He has always been a light sleeper, waking up at the slightest movement. Embracing her in the car and sleeping wasn’t very comfortable for him. The reason he managed to fall asleep was sheer exhaustion, but initially, he didn’t think he would nod off. It was only the pleasing scent of her skin that allowed Lu Jingchen to finally catch a few minutes of rest.
Song Qiao’s body was soft and comforting to hold, which is why even though he had already woken up a while ago, he still didn’t let go of her.
Confronted with her questioning, he answered calmly, behaving as if it was all perfectly natural.
Upon hearing his words, Song Qiao was almost angry enough to bite the man in front of her to death.
Suppressing the urge in her heart, she promptly opened the car door, stepped out, and without giving him another glance, she headed straight for the villa.
Her emotions were incredibly mixed at that moment. Every time she thought of the man being with Zuo Yuqing, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Especially now that her grandfather had just gone through a surgery and was out of danger, yet this man did not stay by her side to fulfill his duties as a husband.
Even if their marriage was initially one of convenience, she had given herself to him completely. Didn’t that deserve him doing something for her?
Watching Song Qiao leave without looking back, obviously angry, Lu Jingchen’s eyebrows raised slightly, and he let out a quiet chuckle.
The driver, after glancing at Song Qiao’s retreating figure, hesitated before turning to face Lu Jingchen and spoke, "Sir, the madam seems to be in a bad mood. Earlier on the road, she tried several times to push you away, but each time she raised her hand, she would put it down again."
Lu Jingchen’s hand paused in the act of opening the door after hearing the driver’s words, but he replied unconcernedly, "Mmm, I accidentally made her angry just now."
"Sir, the madam is a person with a very good temperament. Just coax her a little, and she’ll be fine." The driver had been driving for Lu Jingchen for several years, so he saw things more clearly than most and was one of the few household staff who could say such things to Lu Jingchen.
Lu Jingchen was, of course, aware that Song Qiao was very amiable in front of others and an easy person to get along with. He also knew that many of the servants praised Song Qiao for being approachable and easygoing.
Little did he know, she had already won over the hearts of the villa’s servants, even the driver’s. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn noⅴelfire.net
"Madam, you’re back." As soon as Chen Ma saw Song Qiao come in, she immediately took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of her to change into, then she said, "Madam, have you had lunch yet? Do you need me to prepare lunch now?"
Song Qiao changed her shoes, paused with furrowed brows as she pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Mmm, just prepare for me alone."
Having said that, she headed straight for the second floor.
Chen Ma responded and thought that Lu Jingchen wouldn’t be coming back at this moment, expecting him to return only after work in the evening, so she did not give it further thought. She was about to turn towards the kitchen to start preparing lunch when she saw a figure walk in through the door, she paused, quickly regained her senses and approached the man with a pair of slippers and respectfully said, "Sir, you’re back."
Lu Jingchen hummed in acknowledgment, changed into the slippers, and glanced at the living room not seeing Song Qiao, casually asked, "Where’s the madam?"
