He buried his head in the crook of her neck and chuckled, "Wanwan, hurry and wake up! Your scent has changed, it’s all medicine and disinfectant now. What if you can’t captivate me anymore?"
Of course, this was a joke, but Lu Jinxuan felt puzzled. Initially, he was attracted to her because of her natural fragrance, but these past few days, it’s been masked. Yet, he still finds peace sleeping beside her.
The phone vibrated on the bedside table. Lu Jinxuan frowned and reached for it.
"Mom."
Mrs. Lu tried to stay calm, "Son, Miss Gong has come back. You’re supposed to come back, so why didn’t you bring her along this time?"
Lu Jinxuan was impatient, "If you’re going to say that, I’m hanging up..." It might disturb Wanwan.
"Don’t hang up!" Mrs. Lu hastily stopped him, "Mr. and Mrs. Gong are coming over for dinner tonight. Even if you’re unwilling, you have to put on a show. I don’t need to elaborate on the reasons, right?"
Lu Jinxuan held the phone tightly, glancing at the person in his arms. He must protect her. He can’t act rashly now; his mother may be strong, but she’s still different from outsiders.
"Okay."
Chapter 146: This woman, utterly disgusts me
Before leaving, Lu Jinxuan instructed his subordinates to prevent any strangers from entering. These were his trusted aides, completely reliable. Over the past few days, they’ve noticed how nervous the young master is about Miss Yu inside.
"Yes, young master, rest assured."
Arriving at the front banquet hall, Lu Jinxuan had composed himself.
"Jinxuan!" Gong Xueyan rushed over to him as soon as she saw him.
Tonight, she had changed into an evening gown, deliberately showcasing her slim figure and impressive bust. These were her assets to attract men. Gong Xueyan believed Lu Jinxuan only liked Yu Sangwan for the same reason... that girl clung to Lu Jinxuan due to her looks, didn’t she?
Lu Jinxuan subtly moved away, ensuring she didn’t touch him.
Gong Xueyan’s eyes dimmed, and she muttered, "Stingy."
"..." Lu Jinxuan frowned; how could she show this coquettish demeanor before him? Truly... disgusting!
Noticing his gaze on her, Gong Xueyan misunderstood. Has he finally noticed her? This is a good sign. She knew that with her attributes, no man would overlook her charm. Isn’t Lu Jinxuan also a man?
Mrs. Lu and Mr. and Mrs. Gong observed this, unable to suppress their smiles.
"These two kids seem good together."
Mrs. Lu understood but couldn’t say much, "Mr. and Mrs. Gong, please don’t laugh. Jinxuan has always had this indifferent temperament since he was young."
"Not at all." Mrs. Gong responded immediately, "I think it’s great. Our Xueyan has always been proud. We were worried she might cause issues, but looking now... that girl seems conquered by Jinxuan. This should bode well for harmonious future marital relations."
Mr. Gong quickly agreed, "Yes! Look, Jinxuan went to Antarctica and brought Xueyan back. She was upset about the marriage arranged secretly. So, letting the young ones spend more time together seems better than us matchmaking."
Mrs. Lu was speechless, knowing it wasn’t her son who brought her back. If they knew the truth... the consequences were unimaginable.
Forcing a smile, Mrs. Lu invited the Gong family to sit, "Please, Mr. and Mrs. Gong, have a seat. Jinxuan, take care of Xueyan."
Unexpectedly, Lu Jinxuan remained indifferent, ignoring her.
Gong Xueyan pouted and pulled out a chair for Lu Jinxuan. Lu Jinxuan glared at her, his disgust rising.
Gong Xueyan smiled, "Master Lu, please sit."
"Tch." Lu Jinxuan sneered silently. She was so despicable, and he had no choice but to refuse her offer.
...
In the master bedroom, Yu Sangwan suddenly opened her eyes. The unfamiliar environment emanated a mixed aroma.
She tried moving, her body weak and limp. Even her mouth seemed glued shut, making it difficult to open.
Due to her slight movements, the connected monitor made a ’beep beep beep’ sound. Yu Sangwan was puzzled. What was this sound? She remembered getting lost in the snowy landscape, feeling cold, chased by seals, losing her clothes...
The dozing nurse on the sofa nearby was startled awake, "Miss Yu, you’re awake?"
"Uh..." Yu Sangwan attempted to speak, her throat painfully dry, "Water."
"You’re thirsty?" The nurse hurried to fetch water, "Alright, coming right up."
The nurse got some water and used a silver spoon to feed her small sips, "Miss Yu, take it slow, you’ve just woken up, and drinking too quickly isn’t good." The nurse was experienced and careful.
Yu Sangwan’s mouth felt a bit moist, her throat less dry, she gratefully smiled at the nurse, "Thank you."
The nurse felt embarrassed, "You’re welcome, I’m not worthy of your gratitude."
"This place..." Yu Sangwan still lacked strength, speaking intermittently, "Where... is it?"
Recalling Lu Jinxuan’s repeated instructions, the nurse’s eyes twinkled, "This is Master Lu’s home..." added, "in Holy City."
Yu Sangwan frowned, Master Lu... was Jinxuan. So, Lu Jinxuan had another home in Holy City? She only knew the Lu Family’s foundation was in Donghua but wasn’t aware of the deeper background. This was his home, which meant Jinxuan found her and saved her.
"Where’s Jinxuan?"
The nurse was a bit surprised at her direct use of Lu Jinxuan’s name, responding sluggishly, "Master Lu went to the front yard, we don’t know what for."
Everyone had their protocols, Yu Sangwan nodded, asking no further questions.
"Miss Yu, please wait. I’ll get a doctor to check your health and notify the young master."
"Alright."
...
In the front yard, Gong Xueyan attempted to snuggle into Lu Jinxuan’s embrace.
Lu Jinxuan exerted pressure with his palm, controlling her approach. His deep eyes cold and intimidating, "Gong Xueyan, have some self-respect."
"Heh." Gong Xueyan laughed, "What’s wrong? Master Lu, when dancing... you have to be close. Even if you forbid me from touching you, I still did, right? I’ve said, I’ll slowly come closer to you... and claim you!"
Lu Jinxuan’s gaze stayed flat, "Keep approaching, and I’ll dismantle your arm. Wanna try?"
Feeling the force increase, remembering past experiences, Gong Xueyan understood he wasn’t joking. She sensibly refrained from getting closer, "Fine, today we’ll leave it at this. The days are long ahead, we’re not in a hurry, we’ll take our time."
In the dance floor, fragrances mingled with shadows, the music and figures swayed.
An aide approached quietly, finding Lu Jinxuan, whispering in his ear, "Young master..."
Lu Jinxuan’s expression changed slightly, pupils narrowed, he abruptly pulled Gong Xueyan aside and walked away without a word.
"Hey! Lu Jinxuan, where are you going leaving me?" Gong Xueyan stood alone in the middle of the dance floor, watching him leave but unable to say anything. If she yelled now, she’d be embarrassing the Gong Family!
Lu Jinxuan’s steps quickened, yearning to fly to Yu Sangwan’s side at once. "Speak!"
"Yes, after Miss Yu woke up, the doctor conducted a brief examination, currently found nothing, Miss Yu drank water and didn’t choke..."
Entering the vestibule, Lu Jinxuan suddenly halted. Dancing with Gong Xueyan earlier, he had worn some scent... His Wanwan was a little possessor. Lu Jinxuan took off his coat, casually tossing it on the ground, "Dispose of it, I don’t want it!"
"Yes, young master."
The door opened, Lu Jinxuan hurried in, "Wanwan!"
On the central large bed, Yu Sangwan wrapped in blankets, teary-eyed faced the doctor and nurse.
Lu Jinxuan’s temples throbbed, "What’s happened? What did you do to her?"
Yu Sangwan’s tears streamed down, looking so aggrieved...
