The last and most important point was that Lu Wanggui had a son! This meant that he did not require her to produce a child.
How good was that? Xiang Xiaoyuan did not like children, and at the same time, she didn't want to be pregnant. She had personally seen her senior, who had been doing well in the company, lose her career after getting pregnant, and walk around with the child every day. All she talked about was children, milk powder, and even complained about her husband.
This was too scary.
A capable woman became a housewife who revolved around her family without any space for herself. At the thought that she might become like this in the future, Xiang Xiaoyuan's skin went numb. She could not accept that her future life would depend on a babbling baby.
Now that she was a wife and her husband had a son, he would not ask for a child. Xiang Xiaoyuan was extremely satisfied with this.
"Sure, I just finished my work. I'll ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes that you like," she said with a smile.
Lu Wanggui could not help but smile. The rays of sunlight from outside the window refracted through the car window, casting a shadow on his well-defined face. In the shadows, he was as handsome as a god.
...
Lu Wanggui rarely returned home for dinner. It was rare for him to return even once a month.
When Butler Liu found out that he was eating at home today, he urgently ordered the kitchen to add a few more dishes that Lu Wanggui liked. At dinner time, when Xiang Xiaoyuan changed into a new set of clothes and went downstairs, she saw a dazzling array of dishes on the dining table. She was so shocked that her mouth was wide open.
These dishes... wasn't it too much? It seemed like a feast for new year's eve?
In the dining room, after Butler Liu and Nanny Zhang had arranged everything, they left with the servants on their own accord, leaving the space for the family of three, who rarely gathered together.
At the long solid wooden dining table, Lu Wanggui sat at the main seat, while Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei each took a side.
If it was only Lu Wanggui, Xiang Xiaoyuan would have taken the initiative to start a conversation on account of her good mood. Now that she was facing the father and son, she just wanted to shut up and eat.
It was not that she didn't like Lu Bei, but she knew that there was something wrong as soon as father and son sat down. The son was silently resisting the father, and the father's attitude... was somewhat intriguing. It seemed like he did not care, but if he really did not care, why did he have to come back early for a meal?
However, their relationship, whether it was good or bad, had nothing to do with Xiang Xiaoyuan. She always remembered her identity as a stepmother. She remembered that she was only an outsider and did not interfere in the affairs of the father and son.
With her identity, there would always be people commenting regardless of what she did.

Xiang Xiaoyuan's was focused on 'fighting' with the braised prawns. Her slender fingertips were covered in sauce, and just as she was about to get up and wash her hands, she heard Lu Wanggui's deep and magnetic voice, "I heard that you told Assistant Gao that you wanted to look for a job?"
"Yes."
Xiang Xiaoyuan was extremely surprised. She raised her head to look at them. She was sure that she did not hear wrongly. Lu Bei really wanted to look for a job!
What was going on? Why did he suddenly want to look for a job? Wasn't he still in school and was not an adult yet?
Lu Wanggui nodded very calmly. "Even if it's transporting bricks at the construction site?"
Lu Bei said without hesitation, "Sure!"
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
Transporting bricks? What the hell?
"Assistant Gao should have told you that Yulong Real Estate is a real estate company under my name. It's located in a remote location still under development. It's not a large-scale company. The manager in charge has yet to report to the head office, so he hasn't seen me before." He paused and added, "So it's impossible for him to know you. If you go, you'll only be a worker at the construction site. No one will go easy on you."
Lu Bei was clearly determined. Even though Lu Wanggui had made it sound very difficult, he didn't back down. He answered with certainty, "I don't need anyone to go easy on me. I can do it!"
In short, he was definitely going to be a brick-moving worker!
Lu Wanggui did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he picked up a piece of lettuce and put it into his mouth to taste it slowly. When Lu Bei was about to lose his cool and asked him if he was allowed to do it, he finally put down his chopsticks and explained calmly, "Have you thought it through? Moving bricks is hard labour. It's very hard work and the salary is not high. The money you earn in a month is not enough for you and your friends to go out for a meal."
"So what?!" Lu bei hated Lu Wanggui's tone the most. "Do you think I can't endure hardship?"
Lu Bei had been looking for a job outside during this period of time, but he was still a minor, so many bosses did not want him. After being rejected a few times, he finally called Assistant Gao.
"No, I just don't understand your behavior." Lu Wanggui looked at him. "If you are short of money, you can ask me for it. If you want to accumulate work experience, there will be plenty of opportunities for you when you go to university."
"No, I've thought about it. The law stipulates that parents have the obligation to raise their children until they are 18 years old. After that, I won't spend a single cent of your money." Lu Bei pursed his lips, his expression was very serious. "I'll start working now. In a year's time, I'll settle my tuition and living expenses."
