The Sweetest ‘Fake’ Couple

 Chapter 20 - Coveting My Husband's Good Looks (2)

The meal was ready when they arrived. It was very rich. Chi Xin had disappeared, saying that she was suddenly unwell and went home.

Lu Li and Chi Chenyan were sitting together. Lu Li was often putting food it Chi Chenyan’s plate and it doesn’t look like they’ve been married for three years but a newlywed on their honeymoon.

Everyone noticed something abnormal, but no one dared to say anything.

What would they say? The couple are in a good relationship but they will come out and say that they are nor normal?

Grandma Chi has been looking at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Not long after the meal, the family gathering ended.

The other relatives left, and only Chi Chenyan and Lu Li stayed.

Chi Chenyan was called to the study by his grandmother to talk, and Lu Li did not bother to grab her husband from his grandma and played by herself.

Grandma Chi recently raised a little golden retriever named Maozi. She was only half a year old and Lu Li couldn’t help but tease the dog after the meal.

In the study, Chi Chenyan reported to his grandmother about Shengjing’s recent situation and the IM summit that he will attend next week.

It’s just that Grandma Chi doesn’t seem to care about it. The window of her study room is facing the garden downstairs. She is sitting in a wheel chair with her eyes fixed downstairs.

In the garden, Lu Li took a water pipe for watering plants, and was bathing the dog with the servants.

“What’s the matter with Lu Li?” Grandma Chi suddenly said.

Chi Chenyan was stunned for a moment.

Grandma Chi turned to face her grandson.

Chi Chenyan knew that his grandmother had noticed Lu Li’s abnormality, and no longer kept it a secret. He told her about Lu Li’s condition.

After hearing Chi Chenyan, Grandma Chi’s expression seemed to be intrigued.

”What are you going to do?” She asked Chi Chenyan.

Chi Chenyan also looked at Lu Li, who was busy bathing the dog in the garden, and said, “Wait for a while, and see if she gets better.”

Grandma Chi: “What if she never recovers?”

Chi Chenyan was silent, seemingly thinking.

Seeing her silent grandson, Grandma Chi shook her head slightly, and did not ask any more questions.

Lu Li and Chi Chenyan stayed with Grandma Chi after dinner before leaving.

Before leaving, Lu Li took Chi Chenyan’s arm and waved goodbye to Grandma Chi, and then she did not forget to wave goodbye to little Maozi.

She played very well with the puppy in the afternoon.

In the car, Lu Li tilted her head and leaned on Chi Chenyan’s shoulder sweetly: “Husband, shall we also raise a dog in the future?”

Chi Chenyan felt Lu Li’s head on his shoulder, and he kept thinking about his grandmother’s words, ‘If it never gets better’, and did not hear Lu Li.

Lu Li asked but Chi Chenyan did not answer, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

“Husband?” She said several times, and finally couldn’t help but shake his arm.

“Huh?” Chi Chenyan returned to his senses.

Lu Li cocked her small lips: “What are you thinking about?”

Chi Chenyan did not know how to explain to her, so he flatly said: “Nothing.”

After calling out several times, he ignored her, and then said ‘nothing’.

Lu Li hates this perfunctory the most.

She seemed to have a temper. She no longer sat next to Chi Chenyan, but sat in the farthest corner away from him, with her body close to the car door and her eyes looking out at the window.

The distance between the two people were wide enough to fit another two people.

Lu Li was thinking about her husband coming to coax her.

It’s just that Chi Chenyan did not think it was wrong to sit this way. After all, he and Lu Li used to ride in the same car like this in the past.

At the apartment complex…

Lu Li waited all the way without being coaxed, and got off the car, and did not hold Chi Chenyan’s arm.

Although she walked first, she deliberately walked slowly and stopped when she got on the elevator, hoping that a certain person would hold her hand.

Unfortunately, Chi Chenyan followed her to the elevator, and the two stood side by side.

62nd floor.

Chi Chenyan returned to his room as soon as they came back. Lu Li finished washing and sat crossed-legged on her bed, beating the pillow in her arms, her eyes fixed on the wall.

She and Chi Chenyan have been sleeping in separate rooms these days because Chi Chenyan said that he would work at night and was afraid of disturbing her.

It was originally a caring reason, but after being used more often, it became less reasonable.

Lu Li thought of Chi Chenyan’s perfunctory answer in the car. She was so cold all the way, and she couldn’t help but beat her pillow a few more times, her eyes damp.

She felt that it was too early to tell Chi Xin about the bullshit.

What kind of love is as deep as the sea. It’s not deep at all!
