5: Chapter 5: My Wife is Angry, Chen Shuyu is Confused

This was also the consensus among Su Qingxue's friends.

They felt it was unworthy of Su Qingxue.

Why would she marry such a... mediocre man?

When Chen Shuyu walked into the villa, the front door was left ajar.

She pushed the door open and entered, but didn't see anyone in the living room.

This silence made her somewhat uncomfortable. She looked up toward the third floor and could faintly hear subtle conversation coming from the balcony, and even the sound of fabric rubbing against fabric.

She sat on the sofa on her own, threw her bag aside, and that nameless anger flared up in her heart again.

At this hour, Qingxue should be worrying about the company's new product, but what about now?

Most likely, she was being pestered by that good-for-nothing man, Lu Li.

"Indulging in debauchery in broad daylight, you really take the cake, Lu Li."

Chen Shuyu picked up the now-cold coffee and took a sip, her mind filled with thoughts of how unworthy this was for her best friend.

As the dignified president of the Guanghui Group, how could she have fallen for this idler who only knew how to sunbathe?

She didn't go upstairs; she was afraid that if she pushed the door open, she would see some intimate scene that would make her sick.

She just waited, waiting for Su Qingxue to come to her senses.

...

At this moment, Su Qingxue had just finished her live stream and was bidding a final farewell to the audience.

"Everyone, rest assured, this screen can definitely be mass-produced. In a few days, I will start another live stream to introduce our new flagship from Guanghui Technology, so please look forward to it..."

The chat was instantly flooded with wails of "Don't go."

"Don't, Xuexue, this phone is too unbelievable, we haven't seen enough yet!"

"This screen is too heaven-defying! Guanghui 7Pro, I'm buying it!"

"Looking forward to it + 10086"

"Looking forward to it + ID number!"

Su Qingxue closed the live stream decisively.

The sweet smile she wore to appease her fans disappeared along with the live stream.

She let out a long sigh, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Regardless, this live stream had passed without any major mishaps, and she had delivered a passing grade to her fans.

She turned her head, and the murderous intent in her eyes pierced toward Lu Li on the lounge chair without any concealment.

She walked slowly toward Lu Li, stopped in front of the lounge chair, crossed her arms over her chest, and just looked down at him quietly.

She didn't say a word.

That posture clearly indicated she was waiting for the criminal to confess for leniency.

Lu Li glanced at Su Qingxue; at this moment, she was both angry and cute.

He knew very well that his wife was going to settle the score with him regarding the phone.

After all, any girl would be angry if her husband had kept something from her for two years.

His brain calculated rapidly.

What is the consequence of being stubborn?

He remembered the last time they had a cold war over whether or not to put sugar in scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which almost led to them sleeping in separate rooms.

If they really slept in separate rooms this time, what would he hold at night?

He would suffer from insomnia, it would be serious!

Besides, girls just need to be coaxed after you admit your mistake.

The consequences of being stubborn are terrifying.

"Wife, it's my fault for not telling you about this."

Lu Li decisively admitted defeat and took the initiative to break the suffocating silence.

He put on his most sincere attitude.

However, Su Qingxue remained motionless, just staring at him with those cold, clear eyes.

The meaning was clear: continue your performance.

Lu Li sighed, sat up from the lounge chair, and patted the spacious empty spot beside him.

"My dear wife, before passing judgment, the judge should at least sit down, right?"

His tone carried a hint of helplessness and a hint of ingratiation.

"If you stand there like that, I can't get any sun."

This one sentence almost sent Su Qingxue's anger through the roof.

Are you still thinking about your pathetic sun?

She really wanted to kick this lounge chair over!

Seeing that Su Qingxue didn't move, Lu Li simply reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Her hand was a little cold.

Lu Li pulled her gently, his voice softening further, carrying a tone of coaxing.

"Let's sit and talk, okay? You looking at me like that puts a lot of pressure on me."

Su Qingxue struggled symbolically, but didn't break free.

Lu Li's hand was strong, and the warmth of his palm was continuously transmitted to her.

In the end, she sat down crossly, but her body was stiff, and she turned her head away to avoid looking at him.

"Speak! I'm listening to your explanation."

"Actually, it really is just as I said before."

Lu Li didn't let go of her hand, using his thumb to gently stroke the back of her smooth hand.

"It was just something I messed around with a friend, threw it in the cabinet, and I had almost forgotten about it."

"Forgotten?"

Su Qingxue turned her head back sharply, her eyes sharp.

"Something you forgot about has a screen-to-body ratio that can surpass the entire mobile phone industry? Didn't you look at the live stream chat? Even Samsung's latest S8 curved full-screen display still has a forehead and a chin! Do you take me for a fool?"

"Of course not!"

Lu Li immediately denied it, leaning in closer, the distance between them instantly shortening until they could hear each other's breathing.

He could smell the elegant fragrance from her hair.

"Wife, I swear, everything I said is true. The more technical details of this screen were created by that friend of mine. You know me; besides playing video games, what the hell do I know about technology?"

He continued to weave the story of that "non-existent" friend without changing his expression.

At the same time, his other hand wrapped around her waist naturally, gently pulling her toward his embrace.

"Silly girl, if I really knew this thing was so important to you, would I have the heart not to give it to you?"

Lu Li's eyes were clear, and his tone was sincere.

This was actually true.

If it weren't for wanting to avoid work and for this damn "Soft Rice System," he would have already taken out all the black technology from his brain.

But that would be very tiring.

Especially thinking about the cardiac arrest when he died suddenly in his previous life.

Why work hard when you can just lie down and eat soft rice!

"Everything you said... is true?"

Su Qingxue's defenses were somewhat loosened by this combination of moves; she was willing to believe him one more time.

"Of course, it's truer than real gold!"

Lu Li said righteously.

"If you don't believe me, touch it. See if my heart is sincere!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Su Qingxue's right hand and pressed it onto his left chest without any room for refusal.

Around her waist was that domineering and warm hand.

Beneath her fingertips was the man's solid, rising and falling chest.

Through the thin clothing, she could clearly feel that steady and powerful heartbeat: thump, thump, thump...

Heat spread from her fingertips all the way to her cheeks.

Su Qingxue's face turned bright red in an instant.

Her body also inexplicably softened.

This bastard!

It was clearly a serious situation where she was here to hold him accountable, so how did the atmosphere change completely because of him!

Before her reason was about to be completely submerged by that powerful heartbeat, she jumped up suddenly.

She glanced at her phone; there was a message from Chen Shuyu on the screen, saying she was already waiting on the first floor of the villa.

"I... I still have to talk about work with Shuyu! My clothes can't be messy!"

She dropped an excuse that even she didn't believe and fled the balcony as if escaping, the blush on her face as bright as the sunset clouds.

...

On the first floor, Chen Shuyu was looking down, scrolling through her phone.

Hearing rapid footsteps coming from the stairs, she looked up and was immediately stunned.

Su Qingxue was walking down quickly, her face red as blood, her chest rising and falling unevenly, clearly having just experienced some kind of intense emotional fluctuation.

Chen Shuyu's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, that Lu Li must have been getting handsy upstairs!

"Qingxue, are you okay? Did that bastard bully you?"

Chen Shuyu stood up, her face full of vigilance.

Su Qingxue didn't speak, but simply placed the phone in her hand, which had been keeping its screen on, gently on the coffee table next to the tea set.

"Take a look at this first."

Chen Shuyu had intended to continue criticizing Lu Li, but the moment her gaze fell on the phone screen, all sound seemed to be cut off.

Her originally calm expression became extremely distorted at this moment.

It was a screen she had never seen before, completely devoid of any sense of borders.

The colors were as magnificent as the highest-quality gemstones, and under the slightly dim light of the living room, it exuded a sense of technological beauty that transcended the era.

Chen Shuyu reached out with trembling hands; the moment her fingertips touched the screen, it felt as if she were touching the future.

"Is... is this Guanghui Technology's new product?"

Her voice was trembling, and even her breathing had stalled.

Su Qingxue sat opposite her, trying hard to calm her heartbeat, but her eyes unconsciously looked upstairs.

"Lu Li said this was made for him by his friend."

"But Shuyu, what kind of friend, do you think, would take this kind of mobile phone screen technology that is enough to change the world's landscape and just casually throw it in a cabinet to gather dust?"

Chen Shuyu didn't hear what Su Qingxue was saying at all.

She stared fixedly at the edge of the screen, trying to find even the slightest trace of packaging, only to find it was clean to the point of despair.
