The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 244 - 141 Lu Jingchen, You’re So Annoying

Song Qiao paused as she bent down to pick up the floral tea cup, looking up at Chen Ma who stood before her with a mix of confusion and surprise in her eyes. She continued her motion to grab the tea cup, took a sip, then asked, "Does the old madam think that Zuo Yuqing is not a good match for Lu Jingchen?"

Song Qiao had heard that before Zuo Yuqing made her debut, her family’s financial condition was average, originating from a moderately well-off family. After getting together with Lu Jingchen, her father started a company. Without much thought, one would know that the Lu Family must have offered help behind the scenes.

After that, Song Qiao wasn’t too clear on the details, after all these things were told to her by Ning Wan, and she never really paid much attention to such news. Compared to her, Ning Wan was much more into gossip.

Having such a gossipy best friend, Song Qiao still felt her life was much more colorful, at least when bored she could listen to Ning Wan talk about those scandals to pass the time.

Chen Ma shook her head and explained, "The old madam is not so conservative, she has always believed there’s no need for equal social status in marriage, it’s all about what the master thinks. Even if the master liked a girl from a poor family, it’s fine, as long as she is clean and kind. Just like you, madam, you would definitely be liked by the old madam."

In the time spent with Song Qiao, Chen Ma discovered that Song Qiao was really nice, with a good personality, good temper, and very easy to talk to, as well as being kind to their servants.

Chen Ma had also mentioned Song Qiao to the old madam since she was called over by the master to take care of both Song Qiao and the master’s daily life, and the old madam has always been very fond of her son, the master, often calling to ask about him and his wife.

Chen Ma had always stayed dutifully in the Lu Family, doing everything that she was supposed to do, having worked there for decades starting from when she was just in her teens, one could say that when the old madam was newly married into the Lu Family, she was already working there.

Perhaps because she had been with the Lu Family for so long and had given so much, the Lu Family treated her very well, and the old madam didn’t really treat her as a servant, always calling her by her name.

In her youth, the old madam was a well-known lady in the military compound, and after marrying the old master, she became a famous wife in the military compound, maintaining a certain reputation in their circle even now at an older age.

All of this was probably because the old madam grew up as a young lady, having learned the ways of being a lady for most of her life.

In her life, there were few people Chen Ma admired, and the old madam was the one she admired the most.

Song Qiao paused upon hearing Chen Ma’s words, then smiled and said, "Zuo Yuqing is called the National Goddess by everyone, if the old madam doesn’t like her, how could she possibly like me? Chen Ma, you’re having fun at my expense again."

"Madam, please don’t speak like that." Chen Ma’s face immediately took on an earnest expression, she reached out to adjust the blanket on Song Qiao, and said, "Miss Zuo Yuqing is not as great as everyone says, and there are no perfect people in this world. It’s understandable that you do not like Miss Zuo Yuqing; it’s just that the master doesn’t know about these things..."

Being naturally clever, Song Qiao immediately understood that things were definitely not as simple as she thought. She knew if she wanted to know, Chen Ma would definitely tell her.

But if it was something even Lu Jingchen didn’t know, asking for clarity now didn’t seem quite appropriate.

"Did Zuo Yuqing do something unforgivable?" Unable to suppress her curiosity, Song Qiao took another sip from her cup of floral tea and asked.

However, Chen Ma might truly not know, as she just shook her head, "I’m not very clear about this matter either, the old madam didn’t tell anyone at the time. She just straightforwardly said she didn’t like Miss Zuo Yuqing, and declared that as long as she was alive, she absolutely wouldn’t allow Miss Zuo Yuqing to step foot inside the Lu Family’s door. Because of this, at that time, the master did the first thing in his life to go against the old madam’s wishes."

...

Lu Jingchen finished work at five o’clock and went straight back to the villa. As soon as he stepped inside, Chen Ma immediately went to the shoe cabinet, brought over the slippers, and placed them at his feet, "Master, you’re back."

Lu Jingchen hummed faintly, while changing shoes he looked towards the living room and not seeing Song Qiao, he asked, "Where’s madam?"

Chen Ma paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Madam seems to be asleep in the bedroom and hasn’t gotten up yet."

He was just about to undo the buttons on his shirt cuffs when he paused, an unreadable look in his eyes, and casually asked, "When did Ning Yan’er and Su Ruran leave?"

"Miss Ning and Miss Su stayed for an hour and a half before leaving. The madam came down an hour after you left at noon, and she only talked with Miss Ning and Miss Su for half an hour," Chen Ma replied.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, he hummed faintly, and then instructed Chen Ma to go and prepare dinner.

He wanted to know what Ning Yan’er and Song Qiao talked about, but he was well aware that if he asked Chen Ma, she wouldn’t know either.

After all, in his opinion, Song Qiao wouldn’t have had Chen Ma stay and listen here.

The long legs clad in black suit trousers moved forward briskly as he walked inside, where a servant immediately brought him a glass of boiled water.

Lu Jingchen took a sip after receiving it, his gaze turning towards the second floor. After finishing the water and passing the glass back to the servant, he eventually decided to head upstairs.

However, when Lu Jingchen opened the bedroom door, he stood frowning at the entrance, scanning around the room. Not finding Song Qiao’s figure, his expression darkened.

Initially, he thought that Song Qiao may have gone to the study, but when he opened the door to the study, she was nowhere to be found as well. But Chen Ma said she had gone up to sleep earlier, and she should not have left the villa. If she had, a servant would’ve noticed. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Suddenly he remembered the previous incident when she had gone to sleep in the guest room. After standing at the door of the study for a few seconds, Lu Jingchen then walked towards the guest room where Song Qiao had slept before.

As expected, when he opened the door of the guest room, he saw the woman lying in the bed within the blankets.

The night falls late in An City, and as it was only five o’clock, it was still very bright outside, standing out there even felt a bit sunny.

The curtains of the guest room were not drawn, and due to the initial designs for better visuals in the room, the bed in this guest room was placed near the window. So now, Song Qiao lying on the bed was exactly in the sunlight shining on her face.

Lu Jingchen directly entered and stood by the bed, looking down at her delicate little face, the woman’s sleeping appearance was very peaceful, and her features were very beautiful.

On countless mornings, each time he woke up, the first thing he saw was this delicate little face. He didn’t know when it started, but he had become accustomed to seeing her sleeping face first when he awoke.

From childhood to adulthood, or precisely since he could remember, he started feeling uncomfortable sharing a bed with anyone else, even males. He felt that sleeping on a bed alone was very comfortable.

Once, Gu Xicheng stayed at his villa and insisted on squeezing onto the same bed with him, claiming that since they were such good brothers, there would be nothing wrong with sleeping together and it would even enhance their brotherhood.

Lu Jingchen didn’t argue at the time, but when it came to sleep at night, Gu Xicheng slept very soundly while he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. Eventually, in the middle of the night, he directly kicked Gu Xicheng out of bed.

Song Qiao was awakened by an unusual feeling at her lips.

When she felt comfortingly asleep, it seemed like her lips were blocked by something, and then she struggled to breathe. Before she even opened her eyes, she subconsciously raised her hand to slap, but before her hand could fall, it was immediately restrained above her head.

Suddenly, the woman who was still very sleepy opened her eyes at once, and when she saw the man kneeling by the bed, kissing her, her little face instantly sank, looking very displeased, and she bit down hard.

Lu Jingchen only felt a surge of pain at the edge of his lips, his half-closed eyes opening to see Song Qiao was already awake. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the next second he firmly clasped the back of Song Qiao’s head, deepening the kiss.

When Lu Jingchen let go of Song Qiao, her entire face was flushed from the kiss, as she tried to catch her breath.

Lu Jingchen looked down at Song Qiao’s chest that heaved from breathing, letting out two low chuckles from deep within his throat; his voice was low and hoarse, "Qiaoqiao, did you bite me again? Do you remember what I told you before?"

Song Qiao was startled, and the memory of her biting Lu Jingchen before naturally surfaced in her mind. He had said if she dared to bite him again, for every bite there would be one extra round of love-making, and her little face turned extremely red in an instant.

After a long while, her voice rose with a warm anger, "Who let you kiss me while I was sleeping; of course, I’m going to bite you."

This man is really annoying, always threatening her—and even though he’s obviously at fault, why does it always seem as if she’s the one who has done something wrong?

Moreso, he likes to disturb her sleep. Every time, he wakes her up in ways that are far from normal, always using kisses, and specifically French kisses.

And the key point is, he can even kiss her in the morning without brushing his teeth, which is rather excessive.

Lu Jingchen, watching Song Qiao attempting to get up, placed both hands on either side of her, prohibiting her movement; his eyes now tinted with desire, voice husky, "Who made you so captivating."
