After ushering the two guests in, Yu Ting headed straight to the bedroom without looking back.
With a click, she closed the door behind her, wishing she didn’t have to come out again if possible.
She quickly went to the bathroom mirror and took a few looks at her reflection.
Lu Nanchen, who is clueless about removing makeup, did not bother to do so. Last night’s makeup, untouched for a whole night, was still partially present, with smeared eyeliner, and patchy concealer. Her lipstick too had come off.
Her appearance was far from appealing and even horrifying.
Moreover, Lu Nanchen’s house did not even have makeup, makeup remover, or clean women’s clothes for her to change into.
Yu Ting: ...
Standing in front of the mirror in agony for a while, she ultimately decided to put on the overcoat she had worn the previous night from among his old-fashioned men’s jackets and coats.
...
Song Yue and Zuo Fugui were sitting on the sofa, exchanging bewildered glances. Lu Nanchen, seated nearby, poured two glasses of water for them and asked in a disciplined tone, "What brings you two here so suddenly?"
"I was looking for my younger brother, and happened to pass by your place, so I decided to visit." Song Yue explained briefly, "I have no idea what he’s up to lately, he’s starting a business again. He didn’t answer my calls last night, so I came in person."
"I really don’t know what to do with him, he even started a business without a penny."
"Oh, he’s starting the business with my wife," Lu Nanchen added casually, his deep gaze fixed on Song Yue.
Surprised, Song Yue spilled the water he was drinking.
"He didn’t give a penny? Spent all her money?"
Song Yue: ....
Heh, investing tens of millions in a business on a wife’s salary which is less than ten thousand a month is really something.
Sitting here, Song Yue truly felt like a sheep led into the wolves’ den.
Pins and needles.
Zuo Fugui had been excited since earlier and when he saw the conversation between Lu Nanchen and Song Yue paused, he quickly chimed in, "Your wife is very beautiful, why didn’t you introduce her to us? You made us come and see her ourselves."
At his words, Lu Nanchen lowered his eyes and touched his knuckles.
"There hasn’t been a chance."
After chatting for a while, noticing that it was getting late, Lu Nanchen headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch, rolled up his sleeves after taking off his coat, began washing and cutting vegetables, his face serious.
Click.
The bedroom door reopened and Yu Ting, looking dull and bare-faced, stepped out. She greeted Zuo Fugui and Song Yue with a smile and then headed into the kitchen to assist Lu Nanchen as usual.
However, he stopped her.
"Don’t touch cold water after the fever."
Lu Nanchen paused his work to say this, his expression as usual. The mark left by a bite close to his protruded adam’s apple and the spot on his lips where the skin had broken made him look more appealing than usual due to the bleeding.
Lu Nanchen’s lips were always attractive.
Yu Ting stood by, gazing at him.
There was no imagined warmth or intimacy, she felt calm even though he had kissed and bit her. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Thinking about it, Yu Ting’s face clouded and she felt a bit frustrated.
What a man!
...
Ding.
In a concealed location, Lu Nanchen’s mobile phone, kept inside his coat pocket, vibrated slightly.
The message displayed was from: 183xxxxxxx
