Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 891 - 888: He’s Still the One Giving His All ( - s 887–888 Combined)

Lu Jinyang’s face suddenly darkened, "It’s night, and you’re still thinking about other men?"

"What do you mean by ’thinking about other men’?" Xiao Qing raised an eyebrow.

The man had just stepped out of the shower, wearing only a towel. Water droplets, not yet dried, trickled down his rugged physique, and his black hair dripped with water.

Xiao Qing subconsciously swallowed her saliva, this man’s body was infuriatingly good. After having a child, she had gained three pounds, and her abs had faded, yet his physique remained impeccable even after long periods of inactivity.

Noticing Xiao Qing’s gaze on him, Lu Jinyang’s lips curved slightly, the displeasure from earlier vanished instantly.

Lu Jinyang lifted the covers and lay down. His warm body approached, raising the temperature under the blanket by several degrees.

She said in a husky voice, "Stop it, I have to return to New City tomorrow. Guan Juntao called today, saying there’s something I need to deal with... hss~"

Before she could finish, Xiao Qing gasped.

"Lu Jinyang, come out here!"

Despite her words, not only did Lu Jinyang not come out, he burrowed further under the covers.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Qing felt she couldn’t take it anymore. Seizing an opportunity, she kicked Lu Jinyang, "Get out here!"

After a moment, there was no movement under the covers, the tingling sensation continued. Xiao Qing held back and held back, but finally unable to contain herself, she got angry, sat up abruptly, and lifted the covers.

Lu Jinyang stopped because of her actions, looking up at her with confusion. His deep, enigmatic black eyes seemed to want to pull her in.

Xiao Qing gasped, this was maddening!

"Sit still, don’t move!"

Surprisingly, Lu Jinyang really sat properly, motionlessly watching her, his expression somewhat aggrieved.

She rubbed her throbbing temples, just about to reprimand him, when she noticed he had been staring at her. She looked down and immediately panicked.

With a "boom," Xiao Qing’s mind exploded.

Lu Jinyang had somehow already lain down, propping his head on his arms, looking at her with a playful smile, that expression infuriatingly smug.

The next morning, she woke up at nine, and by the time she arrived at the office, it was already lunchtime.

Guan Juntao, receiving a call from Xiao Qing’s direct line, came to her office with a pile of documents, finding Xiao Qing half-asleep.

He cautiously asked, "Ma’am, why don’t you take a nap and then deal with these matters?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing’s sleepiness vanished instantly. Her face slightly flushed, "Just leave them here, I’ll handle it."

"Alright. Just tell me if you need anything, ma’am."

"Mm, you go ahead."

After Guan Juntao left, Xiao Qing’s face reddened further when he suggested she take a nap.

The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Qing finally finished reviewing the stack of documents Guan Juntao had brought. She glanced at the time and dialed Lu Jinyang’s number.

The call rang for a long time without being answered, puzzling Xiao Qing. Even if Lu Jinyang was in a meeting, he would always answer her call immediately, but now...

Xiao Qing dialed again, and this time, the phone was picked up after just a few rings, while faint footsteps could be heard outside her office.

"Are you busy?" she asked over the phone.

As her voice fell, a loud thud was suddenly heard outside, distinct and unmistakable.

Xiao Qing immediately ran out.

On usual occasions, she wouldn’t have bothered, but the same sound came through from the other end of the call, even matching in rhythm.

Opening the door, Xiao Qing froze in place, trembling all over.

Three meters away on the floor, Lu Jinyang lay there, drenched in sweat, his expression pained and contorted.

Xiao Qing stood there, staring at him lying on the ground, momentarily unsure how to react.

Lu Jinyang had finished his work early, planning to pick Xiao Qing up and give her a surprise. But by the time he arrived in New City, he noticed something was wrong.

The addiction hadn’t flared up in a long time, so he assumed he was cured and didn’t think about it.

But once inside the elevator, that unsettling feeling grew stronger and more familiar. By then, it was too late for Lu Jinyang to retreat.

As the elevator reached the floor, Lu Jinyang endured the pain, stepping out and holding back the feeling of being gnawed at as he made his way to Xiao Qing’s office. After taking only a few steps, his phone buzzed. He looked at the phone, seeing it was Xiao Qing calling, and noted a missed call notification, too.

Without hesitation, he answered, but as man proposes, God disposes. Just as he picked up and before he could speak, his body lurched forward uncontrollably, leaving him no choice but to watch helplessly as he fell to the ground.
