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

Is Chapter 33 driven by possessiveness?

Her tone was blatantly protective, and she deftly pointed her elbow outwards to show him.

In her eyes, he was an insignificant husband, naturally not as important as her old classmate.

Luo Jiuyu pursed his lips. He had just seen Fei Chenfeng touch her head, and she was smiling with her eyes crinkling.

Her relationship with Fei Chenfeng is definitely not simple.

"Okay, do as you please. My roommate."

Luo Jiuyu's indifferent voice fell to the ground as she strode into the building.

Hua Meimei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luo Jiuyu was sensible enough not to reveal their secret marriage.

Fei Chenfeng was still puzzled and looked at Hua Meimei, asking, "How much money do you owe him? Is your relationship really just that of landlord and tenant?"

"It's a long story," Hua Meimei said, brushing him off again. "It's getting late, be careful on your way back. I'm going back to soak my feet and have some pear soup. Don't forget to make pear soup too!"

After saying that, Hua Meimei turned around and completed facial recognition on the security camera at the door. The unit door opened automatically, and she went inside.

In the living room, Luo Jiuyu stood not far from the entrance, waiting for her to come in.

After changing my shoes, I looked up and was startled to see him.

His face was cold and he was dressed in all black; he looked just like a black ghost.

She said proactively, "I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't bring anyone to your house."

"If you don't bring anyone to my house, are you going to bring them to a hotel next time?" Luo Jiuyu's lips suddenly curled into a mocking smile.

"What did you say?" Hua Meimei looked completely bewildered. "Luo Jiuyu, you're talking nonsense!"

Is this something he should say? Does he even have the right to say it?

"So what if I really go to a hotel with him? Don't forget that on our first day of marriage you said you wouldn't mind if I cheated on you, so you would have a legitimate reason to get a divorce and explain it to your grandparents."

If it really comes to that, Hua Meimei will be the one at fault, the one who will be disgraced, and he will become the innocent party, making divorce a matter of course.

He clearly had a very clever plan in mind.

What's with this sarcastic remark about her now?

"Hua Meimei, as I've said before, we're husband and wife in name only. Don't get too close to other men behind my back."

"Nonsense." Hua Meimei put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and took a deep breath, trying to control her anger.

To avoid accidentally losing your temper and becoming hoarse from yelling, and then uncontrollably resorting to violence and beating him to a pulp.

"Luo Jiuyu, at the banquet at Fangyuan Hotel, when you and Mu Siran were alone on the balcony, did you ever think about giving me face?" Hua Meimei asked rhetorically.

The image of him almost kissing Mu Siran's lips flashed through his mind. He rubbed his temples, speechless.

Although Hua Meimei didn't know what happened when they were alone, she could imagine the scene:

When a man is alone with the woman he secretly loves, it's hard not to feel distracted.

Within the framework of marriage, would this be considered emotional infidelity?

Knowing he was having an emotional affair, did she ever hold it against him?

She and Fei Chenfeng were just classmates and friends, so what did he have to criticize?

Hearing them arguing, Li Xiang pressed her ear to her bedroom door to listen, not wanting to come out and try to mediate.

"I advise you not to be so hypocritical." Hua Meimei gave him a disdainful look.

"I do owe you money, but that doesn't mean I'll listen to everything you say. I'll pay you back as soon as possible."

Luo Jiuyu: "..."

Almost simultaneously, they turned and went their separate ways. She went back to her room, while he headed towards the study on the other side.

His study is essentially his home office, with a pile of documents on his desk that he needs to read and sign.

After a long day of working in the study, my eyes were sore, so I went for a walk in the neighborhood. Unexpectedly, I bumped into her coming back with Fei Chenfeng.

If only he hadn't gone for a walk back then. Now, things seem to have gotten so tense between him and Hua Meimei.

It wouldn't matter if things were stuck in a rut. But why do I feel so uneasy?

It felt like there was a breath stuck in my chest, neither going up nor down.

I held a document in my hand, but couldn't turn a single page for ages.

His eyes were fixed on the document, but his mind was still on what had just happened.

If you lose your soul, you can't work properly.

He put down the documents and went to the window for some fresh air.

Someone sent him a message.

He went back to his desk, picked up his phone, and saw a message from Mousse.

I received the gift you sent, I like it very much, thank you, Brother Jiuyu.

At noon, he asked Amo to pick out a gift for him at the mall and deliver it to the Donut Studio in the Xinzhi Building.

I don't know what Amo bought, but never mind.

[I'm satisfied, Happy New Year!]

Luo Jiuyu replied to Mu Sitian's message.

The phone rang again.

It's a friend request on WeChat.

When I opened WeChat, I found two people had requested to be friends with me.

One of them was sent by Mousse Sweet in the afternoon; he wasn't looking at his phone at the time.

This message came from Mu Siran. Her profile picture was an adorable white rabbit, and her contact name was Mu Siran.

He first accepted Mu Siran's friend request. Then he went to look at her Moments.

Her WeChat Moments are mostly filled with photos of her personal life.

Her runway shows, film and television shoots, and advertising materials are all shared on her studio account.

He used a secondary account to follow her Weibo account and his studio's Weibo account.

Is it Jiuyu?

Mu Siran was also looking through his WeChat Moments, but found nothing; she couldn't find any trace of him.

She was also worried that she might have added the wrong person.

It's me.

He typed a reply with a smile.

Unexpectedly, I received her voice reply the next second.

[It's you, I thought I added the wrong person. What are you doing?]

There was a lot of background noise in her voice recording, like someone was filming a movie.

[Dazed]

What's bothering you? You can tell me.

Mu Siran's cheerful voice came through again. She sounded to be in a good mood.

He was in a bad mood.

Because of the berries.

It shouldn't be like this.

He had always thought that Hua Meimei was an insignificant person to him. What she did or who she was with wouldn't attract his attention at all.

However, when it actually happened, it wasn't like that.

She spent the day out with Fei Chenfeng, and when they returned, Fei Chenfeng even walked her to her apartment building and made intimate gestures towards her.

Any man could see that Fei Chenfeng liked her. But she didn't keep her distance from him; does that mean she liked him too?

At first, he didn't care at all whether she would cheat on him, but now he realizes that he's starting to care that his nominal wife, Hua Meimei, is getting close to other men.

Humans are instinctively possessive of what they own, especially men who are naturally warlike.

Perhaps his current state of turmoil stems solely from this damned possessiveness.

He must overcome this mentality.

This won't harm either him or Hua Meimei.

You shouldn't possess someone you shouldn't have in the first place. That's a matter of mutual respect.

Once he understood this point, he felt much more at ease.

Remembering his bad attitude towards Hua Meimei earlier... he left the study and went straight to her bedroom.

I composed myself before knocking on her door.

Hua Meimei thought it was Li Xiang knocking on the door, and while she was wearing a face mask, she ran over excitedly to open it.

Standing outside the door was none other than the Black Impermanence.

She didn't want to talk to him! She rolled her eyes to the sky, and her entire face, along with the white face mask, turned white.

"boom--"

The door slammed shut.

She couldn't even be bothered to say "get lost".

A gust of wind swept across his face, feeling as if it had slapped him.

He stared at the door, the hint of apology in his eyes gradually disappearing.

If he says a single word to Hua Meimei tomorrow, he's a dog!
