Chapter 489 Speak Politely
After hearing what Lu Chao said, Qiao Jingru subconsciously looked towards Lu Xiang.
Lu Chao: “…”
His own wife didn't agree with him immediately but turned to look at Lu Xiang?
Why do I feel like my family status is not secure?
Lu Xiang lowered her eyes in deep thought, her delicate little face, as beautiful as a poem or a painting, was filled with a cold frost.
After a while, she looked up at Qiao Jingru and said, "Sister-in-law, don't destroy it yet. I have other uses for it."
Lu Chao gasped when he heard this and stared at Lu Xiang as if he had seen a ghost: "What do you want this for?"
Qiao Jingru pursed her lips and looked at Lu Xiang in the same confusion.
Lu Xiang: "Send it to Xiao Muheng. Liu Anyao spent so much effort to get this thing, so we can't let her work go to waste."
This was really like someone handing her a pillow when she was dozing off. Liu Anyao had given her such an opportunity, and if she didn't make good use of it, she would be letting herself down.
Husband and wife are one body, there is no reason why Xiao Muheng could live alone after Liu Anyao died.
"If Xiao Muheng becomes addicted to drugs, the fact that he took Wu Shi San will probably be discovered. What if they trace it back to you?" Qiao Jingru said, frowning uneasily.
Lu Xiang thought about it and shook his head, "No, even if we have to investigate after the incident, we will first investigate the source of the Five Stones Powder. This thing was obtained by Liu Anyao. As long as it is found on her, Prime Minister Liu will definitely not let it go, unless he wants to die with the Lu family. From what we know about him now, it is impossible for a man who can easily sacrifice his daughter to ignore the overall situation."
What's more, the only one who knew that the Wu Shi Powder was taken away by her was Liu Anhui. If she went to report herself, not to mention whether people would believe her, she would not be able to escape the blame first. Anyone with a little bit of brains would never do such a stupid thing that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt oneself by eight hundred.
After hearing this, Qiao Jingru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the case doesn't lead to Lu Xiang, she won't care about anyone else.
"Okay, I'll get the things back tomorrow morning. If you need my help, just let me know." Qiao Jingru said.
Lu Xiang smiled and nodded.
…
After dinner, Lu Chao and the other two left.
When Lu Xiang returned to the room, she suddenly smelled a faint scent of alcohol in the air. Her beautiful eyes fixed, and she walked behind the screen. Sure enough, she saw Chu Jinyan lying on the soft couch with his clothes slightly open and his forehead supported by one hand.
The man seemed to notice her gaze and raised his eyes as deep as the sea. His cold and arrogant expression suddenly turned into a pool of spring water, almost drowning her in it.
"Why are you here?"
As soon as Lu Xiang finished speaking, Chu Jinyan's beautiful eyes showed a deep sense of grievance: "You despise me."
"I don't have any."
Chu Jinyan: "It was in the tone of my words just now."
Lu Xiang touched his forehead weakly and walked towards Chu Jinyan: "I am just surprised. Didn't I ask Sheng Xian to bring the zither over in the evening? Also, Your Highness, can you please stop breaking into my room at night? If the people in the mansion knew about this, there would be a big uproar."
Even if she doesn't care about her own reputation in this new life, she can't ignore the reputation of other people in the mansion.
Although the grandmother knew that she and Chu Jinyan were in love and did not try to stop them, if she knew that this guy often ran into her room in the middle of the night, wouldn't she be scared to death?
Chu Jinyan squinted at Lu Xiang, his handsome face full of accusations: "Am I so shameful?"
Lu Xiang: "..." Whichever word she said was shameful to him.
"Are you drunk?"
Chu Jinyan snorted proudly: "I'm not drunk."
Lu Xiang: “…”
I'd be foolish to believe you.
With a sigh, she walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and brought it to Chu Jinyan: "You've had too much to drink, why don't you go back home and sleep?"
Chu Jinyan stood up, took it, took a sip, and then waved to Lu Xiang: "Come here."
Lu Xiang walked towards him as he said: "What's wrong?"
As soon as she stood in front of him, Chu Jinyan suddenly reached out and pulled her to sit on his lap.
Lu Xiang was startled and subconsciously tried to stand up, but Chu Jinyan tightened his arms around her waist and held her tightly in his arms.
"Chu Jinyan..." Lu Xiang blushed immediately and shouted angrily.
However, this tone of voice, which was filled with anger and shame, did not have any killing power. Instead, it brought even greater strength to Chu Jinyan's hands. He wished he could pull Lu Xiangrou into his own bones and blood.
"You are mine."
His chin rested on Lu Xiang's shoulder, and his warm breath with a hint of charming intoxication sprayed on Lu Xiang's skin, bringing a burning sensation that made Lu Xiang shiver.
"Let go first and talk properly."
"I won't." Chu Jinyan snorted, "Du Yuheng isn't as good-looking as me, nor as powerful as me, and certainly doesn't love you as much as I do. You are not allowed to look at him, talk to him, or like him."
When Lu Xiang heard this, a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry suddenly appeared on her stunned face, and at the same time, a hint of tenderness was rippling between her brows. Listening to Chu Jinyan say that he loved her, Lu Xiang's chest was filled with indescribable emotion and happiness.
At the same time, I finally understood why he behaved so strangely. Du Yuheng only sent the music score over, but this man was almost drowning himself in jealousy.
"I don't like Du Yuheng, I only like you." Lu Xiang softened her body, leaned lightly against Chu Jinyan's chest, and murmured softly.
Chu Jinyan was startled, and then a look of ecstasy surged in his dark eyes: "Xiangxiang, say it again."
"I don't like Du Yuheng."
"No, the latter part."
Lu Xiang turned her head away shyly, with a look of resistance on her face.
Chu Jinyan held her cheeks with both hands, forcing her to look directly at him. Lu Xiang could clearly see her own reflection in Chu Jinyan's dark and charming eyes. The gentle look made Lu Xiang feel intoxicated even though she had not drunk any alcohol.
"I want to listen." Chu Jinyan's deep voice was seductive.
Lu Xiang felt her ears burning hot. It was the first time she discovered that a man as cold and aloof as an iceberg could be so annoying when he acted like a spoiled child.
After a while, she whispered, "I only like you."
"Say it again."
Lu Xiang: "I only like you!"
Chu Jinyan: "I want to listen more."
Lu Xiang glared at him lightly: "That's enough."
Finally, Chu Jinyan decisively stopped before angering his wife, with a satisfied smile on his face.
And someone who was flattered asked Lu Xiang to take away the music score sent by Du Yuheng before leaving...
Humph, other men’s things must not be placed next to his wife.
Not even a hair's worth of paint.
