Chapter 104 I've noticed your self-control has improved a lot.
"hug."
Lu Jinyuan had no reason to refuse. He first pulled her up and sat in her seat, then pulled her into his lap and pressed his cheek against hers.
"Bad mood."
"Hmm," Jiang Qingying said coldly, "I'm furious."
Lu Jinyuan said firmly, "Because of Nan Chun's matter."
Jiang Qingying: "Sigh, mainly because I feel... there's nothing I can do for her except stay by her side."
In this situation, any action Jiang Qingying takes could very well change Nan Chun's life. Even though the two grew up together, she cannot easily decide Nan Chun's fate.
How the story unfolds is up to the protagonist.
She waited a long time but didn't hear a response from Lu Jinyuan, so she looked at him and asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lu Jinyuan's lips were tightly pressed together, and his eyes were unreadable as he looked at her. "I'm not involved, so I can't offer my opinion."
"Then aren't you going to comfort me?"
"I'm thinking about it." Lu Jinyuan hugged her tighter, a helpless smile playing on his lips. "You know I'm not good at this."
Jiang Qingying pouted, "Why are you so expressionless today?"
Lu Jinyuan was briefly taken aback, then chuckled lightly, "Sorry, I've been in meetings all day, so my mind isn't quite clear."
Jiang Qingying carefully observed his expression and saw that he did indeed look tired. "I'll forgive you for now."
"Thank you, honey."
After speaking, Lu Jinyuan leaned over and kissed her, starting with a light, fleeting kiss on her cheek, before deepening the kiss and sinking into the passion between them.
Jiang Qingying enjoyed his deep kiss, and her hands began to wander. She unbuttoned his shirt and reached inside to mess with him, but was soon caught by the person kissing her with his eyes closed.
She gave him a resentful look.
Lu Jinyuan's voice was hoarse and dry. He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the dark fire in his eyes had dimmed somewhat.
"I haven't had dinner yet."
Jiang Qingying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she almost bit her tongue. "Sorry, I was a little too hasty."
Then she helped him straighten his open shirt, but didn't forget to tease him: "I've noticed that your self-control has improved a lot. Aren't you suffering from holding back?"
The same thing happened in Yaocheng last time. Jiang Qingying teased him for a long time, but he remained rational. Even when he was about to explode, he still used other methods to relieve his frustration before truly satisfying her.
"It hurts." Lu Jinyuan's face darkened, and he looked slightly aggrieved as he placed his warm palm on her stomach. "There's nothing I can do. It's because she's here."
Jiang Qingying: "......"
She was feeling awkward and trying to find a subtle way to change the subject when she heard his deep voice echoing in her ears.
"Otherwise, you would definitely be crying by now."
"......"
His voice was soft and breathy, so she could blatantly pretend to be deaf.
Lu Jinyuan persisted, "Actually, I had already thought it all out in my head just now."
"...What are you thinking about?" Jiang Qingying asked hesitantly, but she couldn't resist her curiosity.
Lu Jinyuan bent his index finger and tapped it on the brown wooden table. The loud tapping sound seemed to strike Jiang Qingying's heart.
He said, "I'll have you lie on this desk, and then..."
He deliberately left things blank, so that Jiang Qingying could have room for imagination.
Jiang Qingying was the kind of person who had eaten too much meat, so her mind quickly filled in the blanks, and she boldly challenged him: "Do you dare?"
"I wouldn't dare now," Lu Jinyuan sneered, "but I'll save it for later."
Jiang Qingying scoffed, "Tch—"
-
The next evening, Lin Tingwan stormed into her house, followed by Song Mingxu, who was always worried about her.
The three girls chatted in the bedroom, while Lu Jinyuan and Song Mingxu each occupied one side of the door frame. After waiting for a while, the two men exchanged a helpless glance.
Lu Jinyuan chuckled lightly, "Want a couple of drinks?"
Song Mingxu nodded casually, glanced at Lin Tingwan one last time, and then turned to leave.
In the bedroom, Lin Tingwan held Nan Chun's face in her hands, looking at her left and right, checking her over and over again to make sure she was alright.
Nan Chun broke free from her hands and rubbed her cheeks. "Why are you looking at me like I'm a monkey?"
"..." Lin Tingwan pouted, "I was just worried about you."
Nan Chun remained calm, saying, "It's nothing, and you don't need to ask me what I want to do. Right now, I just want to find a quiet place to be an ostrich for a few days."
Lin Tingwan fell silent.
Jiang Qingying was very generous. She stretched out her slender white arm and put her arm around Nan Chun. "You can stay at my house. Lu Jinyuan and I go to work during the day. It's very quiet at home. If you're hungry, Aunt Mei can cook you something delicious."
Nan Chun tentatively asked, "I really won't bother you, will I?"
"No way, why would you ask that?" Jiang Qingying frowned, realizing a possibility. "Are you afraid of Lu Jinyuan?"
"A little." Nan Chun hesitated. Just thinking about Lu Jinyuan's serious and indifferent face made her feel timid from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Tingwan raised her hand and said softly, "Me too. As soon as I walked in and saw President Lu, I instantly felt like winter had arrived."
Jiang Qingying thought for a moment and agreed, "His stinky face really deserves a slap."
Nan Chun said succinctly, "That's not what I meant."
Jiang Qingying shrugged. "Just ignore him. Treat him like he's invisible. I'm the boss at home."
Lin Tingwan glanced at Nan Chun several times, but Nan Chun couldn't help but ask directly, "You want to ask Liang Qiqi?"
"Mmm-hmm." Lin Tingwan nodded vigorously. "He still doesn't know?"
Nan Chun said casually, "I did it on purpose. The news hasn't reached him yet, but I guess it won't stay hidden for long."
Seeing that she wasn't as upset as she had been yesterday when Liang Qiqi was mentioned, and even seemed to be joking about it, Jiang Qingying dared to say, "Actually, I didn't expect you to like him so much. I thought..."
"What did you think?" Nan Chun asked.
"I thought you were just bored and wanted to find a man to have some fun with."
As expected, Jiang Qingying is bold and straightforward in her speech.
Lin Tingwan couldn't help but chuckle, "Aren't you saying that Nan Chun has the qualities of a scumbag woman?"
Nan Chun felt a wave of exasperation, but she still admitted, "At first, I did want to play with his feelings." She sighed and said wistfully, "Who knows?"
After a two-second silence, Nan Chun retorted, "Aren't you the same?"
Jiang Qingying pointed to herself, "What's wrong with me?"
Nan Chun squinted, "You and President Lu, didn't you initially promise it would be a business marriage? And now?" She touched Jiang Qingying's protruding belly, "Only half a year, and the baby is already out."
"I've been honest from the beginning." Jiang Qingying blinked, pretending to be harmless. "I like him, but none of you believe me. Nan Chun, you're half-believing, and Wanwan, you don't believe me at all. What can I do?"
"Tch—" Lin Tingwan complained, "The way you were trying to fool people back then, no one would believe you, okay?"
Nan Chun's hand was resting on Jiang Qingying's stomach when she suddenly felt a light scratch on her palm. The itchy sensation was strange, and she was so startled that she almost jumped up.
"Holy crap, why is she moving?"
Jiang Qingying was speechless. She gritted her teeth and swallowed the words "Are you stupid?" back down her throat.
Curious, Lin Tingwan placed her hand on Jiang Qingying's belly. After a while, the little one inside really moved. She was amazed by the strange feeling and exclaimed, "Wow! It really moves!"
Jiang Qingying could no longer tolerate it. She glanced at the two of them as if they were idiots, giving them a warning.
"She's alive! It's scarier when she's still!"
