Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 772 - 769: Wanting to Take the Money and Leave ( - s 768 and 769 Combined)
Almost at the instant the door opened, Xiao Qing’s eyes widened in shock, and then she quickly turned around. Oh my, what did she just see?
Her man was standing in front of her, stark naked, and droplets of water were slowly trailing down his explosively sexy muscles, almost causing her to lose her composure.
She took a deep breath, handed him his clothes with the back of her hand, and quickly left as soon as he took them.
Watching his own woman flee in panic, Lu Jinyang belatedly realized what had happened and couldn’t help but chuckle.
After coming out of the shower, Xiao Qing was already lying on the bed, appearing to have fallen asleep by the sounds of her breathing. Lu Jinyang’s face darkened as he walked over, ready to lift her quilt, only to find that she had already changed into pajamas, and the tips of her hair were damp, presumably from taking a bath in the other bathroom before coming back.
He sighed resignedly and carefully tucked her in before lying down on the other side of the bed.
Lying in bed, Lu Jinyang was unable to fall asleep, his mind preoccupied with today’s encounter with Song Zhiqing. He had observed Song Zhiqing’s behavior carefully but couldn’t spot any flaws.
Was he hiding it too well, or had he overlooked something?
However, after mulling it over several times until sleepiness hit him, he still couldn’t figure it out...
-
Winter arrived as expected, nearly on the same day as in previous years.
This morning, little Kairun got up early and knocked on Xiao Qing’s door. Xiao Qing, with sleep still in her eyes, opened the door to find Kairun wrapped up in pajamas, with her neck shrunken in. She quickly brought the child into the room and called Nanny Zhang to turn on the heating, which made things a bit better.
"Kairun, where is your brother? Did he get up?" Xiao Qing tucked Kairun into the bed, snugly wrapping the quilt around her.
Lu Jinyang had not yet woken up. Feeling the warmth beside her, Kairun kept snuggling up against Lu Jinyang until she finally wriggled into his arms and stopped moving.
Xiao Qing looked on speechlessly as she wormed about under the covers, eventually waking up Lu Jinyang. She made a helpless gesture at him, then put on a coat and headed towards Kairun’s elder brother’s room.
A month ago, Xiao Qing had all their winter clothes prepared. Unsure if her elder son knew where his clothes were hung, she couldn’t rest easy without checking on him.
After knocking on the door a few times and hearing no response, Xiao Qing wondered if he hadn’t woken up at this hour.
She knocked a few more times, still no movement from inside. After standing for a moment, she said, "Elder son, mommy is coming in~"
When she opened the door and looked inside, Xiao Qing didn’t see her eldest. Her frown deepened like the Chinese character "川" – had he gone downstairs for breakfast? Hesitating for a moment, she headed towards the walk-in closet only to hear a noise from behind after taking a few steps.
She immediately turned around and saw her eldest son standing up from the other side of the bed, one hand rubbing his eyes and the other continuously rubbing his body.
"Elder son, you..."
"Mommy, I fell under the bed..."
Xiao Qing looked at his disheveled clothes and the hand that wouldn’t stop rubbing his bottom, and suddenly burst into laughter: "How did you sleep?"
Walking over, she picked him up into her arms, intending to check him over, but he stopped her: "Mommy, I’m fine, it’s just a bit cold sleeping on the floor."
Only then did Xiao Qing remember her original purpose, placed him on the bed and covered him with the quilt. She stood up and walked toward his closet~
At that moment, her elder son took a few deep breaths and patted his chest with a look of having survived a great peril. He had been engrossed in watching something on the computer by the bed, so absorbed in it that he didn’t notice when his mommy came in.
He decided to play dumb and wait for mommy to leave before coming out, but he had not expected that she would head towards the closet. If she had taken a few more steps forward, she would definitely have seen him sitting by the bed.
In desperation, he thought of this method.
Soon after, Xiao Qing took some clothes from the cloakroom and handed them to him, "It’s quite cold outside today, you should wear something warm. Do you need help changing your clothes?"
"No need, Mommy, I can do it myself. But, I still want to sleep a little longer, get up after I’m warm, is that okay?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"That’s fine, but you can’t sleep too late. You need to get up for breakfast."
"Mhm."
After getting the promise from Dabao, Xiao Qing left the room.
Almost as soon as the door closed, Dabao rolled out of bed, took a computer from under it, and stared intently at the screen, filled with curiosity and excitement in his eyes.
This was what Leng Yixing had asked him to do.
In the video, a man was cutting a woman’s wrist, and that man was the one from the video that had taken him days to acquire.
There was no sign of fear in Dabao’s eyes, but rather an increasing interest; he realized that this person was a murderer!
He quickly hacked the surveillance footage and left a scornful emoticon on that person’s computer, then swiftly backed up the videos. Next, he somehow managed to pull up surveillance of that small room...
Five minutes later, Dabao watched the surveillance footage of his daddy, mommy, and Uncle Leng in shock, unable to close his gaping mouth.
After wracking his brain for a while, he realized that it was them who had been making deals with him these past few days!
He thought to himself, daddy and mommy have been very busy lately, too busy to take care of him and his sibling, as it turned out they had encountered some trouble. However, the most important thing for him now was to figure out what that bad guy had done, why he had sneaked onto daddy’s turf to kill.
Thinking of this, Dabao rewound and watched the surveillance again, only to realize that the woman who was killed was his Auntie Sewei!
Dabao was stunned, although his thoughts could be mature, he was still just a six-year-old child, and after combining all these events, he began to be overwhelmed~
Downstairs
Xiao Qing had waited for a long time without seeing Dabao come down and said to Lu Jinyang with some concern, "Dabao said he wanted to sleep a bit more earlier, but he’s still not down yet, should you go check on him?"
"He’s six years old, skipping one meal won’t hurt him."
"But~"
"Alright, just leave a portion of breakfast for him, let him sleep a bit longer."
Seeing this, Xiao Qing had no choice but to give up on the idea of calling Dabao and said to Lu Jinyang, "There’s nothing urgent at the company today, shall we stay at home and spend time with the children?"
Lu Jinyang thought for a moment and did not refuse, "I’ll go to the study and handle some things first, I’ll join you after lunch."
"Okay~"
Lu Jinyang had just reached the study when Leng Yixing’s phone call came through.
"Damn, Jinyang, surely that little Nine isn’t thinking of taking the money and running, is he?"
Lu Jinyang opened his computer calmly, "Leng Yixing, we’ve known each other for a while now, right? From our time in the army to now working together at Kairun, it’s been at least ten years."
