She had beads of sweat on her forehead, but the lobby was air-conditioned and the temperature was quite comfortable, so she shouldn't be sweating from the heat.
Besides, she was only wearing this dress, not a cotton-padded coat.
"Speak up, what's wrong?"
Xu Rubao really didn't want to move anymore, so she could only lean on Lu Jingheng for support. "The shoes don't fit, it hurts so much..."
"Idiot... you wear clothes that don't fit."
Lu Jingheng cursed at her and then took her away from the dance floor.
At this moment, Xia Zimo, who had been standing to the side, watched helplessly as Lu Jingheng protected Xu Rubao like a mother hen, and she was so angry that her face almost turned green.
I couldn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it: Lu Jingheng's feelings for Xu Rubao are truly different.
Especially now, despite being considered ugly, the birthmark on her face has somehow disappeared.
She was so angry that she wanted to leave, but then she overheard Madam Lu talking to someone, seemingly investigating Xu Rubao's affairs.
Another girl came with Xu Rubao today, and she's dancing with Lu Mingyu right now.
Yao Xiuhui didn't expect that Mingyu would actually ask one of the two girls to dance.
Therefore, she became even more anxious and determined to find out their identities as soon as possible.
Xia Zimo raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Madam Lu wouldn't like them either, which was just as good.
Outside, Lu Jingheng led her to the garden and sat her down on the flower bed.
He squatted down, picked up her foot, glanced at it, and immediately frowned.
Xu Rubao felt that their current posture was really inappropriate. This was the Lu family residence, and if someone saw them, they might be misunderstood.
"Mr. Lu, please don't be like this, I...I'm fine."
Lu Jingheng didn't waste any words with her. He simply took off her shoes and threw them aside.
"Who gave you permission to wear shoes like that?"
"This...isn't this to match this outfit? I don't usually wear high heels, so I'm not used to them, that's why I'm wearing them like this."
Lu Jingheng felt inexplicably angry at the thought that she had injured her foot like this just to attend Mingyu's birthday party.
"Are you a pig? Don't you want your legs anymore?"
These shoes are chafed and bleeding, and they're uncomfortable. Doesn't she know to change her shoes?
"I...I didn't mean it, why are you being so mean?"
Xu Rubao felt a little wronged; when she first put it on, she seemed to be able to walk.
But who knew that the more I wore it, the more painful it became.
"Stay here and behave yourself. If you dare to leave before I get back, you're dead."
Lu Jingheng warned her fiercely, "You idiot, dressed like this, you'll find countless men staring at you the moment you walk in."
"oh……"
Xu Rubao nodded silently, thinking that she didn't want to go back to be tortured wearing those shoes. Anyway, she had already eaten, so it wouldn't matter if she didn't go in.
After a while, Lu Jingheng returned with a pair of slippers in his hand. "Wear these for now."
Xu Rubao took the shoes. Although they were a bit big, they were much better than those high heels.
She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her feet were finally saved.
Lu Jingheng looked at her with his brows furrowed.
Xu Rubao put on the slippers and noticed that Lu Jingheng's expression had become even more unpleasant. She had only lent him a pair of slippers; surely it shouldn't be like this?
"Mr. Lu, are you in a bad mood?"
"Xu Rubao, do you like Mingyu?"
