Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 824 - 821: All Thanks to You

Leng Yixing chuckled twice and said to Xiao Qing, "See, I was right. He’ll definitely wake up soon." After saying this, he walked over to pour a glass of water and handed a straw over.

"You have an injury in your abdomen, so you can’t sit up. You’ll have to use a straw."

Just as Lu Jinyang was about to put the straw in his mouth, a delicate hand snatched it away just a moment earlier. She said irritably, "Your lips are too dry. You need to moisten them first, then drink."

Leng Yixing handed the cup to Xiao Qing, touched his head awkwardly, "We never had so many formalities before."

After drinking water, Xiao Qing asked him, "Are you feeling any better now?"

"Hmm."

"That’s good. I have to leave now, or else when Nanny Zhang wakes up, she won’t find anyone here. I’ll tell Mom and Dad that you went on a business trip and are too busy to answer the phone. You need to recover quickly."

After quickly saying this, Xiao Qing left without looking back, though her steps seemed rather cautious.

Leng Yixing escorted Xiao Qing back to the ward. When he returned, he realized Lu Jinyang was looking at him in a very different way.

He rolled his eyes, pulled a chair over, and sat by the bed, "What do you want to know?"

"Why was she at the hospital?"

"Wasn’t it because of you..." Leng Yixing gave him a brief rundown of what happened and then asked, "What do you make of this?"

Lu Jinyang knew Leng Yixing was referring to the incident where he got shot. He didn’t speak, recalling the events of that afternoon. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Lu Mansion is in the suburbs, so when going to the city, you have to pass through a sparsely populated road. It was on that road he was intercepted. Fortunately, his driving skills were good, and he managed to slip past them.

There were several people from the other side, and it was quite lucky for him to escape alive.

The Empire had long since banned guns, so why would these people risk breaking the law to shoot at him?

Even more puzzling was that he could feel that the bullet wounds he received were not fatal. It didn’t seem like random firing from amateurs with poor aim but rather from those whose marksmanship was precise, targeting specific areas.

Leng Yixing must’ve considered this possibility too, as he looked bewildered, "Jinyang, what do you think these people want?"

"I don’t know."

"Should I have Peng Yi and He Ning investigate?"

"No," Lu Jinyang refused, "They’re in the shadows, we’re in the open. Taking the initiative would be unwise."

Leng Yixing paced around in frustration, "Are we just going to watch them do this to us? Damn it! They’re just playing with us!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang glanced at him indifferently, "Aren’t you going to rest?"

"..." At this point, who could possibly sleep?

But when he met Lu Jinyang’s gaze, he obediently went to the bed.

As a famous man said, no matter how big the problem, it isn’t bigger than eating and sleeping.

Over the next two days, Xiao Qing obediently stayed in the hospital for fetal care, but at night, whenever she got the chance, she sneaked out to see Lu Jinyang.

Lu Jinyang’s condition improved a lot during these days, and he could get out of bed and walk. He wanted to visit Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing refused him, fearing that if the Lu Family found out, all their efforts would be in vain.

On the third day, the doctor said Xiao Qing could be discharged, but she voluntarily decided to stay in the hospital for another three days for observation.

Ye Han was very pleased with Xiao Qing’s attitude, "Qingqing, don’t worry. I will take good care of Dabao and Xiaobao."
