The Wife Insists On Being My Top - Chapter 29

The moment she finished speaking, the cannon fodder regretted it. She saw the female lead looking at her with a heartbroken expression, both sad and angry.

But the female lead restrained herself, pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and composed herself for a moment. When she had calmed down, she looked at her again.

She seemed to want to say something, but then a voice came from outside, “Where are the people?”

It was the second-generation rich kid waking up.

Then came the sound of slippers stepping on the tile floor. “Hey, Wang, I told you not to leave.”

The cannon fodder also looked away, turning her back and sniffing. She felt her eyes might be red.

The second-generation rich kid said, “Are you two making out or… arguing?”

This was said to the female lead. The female lead said no and asked, “Have you eaten?”

She raised her chin. “Your wife had someone prepare food for me.”

The female lead nodded. “Are you staying here tonight? There’s a guest room upstairs.”

“Staying here?” She raised her voice in disgust. “Are you kidding? Why would I stay here?”

She was obviously trying to annoy people. In fact, the cannon fodder’s house was much more presentable than the Lu family’s.

Knowing it was a lie, the cannon fodder didn’t care. The female lead seemed used to her rudeness, nodded, and said, “Okay, then I’ll have someone take you back.”

As she spoke, she put a hand on her back to lead her out.

“Hey, wait! Actually, I think!”

“What?”

“Actually, I think staying here isn’t so bad.” She pulled her coat and said awkwardly, “Although your place is… indescribable, I can make do.”

“I’ll have the auntie prepare a room for you.” The cannon fodder looked away and went out.

Tonight was also a moonlit night with sparse stars. The bright waning moon hung in the sky, and if you looked closely, you could see the faint gray of the other half.

Lu Xiuchun came outside and looked at the unfamiliar number on her phone. She hesitated for a long time before pressing the call button.

“Hello, Mother, it’s me, Xiuchun.”

The person on the other end sneered, “It’s a rare sight, what do you want from me?”

“Xiuling said she wants to stay at my place tonight. Don’t worry, I’ll send her back tomorrow.”

“That dead girl, let her answer the phone.”

Lu Xiuchun looked through the glass. Her sister was lying on her side watching TV, and her wife was painstakingly peeling an orange for her, her whole face wrinkled from the effort.

Just as she was about to open the door and go in, she heard the person on the other end of the phone say, “Never mind, I’ll ask her myself later.” Then she hung up the phone.

Inside the glass, Lu Xiuling was oblivious, eating oranges without a care.

Lu Xiuling was spoiled and pampered, not only developing a lot of bad habits, but also being likable because she was immersed in love.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open to return to the living room.

Lu Xiuchun sat on the other side of the sofa, looking at her wife opposite her.

Her wife clearly felt the gaze but didn’t look up.

“Your relationship is really bad,” the girl eating oranges said casually. After speaking, she extended her hand as usual.

It was the last segment. This time, the cannon fodder didn’t hand over the orange but put it in her own mouth.

Her hands were sticky from peeling oranges. She wanted to use this as an excuse to go to the bathroom to wash her hands, but the girl stopped her. “Don’t go, peel another one for me.”

Her movements stopped, and the female lead said, “I’ll peel it for you.”

Hearing this, the cannon fodder continued walking.

She hid in the bathroom.

Lu Xiuchun’s movements were skilled and swift.

After peeling it, she split it in half, giving the larger half to the girl and eating a few small pieces herself.

The girl took it blankly, and after a moment, said, “Lu Xiuchun, why are you so eager to break away from the Lu family? Look at the woman you married, she’s good-looking, but she seems weak and useless, just like you.”

She spoke in a harsh tone.

The cannon fodder silently washed her hands. The sound of running water didn’t completely drown out the voices outside.

The female lead didn’t speak, she was peeling a second orange. The female supporting character, probably unwilling to give up, laughed and continued, “You two are a perfect match.”

Lu Xiuchun suddenly stood up.

The sudden height difference made Lu Xiuling subconsciously shrink back.

She looked at her timidly, and for a moment, she felt that Lu Xiuchun, who had been weak for more than twenty years, was emitting a dangerous signal.

But no, Lu Xiuchun just placed the peeled second orange in front of her, took a piece of paper, and then straightened up, wiping the orange juice off her fingers with the tissue, her movements slow and irritable.

“The food is in the refrigerator and cabinets,” she said. “The disposable toiletries are in the bathroom upstairs. Auntie lives in the innermost room on the first floor. If you need anything, you can find her.”

The used tissue was crumpled and thrown into the trash can.

As soon as the words fell, the cannon fodder clearly felt the female lead’s footsteps approaching her.

The next second, the female lead’s face appeared in the bathroom mirror. The faucet water was still washing her fingers. The female lead grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the bathroom. “We’re going to sleep now, make yourself at home,” she said to her sister.

The faucet was sensor-activated, and after running for a while, it automatically stopped.

Their departure made the already spacious living room even emptier. Lu Xiuling stretched her neck and watched their departing figures. After a moment of daze, she suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

She remembered the last time her third aunt came back and said they had a very good relationship, “They were secretly kissing behind people’s backs.”

“Kissing? Impossible, Third Aunt, are your eyes failing you?”

She scoffed, but her third aunt’s attitude was unusually firm. “You child, what are you talking about! I’m telling the truth! I saw it with my own eyes!”

Her mother probably realized something, pondered for a moment, and said, “She’s quite capable.”

“Impossible! Mom, didn’t they say they had no feelings and were just friends a while ago? How could they suddenly be—”

“That’s why I said she’s capable! Do you know your sister has become a vice president? Look at you, all you think about is eating, drinking, and having fun! You have no sense of propriety!”

“That’s not right… how is this possible…”

How is it possible…

A year ago, everyone said that with Lu Xiuchun’s background, even if she climbed up the social ladder, the Wang family wouldn’t look up to her after marriage. But not only did the Wang family look up to her, but they also heard that the person named Wang Luran was very fond of her. Later, they said they were just a fake couple, but before long, they were showing affection again.

This news made Lu Xiuling feel like she was crawling with bugs.

Showing affection my ass.

She didn’t like this news at all, she could even say she hated it.

So she tiptoed after them.

The room was specially chosen to be next to Lu Xiuchun and that woman’s room. She closed the door and put her ear to the wall—

Soon, she finally heard strange sounds coming from next door.

However…

The sounds weren’t coming from Lu Xiuchun.
