Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 235: The Urge to Tease Her

Run away...with the ball?

Zhuang Shuqing read those words over and over. She recognized every single word, but once parsed, their meaning eluded her.

A large hand wrapped around her waist from behind, pulling her back to bed. Zhuang Shuqing snapped out of her shock and looked towards Lu Jinyang, "Um, Qin Huaixin has run off."

"So? She’s run off, let’s sleep some more; it’s still early."

She silently checked the time, and sure enough, it was early, just 6 AM. According to Lu Jinyang’s usual routine, there was still half an hour before he would get up.

But now, she couldn’t settle down to sleep.

So, she shook him again, "Shouldn’t we tell Leng Yixing about this?"

"Never mind him. It’s his wife, his responsibility to chase after her."

In Lu Jinyang’s eyes, a man who needed someone else to chase after his own wife wasn’t capable of keeping her, even if she was brought back to him.

Zhuang Shuqing: "..."

Seeing Lu Jinyang so calm and collected, she too began to relax.

The message from Qin Huaixin came at four in the morning, which meant two hours had passed. Even if they went to chase after her now, it would be too late.

After a moment of silent condolence for Leng Yixing, Zhuang Shuqing snuggled into Lu Jinyang’s embrace and drifted back to sleep.

When she awoke again, as usual, Lu Jinyang was no longer by her side.

After freshening up and leaving the bedroom, she unexpectedly saw Lu Jinyang at home in his loungewear at this hour, watching the news.

Driven by curiosity, Zhuang Shuqing approached him, "Aren’t you going back to the military base or the company today?"

Lu Jinyang: "Hmm, I won’t need to go back to the base much longer."

She didn’t quite catch his meaning and asked instinctively, "Why not?"

He glanced at her, wordless.

Now Zhuang Shuqing’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued. She sat next to him, pressing close, "Lu Jinyang, why won’t you need to go back to the military base soon?"

She was just curious. Yesterday she had heard about Leng Yixing’s discharge, and today...

At that thought, Zhuang Shuqing suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at Lu Jinyang, "You... you’ve retired too?"

"If there are no issues, the approval should come through very soon."

Zhuang Shuqing, who had never expected Lu Jinyang would say such a thing, was now so shocked she was at a loss for words.

He had actually applied for retirement!

Especially considering that it was she who had sparked the idea of retirement in him, in this moment, she hoped that she was the reason for his retirement, yet at the same time, hoped she wasn’t.

Caught up in her conflicting feelings, she failed to notice that she was kneading his arm that she was holding onto, causing Lu Jinyang to frown and look sideways at her.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah?" She startled, then, seeing herself gripping his firm arm without any semblance of decorum, lowered her head a little embarrassed, "I’ve been wanting to ask you for a long time, how did you build these muscles?"

Muscles?

The corners of Lu Jinyang’s mouth twitched silently, this woman always managed to blurt out such unexpected things. Facing her earnest eyes, he suddenly felt a teasing urge, "Words aren’t an accurate enough expression; actions are more precise."

"Then show me quickly."

Hearing him say he would demonstrate, Zhuang Shuqing almost drooled.

She had to admit, Lu Jinyang’s physique was so good it made her salivate. Now that she had the chance to witness his exclusive fitness secrets, the excitement was beyond words.

Lu Jinyang gave her a deep look, reached down to grasp the hem of his shirt and lifted it up, successfully sliding the shirt off over his arms.
