Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 541 - 539: At Least Ask for My Husband’s Permission

Xiao Qing observed the expressions of those around her indifferently, the smile at the corners of her lips growing wider and wider.

Meanwhile, Leng Wanxi was furious, "Xiao Qing, it’s none of your business! Just wait, wait till I am acquitted, and we will compete fairly!"

"Shut your mouth!"

A thunderous roar echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone turned toward the source of the sound and saw Lu Xiao standing at the second-floor railing, glaring at Leng Wanxi as if flames could shoot from his eyes.

Leng Wanxi looked at the man descending the stairs, and an inexplicable fear rose in her heart.

She wasn’t afraid when facing Lu Jinyang just now, but for some reason, she was terrified of really falling out with Lu Xiao.

That’s right!

She knew it was because Lu Xiao knew many of her secrets that no one else knew, and each secret would prevent her from walking under the sun.

Leng Wanxi began to panic.

Lu Xiao walked over, stopped in front of Lu Jinyang, and called out, "Brother~"

Then he nodded towards Xiao Qing but did not call her "sister-in-law".

Afterwards, he said to the police officer in uniform, "Officer, what crime did this woman commit that requires taking her back to the police station?"

Despite the presence of dozens of police officers, not a single one answered his question.

Lu Xiao was not flustered and turned to Lu Jinyang, "Brother, what crime has Leng Wanxi committed that warrants such a deployment?"

"Kidnapping."

The two light words drifted from Lu Jinyang’s mouth. Lu Xiao inhaled sharply, then shook his head, "She couldn’t have done such a thing; you must have made a mistake."

Made a mistake?

Xiao Qing’s mouth twitched but she did not speak.

She looked around the room and spotted a camera in a corner. After confirming the angle it could capture, she smirked.

"Lu Xiao, have you been home all day today?"

Lu Xiao paused, unsure why she was asking this, but if he answered that he had just returned, he could not hide the fact that he and Leng Wanxi were partners.

What should he do then?

As he was pondering, Leng Wanxi suddenly spoke up.

"Lu Xiao didn’t go to the company today. He wasn’t feeling well, so he stayed at home to rest."

Xiao Qing glanced at her, "I didn’t ask you."

Leng Wanxi’s face turned awkward, and seeing Lu Xiao looking as if he was about to devour her, she dared not speak again.

"Lu Xiao, you say it."

Lu Xiao, hands in his pockets, glanced indifferently at Xiao Qing and said, "I indeed rested at home today, but only after returning from the company." He paused, not giving Xiao Qing a chance to speak further, and said to Lu Jinyang, "Didn’t you say she committed kidnapping? Just take her away."

This time, Leng Wanxi was surprised.

As she was about to be taken away, she immediately said, "Lu Xiao, you have to bail me out, you must..."

Before she could fully see the expression on Lu Xiao’s face, she was forcibly taken outside and put into a police car.

Inside the house, Lu Jinyang said to Xiao Qing, "Let’s go."

"Wait~" Lu Xiao walked up to them blocking their way, "Do you really intend not to let Leng Wanxi off?"

Xiao Qing looked at him inquisitively, "Lu Xiao, she’s your wife. Shouldn’t you be saying something else?"

Lu Xiao smiled, "Then how do you think I should put it?"

"At least you should be asking my husband."

Lu Jinyang found Xiao Qing’s repeated referencing to him as her husband very pleasing. However, when Lu Xiao looked over, he took Xiao Qing by the hand and walked away.
