Velvet Chains of a Tycoon

Lu Sheng was surprised, "Grandpa, what did Miss Lin do to upset you?"

"Today, she knocked me down at the entrance of Huiyue Hall. Not only did she not help me up, but she didn't even say 'sorry.'"

The old man was still fuming about it, although his fall was a bit exaggerated, Lin Li had indeed bumped into him.

Lu Sheng: "..." The old man was bored and went out to conduct another social experiment.

Seeing that his grandson didn't respond, the old man raised his voice, "Go and change the marriage certificate with Lin Li to a divorce certificate, understand?"

"The one I married isn't Lin Li."

Lu Sheng quickly explained when he saw his grandfather getting agitated, "During the matchmaking today, Lin Li never showed up. Another woman sat at the wrong table, and we ended up having the matchmaking session. I thought she was okay, so I took her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married."

The old man's eyes widened, "So fast? What kind of woman caught your eye in one glance?"

Impatiently, Lu Sheng threw the marriage certificate in front of his grandfather, "Her, a fourth-year student, looks decent..."

"What do you mean by 'decent'? She's fresh and elegant, isn't she?"

The old man was dissatisfied with his grandson's evaluation of his new wife, "Haha, so you've already taken a liking to her? I originally planned to arrange a match for you two, seems like you moved faster than me, huh?"

Lu Sheng frowned instinctively, "Grandpa, she was also one of the matches you arranged for me?"

"I wanted to, but I hadn't even found out her name before you got married to her."

"Find out?"

Lu Sheng was even more confused, "Grandpa, why would you investigate a stranger?"

"Because she is beautiful and kind. This morning, I was knocked down, and among all the people passing by, only she helped me up..."

Lu Sheng: "...Helping someone up is something even elementary school students can do."

"But many adults nowadays can't even do what elementary school students can."

After saying this, the old man added, "Now that you're married to her, make sure to live well together and give me a great-grandchild next year."

Lu Sheng: "..." The old man was daydreaming.

The old man walked out cheerfully, muttering, "Finally, he's married..."

Lu Yu, who had been hiding outside, entered the room after the old man left.

"Bro, did you really get married?"

Lu Sheng gave him a cold look, as if shooting a freezing glare.

Lu Yu immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

He was Lu Sheng's younger brother, but he was glad he was a few years younger than Lu Zhen. Otherwise, he would have been the one forced into a matchmaking marriage today.

However, he was very curious about his new sister-in-law. Which woman was bold enough to marry a man known for his icy demeanor?

He bet that the woman wouldn't last three days with his brother.

Maybe she would leave tomorrow because she couldn't stand it.

At that moment, Lu Sheng's phone rang.

A string of unfamiliar numbers, and Lu Sheng immediately rejected the call, planning to block it, but the number called again.

Who was so persistent?

He answered the call impatiently.

"Mr. Lu, which building do you live in at Songhu Garden?"

Lu Sheng paused, realizing it was the woman he had just married. He quickly provided his address.

"Building 3, Unit 3, Room 1002."

... Finally, she found the house. Qin Ran wasn't the type to hold grudges.

Dragging her suitcase, Qin Ran went to Building 3, Unit 3, and directly went up to the 10th floor. Using the key to open the door, she quickly forgot her earlier annoyance.

The house wasn't very large, probably around 100 square meters, a compact three-bedroom, two-living room apartment, but it was still more spacious than her brother's 70-square-meter, two-bedroom, two-living room apartment.

Most importantly, the master bedroom had its own bathroom, meaning she wouldn't have to share a bathroom with him.

After walking around the house, Qin Ran noticed that while it looked like everything was there, there were almost no living essentials.

This suggested that Lu Sheng might not have lived here before.

Or, he was often on business trips and rarely stayed here?

Despite being a small 100-square-meter apartment, it was located in Songhu Garden, right next to the famous Binhai Elementary School in Binhai City.

To buy an apartment in the Binhai Elementary School district, it would cost at least seven or eight million yuan.

So, Lu Sheng must have paid a high down payment, indicating he was capable.

The rooms were clean and tidy, almost like a model home. Apart from a few sets of men's clothes in the master bedroom, the second bedroom was completely empty.

The other room was a study, with a few books scattered on the bookshelf, whether Lu Sheng didn't like reading or hadn't had time to buy more.

Her stomach growled.

Qin Ran rushed to the kitchen and was immediately stunned—there were all the necessary appliances, but no food.

Looking at the empty, unplugged refrigerator, Qin Ran: "..."

She could no longer return to her brother's place, so this was her temporary home.

Since it was her home, she needed to put some effort into making it livable, adding a bit of warmth.

With that in mind, Qin Ran grabbed her phone and keys and left the house again.

Earlier, she had seen a supermarket near the metro station. She decided to get something to eat first, then make a shopping list and buy the items on it.

At 9 PM.

Lu Sheng came out of the company, with his bodyguard and driver waiting outside.

He naturally headed towards the Maybach, but his assistant, Su Bei, approached cautiously.

"Mr. Lu, the chairman instructed that since you are married, you should live with your wife."

It was a rule in the Lu family that married men should not stay out overnight.

"And where they should stay is with their wives."

"Bring my BYD Tang over."

"Yes, sir."

The driver quickly fetched the BYD Tang parked in the corner.

Actually, he had just bought the car last week, and the license plate was installed yesterday.

Apart from the BYD Tang, Lu Sheng owned four other cars, the cheapest of which was worth over two million yuan.

The driver was curious about why the president suddenly bought a car worth only a few hundred thousand yuan, but he dared not ask.

Speaking too much could cost him his job.

Qin Ran ate a quick meal at Wanhui City and then went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

By the time she returned with two large bags, it was already past 10 PM.

Opening the door, she was surprised to see the lights on. Had she forgotten to turn them off when she left?

Putting the bags in the kitchen, she naturally headed to the public bathroom, only to find that it didn't have curtains.

Hmm, did Lu Sheng not use this bathroom before?

She would have to buy curtains tomorrow; for now, she would use the bathroom in the master bedroom.

She opened her suitcase, took out her pajamas, and headed to the master bedroom, then naturally pushed open the bathroom door...
