Chapter 52 – Is it because you're afraid of getting divorced in the future and not being able to remarry?
The secretary delivered Lu Yudong's meal to the finance department.
This action turned the whispers in the finance department into complete silence. All the women's gazes shifted from curiosity to jealousy. After all, Jiang Ci was once just an ordinary employee like them. What made her so special? Besides being a bit prettier, but these days, how much is beauty really worth?
She had just moved out of the Lu Family a few days ago, and now she was back in favor so quickly.
"I'm full," Jiang Ci said awkwardly, looking up at the secretary. "Please take it back to him."
"Mr. Lu has already eaten. He specifically brought it for you," the secretary replied.
"Thank you," Jiang Ci said, unable to refuse. She planned to eat it after work in the afternoon.
Just as she tidied up her desk, she received a WeChat friend request from something called "Green Grass Styling." Jiang Ci thought it was an advertisement and didn't accept it.
Moments later, her phone rang. It was Lu Yudong.
"Why didn't you accept the WeChat request?" His voice was always calm, with a slight hint of sternness.

Jiang Ci thought she hadn't offended him today, so she assumed his attitude had nothing to do with her.
"What WeChat?"
"Green Grass Styling, they're making a dress for you. Accept it." With that, Lu Yudong hung up.
Jiang Ci found it baffling and didn't know why she needed a dress.
Since Lu Yudong didn't explain, she didn't ask.
She accepted the WeChat request.
The other party fawningly said, "Mrs. Lu, could you send us a full-body photo? We need it to create a custom dress for you. Mr. Lu has already given us your measurements, but for the color and style, we need to tailor it to your unique aura."
Jiang Ci sent the photo.
"Mrs. Lu, it will be ready in three days. We guarantee your satisfaction."
Jiang Ci had a lot of work today, so she didn't think much about the dress.
Around four o'clock, Jiang Ci felt a bit hungry. Normally, she would go home to eat, but Lu Yudong's meal was on her desk, and it would be a waste not to eat it.
Jiang Ci took the meal to the break room, but unfortunately, the microwave was broken again.
She opened the lunchbox and saw that Lu Yudong's meal had a layer of heart-shaped ketchup on it. Probably only Lu Yudong in the whole company received such treatment. Did Yin Xuemo know that Lu Yudong was married? Why would she put a heart on his meal?
The meal wasn't too cold, so Jiang Ci managed to eat it. Moreover, Lu Yudong had thoughtfully removed the egg yolk.
Seeing this, a sweet smile unconsciously spread across Jiang Ci's face.
Feeling happy, Jiang Ci enjoyed the meal to her heart's content.
After work, she got into Lu Yudong's car.
He looked cold.
"Who upset you?" Jiang Ci asked.
"You!"
Jiang Ci felt wronged. She hadn't even seen him today, so how could she have upset him?
She didn't say anything, turning her head to look out the window. The more she talked, the more Lu Yudong might find fault with her.
"I've arranged to have dinner with someone on Saturday. The dress is for that occasion," Lu Yudong suddenly said.
"But... isn't our marriage supposed to be a secret? Is it okay for me to go with you?" Jiang Ci asked, a bit worried.
"The marriage is becoming more known, it's unavoidable. It doesn't matter," Lu Yudong said, steering the wheel with one hand and looking ahead.
Jiang Ci thought to herself: It's easy for you to say. For wealthy people, even a second or fifth marriage is appealing. But if we divorce in the future, how will I get married? Everyone will think I got half of Lu Yudong's fortune, and they'll only be after my money. Then I'll have to pretend to be rich.
Jiang Ci wasn't very happy.
Initially, she was grateful that Lu Yudong had removed the egg yolk for her, but now, he showed no regard for her situation, and she resented him for it.
Jiang Ci's mood today was like a rollercoaster.
All thanks to Lu Yudong.
"Why aren't you happy?" Lu Yudong glanced at her.
"I'm not," Jiang Ci said, her voice tinged with grievance.
"Are you worried that if we divorce, it'll be hard to remarry?" Lu Yudong's tone was slightly mocking. "You're thinking quite far ahead."
Lu Yudong hit the nail on the head, and Jiang Ci couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She leaned back in the car and pretended to nap.
