Chapter 44: The bowl of pumpkin porridge was eaten by the dog?

When their eyes met, Li Qingqing subconsciously dodged. Although she had convinced herself yesterday to accept the current situation, facing Mu Xingyi seemed to drag her into the vortex of cruel truth again.

His presence constantly reminded her that she was a shameless woman who was kept by someone else. Li Qingqing lowered her head silently and dared not look at him.

Lu Yan glanced at her sideways and sneered, "Doctor Mu and his friends are coming over for dinner?"

Mu Xingyi slowly withdrew his gaze from Li Qingqing and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "No, I came here alone."

Li Qingqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She remembered he had told her that he didn't like eating alone. For some reason, Li Qingqing suddenly felt guilty...

She secretly looked up at him and found that he seemed to have more beard than usual, and his eyes and entire face were red, as if he had drunk a lot of alcohol.

Suddenly, those red eyes met hers. Li Qingqing didn't have time to dodge. He saw the apology and guilt in her eyes. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she didn't know how to start.

Mu Xingyi looked at her, laughed self-deprecatingly, and then took the initiative to greet her, "Qingqing, you don't recognize me after just one day? We are master and disciple after all, and you just leave me aside like this?"

His words sounded like a reproach, but also like a joking comfort.

Li Qingqing hurriedly explained: "No, Master... Doctor Mu... I didn't ignore you, I just feel a little sorry for you..."

For some reason, Li Qingqing's eyes suddenly felt sore. She tried her best to suppress her emotions and then added, "Are you... okay?"

When Mu Xingyi heard Li Qingqing's caring words, his voice became even hoarseer and choked up, "I..."

Mu Xingyi was interrupted by Lu Yan before he could finish his words. "Sorry, we are in a hurry to eat, so we won't catch up with Dr. Mu."

As he said that, he pulled Li Qingqing and strode towards the reserved box.

Li Qingqing was dragged by him, stumbling behind him. When they passed Mu Xingyi, their eyes met, and Li Qingqing clearly saw a thin layer of tears in his eyes...

She quickly turned her head away, not daring to continue looking into those sad, red eyes. She felt her heart aching slightly.

Avoiding Mu Xingyi's sight, her emotions finally came out. Tears streamed down her cheeks and were wiped away silently by her. She silently comforted herself in her heart that they could still be friends in the future...

Lu Yan took her quickly into the box and quickly closed the door. Then he pressed her against the door and kissed her hard without saying anything.

“Hmm—”

His kiss was heavy and quick, and clearly filled with anger. His thin lips almost crushed hers, and her lips and teeth pressed against each other. Li Qingqing couldn't help but frown in pain.

“What are you doing!?”

Li Qingqing reacted and pushed him away.

Lu Yan raised his head and stared at her, and found that there were still tears in her eyes.

There was a clear hint of resistance in her voice, as if she was very dissatisfied with his sudden kiss.

They had done it once in the car before coming to Linglong Pavilion, but now he just kissed her, and she was so repulsed.

Lu Yan's big hands pinched her soft waist and pressed her firmly against the door panel. His pair of black eyes, as deep as a pool, seemed to want to pin her to the door panel.

"What? You're so stubborn now that you see Mu Xingyi? Didn't you enjoy it when I tried to please you this afternoon? Why are you so stubborn now all of a sudden?

"You..." Li Qingqing gritted her teeth and stared at him in disbelief, her little face flushed red.

Thinking of what he had done to her in his office that afternoon, Li Qingqing felt like her whole body was about to boil.

The man's hot breath sprayed on her face, making her feel embarrassed.

"Let me go!" Li Qingqing continued to push him, her voice trembling and choked.

Seeing her expression that seemed like she was about to cry, Lu Yan finally softened his heart.

Forget it, there's plenty of time to deal with her after dinner.

He let go of her and pushed her towards the dining table. "Go eat first, I'll be back soon."

Then he walked out of the box with his long legs and went to the bathroom to cool down.

Li Qingqing looked at his back as he left and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had a change of heart and let her go, otherwise she might have fainted while they were doing it. She was so hungry that she was almost suffering from hypoglycemia.

Fortunately, the appetizers in their private room had already been served. Li Qingqing didn't care about anything else. She first picked up a small bowl of pumpkin porridge on the table to fill her stomach.

Then she started eating on her own. After taking two bites, she suddenly remembered that it was a bit rude to start eating without waiting for Lu Yan. After all, it was his treat today.

After thinking for a while, she picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, then put down her chopsticks, pretending that she hadn't started eating yet, and sat quietly in the chair waiting for Lu Yan to come back.

After a while, Lu Yan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Li Qingqing sitting there stupidly, as if waiting for him, Lu Yan walked over, pulled out a chair next to her and sat down.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first?"

Li Qingqing: "Isn't it impolite for me to eat alone first?"

Lu Yan looked at the empty bowl of pumpkin porridge in front of her and sneered, "Did a dog eat that bowl of pumpkin porridge?"

Li Qingqing then realized that she had been so busy cleaning up the mess she had made that she had completely forgotten that she had a bowl of pumpkin porridge in front of her that she had already finished drinking it. Li Qingqing was instantly embarrassed and wanted to crawl under the table.

She rubbed the small bowl of pumpkin porridge with both hands, pouting, looking aggrieved, "I'm just hungry."

If it weren't for that pervert Lu Yan insisting on having sex with her in the car, they wouldn't have wasted time going back to take a shower. If they hadn't gone back to take a shower, they wouldn't have met Mu Xingyi at this time. If they hadn't met Mu Xingyi, his jealousy wouldn't have been aroused, and he wouldn't have pressed her against the door and kissed her forcefully. If he hadn't kissed her forcefully, he wouldn't have gone to the bathroom to relieve himself. If he hadn't relieved himself, she would have eaten long ago!

So, all of this is Lu Yan's fault!!

Li Qingqing was thinking secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it at all.

Lu Yan felt itchy because of her soft and cute appearance, but he didn't want to bully her anymore.

"You're hungry, why don't you eat quickly?" Lu Yan said unhappily.

…

After a while, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room and brought today's main dishes to the table one by one.

Li Qingqing was surprised. "Why are there so many dishes? We can't finish them all, right?"

Lu Yan: "Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly. You've been hungry all day, eat more to replenish your energy."

Li Qingqing: “…”

How come this man keeps talking about this kind of thing?

…

Halfway through the dinner, Lu Yan suddenly remembered what Xie Ze had said to him in the hospital today.

He looked at Li Qingqing quietly, a trace of heartache in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he finally asked.

"Did your stepfather do anything to you?"
