Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 268 She Wants to Sit, Let Her Sit ( - s 267 and Combined)

Chapter 268: Chapter 268 She Wants to Sit, Let Her Sit (Chapters 267 and 268 Combined)

"Hmm, I can fight tigers now."

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t see it, but upon hearing her words, the man’s eyes lit up with the posture of a big grey wolf about to devour a little white rabbit.

Having just gotten over her fever, Shuqing was not in high spirits, thus she lay back down after finishing the conversation with Lu Jinyang. But once her body tilted, she fell into a warm embrace.

Before she could react, the man was already carrying her towards the rest area.

"Lu Jinyang, it’s working hours now, what do you want to do?"

"Sleep."

Zhuang Shuqing felt like crying but had no tears—his so-called ’sleep’ was definitely not as simple as just sleeping.

Indeed, after laying her on the bed, his solid and strong arm curled around her, and he pressed his body onto hers, "We haven’t exercised for several days."

"..."

How could she reject him?

Zhuang Shuqing racked her brains but could not think of any practical way.

The man on top of her suddenly chuckled, and she looked up, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at you."

After saying that, he rolled off her and lay beside her, pulling her into his embrace, "If you’re tired, sleep."

Zhuang Shuqing: "..." So, he’s just letting her off like that?

She didn’t think too much about it because the moment she touched the pillow, sleepiness overwhelmed her and she quickly fell into a deep slumber.

When she woke up again, the figure of the man was no longer by her side; the spot next to her had grown cold, and she figured he must have left quite a while ago.

After waking up, Zhuang Shuqing’s strength was much recovered and her mind was much clearer.

Suddenly, she remembered that Secretary Ding gave her some documents to look over last time. Because she was sick, she hadn’t handed them back to him yet, so after thinking it over, she went back to her office to get the documents and headed towards the second floor.

As she passed by the pantry on the second floor, Zhuang Shuqing heard Fangfang’s voice and couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

Fangfang was speaking enthusiastically, oblivious to the person standing outside.

"Fangfang, is what you’re saying true? Lin Xiaoxiao has a very good relationship with our Boss?" a colleague asked.

"It must be true. I heard Xiaoxiao calling him ’brother’ in a very intimate manner, but Lin Xiaoxiao is an only child, so the Boss must be her childhood friend," Fangfang described with emotion, as if it was indeed the case.

Zhuang Shuqing raised her eyebrows without a sound, childhood friends?

She was about to move on when Fangfang spoke again, this time not about Lin Xiaoxiao, but about her, Zhuang Shuqing.

"Oh, and do you know why Zhuang Shuqing has been taking time off these days?"

The colleague from earlier said, "Not sure, do you know?"

"Of course! Look at that seductress, with a face that’s a disaster, who knows if she’s been focusing all her attention on the Boss when Mr. Gu isn’t here. Haven’t you all noticed that the Boss hasn’t been at the company these days either?"

"Fangfang, are you serious? I don’t think Shuqing is that kind of person, there might be some misunderstanding," another said.

"Definitely not wrong! I’ll tell you quietly, these exclusive scoops are all told to me by Xiaoxiao. With Xiaoxiao’s good relationship with the Boss, could her knowledge be merely rumors?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Shuqing’s beautiful eyes spun, and she quietly stepped back a few steps, then with deliberately heavy footsteps, she approached the pantry once more.

Before reaching the door, she saw Fangfang and that colleague walking her way, and she remembered that the colleague who defended her was called Huang Miaomiao.

Fangfang seemed not to expect that the person approaching was her; from afar, Zhuang Shuqing could see the surprise in Fangfang’s eyes, but it quickly turned to mockery.

Zhuang Shuqing did not stop by their side, and when she passed by Huang Miaomiao, she gave her a friendly smile.

Watching Zhuang Shuqing turn into the secretaries’ office, Fangfang scoffed, "Look, now she won’t even greet us."

Huang Miaomiao did not speak, for she clearly saw Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes smiling as she greeted her.

Maybe Zhuang Shuqing wasn’t as unbearable as Fangfang described?

Huang Miaomiao contemplated this thoughtfully.

-

It was a minute before getting off work when Lu Jinyang called Zhuang Shuqing.

Descending to the parking lot, Zhuang Shuqing saw Lu Jinyang and Lin Xiaoxiao standing beside the Bentley not far away. Her face showed no emotion as she walked over at a leisurely pace.

Unsure what the two were discussing, she reached the rear end of the car without being noticed and decided to stop there, listening to their conversation.

The excited voice of Lin Xiaoxiao came through, "Jinyang brother, we agreed, you must come to my birthday party this time!"

"Mhm."

Zhuang Shuqing was completely upset; he actually agreed!

Turning to Lin Xiaoxiao, she was ecstatic, jumping up and down on the spot like a child assured by an adult, almost ready to throw her arms around him.

Suddenly, Lu Jinyang glanced in her direction, and feeling his gaze, Zhuang Shuqing looked back at him. Right after, she noticed Lin Xiaoxiao also turning her gaze towards her.

"Shuqing, you’re here too. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

We?

Before Zhuang Shuqing could figure out the situation, Lin Xiaoxiao had already opened the rear passenger door, and then the front passenger door, "Shuqing, come on quickly."

She looked at Lu Jinyang; he extended his hand to her, and as she walked towards the rear seat, Lin Xiaoxiao slipped into the front passenger seat, leaving her stunned.

At that moment, as Lu Jinyang reached to take her hand and walk forward, he realized someone was already seated in the front passenger seat, and his face instantly darkened.

"Get out!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, acting as if she heard nothing, kept rummaging through her bag.

Zhuang Shuqing turned to Lu Jinyang and saw his face so overcast it seemed droplets could fall from it, while Lin Xiaoxiao remained indifferent. She watched the scene unfold without a word.

"Don’t make me say it a third time, get down!"

After his words fell, Lin Xiaoxiao finally raised her head to look at them, a puzzled expression on her face, "Jinyang brother, didn’t you say you would give me a ride home? Why are you asking me to get out?"

Zhuang Shuqing saw the depths of Lu Jinyang’s eyes, dark as obsidian, as if brewing a storm.

However, he did not explode, but instead took Zhuang Shuqing’s hand and walked away.

Behind them came the anxious calls of Lin Xiaoxiao, each more urgent than the last.

Zhuang Shuqing: "Jinyang, you..."

"If she wants to sit, let her sit."

"..." After a moment of silence, Zhuang Shuqing said, "What about your car then?"

"Car keys are with me, I’ll have it towed tomorrow to be cleaned before retrieving it."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shuqing was inwardly thrilled, but she maintained a concerned facade, "Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"

His car’s front passenger seat could only be occupied by her, a woman; he’d rather have it cleaned and then let her sit. This fact pleased her immensely.

"Yeah, it’s indeed a bit inappropriate. Accompany me to pick out a new car later."

Zhuang Shuqing: "..."

Mr. Lu, is it really good to be so wealthy and ostentatious?

Have you ever considered the feelings of your poor spouse beside you?

Lu Jinyang truly took her to choose a car, eventually settling on a Maybach Landaulet. Since it was out of stock domestically, he could only pick it up in ten days.
