Ye Ya laughed even more joyfully. Sometimes, Lu Tianyang seemed like a big boy, completely different from the decisive and formidable CEO he usually was. For some reason, she preferred this side of Lu Tianyang; it felt like they were closer.
"Wife, are you full?" Lu Tianyang asked calmly, though his heart was in turmoil. That infuriating woman was still smiling so happily. He wondered how he would deal with her later.
"Yes, I'm going to brew some tea. I ate too much," Ye Ya replied as she stood up. Lu Tianyang watched her and called out, "Wife, I'm going upstairs first. Please bring the tea up."
Ye Ya didn’t think much of it. Considering how fiercely Lu Tianyang had eaten earlier, serving him a cup of tea seemed reasonable.
Lu Tianyang was in his study, seemingly engaged in a video conference. It was late, and he was still busy. Ye Ya decided not to interrupt and waited outside while sipping her tea.
About half an hour later, Lu Tianyang finished his meeting and came out. "Wife, did you wait long? It's a project we're collaborating on with an American company. I’ll probably have to go there in a couple of days."
"How many days will you be gone?" Ye Ya asked as she set down her teacup.
Lu Tianyang sat down beside her. Hearing her question made him happy; he reached out and ruffled her hair. "About three to four days. I'll rush back as soon as I'm done. Are you really going to miss me that much?"
"Who would miss you? Not at all! Just take care of yourself and drink some hawthorn tea," she said as she poured him a cup.
Lu Tianyang sighed. "Wife, won't you miss me? If I stay away for a few more days, are you afraid I might find some pretty foreign girls out there?"
Ye Ya smirked, turning her head to tug at his collar. "If you go looking for foreign girls, I'll go find myself some foreign guys."
Let’s see who is bolder! Of course, Ye Ya was just joking.
"You better not! If you dare to look for someone else, just see if I won’t break your legs and lock you at home," Lu Tianyang said, pinching her cheek. The thought of her having such ideas was absolutely unacceptable; it was outrageous!
"You wouldn’t really break my legs, would you?" Ye Ya raised an eyebrow and stared at Lu Tianyang, tracing circles on his chest with her finger.
"I wouldn’t dare, wife. Let’s not joke about such things." He felt helpless under her gaze; there was nothing he could do about it.
"Hmph, you wanted to go find a foreign girl, and now you're blaming others." After saying that, Ye Ya found herself being held on Lu Tianyang's thigh, his arm wrapped around her waist. "Having you is enough."
He looked at her with a fiery gaze, and Ye Ya sensed a hint of danger. She quickly got off his lap. "I'm going to take a shower."
Lu Tianyang waved his hand dismissively, adopting an emperor's demeanor. "Wife, why don't we shower together? It saves water."
Ye Ya nearly spat out blood in frustration. "You have money; what's a little water bill? I don't want you in there." Did he think she didn't know him? In the bathroom, he wouldn't be able to resist her.
A wicked smile crept onto Lu Tianyang's lips as he agreed to Ye Ya's request. After all, there was more than one bathroom in the house; he could just wait for her to finish.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Ya emerged, ready to apply a face mask for some beauty treatment. However, that man was staring at her like a wolf. She felt uneasy; when had he taken a shower?
"What are you looking at me like that for?" Ye Ya asked as she tied her hair up and pulled out a face mask from the drawer, preparing to put it on.
Suddenly, Lu Tianyang scooped her up in his arms. She gasped, "The mask fell! What do you want now?"
"Nothing, wife. You look beautiful even without the mask." He had been patient for too long and had been wanting to teach her a lesson. Fresh from the shower, he thought she smelled divine as he cradled her face. "Wife, I was thinking about this during dinner. Did you know?"
"You big pervert!" Ye Ya gasped but couldn't help wrapping her arms around his neck. "Lu Tianyang, will we always be this good? Right now, I feel so happy with our family together."
There were no schemes or careful calculations; they lived freely and comfortably. This kind of life made Ye Ya feel blissful.
"We will, silly." Hearing the word 'happy' come from her lips made Lu Tianyang equally joyful.
"But your parents... I'm sorry for putting you in the middle." Ye Ya felt helpless about it but truly didn't want to go back.
"It'll be fine after a while; they can't just abandon their son. Don't worry about it; leave it to me," Lu Tianyang said as his hand subtly slipped under her nightgown. When he touched her, a smirk appeared on his face. "Wife, you're not wearing much clothing—are you trying to seduce your husband?"
“It's uncomfortable to sleep dressed. Move your hand away,” Ye Ya dodged, pleading, “Don't touch me anymore, it tickles, haha.”
Ye Ya was sensitive to tickling, but the man had no intention of letting her go. She squirmed, and Lu Tianyang pressed her down, saying in a hushed voice, “Wife, stop squirming.”
Ye Ya gasped, “Husband, can you let me off tonight?”
“Wife, what do you think?” Lu Tianyang replied, not wanting to waste any more words. He directly pushed Ye Ya down onto the bed.
After a long while, Ye Ya was so exhausted that she didn’t want to move a single finger. “You jerk, how am I supposed to go with you to the banquet tomorrow?”
“It’s fine; just a silk scarf will do. If not, that’s okay too. It’s a symbol of my woman,” Lu Tianyang said proudly.
Ye Ya felt like she could die at the thought of a silk scarf and didn’t want to deal with this man anymore.
Seeing her expression, Lu Tianyang felt a twinge of sympathy. “Good wife, take a shower first; you'll feel more comfortable.” He kissed her forehead and picked her up from the bed, carrying her into the bathroom.
“Lu Tianyang, no more! I'm so tired,” Ye Ya said, fearing that this jerk would bully her again in the bathroom.
“You silly thing,” he said before he couldn’t help but steal another kiss.
The next day, Ye Ya didn’t go to the office and stayed home with Chen Chen. However, Lu Tianyang called several times in the afternoon to ask if she needed him to send someone to pick her up.
Ye Ya thought to herself that it was just a banquet; why was he so worried about her?
Although she said that out loud, she still felt a bit nervous inside. After all, it was her first time publicly attending an event with Lu Tianyang. She opened her wardrobe; many of the clothes were designed by Tao Momo, and she felt a slight headache.
Which outfit would match well with Lu Tianyang? She had to admit that Lu Tianyang was indeed quite handsome. At the venue, there would be countless women staring at him, especially Fu Wan Jing.
Ye Ya tried on several outfits, but by the time Lu Tianyang returned, she still hadn't decided which one to wear.
When Lu Tianyang walked in and saw her standing in front of the mirror with a furrowed brow, he approached her and asked, "Honey, are you still not ready? Should I call the designer over?"
"Lu Tianyang, which one do you think looks better?" Ye Ya held a red dress in her left hand and a cream-colored long gown in her right. The red seemed too vibrant, while the cream felt a bit too plain.
"Honey, you look good in anything," Lu Tianyang replied sincerely. No matter what she wore, he would always like it.
"Then I'll try this one on. Is there enough time?" Ye Ya felt a bit anxious; the more nervous she got, the more mistakes she seemed to make.
"Plenty of time. Have you decided which one you'll wear?" Lu Tianyang had come back early just to see if she was ready. There was no rush; being late didn't matter as long as she was happy.
"Okay, I'll try this one. Can you help me take a look?" Ye Ya finally decided to try on the cream-colored dress. The neckline featured exquisite hand-embroidered flowers, and the waist was cinched with a rhinestone belt that accentuated her figure beautifully.
When Ye Ya stepped out wearing it, she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal realm. Lu Tianyang was momentarily mesmerized. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was indeed lovely. For him, the most important thing about her outfit was that it shouldn't be too revealing; that red dress had a thigh-high slit that could easily lead to an embarrassing moment.
"Honey, how does this look?" Ye Ya stood before the mirror and examined herself. It felt okay, but she wondered if it might be too simple.
Lu Tianyang, dressed in a white suit, stood beside her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You look stunning; this is the one."
"Alright then, I'll do my makeup first while you get back to your work." Since he liked it, she decided to go with this dress.
Lu Tianyang nodded. "I'll head to the study and wait for you." Before leaving, he couldn't resist pulling Ye Ya close for a few passionate kisses before stepping out.
Ye Ya wiped her lips afterward and thought to herself how infuriating he was. Thankfully, she hadn’t done her makeup yet; otherwise, it would have been ruined.
Ye Ya gathered her long black hair into an elegant updo, securing it with a rhinestone hairpin while leaving a few strands loose at her forehead. She chose to wear the Four Leaf Clover Necklace that Lu Tianyang had given her in the past. Additionally, she slipped her wedding ring onto her ring finger as a symbol of her identity.
Finally, she picked a pair of nearly ten-centimeter high white heels from the shoe cabinet. Normally, Ye Ya wouldn’t wear such high shoes, but tonight she couldn’t let anyone outshine her; she had to match Lu Tianyang.
She walked into the study and twirled in front of Lu Tianyang. “Honey, how do I look?”
Lu Tianyang stared at her in astonishment. Normally, this woman looked beautiful even without makeup, but now, dressed up, she resembled a captivating fairy. His brows furrowed in discontent as he said, “Wife, didn’t I tell you last night not to dress up so much? Just looking decent is enough.”
“I need to match you; otherwise, you’ll lose face,” Ye Ya replied cheerfully, undeterred by his words.
Lu Tianyang stepped closer to her, standing side by side like a golden boy and jade girl. He glanced at her shoes and asked, “Honey, are those shoes comfortable? Aren’t they a bit too high?”
“They’re fine; this height is just right. Look in the mirror; don’t you think it suits me?” After all, it was just a banquet. Ye Ya could manage because she valued this occasion; she wanted everyone to know that Ye Ya was worthy of Lu Tianyang.
He couldn’t help but want to pinch her nose but was blocked by Ye Ya. “Honey, don’t! I just finished my makeup; if you mess it up, I’ll have to redo it.”
He chuckled helplessly. “Silly girl, just stay by my side and ignore anyone who tries to hit on you.” He was particularly worried about her tonight since she looked so stunning.
“With you around, who would dare? But you—if Fu Wan Jing shows up, you’re not allowed to talk to her too much,” Ye Ya felt a bit petty but couldn’t help it when it came to Fu Wan Jing.
