After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 45 You two are actually husband and wife, aren't you?

The next morning.

Before dawn, Luo Jiuyu opened her eyes.

I need to get up early today. My brain remembers this thought so well that it forces me to wake up before the alarm clock goes off.

He got up, washed up, and put on his favorite black suit with its clever design.

As he walked out of the room, he heard Hua Meimei answering Fei Chenfeng's phone call.

"I'm up, I'll wash up... Hmm, I'll have porridge for breakfast... Okay, I'll be there in a bit... Bye!"

It's only 7 a.m., why is he waking her up for breakfast so early? How eager is Fei Chenfeng to see her?

He pursed his lips slightly downwards.

I called Amo and Liu Bin separately and asked them to come to the porridge shop in Zhongyu Plaza for breakfast.

I sat in the shop beforehand and waited.

Twenty minutes later, the two men arrived in a flurry.

Three men, dressed in different colored suits—black, white, and gray—gathered around a table to drink porridge.

When the waiter brought the porridge over, they couldn't help but glance at them a few more times. Especially at the stunningly beautiful Luo Jiuyu, everyone turned to look at her.

Amo yawned, "This is way too early. I'm still not fully awake."

Last night, he and Liu Bin drank at Lanyang Club until after 2 a.m. before going back to sleep.

Dressed in all white, Liu Bin gracefully took out his eye drops and put two drops into his eyes to refresh himself, as his eyes were too sleepy to keep open.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you have a housekeeper to make breakfast at home? Why are you sitting here in this little temple eating?" Amo complained again.

Luo Jiuyu stared indifferently at the entrance of the porridge shop. Many people had been coming and going, but she still hadn't seen the two people.

Didn't Fei Chenfeng and Hua Meimei agree to have breakfast here? This is the only porridge shop in this mall that sells breakfast in the morning.

"Let's try something different." Luo Jiuyu picked up a spoon and started drinking the porridge.

"Why did you have to call us over to keep you company? We haven't had enough sleep, what are we going to do if we can't concentrate on the employee meeting this afternoon?" Liu Bin had no appetite at all and just wanted to sleep.

Amo wanted to continue complaining, but inadvertently glanced at Hua Meimei's figure outside the glass window, with her old classmate Fei Chenfeng beside her.

"Wow wow wow..." Amo pointed outside, too excited to utter a complete sentence.

The two people outside were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the shop entrance. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, quite a good match.

Hua Meimei was laughing happily, seemingly saying something, and even skipping a few steps while gesturing with her hands.

Fei Chenfeng kept looking down at her with gentle eyes as he spoke.

Luo Jiuyu's gaze sharpened, and he nearly crushed the spoon in his hand.

Liu Bin had never seen Hua Meimei and Fei Chenfeng before, and asked Amo, "What's wrong? Why are you turning into a frog and croaking?"

“That’s Old Wang from next door!” Amo raised his elbow and poked Liu Bin’s chest.

Liu Bin suddenly realized what was going on. Looking at Fei Chenfeng, who opened the shop door for Hua Meimei to enter first, he finally understood what was happening.

"So, the reason we were invited to have porridge was to catch them in the act of adultery?" Liu Bin whispered in Amo's ear.

Amo gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it! The sun must have risen in the west. They called us over for porridge a long time ago."

Luo Jiuyu's gaze fell on Hua Meimei, while his ears were not forgetting to listen to the whispers of the two people next to him.

Fei Chenfeng and Hua Meimei chose a corner to sit down, completely unaware of what was happening. A waiter brought over the menu, and Fei Chenfeng asked Hua Meimei to order.

"Liu Bin, Amo, you two call that waiter over later and order more pies," Luo Jiuyu said.

The two people who were suddenly called out looked up in surprise.

Why are you eating pies? This bowl of porridge is so big, I'm already full after drinking it.

“We drank and ate late-night snacks until very late last night, so I’m not hungry at all and have no appetite…” Amo shook his head.

"Just order what I tell you to order." Luo Jiuyu shot him a sharp look.

Amo was quite frightened. "How about it, Liu Bin, you have some? You eat."

Liu Bin adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, feigning nonchalance, "Okay, I'll call the waiter after Old Wang next door finishes ordering."

Actually, there are several waiters in the store, not just that one.

Liu Bin knew that Luo Jiuyu wanted to call that waiter over.

Hua Meimei ordered a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and Fei Chenfeng ordered the same thing as her, along with a plate of zucchini and egg pancakes and a plate of meat sauce pancakes.

"Let me tell you, their zucchini and egg pancakes are absolutely delicious. I sometimes come here to eat them myself," Hua Meimei recommended the shop's signature dish to Fei Chenfeng.

Fei Chenfeng said, "Okay, I'll try it later. I'll come with you if you want to eat it in the future. We're neighbors now, so it's very convenient."

"His family sells these things in the morning, at noon, and in the evening, so you can eat them whenever you want. They also sell noodles and rice bowls at noon."

Many shops in this mall are open by lunchtime, and there are plenty of delicious restaurants to try.

After the waiter finished writing down their order, Liu Bin called him over.

"Waiter, over here!" Liu Bin shouted loudly on purpose, raising his hand to wave vigorously.

The waiter said, "Okay, it'll be right there."

Hua Meimei looked in the direction of the sound, but the first thing she saw was not Liu Bin, but Luo Jiuyu sitting far away in front of her.

Luo Jiuyu's cold gaze seemed to possess a magnetic force, drawing her attention. The smile on her face froze instantly, and a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Why did he get up so early? He left home even earlier than her; she didn't hear him leave from inside.

Doesn't he rarely eat breakfast out at home? He usually eats Aunt Xiang's cooking.

Fei Chenfeng noticed Hua Meimei's unusual behavior and followed her gaze, where he also saw Luo Jiuyu.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, then returned to normal, a faint smile still playing on his lips, though a hint of wariness lingered in his eyes.

"Your landlord seems hostile towards me," he said with a helpless smile.

Hua Meimei twitched the corner of her mouth. "That's just how he is, always has a sour look on his face. He's probably doing it because of me."

Fei Chenfeng's eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes darkened. "Meimei, you two are actually husband and wife, aren't you?"

Hua Meimei was stunned. How did he know?

The waiter had already come to Luo Jiuyu's table. "Hello, what would you like to order?"

Luo Jiuyu acted as if nothing had happened, calmly shifting her gaze to Amo and Liu Bin, saying, "See if you want anything else to eat. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here."

Amo and Liu Bin exchanged a glance, understanding Luo Jiuyu's thoughts, and didn't say anything more, so they could only pretend to look at the menu.

At this moment, the waiter moved over to Liu Bin's side. Liu Bin casually pointed to a few steamed buns and side dishes and said, "That's all, please bring them as soon as possible."

After the waiter nodded and left, Hua Meimei's gaze lingered on Luo Jiuyu for a while before she turned away and absentmindedly explained her marriage to Luo Jiuyu to Fei Chenfeng.

"...Our marriage can be considered a business arrangement," she concluded. "But strictly speaking, it isn't, since the Luo family doesn't even look down on the Hua family."

Fei Chenfeng listened attentively, and when he heard that her marital relationship with Luo Jiuyu was merely a formality, his slightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"How did you find out about my relationship with him? I haven't told anyone." Hua Meimei was curious; how did even he know?

A mysterious smile appeared on his face as he turned on his phone and played a video sent to him by a friend who was a graduate student at Tiancheng University.

The recording inside was of Luo Jiuyu publicly announcing that she was his wife.

Oh, I see. What a coincidence!

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she looked at Fei Chenfeng suspiciously: "Didn't you say you didn't have many friends in Tiancheng?"
