Dominant CEO: Love Too Late

In the evening, Jiang Ci finally managed to gather her thoughts.

After getting into bed, she asked Lu Yudong, "What materials did you submit to the prosecutor's office?"

Lu Yudong took a stack of documents from the bedside table and handed them to Jiang Ci. "See for yourself."

The more Jiang Ci read, the more shocked she became: Over a decade ago, Chu Linsheng had conspired with several companies to boycott the emerging real estate company, Bosch Real Estate. They even orchestrated a scandalous "widow falling case" to frame Bosch Real Estate's President, Lu Ming, causing the company's reputation in Jiangzhou to plummet. Lu Ming's attempted suicide failed, and he left for abroad with his wife.

Jiang Ci glanced at Lu Yudong. He wasn't reading; he was leaning against the headboard, smoking with his eyes half-closed.

"Lu Ming is..." Jiang Ci searched for the right words.

"Your father-in-law," Lu Yudong interjected.

Jiang Ci nodded slowly. Now she finally knew where her parents-in-law had gone.

She suddenly realized that beneath Lu Yudong's calm and strategic demeanor lay a painful past, a past caused by Chu Shuo's father, while Grandpa was suffering from lung cancer.

She wanted to hug Lu Yudong, but feared he might push her away.

She had always thought she was the pitiful one, but now she realized Lu Yudong was too.

Unable to suppress her impulse, she turned and hugged Lu Yudong.

"I didn't know before," Jiang Ci suddenly burst into tears, her voice tinged with grievance.

"Didn't know what?" Lu Yudong heard the unusual tone in Jiang Ci's voice and saw her crying, looking quite pitiful, which made him chuckle.

"That I was angry with you before because I didn't know you were also..." Jiang Ci wiped her tears, suddenly feeling that Lu Yudong was so good to her. He gave her money, helped her with everything, found a caregiver for her mom. Their relationship had no foundation, just money, yet he did what he should. "If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have been mad at you!"

This was actually a plan by Lu Yudong. Chu Shuo wanted to embarrass him by buying clothes, but he wouldn't let that happen. If Jiang Ci knew the clothes were bought by Chu Shuo, who knows what would happen. So, Lu Yudong used this plan to make Jiang Ci think that the previous misunderstanding about the clothes was just that—a misunderstanding. He let Chu Shuo reveal it himself, showing Chu Shuo's petty mind. After this warning, Chu Shuo would have to think twice before making a move.

Unexpectedly, the actors remained unemotional, but the audience was moved.

Lu Yudong's goal was achieved!

"So, don't upset your husband too often in the future!" Lu Yudong seized the opportunity to say.

Jiang Ci nodded solemnly.

The next day, Jiang Ci got up early, one of the rare times she woke up earlier than Lu Yudong since they started living together.

Jiang Ci was downstairs making breakfast with Aunt Fang, and she also made herself a lunchbox for noon.

When Lu Yudong came downstairs, Jiang Ci carefully set his breakfast: steamed buns, tofu pudding, pickles, eggs...

"Changed your ways? Learned to care for your husband?" Lu Yudong said while fastening his cufflinks.

"Yes, didn't I tell you last night that I won't make you angry anymore?" Jiang Ci stood in front of Lu Yudong, looking up at him.

Grandpa just smiled and lowered his head to eat when he saw them talking.

"What's this?" Lu Yudong asked Jiang Ci, seeing the lunchbox beside the dining table.

"Oh, that's the lunch I made for myself. It's all light food—chicken breast, broccoli stir-fried with shrimp, stir-fried cabbage, and mixed-grain rice. You don't let me eat spicy food, but most of the food outside is heavily seasoned, so I made it myself." Jiang Ci answered Lu Yudong seriously, holding her chopsticks.

"Very good." After saying these two words, Lu Yudong started eating.

After the meal, Jiang Ci got into the car with her lunchbox and cautiously said, "Husband, since I didn't know what you like to eat, I didn't make anything for you."

"Braised beef, chicken breast, minced meat with mushrooms, stir-fried green peppers with meat, garlic sprouts with meat, stir-fried shrimp, chilled lotus root slices, just these home-cooked dishes for now. You can't make anything more advanced."

Jiang Ci coughed lightly. She was just making a polite remark to explain why she didn't bring Lu Yudong lunch.

But what did he mean by saying she couldn't make anything more advanced?

Was he implying that she should make something for him next time?

Jiang Ci felt like she had shot herself in the foot, taking on an extra task for no reason.
