Little Seventh unleashed his lifelong skills, and with speed that rivaled a deity of driving, he finally managed to deliver Young Madam safely to the doorstep. Qin Miaomiao stood at the doorway, hesitating slightly.
Just as Little Seventh turned to leave, he was grabbed by Qin Miaomiao:
"Little Seventh, come inside with me."
With Little Seventh around, Lu Qing would at least show her some face and wouldn’t resort to certain punishments—like slapping her palms or smacking her butt, for instance.
Little Seventh firmly refused: "Young Madam, one must face the consequences of one’s actions alone. Lu Qing’s anger is something only you can endure."
"You’re my bodyguard! Come in with me; you can protect me while you’re at it."
Little Seventh immediately shook his head: "No, if I really go in with you, the one needing protection will be me. Young Madam, take care."
You’re no longer the adorable little kitten I once knew!
"Little Seventh, I’m definitely deducting your pay!"
Little Seventh raised his brow, his face righteous and upright: "Then I’ll report to Young Master Lu that you accepted 1.2 million from Ou bei Yao."
Qin Miaomiao was so furious her teeth itched. In just a few days, Little Seventh had managed to pick up some bad habits!
"Little Seventh, you’re really something—learning how to snitch now!"
The door swung open, and there was Lu Qing, standing at the doorway. His expression was cold, and the chill emanating from him made everyone’s goosebumps rise—it was unmistakable; an aggrieved husband, through and through.
Qin Miaomiao immediately stepped forward, wrapping her arms around his neck as she cooed:
"Hubby, how come you came out personally to welcome me?"
Lu Qing promptly pulled her hands off: "Don’t try to change the subject. Little Seventh, what are you snitching about?"
Qin Miaomiao glared at him, her gaze warning: If you dare betray me, ha, just wait to be tortured!
Little Seventh remained calm and collected as he replied: "Young Madam ate three tubs of ice cream."
Um... okay then. Lying with your eyes wide open? You’re incredible.
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow: "Three tubs of ice cream? At Ou bei Yao’s place?"
Qin Miaomiao’s heart instantly skipped a beat, and she hurriedly flattered him: "Hubby, you’re amazing. You’re practically omniscient when it comes to my every move."
Lu Qing sneered, grabbing the back of her collar and dragging her inside. His tone was nonchalant: "Mrs. Lu, we need to discuss family rules in depth."
With a loud bang, the door shut behind them. Little Seventh looked at the closed door, shoved his hands into his pockets, and whistled.
One thing defeats another—Young Madam, hold on tight.
Lu Qing carried her straight to the bedroom?
He threw her onto the soft bed, causing her to bounce a little. With a swift motion, Lu Qing locked the door.
Hey, hey, hey! There are only two of us in the house. What’s the point of locking the door?
She watched as he roughly yanked off his tie and unbuttoned his collar.
Qin Miaomiao swallowed hard. Her voice stammered slightly: "Uh, hubby, you need to stay calm. You *must* stay calm!"
"Height: 187 cm, weight: 75 kilos, narrow waist, firm hips, well-defined deltoids, and sun-kissed skin? Your appraisal of Ou bei Yao is quite glowing."
Qin Miaomiao’s internal alarm bells went off as she quickly explained: "You’re misunderstanding! He doesn’t hold a candle to you, Hubby!"
"Is that so? Then how do you know about his narrow waist, firm hips, and deltoids?"
"When I called you, he was there too?"
"You spent two hours at his house? Hmm?"
Each question was sharper than the last, and sweat began dripping down Qin Miaomiao’s forehead. Damn it, she hadn’t done a thing; why was it starting to feel like she’d been caught cheating?
Is there anyone else who’d scam 1.2 million off a supposed lover and come back home ?
"Hubby, listen to me. The truth is actually—"
Lu Qing’s lips curled into a smirk: "Naturally, I’ll listen to your explanation. But I prefer hearing it in another form. Be good—it won’t hurt. Lie down first."
Huh? What’s happening?
"What are you doing with that tie? Lu Qing, you bastard! If you dare to tie me up, I... I’ll definitely run away from home!"
