Chapter 1

The first day was not sweet

Mercedes-Benz Cultural Center, one of the six blue-blood brands in the fashion circle, C brand, rarely moved its show abroad this year and set it here.

Trendy people gathered outside the center, and there were many photographers. Trendy people with different dressing styles were waiting to take a photo in front of the huge C brand logo on the backboard at the door. Even if they did not have a ticket to the show, they had to take a photo with the C brand logo outside the show and post it on Weibo to prove that they were fashion trendsetters.

In the cultural center, the model walked on the catwalk to the beat of the music, and everyone in the guest seats on both sides focused their attention on the clothes she was wearing. From the fabric and style of the clothes to the earring accessories, they are all future fashion trends.

There were many people in the guest seats, from fashion magazine editors to film and television stars to socialites and ladies, and they could all be seen here. The fashion circle has always been about the red and the white, and the seats in the guest seats are arranged according to the status of the invited guests. The more important the guest, the better and the front the seat on the invitation letter will be.

The international supermodel walked by with a standard scissor step. Lu Li sat in the first row, raised her mobile phone, and took a picture of a suit on the model that she thought was pretty good.

After taking the picture, she put down her mobile phone, lifted her hair, and continued to watch the show seriously.

She was watching the show, but it didnt prevent the photographers on the opposite side from watching her.

On Lu Lis left sat an international actress, the global spokesperson for C-Brand, and on her right sat a popular traffic star, the brand ambassador for Greater China for C-Brand. Both of them were outstanding in terms of temperament and appearance in the entertainment industry full of beauties, otherwise they would not have achieved their current status. However, Lu Li sat between the two, but she was not inferior at all.

Not only was she not inferior, she even had a faint aura of overpowering. Her beauty overpowered the traffic star of her age, and her aura overpowered the international actress who was a generation older than her.

The photographer took a photo of the three of them in the same frame, and was quite emotional when he saw the actress and traffic star who were eclipsed in the photo.

Sure enough, no matter how big a star is, he cant stand up to a rich girl who exudes the aura of "Im rich and Im awesome".

The show music was played to the end.

The models lined up to take a bow, and the designer came on stage to wave and thank the audience on both sides. There was applause at the scene, and the C-Brand show officially ended.

After the show, the people present were busy taking photos. Lu Li had no intention of taking photos with others, and she also declined several stars who wanted to take photos with her. She stood up and left. Her assistant Qian Yong was waiting for her outside.

Qian Yong respectfully took the handbag from Lu Li: "Madam."

Lu Li glanced at Qian Yong, who seemed to always have the same expression, and said, "Hmm," and then said, "I sent you the photos on WeChat. I think the ones that are pretty good."

Qian Yong nodded: "Okay, I will send them directly to your cloakroom at that time."

Except for some limited ones, the clothes on the show can basically be sold directly. When the public relations of various celebrities are still trying to borrow a piece of clothing for the artists and big brands, some people like to buy it directly after the show without considering the price after they see it on the show.

The driver drove the car over.

Qian Yong opened the car door for Lu Li, and only sat in the front passenger seat after she got in.

The Rolls-Royce was spacious. Lu Li was leaning back in the chair and playing with her phone. Qian Yong looked at her in the rearview mirror and said, "Madam."

Lu Li kept her eyes on the phone screen without looking up: "Yeah."

Qian Yong: "Mr. Chi will be back tonight. Let me tell you in advance."

Lu Li still stared at the phone: "Oh."

The tone was a little too flat, as if the "Mr. Chi" in the assistants mouth was not her husband who had been on a business trip abroad for three months, but an assistant she saw every day.

After Qian Yong finished his report, he took his eyes off the rearview mirror and stared at the road ahead.

Lu Li finally edited her Weibo and pressed send. Then she put down her phone and waited for more comments.

By the way, what did Qian Yong tell her just now?

Chi Chenyan will be back tonight.

Lu Li thought of her husband who had not returned home for three months and curled her lips downward.

After three months abroad, she would have to spend a few days accompanying him to meet the elders at Chis house when she came back, which meant that her days of eating, drinking, shopping and going out like a widow would come to an end temporarily.

Yesterday, a friend sent her a WeChat message, saying that Chi Chenyan had left her in China for several months, and he was really bold, not even afraid that she would cheat on him.

Lu Li sneered at this. From the moment Chi Chenyan arranged Qian Yong, a grown man, to be her assistant, she knew how much he cared about her. Although Qian Yong was his, he was a man after all. It was not something that ordinary men would do to let a man follow your delicate wife every day.

However, since Qian Yong was assigned to her by Chi Chenyan, she did not need to pay for him, so Lu Li would not use him. After all, he was an assistant under Chi Chenyan, and his work ability was very guaranteed.

Besides, although ordinary men could not do such things, Chi Chenyan was not an ordinary man, and he and her were not an ordinary couple.

This year is the second year of Chi Chenyan and Lu Lis marriage.

Three years ago, a century wedding that shocked the entertainment and financial circles opened the curtain of the marriage between the Lu family and the Chi family.

Lu Li was born in Hong Kong. Her father, Lu Hengrong, is a well-known real estate tycoon in Hong Kong. Her mother was a popular Hong Kong movie star at the time. She left many classic scenes in the history of film. After marrying Lu Hengrong, she retired from the entertainment circle and gave birth to her daughter Lu Li in the same year.

Because of her mother, Lu Li grew up under the pursuit of reporters since she was a child. When she was one year old, she celebrated her birthday and had a birthday party inside. Outside, reporters climbed up the tree and took pictures from the window. When she was three years old and went to kindergarten, reporters took pictures from the tree outside the kindergarten wall. Later, when she was older, her mother simply released photos of picking her up from school. The girl in the photo perfectly inherited her mothers appearance, which amazed everyone.

Lu Lis mother is her fathers third wife, and she has two half-brothers. Lu Li knew from a young age that it was her brothers job to inherit the family business, and she only needed to enjoy everything as a rich lady, and then when she was old enough, she would follow the arrangements of her family and marry a man of equal status, and advance from a rich lady to a rich wife.

There is nothing wrong with this. Those rich ladies who are desperate to marry a rebellious family and fight for true love to the end only appear in idol dramas. Lu Li thinks that it doesnt matter who she marries, its nothing more than living in a different place. There are many rich families in Hong Kong, and there are many young masters of her age. Even if they dont know each other, they have basically heard of each others names. No matter who she marries, her social circle will remain the same and will not change.

As a result, she didnt expect that her father and brother would be so wild. Once she got married, she actually crossed half of the country and married to the economic and cultural center of S City.

This marriage made a sensation in the whole city of Hong Kong. After everyone was shocked, they all began to sigh that the Lu family had both means and ambition.

Due to policy reasons, Hong Kong had always been a separate group. In recent years, more and more Hong Kong companies have had to gradually develop northward, but this is just a general trend. The Lu family is the first to directly marry.

The Lu familys marriage partner is the Chi family, which ranks among the top in Forbes Wealth. Its Shengjing Group includes finance, entertainment, technology and other sectors. Among them, Shengjing Technology has developed rapidly in recent years and has become the core sector of Shengjing Group. It is taken over by Chi Chenyan, the only son of the Chi family.

Chi Chenyan is the object of Lu Lis marriage.

The Chi family kept a low profile, and there were no photos of this young master Chi on social networking sites. The most beautiful daughter went north from then on, and countless people in Hong Kong sighed. Until the media released the wedding photos of the two families in S City, the beauty of the bride was already well known to everyone, and the groom, who was in public for the first time, did not disappoint. In the wedding photos, the two of them were a perfect match. If it werent for the reluctance on both sides faces when they kissed after the oath, it could almost be said that they were a match made in heaven.

…

Luxury cars were lined up in the underground garage, and the Rolls-Royce stopped smoothly.

Qian Yong got out of the car first and opened the door for Lu Li.

Lu Li came to her senses, got out of the car, and got on the elevator.

This is an apartment located in the city center, with a total area of ​​520 square meters, on the 62nd floor, and a top-floor duplex design. The view of the cross-strait financial center and the ten-mile foreign market on the riverside of S City is unobstructed. It was purchased by Lu Hengrong for 1.9 billion three years ago as a dowry for his daughter Lu Li, and also as the wedding house for Lu Li and Chi Chenyan after their wedding.

Lu Li has lived here since she got married. Chi Chenyan also lives here except when he is on business trips or back home.

Qian Yong sent her to the door and said goodbye. Lu Li went to the bedroom on the second floor, threw her bag on the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed, leaned against the headboard, and picked up the idol pillow next to her.

The entire second floor is the master bedroom, but the designer of the house seems to be very insightful about human nature. Considering the current situation of wealthy couples, he designed a double master bedroom, two bedrooms, sharing the shower room and cloakroom in the middle. When the middle door is opened, the two bedrooms are connected. When it is closed, it gives the couple independent and private space.

Lu Li and Chi Chenyan each have a bedroom, and the middle door is usually closed.

Lu Li has always called this the mens dormitory and the womens dormitory in her heart.

Now Lu Li is lying on the bed in the womens dormitory, hugging her idol pillow and browsing Weibo.

Lu Li doesnt have many fans on Weibo. After all, shes not an entertainment star. She only has over 900,000 fans, but theyre all active fans. She just posted a photo of herself watching a show, and the number of likes quickly exceeded 10,000. The comments section is almost full of flattery.

She got married right after graduating from college. After getting married, she had nothing to do and lived a standard life of a wealthy wife. So she registered a social software account out of boredom. It was originally for star chasing, but after being discovered by fans, it became a personal blog. She likes to post outfits and share her daily life on it.

Lu Li scanned the flattering comments and found a different one.

[Isnt Chi Chenyans birthday today? Why is Lu Li still watching the show here? My god, this is too plastic. 】

Lu Li said to the comment:?

She was not puzzled by the plasticity, but the birthday mentioned in the comment.

Is today Chi Chenyans birthday? Why didnt anyone tell her?

When was Chi Chenyans birthday?

Lu Li went to search on Baidu Encyclopedia, and sure enough, today was Chi Chenyans birthday according to the Gregorian calendar.

Its just that the Chi family is more traditional. From Chi Chenyans grandmother to him, they have always celebrated their birthdays according to the lunar calendar, and they dont take the Gregorian calendar birthday that seriously, so not many people around her mentioned it today.

Lu Li felt relieved and returned to Weibo to continue browsing.

The comment just now has been pushed up, and there are many replies below.

[Do the friends above have any misunderstandings about our famous wealthy plastic couple? My husbands birthday is not as important as our Dali watching the show. ]

[As for family marriage, I still remember that the two of them were so far away at the donation ceremony of T University last year, and they looked like "we dont know each other". In thirty photos, none of them looked like a couple, hahahaha]

[Yes, yes, yes! And that wedding photo, my god, this is the first time I have seen such an awkward kiss between the bride and groom]

[Last time, didnt a reporter take a photo of Chi Chenyan accompanying Lu Li back to Hong Kong City to visit relatives? They actually took a private plane each! 】

【One for each person... Rich people are really wasteful...】

【Wow, what a pity that they look so good together. If they had a better relationship, it would be so much better】

【+1, this is the first time Ive seen a serious couple that is so useless that they dont even have CP fans. CP fans are so popular. Lin Daiyu and Voldemort have people who support them, but this real couple cant even get a single bit of sweetness out of them. No one supports them】

……

Lu Li saw this.In the room, he pulled the corner of his mouth.

The Chi family is low-key, and Chi Chenyan rarely appears in public. After she married, she also wanted to keep a low profile, but she couldnt resist the publics curiosity. Since the kissing photo at the wedding that showed mutual dislike and was so awkward, the couples relationship has always been the focus of public attention and gossip.

The only time the couple appeared together in public was at the donation ceremony of T University last year.

T University is Chi Chenyans alma mater. He set up a foundation for his alma mater. Lu Li attended as his wife. The couple had zero interaction and zero communication throughout the whole process. In the last group photo, one stood on the left and the other stood on the right, with a large group of T University leaders in the middle. There were many photos leaked from the donation ceremony, but there was not a single one where Lu Li and Chi Chenyan looked like a couple, and they were a couple who had been married for a year.

Later, Chi Chenyan was interviewed separately, and Lu Li often posted her daily life on social networking sites. Then, the two of them were very tacit and did not mention each other. Chi Chenyan did not know Lu Lis favorite color and favorite fruit in the interview, and Chi Chenyan was nowhere to be seen in Lu Lis daily Weibo.

The two were also photographed several times when they returned to their parents homes privately. They walked one after the other. The photos of them in the same frame were cold as ice to put it in a better way, and to put it more bluntly, they were so disgusted with each other that they were about to overflow from the screen.

Someone on Weibo voted for the sweetest couples and couples. Recently, another blogger voted for the most plastic couples. There were a total of four couples shortlisted. In addition to Lu Li and Chi Chenyan, the other three couples were entertainment industry couples who were notorious for cheating. Then, Lu Li and Chi Chenyan, who were rarely seen in public, unexpectedly won the other three cheating couples with an overwhelming number of votes and were elected as the number one plastic couple of wealthy families.

In the eyes of the public, their relationship is not as good as those who cheated.

At that time, Lu Li was using a small account to cheer for her idol online and collect data. When she heard that she and Chi Chenyan were elected as the number one plastic couple of the rich family, she felt very calm and even felt that it made sense.

At least the cheating team had truly loved each other before cheating, but she and Chi Chenyan had never loved each other. She was convinced that she was elected as a plastic couple.

Lu Li felt that it was actually very good to continue to be a plastic couple. Anyway, she lived a very comfortable life as a rich and wealthy wife who was not widowed but worse than widowed. Her mother tried every means to quit the entertainment and film industry and marry into a rich family. What was it for? It was for this.

It was a pity that Chi Chenyan was only on a business trip for three months and came back today.

Lu Li felt a little annoyed when she thought of this.

Chi Chenyans return was not the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing was that after he came back, she had to accompany him to meet the elders of the Chi family.

Lu Li didnt know what was good about this elder. The whole world knew that she and Chi Chenyan were a plastic couple. How could the elders of the Chi family not know? Couldnt they not let her go?

Maybe this is the face that the rich families want to show off. Lu Li thought, it doesnt matter if the two are fake, they must be together when they should appear together.

She sighed softly, picked up her phone, and returned to the topic post in the comment area just now.

Below are all lamenting that the number one fake couple of the rich family has been married for three years, and they are so fake that they dont even have CP fans even though they are obviously talented and beautiful.

It is unknown to what extent the facts are fake.

For a time, there were many different opinions————

[Apart from the wedding, have they kissed in private? ]

[Attending a donation ceremony is a long way away, so do they have physical contact in normal times? ]

[Do they live together normally? ]

[Do they know how to write each others names? ]

[Do they have each others WeChat and mobile phone numbers? ]

...

There are more and more speculations about fake couples, from whether the two have held hands to whether they have each others WeChat numbers. Lu Li looked at those comments and looked like the emoji package of the old man on the subway looking at his phone.

Until someone finally sighed.

[Fuck! Apart from anything else, have Lu Li and Chi Chenyan ever done anything like that in three years of marriage? ]

Lu Li: “…”
