Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

He swore and curse inwardly.

In his spacious office, it was dead quiet. And the silence was stifling him.

He pulled his chair and pulled out an exquisite metal case from his drawer. He opened it and retrieved a cigarette. After lighting it up, he took a deep puff.

The smoke enveloped his face and he looked exceedingly gloomy.

'If that's the case, don't ever appear in front of the children again…'

'Alright.'

Zhou Shuang's voice rang inside Lu Yinan's mind. That cold-looking figure.

Her response was like a knife stabbing right through his heart.

Why would there be such a callous woman alive?

Was her love for the children all fake?

She should at least have hesitated because of the children. What compelling reason did she have for her to insist on leaving?

Did she meet a new guy? Or the Lu family had ill-treated her?

Or perhaps she bore a grudge against him for forcing himself upon her?

No, no, no. That was merely a trigger.

In these four years, she was already nonchalant towards him with hardly any affection.

When he brought her back with him when she was pregnant, their relationship had visibly improved during that period.

They watched movies, went shopping, and even had meals together. Sleeping together at night was common, too.

When she was bored, she would make her way to the hospital to wait for him to end work. Sometimes, she would bring along some food as well.

"These are the dumplings from the famous restaurant. I waited a long time for it."

"It's so oily and greasy."

"It's for you. If you don't like it, then don't eat it."

"I thought these are for me? Why are you eating?"

"Stop nagging. I shall not bring food for you in the future."

"You're a woman. Stop eating so much. You will be fat and clumsy after you give birth."

"That has nothing to do with you!"

"If you aren't the mother of my children, I wouldn't even have bothered."

"Tch!"

"It's the last one. Do you want it?"

"Let's eat half each."

It was as though he had opened the box of memories by accident. Lu Yinan smiled gently to himself—unknowingly—as his eyes turned tender.

After the children were born, her attitude took a drastic change. It was sudden and unfathomable.

She didn't talk to him at all for the entire month. She seemed gloomy all day long and didn't respond to him at all. Only when Wen Xuxu came to visit her would she look slightly happier.

Initially, he thought that she had postnatal depression. But judging from her other actions and behavior, she seemed normal.

She was perfectly normal towards the children and Wen Xuxu.

She was only cold to his mother and himself.

She was at least polite to his mother and grandfather. But she treated him as a total stranger.

The triplets were a handful. They had to hire two nannies and roped in their grandmother, Chen Anyun, to help.

They all slept together in the nursery.

Zhou Shuang moved out from their room to the room she had stayed when she first arrived at their place.

When he went to look for her, she had rejected her. Then he got busy that he didn't pay much attention to her.

And their relationship did improve slightly, but she never came to the hospital ever again.

She merely stayed in her room. Every time he tried to look for her, she would deliberately avoid him.

Until now, he still couldn't understand why.

He assumed that her heart wasn't with him. If it was, why did she avoid him?
