The word 'husband' was filled with bitterness.
Everyone in Jiang Bei knew that Mrs. Lu, Song Wei, was notoriously unfavored and had an unhappy business marriage. After she married Lu Chengchen, he even bought a new home for his mistress. He did not care about her as his rightful wife and even refused to mention her name in front of the media.
This villa was where Lu Chengchen had always been after their marriage. Unfortunately, this warm abode only belonged to him and his beloved.
Song Wei placed her hand on Lu Chengchen's shoulder again and stared at him with her bright eyes. At the same time, there was another woman leaning on him.
Jiang Manxue's expression stiffened and she quietly sat up straight.
The moment Song Wei finished speaking, Lu Chengchen suddenly turned around and stared at her. His entire face was tense and his gaze was as deep as it could be, as if Song Wei had spat out words that were extremely insulting to him.
"Husband? Give birth? It seems like Miss Song is getting very comfortable in the position of Mrs. Lu?" His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he seemed to be gritting his teeth.
Song Wei smiled lightly and nodded. "Since I'm here, I might as well. Since I'm your Mrs. Lu, I'll definitely fulfill my duties, including helping your family have descendants."
She handled this situation with ease.
"Ha." Lu Chengchen sneered.
Song Wei felt that her face almost burnt through.
She had never been in such a sorry state before. She lowered herself to talk to him, only to be mocked and ridiculed by him.
"Chengchen, Miss Song is already here. You should persuade her to stop thinking about this matter." Jiang Manxue, who had been silent all this while, spoke gently. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes as she looked at Song Wei.
Although she was favored by Lu Chengchen, the title of Mrs. Lu never belonged to her.
"Persuade? Will she even listen?" Lu Chengchen's tone was irritated and impatient. He turned off the television and looked at Song Wei.
He was good-looking to begin with, and even when he was unhappy, his brows were still well angled. His slightly tilted face made his nose bridge look even taller, and his thin lips made him seem even more heartless.
He was really interesting.
Although he was clearly impatient, he still listened to Jiang Manxue's words to deal with her. It was as if they were the legally married couple and she was the shameless mistress who relentlessly pestered them.
Song Wei took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. She looked at Lu Chengchen and said calmly, "Old Master just wants to have a grandchild."
Lu Chengchen's grandfather, Lu Qiyuan, had told her this morning that if she could not give birth to a child, he would get Lu Chengchen to divorce her.
But at this juncture, she definitely could not divorce Lu Chengchen.
So she came to look for Lu Chengchen.
She needed a child to help her stabilize her position in the Lu family.
When Lu Chengchen heard that, he looked at her with a mocking gaze and scoffed in disdain. "Song Wei, we already agreed when we got married that we would divorce after three years according to the contract. Now, it's already been two years. We'll divorce sooner or later. Why do we need children?"
The man's cold and sarcastic gaze pierced into Song Wei's eyes and pierced her heart until it hurt.
"I know." Her voice became a bit more desolate.
Initially, there was a financial crisis, many enterprises went bankrupt and disappeared because of it. The Lu and Song family decided to form an alliance through a marriage union to resist the harsh winters of the market. The seniors of the two families were happy about the marriage, but as the protagonists, Lu Chengchen and her had different plans. In the end, they secretly agreed on a three-year divorce contract.
Three years was enough for the two companies to survive the harsh winter and stabilize themselves in Jiang Bei.
When the time came and the two of them divorced, Lu Chengchen would still be the head of the Lu family that all the big families in Jiang Bei wanted to have a marriage union with. Song Wei would still be the young princess of the Song family who had many suitors. The two of them would no longer have any relationship.
However, the reality was always unexpected. The Lu family had long survived this harsh winter, but the Song family suffered a disastrous fall and was still struggling at death's door.
It was also because of this contract that during these two years of her marriage with Lu Chengchen…
He never touched her.
