Chapter 451: Chapter 449: The Joy of a Short Parting Is Sweeter Than That of a New Marriage (Chapters 446-449 Combined)_2
"I didn’t see it." She continued to pretend.
"Oh? You didn’t see it?"
Lu Jinyang’s deep black eyes narrowed dangerously. He clearly remembered putting his boxer shorts on top. They should be visible as soon as the suitcase was opened, and now she was telling him she didn’t see them?
He curved his lips into a smile, tossed aside the trousers, and lay down on the bed directly.
"Aren’t you looking for clothes?"
"I’m not comfortable going commando. If you don’t get them for me, then I simply won’t wear any."
What a statement about not being comfortable going commando!
Zhuang Shuqing couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and lay back down. The bed was clearly only so big, yet there seemed to be enough space for two more people between them.
She wasn’t sure how long it had been when Zhuang Shuqing, in a drowsy haze, felt a large hand caressing her waist. She woke up instantly, grabbing the restless hand.
"If you’re not going to sleep, then what are you doing?"
"You."
"..."
Zhuang Shuqing was extremely tired. She got up too early in the morning and had planned to sleep the entire afternoon at home. In just a couple of days, Da Bao and Xiao Bao would start school, and she needed to wake up early to prepare breakfast and take them to school.
So she grabbed the man’s hand and, still half-asleep, drifted off again.
Zhuang Shuqing was awakened by kisses, feeling tickles on her face and neck, she waved her hand to smack it off. Not having controlled her strength, a crisp sound echoed in the room, startling her awake from her sleep.
She opened her eyes to meet a pair of pitch-black, well-defined and smooth peach blossom-shaped eyes—her favorite.
However, at this moment, the owner of those peach blossom eyes was looking at her with a sinister expression.
Zhuang Shuqing swallowed hard, "Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose."
"I know you didn’t mean it, but you still have to apologize."
"How should I apologize?" she asked instinctively.
"Like this..."
...
...
After everything was over, Zhuang Shuqing, slightly out of breath, stared at the ceiling and recalled Qin Huaixin’s words in the restroom, "Zhuang Shuqing, you were the one who went after Lu Jinyang first."
Thinking back to Qin Huaixin’s expression at the time, Zhuang Shuqing thought, with Lu Jinyang’s wolfish nature, how could she possibly have done that kind of thing?
Suddenly thinking of an issue, Zhuang Shuqing reluctantly turned towards Lu Jinyang, who was lying beside her.
"Lu Jinyang, I met Qin Huaixin today. Do you know her?"
"Mhm, what did she say?"
"She said... she said she’s my best friend."
"She didn’t lie to you."
Zhuang Shuqing rolled her eyes at him, "That’s not what I mean. I mean, from her words, I sense a problem," she paused, then said, "I feel that her gaze was filled with guilt when she looked at me."
Lu Jinyang was somewhat surprised. He thought that after she’d met Qin Huaixin, she would be aware of the car accident she had five years ago, but it seemed she was completely clueless about it.
He didn’t speak.
Zhuang Shuqing asked again, "You know, don’t you?"
"What difference does it make if I know or if I don’t?"
"If you know, then tell me. Otherwise, she won’t say, you won’t say, and that Mr. Leng won’t say either. Wouldn’t I be the only one in the dark?"
Lu Jinyang nodded seriously, as if it mattered, "Indeed."
She was elated, "Then tell me."
"It’s not that I can’t tell, but..." The man’s eyes twinkled mischievously, "How about twice tonight?"
"You!"
Zhuang Shuqing looked at him expectantly, only to be met with such words, leaving her both angry and frustrated, "Is there nothing else in your mind besides these things?"
He actually nodded earnestly, "There are Da Bao and Xiao Bao, and money."
Zhuang Shuqing was silent.
They say the bed is not the place to negotiate with a man, and she felt that firsthand.
But on second thought, whether she wanted it or not, he was going to have his way. Now, to exchange that for a condition, didn’t seem like such a bad deal?
So she said, "Once." One less time is still one time.
"Three times."
"Two times, two times, just two!"
"Deal!"
The man revealed a victorious smile, shaking Xiao Qing’s gaze.
Fuck, I’ve been had!
She ground her teeth, "Lu Jinyang, I will definitely avenge this humiliation!"
"I’ll wait."
She gave him a punch, a punch with no lethality to him, and he caught her hand with a low chuckle, "Stop messing around, do you want to hear what I have to say?"
Only then did Xiao Qing quiet down, staying calmly in his embrace.
"Five years ago, Qin Huaixin was abducted by Leng Yixing’s father. After we successfully rescued her, you and I were in a car accident."
Xiao Qing looked at him in surprise, "We were in a car accident together, you went blind, and I died?"
Lu Jinyang stared at her with annoyance, "You’re the first person I’ve seen cursing themselves."
"What else am I supposed to say?" she sighed. If it wasn’t for Xiao Anze asking her to come here to develop, they would never have crossed paths, and in their minds, she would indeed be a "dead person."
"That’s incorrect. Why did Leng Yixing’s father abduct Qin Huaixin? And why did we get into a car accident?"
Hearing this, the man affectionately pinched her nose, "All of these things are in the past, no need to bring them up again."
"No, if you don’t clarify things for me, I’m going to sleep with the little treasure tonight!"
"..."
Lu Jinyang had no choice but to explain the entire incident from that year in detail to her. He swore, this was definitely the most he had ever spoken in one breath in his lifetime.
Finally, he said, "You won’t escape tonight’s two times."
After waiting a while, the woman didn’t retort, which was out of the norm. He looked down to see her frowning in thought.
Xiao Qing was silently laughing at the fact that for the first time, someone told her in such detail about her life before her memory loss. Suddenly, she realized something was wrong and furrowed her brows tightly.
"Why do I feel there was something fishy about that car accident?"
Lu Jinyang smiled ambiguously, not expecting her to be so sharp despite her amnesia. Indeed, the car accident was man-made, and he bided his time for five years just to wait for an opportunity to make the perpetrator pay a lifetime’s price from which they could never recover!
Just as he was about to say something, a knock at the door startled Xiao Qing. She looked towards the doorknob—she seemed to have forgotten to lock the door!
The next second, the sound of the door opening came. Reacting quickly, she covered herself and Lu Jinyang with the blanket, then lay down and closed her eyes.
Lu Jinyang watched her do all this silently, and seeing her feigning sleep as Ran Ran, he slowly looked towards the opened door.
Little Treasure poked his head in, whispering, "Mommy?"
"Little Treasure."
"Wow, it’s Daddy! Daddy, you’re finally back!"
As he spoke, Little Treasure had already run to the bed, eager to climb up and play with Lu Jinyang.
Lu Jinyang made a quieting gesture to him, saying, "Mommy’s asleep, let’s not wake her."
Little Treasure tiptoed to take a look and indeed saw Mommy sleeping with her eyes closed, not even noticing his entrance.
He also lowered his voice like Lu Jinyang and said, "Daddy, you sleep too, I’ll go play with Big Bro~"
After Little Treasure left the room, the "sleeping" Xiao Qing suddenly sat up, crawled over to lock the door, and then wrapped in clothes, walked into the bathroom.
It seems I need to talk to Big Treasure and Little Treasure about manners.
...
That night, to avoid fulfilling the promise, Xiao Qing dragged her time in the next room until eleven o’clock before returning to her room, by which time Big Treasure and Little Treasure had been asleep for two hours.
As soon as she entered the room, Lu Jinyang looked at her with a look that was partly amused, making her feel extremely guilty.
"Let’s... go to wash and sleep."
"I’ve cleaned up and have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Jinyang patted the spot on the bed beside him, "You can’t escape."
Xiao Qing let out a wail and under the certain someone’s coercion, slowly climbed up...
Thus, on this one night, Lu Jinyang gave her a taste of the sweetness of a reunion after a long separation!
After being tossed around in countless positions, Xiao Qing fell asleep crying, in utter misery...
