“No, why wouldn’t we be? Brother Yan, we’re already married, and we’ve been married for so long. How could we only now realize that we’re not suitable for each other now?” Lu Shu looked at Li Yan in confusion, she was extremely anxious. “Brother Yan, is this about my family and my father? I know, I know that it’s very difficult for you to accept someone like my father, but this can’t be an obstacle between us. We’re us, and my father is my father! I can’t choose my parents, but I can choose my own way, and I can choose my life. This shouldn’t get in the way, Brother Yan!”

Li Yan took a deep look at Lu Shu, who was lying to herself. He forced himself to be cruel and threw the hard truth at her. “Lu Shu, stop lying to yourself. We’re not suitable for each other. We’re really not suitable for each other. It’s not just your father’s problem. There are other aspects as well. Our personalities are one aspect, but there’s also the matter of our values and our attitude toward life. I could go on all day.”

Li Yan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was no hesitation or doubt in his eyes, only determination and resolution.

“I know that you love me very much, and I’ve tried very hard to accept you for who you are. But I realize now that I can’t do it. I really can’t do it. Lu Shu, I don’t love you, and I can’t fall in love with you. I’m sorry.”

Lu Shu’s face was as pale as a sheet, and her body swayed. She almost fell. “Sorry? I don’t want you to be sorry. I only want you. I won’t divorce you. I won’t agree to divorce you. You can only be mine. You can only be mine.”

Li Yan was frightened by Lu Shu’s sudden, unhinged rambling. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly went to help Lu Shu up. “Lu Shu, calm down.”

“You’re going to divorce me. How can I calm down?” As Lu Shu spoke, she grabbed Li Yan’s outstretched hand and stared at his bloodshot eyes as she pleaded, “Brother Yan, don’t divorce me. Don’t leave me, okay?”

Li Yan let her hold him and lowered his head to avoid her gaze. He did not say anything. Lu Shu’s expression instantly became twisted and crazy.

Just as the two of them were arguing and neither of them could convince the other, a familiar RV suddenly appeared in front of them. Then, a few men in black got out of the RV.

“Miss.”

Lu Shu and Li Yan were stunned when they saw these people. A few seconds later, Lu Shu was the first to react. She wiped the tears from her face and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here?”

The leading bodyguard in black took a step forward and said in neither a servile nor overbearing manner, “The Master has something to ask you to come home. Please cooperate with us.”

“My father? Why is my father looking for me again? Didn’t we just meet not too long ago?” Lu Shu frowned. She stared unhappily at the bodyguards in black who had turned up, as if she disliked the fact that their appearance was too coincidental and had disturbed her and Li Yan.

“We don’t know the details. If there’re any problems, you can ask the Master when we get back,” the leading bodyguard in black replied in neither a servile nor overbearing manner.

Lu Shu, on the other hand, was very displeased with his attitude, more so since she was already filled with anger because of Li Yan’s words just now. Now, she had been interrupted. She did not like these people very much, to begin with. His words became a fuse, causing Lu Shu to find a way to vent her anger. “What’s the point of having you if you don’t know anything? Go back and tell my father that I still have things to deal with here. Later, I’ll go over and apologize to him.”

Surprisingly, the few of them did not leave after hearing her words. Instead, they remained on the spot, “I’m sorry, Miss,” he said coldly. “The orders we received were to bring you back safely. Please forgive us for not agreeing to your request. It’s best that you voice out any grievances to your father directly.”

The bodyguard was standing his ground. If Lu Shu still did not sense that something was wrong, she would really be too slow.

“Did my father really send you here? What’s going on? How could my father give you such an order?”

The bodyguard looked at Lu Shu in disbelief. Without changing his expression, he said, “Miss, we’ve been by your father’s side for so long. You should have seen us before. Apart from him, no one else can command us. So, Miss, you don’t have to doubt the nature of our orders. As for the reason, I’m sorry, we really don’t know.”

The bodyguard’s confession did not make Lu Shu feel much more relaxed. Instead, she only tensed up even more. When she took in their serious expressions, Lu Shu felt that they had come with ill intentions.

The unwillingness in her heart was magnified to the limit at this moment. Lu Shu reflexively took a step back and bumped into Li Yan.

Lu Shu was stunned for a moment, but her eyes immediately lit up. She grabbed Li Yan’s arm and pleaded, “Brother Yan, can you come with me?”

Li Yan was stunned. He wanted to refuse, but in the end, he was no match for Lu Shu’s mournful pleas. For some reason, he nodded.

Lu Shu was overjoyed. Although she was still a little worried, she felt much more at ease than before. She pulled Li Yan into the black car.

At the same time, on the other side, Zhao Youlin was bringing the two children back to the Zhao family to accompany Duan Yarong. Mu Tingfeng rarely came along with her. Duan Yarong was overjoyed when she saw the two children and refused to let go of them.

The family was very harmonious, but at that moment, Zhao Youlin’s phone suddenly rang.

The few of them subconsciously looked over when they heard the ringtone. Zhao Youlin looked at the display on the phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number. She frowned and rejected the call, but she didn’t expect it to ring again after a while.

Zhao Youlin smiled apologetically at the others. She got up and walked out to pick up the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, a familiar chuckle came from the other end. “Are you very busy now? Why did you reject my call?”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice. It took her quite a while to come back to her senses. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Young Master Lu?”

“That’s right, it’s me. Ms. Zhao, are you very surprised?”

“How do you have my phone number?” Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes slightly with obvious danger.

Lu Sizheng didn’t seem to notice it at all. He chuckled and said, “It’s not important. What’s important is that the Lu family is putting on a good show. I just want to ask if you are free to come and take a look with me?”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows and quickly understood what Lu Sizheng meant. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she couldn’t overcome her curiosity. She said in a low voice, “Where is the stage? Is it already screening?”
