chapter 61

Ai looked at him, sulking. She cursed him secretly.

“I’ll give you three seconds to think. Having a meal or…” Lu raised his eyebrows, glancing at her bosom.

As if she had scalded, Ai held the blanket tighter. “If… If you dare to harass me, I will tell my grandfather. He’ll agree with the divorce.”

Ai felt that it was a great idea. She praised her wits and then straightened up. “I will tell my grandfather that you use violence. I have bruises all over. You…you even keep me hungry. You’ll definitely face the consequences.”

As a son-in-law, he was certainly scared of the mother-in-law and the father-in-law. Although Ai’s parents had passed away when they were young, she had a grandfather who coddled her. Lu looked troubled. If Ai’s grandfather found out, it would bring shame for Lu’s family, and they would be forced to divorce.

Lu’s expression grew dark. “If you want to tell him, we’ll have to divorce. But…”

“But what?” Ai was satisfied with her smart thinking. She had a grandfather who always had her back, so Lu wouldn’t dare to harm her.

“But I will miss you after we divorce. I would only be able to look at your photos for comfort.” Lu gazed up to show that he was sad and hurt.

“…” Photo? What photo? Did he have any photos of her? She didn’t remember if she’d ever given him her photo.

“Or…did he snap pictures while I was sleeping?” Thinking this, Ai lost her complacent expression. She even looked embarrassed.

“Don’t lie to me. You’ve never had my picture.” She smiled, pretending to be calm. “I won’t be tricked.”

“Oh really?” Lu smiled but didn’t say more.

Lu acted as if he didn’t care, but Ai was getting nervous. On the one hand, she believed Lu was lying. On the other hand, she worried that it was true.

He was a total asshole. How could he threaten her with her picture? Ahhhh! She was pissed off.

Ai didn’t want to compromise. She jumped up from the bed, shouting at Lu, “Go post it on the Internet. You will also feel ashamed, Lu Zhanke! Post it if you dare! You think I’m afraid of you?”

She shivered with anger, gritting her teeth and glaring at Lu with hatred. Why? Why did he lock her up in here? She wanted a place that belonged to herself. She wanted freedom. Couldn’t she at least have those things?

There was a flash of surprise in Lu’s eyes when he heard her shouting. “I never said I would post it online. How could I let other men see my wife?”

What? Now it was Ai’s turn to be confused. “What’s he going to do if he doesn’t want to post it?”

“You…you want to blackmail me? Give me a price. How much do you want? I promise I won’t bargain.” Ai wanted to turn the problem into a small matter.

Lu could do nothing but sigh. How could such a woman exist in this world? She was…really…adorable.

He took out his phone and put on an act, flipping it over in his hands. “I told you before. I keep these pictures because I want to see you whenever I want to. These are only for me.”

“…” Shit. Nude photos indeed. Ai felt as if there were a volcano erupting in her heart. She really wanted to tear Lu apart and make him into a meat pie.

“I was surprised that you have such a beautiful body. Tiny waist. Long legs…”

“Stop talking!” Ai interrupted him, her face burning red. There were plenty of curse words in her throat, but she stopped herself and only stared at him.

“Alright. Let’s switch topics.” Lu put away his phone. “If you miss your grandfather, call him. Or you can go back home to see him. I won’t stop you. But…when I miss you…”

“…Stop talking!” She flushed. This asshole snapped those dirty pictures and stored them on his phone. It made her sick to even think about it. She even wished she could kill him.

Lu raised his eyebrow. “I’m starving. Are you hungry?”

“No! Damn you! You can lick your face when you’re hungry. Pachyderm! Go feed yourself with your thick skin!”

“She’s still not giving up. So stubborn!”

“Alright. I’ll eat by myself.” He took out his phone and turned around.

She knew he wasn’t necessarily looking at her pictures, but Ai still jumped down from the bed and dashed to him. “Lu Zhanke!”

“What?” Lu turned around and looked at her.

Unable to stop in time, Ai crashed into Lu’s arms. “Ayo!”

Lu was amused, and he quickly held out a hand to steady her. “Why are you always so reckless?”

Ai peeked at his screen while she rubbed her forehead, but Lu put it into his pocket before she could see it clearly.

It happened in a flash. Ai didn’t see anything, and she couldn’t help cursing at Lu secretly.

Seeing Ai so irritated, Lu asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Emmm….I’m hungry. ” It was true, but she didn’t jump down from the bed because she said this. She jumped down because she wanted to look at the photos.

Lu was pleased, but he feigned indifference. “OK. Let’s have some food,” he said calmly.

After saying this, he walked away.

Watching him from behind, Ai gritted her teeth and cursed, “You must have been an actor in your previous life. What a great act.”

She rubbed her cheeks to get rid of her dark expression and walked downstairs.

Ai kept glancing at Lu while they were eating. She thought about stealing his phone and deleting those pictures, but Lu was a cautious person. It would not be easy to steal his phone.

Lu already knew what she was thinking, but he pretended to be oblivious. However, it seemed that she wouldn’t be leaving it alone.

They had lunch as if they were at peace, and Lu went out for work. Ai sat in the living room for a while and then went upstairs in a hurry.

At this moment, she had no choice but to ask her adviser for help. Her adviser was none other than Ji Xingfan.

It had already been a month since all the gossip, and things had already been settled. Bai Jin had arranged for Ji to shoot a Chinese swordplay movie. She had to wear several layers of costume on hot summer days, and she was hung up with wires in the air. Ji had a shouting match with Bai Jin on the phone, and she told him not to appear in front of her for the next three months.

Ai’s call came in just after Ji hung up.

If it had happened several months ago, Ji would have picked it up without hesitation, but now she hesitated.

After three seconds, she finally took the call. Then she shouted, “Saner, why are you calling me on this nice afternoon instead of doing something exciting with your man? Or do you need some guidance?”

“…” Why were there so many people in the world who never took things seriously? Ai broke out in cold sweat.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” She grew concerned when she didn’t hear Ai’s answer. “What’s wrong, Saner?”

Alright. Now the woman had a bit of conscience and finally started to worry about her. Ai sighed heavily. “Fan…”

Ai told her all the recent happenings that had been troubling her.

“Fan, what do you think I should do?”

Now it was Ji Fanxing’s turn to be speechless. After a while, she managed a sentence. “Damn. He is so quick…”

“…” My god. Wasn’t that the main problem? Ai even wanted to beat her.

“Saner…” Ji Xingfan licked her lips. “Are you sure that you two have already done it?”

“…There was blood on the towel…” Ai’s face turned red again. If someone put an egg on her face, it would boil.

“That doesn’t mean anything. Perhaps it was because of your period.” Ji Xingfan still didn’t believe Lu had done it. Ai was childish and naive, always unguarded, but…It shouldn’t have happened. It wouldn’t have been that easy for Lu, right?

“How is that possible? I have one more week before that thing comes.” She not only had a backache but also had a headache…

“OK,” Ji said. “You’d better hope he didn’t hit a bull’s eye in one shot…”

“What?” Ai asked innocently.

“A lucky strike. Pregnant! Lu is a real man. It’s possible.” Ji Xingfan was practically shouting.

“No…no way….” Ai’s voice shook. She was shocked.

“It depends on your fortune, Saner. Don’t blame the world if you are unlucky. It’s your destiny.” Ji seemed to gloat.

“What…what should I do, Fan?” Ai was anxious. If she had Lu’s baby, she would have to stay with him forever. But she didn’t want to. Not at all.

“One more week. If you have your period next week, you can relax. Then you can steal your photos during this period.”

“But he always takes his phone with him. It won’t be easy to steal them.”

“You have to figure out a way, alright? I’m shooting right now. Use your judgment and act when you see the opportunity. Call me if you have any trouble.” Fan stopped for a moment as if she had something to say, but she hesitated and just said, “Bye, Saner.”

Ai felt that it was strange. This was the first time she had said goodbye so seriously. But there were too many strange things that had happened recently, so she didn’t think much of it.
