"It must be because Young Master Lu has trained you well, making his own wife deal with those women outside. How could I be so tactless?"
As she said this, she could feel the rough pad of his finger brushing against her delicate skin, even pressing down, gradually tightening.
There was a dangerous glint in Lu Qing’s eyes as he leaned in a little closer. She could even see the amber-like hue of his pupils—cold and devoid of any emotion.
"I don’t appreciate people being overly obedient and presumptuous."
Qin Miaomiao found it slightly difficult to breathe. Faced with this capricious tyrant, a surge of anger rose in her chest. For a moment, she was utterly incensed!
"So, being too obedient isn’t okay either? Young Master Lu, your standards are truly high. If I’m not jealous and help you handle those little lovers of yours, do you still expect me to play along and put on an act of being deeply in love with you? Sorry, but that’s a level of nuance I simply can’t master."
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, locking his gaze on her face.
Her features might not be meticulously refined, but together they made for an arresting appearance—more and more appealing to the eye. In fact, there was a certain icy sharpness in her gaze, tinged with inherent allure.
This allure seemed to seep from her very bones, natural and effortless. Yet her eyes carried a hint of wildness and rebelliousness!
A single glance was enough to effortlessly pluck at the strings of his heart.
A slight smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. An untamed wild horse—it would only be interesting to conquer.
He released her, stood upright, and said in a flat tone:
"It’s time to go back."
He didn’t answer her question and walked straight out on his own. Qin Miaomiao gritted her teeth, threw on a coat, and followed him outside.
Logically, she should be returning to her apartment. Lu Qing had never lived with her; she didn’t even know where he stayed.
They rarely met once in half a year—a mysterious, elusive figure. This was one of the reasons for Qin Miaomiao’s emotional outburst.
Once they exited the venue and got into the car, she opened her mouth to speak, but Lu Qing was toying with his phone, seemingly handling work. She decided against interrupting him.
In her mind, after a performance , they should each go their separate ways, live their own lives, and leave it at that. As long as he dropped her back home, that was enough.
She leaned to the side and closed her eyes for a short rest. By the time she woke up, the car had already stopped, and the door was slowly opening. The car drove inside!
Qin Miaomiao opened her eyes and was startled.
This... this was the Lu Family residence?
Why did he bring her back to the Lu Family?
Lu Qing’s mother was an extremely domineering woman. Naturally, she looked down on Qin Miaomiao. They had met only once or twice and exchanged a few words, but her icy gaze and disdainful tone were unforgettable.
After just a few confrontations, Qin Miaomiao had fled in disarray.
Lu Qing also had a sister, who was even more willful than Qin Miaomiao and had caused her no small amount of humiliation.
Staring at the grand European-style mansion, Qin Miaomiao felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
This was an instinctive reaction, stemming from a shadow in her heart.
Yet Qin Miaomiao curved her lips into a smile. It seemed Lu Qing was determined to make her next three months unbearable, throwing her directly into this place.
Perfect. This promised to be a rather entertaining game!
She stepped out of the car, her high heels clicking against the cobblestone pavement. As soon as her ankle wobbled, she was about to fall to the side.
But a large hand caught her waist, steadying her and preventing her from hitting the ground.
Qin Miaomiao glanced at him. His profile was undeniably striking—sharp contours and deep-set eyes. Being stared at by him gave an illusion of having one’s soul pulled away.
A delicate, slightly indignant voice rang out. Lu Lu walked over, glaring at Qin Miaomiao with hostility.
"Why did you bring this woman back?"
She asked bluntly. Lu Qing released his hand and said in an indifferent tone:
"She is your sister-in-law."
