Chapter 73 Support

Commander Lu?

Lu Qiaoxiao was stunned by his special address. She looked up and saw the man's deep and clear eyes looking at her with a smile.

Shen Yuheng's voice was as clear as usual, but the volume seemed to be deliberately raised.

"Madam, would you like to go home?" This time Shen Yuheng leaned over and whispered, so that only she could hear his voice.

His lips brushed against her earlobe, making her feel numb.

Lu Qiaoxiao's face was burning hot and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Everyone around widened their eyes. They all knew that Shen Yuheng was from a noble family, was a genius, was always arrogant, and was a god-like figure like the moon in the sky.

When he called this person Commander Lu just now, it was undoubtedly an affirmation of Lu Qiaoxiao's ability.

Even Prime Minister Shen acknowledged the title of Commander Lu of the Patrol Defense Division. How could these warriors, who were not even ninth-rank officials, dare not respectfully address Lu Qiaoxiao as the Commander?

What's more, this seemingly weak woman has already proved her ability with a gun.

"Prime Minister Shen, I'm sorry to bother you. I didn't know you were coming and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you." Boss Gu hesitated for a long time, but finally stepped forward.

The patrol department sent a young woman as the commander, and none of them, a bunch of rough men, would be convinced, even if this person was the wife of Prime Minister Shen.

But he never expected that Commander Lu was so tough, and Prime Minister Chen even came to him in person. Isn't it obvious that he wanted to support his wife?

If Boss Gu still can't understand, then all these years of being a small leader will have been in vain.

Shen Yuheng raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "No, I am just a family member of Commander Lu. I am here to take Commander Lu home."

"If I had informed you in advance that I was coming here, wouldn't that have interfered with your daily duties?"

Sweat dripped down Boss Gu's forehead. He swallowed hard and said in a calm voice, "No, no, no, Commander Lu's talent has been witnessed by us today. We are so happy that you are willing to come here to guide us."

Shen Yuheng glanced at him, remained silent for a while, then suddenly took a few steps forward and whispered something in Boss Gu's ear.

Boss Gu's eyes showed a hint of fear and his face was stiff.

But if you look closely, you'll find that his ears are red.

The two of them left the patrol office under the attention of everyone. As soon as Chen Xiang and Commander Lu walked out of the patrol office, a group of people immediately came up and surrounded Boss Gu.

"Boss, what did Prime Minister Shen say just now? Why do you look so pale?"

"Is it because of the heat? Why is your face as red as a boiled crab?"

Everyone was talking at once, which made Boss Gu's heart beat to pieces.

His head was buzzing, and the words Shen Yuheng had just whispered in his ear echoed in his mind:

"My wife is weak and has just entered the official career. I hope Master Gu will bear with me and give me more guidance."

weak?

How is she weak?

Boss Gu was in a headache because Shen Yuheng was entrusting Commander Lu to him, the insignificant military advisor.

If anything happens to Commander Lu in the future, or if he has trouble in his official career, he believes that Shen Yuheng will be the first to come and take action against him.

Boss Gu, sulking with anger, looked at the crowd of people with clear yet foolish eyes around him and shouted, "What are you asking? Wasn't the beating you received from Commander Lu bad enough today? Practice more, everyone!"

"Commander Lu is a heroine among women. If you are of your level, you will only be embarrassed in front of her!"

——

After getting on the carriage, Lu Qiaoxiao had just sat down when his hand was pulled away with great force.

The man's palm was slightly cool, blending with her fiery temperature, dense and warm.

From time to time, she glanced at the man beside her. His eyes stayed on the palm of her hand, and his slender fingertips stroked her fingertips from time to time, and then brushed across the thin calluses on her metacarpal bones.

"Ah Heng." Lu Qiaoxiao whispered, "Itchy..."

Somehow, the strength with which he squeezed her palm became lighter and lighter, like a special massage technique.

Shen Yuheng was originally looking at the red mark on her palm.

Her skin was naturally delicate, and even though years of bow pulling had left a thin layer of calluses, except for the metacarpal bones, the rest of her skin was pink and tender.

Suddenly, he heard her soft moan in his ears, and Shen Yuheng felt his body tense up. He fixed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him dimly.

Her eyes were sparkling, her skin was rosy and fair, like a ripe peach, and sweat was dripping down her smooth forehead.

The water stains rubbed against her plump lips.

Shen Yuheng's eyes dimmed.

What's that smell? he wondered.

He had seen her looking so heroic in the arena just now, and now she was leaning against him, her eyes, which had been as cold as ice a moment before, now contained a hint of coquettish anger.

Shen Yuheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he unconsciously raised his hand to pinch her chin.

Lu Qiaoxiao heard the increasingly heavy breathing of the person in front of him, and saw his face suddenly approaching -

"This is a carriage." She subconsciously widened her eyes and supported her head with her hands, "and I'm wet." There was some embarrassment in her voice. She looked away, avoiding the man's burning gaze.

After they got married, every day when he was at home, it was like this. At nightfall, the palm wind would extinguish the flickering candlelight in the house.

As soon as the curtains fell, he would make the couch creak and force her to call him husband over and over again.

I'm really afraid that he will do something weird in this swaying carriage.

Shen Yuheng chuckled softly, consciously keeping a distance from her, lifted the curtain of the side window to look out, and grabbed her hand, squeezing and pinching it.

The twenty-minute drive felt incredibly long to Lu Qiaoxiao.

Shen Yuheng's face was calm, his eyes were cold as ice, but he held her hand and stroked it repeatedly, and from time to time he glanced at her lightly, which made her very nervous.

"We're here, we're here." Lu Qiaoxiao finally felt the sedan chair land. She withdrew her hand with a sense of relief and got out of the car with a pounding heart.

Rushed straight into the mansion.

Bai Zhi saw a black figure flash by, and when she saw the back clearly, she realized it was her young lady.

She was wondering why the young lady was running so fast when she saw Shen Yuheng leisurely walking in from outside the yard.

There was a hint of a smile in his eyes, as if he was in a good mood.

"Son-in-law." Bai Zhi called Shen Yuheng son-in-law, not master or head of the family.

Just like she usually calls Lu Qiaoxiao Miss, even after she got married, she is still her Miss.

"Where is the madam?" Shen Yuheng raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly.

"It's time to take a shower." Bai Zhi answered honestly. The young lady must have just returned from her shift. She had been in a hurry all the way and her hair was stained with sweat.

Bai Zhi looked at Shen Yuheng's back as he walked towards the bathroom, and doubts flashed through her mind.

Hey, didn’t the son-in-law come back with the young lady?

What's so urgent that we have to talk about it now and can't wait even a moment?

——

Lu Qiao Xiaomu was in the bucket, the steam rising up, all his pores opened up, and he felt extremely comfortable.

After soaking for a while, she stood up, wrapped herself in a towel, and carefully walked out of the tub.

"Who?" She had just taken a few steps when she heard the door creak.

It’s open.

"Baizhi?" Lu Qiaoxiao asked tentatively while hiding behind the screen.

I guess there would be no one else coming here when she was taking a bath.
