Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 169: Won’t Take It to Heart

In Leng Yixing’s room, the sudden departure of the two made the atmosphere turn silent. Qin Huaixin felt extremely awkward, but realizing she couldn’t return to her own room, she had no choice but to close her eyes, lie on the bed, and pretend to sleep.

However, Leng Yixing didn’t see it that way.

He put down a bowl of ginger water, holding another in his hand, placed it before the bed, and said to Qin Huaixin, "Don’t sleep just yet, drink this before you do."

A strong scent of ginger wafted over, making Qin Huaixin immediately pull the blanket over her nose, "Leng Yixing, are you stupid?"

Leng Yixing panicked; he hadn’t done anything, so why was he being called stupid?

Seeing Leng Yixing’s clueless expression, Qin Huaixin immediately wanted to rise from the bed and punch him. After taking a few deep breaths and holding back, she said, "You actually made pure ginger soup when I told you to make ginger water; can’t you add some flavor to it?"

"I... Sister-in-law didn’t say to add anything else."

Qin Huaixin: "...I can’t drink this, just leave it."

Hearing this, Leng Yixing put the bowl down and sat back on his stool.

Having gotten up and said a few words, Qin Huaixin found she couldn’t sleep now even if she wanted to. She picked up the mobile phone beside her pillow and started scrolling through.

"Qin Huaixin, I have something to tell you."

"Hm?" Qin Huaixin frowned, "Go ahead, I’m listening."

"Earlier in your room, the things I said while hitting that guy..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Huaixin interrupted him, "I know you said those things to stick up for me, it’s okay, I won’t take it to heart."

But Leng Yixing shook his head, his sun-kissed skin flushing red as he said, "Actually, those words were truly..."

"Yo, I’m really not coming at the right time."

Interrupted for the second time, Leng Yixing looked back impatiently, only to see that it was Lu Xiao. The redness on his face faded, replaced by a layer of frostiness.

"Lu Xiao, don’t push your luck."

Qin Huaixin turned her head to look and suddenly coughed violently.

Holy shit, the pig-headed man standing at the door was Lu Xiao?

How the hell is that even possible!

Hearing Qin Huaixin’s coughing, Leng Yixing quickly stood up, his hand reaching out instinctively to help her catch her breath, but then he abruptly remembered she was a woman and retracted his hand, "Are you okay?"

Qin Huaixin was coughing so hard that she didn’t want to speak; damn it, she hadn’t expected the usually prim and proper Leng Yixing to pack such a punch, what to do? She really felt like laughing.

After a while, she finally stopped coughing and pulled the blanket up over herself again, refusing to look at the two, "If you want to argue, go outside, I want to sleep."

"Alright."

"Not okay."

The one who agreed was Leng Yixing.

The one who disagreed was Lu Xiao. He walked past Leng Yixing towards the large bed, his emotion concealed behind a face bruised in blues and purples as he said, "Miss Qin, I believe your father has already informed you that tomorrow, we’ll start dating with marriage in mind. I hope you sort out your personal feelings before then."

Having said his piece, he didn’t wait for Qin Huaixin to react, walked up to Leng Yixing, and looked down on him with contempt, "I’m curious whether she is your woman or my woman, heh~"

Lu Xiao left.

Leng Yixing stood still, his hands clenched into fists, knuckles cracking.

"Leng Yixing~ Leng Yixing~"

Qin Huaixin called out twice, and Leng Yixing finally snapped back to reality. He collected his thoughts and said, "What is it?"

Qin Huaixin was taken aback, realizing his tone was colder than when he had spoken to her earlier.

Yet Leng Yixing was unaware of his own cold demeanor and continued, "You can stay in this room."
