Chapter 101: 084 Lao Lu truly dotes on his little girl (2 updates)_1

Tang Su’s bright, sparkling eyes, which hadn’t shown a hint of fatigue even after a long day, suddenly misted over.

The initiative and recognition Lu Han showed today had ignited all the enthusiasm in Tang Su’s heart, and that intense love swept over her like a torrential wave.

An author who writes about love once said that in the world of love, the one who loves the deepest becomes the most debased.

Tang Su knew that in her relationship with Lu Han, she was definitely the most debased.

So debased that any slight disturbance would make her think the worst.

For example, the fact that Lu Han didn’t even want to give her a goodnight kiss just now made her subconsciously feel she wasn’t attractive enough.

And now, when Lu Han asked her how long she wanted their relationship to last, she hadn’t considered that the end of a romance could mean not just breaking up, but also marriage.

However, Tang Su was convinced at that moment that Lu Han wanted to break up with her.

Thinking that Lu Han was only at the start and already thinking of when to leave her, Tang Su felt incredibly bitter.

Then, remembering that Lu Han was still waiting, and not wanting to keep him waiting too long, she replied with a heart clouded with ambiguous emotions, "Naturally, the longer, the better."

Before sending that message, Tang Su actually wrote and deleted it several times.

Initially, she wanted to ask him, what does this mean?

She deleted it.

The second line was, do you want to break up now?

But she feared that Lu Han would take the opportunity to agree with a nod, and she would be completely finished.

Happiness that lasted only a day, being forced to end as soon as it began.

Afterward, she tried several beginnings, but after typing just a word or two, Tang Su gave up dejectedly.

In the end, it turned into the seven characters that were sent out.

She didn’t keep Lu Han waiting too long, but Tang Su had gone through so much turmoil; it felt as though she had endured the agony of traversing thousands of mountains and rivers.

"Okay, I know. Go to sleep early. Goodnight. I’m on the early shift tomorrow, I’ll come to Culture Street to have lunch with you," he wrote.

"Mm," Tang Su replied. Thinking about it, afraid that Lu Han would make up some excuse not to come, she added, "Then remember to bring Little Douding over."

"Okay."

After the screen went dark, Tang Su washed her hair but didn’t feel like blow-drying it; her own wild thoughts had completely dampened her mood.

So there she sat, hugging her knees, lost in thoughts for a long time.

On the other side, Lu Han sent a command to the group chat of the three men before going to sleep, "@everyone, don’t let anyone in Beijing know that I’m dating Tang Su for the next three months."

The second message: "If anyone asks me about this a day earlier, then sorry, I can’t keep your secrets either."

Old Tan, who had sobered up with a soup, saw the message and ’tsk-tsked’ while soaking his feet under the watchful eye of his wife Lin Jiaojiao.

Then he pressed the voice key: "I’m saying, Lu, is this all you amount to? Tang Su is still a young girl, and you’ve just started dating. You’re letting her twist you around her finger. Aren’t you afraid she’ll become the second Lin Jiaojiao after marrying you?"

Lin Jiaojiao frowned upon hearing this. What’s wrong with being the second Lin Jiaojiao?

Old Tan found his words quite amusing, didn’t he?

As for what he actually meant, she needed him to explain in detail.

However, based on Lin Jiaojiao’s understanding of Old Tan, she knew all too well how slick this man could be; he could make black seem white and even turn bad things into something alluring.

An insult, after his skewed interpretation, would make you feel like he was praising you.

Lin Jiaojiao thought that she was too young when she met this older man; if she had been a few years older or had encountered a few more slick-talking men, she wouldn’t have been taken in by Old Tan’s glib tongue.

No wonder people nowadays say that women should date more before getting married. Whether or not those relationships are serious doesn’t really matter; what’s important is to gain more experience to avoid being deceived.

Lu Han didn’t reply and immediately put his phone on silent, also setting the group messages to do-not-disturb.

Bai Dingxian, who had safely arrived home, also received the message from Lu Han, "No way, you have to face the parents-in-law with an ugly bride sooner or later, right? Three months? That’s too long, how can you keep it a secret? I’m not good at keeping my mouth shut."

Lu Han still didn’t reply, and then Old Tan saw Bai Dingxian talking about his own blabbermouth and couldn’t help but laugh, directly tagging him, "You know you can’t keep your mouth shut, Xiaobai?"

Bai Dingxian: Xiaobai?

What Xiaobai? Who is Xiaobai?

Did he think he was the Little White Dragon from ’Journey to the West,’ playfully frolicking in the waves?

Finally, in the group chat with the three men, it didn’t take much time for Old Tan and Bai Dingxian to fill up the chat with messages, raising the count to over 99+.

They really could talk.

That evening, after drinking, the alcohol-reeking Old Tan couldn’t get close to his fragrant wife, so Lin Jiaojiao went to the room next door to sleep with Sun Qing.

That girl Sun Qing was actually well-behaved. When she was drunk, she just lay there and slept, making her easy to look after.

However, that was Lin Jiaojiao’s thought in the first half of the night. In the latter half, Lin Jiaojiao was kicked off the bed by Sun Qing, and in the early winter season, she was chilled awake, a first for her in her life.

Looking at Sun Qing sprawled out on the bed, Lin Jiaojiao, clasping her sore waist and suppressing discomfort, covered Sun Qing back with the blanket before she left the guest room.

Luckily, Old Tan was sensible. Without her, he slept with the door unlocked. After Lin Jiaojiao entered, she, with her hair standing on end from the cold, voluntarily snuggled up to Old Tan, her personal radiator.

Feeling the soft warmth in his arms, Old Tan couldn’t believe it at first, but when he opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed his Jiaojiao, he excitedly hugged her tightly, his heart melting into a gooey mess.

He knew that his Jiaojiao was just being polite to the overnight guest. She still couldn’t bear to let him sleep alone in the empty room.

Over the years, the two had never slept apart, and they had long become familiar with each other’s body heat. Without Jiaojiao’s embrace, he was sure to have dark circles under his eyes the next day.

And here she was, coming to find him.

Hehehe—

"Hiss—"

In the darkness, Lin Jiaojiao’s low cry of unbearable pain echoed, and Old Tan instantly sobered up, more effectively than any sobering soup. He turned on the light in the bedroom and saw his little darling Jiaojiao’s face crumpled in pain.

The rugged and tough Old Tan was so heartbroken that his features knotted with concern, "What’s wrong? Where are you hurt?"

Old Tan asked gently, and his hands were exceptionally tender as he examined his wife’s injuries.

Lin Jiaojiao shook her head. "It’s nothing, just a bit chilled and my waist is aching. Let’s sleep, it’s late, and we have to open the shop tomorrow."

"You’re like this, and what shop are we talking about?" Old Tan frowned. It’s not like they were lacking money.

Running the small tavern was just to pass the time for his Jiaojiao, and because she liked seeing him in the kitchen, he enjoyed cooking her favorite dishes for her.

But no matter how hard he tried, like her name, Jiaojiao was slender, delicate, and petite. In this lifetime, he was more than willing to indulge her, pamper her, let her have her way, even if she wanted to shit on his head, he’d still indulge her.

"What exactly happened?" Old Tan persistently pressed, as if he wouldn’t let her sleep if she didn’t clarify the matter.

Unable to resist him, Lin Jiaojiao divulged how Sun Qing had inadvertently kicked her off the bed in the middle of the night, unaware of what she had done. Lin Jiaojiao was a heavy sleeper, unaware that she had been knocked off the bed until the cold woke her up. Otherwise, she might have slept until dawn.

If she had continued to sleep without cover until morning, her back would likely be done for.

"With such a terrible sleeping posture, if I had known, I wouldn’t have taken care of her. From now on, no matter how drunk she gets, we’ll send her back, oh, no, we won’t let her drink too much at our place in the future."

Old Tan muttered to himself before getting out of bed to fetch some pain-relieving oil. After sprinkling a little in his palm, he asked Lin Jiaojiao to turn around and slowly rubbed her back with his scorching hot palm.

Soon, Lin Jiaojiao’s back was no longer cold but increasingly warming up. The heat penetrated from the surface of her skin inward, and before long, the soreness had dissipated significantly.

At least, no matter how she turned, Lin Jiaojiao didn’t need to hiss in pain anymore.

Noticing that Old Tan was only wearing a tank top without any extra covering and considering Hua City’s early morning temperature was just over ten degrees Celsius and very cold,

"Alright, stop rubbing, come up and sleep," Lin Jiaojiao pulled him.

Lin Jiaojiao had very fair skin, while Old Tan’s was dark, a classic combination of white and black. Old Tan’s gaze grew intense, but a few seconds later, he managed to suppress the desire that stirred within him.

He flipped Lin Jiaojiao over and held her in his arms.

Lin Jiaojiao waited a while and found that Old Tan was behaving himself, not being inappropriate or touchy.

She chuckled softly. This old man, he really did love her.

He had just shown a moment of eager desire, but because she was slightly uncomfortable, he was able to control himself.

Being able to entice a man to bring a woman to bed is due to the woman’s charm, but being able to stop himself last minute shows a man’s love for her, a profound love at that.

Indeed, Lin Jiaojiao was also a bit weary and to keep Old Tan from fixating on that matter, she took the initiative to ask about his complaint regarding Doctor Lu being unaccomplished, "Last night, you said Doctor Lu was unaccomplished, what was that about?"

"Ha, that stinker wants us to keep his affair with Tang Su a secret for at least three months?"

"Huh? Why keep it a secret?"

"What else? The young lady wants a longer courtship, not wishing to be bound by marriage so soon. Old Lu really dotes on his young lady. It would be amazing if this could be kept under wraps for a month, and he’s foolishly hoping for three months?"

Lin Jiaojiao: "..."
