The year Zhu Zhu's security company went public, Lu Chongyan officially graduated from Hai University and became a proud scientific researcher.
He was quite gifted in academics, his grades in elementary and middle school even better than Lu Zhu's. If it wasn't for his father's leg injury, he would have only had a middle school education.
Later, he made up his mind to study again. With his talent and extraordinary effort, success naturally followed.
As they had long agreed, he would graduate, and they would have their wedding.
They had obtained their marriage certificate long ago. Knowing they lived together, both sets of parents worried they might accidentally have a child, so they quickly had the couple get their certificate.
However, the wedding had been postponed. Those who knew Lu Chongyan only knew him to be a man of integrity, unaware that he had been married for several years.
Invitations were sent to a few people, all of whom were incredulous. Muddled and confused, they attended the wedding of their usually low-key friend and the CEO of a listed company. Upon returning, even with their bragging, few believed them.
Therefore, the female colleagues in the same research institute continued to covet Chief Lu, continuing to curry favor, thinking they could win his heart someday.
The day to win his heart had not yet arrived; the rightful queen had come first.
Zhu Zhu was like a spinning top, picking up children (Fu Ningyun) daily, attending company meetings, and occasionally having to train people herself as the CEO. Over the years, she had countless times thought of quitting.
If not for the constant gratitude and faith she received from all walks of life daily, she would have exploded long ago. Sud an Fiction Net.
Finally managing to squeeze out some time to pick him up after work, she was met with a crowd from Lu Chongyan's institute before she could even see him.
Amidst the crowd were many discussions.
“Is that Chief Lu’s wife?”
Someone questioned, “Didn’t they say she’s the CEO of a certain company? Why is she so young?”
Someone’s words dripped with sourness, “Who knows what kind of third-rate company it is? Maybe it’s all just show. What’s so great about having a bit of money to flaunt?”
A young girl looked at Zhu Zhu’s commanding presence, her eyes full of stars, “Even if it’s just a show, I’d take it if she’s this beautiful! Why do all beautiful older sisters like smelly men?”
Someone immediately retorted, “Chief Lu is way better than any ‘smelly man’.”
A man who had long coveted Lu Chongyan’s position said meaningfully, “I’ve never heard of the company they mentioned. Perhaps she just spends money on fun. But she doesn't look like a second-generation rich kid either. There are many people these days who use their sugar daddy’s money to keep someone.”
Those who were fortunate enough to be invited to the wedding immediately felt offended, “Don’t make a fool of yourself by being ignorant. Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There are countless things you haven’t heard of. You can’t even do your experimental data logs properly, but you have so much gossip. Why don’t you focus on keeping your hard-won permanent position? Jealousy won’t change anything.”
The man was so angered he almost swore.
Lu Chongyan, wearing his white lab coat, emerged from inside. Upon seeing Zhu Zhu, his expression instantly changed, and his footsteps quickened.
“Didn’t you say half an hour? How did you get here so quickly?”
“I wanted to see you sooner, so I drove faster.”
Those who heard this felt their teeth ache with envy.
“Thank you, let’s go. Oh, wait for me to change.”
Zhu Zhu grabbed his hand, her cool tone hinting at anticipation, “No need to change.”
Lu Chongyan understood in a second and indulgently nodded, “Okay, no need to change.”
If she liked it, he would wear it for her.
A collective groan of “Lemon tree bears lemon fruit, under the lemon tree, it’s you and me,” came from the group behind them.

As the female and male protagonists of this world, Fu Ningyun and Bai Shuo’s romantic storyline was very strong. Fu Hongyu tried multiple times to disrupt it, but in the end, he held Fu Ningyun’s hand and delivered her to Bai Shuo.
Bai Shuo, to gain his favor, provided him with much assistance, helping him avenge himself and his mother, achieving great success and climbing to a very high position.
He did not repeat the mistakes of his past life.
Lu Zhu’s parents remained as they were. A small favor from Zhu Zhu was enough to make them happily brag to others. They might have had greed, but they were also content.
In this world, Lu Chongyan had no significant blackening value to begin with. However, Zhu Zhu was happy to stay with him, and the two lived a life that was both ordinary and legendary.
Later, he died in the hospital, and Zhu Zhu immediately departed the world.
【Congratulations to the host, mission accomplished.】
