Lu Jinghan looked at Han Xi and didn’t ask further, since she didn’t want to say more, he wouldn’t force her.
After dinner, Han Xi returned to the bedroom.
Lu Jinghan sat on the sofa in the living room, his distinct fingers held a lit cigarette, and he called Sister Zhang who was tidying up in the dining room.
"What happened to Madam today?"
Since Lu Jinghan asked, Sister Zhang naturally wouldn’t hide it anymore. She wiped the water stains on her apron and then spoke indignantly: "It was that bad woman who previously broke into our villa insisting on becoming Mrs. Lu. Just now, she blocked Madam at the community gate, poured a bucket of something unknown and foul on her, and let cats scratch Madam. I was going to tell you, sir, but Madam didn’t allow it because she didn’t want to trouble you."
The more Sister Zhang spoke, the angrier she got, and her voice involuntarily rose: "Madam was terrified by the cats, her face went white, and that wicked woman even laughed loudly, completely heartless."
In the thin smoke and mist, Lu Jinghan’s deep, inscrutable eyes squinted slightly, the contour of his side face was tense.
"I understand, you go ahead and get busy."
Sister Zhang was frightened by the bone-chilling wrath emanating from Lu Jinghan, and quickly turned around and returned to the dining room.
Lu Jinghan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his fingers holding the cigarette rhythmically tapping the metal lighter, a sinister light brewing in his obscure eyes.
Once the whole cigarette burned out, he leaned over to extinguish the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then got up and went upstairs.
In the bedroom, Han Xi was leaning on the bed reading a medical book, Lu Jinghan pushed open the door and walked in, looking at the woman under the light, his heart ached for a moment.
Lu Jinghan came to the bedside and pulled Han Xi into his arms, his chin gently rubbing against her hair: "Having you is truly wonderful."
Han Xi was a bit puzzled by his words, she put down the book in her hand and looked up at him: "What’s wrong with you? Why say this all of a sudden?"
Lu Jinghan’s lips curved into a nice arc, and in his deeply profound eyes like the ocean shone a soul-stirring sentiment: "Nothing, just want to be with you forever."
"Mr. Lu, I’m stuck with you for life, can’t shake you off."
Han Xi leaned into Lu Jinghan’s embrace, her voice soft and calm like water.
"Does your hand still hurt?"
"You’ve asked several times already, it really doesn’t hurt at all, don’t worry."
Lu Jinghan took the book from Han Xi’s hand and placed it on the bedside table: "It’s late, let’s sleep."
Han Xi moved aside to let Lu Jinghan lie down, then snuggled into his arms, her small hands tightly wrapped around his slim waist: "Good night."
"Good night, my love."
Lu Jinghan’s palm gently stroked Han Xi’s back, a tender voice overflowed from his moving throat.
Han Xi’s breathing gradually became steady and shallow, and only after she was sound asleep did Lu Jinghan withdraw his arm from under Han Xi’s neck and gently remove her arms from his waist to get out of bed.
Lu Jinghan leaned over to tuck Han Xi in, and then quietly pushed open the bedroom door and walked out.
Downstairs, Lu Jinghan picked up the car keys from the coffee table and drove away from the villa.
About twenty minutes later, a black Maybach stopped in front of the Lin Family Villa, Lu Jinghan got out of the car and went over to ring the doorbell.
The Nanny was just about to rest, but hearing the doorbell, she quickly went to open the door, and upon seeing Lu Jinghan, she greeted respectfully: "Mr. Lu, you’ve arrived."
