I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating

Chapter 71: Be Careful On the Road

If Lu Wanggui was a pot-bellied, fat, and sleazy man, no matter how rich he was and how many luxurious villas he wore on his wrist, Xiang Xiaoyuan would not be tempted.

She loved money and also liked to earn money, but she paid more attention to looks. Before she transmigrated, she dated handsome men. If their faces did not pass the test, she would not continue to develop a relationship with them.

She could not be helped. She was just that shallow. She was good-looking, tall, elegant, and beautiful. She was one of the best among women. She did not like dating “beasts”. She liked beautiful women with handsome men. Just looking at such a pair made her happy.

Most men liked flaunting the women around them. It seemed that the more beautiful a woman was, the more face she would have. Men could be visual beings, so could women.

If this man did not have good looks, no matter how profound and knowledgeable he was, she would not desire him.

Lu Wanggui was clearly the best among men.

He had wealth that others could only dream of but could not attain. He also had a good figure that other men did not have. He had the wisdom and steadiness of a successful person, but he did not act like he was superior. He was humble and polite to others, even when he was talking to a waiter. No one could find any flaw in him.

Ever since she met Lu Wanggui, she had never seen Lu Wanggui lose his temper with anyone or be rude to anyone. The charm of a mature man was epitomized by him. That kind of steadiness that had been polished over time was like a treasured red wine. The older it was, the more mellow and fragrant it was.

It could also be that he had been at the top of the power hierarchy for many years. No matter what happened, he was calm and collected. He was like a big mountain that contained everything.

Apart from his personality and temperament, his appearance was also superior. Whether it was his hair, looks, or figure, he had taken good care of them. He did not look like a 39-year-old man at all.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had secretly observed Lu Wanggui and wanted to find out how he took care of himself. However, there was only a bar of facial soap in the bathroom. There were no high-grade skincare products, and she did not see Lu Wanggui applying any essential oil to his face.

In the end, Xiang Xiaoyuan could only attribute his youth to self-discipline. In his busy work schedule and frequent business trips, he still maintained the habit of working out. He would go out for a run almost every morning.

Xiang Xiaoyuan asked herself, if Lu Wanggui’s work was transferred to her, would she be able to achieve Lu Wanggui’s self-discipline?

No, she could not.

She wished that she could spend all her time sleeping, working out, running… don’t even think about it!

Lu Wanggui was so outstanding that Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that it was normal for her to be attracted to him. No one could resist the attraction of an outstanding man, especially when this man was her husband in name who she met every day.

However, being moved was one thing, but actually changing the current relationship was another.

She felt that her thoughts about Lu Wanggui were similar to that of a “star chaser”. It was fine as long as she admired him, there was no need for her to actually own him.

Xiang Xiaoyuan followed behind Lu Wanggui with wild thoughts. At the entrance of the restaurant, three boys were standing at the side.

Lu Bei and Wei Zihang were inexplicably at odds today. The two of them would start quarreling as they talked. At this moment, the two of them were standing at the side of the pillar at the entrance, not knowing what to say. Lu Bei’s brows were filled with impatience. Xu Xiyao stood not far away from them. His back was straight and he looked straight ahead. He did not interrupt the conversation between Lu Bei and Wei Zihang. Instead, he stood on his own.

Xiang Xiaoyuan walked up to Xu Xiyao without thinking. She was not considered short. She was over 1.7 meters tall in high heels, but she was still much shorter than Xu Xiyao.

“Xu Xiyao, where do you live? I’ll send you home first.” Xiang Xiaoyuan quickly made the arrangements. “Wei Zihang is not far from our house. Lu Bei’s father will be responsible for sending him home. I’ll be responsible for sending you home. How about that?”

Xu Xiyao shook his head. He was still carrying the bag with food in his hand. Perhaps he was too tired, his originally clear voice was now a little hoarse. “There’s no need. I’ll just take the subway.”

“Ah? Alright then.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not force him. “Then you have to be careful on the road.”

After saying that, her gaze turned to Wei Zihang. Thinking about how she had arranged for Lu Wanggui to send him home, Wei Zihang’s skin went numb and his sleepiness was swept away. “No, there’s no need to trouble you.”

He reacted quickly and stood beside Xu Xiyao, putting his arm around his shoulder as if he was familiar with him. “I’ll take the subway with Xu Xiyao. I can also ask him some questions about his studies while I’m at it.”

Lu Bei: “…”

Are you sure that you, a bad student, have questions that need to be asked?

Xu Xiyao glanced at Wei Zihang. The latter smiled sheepishly and let go of his arm, urging, “Let’s go. We won’t be able to catch the subway later.”
