I Became the Male Lead’s Stepmother After Transmigrating

Xiang Xiaoyuan recalled that the novel did mention Lu Wanggui’s senior. The senior had provided a lot of help to Lu Wanggui in the early stage of his career. After Lu Wanggui succeeded in his business, he didn’t forget the senior, the two of them had a good working relationship.

“So you really have a salary?” Although Xiang Xiaoyuan understood, she was still surprised.

Lu Wanggui’s original intention was to settle the matter regarding the watch and then take her out for supper. However, for some reason, when he saw her saying that she was poor, he could not help but give her his pay slip despite knowing that she’s not actually poor.

Their relationship should not be like this. However, ever since he came back from his business trip and she asked the butler to put the suitcase in the master bedroom, things started to go out of hand.

Lu Wanggui knew very well that some things were getting out of control. She drank too much last night and threw a tantrum. Not only was he not upset, he even waited for her to lie down and lost sleep that night. He seemed to be unable to control certain things.

However, Lu Wanggui did not feel flustered or uneasy because he knew clearly he was doing and what he wanted.

“Yes.”

Lu Wanggui looked at her and said, “But I’m not too sure about the exact amount. You can check it out when you have time.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was moved. Her remaining rationality told her that she should not accept it. She hesitated, “I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to take your pay slip.”

Lu Wanggui lowered his eyes. “No.”

Actually, Xiang Xiaoyuan was not too moved by Lu Wanggui handing over his pay slip. After all, her previous partners had all wanted to hand over their pay slips to her, but Xiang Xiaoyuan didn’t accept them.

It wasn’t that she didn’t like it, but she didn’t want to have any conflicts over money after the break-up. It was very troublesome. After all, when one was in a relationship, there was a halo around the other person. One couldn’t tell if their character was good or bad. Only after the break-up could one tell if they were a human or a dog. Fortunately, her previous partners were not bad. After they broke up, they did not do anything bad.

Thinking about it, it made sense since she had good taste. The men she liked were all not bad.

Why shouldn’t she accept Lu Wanggui’s pay slip? They were not dating. She was his wife.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had thought it through. When she was free in two days, she would go and see how much money was inside. So, she asked again, “Then, how much of the funds can I use?”

“All of it.” Lu Wanggui had always been generous. “Tell me when you’ve finished spending it.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”

For the first time, she felt like the wife of a wealthy family.

She put away the bank card with a smile. At that moment, Lu Wanggui said, “Do you want to go out and eat something? Xiao Bei is waiting for us downstairs.”

Not only did she solve the economic crisis, she also got a bank card for free. Xiang Xiaoyuan was in a very happy mood. “What do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine. It’s up to you.”

“Okay, then I’ll freshen up.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan got up from the bed and went to the cloakroom to change. By the time Lu Wanggui and Xiang Xiaoyuan finished freshening up and went downstairs, Lu Bei had already been waiting in the living room for quite a while.

Seeing Xiang Xiaoyuan follow behind Lu Wanggui with a radiant face and not looking sick at all, Lu Bei secretly let out a sigh of relief.

It was a unique experience for Lu Bei to go out for supper with his parents at night. Lu Wanggui sat in the driver’s seat while Lu Bei obediently sat in the backseat. Xiang Xiaoyuan habitually opened the front passenger door.

As the car slowly drove out of the villa, Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly said, “Stop at the convenience store. I’ll go and take a look.”

She had been very busy all day and had only looked at the sales statement sent by Xu Xiyao online.

Lu Wanggui parked the car at the entrance of the convenience store. Xiang Xiaoyuan unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car and quickly walked into the store.

She had told Xu Xiyao a long time ago that there were hardly any customers in the area at night. He could close the store early and go home to rest, but Xu Xiyao was serious and responsible, and he was also honest. He waited for the normal business hours to end before closing the store in the past two days. This made Xiang Xiaoyuan sigh again about how lucky she was to be able to recruit such a serious and responsible employee.

Xu Xiyao was reading at the cash register. When he heard the “welcome” sound at the door, he looked up and saw Xiang Xiaoyuan. He habitually handed the printed cash register list to her.

Xiang Xiaoyuan took the list and looked at his face. She smiled and said, “Aren’t you sleep-deprived?”

Xu Xiyao was stunned. He did not expect her to ask such a question. He was used to wearing his glasses when he was reading. He pushed his glasses down and said with his usual clear voice, “No.”
