On the phone, Li Anran said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Ah Shen, are you done with your work? The maid has taken leave, and I'm all alone in the house. I'm so scared. Can you come back and keep me company?"

"I have something to do. I'll call you when I'm done."

Lu Shen hung up the phone and stepped on the gas.

Jian Ruoxi had already run quite far.

To avoid Lu Shen doing anything rash, she dared not go to Su Ziyu for dinner again. Right now, she just wanted to find a secluded place to hide and ask Lu Jin what to do later.

At that moment, a few drunk thugs were bragging outside a bar not far away. When they saw Jian Ruoxi wearing a pink dress, they were immediately drawn to her.

"Tsk tsk, this girl is not bad."

"It's definitely hot."

"It looks somewhat familiar."

A thug with blond hair staggered toward Jian Ruoxi.

"Hey beautiful, how about coming in for a drink with us?"

He reached out and put his arm around Jian Ruoxi's shoulder, his greasy hand making her feel nauseous.

"I don't know you."

She pushed the blond-haired man aside and continued walking forward, but was stopped by two other thugs.

"Practice makes perfect, we'll get to know each other after having a few drinks."

A thug with tattooed arms grabbed Jian Ruoxi's waist and said with a lewd grin, "This body is pretty hot."

After saying that, he was about to kiss Jian Ruoxi.

Jian Ruoxi screamed in fright, but then the thug let out a muffled groan and released her.

She looked up in surprise and immediately saw Lu Shen, whose face was ashen.

The thug was so drunk that he had no idea who the man in front of him was.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got up, cursing.

"You fucking dare to tell me what to do? Do you have a death wish?"

The other two also charged at him, throwing punches in turn.

Lu Shen sneered. This kind of trash dares to challenge him?

He kicked one person away, then punched another, slamming him to the ground.

Seeing that his two companions had been taken down, the remaining one's eyes hardened, and he pulled out a dagger and turned to Jian Ruoxi.

Seeing the flash of cold light, Lu Shen's expression changed instantly. He pulled Jian Ruoxi behind him, grabbed the blade, and kicked the thug into the bar.

Seeing that things were going badly, the other two immediately ran away in different directions.

Jian Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked down, she was startled to see that Lu Shen's hands were covered in blood.

"Lu Shen, you're bleeding."

She hurriedly opened her bag and took out a tissue.

Seeing the tissues quickly soaked with blood, Jian Ruoxi's face turned pale.

"Lu Shen, let's go to the hospital quickly."

Lu Shen frowned and said, "No need, we have a first-aid kit at home."

It would be troublesome if the old lady found out.

Jian Ruoxi said in a trembling voice, "But... I can't drive."

Lu Shen clutched a tissue. "Go hail a taxi."

Twenty minutes later, Jian Ruoxi returned to the home she had lived in for several years.

Lu Shen took off his shoes and sat barefoot on the sofa.

He said calmly, "The first-aid kit is in the study on the second floor."

Jian Ruoxi quickly ran upstairs to the second floor and brought down the first-aid kit.

She shakily opened the disinfectant, washed Lu Shen's hands, applied hemostatic medicine, and then carefully wrapped them with gauze.

Lu Shen lowered his head and squinted at Jian Ruoxi.

Looking at her focused expression, a strange emotion welled up inside me...

Jian Ruoxi had finished wrapping the food. She looked up and met Lu Shen's dark eyes. Feeling a little flustered, she quickly asked, "I...did I hurt you?"

Lu Shen looked away.

"No, you bandaged it very well."

Jian Ruoxi was at a loss for words, and the atmosphere became quiet and oppressive.

Finally, Jian Ruoxi spoke first.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Lu Shen raised an eyebrow.

Do you have a place to stay?

Jian Ruoxi shrugged and said with a smile, "I have money, I can open a hotel."

Lu Shen frowned as he glanced at her bodycon dress.

It must be admitted that Jian Ruoxi has a great figure; the well-fitting short skirt accentuates her curves and her long legs.

The pink dress had a hazy, dreamy feel to it, and paired with her lightly made-up face, she looked inexplicably sweet, like a cake inviting someone to taste it.

This kind of beauty is undoubtedly very dangerous in the eyes of men.

"It's inconvenient for a girl like you to go out so late. You can stay here tonight."

Jian Ruoxi quickly shook her head: "No need."

She turned to walk outside, but Lu Shen grabbed her wrist.

"Jian Ruoxi, if you want to leave, wait until tomorrow. Don't worry, now that we're divorced, I won't touch you again."

After Lu Shen finished speaking, he went upstairs.

Looking at his tall figure, Jian Ruoxi felt a bitter taste in her throat.

In the past, she would also gaze at Lu Shen's back like this, even though he wasn't enthusiastic, but at least back then he was still her husband.

Now……

Recalling the photo of him embracing Li Anran with such tenderness, Jian Ruoxi felt as if her heart had been stabbed, and blood began to flow freely.

She wanted to ignore Lu Shen's words and leave immediately, but when she thought about how his hands had been cut several times while saving her, she couldn't bear it.

No matter what, he saved her.

After hesitating for a moment, Jian Ruoxi changed into slippers and went upstairs.

"Mr. Lu, would you like to take a bath? I'll run the water for you."
