Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Lu Xingzhou, Let’s Get a Divorce~ (Please Vote for This Must-Read)

At this moment, Rong Mansion.

Jiang Man opened her bleary eyes, feeling a severe soreness throughout her body.

Last night, Lu Xingzhou had worked out all night, and although she was the one who hadn’t moved at all, her body’s delayed reactions didn’t diminish in the slightest.

"Do you need to take a leave from school for you today?"

Lu Xingzhou walked out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe and holding a white towel in his hand.

Jiang Man turned over and glanced at the time on her phone.

"No need, if we eat breakfast on the road, we’ll make it on time."

Having said that, she threw off the covers and got up.

She was wearing ice silk pajamas, close-fitting to her body, and her jet-black hair naturally draped over her back.

The sunlight shone through the window onto her, making her already delicate and pretty face look even more charming.

As Lu Xingzhou towel-dried his hair, he looked up and saw this captivating scene.

Tall and slender, with an elegant figure.

The top two buttons of the pajamas were undone, revealing her snow-white neck, and there were several reddish marks on it, his masterpiece from last night.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhou smugly curved the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Man, barefooted, stepped on the soft cashmere carpet and walked into the bathroom, checking herself in the mirror first thing.

When she saw the red marks here and there on her fair skin, she cried out in anger, "Lu Xingzhou, didn’t we agree no hickey marks?"

Her voice was loud and could not hide her annoyance.

Lu Xingzhou tossed the towel aside and strode behind her, wrapping his arms around her slender waist from behind.

"Then why don’t you mark me as well, for a tooth for a tooth? I don’t mind..."

He deliberately leaned close to Jiang Man’s earlobe, hot breath spraying on her cheek and neck.

Jiang Man felt an itch all over her body and involuntarily shrugged her shoulders.

But Lu Xingzhou’s mischievous smile grew even wider as he stretched out his own neck, "Here, bite anywhere you like."

"I’m not a dog," Jiang Man turned her head and glared at him, "Next time you bite me, I’ll carve words on your face."

"Oh?" Lu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, his eyes twinkling with light, intrigued, "Carve what?"

"Jiang Man’s dog," Jiang Man said coldly, defiantly.

Lu Xingzhou, far from being angry at her words, nibbled on her earlobe instead, "Good... if that’s what you like... I’m willing..."

His extremely beguiling voice left Jiang Man defenseless.

They say there is no such thing as bad land, only a dead ox from overwork.

However, for her, it was quite the reverse.

Lu Xingzhou was an iron ox that never tired, but her land couldn’t hold up anymore.

"Lu Xingzhou... you really are... so noisy!"

Lu Xingzhou didn’t argue, buried his face in her neck, inhaling the faint scent of her body wash mixed with a unique sweetness that belonged to her, very fragrant, sweet, and beautiful.

Ding ding ding—

Just as the young couple was inseparable, a cellphone ringtone sounded in the bedroom.

Lu Xingzhou frowned and reluctantly let go of the girl in his embrace.

Jiang Man lazily squeezed toothpaste and brushed her teeth leisurely.

"Grandmother," Lu Xingzhou picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Zhou’er, there is something... I don’t know quite how to begin, but Manman has come to the house..."

"Hmm?" Lu Xingzhou didn’t pay much attention to the old lady’s words, his gaze lingering on Jiang Man, who was washing up.

"Manman... my lifesaver, Jiang Man."

At these words, Lu Xingzhou’s attention snapped back, his brow furrowed and his expression turning serious immediately, "What has she come for?"

"You bring Manman back to the old mansion for a bit. Manman says she has something she wants to announce to the family. Let’s just listen to what she has to say first."

"Grandmother, I’m very busy with work, and Manman has school."

What he meant was—No time, can’t make it!

"Zhou’er, Manman did save me after all, so you and Manman should still come over, and we’ll talk when you get here."

Dudu dudu...

Before Lu Xingzhou could say anything else, the call was suddenly disconnected.

Jiang Man gargled noisily, finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, and looked at the man behind her through the mirror.

"Jiang Man went to the old house, and grandma wants us to go there together," Lu Xingzhou said with a stern expression, his face clearly unhappy.

He turned Jiang Man’s body around, staring straight at her, "Jiang Man, we are legally married, and the person I love is you. So no matter what Jiang Man wants to do or say, let’s not have any internal disputes between us, okay?"

Jiang Man looked up, seeing him this serious and earnest for the first time.

She snorted lightly, her gaze filled with mischievous meaning, "Lu Xingzhou, our being together was a mistake to begin with. Now that your destined woman has returned, why don’t we just get a divorce?"

"Divorce?" Lu Xingzhou’s pupils shrank, his cold and arrogant face contorting.

But Jiang Man was nonchalant, her expression calm and breezy, "Yeah, divorce."

"Being your wife these past few months has been quite troublesome. Wen Jingya just settled down not long ago, and now here comes Jiang Man. If Jiang Man gets dealt with, what if another woman pops up? I’m tired of these female rivalries and I don’t care for them."

Her tone was indifferent, and her reaction was even more composed.

She seemed like an ascetic, aloof from emotions, capable of letting go easily.

But Lu Xingzhou couldn’t.

"I promise you, from now on, I will personally deal with all these other women, including this incident with Jiang Man."

Lu Xingzhou held Jiang Man’s shoulders tightly, looking into her eyes without blinking.

"Get dressed and come with me to the old house!"

It was as if he’d made an important decision, his tone low and his gaze steadfast.

...

An hour later, the two arrived at the old house.

Breakfast was long over, and the whole family was sitting in the living room, eating snacks and drinking tea.

The atmosphere in the hall was strange, Lu Xuemei’s seed-cracking sounds were particularly pleasant.

"The young master and young mistress have arrived!"

The servants hurried over to report.

Upon hearing this, the whole family stood up to greet them.

Lu Xingzhou walked into the living room holding Jiang Man’s hand, the couple entering side by side, looking very much the match.

"Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Auntie."

The couple said in unison.

After exchanging greetings, Lu Xingzhou looked around, quickly fixing his gaze on a petite girl who wasn’t very tall.

"Jiang Man, you dare to show up here?" His voice was cold, devoid of any emotion, making one’s spine stiffen on hearing it.

On meeting his gaze, those ice-cold, ominous eyes were even more chilling.

There was a strong sense of danger, as if they were mortal enemies.

Jiang Man was somewhat panicked. Despite being fully prepared mentally, she was still terrified upon seeing Lu Xingzhou.

"Brother Zhou, your gaze is so scary... What have I done to offend you?" she asked, squeezing out a smile, her voice gentle and soft.

Lu Xingzhou had no patience, his attitude even worse, "Spare me the inane pleasantries, if you have something to say, say it now!"

"Um..." Jiang Man bit her lip, her smile bitter.

She glanced around at everyone present, sweeping her gaze counterclockwise, and finally settled on the old lady.

"Grandma, I regret it," she said.

Although the family had all prepared themselves, upon hearing Jiang Man’s words, they were instantaneously thrown into chaos.

"Regret? What do you regret?" Lu Xuemei was the most agitated.

Meng Lian also couldn’t help saying, "Manman, it was you who ran away from the wedding. There is no cure for regret in such matters!"

"Exactly! Zhou’er has already married Manman. What do you mean by saying you regret it now?" Lu Yaobang said fiercely.

The old lady was the last to speak, her hand trembling almost dropping the teacup she was holding.

A forced smile crossed her lips, both strained and awkward, "Manman, it’s true that you are our benefactor, and it’s also true I wanted you to marry into the Lu Family to repay you. But many things in life have rules, and since you chose to run away from the wedding, even regret won’t help now!"

"Grandma, everyone, you all misunderstand me," Jiang Man said with a beaming smile, her bright doe eyes twinkling, "I haven’t finished speaking yet!"
