Chapter 226: Unfavorable work
Lu Qian opened his eyes again and it was already dark.
She was the only one left on the soft big bed. Cheng Yi had disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Yi's physical strength is really devilish. As expected, he must be dealing with something again.
Lu Qian still felt a little drowsy, so he turned over on the big bed, hugged Cheng Yi's pillow, and indulged in the faint smell on it for a while.
Then he suppressed the urge to stay in bed a little longer, stretched himself, got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
Lu Qian scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face, causing her to shiver, but the tiredness from having just woken up instantly disappeared from her face.
She changed her clothes and left the room, going up the stairs one step at a time and heading towards Cheng Yi's study.
"roll!"
As I approached the study door, I heard an explosive roar coming from inside.
The sound was so loud that it could be heard through the door, forming a lingering echo in the empty corridor.
Then there were two "bang" sounds, and something hard hit out and fell to the ground.
Lu Qian was so frightened that he even slowed down his pace.
What happened to Cheng Yi?
She lowered her footsteps and continued walking towards the study door.
The study door opened and Vanessa ran out as if escaping, with her head lowered, her golden hair a little messy, looking very embarrassed, without her usual confident and elegant appearance.
She happened to bump into Lu Qian who had just walked to the door. She stopped in fright and looked up at Lu Qian.
Lu Qian was also shocked when he saw Vanessa's face. There was a fresh and obvious red mark on her charming face, as if she had bumped into something, or as if she had been hit by something.
This wound combined with her naturally charming face made her look so pitiful.
She realized that Lu Qian was looking at her, and she covered her face in panic and ran away quickly in her high heels.
Lu Qian looked at Vanessa's back and pursed his lips helplessly.
She walked forward, opened the study door a little, and peeked inside.
Cheng Yi was sitting on a chair in front of the main table. He didn't look very happy. He had a cigarette in his mouth but didn't smoke it. He took it out and put it back again, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Qian squeezed in through the crack in the door and asked quietly.
Cheng Yi didn't even notice Lu Qian appear at the door. He only looked up in a daze when he heard her voice, "You're awake."
"Well," Lu Qian walked to Cheng Yi and raised his hand to press his brow, "I woke up and saw that you were not there, so I came to look for you."
Cheng Yi forced a smile, pulled Lu Qian's small hand that was rubbing on his forehead, and kissed it lightly on his lips.
"It's nothing, don't worry."
Lu Qian rarely saw Cheng Yi with this expression, and Vanessa, who had just run out feeling aggrieved, also hinted to her that this didn't look like everything was alright.
"Don't be so angry," Lu Qian pulled Cheng Yi's hand and sat obediently in his arms. "Besides, Vanessa is a girl after all... Don't be so mean to her."
It seems that the scar on Vanessa's face was caused by Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi grasped Lu Qian's palm and placed kisses on it one after another.
"Did you hear that?" he asked gravely.
"I just walked to the door when I heard you scolding her out." Lu Qian raised his hand to brush a strand of Cheng Yi's hair back. "What happened?"
Cheng Yi buried his mouth in Lu Qian's palm and answered vaguely, "Vanessa didn't do her job well. I let her take the punishment."
Lu Qian frowned, his face full of disbelief.
From diplomacy, military affairs, investigation to housekeeping, Vanessa can be said to have control over every detail.
Having been with Cheng Yi for seven years, she is deeply loved and loyal. If Vanessa is said to be the second most important person in Cheng Yi's dominance in southern Europe, no one dares to say she is the first.
The reason why Vanessa is only the fifth lowest seat is because her external identity is Tavia's housekeeper, which should not be publicized.
But in fact, many of Tavia's affairs are handled by her.
This was the first time Lu Qian heard that Vanessa was incompetent.
"Then why don't you hit her in the face?" Lu Qian raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Yi's stubbled jaw. "She looked so pitiful when I saw her running away just now."
Although Lu Qian couldn't say that she liked Vanessa, as a woman, she still admired her very much.
And that face...it would be such a shame if it was damaged.
Cheng Yi curled his lips frivolously, leaned back heavily on the chair, and half-closed his eyes lazily, "Little thing, if you have the energy, why don't you pay more attention to me."
Lu Qian blinked, looking innocent, "Don't I care about you enough?"
Cheng Yi pinched Lu Qian's chin and asked, "If you care about me enough, would you still have the mind to look at others?"
"Forehead……"
Lu Qian's face twitched. She felt that this was not right, but she couldn't refute it.
"Anyway, don't be angry."
Lu Qian didn't know what to say, so she just leaned quietly on Cheng Yi and stroked his chest.
Cheng Yi looked at Lu Qian, then at the cigarette in his hand, and seemed to have lost any desire to smoke.
He casually tossed the cigarette onto the cigarette box, put his big hand around Lu Qian's waist, and asked coaxingly, "Are you hungry?"
"I'm fine," Lu Qian looked up at him, "Are you hungry? You don't sleep so much, I always feel like you're lacking something."
Lu Qian knew that Cheng Yi was very strong, but he was still a human being after all. If he didn't eat or sleep, he couldn't even maintain his vital signs.
Hearing Lu Qian's words, the aura emanating from Cheng Yi instantly became dangerous, and the hand on Lu Qian's waist began to tighten.
"Do you want me to prove it to you whether I am lacking or not?"
“…” Lu Qian broke out in a sweat instantly.
She just said he was lacking food, sleep, and nutrition, but she didn't say that this man was not good enough! What on earth was he so excited about?
Lu Qian quickly grabbed Cheng Yi's hand, which was about to start committing a crime, and said, "No, no, no, you don't need to prove it. You don't lack anything, nothing at all."
Cheng Yi lowered his head, pecked Lu Qian on the cheek, and gave her a look that said "you're smart".
Lu Qian's eyelids drooped instantly. Why did she always get so angry when she saw Cheng Yi's eyes like that?
"bell--"
The sound of a ring interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
"Xiao Qian! I'm hungry! I want a midnight snack!!!"
As soon as Lu Qian answered the call, Qu Lechao's loud voice came from the other side.
Lu Qian was so shocked that he narrowed his eyes and subconsciously held the phone farther away.
"We're all in the same mansion, why do you have to make a phone call?"
"I'm too lazy to look for you, and what if you and my brother do something bad?"
Qu Le looked indifferent.
“…What the hell.”
Lu Qian rolled his eyes silently. The words "outspoken" were simply designed for this pair of siblings.
"Come downstairs and wait for dinner in the hall."
