Chapter 111: It Was Only to Catch Her Attention

After Jiang Sui left the note, she had the server bring the bill over and pay it.

Then she left the dessert shop under Jiang Lai’s gaze.

Jiang Lai stared at the note in his hand, the one with the number written on it.

He felt that everything that had happened today was too dreamlike, too unbelievable.

If not for the fact that the note was still solidly in his hand, and the faint fragrance left behind by that woman lingering there, he would truly have thought it had all been a dream.

She had said she could help him solve his mother’s predicament.

He tightened his grip on the note, his eyes hesitant and heavy.

After leaving the dessert shop, Jiang Sui was preparing to drive home. Just before starting the car, she suddenly received a message from Lu Ye.

["Rogue Man": "Who are you eating dessert with?"]

Jiang Sui hissed softly. How did he know she was eating dessert with someone else?

She opened her social feed and took another look at the photo she had just posted.

Mm, on par with a professional photographer.

But there was only dessert in the picture. How had Lu Ye figured out there was another person beside her?

Meanwhile, Lu Ye, preparing overseas to go onstage for a speech, glanced at his phone before stepping up to the podium.

["Wife": "Mind your own business"]

Lu Ye: ...

Jiang Sui had just started the engine when she saw Lu Ye send another message.

["Rogue Man": "website.com"]

Jiang Sui did not rush to drive. She studied the link, trying to figure out what it meant.

Jiang Sui: "A video site?"

The rogue man did not reply.

Jiang Sui hesitated, wondering whether to click it. In the end, curiosity won out, and she opened the link.

The site was a little unusual, not a common domain. Maybe it was a restricted address open only to a special group of people.

The moment she entered, she saw a live broadcast that looked like the evening news.

And among the crowd, she spotted Lu Ye at a glance, surrounded by bodyguards.

More than a dozen tall, broad-shouldered bodyguards followed behind Lu Ye, escorting him up to the podium as though he were their king.

In a crowd, Lu Ye was like a diamond, dazzlingly bright.

Handsome and striking, refined without losing poise, in a sharply tailored suit with flawless proportions. Even his back view was absurdly good-looking.

From the video, it seemed to be some kind of launch event, with Lu Ye as the centerpiece.

And judging by the way it was set up, this event did not appear to be open to the public.

But since there was a website, that meant it was not entirely confidential; access had been granted to a select group of people.

She did not know exactly what the Lu family did, but from her last visit to the industrial park, it seemed to involve technology-related products.

And those products appeared to be tied to something at a higher level.

Damn...

In the original script, even a background like that could be brought down by a second-generation rich male lead?

What kind of idiotic plot was that?

To make the male lead look impossibly impressive, they really did not care whether anyone else lived or died.

"What does this mean?" Jiang Sui muttered in confusion. "He sends me a link just so I can watch him?"

Not gonna lie, if Lu Ye had not suddenly nudged her attention these past few days, she would have almost forgotten she even had a husband wandering abroad.

The system silently complained: Back when you were obsessed with palace intrigue, you forgot about me just like that too.

Jiang Sui guessed, "Could it be a peacock spreading its tail?"

Otherwise, she could not think of any other reason.

Lu Ye sent her the link just to make her see how handsome he was, right?

Tsk.

Men.

Nothing more than that.

All just to get my attention.

Though that was what Jiang Sui thought, she still ended up staring at the video of Lu Ye for quite a while without realizing it.

What could she do? He was easy on the eyes.

At the moment he sent the link, Lu Ye: Let my wife see how capable I am, and she will lose interest in the man beside her. What is a little dessert-eater worth?
