tranquila)

The entire staff of the estate—the servants, the bodyguards, even the gatekeepers—came to help, yet it still took over three hours to sort and organize the items from the shipping container.

One truck was nowhere near enough; just the high-tech equipment filled an entire vehicle. Old A urgently arranged two more trucks, and only then were they able to load up everything that Wan Ning Chu intended to bring back to the Lu family estate.

“Uncle A, I appreciate your trouble here. Also, please look into the business and financial status of the Chu Corporation over the past few years,” Wan Ning Chu said as she leaned one hand casually on the window frame of her Koenigsegg One:1, her beauty radiant and dazzling.

“Certainly, Miss Ning. Please take care on your way!” Old A replied respectfully.

The next moment, the car drove out of the estate, followed closely by three large trucks laden with goods.

Wan Ning Chu had to get ahead to inform Uncle Lu and arrange for the unloading.

At Lu Corporation, Bei Lu had already been scolded three times that morning. At this moment, he deeply longed for his wife. As long as she was around, Master Lu would never lose his temper. Life would be pleasant for a couple of days. Returning abruptly to that cold, distant demeanor was almost unbearable!

Si Yan Lu rarely glanced at his phone while working, but today he kept picking it up, hoping to see something he wanted, yet found nothing.

As an extremely competent assistant, Bei Lu naturally knew what Master Lu was thinking. He even wanted to call his wife to send Master Lu a message.

“Lu Bei!”

“Present, Sir. What are your instructions?”

“What’s the schedule for this afternoon?” Si Yan Lu said this with eyes slightly narrowed, as if ready to tear Bei Lu apart at a single wrong word.

“There are three meetings this afternoon!” The moment the words left his mouth, the office atmosphere plummeted with cold. Bei Lu hurriedly added, “But I can assist you so you can get home early to dine with Madam.”

After speaking, Bei Lu wiped his forehead, which wasn’t even sweaty. He was terrified!

Master Lu was definitely more terrifying now than before his wife had returned!

“Very well, I appreciate your efforts. This month’s bonus is doubled. I’m heading home!”

He said this, stood up, and left, a faint smile curving the corner of his lips.

Bei Lu stared at the imposing figure already at the door, feeling utterly helpless.

In the past, Master Lu never left him to return home alone—after all, he was not only assistant but also driver!

Why was he leaving today?

Checking the time, Bei Lu grabbed his folder and walked toward the conference room, comforting himself as he went: The bonus increased this month; Master Lu is happy; he has his wife now!

See? All good things!

He was willing to work overtime alone because making the boss happy meant the wallet was happy, and when the wallet was happy, he was happy!

Saving up for his wife!

Meanwhile, Si Yan Lu was speeding down the road toward home. Upon arrival, he noticed three large trucks in the courtyard.

Butler Lu Feng was efficiently directing the scene, while Wan Ning Chu was seriously instructing the servants.

At that moment, Si Yan Lu felt displeased—he was home, yet his wife hadn’t noticed him.

Getting out of the car, he deliberately slammed the door a little louder.

Since his wife was busy, he decided to give a reminder!

Unbeknownst to him, Wan Ning Chu didn’t hear a thing.

She was instructing others to find the safety talisman painted by Master Seven!

This talisman was crucial for Si Yan Lu’s safety; it could not be taken lightly.

The butler was the first to notice Si Yan Lu.

“Master Lu, you’re home so early today? Madam is busy organizing things!” Lu Feng raised his voice noticeably, finally alerting Wan Ning Chu.

She turned her head, spotted Si Yan Lu, and ran over with bright, fox-like eyes full of joy, a smile lifting her lips. “A Yan, you’re back!”

Wan Ning Chu threw herself into the man’s arms, her delicate face pressed against his chest, her heart pounding wildly, each beat a balm to her soul.

“A Yan, Master Seven sent me a lot of things. I’m tidying them up! Want to come see them with me?”

The girl eagerly wanted to show off, desperate to share with Si Yan Lu.

Si Yan Lu’s large hand slid around her slender waist as he leaned down and whispered, “Wife, your qipao is too short.”

Damn! Wan Ning Chu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled coquettishly. “But isn’t it beautiful?”

Indeed it was—so beautiful that Si Yan Lu wanted to keep it all to himself.

“If you wear it that short, it’s only for me to see!”

Wan Ning Chu thought, maybe I should just tear it for you! But she still nodded in agreement.

“All right, let’s go. Help me find a box of talismans—Master Seven’s gift, and there’s one for you!” Wan Ning Chu said, pulling him into the pile of goods.

“Ah!” she suddenly exclaimed. “A Yan, are you my little lucky star? As soon as you arrived, I found it after searching for a while!”

Lu Feng quickly chimed in, “I can attest to that, Master Lu. Madam had been looking for this for quite some time. She said it’s for you!”

Hearing this, Si Yan Lu’s lips twitched into a barely perceptible smile, his eyes full of tenderness as he drew her closer. “Thank you, wife.”

Wan Ning Chu opened the box, golden and radiant inside, filled with a profound sense of security.

She located a small, separate box with Si Yan Lu’s name written on it and took it out.

Master Seven was meticulous to the point of obsession—everything was perfectly arranged and thoughtfully equipped with waterproof bags and chains.

She took out a talisman, slipped it into its bag, attached the chain, and hung it around Si Yan Lu’s neck.

He could have just slipped it in his pocket, but she wanted absolute certainty.

“A Yan, you must never be without this in the near future,” Wan Ning Chu said seriously, her expression grave and solemn, completely devoid of her usual playful demeanor.

Si Yan Lu knew how important this was to her and nodded, “Okay, I’ll always listen to my wife.”

With the most urgent matter resolved, they could now unpack the rest with peace of mind.

Wan Ning Chu led Si Yan Lu, introducing each item and instructing the servants where to place them.

“So, A Yan, isn’t it impressive? In the next couple of days, I’ll upgrade the estate’s security system, as well as the car’s and the training base’s. I am quite amazing, right?” Wan Ning Chu said with a coquettish raise of her brow, practically begging for praise on her face.

She wasn’t worried that Si Yan Lu knew about her mentors—there was more than one—but if he didn’t ask, she wouldn’t volunteer the information. To her, these things were nothing special.

Si Yan Lu, though curious about her masters, refrained from pressing. Everyone had their secrets. When the time was right, he would share his with her, and he trusted she would do the same.

For now, they only needed to enjoy each other’s company and offer mutual trust.

“You’re amazing, wife. Looks like you really mean it when you say you want to protect me! Thank you!” Si Yan Lu said tenderly.

“No need to thank me. You can show your gratitude in another way. As for how, that’s for you to figure out!” Wan Ning Chu teased playfully.

Afterward, everyone worked quickly, and before dinner, they finally sorted and stored the contents of the three trucks.

“Husband, did you secretly ask my godmother about my favorite dishes yesterday? I really like the meal you prepared tonight! I’ll make sure to eat more!”

Si Yan Lu gently stroked her head and replied softly, “Mm, from now on, I’ll cook for you myself.”

Wan Ning Chu’s fox-like eyes widened in surprise; she hadn’t expected that. Her mouth was full, so she could only nod in eager anticipation.

They enjoyed a happy dinner, but even after the meal was finished, Si Qing Lu still hadn’t returned home.

At that moment, Si Yan Lu’s phone rang.
