Chapter 977
Marital Affairs
It was late at night.
At this moment, the entire Lu family manor had fallen silent.
Only the largest bedroom on the second floor had a faint light shining through the curtains behind the window.
Lu Yang finished his second shower.
He walked out of the bathroom, revealing his eight-pack abs and wearing only a white bathrobe wrapped around his waist.
Yin Mingyue was leaning lazily against the headboard, her eyes glazed over as she watched the man emerge from the bathroom.
Lu Yang's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a hint of smugness, "Do you want me to carry you to take another bath?"
Yin Mingyue shook her head and said softly, "I'm not going to wash anymore. I've already washed before anyway. I'll wash again when I get up tomorrow morning."
This sweat is all gone, even if I wash it off!
Knowing this man as she does, she'll definitely try something bad later.
She didn't want to move a single finger.
As he spoke, he began to slide down, resting his head on the pillow in preparation for sleep.
Lu Yang chuckled twice, lifted his bathrobe, and moved closer, grinning mischievously, "Who was so proactive just now? I thought my wife was planning a second round tonight. What, you've already given up?"
After hearing this, Yin Mingyue...
She said coquettishly, "What are you saying? I didn't say anything."
She absolutely refused to accept it.
As he spoke, he simply buried his head in the blanket, refusing to listen ...!
Lu Yang certainly didn't really intend to do anything to her.
He knew very well how strong his body was.
We can't be too indulgent.
You need to take it easy.
After all, she's his wife, so he has to take good care of her.
Yes, he was a little curious, as his wife had never been so proactive before.
Even if someone takes the initiative once or twice, there must be other reasons.
I remember last time, I clearly refused my mother-in-law's attempt to match me with my sister-in-law, who is her older sister, and that woman, Yin Mingzhu. My mother-in-law has been subtly implying that she doesn't object to the marriage between Ehuang and Nüying and even intends to help them get together.
However, he certainly wouldn't agree and immediately and righteously refused.
This dispelled my mother-in-law's unrealistic idea.
That night, my wife was particularly proactive.
Now, today, and why?
Nothing special happened today.
It was just the family, plus a few relatives and friends they'd known for decades, all getting together for a meal. Although Sister Wei Shu and Da Jun's wife Xiao Xiao didn't get along, that was between their old classmates. As for the old grudges between Mother-in-law Ma Xiulan and her own mother Ye Qiuyu, they weren't really worth mentioning. They all knew they didn't like that kind of thing, so they wouldn't say anything to each other's faces to their faces. At the very least, they could maintain a semblance of harmony.
It's not her mother.
It's not my mom either.
It's even less likely that Wei Shu and Xiao Xiao, these old classmates and mortal enemies, would be the pair.
Who is it that influenced my wife to become so proactive tonight?
It was as if they knew what Lu Yang was curious about.
Although Yin Mingyue buried her head in the quilt, she still whispered the truth, "I... I just think that your decision not to close the study door tonight was very gentlemanly. It respected Manager Niu and also respected me as the lady of the house. I... I really like it."
That's what happened.
Lu Yang suddenly realized, and chuckled, "Just because of such a small thing?"
Isn't it normal to meet with a female subordinate alone, especially at home or in a study—such a private setting—with the door wide open?
We need to make sure everyone can see it!
It protected her.
It protected me too!
How did I manage to move my wife so suddenly?
Lu Yang was initially puzzled, but the next moment, he was secretly alarmed.
It turns out that my wife is already so insecure.
Who exactly caused this?
It's him!
That's right, it's this unfaithful man who has made his wife feel increasingly insecure over the years.
Yin Mingyue was simply naive and kind, not stupid. Over the years, she had never bothered with Lu Yang's romantic entanglements.
But that doesn't mean she was completely unaware of those things.
However, she has a bottom line.
In this home, her status as the lady of the house is not to be challenged or even tested. Even the slightest feeling of being disrespected can easily trigger her sensitive nerves.
I've figured this out.
Lu Yang's face was filled with shame.
He whispered, "I'm sorry, honey, I've made you suffer."
Yin Mingyue shrugged her fragrant shoulders, which had slipped off the covers.
There was no sound.
But Lu Yang still heard a faint sobbing sound coming from inside the blanket.
My wife is crying.
His mind went blank for a moment, and he felt even more ashamed.
At this moment, I was at a loss.
I wanted to offer comfort, but I didn't know how to start. My hand, which I instinctively reached out, only went halfway before I stopped, unsure of what to do next.
Wrong is wrong.
If explanations were effective, what would be the point of having police?
Yes, from his own perspective, he simply made a mistake that all men make.
They didn't stay together until the end.
Instead, he divided his heart into several parts and gave them to different women.
He could understand when his wife was sad, upset, or even hated him.
However, some things, once done, cannot be undone.
That broken heart has been given to different women, and there is no way to put it back together.
It's dirty, that's all.
Even if it's broken and then put back together, the gaps will still remain.
Besides, he may have wronged the woman in front of him, but at the same time, could he have been fair to other women?
Now that things have come to this point, no matter who he gives up, he will feel reluctant and will deeply hurt the other person.
but,
My wife is crying so sadly now.
Why don't you lie first?
Even worse, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
They can still live in peace now because the shameful things Lu Yang did have never been truly exposed between them. Yin Mingyue knew that he must have women outside, but who exactly? She had suspicions, but never really investigated.
Many forces and individuals have tried to present evidence to her, but she has ignored them all.
She was well aware of the sinister intentions of this group.
Some people hope she will cause a scene, preferably disrupting the peace at home, so that her husband will be distracted and unable to attend to his work, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Some people hope that she will cause a scene and be abandoned by Lao Gong, or that she will take the initiative to file for divorce and give up the title of Mrs. Lu, so that these vixens will have the opportunity to take her place.
In short, none of them had good intentions.
Yin Mingyue buried her head in the blanket and silently shed tears, but she could still sense the commotion outside.
My husband is sighing!
So, my husband must feel sorry for me, right?
Not wanting to put Lu Yang in a difficult position, she explained that she had just gotten emotional and a little carried away, but she was much better now. So she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and lifted the blanket.
She turned around, looked at Lu Yang with her still somewhat red eyes, and bit her lower lip, saying, "I want you to make it up to me."
Lu Yang stared at her in astonishment.
Subconsciously, he blurted out, "I can give you anything you want, honey. Can you please stop crying? I...it hurts me."
Yin Mingyue burst into laughter through her tears.
At this moment, further words were pointless; she simply uttered two words: "Fool."
Then, she leaned in, determined to take the initiative again.
Asking for money, asking for a house... those are all too vulgar.
She wanted the whole person. (End of Chapter)
