Chapter 48 -48 The Secret of Sleeping in Separate Rooms is Discovered!
Jiang Man walked into her room, did not turn on the light, and used her phone’s light to hastily grab two sets of clean clothes before leaving.
She figured that Wen Jingya would only stay at Rong Mansion for a few days, and after that, she would have to come back to this room.
So everything in the room should stay exactly as it was, untouched, preserved as it originally was.
After she went upstairs, the pair of eyes in the dark suddenly brightened.
Wen Jingya turned on the flashlight function on her phone and tiptoed to the door of the first guest room, gently twisting it open.
Walking into the room, she didn’t react much when she saw the neatly folded quilt on the single bed.
It was not until she saw a backpack on the desk that she rifled through it, finding headphones, a tablet, and two packs of sanitary pads.
She proceeded to the closet, opened it, and rummaged through it, finding all sorts of women’s short sleeves, shorts, and long pants.
“Hehe! Interesting! So you two sleep in separate rooms, huh!”
Wen Jingya mumbled to herself gleefully and rudely rummaged through the clothes in the closet once more.
These clothes had no trace of femininity, including Jiang Man herself, who also lacked any feminine charm.
Before, she was doubting her life, wondering where she fell short compared to Jiang Man, but now she had figured it out—the truth was that Xingzhou and Jiang Man were simply putting on an act!
Xingzhou would never fancy someone like Jiang Man!
Wen Jingya grinned, her expression ghastly under the phone light, like that of a fierce ghost.
…
The second floor.
Jiang Man, having grabbed her clothes, headed to the bathroom.
Her toiletries had already been brought over by someone during the day.
Unlike other girls who took meticulous showers, she was done in just over ten minutes.
Wrapping her hair, wearing a robe, “Mr. Lu, you can shower now.”
“You should dry your hair first,” Lu Xingzhou, who was reading on the sofa, glanced at Jiang Man.
Jiang Man leaned back on the bed, “I’ll wrap it for a while, I will blow-dry it when it’s half-dry.”
“Fine,” Lu Xingzhou said nothing more, put down his book, and walked towards the bathroom.
When he entered the bathroom, and saw a bra and a pair of women’s panties draped over the towel bar, he came to an abrupt halt.
“Jiang…” He wanted to call out to Jiang Man.
But then he swallowed his words back.
During the rest of his grooming routine, he kept glancing, intentionally or not, at those two items.
For some reason, he saw them in the mirror; with a turn of his head, they entered his peripheral vision, unavoidable no matter where he looked.
He considered himself a gentleman, but at that moment, he felt more like a voyeur, unable to stop staring at a girl’s intimate belongings.
“Crazy!” Lu Xingzhou took a cold shower.
When he came out of the bathroom, his face was flushed.
He stealthily glanced at the girl playing with her phone on the bed and casually mentioned, “It’s damp in the bathroom, hang your underwear outside.”
Jiang Man glanced at the balcony, which was made to look like a garden, thinking that hanging underwear and panties there would be a mood killer.
Besides…
“There’s no clothesline on the balcony,” she blurted out innocently.
Lu Xingzhou frowned, “I’ll have the butler set up a clothesline tomorrow.”
“OK,” Jiang Man gestured with her hand and said no more.
Little did she know, the reason Lu Xingzhou insisted she hang her underwear outside was that seeing her intimate wear, whether he looked up or down, disturbed his mentality.
A thirty-year-old man, embarrassed to the point of blushing at the sight of a young girl’s intimate apparel.
If word got out, where would he put his face?
“Okay, let’s sleep,” Lu Xingzhou feigned composure as he passed the sofa, picked up the book he had been reading, and strode into the study.
Jiang Man looked up and noticed that he had switched books again today. The cover was no longer the previous “The Wealth of Nations,” but “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu.
Goodness gracious, a capitalist who loves military strategies?
Is the business world really like a battlefield?
That night, Jiang Man and Lu Xingzhou still lived together peacefully, each sleeping on their own side of the bed, without disturbing each other.
The next day, the two of them woke up at the same time, one after another they freshened up, went downstairs together for breakfast.
If uninformed, seeing them going everywhere together, one would really be envious of this talented and beautiful couple.
But the servants in the villa were all well aware of what was going on between them.
After last night, Wen Jingya also knew it all too well.
She sat early at the dining table waiting, pretending to be completely clueless.
Such a big secret, of course, it would be more shocking if Grandma and the relatives at home were the ones to uncover it!
“Brother, sister-in-law, good morning!” Thinking this, Wen Jingya was in a very good mood, taking the initiative to greet them.
Lu Xingzhou nodded in acknowledgment and, when he reached the dining table, gallantly pulled out the chair for Jiang Man.
Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, feeling flattered, but in the end, said nothing and sat down quietly.
The three of them had a very harmonious breakfast together.
It wasn’t until nearly finished eating that Wen Jingya started to smirk, “Brother, I made up with my roommate, I’ll go back to the dorm to sleep tonight.”
Hearing this, Jiang Man raised her eyebrows, feeling an urge to dance with joy.
Although sharing a room with Lu Xingzhou was no big issue, it wasn’t her own personal space, not as free.
She suddenly felt as though she was about to regain her freedom.
Different from her delight, Lu Xingzhou felt a slight sense of loss, though at that moment, he couldn’t figure out where this sense of loss came from.
“Let Zhao Huai take you to school.” He said indifferently after a while.
Wen Jingya nodded, “Thanks, brother, you’re so kind to me!”

“Brother, it’s getting late, so I’m headed to school now.”
“Go ahead.”
As Wen Jingya got up, Lu Xingzhou called Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai lived just across from Rong Mansion in the Century Apartments, where he would wake up early everyday, prepare the day’s workload, and wait outside the villa for Lu Xingzhou.
When Wen Jingya walked out of the villa and saw Zhao Huai standing next to Lu Xingzhou’s dedicated vehicle, she felt quite smug.
This Maybach’s license plate was too conspicuous, driving to school, was there any doubt that this was Xingzhou’s car?
Without her needing to say anything, others would gossip, claiming that Xingzhou himself had personally driven her to school!
A few minutes after Wen Jingya left, Jiang Man wiped her mouth clean, ready to leave as well, “Mr. Lu, I’m going to the driving school now.”
“Go ahead.” Lu Xingzhou gestured with his hand.
After Jiang Man had taken a few steps, he called out, not quite at ease, “No skipping class today!”
“Don’t worry.” Jiang Man tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Who would have thought, she’d one day be managed by someone else, and that person was none other than her husband!
If her reputation for being tightly controlled by her husband got out, how would she mingle in society in the future?
Jiang Man found the situation both helpless and amusing.
However, she didn’t dislike this feeling of being managed; it was a fresh and quite interesting experience.
After Jiang Man also left, the dining room was left with only Lu Xingzhou.
He elegantly wiped his mouth and hands clean, and called over the butler, “Go buy a set of automatic clothes hanging rods to install on my balcony.”
“Ah?” The butler thought he had misheard.
The house had four washing machines and four dryers; there was simply no need to hang clothes.
Moreover, wasn’t the young master’s balcony turned into a little garden, with a lot of flowers and plants growing, and fish being raised?
Such a small garden with a clothes hanging rod would be positively discordant!
“Didn’t hear me clearly?” Lu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows with a note of authority in his voice.
The butler immediately nodded respectfully, “Heard you clearly, heard you clearly.”
What’s with the young master today? A bit out of the ordinary…
