Seeing Gu Nanyan appear before her eyes, Lu Beicheng's brows and eyes slightly sank. Ye Chu was first stunned, then stood up from the chair, greeting with a smile: 'Nanyan.' Looking at the lunch box in Gu Nanyan's hand, Ye Chu smiled again and said: 'You're here to bring Beicheng his lunch, aren't you!' Saying this, she turned to look at Lu Beicheng: 'Beicheng, since Nanyan has brought you lunch, let's not go out to eat. It's rare for Nanyan to come to the company, you should spend some good time with her.' Ye Chu's understanding, as if she were Lu Beicheng's wife, as if she were the lady boss of Lu's Corporation, even Lu Beicheng eating the lunch brought by Gu Nanyan was an opportunity she gave up. Looking at Ye Chu, Gu Nanyan said nonchalantly: 'Ye Chu, either let Lu Beicheng defy his father and divorce you, or slap me in the face with the solid evidence of you two.' 'Always talking in a sarcastic tone, who are you disgusting?' If she were capable, Gu Nanyan would still respect her a bit. But seeing Ye Chu in this neither here nor there state, Gu Nanyan looked down on her. Seeing Gu Nanyan's disdain, Ye Chu explained with embarrassment: 'Nanyan, it's not what you think between me and Beicheng, we are just discussing work.' After explaining, her eyes dimmed a bit and she said: 'Then you two chat slowly, I'll go out first.' The door was closed, Gu Nanyan walked to the desk, placed the lunch box on the table not too lightly, pulled out the chair opposite Lu Beicheng, and sat down as if nothing had happened: 'Mom asked me to bring you lunch.' Slamming the documents in her hand onto the table, Lu Beicheng asked coldly: 'Gu Nanyan, can you have your own opinion?'

Lu Beicheng's action of throwing the documents, Gu Nanyan stared at him without speaking. His attitude just now towards Ye Chu was not like this. Indeed, no matter what the disliked person does or says, it's all wrong, even bringing them food, even living, even breathing the air is wrong. After staring at Lu Beicheng for a long time, Gu Nanyan leaned back in her chair and said indifferently, 'In matters between you and me, I have no own opinion, your parents' words are like imperial edicts, I can't defy them.' Not only can she not defy the words of Lu Beicheng's parents, Gu Nanyan is even more afraid that her mother will cry and complain about how difficult it was to raise her, asking her to be more obedient, to be better behaved. Speaking of which, Lu Tianyang has been good to her. When they got married, he set a strict rule for Lu Beicheng that he could not mention divorce, could not treat her wrong, and had to do his best to maintain the marriage, otherwise he would be kicked out of the Lu family without a penny, with all the property and business going to her. If the two really couldn't get along, then they would have to "Let's see how things go after three years of grinding it out together.​​ ​Now, there's only one year left.​​

Seeing Lu Beicheng ignore her after being roasted, Gu Nanyan got up, walked behind the desk, picked up a bowl and chopsticks, and mimicked Ye Chujiao's coquettish tone: "Beicheng, humans are iron, food is steel—skip a meal and you'll feel the pang. Just eat a little, okay?"

Lu Beicheng looked up at her. Gu Nanyan blinked at him and held a piece of pork rib to his lips.

Her sudden coyness caught him off guard. Like a puppet on strings, he opened his mouth.

But then—smack!—Gu Nanyan slammed the lunchbox onto the table. "Damn it, he really only falls for Ye Chujiao's act."

try to get along for three years before deciding anything. Now, there's only one year left. Seeing Lu Beicheng being unresponsive to her, Gu Nanyan got up and walked behind the office desk, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and said coquettishly like Ye Chu, 'Beicheng, people are iron and rice is steel, one meal without eating will make you hungry, just have a little bit!' Lu Beicheng looked up at her, Gu Nanyan winked at him, and put a piece of rib to his mouth. As soon as Gu Nanyan coquettish, Lu Beicheng was a little stunned. Like a ghost, he opened his mouth. But Gu Nanyan slammed the lunch box on the table: 'Damn it, you really only fall for that Ye's trick.'

Then, he threw the chopsticks down heavily and said irritably, 'Eat or not, who the hell do you think is going to indulge you.' Therefore, after leaving Lu Beicheng's office, Gu Nanyan specifically instructed his secretary that food had been sent from home and there was no need to prepare any. However, at around nine o'clock in the evening, she was awakened by a call from Qin Haiyun. She said that Lu Beicheng had been hospitalized with diarrhea and dehydration. Gu Nanyan's heart skipped a beat, and she got up, changed her clothes, and went to the hospital. When she arrived at the ward, Qin Haiyun said she was tired, so Gu Nanyan let her go back first. After seeing Qin Haiyun off and returning to the ward, Lu Beicheng looked up at her and said, 'Gu Nanyan, you've grown some balls, daring to drug me?' Gu Nanyan approached him and tucked in his blanket, 'Don't be so unfeeling, the couple put aphrodisiacs in it, not laxatives.' 'Don't admit it?' Saying this, Lu Beicheng threw his phone at Gu Nanyan, the screen showing the surveillance video of her entering the pharmacy. Then, he threw a prescription record at her face. Caught with evidence, Gu Nanyan looked at him and fell silent. As their eyes met, Lu Beicheng thought she would explain, but Gu Nanyan suddenly said, 'Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back.' 'Gu Nanyan,' Lu Beicheng's face darkened, and he picked up a pillow from the side and threw it at her. Catching the pillow that was thrown at her, Gu Nanyan calmly and reasonably said, 'You're out there living the high life every day, and I'm forced to the brink of death. It's not too much for me to drug you a bit for some psychological balance.'

Upon hearing this, Lu Beicheng raised his hand to grab her wrist, pulling her to him, and asked in a deep, rich voice, 'Gu Nanyan, are you jealous?' Gu Nanyan was first taken aback by Lu Beicheng's question, then burst into laughter with a snort: 'Don't worry, I wouldn't be jealous of you even if I were eating shit.' Her hearty laughter was met with Lu Beicheng suddenly pulling her closer with force. Bang! Her forehead collided with Lu Beicheng's, and the tips of their noses bumped, causing Gu Nanyan to gasp in pain. With her brows tightly knitted, she had yet to react when Lu Beicheng's warm lips suddenly and unexpectedly covered hers.
