The Sweetest ‘Fake’ Couple

Chapter 122 - Brother (1)

February 07, 2022

 “The uncle policeman is busy and won’t care about these trivial matters.” Chi Chenyan kissed Lu Li’s ear, catching the struggling person.

…

When Chi Chenyan and Lu Li got married, they basically lived on Chi Chenyan’s room.

Chi Chenyan rarely enters her room and she will not take the initiative to invite him. Even when she was confused, she unconsciously moved to Chi Chenyan’s room.

It’s like there’s a barrier in her heart, she kept on silently guarding this corner of hers, like a soldier guarding the soft hinterland behind a city.

Here, she is not the wealthy daughter who was married off by her father and brother for the sake of business and crossed over half the motherland, and fell in love with her fake husband in another city, but she was Lu Li, the girl in her early-twenties who likes to chase stars and hide in her room to read those little yellow books.

Until today. The guards in the city were defeated and the enemy held a sharp blade in their hands and rampantly invaded. They went deeper, stripping the soft hinterland, and saw a piece of unguarded beauty and then they oppressed, ravaged, and sang victory songs.

…

Today, the air was cold as it carried the rain and the raindrops on the floor-to-ceiling window made the view looked blurred.

Lu Li slept groggily, her whole body was wrapped in the quilt, her head was exposed, and her long hair was scattered on the pillows.

The door gently slid open.

The voice was light, but it still caused the eyelashes of the person who had her eyes closed to slightly tremble.

Lu Li opened her eyes.

She saw Chi Chenyan coming out of the bathroom, carrying a tie, buttoning the cuffs of his shirt.

She suddenly thought of last night and immediately wrapped the quilt tightly around her shivering body..

Terrible, really terrible.

Even beasts can control themselves, but this man didn’t even have control last night.

When they were a fake couple before, she felt that this matter is still okay, the two of them are adults and they occasionally has their needs. Later on, when she realized that there was a problem, she felt that it might be because of her. She always thought that it was simple, like when she was taken home from the bar, and one night was the limit. However, it wasn’t until last night that she get why people said that ‘a man’s need is never-ending’.

For the first time, she realized that it was pointless to call the police uncle. The man was a knife and she was a fish. He was a big bad wolf and she a little white rabbit. For a few moments, she even thought that she might die young.

Chi Chenyan saw Lu Li open her eyes and drew herself into the quilt as soon as she saw him, unwilling to let him see her body for even a few looks.

He is pretty sure that she is cursing him in her heart right now.

He put on his tie, leaned over, snaking his hand on her waist, and drawing the person to his embrace.

Lu Li’s small head was exposed. She didn’t speak and only eagerly stared at him.

Seeing her appearance, Chi Chenyan suddenly felt good: “I’m going to work.”

Lu Li said ‘um’.

Chi Chenyan pinched her little face and handed her the tie.

Lu Li took the tie. He didn’t know what she was thinking about.

She looked at CHi Chenyan who was sitting on the side of the bed. She still wrapped the tie around his neck and gave him a careful look, looking like a bullied little wife.

Chi Chenyan kissed the space between her brows and told her that the Aunt will deliver her breakfast later.

As soon as Lu Li heard it, she said, “Um… I should… tidy up…”

From the bedroom to the bathroom and then back to the bedroom, there were messy and ambiguous traces. Although what they did are normal for couples, she is still ashamed of others seeing the evidence of their bad deeds.

Chi Chenyan smiled and laughed: “Okay.”

…

Chi Chenyan left, the curtains were half opened, and the view outside the window looked foggy because of the rain.

Lu Li leaned against the bed and then asked the aunt to take hand her the computer.

She recognized that the film that she invested on has been completed, and the final title has also been decided. It was called ‘The Class Next Door’. the whole film is about the only middle school in town. In the face of building demolition, the government planned to transfer all the people in class to the middle school in the city. However, the young people have a deep sense of feelings to their school and teachers in the small town. They would not like to see their school being demolished, and so a series of stories about relatives, friends, and love occurred around it.

Youth films don’t need special effects and the editing and production in the later period are generally very fast. There is no dog-blood drama and the contents are very safe. After the review was passed, they can find a publicity company to announce its release.

Lu Li yawned and nodded with satisfaction at the draft.

Although she said that she didn’t care about the box office, the director would still surely care about it. This may be a very important part of their resumes in the future.

Lu Li first asked the film company to contact a publicity and distribution company first.

The screen of the mobile phone that was placed on the computer desk suddenly turned on.

Lu Li casually glanced at it and suddenly went straight after seeing it.

Half an hour later, a busy figure appeared in front of the washbin.

Lu Li opened her eyes in front of the mirror and drew her eyeliner. She finally sinished her makeup and then picked up a dress in the cloakroom.

She changed her clothes. After that, she took a picture and sent it to Qiao Jiayi.

[Which one is better?]

Qiao Jiayi: [Going on a date?]

Lu Li: [Just help me choose.]

Qiao Jiayi picked a more formal dress.

Lu Li: [Thank you.]

Qiao Jiayi: [Where are you going?]

[What about CCY? Are you going to see CCY?]

Lu Li hurriedly prepared her stuff and went downstairs while replying: [My brother.]

Qiao Jiayi did not reply. She might not have seen it yet or she didn’t know what to say.

The Bentley drove off.

Lu Li was holding her mobile phone, looking at the street with light rain outside the window, feeling uneasy in her heart.

This is not a secret. She has two half-brothers. The eldest brother is sixteen years older than her, and the second brother is only six year older than her.

When she was in Hong Kong City, there were often news tabloids that said that Lu Hengron’s sons did not attend their younger sister’s birthday party. The brothers does not recognize this sister from an actress.

Lu Li thought of this and pursed her lips.

What the tabloid said was true, her brothers did not attend her birthday party. Her little sisters who attended her birthday were disappointed because they didn’t see her brothers.

But she didn’t know if the reason for them not attending were really like what the tabloid said.

Anyway, she had always been conscious since she was a child. She knew that she was different from her older brothers, and when she was older, she knew that the love that her father had for her brothers were different from hers.

She had not played with her brothers very much and they always looked fierce and stern. When she was a child, she hid behind her mother when she saw her older brothers, and even her mother would be polite to her brothers.

This kind of relationship between the second wife’s child of a wealthy family is actually very normal.

When she was in Hong Kong City, she didn’t meet others that much, and she did not even contact her previous friends after she got married and moved out of Hong Kong.

It was her second brother, Lu Qian, who suddenly came to look for her today.

Because he was in City S, it just happened that he encountered a delay on his flight because of the rain. He knew that she was here so he asked to meet her.
