Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Two Options (Chapters 212, 213, 214 Combined)
"Okay."
"Hey hey hey~ what are you doing, stop it..."
Zhuang Shuqing looked at the clothes in his hand with tears in her eyes, "You go out first, I’ll wash and then it’s your turn."
"Together."
The next second, Zhuang Shuqing covered her eyes, but there was only one hand left covering her chest, so she had to put her hand back, closing her eyes tightly, not looking at the man’s body.
Damn, this man’s body is her poison, just one glance and she can’t forget.
But even if her eyes can’t see, her mind is still filled with those eight perfect abs flying around.
"Hehe~"
Zhuang Shuqing just heard a low chuckle, followed by a chill on her body as her long dress was also pulled down by him.
She: "..."
At this point, even if she protested, she couldn’t salvage it, so she just closed her eyes and bravely resigned herself to fate.
After a while, when she heard no movement, she got a bit panicked and secretly opened a crack. The man’s toned body was displayed in front of her, and her tranquil heart immediately started thumping joyfully.
Damn, though it’s not the first time she’s seen his body, it’s the clearest view she has ever had.
She really loves this body!
"Had enough of looking?"
Lu Jinyang’s seductive voice came from above her head, Zhuang Shuqing instinctively stepped back, just steadied herself, then a strong, powerful hand pulled her over, the force making her crash directly into his embrace.
This unexpected contact, the feeling of zero-distance skin contact, thrilled her so much that every pore on her body stood up.
Zhuang Shuqing swore, this was the first time in her life she felt so helpless.
In such situations, she could easily find excuses to forgive herself, but now, she was very sober and in the brightly lit bathroom, she couldn’t ignore the urge buried deep in her heart.
She wanted to pull away, but the man’s hand on her back prevented her from retreating, her face flushing red as if it would bleed.
The man’s voice, low and husky, came from above again, "Why are you not moving?"
She: "... I’m not moving."
"Then let’s take a bath."
Fine, let’s bathe, but where should that bastard’s hand be placed?
She slapped his hand away, "Behave yourself."
Lu Jinyang looked at her aggrievedly: "I was just applying body wash for you, where did your mind go?"
Zhuang Shuqing was so angry she didn’t want to speak.
Damn it!
Rubbing and all that, and he had the nerve to say he was just applying body wash for her!
Doesn’t he know how uncomfortable that makes her!
With a mischievous thought, Zhuang Shuqing grabbed a handful of body wash and started rubbing it on him, muttering, "What goes around comes around, I will scrub you too."
She furiously scrubbed without noticing the man’s increasingly deep and thoughtful dark eyes, continued scrubbing, especially when reaching those perfect abs, she unabashedly touched them.
Tsk, this touch, simply too good to be true.
...
...
In the following time,...
...
When they returned to the bed, Zhuang Shuqing lay on the edge of the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In her daze, someone was drying her hair, she waved several times in annoyance.
It finally quieted down for a while, then she felt herself being pulled into a strong embrace, she wriggled discontentedly but eventually found a comfortable position within this embrace and fell deeply asleep.
-
The next morning, Zhuang Shuqing was awoken by tickling.
She opened her eyes and met a pair of teasing eyes, and just as she was about to cover those eyes with her hand, her hand froze mid-air, and then she incredulously stared at the purple and blue marks on her hand, unable to recover for a long time.
"You..."
The man still had that teasing look, and as soon as she began to talk, he immediately picked up the conversation, "I’m still here."
Zhuang Shuqing: "...Aren’t you supposed to go back?"
"No rush, there’s still time."
His tall figure presses towards her, and Zhuang Shuqing’s heart trembles.
In her memory, his embrace was solid and strong, he would hold her tightly, confining her within his arms.
She was madly in love with him at that time.
"Not focusing, huh?"
Zhuang Shuqing snapped out of her thoughts, lifted her delicate hand to trace the contour of his face, "My husband is really handsome."
Seemingly pleased by her words, Lu Jinyang lowered his head and left a teeth mark.
...
...
When she woke up again, Lu Jinyang was no longer by her side.
Zhuang Shuqing opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, scenes from last night and this morning appeared in her mind, making her face turn red repeatedly.
After lying down for a while, she got up, only to find the soreness in her body too noticeable to ignore.
She lay back down, desolately continuing to stare at the ceiling.
The phone rang, she reached out to grab it, glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.
A calm and pleasant male voice came from the other end, "Awake?"
"Yeah."
"Don’t go to work today, rest at home."
Zhuang Shuqing felt her face heating up, cursed herself inwardly for her weakness, then thought about yesterday’s news, "No, I went yesterday, if I don’t go today, they might suspect something."
There was a moment of silence on the other side, "As long as you’re happy, don’t interfere with this matter, let Gu Chen handle it."
"...Okay."
-
The atmosphere in the studio today was indescribably odd, after all, yesterday’s news mentioned a "journalist from a well-known studio" and used her photo.
Despite this, Zhuang Shuqing greeted her colleagues as usual, ignoring their strange glances and subdued whispers. When she reached her desk, she glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao who was already there.
Feeling her gaze, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head, exchanged a look with her and smiled as usual, then turned away.
Zhuang Shuqing nodded to her, internally applauding her for her psychological resilience.
If it had been her who had gone through these events, she wouldn’t have acted as if nothing happened, even if she didn’t cry out loud.
Perhaps thinking Zhuang Shuqing was unaware of what happened in the room, during work hours Lin Xiaoxiao occasionally spoke a few words to Zhuang Shuqing. Lin Xiaoxiao also seemed to forget that the photo in the news was hers.
This kind of conspicuous behavior left Zhuang Shuqing speechless, yet she felt awkward to expose her, only managing to nod or respond with a few words each time she spoke to her.
Finally, when work ended, Secretary Ding suddenly came to get her to the general manager’s office.
Zhuang Shuqing, fearing it was related to the news, rushed over immediately.
In the general manager’s office, Gu Chen frowned at the documents in his hands, looking conflicted. Seeing her, he handed the documents to her, "Sister-in-law, from midnight till now we’ve intercepted several news pieces, all showing your photo."
He paused, then continued, "We now have two options. First is to find the woman in the background of the photo, second, to find Tan Biyang and make her back off."
Zhuang Shuqing dismissed the second option without a thought.
If she went to find Tan Biyang, it was certain to end in failure, but if Lu Jinyang went to her, she might propose some demands she couldn’t accept.
She couldn’t bear her man being touched by someone else.
But this issue was only known by Lin Xiaoxiao and Tan Biyang, oh no, and also Si Nanchen.
She pursed her lips, "If I had a witness to prove that the person in the photo isn’t me, would things be much simpler?"
Gu Chen: "Definitely."
Zhuang Shuqing fell silent.
It seemed she forgot, seeking Si Nanchen’s help was like letting Lu Jinyang approach Tan Biyang, both were things the other couldn’t accept, so what should she do now?
She sighed long, "Well, let me think about it properly, I’ll give you an answer before I finish work this afternoon."
Gu Chen nodded, "Don’t stress yourself, if it’s really difficult, I’ll just let Jinyang take care of it."
He didn’t tell her that Lu Jinyang had a covert force at his disposal, capable of anything, who replaced him in handling matters he couldn’t personally attend to.
