Chapter 583 - 581: Struggling with All One’s Might
Xiao Qing had no idea that a casual remark she made would stick with Lu Jinyang for a lifetime, worrying her that he might one day drive into something just to get her to wear that kind of outfit.
She thought such a comment would make him give up.
But unexpectedly, instead of giving up, he retorted, "Then don’t wear anything at all."
Because of that, Xiao Qing spent the entire night in a daze, unsure of where she was or where she was heading.
Before she totally passed out, a scene suddenly flashed before her: She and Qin Huaixin were sitting in a cafe, and though she couldn’t recall what Qin Huaixin had said, the last few words echoed in her ears: Well-endowed and skilled!
That sleep took her straight through to the next afternoon.
What roused her were the delicious smells of food.
Sitting up in bed, she lazily rubbed her cheering stomach, glanced at the open door, and instantly realized that Lu Jinyang had done this on purpose.
With no choice but to get up, Xiao Qing rose from bed.
If she remembered correctly, there was a flight to the United States tonight.
After freshening up and changing her clothes, she walked out just in time to see Lu Jinyang bringing a scrumptious-looking meal to the table, and she followed him without a second thought.
"Lu Jinyang, I’m so hungry I could die. Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?"
Lu Jinyang set down his plate, glanced at her and said, "I did call you, but you didn’t respond."
"Alright... it’s all your fault anyway, if you hadn’t kept going at it, I wouldn’t be this hungry so soon~"
The man gave her a sidelong glance, "Soon? It’s not soon; it’s three in the afternoon."
What!
She’d slept from last night to three in the afternoon?!!!
Xiao Qing staggered, almost losing her balance, but thankfully, Lu Jinyang caught her and smoothly sat her down on his lap.
"What’s wrong?" he asked.
Silent, she allowed herself to be held by him, shooting him occasional reproachful glances.
After counting seriously, damn it, she had actually slept a full twelve hours!
Xiao Qing felt her lifetime of prudence and wisdom had been ruined by Lu Jinyang. She was like a woman indulging in excess, with no distinction between day and night.
Thinking this, she sighed repeatedly, truly hoping it wasn’t her fondness for attractive men that led to this situation.
"Eat something first; we can’t be too late heading out."
Lu Jinyang’s voice drifted to her ear, snapping Xiao Qing back to reality, reminding her of tonight’s trip to the United States.
She attempted to get up from him, but her legs gave out, sending her right back onto his lap. As she sat down, she heard Lu Jinyang grunt softly, which frightened her into bouncing onto the nearby chair.
Turning around, she saw the man behind her casually starting to eat, as if the person who just reacted wasn’t him at all.
Seeing he had no intentions of pouncing on her, Xiao Qing dared to start her own meal. Eating ravenously, her appetite was awakened, and unprecedentedly, she consumed three large bowls, out-eating even Lu Jinyang.
She was cheerful while eating, but on the ride to the airport, Xiao Qing kept rubbing her belly non-stop. It wasn’t until after the hours-long flight that she started to feel better upon landing.
Xiao Qing hadn’t informed anyone of her return to the United States, but Lu Jinyang had.
Their ride was organized by Peng Yi, who had also come to the United States with them. No threats loomed back home—Leng Yixing and Gu Chen could handle things there.
In the car, Xiao Qing asked Lu Jinyang, "Where are we headed now?"
