Just as the man’s mind was wandering, suddenly, a soft pinch viciously seized his waist.
In an instant, all rampant thoughts scattered. Fresh chapters posted on NovєlFіre.net
"Doctor Lu, are you trying to murder your own husband?" he grunted through clenched teeth.
Lu Jing looked at the man’s bare arm with a hint of disdain:
After the man reluctantly made space, Lu Jing sat up in bed, and the blanket slid off, revealing beside her this rogue who had, at some point, stripped down to just his underpants.
She shot him a series of deadly glares and couldn’t help but curse:
Huffing, she got out of bed and left the room.
Jiang Yecheng sprawled out on the bed like the letter "X," one hand behind his head, smiling so brightly it was almost blinding.
He was very confident in his physique—the kind that looks lean with clothes on but reveals a muscular build once undressed.
He didn’t believe for a second that the woman wouldn’t have some sort of thought after seeing him!
Such a visual feast first thing in the morning—how could one not have any thoughts?
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fled the scene as if escaping for her life.
It took nearly a whole cup of water, gulped down in one go, for her to calm down noticeably.
At that moment, Jiang emerged from the room with his pants on, but his upper body was still bare. While walking, he casually scratched his head with a devilishly charming smile:
"Is it really necessary?"
Lu Jing was a bit stunned, not quite catching on.
Then, the man slowly approached, speaking softly:
"What haven’t you seen before? Hmm?"
Seen it so many times, still shy?
Lu Jing wasn’t too good at handling these situations and could only stare at the person in front of her.
"Well, I need a drink of water."
Better not stir things up, or I’ll be the one at a loss!
Lu Jing snorted coldly and handed the cup over to the man:
Jiang watched as the woman slipped away from right under his nose, his mouth twitching helplessly:
But, he definitely didn’t have the guts to say it out loud.
Meanwhile, Lu Jing was squatting among a pile of luggage, opening a suitcase and digging out a set of clothes.
Then, she found all the bottles and jars for her skincare routine in another bag.
Only after finding everything did she head to the bathroom with her arms full.
As she passed by the man, she didn’t even spare him a glance.
Jiang couldn’t help but laugh, then knocked on the bathroom door:
"I’m going to get breakfast. What would you like?"
"Whatever, I’m not hungry." She genuinely didn’t feel like eating.
But how could Jiang possibly allow her to skip breakfast?
"What do you mean, not hungry?
Even a little bit is fine, wait for me!"
Saying this, he went out decisively, not waiting for her response.
When Captain Jiang asserted himself, hardly anyone could resist, including Lu Jing.
And after all, he was only looking out for her best interests.
Lu Jing felt wronged but wasn’t ungrateful.
By the time Jiang returned with breakfast, Lu Jing was all ready to go.
There he was, leaning on the door, waving her over like calling a puppy:
Lu Jing turned and went to the kitchen for bowls and chopsticks, ignoring him completely.
Peacock-like Captain Jiang could only scurry over, meticulously laying out the breakfast on the table.
During the meal, Jiang spoke up:
"Are you free tonight?"
"You haven’t even heard what I’m saying and you’re not free?"
Lu Jing dabbed at the milk stain on her lips:
"Really not free, I have to go to the lab after work, and it’ll be nearly midnight by the time I’m done."
The man frowned: "Why so late?"
"I’ve been busy with a project lately."
"Just send me a message before you finish work, and I’ll come pick you up."
