Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

Zhou Shuang ignored the incessant knocking. She stared at the TV, looking absorbed as she gobbled her dinner.

She knew that if she opened the door and allowed Lu Yinan to come in, then the first day of her new life would also be her last day.

She had to be firm and determined. She can't let her determination or heart waver.

"Shuang, I need the toilet. Can you just let me borrow your bathroom?"

Lu Yinan yelled again.

No matter what he said, Zhou Shuang remained nonchalant. But she had overestimated Lu Yinan's arrogance.

When he went to look for her in Country M, even when she was pregnant, he wasn't even this patient and determined. They bickered after exchanging a few words and they would both leave in anger.

Although he would always return to look for her after some time, this was the first time he had been so patient.

After dinner, Zhou Shuang drank two bottles of beer and began to feel tipsy. So, she didn't continue on.

After taking a shower, she changed into her pajamas and went into the room. She closed the door and Lu Yinan's voice became muffled and softer.

Zhou Shuang picked up her phone as she collapsed on her bed. Her eyes glistened when the screen lit up with the triplets' smiling faces.

She immediately changed her phone wallpaper.

Just like how a child would stop relying on his mother for breast milk, the triplets would be fine after some time. As long as they got used to not seeing her.

She wanted the children. But she also wanted to look for the real Zhou Shuang. She wanted to exude confidence and be able to accomplish something for herself.

She didn't want to pretend to be confident every day.

If she were truly capable and confident, she would set a good example for the children.

She had originally wanted to watch the news, but she seemed to have lost all interest. She picked up a book she brought back from the work studio earlier on. It was about photography and design.

If she wanted to set her mind on this career path, she needed to understand this field. That was how she would learn quickly.

She didn't want to while her days away at work. Even though Xuxu had introduced her to this job so she could have a change of environment, it didn't mean that she should take it lightly.

Zhou Shuang started reading the book as she made notes at the same time.

And soon, an hour went by. When she closed the book, she realized that she could still hear the knocking sounds.

It startled her. Was Lu Yinan insane? There must be something wrong with his brain.

Zhou Shuang cast her blanket aside and opened her door. Then she stepped into the living room.

She peeked through the peephole and saw Lu Yinan standing outside. He stuffed a hand inside his pocket while he knocked and pressed the doorbell with the other.

Zhou Shuang could tell that he was bent on getting her to open the door.

This fellow was really…

It rendered Zhou Shuang speechless. Weren't her neighbors around? Why didn't anyone step out to stop him?

She ignored him and turned around. She switched off the lights and pulled her blanket over her.

With the door closed and with a blanket over her head, Zhou Shuang couldn't hear Lu Yinan's voice or knocks anymore.

…

After knocking for nearly two hours, it exhausted Lu Yinan. He turned around and slumped against the door. The corners of his mouth sank that he looked depressed.
