"Where''s Little Ci? Why didn''t she come?" Grandpa complained a bit from the back seat of Lu Yudong''s car.


    In Grandpa''s eyes, Jiang Ci was more like a child, and being with her allowed him to feel the joys of family life.


    "She''s at work. Grandpa, you wouldn''t want to disrupt your granddaughter-in-law''s job, would you?" Lu Yudong added, "This time, you can stay with me. I''ve arranged everything with the hospital and doctors. We have all the necessary medical facilities at home, so you don''t need to go to the hospital regularly."


    Lu Yudong''s car arrived at his residence, the Mid-Levels Villa, at four in the afternoon.


    Several housemaids came out to greet them, but Jiang Ci was nowhere to be seen.


    Lu Yudong frowned slightly and asked the maids, "Hasn''t Madam returned yet?"


    "Not yet. Should we call her?"


    Lu Yudong had already informed the maids about "Madam" last night, so they were prepared and handled it smoothly in front of Grandpa.


    "No need, don''t interrupt Little Ci''s work. She''ll be here after work. I''ll go unpack," Grandpa said.


    Lu Yudong glanced back discontentedly, but there was no sign of Jiang Ci.


    Instead, he saw another woman driving over.


    "Is it telepathy? You turned around, and here I am," Yin Xuemo asked Lu Yudong in a teasing tone as she got out of her car, just as Lu Yudong''s trunk was open, filled with Grandpa''s luggage.


    "I''ll do it. I''ll do it," Yin Xuemo eagerly offered to take down Grandpa''s luggage.


    Grandpa frowned slightly upon seeing Yin Xuemo, but being an intellectual, he said nothing.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    "Let the maids handle it," Lu Yudong said before entering the house.


    Clearly, Jiang Ci had thrown another curveball at him today.


    He was not happy.


    Yin Xuemo was already fawning over Grandpa, leading him to his room to rest.


    "Grandpa is tired and asleep," Yin Xuemo tiptoed out of Grandpa''s room.


    Lu Yudong sat on the sofa, lost in thought.


    About twenty minutes later, Jiang Ci rushed in, her face flushed, hair disheveled, looking as if she had just returned from a long journey.


    "Where''s Grandpa?" she asked immediately, not caring about Lu Yudong''s mood, only glancing at Yin Xuemo.


    Jiang Ci recognized her as the Yin Xuemo from the photos and the one her colleagues talked about.


    "In his room, first floor on the left. He''s asleep, so don''t disturb him," Lu Yudong said.


    It was Jiang Ci''s first time at Lu Yudong''s house, and he subtly guided her.


    Meanwhile, Yin Xuemo noticed the wedding photo of Lu Yudong and Jiang Ci on the wall.


    Her face turned pale instantly.


    "Why are you back so late?" Lu Yudong pulled Jiang Ci onto his lap, his lips naturally landing on her cheek.


    Yin Xuemo was also observing Jiang Ci: tall and slender, with flawless skin, large round eyes, a cute little nose, and cherry lips. Her features were delicate, and her hair was tied in a ponytail, giving her a youthful and vibrant look. Even without makeup, she was stunning.


    "And who is this sister?" Jiang Ci knew this woman was Yin Xuemo and understood that Lu Yudong was putting on a show for her, trying to make Yin Xuemo jealous. Jiang Ci was just a pawn in his game.


    Considering Lu Yudong couldn''t reach Jiang Ci by phone this morning, Jiang Ci cooperated willingly to appease his anger.


    Jiang Ci wrapped her arms around Lu Yudong''s neck, "I missed you too. Why are you back so late?"


    When Jiang Ci acted coy, she was very clingy, shaking Lu Yudong''s neck and speaking half-seriously.


    Her fresh scent wafted into Lu Yudong''s nose, making him feel so comfortable that he wished he could take her to bed right then.


    "Oh, by the way, you haven''t told me, who is this sister?" Jiang Ci glanced at Yin Xuemo.


    "Just an old friend."


    "Then, husband, I''ll go upstairs to put down my bag first." With that, Jiang Ci went upstairs, internally scoffing: An old friend?


    Who knows, Jiang Ci didn''t even know where Lu Yudong''s room was, but she pretended to be familiar with the house.


    The Mid-Levels Villa was so understatedly luxurious it was intimidating. Jiang Ci almost tripped on the stairs.


    "You''re married? You didn''t mention it last time," Yin Xuemo''s face was pale, forcing a smile.


    "You didn''t ask last time," Lu Yudong replied.


    Lu Yudong wasn''t sure what he was feeling. Perhaps Jiang Ci''s behavior this morning had left him very dissatisfied, so he used the pretense of making Yin Xuemo jealous to genuinely get close to Jiang Ci, planning to take it out on her later that night.


    "Is this your little wife?" Yin Xuemo asked Lu Yudong.


    Seeing the intimate scene between Jiang Ci and Lu Yudong, Yin Xuemo felt a surge of jealousy, wishing she could push Jiang Ci away and sit on Lu Yudong''s lap herself. But she had never sat on his lap before, and she wondered if they were putting on a show for her. Yet, it didn''t seem like it.


    "A wife is a wife, what''s with the ''little wife''?" Lu Yudong lit a cigarette, looking at Yin Xuemo with a hint of pride. "Is she good-looking?"


    Yin Xuemo tossed her head, not answering the question, only saying, "Your wife, your choice. I''m leaving."
