He smoked when he was troubled.

Seeing Xiang Xiaoyuan staring at him, Lu Wanggui explained, “I’ve been troubled recently.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was puzzled. How big of a problem was it that even Lu Wanggui felt troubled? But it should have something to do with work. Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to help, but she was just a rookie compared to him. If even Lu Wanggui couldn’t solve the problem, she couldn’t be of much help.

Fortunately, Lu Wanggui added, “It’s not a big problem.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. “That’s good.”

She smelled the faint smell of tobacco coming from Lu Wanggui’s body. She couldn’t help but wonder if this was the difference between fictional and the real world? In the real world, she hated the smell of cigarettes. In addition to smelling bad, secondhand smoke was bad for the body.

However, it was different at the moment. The smell of cigarettes on Lu Wanggui’s body was not heavy, and for some reason, it did not smell bad. Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that he was wearing perfume at first.

At night, the two of them lay in bed, still sleeping separately.

However, Xiang Xiaoyuan liked to chat. As long as she was not too tired, she would talk to Lu Wanggui before going to bed. After a long time, Lu Wanggui had gotten used to this habit of hers. Lying in bed, he listened to her talk about the trivial things in her life and occasionally responded.

“I heard that business is pretty good today?”

“It’s not pretty good, it’s super good. It’s comparable to business in a supermarket close to New Year!”

Speaking of this, Xiang Xiaoyuan could not hide her excitement. “I really hope that it can be so good every day.”

Even if she was a little tired, it did not matter. No one would say no to money.

Lu Wanggui chuckled. “With the increase in the number of customers, there will be more problems. If there is anything that can not be solved, just let me know.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan rubbed her hands together. “I’ll remember that.”

Although she had not met with any problems yet, she was not a stubborn person when it came to things that she could not solve. She would definitely ask someone to help her.

The two of them chatted casually. Just as Xiang Xiaoyuan was getting more and more sleepy, Lu Wanggui suddenly said, “I might be attending the charity banquet of Shengkong Group next week.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan yawned and mumbled, “Okay, is this banquet very important?”

In the darkness, Lu Wanggui was silent for a moment. Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that he was asleep, but then she heard him say in a low voice, “It’s not important.”

The next morning, when Xiang Xiaoyuan woke up, Lu Wanggui had just finished packing and was ready to leave. She rushed to him as fast as she could and blocked his way. “Wait, do you still mean what you said last night?”

Lu Wanggui teased her. “What did I say?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan reminded him, “You said that I can ask you for help if I need it.”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “Yes.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan put her palms together. “I have something that I can’t solve right now. I need professional help.” She stared at Lu Wanggui with her clear almond-shaped eyes. “So, do you know a lawyer who can help me?”

“Why do you need a lawyer?”

“To inquire about some things.”

Lu Wanggui teased, “Don’t tell me you want to inquire about a divorce?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”

She had thought of this before.

She thought so in her heart, but on the surface, she said righteously, “Why do I need to inquire about that?”

Lu Wanggui couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, then what do you want to inquire about?”

“Just some things in my shop. It’s a serious matter. It’s very important!” Xiang Xiaoyuan emphasized.

She knew that in a large company like the Lu Corporation, there would be a legal team to handle some legal disputes. She was now Mrs. Lu, so it would not be too much to use the resources of the Lu Corporation, right?

Actually, it was fine to look for a lawyer by herself, but Xiang Xiaoyuan was not familiar with this industry. If she hired an unprofessional lawyer, it would be more troublesome. She might as well go directly to the legal team under the Lu Corporation and save some legal fees.

Lu Wanggui thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll go and ask.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan heaved a sigh of relief. “Then I’m counting on you.”

This was the first time she had asked him for help. She hoped that he would support her!

Lu Wanggui pinched the space between his eyebrows helplessly. “I’ve already promised you. Can you let me go to work now?”

Only then did Xiang Xiaoyuan realize that she had blocked the way. She quickly made way and said with a bow, “Be careful on the road.”

As it turned out, Lu Wanggui was very efficient. At around 11 o’clock in the morning, Xiang Xiaoyuan received a call from him..
