Chapter 186 Outwardly Strong but Inwardly Weak
After waiting for a while, Xia Yu still hadn't given a reply.
Assistant An looked at his boss. He rarely saw Xia Yu lost in thought. This man certainly had a genius-like acumen in business, but in his private life, he handled things like a dog...
cough!
Assistant An silently suppressed his inner complaints, but he couldn't help asking, "What exactly is the purpose of President Xia's trip this time?"
Indeed, they do have some business in this remote area, but it's not enough to warrant Xia Yu's personal involvement.
On the contrary, news has recently come out that actress Wen is coming to this place to film some kind of charity movie.
Xia Yu looked out the window. The moon was bright and the stars were few. The train tracks stretched to the horizon, and by the moonlight, he could vaguely see the grassland outside. If it were daytime, he believed the scenery outside would be even more vast and beautiful.
He said, "I want an answer."
Assistant An originally wanted to ask what if the answer wasn't what you were hoping for, but after seeing Xia Yu's unusually silent expression, he decided not to ask.
Although they were capitalist and employee, after working together for many years, even though Assistant An had been complaining about this boss in his heart for so long, he had developed some affection for him.
He still hoped that Xia Yu could achieve the fulfillment she desired.
After all, older people don't like to see regrets.
Fortunately, not everyone in this world has to experience a bumpy road in love.
In the warmly lit room, the blush-inducing noise subsided, and it was already eight o'clock.
Lu Jin gently stroked the girl's smooth back, sliding down her cleft cleavage. He asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Zhen lay on top of him with her eyes closed, not wanting to move a single finger. She lazily said, "I was thinking about how you hurt me earlier."
Lu Jin's hand froze, and fear and unease appeared on his cold and hard face. "I'm sorry, Zhenzhen, I... I just couldn't control myself."
That's for sure. She created such a scenario to provoke him. It would be a miracle if a young and vigorous person could proceed gradually under the rapid secretion of hormones and adrenaline.
Xia Zhen sighed.
Lu Jin hurriedly asked, "Does it still hurt? I'll go buy some medicine."
Xia Zhen opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were devoid of any emotion, truly showing no desire or want, as if she had seen through the world. "I think it would be nice to have a cigarette right now."
Lu Jin: "..."
Xia Zhen does enjoy excitement, but what happened just now was too exciting. She looked up, her face still flushed, her eyes fixed on the boy's handsome face. She said seriously, "Lu Jin, I think I probably won't want to touch you for a long time."
Lu Jin: "...How long?"
She thought hard for a moment and gave an answer, "Ten minutes at most."
Lu Jin's tense body relaxed. He raised a hand and pressed her head back onto his chest, then pulled the shirt covering her. His voice was calm, "Not even ten minutes."
Xia Zhen proudly raised her face, "Lu Jin, you're finished, you can't get enough of me!"
Lu Jin's lips twitched slightly. Not wanting her to be too proud, he wanted to deny it, but the words caught in his throat, and in the end, he could only helplessly say, "Yes, I can't get enough of you."
Xia Zhen sat up excitedly, "Today is a good day, Lu Jin, I want to eat two more carrots!"
Lu Jin tried to restrain himself from looking too much at the girl's attractive appearance, which she was intentionally or unintentionally revealing, but he couldn't control himself.
Xia Zhen raised her head high and smiled wickedly, "Man, are you satisfied with what you see? You started this fire, so you have to put it out yourself."
Lu Jin: "..."
He sat up on the sofa and stiffly draped his shirt over her shoulders.
She immediately grumbled in dissatisfaction, "So unromantic."
Because the battle was sudden, her skirt was taken away from the battlefield too late and was now dirty and unwearable, so she could only wear his clothes.
He carefully buttoned her clothes. Such a simple thing made him nervous, and his breathing became heavier. He whispered, "I'll go cook."
He was originally going to cook, but she dragged him into a tantrum, and the vegetables that had been washed in the kitchen hadn't even been chopped yet.
Xia Zhen asked with concern, "Is my uncle really alright?"
She rubbed against him, and his passion, which had not yet completely faded, began to return.
Lu Jin closed his eyes, lowered his head to kiss her, and even bit her deliberately. He warned her, "Don't cause any more trouble. My self-control is very poor right now."
Xia Zhen took pity on him and let him go.
Lu Jin grabbed a T-shirt and put it on, then brought her a change of clothes and delivered them to the bathroom door.
When Xia Zhen took the clothes, she even opened the door and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to shower with me?"
Lu Jin closed the door expressionlessly. "I'm busy."
While Xia Zhen was taking a bath, he cooked in the kitchen. He had always been very quick to learn when it came to survival.
When Xia Zhen used to cook for him, he said that he would take care of these things. He wasn't lying. He always knew that he wanted Xia Zhen to be with him forever, not for her to lower her quality of life to be with him.
She used to live the life of a pampered young lady who didn't have to worry about anything, so her life should continue to be like that.
However, Miss Xia is not the type to keep her word.
She stared at the carrots in the bowl, her chopsticks motionless, as if she had been put on pause and was detached from reality.
She was the one who accompanied Lu Jin to buy the carrots, and she was also the one who said she wanted to eat a couple more carrots.
Lu Jin: "Zhenzhen."
Xia Zhen blinked pitifully, "I don't want to eat."
Lu Jin was heartless. "You said you should eat two more carrots."
She retorted confidently, "That was what I said before, what does it have to do with me now?"
As she spoke, she leaned closer to him, and in his presence, she became increasingly uncouth in her sitting and standing postures.
But he turned slightly to the side, avoiding her touch, and said, "Don't touch me for ten minutes."
Xia Zhen was displeased, "You said you couldn't go ten minutes without touching me!"
He ate his meal calmly, saying, "What do the things I said before have to do with who I am now?"
It turns out that you have to use magic to defeat magic.
Xia Zhen sat up straight angrily, closed her eyes, and shoved both pieces of carrot in her bowl into her mouth. When she opened her eyes again, there was a piece of meat in her bowl.
The people around her moved closer, making it easy for her to press herself against him.
Okay, she decided to forgive him.
Xia Zhen laughed at him again, completely oblivious to his feelings.
Lu Jin's heart suddenly softened, and he asked softly, "How long will Uncle Xia's business trip last?"
Xia Zhen: "I don't know. He didn't tell me. I only know that he went to some grassland. I heard that the altitude there is very high. I don't know if he can handle it."
Lu Jin said, "Uncle Xia seems to be in very good health."
Xia Zhen shook her head. "He's been sitting in an office all these years and never exercises. He's all bark and no bite!"
Lu Jin thought about it and felt it made sense.
If Xia Yu were in good physical condition, then Lu Qi would have been the one using crutches back then.
Yes, why wasn't it Lu Qi using crutches back then? What a pity.
The Lu family.
Lu Qi sneezed again, and he smiled at the woman lying on the bed, saying, "Ruoruo, someone is thinking of me. Do you think it could be our precious son?"
High on the plateau.
They had only just gotten off the train when Assistant An, holding a portable oxygen cylinder, helped the large man, saying, "Mr. Xia, breathe, breathe!"
Xia Yu was breathing in oxygen, feeling dizzy and lightheaded. For such a tall man, he was actually quite weak at this moment, hunched over.
It seems that the saying "all bark and no bite" has indeed come true.
