My Dangerous Billionaire Husband Chapter 1555 - Making a Meal For Her Personally

Mrs. Hai drew Ou Xuyan aside, murmuring an apology. "First of all, Mrs. Lu, I must apologize to you. Yesterday, after I discovered you hadn't yet consummated your marriage with Chief Lu, I mentioned it to Old Hai. Little did I know, the entire army erupted the moment I spoke."

"They're all claiming Chief Lu's marriage to you is a mere convenience and that his personal inclinations are, shall we say, questionable. Division Commander Yi has already declared that Chief Lu will be granted three days to sort out his personal matters, lest it disrupt the team's morale."

Was that so?

This was news to Ou Xuyan. So much had transpired in her absence.

"Mrs. Lu, Old Hai and I are utterly baffled. We spoke in utmost confidence, so how could the army possibly get wind of it? Do you suspect someone overheard us? Whoever it was, they're truly malicious."

"It was Yi Qiaoqiao," Ou Xuyan stated with unshakeable certainty.

"How can you be so sure, Mrs. Lu?"

"Yi Qiaoqiao visited my quarters yesterday and scrutinized me quite intently."

Mrs. Hai slapped her thigh in realization. "That must be it! Yi Qiaoqiao has harbored feelings for Chief Lu for ages. She must have orchestrated these rumors to pressure Chief Lu into divorcing you. Who could have foreseen Chief Lu's formidable passion last night, overpowering you..."

Ou Xuyan's delicate face flushed, and she made to depart.

"Wait, Mrs. Lu!" Mrs. Hai called out, pulling Ou Xuyan back. "Mrs. Lu, we are both women, after all. What are your true desires? You are already wedded to Chief Lu. I recall you mentioning that you don't care for Chief Lu and married him solely to aid another man. But marriage is no trifling matter for a woman. I observe Chief Lu's affection for you and his genuine intent to build a life together. Would you truly divorce Chief Lu only to pursue that other man?"

"If your heart doesn't lie with him, then you ought to cherish the life you have with Chief Lu. He loves you, and your union has already been sealed. You can embrace your role as 'Mrs. Lu' with peace of mind."

Ou Xuyan's thoughts swirled in a state of confusion; these matters had not yet crossed her mind.

Her only certainty was that a future with Ading was an impossibility. Her visit to the coffee shop was solely to ascertain the situation between Ading and the Green Sect. As for Lu Fan, her feelings remained unformed.

Last night, she... had become his woman.

Even if she were to end him now, that fact would remain immutable.

"I understand, Mrs. Hai. Thank you."

"No need for thanks. Just focus on building a good life with Chief Lu. I shall take my leave now." Mrs. Hai departed.

...

Lu Fan's fever subsided, bringing a sense of calm to Ou Xuyan's heart. Feeling a pang of hunger, she decided to find something to eat.

She had abstained from food and drink throughout the day, her anger towards him serving as a barrier.

Upon entering the kitchen, Ou Xuyan noticed two plates on the counter. They held white rice, topped with pork chops, green vegetables, and bean sprouts. Could this be... the lunch he had prepared for her this afternoon?

Had he actually cooked this himself?

Ou Xuyan picked up her chopsticks and sampled the vegetables. They were bland, lacking flavor, and appeared to have been merely boiled.

His culinary skills were clearly rudimentary, given the limited extent of his cooking.

Yet, today, he had prepared a meal for her.

A warmth spread through Ou Xuyan's chest. These two meals remained untouched, both by her and by him.

She pondered further: was this merely a tactic to elicit her sympathy?

After taking such liberties last night, he now sought her forgiveness. In truth, her forgiveness was inconsequential; his true objective was to secure.... an heir!
