Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 1052 - 1049: What Makes You Think I Don’t Have Feelings for You?

She never intended to break up that little couple, and now that Leng Yixing had stopped doing anything despicable, she naturally wouldn’t bring it up again.

She just hoped that those two children could open their hearts soon, so she could finally be at ease.

Lu Jincheng met Leng Shuangshuang the next day, and after a night’s rest, she was evidently much better in spirit.

Li Yan was examining him while she quietly stayed by his side, looking ever so well-behaved.

After the examination, Li Yan said a bunch of things, none of which Lu Jincheng heard. When Li Yan asked if he remembered, he nodded randomly. Anyway, with her there, it didn’t matter if he remembered or not.

Li Yan was extremely helpless and didn’t bother to say anything more. Turning to Leng Shuangshuang, he said, "Shuang’er, you need to rest more and not overexert yourself."

Leng Shuangshuang nodded at him, "Thank you, Uncle Li, I will."

Li Yan, perhaps reminded of something, sighed helplessly and left without looking back.

What kind of thing is this, where one irresponsible parent leaves a pregnant woman to care for an injured person?

As soon as Li Yan left, Lu Jincheng said to Leng Shuangshuang, "Come over, I have something to say to you."

"Oh."

Leng Shuangshuang sat down on the chair by his bed, but her eyes didn’t meet his, "Go ahead, I’m listening."

This demeanor reminded Lu Jincheng of the past, when she was not fond of talking, and he couldn’t quite suppress the anger that surged again within him. He spent quite the effort holding it down.

"Leng Shuangshuang, can we have a proper discussion for once?"

Leng Shuangshuang looked up at him steadily, "Okay."

"I know how shameless this sounds, but I still need to say it: You agreed to marry me, you can’t back out, and you can’t run away again."

"...I never said I would marry you." Although subconsciously she wouldn’t marry anyone else, she didn’t want to marry him just because of the child.

Lu Jincheng pinched the bridge of his nose, "Tell me, why won’t you marry me?"

Why?

She was a normal girl who also wanted to date her beloved, go shopping, and do all those things couples do, to be able to complain to him like a little girl.

But when it came down to it, sometimes she felt she was being unreasonably sensitive. With a child already in the picture, is it too late to talk about these things now?

Leng Shuangshuang shook her head, "You have no feelings for me, forcing us together won’t do anyone any good."

No feelings for her?

Lu Jincheng held back the urge to curse, "Why do you think I have no feelings for you?"

She looked up, "Do you?"

Of course he did!

To him, apart from his mother and sister, she was the only woman who could truly capture his heart.

Lu Jincheng held back again and again, finally giving in, "Leng Shuangshuang, you’re not the only one with feelings; I have them too. Haven’t you noticed my efforts over all these years?"

Leng Shuangshuang pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

"Of course you wouldn’t notice; you only know your own misery, constantly guarding yourself. No matter how good I am to you, you never open up and share your thoughts with me. Do you know how many years I’ve waited for you to open up and talk about your feelings?"

Her feelings?

She internally scoffed. Her only concern was him. How could she speak about such things without being sure of his feelings for her?

Seeing Leng Shuangshuang remain silent, Lu Jincheng felt a fire burning in his chest, desperately seeking an outlet. And he found one— pulling the nearby Leng Shuangshuang into his arms with his long arms, pressing the back of her head with one hand and kissing her directly.
