Chapter 1

It has been more than half a year since they got married.

This time, it was the first time Lu Chao saw the young girl take the initiative to come downstairs while he was there.

The young girl's name is Yu Qiaoqiao, and her current identity is Lu Chao's wife.

Although this is the case, there isn't even a WeChat friend between Lu Chao and Yu Qiaoqiao.

In the past, Yu Qiaoqiao would leave notes on the table downstairs or in other places on the first floor, using this method to maintain a subtle connection with Lu Chao.

Lu Chao and Yu Qiaoqiao have different daily routines.

Lu Chao goes to work during the day, and Yu Qiaoqiao starts sleeping.

When Lu Chao goes to sleep, Yu Qiaoqiao gets up to work.

During the more than half a year of marriage, Lu Chao has not completely failed to understand his marriage partner.

The other party seems to be a web novel god, capable of selling copyrights and earning substantial income. Lu Chao admits that economically, he probably can't match Yu Qiaoqiao.

However, Lu Chao himself has no intention of relying on his wife for a living, as this would be useless for him.

Although they are married, for so long, they have been living their own lives.

Yu Qiaoqiao's room is on the second floor, and Lu Chao's room is on the first floor.

Their territories do not infringe upon each other, and they do not disturb each other.

Mortgage and utilities are split equally.

As for the things that should be done after marriage, they are even more nonexistent.

Lu Chao feels that this is not a marriage partner but a roommate in a shared apartment.

However, there is nothing to complain about, as this was agreed upon by both of them before the marriage.

Their marriage was arranged by their families.

Lu Chao and Yu Qiaoqiao both got married to deal with their parents' pressure to get married.

The down payment for the house was contributed by both families, buying this small villa for Lu Chao and Yu Qiaoqiao.

The mortgage after the down payment is naturally borne by the couple themselves.

Lu Chao gave 200,000 yuan as the dowry, and Yu Qiaoqiao returned 200,000 yuan as the dowry.

In total, it is 400,000 yuan.

According to Yu Qiaoqiao's idea, this money is stored on a card.

This card is kept by Lu Chao.

Yu Qiaoqiao said that if there are any large expenses in the future, they can be taken from this card, and she just needs to be informed. As long as it is not too unreasonable, Yu Qiaoqiao will agree.

This unreasonable thing refers to Lu Chao using this money to support a mistress or other actions that violate the marriage.

Although they are just a formal marriage,

Yu Qiaoqiao still requires Lu Chao to be loyal to their marriage.

Or rather, this is not a requirement but the most basic thing that should be done.

If Lu Chao falls in love with someone else in the marriage, Yu Qiaoqiao's response is that it is fine, as long as Lu Chao proposes a divorce, she will agree.

In short, Yu Qiaoqiao has given Lu Chao unlimited tolerance for the joint account of the couple.

He can use this money to buy a car, a house, or start a business, as long as it does not violate the marriage.

Although Yu Qiaoqiao said this, Lu Chao did not respond. Lu Chao quietly put the card away and did not use it.

After all, this money belongs to both of them, not just him.

And he is not so poor that he needs to use this money.

Yu Qiaoqiao is dressed very beautifully today. She is wearing orange lipstick and eye shadow, and a short skirt in the summer.

This is a look that Lu Chao has never seen before.

Although Lu Chao has not seen Yu Qiaoqiao many times in total.

Lu Chao: "…"

Lu Chao once entered Yu Qiaoqiao's room when she asked him to fix a light bulb.

The room is very clean and tidy, but the color scheme is dark.

Unlike the pink bed sheets and pillowcases of ordinary girls.

Next to Yu Qiaoqiao's bedroom, there is a bookshelf against the wall, filled with foreign classics like "Resurrection."

This is a very profound girl.

When Lu Chao saw this, he evaluated Yu Qiaoqiao in this way.

And profound girls are not easy to approach. Lu Chao admits that he does not have enough knowledge to talk about the sky and the earth with her.

Perhaps because Lu Chao stared at her for a long time, Yu Qiaoqiao felt a bit uncomfortable.

She looked down at herself, turned around once, and then looked up at Lu Chao and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

She rarely goes out and rarely puts on makeup.

Yu Qiaoqiao was a bit afraid that she might have missed a spot with her makeup.

The girl's voice is very soft.

Gentle and warm.

This is normal, after all, Lu Chao and she have been living together for more than half a year, and they get along quite well.

There is no major conflict between him and Yu Qiaoqiao.

If Yu Qiaoqiao has something to say to him, she mostly writes it on paper.

For example, a sticky note is posted at the light switch, with a neat line of writing, "Remember to turn off the light."

Every time Lu Chao sees it, he takes the paper and writes another line, "Sorry, I will be more careful next time."

"…"

If she were really a roommate, she would be a very good roommate.

Lu Chao evaluated her in his heart.

But he doesn't know if the other party thinks the same way.

Does Yu Qiaoqiao think that Lu Chao is a difficult and bad roommate?

"No, you look very beautiful." Lu Chao shook his head and complimented her.

He realized that staring at someone for a long time is impolite.

So Lu Chao shifted his gaze to Yu Qiaoqiao's face and asked symbolically, "Are you going out?"

The精致的妆容一看就是要出门。

Yu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yes, I'm going on a date."

A date...

A married person...

Lu Chao: "…"

Lu Chao turned his head, coughed, and pretended not to care, looking down at his phone.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Yu Qiaoqiao felt a bit annoyed and realized that what she said was not right.

She said it out of habit.

Meeting with her girlfriends was habitually referred to as a date.

Meeting with girlfriends is not a problem, but the problem lies in the word "date."

Even if it is just a formal marriage, the person in front of her is still her nominal husband.

So Yu Qiaoqiao quickly added, "With my girlfriends."

Lu Chao's expression improved, but he didn't know what to say, so he nodded and politely reminded her, "Be careful."

It's getting dark, come back early.

But Lu Chao kept this in his heart and did not say it out loud.

His relationship with Yu Qiaoqiao is not good enough to be carefree.

Not to mention it's getting dark, even if she doesn't come home at night, what can Lu Chao do?

They got married to deal with their parents' pressure to get married, and that's all.

During the half year of marriage, there has been no significant financial entanglement between them.

If there is something irreconcilable, getting a divorce would be easy, and Lu Chao believes that Yu Qiaoqiao would agree to a divorce quickly.

Thinking about this, Lu Chao felt that he shouldn't have given Yu Qiaoqiao a cold look just now.

After all, he has no right to interfere with Yu Qiaoqiao's affairs.

Yu Qiaoqiao saw Lu Chao's expression, thought for a moment, and added, "Female girlfriends."
