Hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Gu Ningning recovered from her memories and quickly pulled her hand back: “Brother Jingchen, I, let’s get up first, I’ll explain to you later.”
As she spoke, she endured the soreness in her waist and the weakness in her legs, crawled up, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, jumped out of bed, picked up her clothes, and put them on.
“Explain what?” Lu Jingchen was naturally aloof, and except for his overly passionate behavior last night, he now had a cold face and raised an eyebrow to ask.
What he wanted, wasn’t it the crime of hooliganism?
How could that person succeed if she was fully dressed?
Gu Ningning had already put on her clothes, let down her hair, and re-tied her braid, looking at the man’s icy cold face, her heart tightened.
In her previous life, she only knew how to cry and make a fuss, blaming him for ruining her, kicking and hitting him at the time.
Now, hearing his words and thinking of Lu Xueshi’s words before she died, she felt she was truly stupid to the core.
This Lu Jingchen indeed knew from beginning to end that this was a conspiracy.
Yet, he willingly jumped into it.
In her previous life, he thought only of her, but she personally ruined him.
She raised her hand and slapped herself twice.
Blind and foolish in her previous life, she truly deserved it.
In this life, she must not involve him.
Lu Jingchen, who was holding his clothes, was also stunned. He took a long stride, got out of bed, walked to her side, and raised his hand to grab her wrist: “What are you doing?”
“I…” Gu Ningning’s two slaps were heavy. The pain, coupled with the guilt in her heart, made her tears fall uncontrollably.
But as soon as she looked up and saw his firm chest muscles, her face turned red.
She quickly covered her eyes: “Put on your clothes quickly!”
This man was truly a naked temptation.
Looking at his physique and his chiseled face, Gu Ningning couldn’t help but feel her heart race a little, her waist became even more sore, and her legs ached even more.
Lu Jingchen responded with a “Good!”
His voice was hoarse, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
He was also forcing himself to remain calm, quickly and haphazardly putting on his clothes.
His face was also red to the roots of his ears.
He actually wanted to explain something.
But the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back down.
Outside the door, Lu Xueshi didn’t knock again. He knew that a good show was about to unfold, and all he had to do was wait.
Gu Ningning re-tied her braid and looked up to see that Lu Jingchen had already put on his clothes.
Dressed as an officer, he displayed strong, lean lines.
He was both dashing and handsome, and although his expression was a bit cold, it didn’t affect his attractiveness.
Of course, all the Lu Family Members were good-looking.
In her previous life, she had also loved Lu Xueshi’s face immensely.
Only now did she realize that Lu Jingchen was even more handsome and charming.
And had more temperament.
“You don’t have to say anything later, and you don’t have to do anything. Just pretend that nothing happened last night.” Gu Ningning’s small face was still streaked with tears, but the words she spoke now were utterly heartless.
Lu Jingchen, who had felt a twinge of guilt and wanted to wipe away her tears, felt his heart turn cold.
The hand he had extended also clenched into a fist.
Pretend nothing happened?
After speaking, Gu Ningning put the Ya Cream, Fenbaolianhua pressed powder, Revlon lipstick, and other items scattered on the floor into her small bag.
Yesterday had been a bit too absurd.
She must have been too anxious at the time and didn’t even have time to put her bag away properly.
After tidying up her bag, she turned to open the door.
Lu Xueshi, who had raised his foot to kick the door, couldn’t stop his momentum and stumbled inside: “Ah…”
He fell flat on his face.
This almost made Gu Ningning lose her composure.
However, she still raised her hand to help Lu Xueshi: “Brother Xueshi, are you, are you alright!”
In reality, she was suppressing a murderous impulse.
“Ningning, are you alright? How are you with Jingchen? You two?” Lu Xueshi grimaced in pain but didn’t forget his plan.
It was then that Gu Ningning covered her face: “Brother Xueshi, don’t say anything more, let’s go.”
This action also drew Lu Xueshi’s gaze to Gu Ningning’s face.
Her face was red and swollen, clearly from being hit.
He was also somewhat unable to accept it: “What happened? Did Jingchen hit you?”
Then Gu Ningning’s tears suddenly gushed out.
Like pearls breaking from a string.
“Lu Jingchen, are you still a man? How could you lay a hand on Ningning?” Lu Xueshi was somewhat incredulous. In the previous life, Lu Jingchen had treated Gu Ningning as his most precious treasure, doting on her like the apple of his eye.
But now, he actually hit her.
Lu Jingchen, who had been glaring angrily at the two, finally understood.
What Gu Ningning’s words meant.
She was trying to protect him?
Facing Lu Xueshi, Lu Jingchen’s face was full of mockery and disdain, and he was about to say something.
But Gu Ningning interrupted him.
“Brother Xueshi, it’s my fault. I, I thought the person who came was you,” Gu Ningning said, weeping while suppressing her disgust and murderous intent, “Brother Jingchen, he, he wanted to make me sober up.”
Her voice was tinged with grievance, and tears once again fell “pat-pat-pat.”
Lu Xueshi was bewildered.
Something was wrong, something must have gone wrong.
Gu Ningning, of course, wouldn’t give him time to think. She grabbed his arm and walked away, looking as if she was afraid of being shamed.
She was even more careful, keeping her head down.
Lu Jingchen, clenching his fists, wanted to stop the two.
What was he?
He wasn’t even a tool.
What he couldn’t understand was why Gu Ningning didn’t cooperate with Lu Xueshi to send him to the public security bureau.
She didn’t cry or make a fuss, remaining quiet.
This was too unexpected.
In the car.
Gu Ningning was still covering her small face and sobbing.
“Jingchen is truly a scoundrel!” Lu Xueshi hit the steering wheel, “How could he treat you like that!”
Didn’t he care about you very much?
“Why didn’t you come yesterday? You left me alone in the guesthouse.” Gu Ningning said softly, her big eyes full of tears, and her eye corners red.
She turned her face, looking at Lu Xueshi pitifully.
Deep in her eyes was an unconcealable hatred.
The hand turning the steering wheel paused, and Lu Xueshi was a little slow to speak: “Well, something came up and delayed me.”
“Luckily, Brother Jingchen is a true gentleman, otherwise I, I would have been ruined!” Gu Ningning continued, looking still shaken, “He’s just too fierce, Brother Xueshi, I didn’t come home last night, and my face is still swollen, how am I going to explain this at home?”
“You two didn’t do anything last night…” Lu Xueshi felt unwilling.
Lu Jingchen was clearly drugged, and in the same room with the woman he loved, yet nothing happened?
Gu Ningning covered her face, and tears suddenly burst forth, heartbroken: “Brother Xueshi, you, what do you mean? You don’t trust me?”
She pounded on the car door: “Stop the car, stop the car! I’m going home to tell my Adoptive Parents to ask Uncle Lu to cancel the engagement!”
This engagement was set by the two elders of the Lu Family and the Gu Family.
In the previous life, after such an incident, Lu Xueshi did not break off the engagement.
He even married her into the Lu Family with great fanfare.
And gave her superficial respectability.
She also poured all her efforts into helping him rise from obscurity to become a renowned entrepreneur.
But that was what happened later.
At first, why did Lu Xueshi marry her?
To cover for his beloved?
That’s not right either.
For a moment, Gu Ningning couldn’t figure it out.
Lu Xueshi quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road and grabbed Gu Ningning’s wrist: “Ningning, I didn’t mean that. I was just worried about you. Don’t cry, your crying breaks my heart.”
“Then you go now and tell Uncle Lu to come to my house to discuss the engagement.” Gu Ningning wiped away her tears. In her previous life, after her purity was ruined, she was grateful to Lu Xueshi for still being willing to marry her, and she married him without asking for a single cent of betrothal money. She also gave all the dowry her Adoptive Parents provided to the Lu Family.
In the end, it all went into the hands of Lu Xueshi and his first love.
This first love of his was also her biological younger sister, whom she considered her best friend in her previous life.
She just didn’t know why her Adoptive Parents didn’t reveal her true identity.
In her previous life, she only found out that Gu Pingwu and Liu Xuehong were not her biological parents when she was almost dying.
Yet, she had dedicated herself to raising them and their biological daughter.
