Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

That evening, after Zuko finished his work and returned home, Lina was still sitting on the couch with the TV on, but her mind was not on the television at all. She watched as the man entered the house, changed into slippers as usual, and took the empty food container into the kitchen, washing it leisurely.

He acted as if nothing had happened! He had even eaten up all the chicken and noodles!

Lina bit her lip and waited for him to come and coax her.

After a while, the sound of running water stopped in the kitchen, and Zuko dried his hands and walked out. He actually sat down beside her.

Lina was slightly appeased, and her lips were about to curl up when the man suddenly blurted out, “Are you still angry?”

Lina thought that he was not completely clueless. She responded with a muffled hum and turned away to avoid looking at him.

Zuko cleared his throat, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his cold face, though he still maintained a serious expression. “Um… let’s talk about it?”

Lina was taken aback, and a smile she could not hide formed at the corner of her lips.

Countless classic scenes from the romance dramas she had watched in the past played out in her mind. When the female lead was angry, the male lead would lower his stance to coax her, but the way of coaxing would be different. She wondered what approach Zeke would take.

Judging from his clueless appearance, he probably would not be too romantic. She would already be satisfied if he was willing to say a few sweet words. Besides, this man was someone of action. He might even use his actions to “force” her not to be angry, like…

Lina’s face turned red, and her ears seemed to be burning. She made an effort to suppress those fanciful thoughts.

“Um, alright,” she said calmly. “What do you want to talk about? I’m listening.”

“I know why you’re angry,” Zuko said in a low voice. “I suppose you overheard what Mrs. Nash said to me this afternoon.”

“Mm…”

“If my deduction is correct, the sentence you heard was precisely her saying that she has an only daughter, and in the future, all their family assets will belong to the daughter, while your family’s assets will go to Dave, and you won’t get anything. So, you thought she was instigating me to leave this family, right?”

Lina furrowed her brows. He said so much in one breath, but his expression was serious, as if he had no intention of coaxing her.

As expected, Zuko continued with reasoning.
