I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Did I Wake You Up?
Men could use a woman’s guilt to achieve their goals, so she could also use Lu Wanggui’s guilt to gain some benefits for herself.

However, she was not sure if Lu Wanggui, who had been in society for so long and was already an old fox, would feel guilt…

What if he felt that he was not wrong? What if he was like other men and felt that Jiang Yan’s behavior wasn’t wrong and that she shouldn’t make it a big deal?

No matter what, Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t want to let go of this opportunity! Even if he wasn’t, she had to force him to be!

When she returned to the bedroom, she found that Lu Wanggui wasn’t in the master bedroom. Xiang Xiaoyuan guessed that he had gone to the study to handle some business. She took her pajamas from the closet and some flower petals. After a busy day, she wanted to take a good bath to relieve her fatigue.

The bathroom of this villa was very large. The bathroom of the master bedroom alone was more than 20 square meters. Xiang Xiaoyuan lay in the bathtub and watched TV while taking a bath. She was living like a god. Perhaps this was also the reason why she hadn’t divorced Lu Wanggui.

This villa was too comfortable to live in!

She soaked herself until she was filled with the fragrance, and her skin was fair and tender. She walked out of the bathroom in a mist.

At this moment, Lu Wanggui was lying on his side on the bed, looking at his phone. After observing him for a while, Xiang Xiaoyuan realized that Lu Wanggui was reading on his phone while she was playing on her phone…

The difference of one word was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Xiang Xiaoyuan sat in front of the dressing table, taking care of her skin while sneaking a glance at him from the corner of her eye. Lu Wanggui remained expressionless and calm. He didn’t even look embarrassed, let alone guilty!

Xiang Xiaoyuan patted some toner on her face. Maybe this was the steadiness of a mature man.

Maybe it was because she was more familiar with Lu Wanggui now, or maybe it was just pure mischief. For the first time today, Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t lie down and fell asleep immediately. Instead, she tossed and turned on the bed. Every time the man beside her breathed a little more steadily, she deliberately turned over to make some noise.

After a few times, Lu Wanggui noticed her little trick.

However, he did not make a sound. He used the darkness to hide the smile on his face. He even turned his head to the side and asked calmly, “Can’t sleep? Are you too tired today?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”

She deliberately said in an apologetic tone, “Maybe. Did I disturb your sleep? I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.” Lu Wanggui’s voice was low. “Since you can’t sleep, do you want to talk?”

In the darkness, Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed. “Actually, I’m not that tired. I just don’t know if Lu Bei’s aunt will misunderstand me. I really didn’t know that she would come today. If I knew, I wouldn’t have let Lu Bei have dinner with us. Would she be angry with me since I let her wait at home alone for so long?”

The bed was very big, and there was a large gap between Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui. However, the air was too quiet at this moment. It was so quiet that Lu Wanggui’s hoarse and deep voice sounded as if his breath had landed beside her ear. “No.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was puzzled. “Huh?”

Lu Wanggui patiently added, “It doesn’t matter if she’s angry or not. You don’t have to care about her.”

“But…”

Xiang Xiaoyuan hesitated. “She’s Lu Bei’s aunt after all, and she even called you brother-in-law. It makes sense for me to have a good relationship with her, right? Moreover, she really cares about Lu Bei. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have remembered that he likes to eat dumplings.”

Lu Wanggui explained, “There’s no need to build a good relationship with her. Lu Bei doesn’t have a good relationship with her.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed regretfully. “Really? I was thinking that when we have a good relationship in the future, we can discuss stocks together.”

That’s right, this was Xiang Xiaoyuan’s ultimate goal.

Before she transmigrated into the novel, she had already been very interested in the stock market, but she didn’t dare to touch it. The news that broke out on the internet frequently was that some stock investors had gone bankrupt and were forced to jump off a building. It was enough to suppress her interest.

But now, the situation was different. She had a stock market expert lying beside her. With him by her side, she would not be forced to jump off the building, right?

She had been interested in the stock market before, but no one around her understood it, so no one could guide her. If Jiang Yan had not mentioned the stock market today, she would have forgotten about this herself.

This novel briefly described Lu Wanggui’s. It could be said that Lu Wanggui’s success was partly attributed to his vision and boldness, and partly because of his keen eye in the stock market.

She had wanted to make money from the start. She didn’t divorce Lu Wanggui because she wanted to use the identity of Mrs. Lu to make money faster. Now, the source of money was by her side. If she didn’t take the opportunity to make money, wouldn’t that be a pity?
