Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Give Me the Sleeping Robe First? (Chapters 425, 426, 427 Combined)
She didn’t know how he did it, but the man’s delicate face suddenly drew close, his sculpted features magnified many times in Xiao Qing’s eyes. Before she could react, his slender fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to look up into his deep eyes.
"Xiao Qing, if I find out that you’ve been with other men during these five years, I wouldn’t mind..."
Xiao Qing’s heart trembled. Big brother, could you not pause there? I’ll think you’re about to kill me.
But what he said was, "I wouldn’t mind... cutting off those men. Wherever they touched you with, I’ll have it chopped off... If their bodies touched you... I will have them torn to pieces!"
Hearing such bloody and violent words, Xiao Qing instinctively shrank her neck, but couldn’t move due to him gripping her chin.
She felt the pain and mumbled unclearly, "Let me go, let go of me first..."
"I didn’t..."
Xiao Qing felt like crying.
What on earth did she find attractive about this man in the past? Why can’t he ever talk to her properly now? As soon as something doesn’t go his way, he resorts to force on her.
His slightly calloused large hand rested on her back, the burning heat endlessly transferring from his palm to her body, forcing her to remain stiff, daring not to move.
"Qingqing, come back to me," he said in a low voice.
Xiao Qing didn’t speak, but inwardly she yelled: If you didn’t act every time like you’re about to devour me when we’re alone, I might consider it.
Yet, she didn’t dare to voice it out.
"Unwilling?"
At some point, the man’s large hand slowly moved from her back, traveling up to just above her waist, and she shuddered uncontrollably.
"It’s not unwillingness, just that I need time to accept this."
"What else don’t you understand? Ask me, hmm?"
There’s a saying that some people are hopelessly stupid. Xiao Qing had been skeptical in the past, but now she wholeheartedly believed in this assertion.
"You... you can’t treat me like this, we’re not married yet..."
No sooner had she spoken than she was suddenly lifted off the ground. Xiao Qing, frightened, wrapped her arms around Lu Jinyang’s neck, "What are you going to do?"
"If I don’t treat you like this, how would we have children?"
Exquisite clothes fell to the floor, two silhouettes plunged together onto the large bed. The weight of his body pressed upon Xiao Qing almost suffocated her, but she was helpless.
Just as she braced herself for his onslaught, the man suddenly stopped and stared at her, scanning her body up and down repeatedly.
At this moment, Xiao Qing felt like she was a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Suddenly, he laughed softly, "Truly beautiful, even more so than in my dreams."
Xiao Qing thought that she must be blushing from her face down to her toes. Imagine being admired by a man like this, unable to resist, how embarrassing it must be.
In the corridor
Tan Biyang finally knocked on the door, which was opened by a burly man, Tan Biyang’s so-called "fat pig": Li Weonian.
At the moment, he was awkwardly wearing a pair of pants, the belt not yet fastened.
Seeing his appearance, Tan Biyang felt a surge of nausea.
Li Weonian, annoyed at being interrupted, would not have finished so quickly if it weren’t for the persistent knocking at the door.
"Who is it, ruining the mood... ah, Tan... Miss Tan Biyang..."
When Tan Biyang saw his face change instantly, she pushed past him in disgust and walked inside. Li Weonian murmured trouble to himself and immediately followed her in.
In the room, Ning Qian was lying on the bed, her clothes torn and hanging scantily off her body. Seeing Tan Biyang arrive, she immediately burst into tears.
Tan Biyang’s brows knitted tightly, "What on earth happened?"
Before Ning Qian could speak, Li Weonian started explaining, "The thing is..."
Tan Biyang slapped him with the back of her hand, "Did I ask you?!"
Li Weonian, feeling guilty, simply covered his face and stood aside, saying nothing.
Finally, Ning Qian cried enough and glaring fiercely at Li Weonian, she pointed at him and said, "This scum, I was waiting here with him for someone to come over, but, but... suddenly he pushed me down, wu wu wu~"
Tan Biyang probably guessed what was happening inside after hearing the noises, but now that Ning Qian had put it this way, she was directly infuriated.
Not for the sake of Li Weonian, nor for Ning Qian, but because these two had ruined her plan, preventing it from proceeding as intended.
She quietly glanced at Li Weonian, and then at Ning Qian, and finally said, "Li Weonian, I’ll give you a chance to make amends."
Li Weonian was afraid that Tan Biyang and Ning Qian would never contact him again. If that happened, he wouldn’t be able to sleep with top-notch women anymore. Facing his slovenly wife at home, he couldn’t even muster interest anymore.
"You say it, you say it, I will definitely do it."
A crafty triumphant smile flickered in Tan Biyang’s eyes. She leaned to Li Weonian’s ear and whispered a few words, then instructed solemnly, "You must handle this well, otherwise you can forget about staying in City B."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely handle it well."
Li Weonian put on his clothes and rushed out in a flurry. Before leaving, he turned to take a glance at Ning Qian on the bed, but it was just a glance.
As soon as Li Weonian left, Ning Qian stopped crying, because Tan Biyang had whispered a sentence in her ear.
"Really?" Ning Qian’s eyes lit up; if it was true...
"Really! I’m now sending Li Weonian to call people over. If anything happens, it won’t be related to the two of us."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qian’s resentment seemed to calm down a bit.
Being with Li Weonian is just that, it’s not the first time anyways. On the other hand, for Xiao Qing—if a scandal breaks out at this time, her career in Empire’s entertainment industry would suffer a huge setback.
Thinking that Xiao Qing would fall into their trap, Ning Qian’s eyes were filled with excitement, even neglecting the state of her own clothes.
Tan Biyang swept a glance over her and said, "I’ll go downstairs and find some clothes for you. Remember, no matter what happens outside, you can’t go out. If you expose yourself, I won’t be able to help you."
Ning Qian nodded seriously.

In another room, the inside returned to calmness.
"You... beast!" She gritted her teeth.
The man leisurely pulled her into his embrace, his large hand caressing her sporadically, "Still have the energy to curse at people?"
Xiao Qing: "..."
No one spoke.
Just when Xiao Qing thought that Lu Jinyang had fallen asleep, the man suddenly spoke, "Five years ago, when my mother heard the news of your death, she was already preparing our wedding. She couldn’t accept the truth and fell ill."
Xiao Qing was incredibly surprised at heart, that Mrs. Lu?
"But now..."
The man took up the conversation, "It’s only in these two years that she has gotten better." He suddenly looked down at her.
"Some time ago, when I was still blind, she was truly happy for the few days after bringing Xiao Bao home..."
Xiao Qing quietly listened to him speak, thinking it was not every day that such a high and mighty man would chat about family matters with her.
Just like the past few days, he was busy, never having said a word to her.
He spoke for who knows how long before he paused, "Go take a shower, hmm?"
She rolled her eyes, "I don’t have clothes to change into."
Lu Jinyang chuckled, "Go shower, I’ll have someone bring clothes over."
Xiao Qing then picked up his bathrobe, slipped it on inside the blankets, and walked toward the bathroom...
Lu Jinyang made a phone call to Gu Chen. Although Gu Chen was not sure what had happened, he had a rough idea and had someone send two sets of clothes in the size given by Lu Jinyang.
He personally delivered them upstairs.
Hearing the knock at the door, Xiao Qing had just come out of the bathroom and saw the man sitting on the bed shirtless looking at her.
"Why don’t you go open the door?" she asked.
The man gave her a glance, "How about giving me the bathrobe first?"
