Chapter 540: 540 Xu Boyan: Shall we take wedding photos? _1
"He transferred all his assets to you?"
Zhu Yawen asked in surprise, looking at Lu Qingyi in disbelief.
It was hard for her to believe that a man who was willing to relinquish all of his assets would treat his wife poorly.
"If I need your help, would you genuinely help me?"
Zhu Yawen took a deep breath and stared intently at Lu Qingyi.
She had decided to give Lu Qingyi a chance, and no matter what, her life couldn’t possibly get any worse from where it stood.
She ran her fingers over the numerous scars on her arm, constant reminders of the risk of domestic abuse she faced.
"Meet me at Hardrick’s office tomorrow."
Lu Qingyi nodded and then left.
Lu Qingyi was the renowned Professor Lu at Hardrick’s office. Zhu Yawen was aware of this.
Zhu Yawen stared at Lu Qingyi’s retreating figure until she was out of sight, then ordered another cup of black coffee.
The coffee was very bitter, but Zhu Yawen couldn’t taste it. The bitterness in her heart far surpassed that of the beverage.
In public, Tang Zhenqing treated her well, making her an object of envy. But behind closed doors, he paid her no attention, was abusive, and even neglected their child, never acknowledging her as the child’s mother.
Life seemed hopeless, and she no longer understood her purpose in it.

With bags of groceries now acquired, Lu Qingyi took a taxi straight home.
When Xu Boyan returned home, he was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of food.
Rich, comforting, the scent of home.
He smiled slightly, a small grin of happiness dancing on his lips. Though he preferred not to have Lu Qingyi cook, he must admit that having her prepare his meals felt like a blessing.
"You’re back. I’ve made dinner."
Lu Qingyi announced as she served the dishes, smiling at Xu Boyan.
She certainly gave off a caring and nurturing vibe.
"Didn’t I tell you that I would do the cooking? You don’t need to step into the kitchen, alright?"
Xu Boyan approached, wrapping his arms around Lu Qingyi’s waist. His face was close to hers, his voice gentle and doting.
In his loving tone was a hint of mild reproach.
His sweetheart should lead a carefree life — everything should be handed to her.
He yearned to spoil Lu Qingyi, treating her like a princess.
"You work so hard every day. I can handle the cooking."
Lu Qingyi said softly.
Xu Boyan wasn’t idle; he was always busy with a never-ending list of tasks, yet he found time to cook her meals. It must be exhausting.
Xu Boyan didn’t seem to mind, but she worried for him.
Xu Boyan: "You’re the one who’s been working hard."
His sweetheart was the one who had it tough, not him. All he had to do was earn money and take care of the household; it wasn’t that hard.
His love, on the other hand, was a teacher, which involved a lot of talking during classes. It could lead to a dry mouth, and it was tiring.
"Let’s wash our hands and eat."
Lu Qingyi patted Xu Boyan’s hand and slowly said.
"Do you know Tang Zhenqing?"
In the middle of their meal, Lu Qingyi suddenly asked this question, her tone as casual as can be.
Zhu Yawen’s husband, Tang Zhenqing, was a significant figure from the Tang family’s side-branch.
"Hmm, I don’t really know him personally."
Xu Boyan didn’t ask Lu Qingyi why she brought up this character.
"Tang Yaxin’s cousin."
Xu Boyan added this.
Although from the same Tang family, Xu Boyan and Tang Zhenqing weren’t close.
"Hmm, I was thinking of having him divorce; that shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Lu Qingyi cocked her head to look at Xu Boyan, a faint smile on her lips.
The tone of her words was nonchalant, as if she was saying, "I don’t feel like eating today.").
Even without Xu Boyan’s help, she could make it happen, though it might be a bit troublesome.
Things she voiced weren’t merely words; she would follow through with actions, and she always followed through.
Xu Boyan: "??? "
Three question marks floated above Xu Boyan’s head as he looked at Lu Qingyi in confusion, not quite understanding her intentions.
Tang Zhenqing was indeed married, and his child was already five or six years old. He wondered if Tang Zhenqing’s marital affairs had somehow upset his beloved.
"Um, I don’t have ulterior motives. I just want him to willingly proceed with the divorce."
Lu Qingyi replied calmly, her voice softer than ever.
"Did he offend you?"
Xu Boyan chuckled and lightly rubbed Lu Qingyi’s head, his voice filled with affection.
Lu Qingyi: "Well, not exactly."
They hadn’t seen each other in such a long time; where would any conflict come from?
She only wanted to assist Zhu Yawen.
Despite Zhu Yawen’s dislike towards her, Zhu had helped her before. Zhu had aggressively handed over her study materials and brought her lunch and dinner when she was engrossed in her studies.
Though Zhu acted as if she was being forced to do those things, she was actually kind-hearted.
Xu Boyan looked at Lu Qingyi: "Hmm?"
Lu Qingyi replied: "Just helping a university classmate."
"My sweetheart still remembers her university classmates."
Xu Boyan chuckled, his tone teasing.
His sweetheart was amazing, recalling her university friends even though she was a child prodigy who attended university at a very young age.
"Xu Boyan, are you itching for a beating?"
Lu Qingyi raised her hand, feigning a punch at Xu Boyan, her tone a bit sassy.
If an outsider had been present, they might have doubted if this was the real Lu Qingyi, with her unexpectedly firm yet cute demeanor.
"My sweetheart is so adorable."
Mock disbelief laced Xu Boyan’s voice, the joy clearly audible.
This was a rare sight indeed. Xu was truly fortunate to witness it in this lifetime.
"Let’s get back to the point."
Lu Qingyi tapped the table authoritatively and said. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
If Xu Boyan could handle it, all the better. If not, she’ll figure out a workaround.
Lu Qingyi was starting to realize how much she had come to rely on Xu Boyan. She got lazier as the days went by, often delegating tasks she used to handle herself. It was becoming second nature for her to sit back and reap the results reaped by others.
"Hmm, I will talk to Gaozhuo, and I will handle this."
Xu Boyan said softly while stroking Lu Qingyi’s head.
Whenever she asked him to do something, he was more than eager. There was no way he would back out.
"Okay," Lu Qingyi nodded.
"Sweetie, should we go for our wedding photoshoot tomorrow?"
Xu Boyan suddenly said, his eyes brimming with expectation as he looked affectionately at Lu Qingyi.
Lu Qingyi looked at Xu Boyan in astonishment and blinked, half wondering if she had misheard.
A wedding photoshoot?
She definitely didn’t mishear, right?
It genuinely caught her off-guard.
"Silly, you heard correctly. I’ve got the wedding dress sorted out. Let’s go for our photoshoot tomorrow, alright?"
Xu Boyan gently flicked Lu Qingyi’s forehead, his voice as sweet and doting as ever.
