Chapter 29 What if there is?
Li Qingqing stood at the entrance for a full ten seconds before finally mustering up the courage to speak.
"Are you...waiting for me?"
Lu Yan was wearing a black silk pajamas, with his legs crossed and his long arms resting on the back of the sofa. His handsome face was looking at her quietly, which made her feel creepy.
"Why are you back so late?"
The man spoke. His expression remained calm, but his voice was chilling, like the calm before the storm.
Li Qingqing's heart trembled violently, and a layer of sweat appeared on her palms. She swallowed and stammered unconsciously, "Go... go to the hospital to see... see my brother."
Lu Yan stared at her face coldly, his tone still cold, "Are you alone?"
As soon as she asked this question, Li Qingqing instantly understood that his terrifying aura tonight was because he suspected that she was not the only one who went to the hospital.
Li Qingqing paused, hesitating whether to tell him the truth. Although Mu Xingyi accompanied her to see Xie Ze, it was ultimately just a leader caring about his subordinates, and she had nothing to feel guilty about.
But she was afraid that after she said it, Lu Yan would go crazy for no reason again. She really couldn't understand this man's temper.
But if she didn't tell him and he found out that she was lying to him, the consequences would probably be even worse for her.
Li Qingqing hesitated for a few seconds, but finally told the truth.
"No, I went with my master... No, I went with Doctor Mu."
After saying this, Li Qingqing thought for a moment and added, "Doctor Mu just went to express his sympathy and concern for the health of the employees' families. He didn't mean anything else..."
After saying this, Li Qingqing bit her lip and squinted her eyes to secretly observe his expression. Lu Yan still maintained his original posture, but his expression seemed to have eased a little.
"You're smart." The man said coldly.
"Huh..." Li Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yan lowered his arms from the back of the sofa, crossed them across his chest, and warned her coldly, "Li Qingqing, you know I hate being lied to the most. If I find out you've lied to me, you know the consequences."
Lie to him?
Li Qingqing suddenly remembered that she had lied to him this morning about having her period in order to avoid his pestering.
He instantly became panicked again, but pretended to be calm on the surface and said, "Of course... I wouldn't dare lie to you."
As Li Qingqing gave in, she secretly looked at Lu Yan's expression and found that he didn't seem as angry as before, and his expression was much more relaxed. So she boldly asked, "But...how did you know I didn't go to the hospital alone?"
Thinking of what Lu Yan had just said, Li Qingqing knew that Lu Yan probably knew who she was with outside. The reason why he deliberately asked this was because he wanted to know if she had lied to him. This was what he cared about.
Thinking that Xie Ze's caregiver was arranged by Lu Yan, Li Qingqing knew that the caregiver had probably already told Lu Yan about her and Mu Xingyi going to the hospital together. She knew Lu Yan was very concerned about her being close to other men, but she didn't expect this man to stare at her so closely, as if he had some kind of cuckold fetish.
But she still asked, pretending not to know.
The expression on Lu Yan's face changed from cold to complacent. He raised his eyebrows and curled his lips and said, "Just know that you are my woman now. Do what you should do, and you don't have to worry about other things."
Lu Yan put down his crossed legs, leaned forward, and looked at her steadily, "Li Qingqing, follow me well, I won't treat you unfairly."
This sentence sounds like both a temptation and a warning.
Li Qingqing nodded obediently. She was still standing at the entrance at this time. Seeing that Lu Yan didn't seem to have anything to ask, she bent down to change into slippers and walked towards her room.
As she passed the living room, she said weakly, "That's nothing, I'll go back to my room."
Lu Yan called her and said in a neutral voice, "Come and eat first."
Li Qingqing looked towards the kitchen and found that the dining table was already filled with delicious food.
She swallowed and stopped.
To be honest, she had been hungry for a long time. She had originally planned to go back to her room and secretly order takeout, but she didn't expect Lu Yan to have already prepared dinner.
"Did you make all these?" Li Qingqing asked casually as she looked at the delicious dishes on the table with shining eyes.
"Of course I ordered it. I'm busy at the company all day, and I have to cook a table of dinner for you when I come back? Who is the financial backer between us?" Lu Yan was speechless.
Li Qingqing shut up a little embarrassedly.
Walking to the dining table, Li Qingqing found that in addition to some regular dishes beautifully presented on the table, there were also cordyceps and black chicken soup, fish maw and pork tripe, red dates and white fungus porridge, and other dishes that were obviously good for women's physical health.
She looked up at Lu Yan and instantly understood his intention. Although this man was usually domineering and cold, he was sometimes quite humane.
Li Qingqing pulled out a chair and sat down. She suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had not eaten dinner yet so late.
Judging from the fact that he was wearing pajamas, he had obviously returned a long time ago. Was he waiting for her?
Li Qingqing tilted her head to look at him, her eyes filled with hope, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, "Are you waiting for me to come back to eat together?"
Lu Yan poured himself a bowl of soup and looked at her coldly.
"I just don't like eating alone."
Li Qingqing: "..."
This damn arrogant guy.
…
After eating a bowl of red date and white fungus porridge, Li Qingqing instantly felt her stomach become warm and her whole body relaxed.
Looking at the nutritious meal on the table, Li Qingqing suddenly remembered the two packets of Chinese medicine for replenishing qi and blood that Lu Yan asked Mu Xingyi for this morning.
She glanced at Lu Yan and found that he was eating quietly. She wondered if he was still angry about her coming back too late today.
"Um...can I ask you a question?" Li Qingqing said with difficulty.
Lu Yan raised his eyes to look at her and said coldly: "Speak."
Li Qingqing put down her chopsticks, straightened her body, and said seriously, "Do you have other women besides me?"
Lu Yan stopped picking up the food in mid-air, as if he was surprised by her question.
He put down his chopsticks, looked at her with a playful look, and asked in a teasing tone, "What if there is?"
