Chapter 40: Chapter 40 You Really Are Capable

After she finished speaking, she pushed the plate of food she had cooked toward him. "Why don’t you try the dish I cooked again?"

Fu Chenlie glanced at her, his expression one of reluctant compliance, and tasted the dish.

"How does it taste?" Wen Ran asked him.

The moment he looked up, his expression suddenly turned cold, and even his tone of voice changed drastically from before, "Why do you talk so much? Haven’t you heard the saying ’do not talk while eating or sleeping’?"

Wen Ran was utterly confused.

Did he really have to be so moody?!

Everything was fine just a moment ago.

Annoyed, she looked down and continued eating her meal, ignoring him.

After dinner, Wen Ran cleaned up the dining table.

When she returned to the living room, she saw Fu Chenlie still sitting on the couch, not reading a magazine, not looking at his phone, just sitting there.

Although she was a bit curious as to why he was just sitting there and not going to sleep, the memory of his sudden mood change during dinner made her dismiss the idea of initiating a conversation with him.

She pretended not to notice him and headed straight for the stairs to go to her bedroom to sleep.

Entering her room signified the end of her day with Fu Chenlie.

It also meant that out of her marriage’s 365-day term, only 363 days remained. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt optimistic about the future.

However—

She had just stepped onto the first stair when Fu Chenlie’s voice came from behind her. "Where do you plan to practice driving with Lu Jinglun tomorrow?"

There were only the two of them in the house,

So Wen Ran naturally knew he was asking her. She turned to look at the couch. "I haven’t decided yet. I’ll go wherever Mr. Lu says we should go tomorrow. After all, he’s the one teaching me, so I’ll follow his lead."

As Fu Chenlie listened to her say she would do whatever Lu Jinglun said, he felt especially irritated. "If he’s nothing to you, why do you have to listen to him?"

"I am learning. It’s not like I should call the shots, right?"

"Grandma is an elder, and it’s a form of respect when an elder arranges something for a younger person. You tell him where to teach you, and he should comply. Even if just for Grandma’s sake, Lu Jinglun should obediently listen."

Wen Ran was speechless.

You really have some nerve.

But she couldn’t do that.

She disliked interacting with others from a superior position. If you’re the one troubling someone else, how can you still be picky?!

Wherever Lu Jinglun was willing to go, she would cooperate.

Wen Ran didn’t intend to continue discussing this with Fu Chenlie. She said, "I’m heading upstairs to rest. Is there anything else you need?"

He replied displeasedly, "Did you not hear what I just said?"

"I heard it, but as for where to practice driving, let’s talk about it when I see Mr. Lu tomorrow."

The man grunted in response.

She thought the conversation was over and prepared to turn and head upstairs.

But for some unknown reason, Fu Chenlie suddenly asked again, "What do you think of Lu Jinglun?"

Wen Ran answered honestly, "He seems really nice, very handsome too—probably has a lot of girls liking him. Moreover, Mr. Lu has an outgoing personality and is really good at giving compliments. Today, Grandma was very happy with his flattery. People with sweet mouths are liked wherever they go."

Listening to her praise him without restraint, Fu Chenlie’s expression darkened, his tone becoming heavier, "Do you really think a man who’s superficial and fickle is that good?"

"Isn’t he your friend?" Wen Ran was a bit surprised and suspiciously said, "Is it appropriate for you to speak ill of your friend behind his back?"

He replied with a calm expression and confidently dropped four words, "Objective assessment."

She seemed to suddenly understand something and laughed, "I think Mr. Lu is a very nice person. At least he’s kind and humorous, which is certainly better than those who always act like the whole world owes them money."
