Chapter 42 Lu Siye: She Is My Wife, Not My Sister!
"Of course I welcome you, but what sister? Who is looking for me? Wife, I am completely innocent. Did you miss me?" The man's voice made Chu Wanning feel tingly all over; she truly had zero resistance against him!
"I did, otherwise why would I be here to pick you off work?" Lu Siye directly supported her buttocks, making the girl wrap her legs around his waist as he carried her toward the sofa.
The next second, a dense, eager, and fierce barrage of kisses fell upon her.
Chu Wanning's mind was completely blank. She—she didn't seem to have been starving him recently!
What, what was going on here?!
"Mmph, A-Yan, this..."
In the end, Chu Wanning collapsed in the man's arms, gasping heavily. With flushed corners of her eyes, she accused him, "This is an office! What if someone walks in?!"
"You are my wife!"
"I said I was your sister!"
Lu Siye raised an eyebrow. "Wanning likes this sort of thing? Then call me 'Brother', hmm?"
"Hmph!"
"We'll leave in a bit. I'll carry you to the lounge to rest for a while. You can't walk right now!"
Chu Wanning was just about to ask why when she immediately understood!
Not to mention that Lu Siye wouldn't want anyone else seeing her current state, she valued her own face, alright!
Lying on the bed, Chu Wanning fell fast asleep before long, and she had a dream—she dreamed of her mother.
Lu Siye called Lu Bei in and gave him a few instructions.
"Boss, there's something I'm not sure whether I should mention or not!"
Lu Siye gave him a look that implied he was being meddlesome.
"It's about Madam!"
"Speak!"
Lu Bei thought to himself: *...I knew it! I knew it!*
"Now the entire company knows you have a fairy-like sister! Which is Madam!" Lu Bei backed away as he spoke, his survival instinct kicking in at full throttle. But he knew that if he didn't say anything and Boss Lu found out later, he might actually be reassigned to Africa!
Lu Siye looked puzzled.
"The company group chat—you aren't even in it!" Lu Bei, acting as the most qualified chief assistant, naturally had to understand Boss Lu.
"Hand over your phone!"
Lu Bei obediently pulled it out!
Lu Siye took a glance at it. Heh!
Lu Bei: *I am Lu Siye, she is my wife, not my sister!*
Dead silence in the group chat!
After sending the message, Lu Siye tossed the phone right back to Lu Bei. "Very idle?"
Lu Bei bolted immediately!
Oh lord! Oh lord! Too terrifying!
The people in the secretary's office saw Lu Bei emerge with an expression of surviving a near-death disaster, assuming he had received another round of icy glares!
***
However, they didn't care about that; they needed to satisfy their gossip cravings. They stepped forward directly and asked, "Chief Assistant, do we have a President's wife now?"
Lu Bei immediately put on a stern expression.
"What, when the President himself clarifies it, could it possibly be fake?"
"Then—did President Lu give you back your phone?" a secretary boldly asked again.
In the face of gossip, everything else was just fleeting clouds.
"He gave it back!" With that, he walked away!
Thus, the company group chat exploded once more!
Those two receptionists also felt immensely fortunate that they hadn't acted foolishly, hadn't given the Madam attitude, and had performed so well!
Looking at their phones, they patted their pounding little hearts!
The next time Madam came, they would definitely be the most enthusiastic in welcoming her!
Besides, Madam was so gorgeous; she truly was President Lu's wife!
It was simply a match made in heaven!
***
When Lu Siye pushed open the door to the lounge, what met his eyes was Chu Wanning frowning deeply, looking distressed and uneasy.
He strode forward and whispered softly, "Wife, wife, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
He didn't know what she had dreamed about, but clearly, it wasn't anything good.
"No!" Chu Wanning bolted upright, beads of sweat still hanging on her forehead.
Turning her head and seeing Lu Siye, she threw herself directly into his arms.
"Hubby, I dreamed of my mother!"
For some reason, she suddenly thought of the Chu family.
Could her mother have been trapped in the Chu family all along? Otherwise, why couldn't she be found despite expending so much manpower and material resources?
As soon as this thought popped up, Chu Wanning immediately got out of bed.
"Hubby, are you done with your work? Will you accompany me back to the Chu family, please?" Chu Wanning asked anxiously.
"Let's go. I had already finished my work when I came in! We can go back now!"
Lu Siye knew Chu Wanning was anxious, so he drove at top speed while ensuring safety.
Chu Wanning even called Old A, but there were still no new discoveries on that end.
She decided to search for herself!
"Wife, don't worry! I've already sent Chuyang over, and he's carrying all the latest equipment. If there's any place resembling a secret room, it's impossible that he won't find it!" Lu Siye comforted her.
Chu Wanning wanted to slap herself; how could she have forgotten about that!
Yet, thinking of her grandfather's cautious nature, her heart rose into her throat once again.
Time in the car felt like years, but fortunately, they finally arrived!
Chuyang had already begun monitoring. This time, it wasn't just Villa Number Three; every single spot was going to be thoroughly inspected.
"Wife, would you like to sit down and think carefully? Did your mother ever mention anything during your childhood related to a secret room?" Lu Siye reminded her.
***
Chu Wanning wasn't sure if it was the original owner's lingering emotions at play, but her brain seemed to seize up when dealing with matters concerning her family.
She took a deep breath. "Right, thank you, hubby!"
She reminisced carefully, trying to fish out any clues from her memories.
In her memory, Chu Xi was a very gentle yet resilient person, though she would occasionally space out. Back then, Fang Hongying used to visit frequently, and sometimes she would even come when Chu Xi wasn't around. Thinking back on it now, Chu Wanning wished she could tear that pair of adulterers into a million pieces; they had been secretly collaving all along.
She had just received the appraisal report upon meeting Old A; the three-hour expedited results proved that Qiu Dian was indeed not her biological father.
Meanwhile, Fang Hongying was currently undergoing her first taste of retribution.
The people she had hired had been tailing her, unable to find an opening to strike, so they simply called her directly. To her surprise, things went so smoothly that she readily agreed to come to the location they provided.
Completely oblivious to the fact that these men had long since been terrified into switching sides, Fang Hongying didn't think much of it when she saw the address was an abandoned warehouse.
Her mind was entirely consumed by figuring out how to get these men to continue trying to assassinate Chu Wanning.
She had long since forgotten about that group of black-suited bodyguards!
She truly wondered if she was losing her mind as she grew older!
And her precious daughter hadn't even had the chance to tell her dear mother about Chu Wanning and Lu Siye.
Pushing open the warehouse doors, Fang Hongying still wore the arrogant posture of a wealthy matron.
She figured she came here because these people were simply unpresentable; if she were seen meeting them anywhere else, what would happen to her dignity?
What she didn't know was that coming here meant she might lose half her life—was her dignity even going to matter anymore?
"Are you all useless? I gave you so much money, and yet you still let that little bitch return to the Chu family safe and sound!"
Her opening words were full of mockery and attack.
The group of men stared at her fiercely, continuing whatever they were doing without moving an inch.
"I'll give you another 10 million! This time, I want her life directly! Did you hear me?!"
No response!
"Are you all mute?"
The leader of the group raised a hand to signal for her mouth to be blocked.
He felt that if this stinky woman spoke a few more words, they wouldn't even want to play with the free poultry delivered right to their doorstep!
Her mouth was better saved for other things later on.
Right now, the main priority was to make her understand her current situation.
Startled by their sudden movement, Fang Hongying stepped back repeatedly.
She picked up her bag and swung it around wildly!
The next second, a tight slap landed across her face, sending her crashing directly to the ground.
