Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Wise Major (Chapters 147 and 148 Combined)

Zhuang Shuqing felt this sleep was especially exhausting; it seemed there were flies buzzing around her, persistently bothering her and impossible to drive away.

Not until her hands were bound did she sense something was amiss.

Barely opening her eyes, a blurry figure appeared before her. Zhuang Shuqing cracked a slight smile, letting him continue to hold onto her wrists.

"It’s you... Can you... let go? I... I really want to sleep."

Lu Jinyang’s intention had always been to wake her up. Now that she was awake, there was no way he would let her sleep peacefully.

Thus, the next second, he abruptly pulled her up from the bed and coldly said close to her face, "Take a bath before sleeping."

"A bath?" Zhuang Shuqing tried hard to lift her eyelids, but they kept drooping down relentlessly, "No... no need to bathe, you’re not sleeping with me anyway."

Hearing this, Lu Jinyang’s lips twitched fiercely. He indeed wanted to sleep with her, but he didn’t want to force anyone against their will.

Seeing Zhuang Shuqing in a dazed state, a mischievous thought suddenly crossed his mind...

After the kiss, Zhuang Shuqing protested discontentedly, "You... don’t block my air."

Seeing this, Lu Jinyang’s eyes narrowed dangerously; this little woman had no idea how alluring she was at this moment.

He really wanted to fully wake her up and deal with it!

Thinking so, he did just that.

He carries her to the bathroom horizontally, quickly removes the barriers on her body, then stuffs her under the showerhead and turns on the cold water, showing no mercy or tenderness.

Zhuang Shuqing was jolted awake by the cold.

She hugged herself, shivering, and looked up unknowingly at the tall man in front of her.

"Finally awake?"

"I... what are you doing?"

Her head throbbing fiercely, Zhuang Shuqing recoiled in fear, trembling violently as she leaned against the cold wall.

How did she end up in the bathroom?

Here, Lu Jinyang was down to his last piece of clothing. Zhuang Shuqing stood up in shock, ignoring her own condition, grabbing his hand to stop him from moving.

He raised an eyebrow, taking an amused look at her, "What, you want to help me?"

"No, not that, can’t you wait for me to finish showering before you do?"

"I can’t."

"Why not? It’s obvious I came first to prepare for the bath, you can’t be so unreasonable."

Lu Jinyang suddenly laughed, a laugh that was heartfelt, "You tell me, when someone stands naked in front of me trying to argue a point, what should my reaction be?"

This was the first time Zhuang Shuqing saw him laugh like this and was momentarily at a loss, forgetting to react. She shook her groggy head and tenderly touched his handsome face, "You’re really good-looking."

"You like it?"

"Yeah, I like it."

Zhuang Shuqing, entranced by the handsome man, didn’t realize the man was now so close that if she pouted, she could touch him.

"Would you like to try if it tastes good?"

Zhuang Shuqing: "..."

After who knows how long, Lu Jinyang felt the woman in his arms was continuously trembling. He quickly left her side, cursed softly, wrapped her in a towel, and carried her back to bed, covering her with a blanket.

Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number...

"Hello~"

After hanging up, Lu Jinyang turned around and noticed that Zhuang Shuqing’s hair was still wet. He was annoyed with himself, returned to the bathroom to get dressed, and started drying her hair with a hairdryer...

On the way to Jinxiu Garden, Li Yan thought that he must have owed something to both father and son Lu Jinyang in a past life.

One stubbornly refused to go to the hospital, while the other faked fainting and took trips to the hospital from time to time. Initially, his mind must have been out of whack to have signed a family doctor contract with the Lu Family father and son. If this kept up, having been interrupted so many times, he would no longer need to sleep hugging his wife.

Arriving at Lu Jinyang’s home, Li Yan saw the woman covered with two quilts on the bed and looked at the indifferent-faced man. He held back, but couldn’t resist, and yelled at Lu Jinyang, "If you want to murder someone, just kill them directly, why cover them with two blankets indefinitely?"

After saying this, he stepped forward to pull off a quilt, grumbling, "It’s a miracle she hasn’t been cooked alive by you."

The room’s air conditioning was off, and the windows were tightly shut, making one sweat just by standing in the room, and this brilliant Major would still give someone two cotton blankets!

Lu Jinyang’s face turned from dark to even darker, "She said she was cold."

Li Yan: "..."

Without the patience to deal with him, Li Yan began examining Zhuang Shuqing. Soon, his brows furrowed, "Is she drunk? Why is her body so cold..."

After the examination, Li Yan glared at Lu Jinyang with annoyance, "I’m saying, Major Lu, it was enough for you to take a cold shower alone. Did you really need to drag someone who’s drunk and unconscious to join you? Do you have any shame?"

Lu Jinyang listened to Li Yan’s lecture expressionlessly, his deep eyes flashing with a complex emotion. He asked Li Yan, "Is she alright?"

"Yes, she’s fine, but she would have been smothered by you if I had arrived a moment later."

It looked like his guess was right; Lu Jinyang indeed dragged her to take a cold shower to sober up, instantly leaving him speechless.

Then, under his astonished gaze, the resolute and decisive Major Lu turned his face away out of guilt, "If she’s fine, you can go back now."

Li Yan: "..." So his trip was in vain?

Li Yan lost his temper, packed up his things, and left. It was the first time in history he had lost his temper with his benefactor, driven by a mixture of dissatisfaction and pent-up anger to act out.

Sigh~

Men...

Waking up in the early morning, Zhuang Shuqing rubbed her swollen temples without opening her eyes. After a while, she finally opened her eyes and realized she hadn’t slept on the floor again last night.

With the experience from last time, she was much calmer this time.

Lu Jinyang was nowhere to be seen in the room, presumably he had already gotten up.

As if remembering something, Zhuang Shuqing’s face turned pale, and she lifted the quilt to check, finding herself already changed into pajamas.

She remembered drinking with Qin Huaixin, and then...

At this thought, her face, pale to begin with, turned even whiter.

She got out of bed, found her phone, and made a call to Qin Huaixin. As soon as the call connected, Zhuang Shuqing immediately asked, "Qin Huaixin, how did you get home last night?"

Qin Huaixin was also a bit confused; she had had quite a few beers last night, and if it weren’t for this phone call, she wouldn’t know when she would have woken up.

"I... didn’t you take me home?"

"What the hell! Qin Huaixin, I remember passing out before you did. Think carefully, what happened after that, and where are you now?"

Qin Huaixin felt perplexed by her words, "I am at home now. What’s the matter, aren’t you at home?"

Zhuang Shuqing’s temple vein throbbed, "I am, the problem is, we both blacked out, so how did you get home?"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Huaixin finally tuned into the same frequency, falling silent for a moment before speaking into the phone, "I’ll call you back later."
