I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating

Chapter 46: Wedding Gift

She came out of the bathroom with a body full of steam and the faint fragrance of rose essential oil.

Lu Wanggui was sitting on the sofa reading a book. His studiousness was admirable. Xiang Xiaoyuan began to reflect. Sure enough, it made sense for rich people to be rich. If she worked as hard as Lu Wanggui, she would have joined the circle of rich women long ago.

His nose was filled with a strong rose fragrance. Lu Wanggui raised his head and his voice sounded a little hoarse in the middle of the night. “Did the housekeeper give the bank card to you?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was puzzled. “What bank card?”

“I told you on the wedding day that the gift money given by the guests will be collected in a card and given to you by the butler.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was stunned. She knew that the guests would give some money at the wedding, but the housekeeper had never mentioned this to her.

Lu Wanggui: “Did you forget again?”

After a pause, he smiled and shook his head. “Your memory has never been good. The butler might have also forgotten about it.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan blinked her eyes and suddenly realized that this was a huge gift from the heavens!

It’s Lu Wanggui. It was impossible that the amount of money for his wedding would be small!

Xiang Xiaoyuan’s eyes sparkled, “I remember now.”

Lu Wanggui’s fingers paused as he flipped through the book. A hint of a smile flashed across his calm eyes. “Okay, then I’ll remind the butler tomorrow.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan rubbed her hands in excitement. She had said it before. As the wife of a wealthy man, how could she only have 200,000 yuan in savings? She would not take the initiative to ask Lu Wanggui for money, but the money that others had given to her, she would not refuse.

At night, the man and woman slept peacefully.

Xiang Xiaoyuan always slept well. Not long after she laid down, there was the sound of even breathing. The only thing was that she’s a greedy sleeper.

It was not yet dawn outside. Lu Wanggui stared at the ceiling with listless eyes. He did not wake up naturally, he was woken up by the cold. Looking sideways, Xiang Xiaoyuan tucked all the quilt under her body and was sleeping soundly.

Did she forget that there was someone else on the bed?

Lu Wanggui pressed his temples and struggled to get up from the bed. Xiang Xiaoyuan had changed so much that he could not ignore it even if he wanted to. Last night, he listed out a few possibilities, and after eliminating them one by one, there was only one most absurd possibility left in his mind.

He had not known Xiang Xiaoyuan for long, just three months. During these three months, he did not have any impression of Xiang Xiaoyuan, or rather, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s presence was too forgettable.

The reason why he had agreed to this seemingly ridiculous engagement was not only to keep his promise, but also because of Xiang Xiaoyuan’s quiet and honest character. Such a person would not be a problem if she became his wife, her presence was so weak that it could be completely ignored.

Just like what he had said before, she had said more to him in one day yesterday than she had in the past three months.

On the so-called wedding night, she stood in the master bedroom at a loss, not knowing where to place her hands and feet. She was like a startled bird or a taut string that could break at the slightest touch.

He had no intention of forcing her to fulfill their marital obligation. He only hoped that she would not be too nervous. After a few words of comfort and seeing that it was not working, he knew that his presence would make her more anxious, so he said good night and turned around to go to the second bedroom that he had been sleeping in.

The next morning, he left home on the pretext of a business trip, giving Xiang Yuan enough time and space to adapt to her new home.

Who would have thought that when he returned, she had changed so much.

Lu Wanggui deliberately lowered his voice when he was washing up to avoid waking Xiang Xiaoyuan up. Even though he felt that even if he made any noise, it would probably be difficult to wake her up based on how well she was sleeping.

As a lazy person who had nothing to do, Xiang Xiaoyuan slept until the sun was high in the morning every day, and then she would lie in bed for a while before lazily getting up. Lu Bei’s schedule was also very messy. When he did not have classes, he only got up in the afternoon.

Butler Liu understood Lu Wanggui’s schedule. Seeing him go downstairs to the cloakroom to change his clothes, he hurriedly went up to greet him. “Sir, breakfast and today’s financial newspapers are ready.”

Lu Wanggui nodded. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly remembered what happened last night. He paused and whispered, “When Madam gets up later, go to the safe in the study and get a bank card.”

Butler Liu: “… For who? Young Master?”

It was hard to tell whether he meant to give it to Madam or Young Master. In the house, there were only two of them. Based on his past habits, he guessed that it was Young Master.

Lu Wanggui shook his head. He wanted to say to Xiang Xiaoyuan, but it was a little strange for couples to call each other by their first names. However, he could not call her by her first name like how she called him.

Fortunately, Butler Liu reacted quickly. “Is it for Madam?”

“Yes.”

Lu Wanggui nodded slightly and said, “The password is Xiaobei’s birthday. You can just tell her directly. If she asks, just say that it was a gift from the guests at the wedding. You don’t have to mention it if she doesn’t ask.”
