Lu Wanggui was unbuttoning his sleeves when he heard this. He paused for a moment, then raised his head and smiled. “Do you want to go?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan once again felt that Lu Wanggui was a good person. He would respect her opinion and ask her if she wanted to go. She felt that if she said she didn’t want to go, he wouldn’t force her.

A mature man could handle things well.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was like this. If others treated her well, she would return the kindness, or even more.

Since Lu Wanggui respected her so much, she would definitely return the favor. She didn’t mind going, so she said, “Then let’s go. Didn’t Mr. and Mrs. Feng say that this dinner party is very important? I have time, depends on your schedule.”

“Okay.”

After Lu Wanggui unbuttoned his sleeves, he went to undo his tie and said in his usual tone, “If you need anything, just tell me. Or you could ask the butler and Assistant Gao.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Xiang Xiaoyuan thought for a while and asked, “Can you tell me what to pay attention to when attending this kind of banquet? I’m afraid that I’ll say something inappropriate and embarrass you.”

“You won’t.” Lu Wanggui looked at her. “What do you want to know?”

“About Shengkong Group. I looked it up online, but I didn’t find anything,” Xiang Xiaoyuan said casually. “I just heard some news but I don’t know if it’s true or not. It said that the original successor of the Sheongkong Group passed away at a young age. Now, the company is in the hands of his sister.”

Lu Wanggui stared into her eyes and walked over after thinking for a while, he sat next to her and said, “Yes, Shengkong Group is indeed in the hands of Zhong Qiyu. She’s very capable and has a good eye for projects. You don’t have to feel too much pressure. The Lu Corporation and Shengkong Group don’t have any business dealings.”

He paused for a moment and comforted her gently, “Don’t worry. You’re Mrs. Lu. No one will upset you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan felt great after hearing that

Was this how it felt like to be the wife of a CEO?

Lu Wanggui’s words sounded ordinary, but Xiang Xiaoyuan could still feel the extraordinary confidence and coolness from his calm tone. What he meant was, “Who would dare to upset his wife?”

At night, Xiang Xiaoyuan slept soundly, but Lu Wanggui could not fall asleep. He did not want to wake Xiang Xiaoyuan up, so he quietly got up from the bed.

He was a little troubled.

He went out to the balcony on the second floor. Lu Bei was encouraged by Xiang Xiaoyuan today, so he spent the whole night studying. It had been a long time since he had listened in class seriously. Even though he was a god of learning in junior high school, he had forgotten so much of his knowledge. He was struggling with the new content.

Unknowingly, he studied until late at night. He stretched and wanted to go downstairs to get some food, but he did not expect to see his father’s back as soon as he went out. He was a little curious, at this time, his father did not go to the study nor did he go upstairs. Instead, he stood at the balcony. What was he doing?

Lu Bei hesitated for a moment and tiptoed over. From a distance, he saw his father sitting on a chair on the balcony smoking. Lu Bei was surprised. As far as he knew, his father rarely smoked. Now that he thought about it, when his parents first got divorced, he didn’t even see his father smoke.

So what was going on now?

Lu Wanggui heard footsteps and looked over. His gaze was deep, and the cigarette between his fingers flickered.

“What’s the matter?” He asked in a low and hoarse voice.

Lu Bei shuddered and quickly shook his head. “Nothing.”

Lu Wanggui retracted his gaze and turned to the night sky. Occasionally, he would lazily tap the cigarette. Perhaps because he was too curious, Lu Bei did not leave after he was discovered. Instead, he walked over and leaned against the railing of the balcony.

His father looked a little upset. Was it because of work? It did not seem like it.

The father and son did not communicate the entire time. After smoking a cigarette, Lu Wanggui got up and allowed the night wind to blow away the tobacco smell on his body. He glanced at Lu Bei casually. “Still not sleeping? You’re not going to work tomorrow?”

Lu Bei: “…”

He rolled his eyes and decisively turned around to walk back to his room.

If his father was troubled, so be it. He did not care!

Even though the tobacco smell on his body was blown away by the wind, Lu Wanggui still went to take a shower before returning to bed. When he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan sleeping soundly without any worries, he thought of Shengkong Group and Zhong Huai.

It was strange.. He knew from the start that this would be troublesome, but he still got involved and married her, taking her under his wings.
