Men look slender when clothed, but reveal a sturdy physique upon undressing. The moment Shuqing’s eyes latched onto his broad and solid chest, and those impeccable abs, she swallowed hard.
Before she could fully appreciate his allure, Lu Jinyang reached out towards her, swiftly unbuttoning her clothes.
Her expression instantly froze, as her hands preemptively clutched at her own collar, warily staring at him, "What are you doing?"
"Isn’t this what you asked me to show you?"
"Yes, but why are you taking off my clothes?"
Lu Jinyang: "How can I do it without taking off clothes? Or do you only want to undress..." In the midst of speaking, he glanced at her skirt, his meaning clear yet unsaid.
Zhuang Shuqing stood there petrified, unable to recover from the shock he inflicted upon her.
So, the ’exercise’ he referred to in the beginning was this kind of activity with her in bed, and not the proper physical training she had in mind?!
At this moment, she really wanted to curse.
Lu Jinyang’s hands continued their task, not stopping until Zhuang Shuqing felt a cool sensation on her abdomen; only then did she realize that all the buttons on her shirt had been undone.
"Ah... Lu Jinyang, stop it right now!" She yelled, as she hastily retreated.
Perhaps caught off guard, Lu Jinyang allowed her to break free suddenly. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Zhuang Shuqing was both embarrassed and angry, accusing him, "In broad daylight, how can you do such a thing!"
"Isn’t it the same when we turn on the lights at night?"
If it hadn’t happened to her, Zhuang Shuqing would never have imagined that the Imperial Major would say such lewd things.
She was so ashamed she wished the earth would swallow her. Swiftly buttoning up, she grabbed her bag and rushed out the door.
After she left, Lu Jinyang silently curved his lips, finding it amusing that she couldn’t even handle a couple of words from him.
If in the future he’d be holding her every day and night to make babies, what would she do then?
Standing at the entrance of Jinxiu Garden, Zhuang Shuqing remembered that one couldn’t hail a cab from here, feeling depressed instantly.
She hesitated in place for quite a while, eventually capitulating and pulled out her phone to dial Lu Jinyang’s number.
To her lack of surprise, when Lu Jinyang received her call, he simply instructed her to "wait right there" before hanging up.
Zhuang Shuqing stood idle, occasionally glancing towards the garage. Suddenly, one — no, two familiar figures entered her sight, and she widened her eyes in astonishment.
How could Si Nanchen be with Tan Biyang!
Since the clarification in the newspaper that the figure wasn’t her, Zhuang Shuqing, she hadn’t seen Tan Biyang since. Moreover, it had been days since Si Nanchen’s last visit.
At that moment, Tan Biyang was walking towards the garage, arm in arm with Si Nanchen, seemingly engaged in conversation that had them both smiling openly.
Zhuang Shuqing couldn’t come up with any explanation, and when she looked again in that direction, they had disappeared from sight. Yet she saw Lu Jinyang’s car slowly rolling out of the garage.
Once in the car, Zhuang Shuqing was still thinking about what she just witnessed. It wasn’t so much that she had a great interest in those two people, but rather the intimate manner in which a superior and subordinate were presenting themselves in public caught the attention of her journalistic instincts, suggesting to her that there was more to the situation.
"What are you thinking about?"
Her stream of thoughts interrupted, Zhuang Shuqing involuntarily glanced to the side to find Lu Jinyang scrutinizing her with a probing gaze.
She shook her head, "It’s nothing. I just saw Tan Biyang and Si Nanchen together and couldn’t help but overthink a bit."
Little did she know, as soon as her words fell, an icy sternness shadowed the man’s brows, "Don’t you dare think about other men!"
