Wen Li noticed Lu Beichuan's gaze, and the blush on her face grew deeper and deeper. She lowered her head to hide her shy smile and explained.

"Jingyang accidentally spilled some paint just now, and it got on my clothes. Sister Anxia was afraid that it would be hard to wash off, so she took her own clothes down and let me change into them first."

Lu Beichuan's brows were knitted together, his face was ashen, and his good mood after just getting home was completely ruined by this accident.

"By the way, I didn't know you were from Jingyang..."

Wen Li only knew that An Xia was Lu Jingyang's sister, and she didn't know anything else. She looked at the man in front of her, who was wearing a black suit, and was noble and cold in his every move. His mature temperament captured people's hearts even more. His deep facial features were somewhat similar to Lu Jingyang.

"Uncle?" Wen Li asked tentatively.

Lu Beichuan's expression suddenly became even uglier.

Call Anxia sister and call him uncle?

Blind?

According to their household registration books, they are only six years apart in age.

"I am Jingyang's brother."

"Oh." Wen Li nodded repeatedly, feeling a little embarrassed about her previous guess about "super generational increase".

The blush on Wen Li's face did not fade, and she pursed her lips, looking very shy like a little girl. She hooked the hair that fell on her temples and asked with a shy smile.

"I'm about the same age as Sister Anxia, ​​and should be younger than you. So from now on I'll call you brother just like Jingyang." Wen Li analyzed herself and took the initiative to get closer to him.

Lu Beichuan frowned and glanced at Wen Li. Then he raised his hand and unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt.

Out of the corner of her eye, Wen Li noticed the plain platinum ring on his ring finger, which had no extra design, and her face turned pale.

"You call her sister," Lu Beichuan glanced at the upstairs calmly, "then you should call me brother-in-law."

A look of surprise flashed across Wen Li's pale face.

Are he and An Xia husband and wife?

But why does Anxia have a wedding ring on her hand?

And why didn't this family have a wedding photo? Not even a photo of the couple together.

Is this a couple?

Lu Beichuan ignored her and went upstairs.

An Xia had returned to the bathroom to continue washing Wen Li's skirt, but the dark paint had seeped into it and it couldn't be washed clean no matter how hard she tried.

I guess I'll have to pay for the skirt according to its price.

Her fingers were swollen from rubbing, so An Xia simply gave up and prepared to go downstairs to tell Wen Li. When she turned around, she was met with Lu Beichuan's direct gaze.

Disgust suddenly rose in my heart.

"You haven't contacted me for so many days since you were away on business?" Lu Beichuan saw the disgust in An Xia's eyes, but he just thought it was her jealous reaction after seeing him hug Wen Li by mistake.

After all, the lovemaking she cooperated with in the master bedroom a week ago was enough to prove that she was not completely indifferent to him.

An Xia ignored him, turned sideways, and walked out directly past him.

Lu Beichuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and reached out to hold her.

"I was wrong just now." He took the initiative to explain: "She was wearing your clothes. I didn't know you had hired a teacher."

An Xia didn't care. She turned back and looked at him with a cold look in her eyes: "Let go."

Only then did Lu Beichuan realize that something seemed to be wrong with An Xia.

"what happened to you?"

"It's nothing, don't touch me." An Xia really didn't want to waste time talking to him.

Whenever she saw his face, An Xia would think of her father lying lifeless in the intensive care unit.

If he hadn't been acting sanctimonious all these years, pretending to be kind and generous, perhaps his father would have woken up two years earlier.

That suspicion was confirmed.

Lu Beichuan held her wrist even tighter: "What are you throwing a tantrum about?"

It was clearly just a normal question but when I said it out loud it somehow took on a different meaning.

Lu Beichuan realized it, but didn't want to change.

Because in his opinion, An Xia was just throwing a tantrum unreasonably.

Knowing that it was his fault for leaving in a hurry without telling her that morning, he later asked Xiao Ming to buy so many things to give to her.

He had originally planned to send them together after returning from his business trip, but he was afraid that An Xia would be too angry, so he asked Xiao Ming to express it to Tianzhu Garden first.

This was the first time in their three years of marriage that he bought her so many gifts. He rushed back exhausted, and it was fine that he didn't receive any caring comfort and care, but now he had to endure her slapping face?

An Xia stared at the hand that was tightly holding hers with annoyance, and all the irritable and sad emotions in her heart seemed to be pulled up at this moment.

Want to explode.

But I still endured it.

"Jingyang and Teacher Wen are still downstairs. I don't want to argue with you now." An Xia took a deep breath and finally said, "Let go."

Lu Beichuan's eyebrows twitched.

He didn't hold on for long before choosing to let her go.

She was right, there were outsiders at home. Lu Beichuan did not have the habit of showing the turmoil at home to outsiders.

But the doubts in his heart still remained. Looking at An Xia's back as she walked down the stairs, Lu Beichuan's eyes darkened.

She seemed to be more than just angry now.

The most violent tantrum she made was when she agreed to divorce.

But she was just angry and disappointed that time, and no matter how much she vented, the words she said were no different from a child throwing a tantrum.

But this time...

Lu Beichuan turned around irritably, preparing to go back to the master bedroom to have a good rest and adjust his state, and then have a good talk with An Xia after the female teacher left.

But as soon as I returned to the master bedroom and saw the king-size bed, the scene of us making love on it a week ago came to my mind clearly.

It was clear that An Xia's attitude had softened that night.

I was still acting like a spoiled brat and getting angry with him in the morning.

How come after just a week of not seeing her, her temper changed so drastically, as if all those warm times never existed?

Even the way she looked at him became much colder.

It's not like looking at a husband, nor is it like looking at an acquaintance, but more like looking at a...

Disgusted strangers.

After coming to this conclusion, Lu Beichuan's face turned even paler.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Xiao Ming's number directly.

He just landed.

"Has anything happened these days?"

Xiao Ming took the checked luggage and said, "No. The young lady just hired a tutor to come to Tianzhu Garden to teach the second young master."

The more Xiao Ming said this, the more suspicious Lu Beichuan felt.

Since everything was peaceful and calm and nothing had happened, why did An Xia's temperament suddenly change?

She has never been such an unreasonable person, there must be some reason.

Just as I was wondering, Xiao Ming's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly trembled.

"Mr. Lu."

"explain."

"The dean of Xinkang sent a message saying that the young lady is preparing to complete the discharge procedures for Mr. An..."

Xiao Ming was a college classmate of Lu Beichuan. They had a good relationship at that time, so he knew a little about what happened in Lu Beichuan's family in those years and knew what An Jianguo meant to the Lu and Ming families.
