In the evening, Li Manman finally left. After seeing that girl off, Han Xi returned to her room. Her mind was now filled with images of Lu Jinghan embracing another woman.
.......
At Ancheng Airport, the assistant, Xiao Zhang, saw Lu Jinghan coming out and quickly ran over to help with the luggage.
Lu Jinghan tiredly opened the car door and sat in the back seat, his eyes bloodshot.
After placing the luggage in the trunk, Xiao Zhang also got in the car. He bent down to buckle his seatbelt, hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke: "President Lu, have you seen today’s news?"
"What news?"
Lu Jinghan closed his eyes, leaning against the back seat, his hands folded on his lap.
"News about you and Miss Bai Antong booking a hotel together in the United States has made the headlines." Xiao Zhang coughed lightly a couple of times, daring to add another sentence: "Online comments are saying Bai Antong is a mistress you’re keeping outside."
Lu Jinghan opened his eyes, a sharp light in his jet-black gaze. He took out his phone from his coat pocket, clicked on the news, and glanced at it.
"Get these news articles taken down immediately."
Xiao Zhang, intimidated by the aura Lu Jinghan exuded, felt a chill down his spine and nodded hurriedly: "I understand, President Lu."
Back home, Sister Zhang cheerfully took the suitcase from Lu Jinghan’s hand: "Sir, you’re back! Hungry? Dinner is ready."
"What’s Xiao Xi doing?"
Lu Jinghan bent down to take a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on, worried that the girl would be upset after seeing the news.
"Madam has been in her room all along."
Lu Jinghan took off his coat and handed it to Sister Zhang before heading upstairs. He opened the bedroom door, and the dim room was without lights.
He quietly walked to the bedside: "Honey, are you asleep?"
"No."
Han Xi, with her back to Lu Jinghan, spoke with a voice as clear as dust carrying emotions.
"Are you angry?"
"How about tomorrow I also hang out with another man and go to a hotel, so you can taste what that’s like."
Lu Jinghan half-squatted at the bedside, raising his hand to rub the girl’s earlobe: "Bai Antong is my uncle’s daughter. She just happened to be in the United States shooting a commercial, so we went for a meal together. Coincidentally, we stayed at the same hotel, which is why such news appeared."
After listening to Lu Jinghan’s explanation, Han Xi still pouted a little and refused to turn around, still a bit upset.
When the two of them got married at the time, Bai Antong couldn’t attend due to work, so Han Xi didn’t know her.
"Girl, I missed you, turn around and let me see you."
Even though it had only been two days apart, Lu Jinghan missed this girl terribly, feeling like he could never be without Han Xi in his life.
"Lu Jinghan, who allowed you to be so intimate with another woman."
Lu Jinghan stood up with a light smile, lifted the quilt, lay on his side, and pulled the girl into his arms: "Don’t be angry, if Bai Antong dares to cling to me again, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson."
Han Xi turned around and hugged Lu Jinghan’s slim waist: "I just feel uncomfortable seeing other women cling to you."
"Hmm, that’s better."
Han Xi was amused by Lu Jinghan, laughing, not even understanding why she’s become so fussy. Maybe it’s because of love.
In the dim room, Lu Jinghan lowered his head to kiss Han Xi’s soft lips, their fluids mingling as they entwined together, and the two days apart felt as long as four seasons to them.
