Chapter 192: Daily Communication Is Not Considered Disturbing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Meng Chuyuan finished looking at her phone, she was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I was wondering what it was. I was just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?”
When she saw that Lu Qingye said that he didn’t know what she needed, she casually replied to him regarding the transfer. What she wanted to say was that no gift was as useful as money.
She was also using this obscure expression to convince herself to accept the money and stop the other party from thinking about what she needed.
It was said that smart women didn’t cause trouble for themselves. She agreed with that statement.
After marrying into a family like Lu Qingye’s, the only thing she could do was to be herself. Under the premise that they did not interfere with each other and did not have any feelings for each other, she would take whatever she was given. She would not despise or take the initiative to ask for anything else.
Lu Qingye naturally knew that it was a joke. It was not easy for him to accept Nieng Chuyuan’s joke on a whim. In the end, he felt a little disappointed after waiting for so long without a reply.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was slightly low and gentle. “One always has to finish what they start. This applies to replying to messages as well.”
“…” She really did not expect to be taught a lesson.
Meng Chuyuan was clearly worried that her reply would disturb him. How did it become her fault?
She thought about it and felt that what Lu Qingye said made sense, so she compromised with him. “Alright, I’ll remember. I’ll definitely reply to your messages next time and turn off my phone after that.”
Lu Qingye nodded in satisfaction and said, “We need to add another marriage agreement.”
“What do we have to add?”
Nieng Chuyuan thought that the supplementary marriage agreement should be very important for him to have suddenly brought it up. However, the next second, when she heard Lu Qingye’s request, she was stunned.
“We must contact each other at least twice a week.’
Hearing this request, Meng Chuyuan’s face was filled with confusion. “Aren’t you busy? Why do you still have the time to call?” Twice a week?
Was this something a busy person could do?
Lu Qingye hummed again and said lightly, “I’ll call you when I have time.”
Previously, his mother had criticized him on the phone, saying that he was despicable. He had left his newly married wife at home and did not take the initiative to contact her.
He had just thought about it and felt that he still had to have basic daily communication with her, so he added a minimum number of two calls a week to this agreement.
Meng Chuyuan let out a soft laugh. “Mr. Lu, you’re breaking the contract. We agreed before that no one should disturb each other…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Qingye interrupted, “It’s not a bother to communicate daily.”
Meng Chuyuan could only listen to him. “But I have to record a variety show tomorrow. I have to hand in my phone. We can’t contact each other for the next four days.”
She wasn’t very dependent on her phone and didn’t have any special important or urgent messages to reply to.
Handing over her phone was not a problem for her daily life at all, but now that Lu Qingye suddenly made such a request, it made her suddenly feel worried.
Lu Qingye did not relent or lower his requirements because of this. “Call me before the recording tomorrow morning. The next call will be after the variety show recording. ”
Due to the time difference, he could not directly call her after he woke up, so he asked Meng Chuyuan to call him first.
The lanterns were just lit, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
The green vegetation in the courtyard rustled in the evening wind. The hazy moonlight mixed with the street lights added a hint of gentleness to the scenery.
In the brightly lit hall, delicacies were placed on the dining table, and the air was filled with the fragrance of meat.
Everyone sat at the dining table. The sumptuous dishes were still steaming hot, but no one moved their chopsticks for a long time.
“Mom, why don’t we eat first?”
Liao Jiayan brought her boyfriend home today and wanted to discuss their marriage with her parents. This was originally their own business, but her mother insisted on calling her sister come home for dinner.
It was dinner time, but Liao Jiake was still nowhere to be seen.
Mother Liao glared at her unhappily and scolded in a low voice, “You only know how to eat. Your sister and brother-in-law aren’t here yet. Wait a little longer.”
If this was a family gathering, Liao Jiayan wouldn’t have urged her parents to eat first at all. However, because her boyfriend was present tonight and her mother had scolded her in person, she was a little angry.
“Mom, Xiao Gao specially took the time to visit you. He’s very tired.”
Coincidentally, Liao Jiayan’s boyfriend had been on a business trip here for the
past two days. He had specially postponed a day of work to visit his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Although he had treated them as his own family when he first entered the house, he was still a guest. How could they be so rude?
Liao Jiayan’s boyfriend saw that the atmosphere was not right. He was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so he leaned over and said to Liao Jiayan, “I’m not tired. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Mother Liao: “They’re already on their way. They’ll be here soon.”
However, Liao Jiayan didn’t buy it. In fact, it somehow further ignited the dissatisfaction in her heart. “I brought my boyfriend home for dinner, but you’re insisting on calling her back. What are you doing?”
Initially, Liao Jiayan didn’t get angry because her boyfriend was present. Even though her parents kept thinking about their eldest daughter, she endured it.
In the end, seeing that they had yet to arrive when it was time for dinner, Liao Jiayan finally exploded.
Mother Liao: “Anyway, since we already have to make a few more dishes. Wouldn’t it be good to call your sister back to eat together? There might be a traffic jam on the way. They’ll be here in a while.”
“You called her over before you had started cooking. Even if there was a traffic jam on the road, could it have lasted until now? It’s almost eight o’clock. Do you still think she’s coming?”
Mr. Liao sat at the head of the table and didn’t say anything. When he heard Liao Jiayan’s emotions, he finally said solemnly, “Stop arguing. What’s wrong with waiting a little longer?”
It was her boyfriend’s first time here and he didn’t expect to encounter such a scene. He could only persuade Liao Jiayan to calm down. ” Yan Yan, forget it.”
At the same time, Liao Jiake and her husband were rushing over. They just so happened to be at a crossroad. They were waiting for the red light to turn green before they could cross.
Xu Zeyi personally drove the car. Taking advantage of the red light, he leaned his head back and shifted into the back of the chair to relax for a while.
He tilted his head and looked at Liao Jiake, who was touching up her makeup. He said lightly, “Didn’t I tell you not to wait for me?”
“That won’t do. My sister has brought her boyfriend back. You have to come with me to meet him.”
Because of this, she specially called Xu Zeyi home. Just as the two of them were about to go out, her mother-in-law saw that her son had finally returned and wanted him to stay for dinner.
The two of them only came out after eating with the elders. Coincidentally, they met with a traffic jam on the way, so they were still on the journey over.
Xu Zeyi hummed softly and suddenly asked, “When will your variety show After Liao Jiake finished applying her lipstick, she pursed her lips and said unhurriedly, “I don’t know. The contract doesn’t say anything. It seems that the recording period is decided based on the viewer statistics. According to the current situation, it should be very difficult to end the recording in a short period of time..”
