Lu Yichen was indeed clever. Fearing that his wife might hear rumors from elsewhere in the future, he confessed honestly during their night-time phone call, explaining both what had happened and how he dealt with it. He even took the opportunity to brag a little and fish for a reward.
Luo Qiao gave him verbal praise as an encouragement, telling him he did a great job, and to stay on high alert. She also rewarded him with a casual outfit she had made by hand, mentioning with a laugh that it was already on its way.
It was clear that this reward was arranged on the fly, which made Lu Yichen even happier. It showed that his wife was always thinking about him and had even sent him clothes in advance.
In fact, he also had a gift for his wife, but since he wasn't sure if it would come to fruition, he had kept it a secret.
What Lu Yichen didn't expect was the huge surprise waiting for him.
