Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 556 - 554 ( - s 552, 553, and 554 Combined)

He hung up the phone, getting ready to take out the keys, when the door opened by itself.

Qin Huaixin stood behind the door in her pajamas, and seeing him staring blankly at her, she said irritably: "Well, aren’t you coming in?"

"Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?"

Closing the door, Leng Yixing placed the items in his hand on the coffee table and leaned tiredly against the sofa.

"Shuang’er went to bed late today. I just took a bath and heard some noise outside, so I came to check." She handed him a glass of water, "Have some water and go take a bath."

"Mm."

Leng Yixing gulped down the water in one go, and Qin Huaixin took the empty glass from him, saying, "You’ve been having a hard time these past few days, right? I saw today that Lin Xiaoxiao is stirring up trouble again."

Lin Xiaoxiao?

Leng Yixing frowned, "Is it related to Jinyang and the others?"

Thinking of today’s events made Qin Huaixin furious.

"You have no idea, the shamelessness Lin Xiaoxiao has shown has set a new historical record." Qin Huaixin recounted the news to him, and at the end, she said, "Only that kind of woman could do such a thing."

Leng Yixing suddenly understood; it must be that Lu Jinyang knew about this and was in a hurry to have him handle Lin Xiaoxiao’s matter.

"Lin Xiaoxiao won’t be able to jump around for much longer."

"Is President Lu going to make a move?"

Leng Yixing looked at her excited little face with amusement, "Mm, he has wanted to deal with Lin Xiaoxiao for a while, but an unexpected Leng Wanxi disrupted the original plans."

Qin Huaixin let out a sigh, "Tell me, why are these women so shameless? Oh right, and Tan Biyang, it’s also fortunate that Qingqing doesn’t remember the past, otherwise it would feel so suffocating."

"Alright, you’re always worrying about things. Let’s go, take a bath and go to bed."

He was about to get up when suddenly he was pushed back down with force; the suddenness of it nearly caused him to strain his back.

Leng Yixing was about to scold her, when he felt a warm sensation on his lips—it was Qin Huaixin kissing him.

For five years, Qin Huaixin had never once made a move on him. Today was the first.

With that thought, Leng Yixing couldn’t hide his excitement, and his weariness vanished in an instant.

However, Qin Huaixin quickly let go of him and said, "Husband, thankfully there are no other women around you, otherwise I could get depression."

Leng Yixing: "..."

This mood-killer of a wife~

He scowled, scooped Qin Huaixin up and headed toward the room, carrying her straight into the bathroom.

"I’ve just taken a bath~"

"Another one then."

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

After the car came to a halt, a man got out and headed straight inside.

Perhaps everything had been arranged in advance, as the man went through without any obstructions, finally stopping at a room similar to an interrogation room.

He hadn’t been there long when two people approached, one in uniform and the other was Leng Wanxi.

Leng Wanxi was slightly taken aback when she saw the visitor, then she casually took a seat opposite him.

"I really didn’t expect the first person to come see me would be you, Lu Xiao."

Lu Xiao, upon hearing her words, didn’t show any particular reaction, he said, "If you want to stay alive, watch your mouth."

Hearing this, Leng Wanxi was at first stunned, then she scoffed.

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

"Is there a difference?"

"Heh heh~ I think there is. I’m already in here, with nothing to lose. What’s that saying? ’A barefoot person is not afraid of someone with shoes.’"

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

"Stop pretending, Lu Xiao, our dealings started five years ago, you might not remember, but I remember it very clearly."

Lu Xiao’s face turned incredibly grim, and he lowly hissed, "Shut your mouth!"

Seeing Lu Xiao so nervous, Leng Wanxi became even less afraid. She crossed her arms and leaned back in the chair, "We are in the same boat now. If I can’t gain my freedom, don’t expect to live freely yourself."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The two people just sat there, staring at each other.

Lu Xiao gripped the hand by his side until his knuckles turned white. After a long while, he stood up and left with the words, "You wait," then he turned and walked away.

Once he was gone, Leng Wanxi slumped in her chair as if all the strength had been drained out of her body. Heaven knows how scared she was that Lu Xiao might just walk away like that.

With the power of the Lu Family, it wouldn’t be difficult for Lu Xiao to get himself acquitted. After all, this matter wasn’t directly related to him, but if it involved the accident from five years ago...

Leng Wanxi knew she had made the right bet!

Xiao Qing got up before Lu Jinyang woke up for the first time in ages.

After cooking breakfast, she was about to call them to eat when she saw Lu Jinyang coming out of his room.

"Breakfast is ready. You go eat first; I’ll go wake up Dabao and Xiaobao."

She turned around, and his large hand caught her wrist. Xiao Qing turned back, looking at him with confusion.

He said, "I plan to have a press conference this afternoon. Would you be willing to appear in public with the kids?" He felt this was the fastest and best way to handle this situation.

Besides, firstly, it would let everyone know that Lu Jinyang’s wife was not dead, and secondly, it might lure out the person who placed the contraceptive ring in Xiao Qing’s belly.

However, doing this would also prompt many people to act recklessly.

At first, Xiao Qing thought she had heard wrong. It wasn’t until he repeated himself that she realized he was seeking her opinion, and she couldn’t help but feel amused and frustrated at the same time.

She sighed, "Do you really intend to hide the three of us for a lifetime?"

"That’s not what I meant. I’m just worried you wouldn’t want to expose the children..."

Xiao Qing suddenly laughed, "That’s not a problem at all. Go ask those two little guys what they think; let them decide for themselves."

"What about you?" he asked earnestly.

"What about me?" She seemed to think of something, then feigned anger, "Don’t tell me you really want Lin Xiaoxiao to take my place?"

Lu Jinyang paused slightly, then turned and went towards the children’s room.

Out of his sight, Xiao Qing smiled silently.

In the end, Dabao and Xiaobao decided to accompany Daddy and Mommy to the press conference. Their rationale was: they wanted all the children to know they had found their Daddy.

Hospital, Lin Xiaoxiao’s ward.

Lin Xiaoxiao knocked over the food handed over by the caretaker and shouted angrily, "What are you saying? I can’t go home yet? Dad, why not?"

Hadn’t it been said that she would be released without charges? Why is it now said that she has to cooperate with the investigation and cannot be freed from surveillance?

Lin Kaixiong was also furious, "It was people sent by Director Zhao who said it. They said the new evidence provided by Lu Jinyang entirely proves that you committed premeditated murder."

"Premeditated... murder?"

Lin Xiaoxiao felt cold from her head down to her feet.

"Dad, tell me that Jinyang is not doing this to me..."

Lin Kaixiong had been holding back his rage from the moment he received the news, not wanting to explode in front of his daughter, but now...

He took Lin Xiaoxiao to the door, where two plain-clothes individuals stood. As they came out, the men immediately watched the father and daughter duo with wary eyes.

Lin Xiaoxiao gaped at the two men in front of her, unable to organize her words before Lin Kaixiong pulled her back into the ward.

"See that? The people who were withdrawn two days ago are back now. You’ve been calling Jinyang ’brother’ for so many years; what does he think of you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao bit her lip and did not speak.

Lin Kaixiong continued, "It seems he is not going to let this go. Xiaoxiao, if he is not willing to let you off, I won’t let him have it easy either!" With those words, a fierce look flashed across his brow.

Lin Xiaoxiao had seen many expressions on Lin Kaixiong’s face before, but she had never seen this kind of expression. She shuddered inexplicably and called out in a soft voice, "Dad~"

"Xiaoxiao, don’t worry, he can’t possibly have any evidence! You didn’t do anything, you were injured, and even suffered a car accident that nearly cost you your life; daddy won’t let you be wronged!" Lin Kaixiong said resolutely.

However, his words inadvertently made Lin Xiaoxiao tremble uncontrollably.

She hadn’t done nothing!

Before she slit her wrists, the knife in her hand was aimed at that woman~ and the car accident occurred because she saw a car coming and intentionally ran out into it...
