She stares blankly for a moment. "Are you that rich? Auntie Wang didn't say anything. She only said you were a good person, trustworthy, not wanting for anything, and debt-free. She thought you'd be a good match, so she wanted to introduce you."
Ethan Lu replies, "Didn't Auntie Wang tell you?"
Raelle Tang has a bad feeling. "Tell me what?"
"Do you know the Lu Corporation?"
"Yeah." How could she not? It's the number one company, and it's owned by the male lead in the book, Ethan Lu. He's the CEO. She's been in this world for five years and has heard the news that he took over as CEO, but his face has never been revealed to the public.
With his hands in his pockets, Ethan Lu says, "I'm the heir, Ethan Lu."
Raelle Tang's world collapses.
Ethan Lu...
It's actually Ethan Lu... The male lead, Ethan Lu!
"But your name is Chen Yu!" Raelle Tang wants to punch him. The name on his marriage certificate is Chen Yu
Raelle Tang frantically opens her certificate to check.
Sure enough, it says Chen Yu.
Ethan Lu finds his wife's antics hilarious. He Laughs as he explains, "I'm an only child. Since I was little, people have tried to kidnap me because my name is Ethan Lu. For my safety, my family temporarily changed my name to Chen Yu until I got older and could change it back."
"You're already so old, why haven't you changed it back?" If he had, she wouldn't have married him today.
"I've been busy with work and haven't gotten around to it." He pauses. "I'll change it in a few days."
Oh my god...
Raelle Tang buries her head in her hands, with no way to vent, so she just stomps her feet on the ground. The obsessive male lead from the book has become her husband! Shouldn't the male lead belong to the female lead? How did he end up being her husband?!
Ethan Lu crosses his arms, watching Raelle Tang's tantrum with amusement. He thinks his wife is adorable. No wonder Auntie Wang said she was a good match for him. Even his mother came to secretly look at her and said she was perfect for him.
After she's had enough, Raelle Tang instantly changes her expression, smiling obsequiously. "Hey, Big Brother, I'll pay the nine dollars. Can we get a divorce, please?"
Ethan Lu cups the back of her neck with his large hand. "You don't want me, huh? Well, I'm not leaving you. Come on, let's go home. Mom is waiting to meet you."
A well-trained bodyguard steps out of one of the luxury cars, standing by the open door. When he sees Ethan Lu herding Raelle Tang toward the car, he quickly opens the door to the one in the middle.
Raelle Tang is ushered into the Rolls-Royce against her will, on the verge of tears.
In the back seat, Ethan Lu sits next to Raelle Tang. He gently rubs her head while calmly calling his parents to tell them he's bringing Raelle Tang home.
Raelle Tang tries to dodge his hand, but she can't, only succeeding in making her hair look even messier. Ethan Lu can't help but laugh quietly.
Raelle Tang is about to cry. "You're laughing!"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh," he says, suppressing his laughter. He starts smoothing down her hair. "There. You're pretty again," he says, like he's coaxing a child.
"Hmph!"
Ethan Lu can't resist one more gentle pat on her head.
Before they even arrive at the Lu family mansion, Raelle Tang feels a headache coming on. In the book, Ethan Lu parents dislike the female lead. His Mother, in particular, despises the female lead and is outraged by her son's crazed and obsessive pursuit of her. Their mother-son relationship completely breaks down later on.
Right now, Ethan Lu hasn't met the female lead yet. Their meeting is set for next year, when he's twenty-six. His parents don't know the female lead yet.
Back then, the female lead was a famous movie star, and Ethan's parents still didn't like her. Raelle Tang, an eighteenth-tier actress, doubts they'll like her.
She doesn't even notice the luxurious mansion that spans almost seven thousand square meters. The car stops in front of the main villa. The bodyguard opens the door.
Ethan gets out, his long legs planted firmly on the ground as he looks at Raelle Tang, whose mind seems to be a million miles away. He shakes his head with a smile "What are you thinking about? Get out" Oh, right." Raelle Tang snaps out of it and gets out. Ethan protectively shields her head as she exits the car. Raelle is a little stunned but doesn't say anything.
As soon as Raelle Tang and Ethan Lu walk to the living room entrance, Victoria Shen , Ethan's mother, hears they've arrived and rushes out to greet them.
"Raelle!" Victoria Shen pulls Raelle Tang's hand with a loving expression. "Did this bad boy bully you? This is great! You're finally my daughter-in-law! I've been waiting for this day!"
Raelle Tang is a little confused. Why does Ethan's mother seem to like her so much?
