My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 742: 742, how did Xiao Yebai come over here?

Lu Chenyu’s brows were tightly furrowed, his expression as stern, critical, and disdainful as always.

However, today he looked somewhat ridiculous due to a band-aid on the corner of his mouth and the accompanying redness and swelling that diminished his dignity.

He walked over and looked at the stack of papers, “Where’s the material I just printed?”

“Huh?” Mo Weiyi blinked her eyes and hurriedly bent down to find it.

Oh no, she was in such a hurry to get off work that she seemed to have…

Lu Chenyu’s anger flared up instantly, “Did you mix up the materials I printed with these?”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

“What else can you mess up? Don’t you know what’s being printed here?” Lu Chenyu continued to berate her.

“I didn’t mean to,” Mo Weiyi explained, feeling aggrieved, “I was just eager to get off work…”

“If you’re in such a hurry, why bother coming to work? Isn’t it better to stay home and act like a princess?” Lu Chenyu inadvertently voiced his thoughts.

After clearing his throat twice, he said loudly, “It’s only been 10 minutes since you got off work, what’s the rush? Hurry up and find the materials for me!”

To his surprise, Mo Weiyi’s voice was louder than his, “I got it!”

Lu Chenyu’s face turned dark instantly, “How dare you shout at me after making a mistake?”

“Master, it was you who shouted at me first.”

“You…”

“Master, how old are you this year?” Mo Weiyi suddenly asked.

“Twenty-five,” Lu Chenyu answered subconsciously.

While searching for the materials, Mo Weiyi said, “How can you be so prone to temper tantrums at only twenty-five? My dad is forty-five and he’s not as moody as you…”

“Smack!” Lu Chenyu slammed his hand down on the desk.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Forget it.

She bowed her head and began to quickly hunt for Lu Chenyu’s printed materials amongst the pile of papers.

“…” Lu Chenyu glared at her gloomily.

His hands clenched tight, his bones creaking. He felt like throttling her.

…

Mo Weiyi soon found all the printed materials, “Master, I’m done.”

Lu Chenyu didn’t even reach out to take them, “Check for any typos.”

“Oh.”

Mo Weiyi retracted her hand and started checking from the first page.

Lu Chenyu watched her with aversion.

Since the last time he put forth his request, Mo Weiyi now removed all her jewelry when working, tied up her hair, and got rid of the blinding diamond-studded manicure. Although, Lu Chenyu still found her annoying.

“Who allowed you to wear slippers in the office?”

Mo Weiyi’s little white feet instantly withdrew into her slippers and she said pitifully, “My foot just recovered…”

“Hmph!” Lu Chenyu immediately turned around and left.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

*

About ten minutes later, Mo Weiyi knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Lu Chenyu was sitting behind his desk, looking through the preparation files for tomorrow’s court date.

Normally he would leave work around the same time but due to unforeseen circumstances with the case, old Wang’s child was hospitalized with a fever, he had no choice but to stay behind and prepare on his own.

Mo Weiyi handed over the materials, “Master, I’ve checked them all, there are no typos.”

Without even lifting his gaze, Lu Chenyu said, “I just sent a file to your email, please go over it for me.”

Mo Weiyi immediately lifted her left hand to check the time.

It was already 5:50.

“Master, do you need this file urgently? If not, can I check it tomorrow? I want to get off work, my old…”

She didn’t even get to finish her sentence.

With a smack, Lu Chenyu slapped his hand down on his desk again,” I haven’t finished work.”

“Why haven’t you finished?” Mo Weiyi retorted.

Lu Chenyu couldn’t be bothered to explain, “Hurry up and do your work, you can leave after.”

“…Okay then.” Mo Weiyi had no choice but to turn around and leave.

*

Returning to her own office, she opened her laptop and logged into her work email.

On seeing the file.

What the hell, 50 pages?

How long is this going to take?

The phone on her desk rang and Mo Weiyi picked up, “Hello, this is…”

“Get it done quickly, report back to me when you’re done.” Lu Chenyu’s grave voice came over the line and then the call was abruptly ended.

Mo Weiyi wrinkled her tiny nose, had no choice but to quickly reply to Xiao Yebai’s text, and then got to work.

…

Another half hour passed.

Lu Chenyu was looking at the materials Mo Weiyi had submitted, frowning as he read them.

Mo Weiyi stood by his desk, occasionally glancing at her wristwatch.

It was already 6:20!

Since starting her internship, she had never left work this late before!

She wondered if Xiaobai was getting worried…

“In a hurry to get off work?” The sarcastic voice of Lu Chenyu suddenly sounded.

Mo Weiyi was embarrassed and quickly let go of her hands, “No.”

She had already learned her lesson.

The more anxious she was, the more Lu Chenyu would deliberately make things hard for her— this old coot was so bad!

Lu Chenyu snorted, “When I first started at the age of 20, I spent more than half a year just binding case files, working overtime till 10 in the evening, and being the first to arrive in the office by 9 the next morning, serving tea and water to my master, cleaning, and even working over the weekends…”

“Master, who was your master then?” Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Chenyu was 25 this year, yet he already had the demeanour of a seasoned cadre.

To become Nancheng’s top-notch lawyer at such a young age, apart from his exceptional talent, the identity and background of being from the Lu family also played a role. Otherwise, with his proud and unappealing personality…@@novelbin@@

Mo Weiyi simply found it very hard to imagine who that big shot was that made him do such basic, technicality-free tasks.

Lu Chenyu continued to snort again, “My father.”

“Pfft!”

As Lu Chenyu glanced askance, Mo Weiyi covered her mouth, lowered her head, and tried hard to suppress her laughter.

Downstairs.

Xiao Yebai checked the time and got out of the car.

Right behind the black Bentley was a Jeep, Zhan Yao and Gu Dazhuang were chatting on the side of the road.

Seeing Xiao Yebai getting out of the car, Zhan Yao hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong, what’s wrong?”

“I’m going up to take a look.”

“What’s the rush? Just wait, we’re not in a hurry anyway.”

Xiao Yebai was expressionless, “I am.”

Zhan Yao snorted.

He’s a total wife-devotee!

“Mr. Xiao, I’ll go up with you!” Gu Dazhuang suddenly chimed in from the side.

“What are you up to now? Can you stop causing trouble?” Zhan Yao scolded. “If it weren’t for you starting a fight with that bunch of gangsters yesterday, would we have this mess?”

As a result, Lu Chenyu saw it and even told the Little Princess.

He was worried and felt it necessary to come over and put on a show to prevent the Little Princess from having wild thoughts and suspecting Xiao Yebai, which would not be beneficial to their future plans.

Gu Dazhuang scratched his head in grievance, “I’ve been waiting here for half an hour, I need to use the bathroom.”

“Hold it in!”

“I can’t.”

“Try harder!”

Xiao Yebai had already headed straight for the law firm, Gu Dazhuang didn’t utter a word and followed him.

Zhan Yao had no choice but to curse “Damn,” pick up his feet, and follow them.

**

“That’s it.”

On the tenth floor of the law firm, Lu Chenyu finally spoke.

Mo Weiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Master, I’m getting off work first.”

“Wait a minute.”

Mo Weiyi made a bitter face, “Master, do you have any other instructions?”

Lu Chenyu rolled his dead fish eyes, “Have you finished copying the information you needed just now? It will be used tomorrow, have you forgotten?”

“Right.” Mo Weiyi had really forgotten, “I’m going to copy it now.”

Lu Chenyu waved his hands impatiently.

…

The time was already 6:30 PM.

The 10th floor office was deserted, only the sound of the machine could be heard from the copy room.

Luckily, there were not many files left. After Mo Weiyi finished copying, she organized the files according to the number of copies, then put them into transparent file bags and stuck on the label stickers.

There was a knock on the door.

Lu Chenyu was standing outside with his briefcase, “Not done yet?”

“All done, all done.” Mo Weiyi hurriedly came out with the file bags and returned to her office.

She then started packing up her handbag, changing into high heels, putting on bracelets, necklaces, rings… then let down her tied-up hair, took out her makeup bag, pulled out a small mirror, and reapplied her lipstick.

Lu Chenyu was stunned.

Damn.

Even going home is such a hassle?

He simply doesn’t get it.

Shaking his head, he said, “I’m leaving.”

But as he turned around, he saw a man standing in the corridor.

His whole body froze instantly.

Damn!

Why did Xiao Yebai come here?

Mo Weiyi walked out of her office with her small bag, innocently asked, “Master, why haven’t you left yet?”

Following his gaze, she turned her head and saw.

“Xiaobai?”

The man was standing in the hallway, dressed in a suit, one hand holding a phone, the other in his suit pocket. He wore sophisticated glasses, his whole demeanour scholarly and his countenance cold and handsome.

Mo Weiyi rushed over excitedly.

Upon reaching him, she hugged Xiao Yebai tightly, clinging to him, “Xiaobai, you came up to pick me up?”

Xiao Yebai took his left hand out of his trouser pocket, put it around the small woman’s waist instead. His handsome face was completely calm, his gaze still steadily falling on Lu Chenyu’s face, “Mr. Lu, you’re still working overtime this late?”
