Love After Marriage, He Got A Free Wife

248 Overbearing CEO

When they reached home, Liu Siyu held Fang Xiaonuan’s hand and led her back to her room. She knelt on the floor and took out a bag from under the bed. It was filled with her collection of novels.

Fang Xiaonuan, however, pulled out a book called “The Hungry Empire” from the bookcase beside her. “I want to borrow this book.”

“What?” Liu Siyu was stunned. “You don’t want to read a novel about an overbearing CEO?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Isn’t my husband an overbearing CEO? I’ll just look at him. Why do I need to read novels?”

Liu Siyu glanced at the book Fang Xiaonuan was holding and felt that something was amiss. She stuffed the novels back under the bed, walked up to Fang Xiaonuan, and took the book. “Why do you want to read this book?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “My husband asked me to learn more about history. I heard that this book talks about the history of the Sun Empire through delicious food. It sounds interesting, so I’m checking it out.”

She sounded so sincere that she almost believed it herself.

Liu Siyu said, “If you said that you wanted to read this book, I would have brought it to school tomorrow. You wouldn’t have to come here to get it!”

Fang Xiaonuan replied, “Coming over to get it is a form of respect for this book.”

“I think there’s something wrong with your brain,” Liu Siyu said.

“Hmph, I’ll let you off today on account of how badly your brother has scolded you recently,” Fang Xiaonuan replied.

The two friends sat on the bed and began to chat.

“Xiaoyu, why don’t you have any photos of your childhood in your room?” Fang Xiaonuan purposefully.

“The photos of me from when I was younger don’t look very good. So, I only have photos from my older years,” Liu Siyu replied.

“As your best friend and practically sister, how come I don’t know what you looked like as a child? Hurry up and show me your childhood photos.” This was Fang Xiaonuan’s true motive. She wanted to see Liu Siyu’s childhood photos. This was the only way to make her husband give up the idea that Liu Siyu was Ji Xiaoyu.

“Alright, give me a moment. I’ll go ask my brother where he put the photo album.” Liu Siyu left the room after she finished speaking. She looked around and finally saw Liu Siyan, who was downstairs cooking.

“Brother, where’s our photo album? Xiaonuan and I want to see the photos.”

“Why do you want to see the photos?”

“I just want to look for ugly photos of my childhood. Tell me where they are and I’ll go get them myself,” Liu Siyu said.

“It’s in our mother’s study room,” Liu Siyan said. “Go and look for it.”

“Alright,” Liu Siyu replied. She jogged to her mother’s study.

As soon as she left, Liu Siyan turned off the stove. He went upstairs and saw that his sister’s door was closed. He narrowed his eyes, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

After a while, Liu Siyu returned to her room.

“Xiaonuan, you can take a look.” After she finished speaking, she opened the photo album.

Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu sat together and flipped through the childhood pictures.

“This was when I was just born. My mom was so tired that she almost fainted, but she was still kissing me.”

In the photo, a woman who was sweating profusely was kissing a baby.

“This is a photo of me when I was one month old, and this is a photo of me when I was one hundred days old,” Liu Siyu explained.

“Xiaoyu, do you have any more photos of you when you were older?” Fang Xiaonuan suddenly asked.

“What’s the hurry? Don’t you want to see my ugly photos? You should view them chronologically!” Liu Siyu said.

Fang Xiaonuan had nothing to say. She anxiously wanted to flip through the pages.

“This is a picture of me when I was three years old. The one holding me is my brother,” Liu Siyu continued. It was a picture of Liu Siyan when she was in school. It was a parent-teacher meeting that day, and her parents had carried her to the meeting. Before leaving the school, Liu Siyan posed for a picture with his sister in his arms.

Liu Siyu told Fang Xiaonuan the story behind every photo.

“This is when I was almost four years old. My parents took my brother and me on a trip”

“Where’s a photo of when you were five?”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Then, Liu Siyu’s bedroom door was pushed open. Liu Siyan shouted at the two of them, “Xiaoyu, Xiaonuan, come out and eat.”

Liu Siyu turned to look at her brother. “Brother,” she said. “Why did you barge in without knocking?”

Liu Siyan said, “Cut the cr*p and eat quickly. I have to go to the police station later and won’t be home tonight. Auntie will be here soon. She’ll accompany you tonight.”

“Brother Liu, I won’t be eating here,” Fang Xiaonuan said. “My husband will be coming over to pick me up in a while. We’re going to visit my parents.”

Then, she pulled Liu Siyu’s attention back to the photos.

Just as Liu Siyu was about to turn the page, Liu Siyan closed the photo album. He frowned, clearly unhappy. “Look at it after dinner or don’t look at it at all.”
