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.

“Since you heard all that, didn’t you listen to what followed?” He looked at her seriously. “I made her leave. It

seemed she was quite afraid of me and ran off with her things… How come you didn’t notice any of that?”

“Hold on…” Lina was a bit perplexed. “Why are you telling me all this?”

“I’m analyzing the cause and effect, my attitude, and the unreasonable part of your behavior.”

“You…”

“The cause and effect, I just mentioned. My attitude is quite clear. I won’t leave this family.” His gaze was stern.

“But you misunderstood me and made yourself angry. That’s something I find hard to understand.”

Lina was rendered speechless.

“Now that we’ve discussed the situation, you should understand my thoughts. In the future, you can’t easily

misunderstand me, let alone give me a cold shoulder. Understand?” said Zuko.

“Zeke Hamerton…”

“Lina, you misunderstood me this time, but I won’t hold it against you. Just don’t make the same mistake again!” he

added.

Lina looked at him silently.

Zuko thought his lecture was successful and even patted her head at the end with a gentle smile. “That’s a good

girl!”

However, the air stilled instantly.

The girl’s expression became increasingly strange, and he could also hear his own increasingly rapid heartbeat…

After a while, Lina sneered and softly asked, “Finished talking?”

“Uh… yes,” he replied.

“Very well, go to bed early,” Lina said as she stood up but did not move toward the stairs.

Zuko did not manage to react. He suddenly saw her forcefully grab the folding bed leaning against the wall and

throw it to the entryway with a loud bang!

He was dumbfounded. He had no idea that this seemingly delicate girl would have such strength!

“Say, you—”

Lina shouted angrily, “Sleep outside tonight!”

Zuko stood frozen in place.

After she huffed and puffed her way upstairs, Zuko finally loosened his stiff neck and limbs, recalling everything that

had just happened as if it were a dream.

Then, he walked to the entryway and carefully unfolded the folding bed. He covered himself with a sheet and lay

down.

His mind was still in turmoil… Had he said something wrong just now?

It should not be. He always had sufficient points and logical reasoning when he argued with someone. He had never

lost in that regard.

He knew Lina was jealous, but she did misunderstand him! If he did not point it out to her this time, what would

happen if she got angry again next time?

Zuko scratched his head, feeling frustrated. He had never been this tired, even when writing his thesis back then.

He tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Suddenly, he remembered a high-quality question-and-

answer website and logged in to ask another question.

[What should I do if I make my girlfriend angry? Online and waiting.]

In no time, there were many replies and comments. He skimmed through them and explained the cause and effect

of Lina’s anger.

Then his post exploded with responses.

Everyone unanimously mocked his actions as those of a clueless straight guy and wished him happiness in his

singledom.

Zuko was furious and wanted to fight them. Then he thought, since he could not sleep anyway, he might as well

engage in an argument with these people!

However, a response with just a few likes caught his eye.

[There’s no other way when you make your girlfriend angry. Regardless of who is at fault, just apologize.]

Zuko thought for a moment and replied: [What if she’s not my girlfriend yet?]

The person quickly replied: [Bro, if you dare to do something like this while having a one-sided crush, I’ll give you

some advice—If you really like her, confess to her quickly. Don’t hesitate!]

That sentence suddenly struck Zuko.

‘Confess…’

In fact, ever since Toph made that joke about kissing her, Zuko had subconsciously had that thought. It was just that

this person today was the one to voice it for him.

Zuko turned off his phone and blanked out, lying on the bed. Before long, he turned his head and looked outside.

The starry night was beautiful and breathtaking.

He smiled, rested his arm on his forehead, and his mood became as clear as the starry sky.

…

Fred was in his office looking at reports when one of his subordinates knocked on the door and walked quietly to his

side.

Without lifting his head, Fred asked, “Did you find everything?”

The subordinate stammered and could not say anything.

Fred pressed his pen a bit too hard, tearing through the paper, then slowly raised his eyes to look at him. “What

happened?”

“Sorry, Mr. Grist…” stammered the subordinate. “We’ve investigated everything we could but couldn’t find

anything. The tracking device on the truck Zeke drove… was broken!”
