Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 492 - 490: Or do you have another man now? ( - s 489 and 490 Combined)

Little Treasure covered his mouth and snickered, while Big Treasure slightly curved his lips into a smile, looking exactly like Lu Jinyang.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing couldn’t help but marvel at the strength of genetics.

Upon returning to the Lu Mansion, Ye Han and Lu Zhiyuan had the chef prepare a delicious meal of light dishes early on, with flavors that were both good and distinctive, much to Xiao Qing’s liking, so much so that she accidentally ate two bowls of rice.

Just as she reached for another bowl for Nanny Zhang, her hand was stopped by a larger one.

Xiao Qing looked at the owner of the hand, puzzled. "I’m still hungry."

"Even if you’re hungry, you can’t eat too much at once."

Xiao Qing: "..."

She turned her gaze to Ye Han, but to her surprise, the usually encouraging Ye Han pretended not to see her pleading eyes and kept on serving vegetables to Big Treasure and Little Treasure.

She: "..."

Sigh! If I can’t eat, then so be it. The main thing is that the food is so delicious and eating more won’t make me fat. But they won’t let me have more, so there’s nothing I can do.

After dinner, Lu Jinyang led Xiao Qing back to the room.

At the entrance of the bathroom, Xiao Qing felt awkward watching Lu Jinyang filling the tub with water.

"Hey, you can leave after the bath is drawn," she said.

Lu Jinyang ignored her, tested the water temperature, and then extended his hand towards her, "Come here."

Xiao Qing looked at Lu Jinyang with caution, "What are you trying to do? I’m still a patient." She didn’t know why, but she suddenly remembered what Li Yan said and her face turned slightly red.

"If you don’t come over, I’ll come to you..."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Qing chickened out.

She moved closer step by step, each step as slow as a snail could be, but no matter how slow she was, the expression on Lu Jinyang’s face didn’t change; he patiently waited for her to come over.

Finally, Xiao Qing reached the tub and looked at the water inside. She then said, "That’s enough, you can go out now, I’ll get up after soaking for a while."

Who knew that Lu Jinyang would frown and say, "Who told you I’m giving you a bath?"

Xiao Qing was puzzled. If not to give her a bath, then why was he drawing so much water?

"Drawing this much water is convenient for wiping your body," he explained.

Xiao Qing: "!!!" In such hot weather, she can’t bathe, only wipe her body???

His gaze rested on her abdomen.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked.

"Not much, the nurse said the wound isn’t very big and should heal quickly."

"Hmm," Lu Jinyang retracted his gaze, dabbing water on her little by little, careful not to let a drop touch the wound area~

Halfway through the wash, Xiao Qing simply let go and relaxed, allowing Lu Jinyang to wash her more easily. It was at this moment she noticed Lu Jinyang was already sweating profusely.

"Are you very hot? Is the air conditioning set too high?" she asked.

Lu Jinyang’s forehead vein twitched with restrained irritation, probably only this woman was unaware of how criminally attractive her figure was.

Lu Jinyang didn’t speak but quickly finished the final step, put a nightgown on her, and said, "Go lie on the bed, remember, small movements, don’t press on the wound."

Xiao Qing wished to leave his sight immediately. She obediently walked out of the bathroom after hearing his words, and the sound of the door closing followed behind her. She looked back and saw the bathroom door was shut again, with the sound of water coming from inside.

She pouted; life without being able to take a bath or a shower was really tough.

She got startled when the mobile phone on the nightstand suddenly rang as she approached the bed. It was her phone, and the caller ID showed Xiao Anze’s name, who hadn’t replied to her calls for a few days.

"President Xiao, you’ve finally remembered to return my call~"

On the other end of the line, Xiao Anze sounded somewhat helpless, "Sorry, I was on a flight when you called, and as soon as I landed, I’ve been dealing with matters non-stop until I remembered just now that I haven’t called you back."

Xiao Qing scoffed, "An explanation is just a disguise."

Xiao Anze laughed, but his laughter sounded different from usual, although she couldn’t immediately tell what was different.

"Brother, have you encountered some trouble?"

"No. By the way, I’m back in the United States now. Yang Qiao came back with me. There’s been an accumulation of things to handle recently, so I might have less time to contact you guys."

Xiao Qing expressed her understanding of this issue.

Emperor Entertainment is such a large entertainment company, the complications of which are beyond her imagination. Every time she steps into the executive level, she feels uncomfortable, as if the life is sucked out of the place.

"Alright, just let mom and dad know, and I’ll bring the kids over to see them when I’m free."

"Hmm. How is that man treating you?"

Xiao Qing paused, "Are you talking about Lu Jinyang?"

"Or do you have other men at the moment?"

She was flustered; was this really her own brother? Talking to him was like talking to an enemy, often leaving her feeling embarrassed.

"He is the father of the children, and from what I can see, he probably treats me well."

If Tan Biyang or Lin Xiaoxiao heard this, they would definitely be so mad that one of them would have to be hospitalized.

Treats you well?

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Lu Jinyang is completely accommodating and careful with all his arrangements for you, and all you say is he probably treats you well?

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and after a while, Xiao Anze’s voice came through, "As long as he’s good to you and Big Treasure and Little Treasure, that’s all that matters."

After finishing his sentence, there was a burst of noisy sound from the other end. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Anze said, "Let’s leave it at that, take good care of you and the children."

"Wait, brother, you absolutely must not tell mom and dad that I still have two years left on my contract."

"Alright."

Beep beep beep~

Fortunately, she said that before the call ended, otherwise, she had every reason to believe that Xiao Anze would tell their parents, and then their parents would fly over to the Empire to take her and the children back...

Every time she thought about it, Xiao Qing’s head ached terribly. Luckily, neither she nor her brother had inherited their parents’ impulsive nature of acting on a whim, right?

After hanging up the phone, she lay on the bed and carefully turned over several times, noticing that there was still the sound of water from the bathroom. She looked at the ceiling speechlessly; having been in for over half an hour, this kind of washing would damage even the best skin.

Just as Xiao Qing was about to fall asleep, the bathroom door finally opened. She jerked awake and subconsciously looked over.

The man was wrapped in an oversized bath towel and wore nothing else.

Seeing the man walk towards the walk-in closet, she remembered that this was their new room, which had been tidied up already.

Lu Jinyang quickly came out of the walk-in closet. From Xiao Qing’s perspective, it seemed as if he hadn’t done anything in the closet because he still wore only a bath towel; what was under the towel, if anything was added or missing... only he would know.

"Why aren’t you sleeping yet, hm?"

"I slept a bit too much in the hospital, can’t fall asleep now."
