Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 555 - 553 Our Scheme Began Five Years Ago

She flung her clothes onto the rack and before she could turn around, her body was suddenly lifted into the air. Her back pressed against the cool wall, while the shower was still running, the warm water cascaded over her body, creating a stark contrast with the chill at her back.

"Husband~"

"Mm~ I’m here..."

"Leng..."

As the words fell, Qin Huaixin felt herself spun 180 degrees, then saw the wall before her eyes. She looked at Leng Yixing in astonishment, "Aren’t you... cold?"

"You don’t get cold when you’re exercising."

As he spoke, a torrent of kisses descended, sweeping across her neck and pausing at those proud peaks...

-------------------

After a satisfying bout of exercise, Qin Huaixin was laid upon the soft, large bed. Swiftly thereafter, the man’s strong and sturdy body covered her.

Qin Huaixin’s hands roamed across the man’s body, filled with affection.

In those five years, he barely worked out, yet his body remained as fit as it had been five years ago, which made her even more fascinated by him.

Leng Yixing grabbed her restless hands, and with a husky voice, asked, "Tired?"

"Not tired."

Upon hearing this, he chuckled lowly, bending down to plant tender kisses, one by one, upon her cheeks, "Let me enjoy myself thoroughly tonight, okay?"

Qin Huaixin’s cheeks flushed red at his words; she knew that if she let him have his way, she might not be able to get up early the next day. Yet, meeting his deep and dark eyes, she found herself inadvertently nodding.

"But you have things to do tomorrow..."

His reply was nothing but his madness and heat...

Late at night, a luxury car drove into the detention center.

After the car parked, a man got out and walked straight inside.

Perhaps everything had been prearranged, as the man encountered no obstacles along the way, finally stopping at a room resembling an interrogation chamber.

He had just sat down when two people approached, one in uniform, and the other was Leng Wanxi.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Leng Wanxi was slightly taken aback, then nonchalantly seated herself opposite him.

"I never expected you to be the first to visit me, Lu Xiao."

Lu Xiao didn’t show much reaction to her remark as he said, "If you want to stay alive, keep your mouth shut."

Leng Wanxi was surprised at first, then let out a cold laugh.

"Lu Xiao, Young Master Lu, are you here to warn me or to threaten me?"

"Is there a difference?"

"Heh~ I think there is. I’m already in here, with nothing to lose. What’s that saying? The one who has nothing to lose doesn’t fear those with something to lose."

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending, Lu Xiao. Our dealings began five years ago. You may not remember, but I certainly remember it all very clearly."

Lu Xiao’s face grew extremely dark as he scolded in a low voice, "Shut up!"

Seeing Lu Xiao so nervous made Leng Wanxi even more fearless. She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back in her chair, "We’re in the same boat now. If I can’t gain my freedom, don’t expect to live freely either."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Both of them sat there, looking at each other.

Lu Xiao clenched his hands at his side, knuckles turning white. After a long while, he stood up, leaving behind the words "Just wait," and turned to leave.

No sooner had he left, Leng Wanxi collapsed into the chair as if all her strength had been drained. Heaven knows how afraid she was that Lu Xiao would just walk away like that.

Given the Lu Family’s influence, it wouldn’t be too hard for Lu Xiao to wriggle out of the charges against him, considering this matter wasn’t closely related to him. However, if it was tied back to the incident from five years ago...

Leng Wanxi knew she had gambled correctly!
