Arriving at the penthouse owned by Yong Liwei, he instructed the housekeeper to bring Lu Mengjie's things in another room besides his.

"Wait up!" Lu Mengjie quickly halted the housekeeper before she turned to Yong Liwei and frowned. "What do you mean the room beside yours? Do I have to remind you that I am your wife?"

"I don't like sharing my room."

"Sadly, you have to do it now." She returned her sharp gaze to the other man and ordered, "bring my things to his room. From now on, you will only listen to me."

The housekeeper was reluctant to obey her words, not when an ominous air was suddenly felt in the room, all coming from his boss.

"What are you waiting for? Don't worry, I'll handle this man." She even slapped Yong Liwei's arm when she addressed the man. She could simply feel the iciness in the atmosphere but she was already immune to it.

"Do you want this day to be your last?"

The housekeeper was about to follow her but paused when he heard his boss' cold voice. Poor man, he didn't know who to follow at all. He was in the middle of the couple's fight.

"What did I say? You don't have to worry about your job. If my husband will fire you, I'll just hire you instead," she grinned.

In the end, the poor housekeeper carried her things and rushed out of the room, leaving the couple behind.

"Lu Mengjie," Yong Liwei warned.

"It's Mrs. Han – ah, or is it Mrs. Yong? Either way, I'm your wife." She smirked widely at him as she crossed her arms. "Maybe I should make a big copy of our marriage certificate and put it on the wall to keep you reminded of it?" She heaved out a sigh. "I can't believe my brothers are right. You really are getting old."

Yong Liwei's brow twitched in annoyance with her sharp remarks. He had never met a woman who was so brave to insult him on his face without trembling in fear. He ended up sighing helplessly. Her father was right, he would really need to have a lot of patience when it came to her or else, he would have killed her already. 

"Mr. Yong?"

Their attention was stolen when they heard a woman's soft voice.

Lu Mengjie narrowed her eyes and instantly shot her head to the owner of the voice. A young woman, sitting in a wheelchair, was looking at them with wide eyes. Lu Mengjie's first impression of her was as a small herbivore. An adorable white rabbit.

"Who… who is she?"

Before Yong Liwei could even open his mouth, the woman beside him caught him up to it. Lu Mengjie hugged his arm and flashed her a charming smile. "I'm his wife."

The girl's face went pale as if she just saw a ghost. Her reaction was enough to make Lu Mengjie think that she was one of Yong Liwei's women. She tightened her hug on the man's arm but his reaction remained blank.

"My name is Lu Mengjie, and you are?"

The other girl was quiet for a few seconds as she hung her head low. She did not hide her animosity against her. She bit her lower lip and even balled her fists tightly.

Hearing no response from her, Lu Mengjie turned to her husband who was looking at the woman who was sitting in the wheelchair. Why did it suddenly feel like she was the third party? She hated the feeling and she was not going to allow such an atmosphere in this place. She just knew what to say at that moment. Her lips curled into a plain smile. "Is she one of your mistresses?"

Finally, she was able to get his attention. "No."

"Then?"

"A student I sponsor. Her name is Wei Sianqi"

"Oh! A minor!" She glanced at the girl who was trying her best to control herself and suppress whatever emotion she was feeling inside. Even if Yong Liwei denied his relationship with the other woman, Lu Mengjie still couldn't help but feel a prick in her chest. "She must be like a daughter to you, right? Or else I'll have to report my husband to the police for showing symptoms of being a pedophile."

"Mr. Yong is not a pedophile." Wei Sianqi's voice was heard again. It was so soft even when she shouted in Yong Liwei's defense.

"Of course, he's not." Lu Mengjie finally released Yong Liwei's arm before she approached the woman in the wheelchair. She stopped right in front of her. "Since you are like a daughter to my husband, I will treat you like one. It's nice to meet you, Xiao Sianqi."

Outside, Lu Mengjie may look like a kind and nice woman who was treating the younger girl with her goodness but behind her sympathetic façade, she was actually just putting Wei Sianqi in her rightful place. She was not blind. She could clearly see that she has feelings for Yong Liwei. Aside from that, Wei Sianqi was just a few years younger than her, she was not going to treat her as her daughter. She was still a rival in love. Lu Mengjie was not going to put her guards down when it came to this woman. She was the reason why Han Yizhou had fallen asleep. 

"How long will she be staying here?" Lu Mengjie asked as she faced her husband's way.

Yong Liwei couldn't help but inwardly sigh. "Until she gets better."

"Can't she live with her parents?"

"She's an orphan."

"Oh…" She paused and eyed Wei Sianqi. "Then buy her a place."

"She can't live alone."

"Hire someone then."

"I can't."

"Why?" Lu Mengjie ended up raising a brow. She couldn't help but wonder why he wanted to keep her close? Did he actually like her? Another pang was felt. She was jealous.

Yong Liwei remained silent instead of answering her question which created tension between the couple. 

"Mr. Yong… I'm going back to my room…" Wei Sianqi turned the joystick attached to her wheelchair's armrest. "I'll skip dinner tonight…"
