Gentle to the Bone - Chapter 31

The room seemed to suddenly become silent.

Lu Jingce looked at Shen Yansheng, and for a few seconds, he even suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.

Seeing that Lu Jingce kept staring at her, Shen Yansheng didn’t speak, her heartbeat quickened, and her face flushed unconsciously.

She wanted to leave, but she was about to turn around when Lu Jingce grabbed her. She turned to look at him, her pale cheeks were flushed, and Lu Jingce’s eyes were obviously smiling. Her heart beat faster, and she asked dryly. : “Do what?”

Lu Jingce took her hand, looked at her with an obvious happy smile, and said, “What did you just say? Say it again?”

Seeing Lu Jingce like this, Shen Yansheng knew that she was deliberately teasing her. She wanted to pull her hand away, but Lu Jingce held her back, looked at her with a half-smile, and insisted on forcing her to say it again.

She blushed for a while, stared at Lu Jingce for a long time, and couldn’t help but ask, “Then I’ll ask you a question too.”

Lu Jingce looked at her frankly and said, “You ask.”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lower lip lightly, watching Lu Jingce be silent for a while. When he spoke again, his expression and tone became very serious, and he asked, “Why do you want to save me?”

Lu Jingce’s right hand was broken, and when he rushed over to protect her, he supported her on the seat with his right hand to prevent her body from being squeezed and hit.

The reason why she was only slightly injured was because Lu Jingce used his body to help her block most of the impacts.

She suddenly wanted to know why Lu Jingce chose to protect her when her life was at stake.

She looked at Lu Jingce nervously.

Lu Jingce also looked at her. He didn’t seem to need to think about it. He just said it normally, looking at her with a smile in his eyes, and said, “Why else? I love you.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help being stunned when she heard the words. She looked at Lu Jingce and didn’t know why. Maybe Lu Jingce said it too lightly, which made her wonder if he was teasing her.

Does he really love her?

But if you don’t love her, why save her?

Regarding this question, Shen Yansheng thought about it all night but couldn’t come up with a result, and she didn’t want to ask any more. Since Lu Jingce said he loves her, she took it seriously.

Having come this far with Lu Jingce, some things are true and false, and she no longer cares.

Although Lu Jingce woke up and his body was slowly recovering, after all, when he was sent to the hospital, his body was covered in blood, and he almost couldn’t be saved. So in the process of physical recovery, you still have to bear some pain.

But he would not show it in front of Shen Yansheng, and sometimes the pain was unbearable, and he would only call the doctor to give him painkillers when Shen Yansheng was not around.

This afternoon, Shen Yansheng took advantage of Xie Rin to come to see Lu Jingce, and went out to buy him a birthday present. But she had already thought about what to buy for Lu Jingce in advance, so she took a taxi directly to the mall when she went out, and immediately took a taxi back to the hospital after buying the gift.

Lu Jingce probably didn’t expect her to come back so soon. When he was about to reach the door of the ward, he suddenly saw Dr. Liang and the nurse hurried into the ward.

She was startled, thinking that something had happened to Lu Jingce, her face instantly lost the color of blood, and she ran to the ward weakly.

In the ward, Lu Jingce’s fractured right arm was in unbearable pain, and while Shen Yansheng was away, he called the doctor to give him painkillers.

He was sitting on the head of the bed, his forehead sweating from the pain. Xie Rin watched from the side, his handsome brows were knitted tightly, and he said, “You can really bear it. If Shen Yansheng doesn’t leave, are you going to keep going like this?”

Lu Jingce didn’t have the strength to speak, he closed his eyes and leaned against the head of the bed, his face pale because of the pain. Although there is no very painful expression, the cold sweat on his forehead shows that he is in so much pain that he can’t bear it anymore.

Xie Rin knew Lu Jingce. He was not in such unbearable pain that he would not ask the doctor to come and give him painkillers.

He suddenly couldn’t stand it any longer, and turned around to think of going outside to smoke a cigarette. Who knew that as soon as she turned around, she saw Shen Yansheng standing behind her, her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of tears, she was holding back and did not cry.

He couldn’t help but froze for a moment, and subconsciously called out, “Shen Yansheng—”

Lu Jingce opened his eyes abruptly when he heard Xie Rin’s voice.

Seeing Shen Yansheng standing not far from the hospital bed, and seeing her eyes full of tears looking at him, his body suddenly stiffened for a moment, and he looked at her silently.

At the moment when Lu Jingce looked at her, Shen Yansheng’s tears that she had been holding back couldn’t help falling.

But the next second she tried her best to smile at Lu Jingce, walked to the bed, and silently held Lu Jingce’s hand.

Lu Jingce also held her back and comforted her in a low voice, “It’s okay.”

Shen Yansheng nodded and watched the doctor give Lu Jingce an injection.

The pain in his body finally subsided with a single injection of the painkiller, and the cold sweat on Lu Jingce’s forehead slowly subsided, and his face was not as pale as before.

Shen Yansheng looked at the doctor and asked worriedly, “Doctor Liang, are you okay?”

Dr. Liang replied, “It’s not a big problem. After all, the injury was so severe at the time, it’s normal to have a little pain.”

Shen Yansheng endured the sadness and nodded lightly.

After the doctor left, Xie Rin also left first.

There were still Lu Jingce and Shen Yansheng left in the ward. Shen Yansheng went to the bathroom to draw a basin of warm water, sat on the edge of the bed, wringed out the towel and gently wiped the sweat from Lu Jingce’s forehead.

She didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end, but instead let Lu Jingce hang his heart. When Shen Yansheng wiped his sweat for the third time, he finally couldn’t hold back, took her hand, looked at her, and said softly: ” It’s really okay.”

The tears that Shen Yansheng had been holding back, finally fell uncontrollably when he looked up at Lu Jingce.

Lu Jingce felt distressed for a moment, raised his hand to wipe her tears, and said, “It’s really okay. Didn’t you listen to the doctor just now, it’s normal for the recovery process to be a little painful.”

These days, Shen Yansheng hadn’t heard Lu Jingce’s pain, and he was even in the mood to joke with her every day, to make her happy, so much that she thought that he might not be hurt that badly, and that he might be discharged from the hospital soon.

She didn’t know until just now that it wasn’t that he didn’t feel pain, but that he didn’t show it in front of her because he was afraid of her worries.

Holding back her tears, she held Lu Jingce’s hand, looked at him, and said in a choked voice, “Lu Jingce, don’t be like this in the future, please tell me where you hurt, don’t hide it from me.”

Lu Jingce smiled, still in the mood to tease her, and said, “How dare you hide it from you.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t laugh, she looked at Lu Jingce’s pale face, but felt that her heart was stabbed by some sharp weapon, and it was like colic.

Lu Jingce wiped away Shen Yansheng’s tears, changed the subject and asked her, “Where did you just go? Why did you come back so soon?”

Only then did Shen Yansheng say, “I’m going to buy you a present.”

Lu Jingce was stunned for a while, but he didn’t react, and asked, “What gift?”

Shen Yansheng said, “Isn’t it your birthday tomorrow?”

As she spoke, she took out something from her bag, but in the palm of her hand, Lu Jingce couldn’t see what it was.

He was a little curious and stared at her for a while, but Shen Yansheng clenched his fists, he couldn’t see anything at all, couldn’t help laughing, looked up at her, “What did you buy?”

Shen Yansheng finally smiled, looked at Lu Jingce, and said, “Close your eyes.”

Lu Jingce raised his eyebrows subtly and stared at Shen Yansheng.

Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “Shut it up.”

Lu Jingce smiled and said, “Where do you get so many tricks?”

He said what he said, but still closed his eyes according to the words.

Shen Yansheng held Lu Jingce’s hand, stared at him, and said, “I won’t let you open it.”

Lu Jingce gave a “hmm”, a smile on the corner of his lips.

Shen Yansheng stared at Lu Jingce for a while, making sure he wouldn’t peek, and then took out the gift from the palm of his hand.

The thing is not particularly expensive, it is a simple pair of rings.

Shen Yansheng pulled Lu Jingce’s uninjured left hand, lowered his head, and carefully put the ring on the **** of Lu Jingce’s left hand.

Although Lu Jingce closed his eyes, when Shen Yansheng slowly put the ring into his finger, he already knew what it was.

So when Shen Yansheng raised his head, he saw that Lu Jingce had opened his eyes and was looking at her deeply.

Seeing Lu Jingce’s dark and deep eyes, she felt a little flustered for a moment, wondering if Lu Jingce would be unwilling to wear a pair of rings with her.

She pressed down the nervousness in her heart, tried her best to smile, looked at Lu Jingce, and said, “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and don’t know what birthday gift I should give you, but when I saw Wanwan and Xie Rin wearing matching rings, I thought about it for a long time. I’m going to buy a pair to play with.”

He added: “But if you don’t like it, just take it off, I won’t mind.”

“Shen Yansheng.”

“Ah?” Before she could finish her words, Lu Jingce suddenly interrupted her.

She looked at him nervously and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Jingce still looked at her and said, “Come here.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t guess what Lu Jingce was thinking, so she sat beside the bed and looked at him.

Lu Jingce saw her sitting upright, funny and a little helpless, and said, “Come here again, my shoulder still hurts and I can’t move.”

As soon as Shen Yansheng heard Lu Jingce’s shoulder pain, she panicked and sat down quickly, “Why is it still hurting, do you want to call a doctor, I…”

Before a complete sentence was finished, Lu Jingce grabbed the back of his neck and kissed her with warm lips, which quickly robbed her of her breath.

Since the two returned from Jiangcheng in February, they were either quarreling or fighting in the cold these days. They haven’t kissed for almost two months.

Shen Yansheng was soon kissed to the point that she was a little deprived of oxygen, her face was red and her ears were hot, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. Her body was a little weak, but she was afraid of touching Lu Jingce’s painful spot, so she didn’t dare to reach out and hug him.

With two hands in front of him, his body trembled slightly. Finally, Lu Jingce let go of her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and brought her into his arms.

Shen Yansheng didn’t dare to lean too hard, but he couldn’t help but gently wrap his right hand around Lu Jingce’s waist.

The sunlight outside the window was mild, the ward was quiet, and both of them were slowly adjusting their breathing.

When his breathing gradually calmed down, Lu Jingce took Shen Yansheng’s left hand and looked at it, his voice was a little hoarse, and asked, “Where’s your ring?”

Shen Yansheng said, “I haven’t worn it yet.”

She got up from Lu Jingce’s arms and took out hers from her bag.

Lu Jingce took it from her palm, pulled up her right hand, and put her **** in, then looked up at her with a serious expression, “Don’t take it off.”

Shen Yansheng looked into Lu Jingce’s eyes, unable to hide her joy, she pursed her lips into a smile, nodded and said, “Got it.”

On the morning of April 9th, Xie Rin came to the hospital to see Lu Jingce, and by the way brought a piece of news, saying: “This morning at eight o’clock, Zhang Siqi was caught at the airport.”

Shen Yansheng was cutting fruit at the time, and when he heard the words, he almost cut his fingers. When Lu Jingce saw it, he couldn’t help frowning. He reached out and took the fruit knife in her hand, saying, “Be careful.”

Shen Yansheng looked up at Xie Rin and asked, “Where is she?”

Xie Rin said: “The detention center is detained.”

As he spoke, he pulled out the chair beside the bed and sat down. He said, “She can also hide. She has been hiding in the mountains for the past few days. She wanted to take a plane to go abroad this morning, but was caught by the patrol police at the airport.”

As she said that, she glanced at Shen Yansheng and asked curiously, “What’s her relationship to the boss of your former company? After she was arrested, she still wanted the other party to bail her out.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help frowning when she heard the words, “She murdered intentionally, can she still be released on bail?”

Xie Rin thought to herself that she wanted to bail. If Lu Jingce wanted to kill her, how could she be released on bail.

He subconsciously glanced at Lu Jingce and saw that Lu Jingce didn’t say a word, guessing that Lu Jingce didn’t want to scare Shen Yansheng, so he didn’t say more, just said: “It shouldn’t. Fortunately, there is surveillance in the place where the accident happened. Judging from the surveillance video, it is completely It can be seen that her driving path is intentional homicide.”

Thinking of that night, he received a call and rushed to the hospital, and saw Lu Jingce pushing into the operating room covered in blood, he still had lingering fears, and said, “Fortunately, the car that night was driving with a high safety factor, otherwise the collision method…”

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jingce looked up and warned him not to say any more.

He glanced at Shen Yansheng subconsciously, and sure enough, Shen Yansheng’s eyes were red.

He coughed and closed it, not talking about that night again.

Xie Rin had something to do in the morning and didn’t stay in the ward for long, and left around ten o’clock.

Shen Yansheng went to the pharmacy downstairs to get some medicine, saw Lu Jingce alone in the ward, and asked, “Has Xie Rin left?”

Lu Jingce gave an “um” and said, “There is something going on at his house.”

Shen Yansheng closed the door of the ward, walked to the bedside, and put the medicine he brought back on the bedside table.

She reached out to hold Lu Jingce’s hand, looked at him distressedly, and asked, “Do you still have pain today? Do you want to call a doctor for painkillers?”

Lu Jingce smiled, raised his hand and touched Shen Yansheng’s cheek gently, and said, “It’s much better, don’t worry.”

Shen Yansheng nodded lightly.

She looked at Lu Jingce, and after a long time, she couldn’t help but ask, “Lu Jingce, will Zhang Siqi go to jail?”

Lu Jingce nodded and said, “What happened that night was no longer an accident. It was an intentional murder, and I would definitely go to jail.”

He looked at Shen Yansheng, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, “Or do you want to let her go?”

Shen Yansheng immediately shook her head, thinking of Zhang Siqi, an icy chill flashed in her eyes. Growing up, for the first time, she wanted to burn a person to ashes.

She took Lu Jingce’s hand, looked at him and asked, “Have you found a lawyer? Will she be sentenced to a few years less for such an attempted murder? Can she be put in jail and never be released for the rest of her life?”

As long as she thinks of her experience that night, and that Lu Jingce almost died trying to save her, she can’t wait to let Zhang Siqi die immediately.

Outside the intensive care unit, during the two days waiting for Lu Jingce to wake up, she even thought that if Lu Jingce really couldn’t wake up again, she would make Zhang Siqi pay for her life, and then she would go down to find Lu Jingce.

Lu Jingce took Shen Yansheng’s hand and said, “Let me handle this matter. Since she dares to kill, she will definitely make her pay the price.”

Shen Yansheng’s eyes were red and she blamed herself. Looking at Lu Jingce, she said, “It’s all my fault. I found out that she received kickbacks last time. If she was full of her own pockets, she should be sent to jail, and she shouldn’t be soft-hearted and let her go.”

Lu Jingce gently wiped her tears and said, “I don’t blame you. She is like that. Even if she was allowed to stay in for two years, she would still take revenge on us when she came out.”

Shen Yansheng’s eyes were full of tears, she leaned into Lu Jingce’s arms, reached out and hugged him gently.

Lu Jingce hugged her with his uninjured left hand, lowered his head and kissed her hair gently, and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Yansheng had already blamed herself to the extreme during this period of time, but at this moment she finally couldn’t control her emotions and said with choked sobs, “It’s all my fault for implicated you.”

If it wasn’t for her, Lu Jingce wouldn’t have encountered a lunatic like Zhang Siqi.

However, Lu Jingce didn’t like hearing what Shen Yansheng said, so he whispered, “Tell me about you and me? Shen Yansheng, if you don’t get angry with me for a day, you can’t do it?”

“I won’t say it anymore.” Shen Yansheng buried her face in Lu Jingce’s chest, her voice was muffled, she closed her mouth and never mentioned it again.

Lu Jingce stayed in the hospital for a whole month, and it was not until the end of April that he recovered almost completely and was allowed to be discharged by the doctor.

However, although he was allowed to be discharged from the hospital, he still needed more rest and should not be overworked.

So after returning home, Shen Yansheng set a strict schedule for Lu Jingce. He was asked to go to bed before ten o’clock every night, and was not allowed to get off work after six o’clock. Usually, what entertainment and wine bureaus can be exempted, but if he can’t be pushed away, he is not allowed to drink.

Although Lu Jingce felt that Shen Yansheng was a little too nervous, in order not to worry her, he always followed her wishes.

So that throughout May, all the social events that can be pushed have been pushed, and business trips have been postponed.

In mid-May, Zhang Siqi’s case went to trial and received a lot of attention.

However, Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce did not attend the court hearing and left the lawyers to be responsible.

At that time, the Lu family just welcomed an uninvited guest.

wrong.

To be precise, for Shen Yansheng, it was an uninvited guest.

At this moment, she was standing at the door, looking at Xia Xiaoyue who was dragging her suitcase, her face was cold, and she asked, “Miss Xia, what’s the matter with you?”

Xia Xiaoyue also looked at her coldly and said, “If I were you, I would have no face to stay here. If it weren’t for you, how could Brother Ce be injured? It’s really hurtful!”

Shen Yansheng stared at her coldly and said, “It’s not your turn to take care of me or not. You are so powerful, and you have the ability to let Lu Jingce drive me away.”

Xia Xiaoyue sneered and looked at her disdainfully, “A substitute, you really take yourself seriously. When brother Ce’s first love comes back, see if there is any room for you here.”

Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words.

She didn’t want to admit it, but when she heard Xia Xiaoyue’s words, she did panic for a moment.

She always thought that Lu Jingce would look for her, perhaps because his first love was no longer alive. She can’t win the dead, and she doesn’t want to fight, as long as the person who is by Lu Jingce’s side is her.

But after hearing Xia Xiaoyue’s words, she knew that Lu Jingce’s first love was still alive.

She couldn’t help but pursed her lower lip, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t Lu Jingce’s first love gone?”

Xia Xiaoyue said with a smile: “You wish they were gone. It’s a pity that they are living well, and it was only a last resort when they separated from Brother Ce. Maybe they will come back someday.”

Shen Yansheng’s heart tightened slightly, staring at Xia Xiaoyue, without speaking for a long time.

Xia Xiaoyue carried her suitcase and entered the room sideways from Shen Yansheng.

She looked up and looked around, and when she saw such a big house, her eyes were full of yearning.

Looking back, he saw a few servants standing in the living room. He subconsciously raised his chest, and then commanded, “Help me take the suitcase upstairs.”

Aunt Ping was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disgusted by the unfamiliar woman in front of her. She looked at Shen Yansheng subconsciously, wanting to ask Shen Yansheng what she meant.

Seeing this, Xia Xiaoyue was very displeased and said, “You’d better call Brother Ce and ask him what my relationship is with him. If you neglect me like this, believe it or not, I will make you unemployed tomorrow.”

Aunt Ping really didn’t know who the woman in front of her was, but when she heard her say this, she was indeed a little frightened, and her face turned pale.

Shen Yansheng glanced at Xia Xiaoyue with a cold face, “You shouldn’t show off your power here. If it wasn’t for the sake of your grandparents, I would drive you out now.”

“You dare.” Xia Xiaoyue said, “When Brother Ce and I grew up together, you didn’t know where you were.”

Shen Yansheng was too lazy to pay attention to her, and said to Aunt Ping, “Take her to the guest room on the third floor.”

Only then did Aunt Ping respond, call a servant to carry the suitcase, and walk to the front to lead the way.

The second floor was where Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce lived. Naturally, it was impossible for guests to live on this floor. On the second floor, Aunt Ping was about to lead people to the third floor, but Xia Xiaoyue suddenly stopped outside Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce’s bedroom.

She stood at the door, glanced inside, saw Lu Jingce’s coat hanging on the hanger, and guessed that he should live here, raised her head and shouted, “Does Brother Ce live here?”

Aunt Ping was stunned for a while, and when she turned around, she saw Xia Xiaoyue standing outside Lu Jingce and Shen Yansheng’s bedroom. She walked back and replied, “Yes, President Lu and Miss Shengsheng live in this room.”

Xia Xiaoyue asked, “Where do I live?”

Aunt Ping said, “Your room is on the third floor.”

Xia Xiaoyue snorted coldly, glanced at the room next to the master bedroom, and walked straight over.

The door was not closed, she glanced inside and asked, “Whose room is this?”

Aunt Ping said, “It used to be Miss Sheng Sheng’s room.”

“What about now?” Xia Xiaoyue asked.

“There is no one to live in right now.” Aunt Ping replied.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoyue walked in and said, “Then I will live in this room.”

Aunt Ping was stunned when she heard the words, her face was very embarrassed, and she said, “But this floor is where President Lu and Miss Sheng Sheng live, and usually no foreign guests are allowed.”

Xia Xiaoyue directly took the suitcase that the servant was carrying, opened it on the ground, and started hanging clothes in the cabinet, “Call and ask Brother Ce to see if I can live here.”

Saying that, he snorted coldly, “What a joke. Brother Ce and I grew up together, we studied at the same table, and we ate at the same table. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we are half relatives.”

After speaking, he looked at Aunt Ping and said, “If you don’t believe me, call Brother Ce now to see if I can live here.”

When Aunt Ping heard Xia Xiaoyue’s words, she didn’t dare to stop her any more, so she had to say with a smile: “If this is the case, then you will stay here for the time being. If you need anything, I will send it to you immediately.”

Xia Xiaoyue said, “I’m hungry, do you have anything to eat?”

Aunt Ping replied, “Yes. What would you like to eat?”

Xia Xiaoyue said while hanging up her clothes, “I’ll come down and see it myself later.”

“Eh.” Aunt Ping responded, leaving a servant to help, and went downstairs to report the situation to Shen Yansheng.

In the living room downstairs, Shen Yansheng curled up with her feet on the sofa, leaning on the armrest of the sofa while flipping through magazines, saw Aunt Ping coming downstairs with a sullen face, and asked, “What the **** is she doing?”

Aunt Ping walked up to Shen Yansheng and whispered, “She insists on staying in the room you used to live in.”

Shen Yansheng frowned upon hearing this, and her face was already very unhappy.

Aunt Ping was a little nervous and asked carefully, “What should I do?”

Shen Yansheng was angry for a few seconds, and she was too lazy to deal with it any more. She lowered her head and continued flipping through the magazine, saying, “Leave her alone, wait for Lu Jingce to come back and solve it by himself.”

When Aunt Ping heard Shen Yansheng say this, she felt relieved, and then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Lu Jingce had a dinner outside tonight, but he didn’t drink, and it was less than nine o’clock when he came back.

Carrying the cakes he brought for Shen Yansheng in his hand, he saw Shen Yansheng sitting on the sofa flipping through magazines, and asked with a smile, “Have you had dinner yet?”

“I ate it a long time ago.” Shen Yansheng put down the magazine, got up and went to the door to help Lu Jingce get his jacket, grabbed the collar of his shirt by the way, and leaned forward to smell whether there was any alcohol on him.

Lu Jingce was helpless and funny, and said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t drink.”

Shen Yansheng really didn’t smell the smell of tobacco and alcohol, so he was relieved.

Seeing Lu Jingce holding something in his hand, he asked, “What is it?”

Lu Jingce said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Fuyuan Pavilion a few days ago? I passed by when I came back and bought a box by the way.”

Shen Yansheng was a little happy, and took it to the coffee table.

Lu Jingce changed his shoes and entered the room, walked to the sofa and sat down. He saw a package of things on the coffee table.

Shen Yansheng just washed his hands and came out of the bathroom. Hearing Lu Jingce’s question, he remembered and said, “Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, your childhood sweetheart sister is here to see you.”

Lu Jingce was stunned when he heard the words, and before he had time to ask his childhood sweetheart’s good sister, a voice came from upstairs, “Brother Ce!”

Lu Jingce was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Xia Xiaoyue running downstairs.

He couldn’t help but startled, a little surprised, “Why are you here?”

Xia Xiaoyue ran downstairs, sat next to Lu Jingce, frowned, looked at him worriedly, and said, “Why don’t you ask. If I hadn’t read the news on my phone, I wouldn’t have known what happened to you. Grandpa and grandma know You have an accident, you are very worried, let me come and see you.”

As he said that, he took Lu Jingce’s hand, checked up and down, and asked worriedly, “Are you okay? Is it okay?”

Lu Jingce quietly avoided Xia Xiaoyue’s hand and said, “It’s nothing.”

He asked again, “How are Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia recently?”

Xia Xiaoyue nodded and said, “My body is fine. I just heard that something happened to you, and I was very worried.”

Lu Jingce said, “It’s nothing major, I’ll call and tell them later.”

“It’s nothing.” Xia Xiaoyue frowned and said, “I see that the news is very serious.”

Lu Jingce laughed and said, “Don’t watch those gossip news, I’m here all the time, I don’t have any arms or legs.”

He looked up at Shen Yansheng, and saw Shen Yansheng standing inside the bar, holding scissors pruning a bunch of flowers.

But in that way, it seems that her mind is not on the flower arrangement. A good bunch of flowers was cut in a mess by her.

Lu Jingce watched quietly, with a smile in his eyes.

Xia Xiaoyue finally felt relieved when she saw that Lu Jingce was all right. Her eyes suddenly fell on the cakes on the coffee table. She was a little surprised. She sat on the stool in front of the coffee table and said, “I heard that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Fuyuan Pavilion in Beicheng is very famous, but I haven’t eaten it yet.”

As he spoke, he opened the box, took out a piece, looked back at Lu Jingce, and asked with a smile, “Brother Ce, did you buy it?”

Lu Jingce: “…”

Shen Yansheng put down the scissors, came out from the bar, and went upstairs without looking back.

Not long after Shen Yansheng returned to the bedroom, Lu Jingce also came up. He closed the bedroom door and walked over to the bed. Seeing Shen Yansheng playing games and ignoring him, he couldn’t help laughing. He stretched out his hand to take her phone away, sat by the bed, put him in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her with a hint of voice in his voice. He smiled and asked, “Are you angry?”

Shen Yansheng rolled his eyes at him, blaming him for knowingly asking.

Lu Jingce coaxed, “I’ll buy you another copy tomorrow.”

Shen Yansheng was still angry and said, “I won’t eat it.”

Lu Jingce smiled and asked her, “Then what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you tomorrow.”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lips and stared at Lu Jingce. After a long while, she couldn’t help but say, “When exactly will she leave?”

Lu Jingce raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “They just came.”

Shen Yansheng also knew in his heart that Xia Xiaoyue’s grandparents were kind to Lu Jingce, and when they came to visit Lu Jingce’s injury, there was really no reason for them to leave.

But she really hated Xia Xiaoyue so much. Seeing her reminded her of what she said.

She couldn’t help but pursed her lower lip, turned over and lay in bed, a little self-sacrificing and didn’t want to speak.

Lu Jingce sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her. After a while, he leaned down to kiss her cheek, and coaxed softly, “If you really don’t like her, I’ll arrange another place for her. But she came to see me on purpose, so it’s not good to do it now. Take it home.”

Shen Yansheng looked up at him, a little unhappy, and said, “You make me seem unreasonable.”

Lu Jingce smiled, hooked her chin, and asked, “Do you think you are reasonable?”

Shen Yansheng looked at him, and several times about his first love came to his throat, and finally he didn’t have the courage to ask.

She was so afraid that what Xia Xiaoyue said was true, that she really asked, and Lu Jingce admitted it, or tacitly agreed, how should she handle herself in the future.

She struggled inside, and finally decided to be an ostrich. You can lie to yourself if you don’t ask, maybe what Xia Xiaoyue said was false, just lied to her.

After taking a shower, Lu Jingce came out of the bathroom and saw that Shen Yansheng was still asleep, curled up under the duvet and playing with his phone.

While wiping the water from his hair, he teased her with a smile, “Can’t sleep?”

Shen Yansheng said, “It’s only ten o’clock.”

Lu Jingce laughed, dried his hair and went to bed, stretched out his hand to hug Shen Yansheng into his arms, bowed his head to kiss her and whispered, “Then do something else.”

Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce now have a very tacit understanding, and he was quickly teased by him to get a feel for it, but he wanted to disappoint, “Your childhood sweetheart’s younger sister is sleeping next door.”

Hearing this, Lu Jingce frowned and asked, “Why do you sleep next door?”

Shen Yansheng said: “Who knows, I want to be close to the water tower with you.”

Hearing this, Lu Jingce frowned even more, and said, “Where is the tower near the water?”

Shen Yansheng said: “Why not, they came with a suitcase, and their clothes were hung in the closet, so they plan to live here for a long time.”

Lu Jingce suddenly stopped talking and looked thoughtful.

Shen Yansheng didn’t want him to think about other women’s affairs at such a time, raised his hand to hook his neck, and wrapped him tightly.

Lu Jingce almost lost control, his eyes darkened for a moment, he lowered his head and kissed Shen Yansheng fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, “Who taught you?”

Shen Yansheng was unhappy and said, “Who made you lose your mind.”

When it was over, Shen Yansheng leaned against Lu Jingce’s arms with some exhaustion. She was not asleep, full of worries.

After a long time, he reached out to hug Lu Jingce and asked softly, “Lu Jingce, do you love me?”

She asked very lightly, she thought Lu Jingce had already fallen asleep, but she didn’t. Lu Jingce stroked her hair gently and said softly, “I love you.”

Shen Yansheng raised her head from Lu Jingce’s arms, looked at him, and asked, “Who do you love?”

Lu Jingce smiled, raised his hand to squeeze her cheek, and said, “I love you, who else is there?”

“Who am I?” Shen Yansheng asked persistently.

“Who do you say you are?” Lu Jingce didn’t know what Shen Yansheng was thinking, but when she laughed, he pinched her chin and said, “Shen Yansheng, are you looking for trouble tonight?”

Shen Yansheng was finally satisfied when Lu Jingce called her name. He pursed his lips and smiled, buried his face in Lu Jingce’s arms again, and said, “Okay, I’m going to sleep.”
