BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191: It’s Her
Lu Lingche felt that she was not being honest, she obviously liked it too.
He ignored her plea and began to kiss her again.
He hadn’t touched her in a while, and he couldn’t stop at this moment. It wouldn’t help if she cried or hit him.
After some time, the frenzied heat finally subsided, rationality returned and the small bedroom regained its tranquility.
Lu Lingche got up and was about to go to the bathroom when Qiao Yin on the bed asked, “Are you going to see Lan Yuyi again?”
Lu Lingche turned around emotionless, picked her up horizontally.
Qiao Yin hugged her arms in a state of panic: “What are you doing?”
“Taking you to shower.”
“I don’t need that, put me down!”
Lu Lingche as if hadn’t heard her, and directly took her to the bathroom.
The night was long.
The moonlight slowly faded from bright to dim, not until the first ray of sunlight appeared in the east did it disappear.
Qiao Yin didn’t know when she fell asleep in Lu Lingche’s arms. She was too tired to even scold him and soon drifted into a deep sleep.
Lu Lingche used one arm as a pillow for her—she used to like that—and wrapped his other arm around her waist before falling asleep himself.
When he woke up again, it was eight in the morning.
He had slept for only three hours.
But, this was the best sleep he had gotten in the last few days.
Because he didn’t have any nightmares today.
Ever since Qiao Yin was kidnapped, every time he slept, he dreamed of her being killed.
Every time the scene became more real, her death became more brutal, his palpitations became more severe, and his sleep got worse each time.
Not having a nightmare this time, Lu Lingche felt somewhat relieved.
The antidote is indeed her.
The sunlight streamed in through the window and fell on her face.
She was sleeping soundly. Gone was the icy coldness that kept him at arm’s length. Curled up like a soft kitten, she looked especially fragile.
Her skin was delicate and fragile, her complexion red and healthy, even her scattered long hair was soft and shiny. It was evident that she had been well-cared for since she was young.
He pulled her thin quilt to look at her, saw the marks all over her body, then calmly covered her back up.
Before, if he was too harsh on her, he would secretly apply medicine on her while she was asleep to make the marks disappear faster.
Now, he suddenly didn’t want these marks to disappear.
He got up and off the bed. After a simple hygiene routine, he left.
His assistant was already waiting outside. Seeing him come out, he immediately said, “President Lu, your clothes are ready.”
Lu Lingche got in the car, and while changing his clothes, he asked, “Has the trending topic been suppressed?”
“It has been suppressed, but there are still negative comments emerging, the PR team is still dealing with it.”
The assistant glanced at him in the rearview mirror and handed him a white porcelain jar: “President Lu, your mouth… and neck…”
Lu Lingche took the porcelain jar, scooped out a bit of ointment, and applied it on his mouth and neck.
The ointment was something he had his assistant get from Officer Li. This kind of good stuff shouldn’t fall into others’ hands, of course, it’s safer in his possession.
The ointment quickly took effect, giving a cool sensation, soothing and pain-relieving.
The medicine in the white porcelain jar was milder, and so it didn’t have the side effects of the blue jar medicine. It felt very comfortable applied on.
After he applied the ointment, Lu Lingche called Lu Yanxi.
Lu Yanxi was clearly still asleep, her voice groggy: “Second Brother?”
“I’m calling in sick for Qiao Yin, she might not make it to work in the morning, she’ll come in the afternoon.”
“Oh, ah?”
Lu Yanxi snapped out of her grogginess, but, all she heard from the phone was a busy tone—Lu Lingche had hung up.
She was instantly peeved!
When will Second Brother stop being so self-centered! Did he not worry that she hadn’t fully heard him in her groggy state? Couldn’t he have explained a bit
more?
