Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 1024 - 1021: I Trust Her

Realizing she was likely to fall to the ground again, Leng Shuangshuang instinctively reached out, hoping to grab onto something. With a random grasp, she unexpectedly caught hold of a warm object, which helped her steady herself.

Barely managing to stabilize her body, Leng Shuangshuang immediately let go, only to be pulled into a warm embrace. In an instant, the familiar scent reached her, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Before she could say anything, she heard Han Shiwen’s voice, delicate and sweet, worlds apart from the menacing tone from earlier.

"Jinchen, why are you here?"

A smile was plastered across Han Shiwen’s face, but her hands behind her were clenched into fists.

Hearing and seeing bring about completely different sensations; upon hearing it, there was jealousy, but laced with a bit of optimistic denial since she had known Lu Jincheng for so long and had never seen him get close to any woman.

But now, witnessing Lu Jincheng holding Leng Shuangshuang with her own eyes, every cell in her body clamored to tear Leng Shuangshuang apart.

Leng Shuangshuang didn’t respond after hearing Han Shiwen’s voice; she recognized Lu Jincheng by his scent, but at that moment, her head was spinning, and she didn’t want to speak.

Seeing that Lu Jincheng didn’t respond, Han Shiwen felt a twinge of panic. This was a corner, and she had no idea if Lu Jincheng had overheard her prior words.

If he heard... Han Shiwen dared not continue the thought.

She tried to maintain a normal expression, smiling as she said, "Jinchen, I was just about to go to the company to find you and happened to pass by here when I met Miss Leng, so we chatted for a bit."

Having finished, she felt a chill envelop her and instinctively took a step back.

Immediately afterward, she heard Lu Jincheng’s voice, devoid of warmth, ask, "Is that so?"

Startled, Han Shiwen nodded immediately, "Yes, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Miss Leng." As she finished speaking, she looked at Leng Shuangshuang.

She dared to say this because she was certain Leng Shuangshuang wouldn’t speak recklessly in front of Lu Jincheng, just as before, when she would bear grievances on her own.

However, before she could revel in her triumph, Leng Shuangshuang coolly spoke up, "Miss Han, I think you’ve got it wrong. It was you who brought two men over, attempting to harass me. Do your words now do justice to your conscience?"

What is conscience?

Han Shiwen sneered inwardly, though outwardly she was in shock, "Miss Leng, you mustn’t wrong me. How could I possibly do such things? Besides, Jinchen wouldn’t believe I’d do such things, right, Jinchen?"

"I believe her."

"What?" Han Shiwen thought she was hearing things.

Leng Shuangshuang, equally astonished, stayed within his embrace, her back against his chest. She could even feel the vibration of his chest as he spoke.

For the first time, Lu Jincheng repeated, "I believe her."

"..."

Seeing Han Shiwen struck speechless, the corners of Leng Shuangshuang’s lips curved slightly upward. In a place where no one could see, a large section of the wall around her heart crumbled.

From childhood, she had been accustomed to bearing her heart’s burdens alone, never relying actively on anyone aside from herself, including her parents. But now, she suddenly discovered how good it felt to rely on someone.

So this is what it feels like to be unconditionally trusted by the one you love.

Han Shiwen’s eyes widened as she stared at the couple embracing each other, rendered completely speechless.
