Chapter 40 The wrong time



After Lu Jinghuai returned to the room, Zhang Guodong didn't stay in the room for long before he took his wife back to the room.

The hall darkened.

It was only around eight o'clock, and Lin Yan couldn't sleep at all, so she just lay on her side and played with her phone.

Lu Jinghuai was half leaning against the head of the bed, handling work on his mobile phone. Tomorrow was Monday, and Lu Jinghuai probably wouldn't be able to go back for a while, as the company's work needed to be explained and arranged.

The guest room in Zhang Guodong's house should be usually unoccupied. Lin Yan felt particularly uncomfortable with the ordinary wooden bed and thin bedding. She couldn't help but turn over and face Lu Jinghuai.

Lu Jinghuai seemed to notice her movements and looked down at her, asking, "What's wrong?"

"No... the wooden bed is uncomfortable to sleep on."

Lu Jinghuai said "hmm" and looked away. Lin Yan also felt a little awkward and was about to turn around and go back.

Suddenly there was a noise from the next room, like something colliding...

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment and didn't react, then there was the sound of the wooden bed creaking.

In an instant, Lin Yan understood the source of the voice. Suddenly, Lin Yan's face was full of embarrassment. She subconsciously glanced at Lu Jinghuai beside her, but her eyes met Lu Jinghuai's.

Lin Yan quickly averted her gaze as if she had been electrocuted and dared not look any further.

Zhang Guodong and his wife were sleeping next door, so it wasn't surprising that they were asleep so late at night.

But does Zhang Guodong know that the sound insulation in his home is so poor?

Lin Yan fell silent, but the creaking sound from next door became louder and louder, and there seemed to be a man's low moaning.

There was a long silence between Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai in the guest room. Lin Yan was still pretending to play with her mobile phone, but the little man on the screen died again and again.

[Someone please help me! How long will Zhang Guodong take? This is so embarrassing.]

If nothing had happened between me and Lu Jinghuai, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. It's all because of Lu Jinghuai and his white moonlight. That night on the cruise ship... I was so embarrassed.

[Speaking of which, our relationship is quite strange. We are husband and wife but not really husband and wife, yet we unexpectedly become husband and wife.]

The noise from next door never stopped, and the weather in July and August was very hot.

Lin Yan felt her body getting hot and uncomfortable. After a round of game ended, Lin Yan was not in the mood to play anymore, so she turned over and said something hurriedly.

"I slept well, goodnight!"

Lin Yan seemed to be able to feel the burning heat of the man behind her.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What should I do if I can’t sleep? 】

At this moment, Lu Jinghuai rubbed his eyebrows helplessly while listening to the voices from next door and the sharp screams in Lin Yan's head beside him.

He tried hard to ignore the strange noises and intended to finish reading the file sent from his phone, but he just couldn't get through it.

More than ten minutes passed and he hadn't turned a single page of the document. He simply put down his phone and rubbed his brows.

There was a squeaking sound from next door, but fortunately Zhang Guodong was not as strong as Lu Jinghuai, and the sound stopped after half an hour.

【It’s finally over. I’m frozen.】

Lin Yan turned over pretending to be calm, but her eyes were still closed, pretending to be asleep.

However, her mind was exceptionally clear. The weather in July and August was already hot, and after listening to this live-action drama, Lin Yan really felt like she couldn't calm down.

However, Lin Yan suddenly seemed to catch something, her thoughts paused, and her eyes suddenly opened and blinked.

Wait, it’s July!

[According to the plot development, Lu Jinghuai and Song Jingya should have found Lu Yingqian in October, when Lu Yingqian was in Daliang Village.]

[I was wondering why something was wrong. It turns out the timing is wrong. But it's only been two or three months. How could Lu Yingqian have moved from Xiaoliang Village to Daliang Village?]

Lin Yan had a bad feeling in her head, and Lu Jinghuai suddenly fell silent.

He clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to ask Lin Yan for more details and let her think about whether there was any other information, but he couldn't.

The room remained silent.

However, Lin Yan did not sleep well that night. Maybe it was because she suddenly thought of important information, or because the bed was too hard, or because of the noise next door before she went to bed last night.

When Lin Yan woke up the next day, she was still sleepy and couldn't help yawning.

Zhang Guodong saw that the two men were still smiling and teased Lu Jinghuai: "Young people should be more restrained."

Lin Yan's expression was a little strange. They didn't sleep well all night because of Zhang Guodong's actions next door, but Zhang Guodong seemed to be in good spirits.

In response to Zhang Guodong's teasing, Lu Jinghuai responded with a natural "hmm".

Breakfast was sweet potato porridge, which was cooked by a woman. I don’t know what time she got up to cook it. When Lin Yan got up, it was a little after six o’clock, and the sweet potato porridge was already on the table.

Not long after, Song Jingya also came over with the bodyguards, followed by a stranger, who should be the neighbor next door, a tall and fat man.

The first thing the neighbor did after entering the yard was glance at Lin Yan. His gaze was exactly the same as the one Zhang Guodong had when he first saw her, clearly an expression of scrutinizing the goods.

Lin Yan frowned uncomfortably.

Zhang Guodong introduced each other to his neighbor and Lu Jinghuai with a smile.

The neighbor is called Zhang Guoming, and he and Zhang Guodong are brothers from the same clan.

Zhang Guodong brought Zhang Guoming into the room, and no one knew what they were talking about. He left the woman outside to entertain them.

Lu Jinghuai didn't bother to investigate and didn't seem to notice anything was wrong between the two of them.

After a while, the two men came out and sat at the table drinking sweet potato porridge, while the woman went to the kitchen.

Lin Yan couldn't help but glance at Zhang Guodong and asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to have dinner with us?"

Zhang Guodong curled his lips in disdain: "Why would a woman like her sit at the table? She should just eat in the kitchen."

Lin Yan, who was also a woman, couldn't help but frown, but when she saw the expressionless faces of the people at the table, she silently swallowed back all the complaints in her heart.

The main reason was that this was someone else's territory, and she was afraid that she would be beaten if she expressed her dissatisfaction. She couldn't beat them, so although she didn't say anything, she kept complaining in her heart.

[Fuck, women can't sit at the table. Your mother is a woman, right? You were born by a woman, right? What era is this still sexist? Bah, no mother's stuff.]

Lu Jinghuai glanced at Lin Yan from the other side, then looked away and said, "Stop talking. You're cursing quite dirty."
