“Have you washed dishes before?” Lu Man walked into the kitchen.
“It’s my first time. Don’t worry. I won’t make any more mistakes.” He was unaware of it before. Now, he knew the trick. He would not break the dishes again.
“Wash your hand and get out of here. I’ll do the rest.” Lu Man ordered him to leave the kitchen. She regretted making him do the dishes instead.
It was very simple. How would he know how to do any house chores? He was so superior!
“I’m sorry that I broke your bowl.” Pei Xiuyuan apologized to her. He thought that she was angry at him for breaking the bowl.
“It’s nothing! Luckily, you’re not hurt.” She would be in great trouble if he was hurt.
What she said felt like a warm stream of blood running through his heart. She was worried about him. She was afraid that he might get hurt.
“Why did you want to do the dishes so much when you don’t know how to do that?” Lu Man was annoyed.
“My wife cooked for me. It’s only natural that I wash the dishes.” He did not marry a wife just so she could always wait on him. He married her because he wanted to love her dearly. He could learn how to do the dishes if he did not know how to do that. It was not an excuse for him not to do the house chores.
What he said sounded so natural and instinctive that Lu Man felt that she was over the line just now. It seemed that what she had said was rather rude.
They fell into a deep silence as they finished cleaning up the kitchen. It was quite awkward.
“Let’s pack up your things!” Pei Xiuyuan suggested.
“Pack up? Why?” Lu Man was shocked.
“Pack up your things so that you can move to our house.” He went to meet her early in the morning so that he could help her move. It was why he was on leave that day.
“This…” Although Lu Man had started to accept the truth of her marital status, she had never thought of the possibility of staying under the same roof with him.
On top of that, a flash marriage was indeed unsuitable for her. She liked to live the way she was used to.
“What’s wrong?”
“Can we wait for a few more days? I need to get used to it,” she replied softly.
“If you continue to stay here, you will never get used to living with me.” He could allow her the privilege to get used to him. He could always give her the time to accept him. But, living apart from each other was impossible.
What he said was indeed logical. Lu Man could not refute that.
“Why don’t we talk it out?”
“Fine.”
“We’re not suitable for each other. We have rushed into the marriage. I think that we need to… think carefully about this…” Lu Man had bottled up all the things she wanted to say for a long time. Now, she did not know how to speak her mind.
“Are you planning to abandon me after what I’ve done for you? It’s immoral if you do that.” Pei Xiuyuan smiled softly.
His smile was captivating. But, Lu Man felt a great pressure on her. Cold sweat ran down her spine.
“No! I don’t plan to abandon you! I just… feel that we’re unsuited for each other.” They came from different backgrounds and barely had any common ground between them. They did not even understand each other. How could they remain in that marriage?
Pei Xiuyuan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as she did not regret marrying him. “Why don’t we give us a try?”
“We don’t know each other.”
“If you don’t give me the chance, we’ll never get to know each other.”
What he said was indeed logical so much so that she did not know what else to say. She lowered her head and kept quiet.
Suddenly, he stretched out his large hand and lifted her head gradually. He wanted her to look directly at him.
“Manman, our marriage is indeed too sudden. But, I’m serious about our marriage. We’ve registered as husband and wife. A marriage lasts for a lifetime. I don’t care about how we were before and the reason we have married each other. Come, be with me, and give our marriage a chance. Can you do that?”
He was so serious and solemn. He looked at Lu Man so attentively that she almost lost her mind.
“We don’t have any affection for each other…” Did one start to have feelings for another if they tried their best? Lu Man had only thought about how to marry him but she never considered the problems regarding the marriage itself. Now, she was considering their marriage. She was doubtful and uncertain about their marriage given that she had married him with a purpose.
What he said was right. Marriage should last for a lifetime. But, how could two strangers be together forever? How could they live together?
“Is it a rule that people who have affection for each other must marry each other? Will they be happy and content with their marriage?” Pei Xiuyuan asked her.
Lu Man thought of Mu Yunhai after listening to what he said. She thought of the man whom she had thought would be by her side forever.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand the whole picture now. What he said was true! She was overthinking. What if they did not have affection for each other? If they did have a deep affection for each other, would they be happy after marrying each other? Nowadays, people want to have freedom in choosing their life partners. But, there were just too many instances of divorce.
Sometimes, good preparation did not guarantee success at the end of the road.
She smiled slightly and gave him a bright and mischievous smile. “Then, please be nice and teach me well in our future marriage life!”
Her smile was so captivating that Pei Xiuyuan could not help but lower his head.
He was always proud of his own self-control. But, his self-control significantly weakened when it came to her. He wanted so badly to approach her and to taste her entire presence.
Lu Man did not avoid him. He was her husband. They needed to sleep together with each other too from now on.
So, she had to accept being intimate with him even if she was still not used to it.
She closed her eyes slowly.
His warm lips soon approached her.
The kiss was not as unendurable as she thought it would be.
She even felt a little dizzy.
He could not even hold himself back before when Lu Man was still unprepared for his kiss. Now that she was responding to his kiss, how could he how back anymore?
At that moment, Hou Qingqing was home.
“I’m sorry. It’s not intentional. I saw nothing!” She turned away quickly and escaped the scene. She even closed the door for them.
But, her sudden appearance had disrupted the sweet moment they shared with each other.
Lu Man pushed Pei Xiuyuan aside. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato.
Pei Xiuyuan was deeply annoyed and dissatisfied with what had happened just now. How could her housemate appear at that very moment?
Hou Qingqing did not even stay away long enough. She came back way too early!
Lu Man opened the door and looked around for Hou Qingqing when Hou Qingqing was still thinking about where to spend her time so that they could have their privacy.
“Why did you come out here? Faster get into the house and continue what you were doing just now! I’ll leave right away! If you don’t call me, I won’t even come back!” Hou Qingqing pushed Lu Man back into the house.
Lu Man’s lips twitched. “You’re indeed my good friend! How considerate you are!”
“That’s for sure!”
“That’s enough! Stop boasting about yourself. Come right in!”
“Why do I have to come in? Although I’m interested in a live show, I’m afraid to watch it.”

“What I’m thinking about is normal!” They were alone in the house. They were even kissing each other so passionately. What could have been their next step? Surely, they were going to sleep together!
“Quickly come into the house!” Lu Man almost lost her patience. She dragged Hou Qingqing into the house.
Pei Xiuyuan was standing there in the house. He smiled gently and acted as graceful as Apollo. He seemed so handsome and captivating but Hou Qingqing could feel that he was deeply annoyed at her.
“Big Boss Pei, I’m truly sorry. I wasn’t acting appropriately just now.” She smiled and apologized to him. She even slapped herself lightly to imply that it was indeed not the time for her to make an appearance.
