<h4>Chapter 48: On Fulfilling Marital Duties</h4>


    Rather than relying on others, it was better to make money and start a business. In the past, she did not understand why women who married into a wealthy family were still so restless. Rather than rxing and enjoying their fortune, they would start investing and open a shop, exhausting themselves.


    Now, she understood that marriage with a wealthy man was like a high-rise building without a foundation. It could copse at any time. If she did not save her life at this time, she would be smashed to death.


    Therefore, a woman still had to be rich!


    If she was rich, she would not be afraid!


    Even if one day Lu Wanggui really wanted to divorce her and take back all the assets that he had given her, she could still wave her hand and say, “I don’t need this little bit of money from you.”


    Xiang Xiaoyuan returned to the shop in high spirits. Seeing that the workers were almost done with their work, she suddenly remembered something. Should she start hiring?


    She turned on her phone and chose a tarot card to predict her future career. She chose one from the four options.


    [ Card C: Chariot ]


    [ Your career is going well recently. You will start a new project and many things will progress steadily. Don’t be afraid even if you run into trouble. There will be someone to solve it for you. Friendly Reminder: Please pay attention to the people around you. ]


    Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. That’s right, that’s right. The divination was right, her career had been very good recently!


    Butler Liu was a fan of the lottery. He would buy a raffle ticket and the lottery every week, but he had never won once. The vi’s servants knew that his luck was very bad, so they bought other numbers that he did not choose. One of them had even won two hundred or one thousand yuan several times.


    The vi’s servants jokingly called him a repent of luck.


    There were several bank cards in the safe in Lu Wanggui’s study. They were considered temporary backup cards. Today, he randomly took one out ording to Lu Wanggui’s instructions and gave it to Xiang Xiaoyuan, he just so happened to choose the one with the smallest bnce.


    It was normal for Lu Wanggui to be busy at work and not be at home. However, in the following days, the usuallyzy Xiang Xiaoyuan would leave early and returnte every day. Instead, the person who had the most free time at home was Lu Bei, who was on vacation.


    Ever since he was ‘educated’ by Lu Wanggui at the bar that day, Lu Bei had immediately be obedient. In the past, he would call his friends to mess around. Now, apart from having three meals a day, he would spend the rest of his time in his room and stay indoors.


    He was gradually behaving like an autistic child.


    There were more things to do in the early stages of opening a shop than Xiang Xiaoyuan had imagined. She was so busy that her feet did not stop moving. Sometimes, when Lu Wanggui came back from working overtime, Xiang Xiaoyuan was still working.


    The couple could only meet each other in bed. Xiang Xiaoyuan would be so tired that she would fall asleep immediately. At first, she was worried that Lu Wanggui would ask her to perform their marital duty. Of course, she did not resist in her heart. She assumed another person’s identity and took her money, so she should fulfill her obligations.


    If Lu Wanggui really had that request, she would not resist like a chaste woman. However, she still did not wish for such a thing to happen.


    She’d cross that bridge when ites to it. Anyway, judging from Lu Wanggui’s recent behavior, he did not seem to be interested in married life? He arrived home at 9:30 pm, washed up at 10:30 pm on time, and went to bed. He was quite well-behaved.


    This made Xiang Xiaoyuan sigh involuntarily. It was good to be old, he would not be so impulsive.


    Xiang Xiaoyuan did not know that when she was busy opening the shop, there was someone else who was tossing and turning in bed every night because of her, and that person was An Yu.


    It had been a week since the conversation in the car. An Yu could not sleep well every night. Fortunately, she did not need to go to school during the summer vacation. If she did not sleep well at night, she could sleep in the daytime. However, this kind of life where day and night were reversed could not be sustained for a long time. Even immortals could not bear it.


    Every time An Yu thought about her conversation with Xiang Xiaoyuan, she felt regret. She was too afraid that because of her, Xiang Xiaoyuan would be in a bad mood and target Lu Bei at home. She wanted to remind Lu Bei to pay more attention to his stepmother, but she was afraid that Lu Bei would ask too many questions and find out that she had said something she shouldn’t have said to Xiang Xiaoyuan that day. Then he might be angry at her and said that she was meddling in other people’s business.


    This matter had troubled her for too many days. She felt that if she didn’t resolve it soon, her mind would explode. So, on the day when her parents were not at home, she called Wei Zihang and asked him toe over for dinner.


    Wei Zihang purposely dressed up for this. He stroked his hair that was covered with a thickyer of wax. When he saw An Yuing over to open the door, he could not help but smile, “Why did you suddenly call me over for dinner? Do you miss me because you have not seen me for a long time? Eh? Brother Bei did note?”


    An Yu lowered her eyebrows. “I didn’t call him.”


    Wei Zihang scratched his head. “That’s weird. I am not used to not having him around.”


    “Wei Zihang, do you still remember that night when we went to the Spring Banquet Bar and Lu Bei’s stepmother sent me home?” Seeing that the servants were busy and no one was paying attention to them, An Yu gritted her teeth and said, “Ever since that time, I haven’t been able to sleep well.”


    Wei Zihang: “? ? ?”
