Jing Yiran was quite weak, so he held onto Lu and said shamelessly, “You look very thin, but you are quite plump. Supple and comfortable. I can hold you in arms during my sleep tonight.”
Lu was not moved by his flirty words. With a calm expression, she pushed him off. “Go back to bed and lie down. You are not a man enough.”
She turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Jing Yiran alone in the room feeling angry.
“I am not a man enough? You damn girl, are you so great because you are a killer? So severe you are. No one will ever marry you!”
Jing Yiran bellowed at Lu but felt his body getting weaker and head aching even more. He went back to the bed and fell asleep.
Half an hour later, Lu returned with food in her hands.
Apart from the soybean milk, she got a fast food set meal as well.
Lu was not fussy about food. She only expected it to fill her stomach.
Jing Yiran was used to exquisitely-made food, so he didn’t even look at the fast food set. He drank the soybean milk and frowned as he said, “Miss. Lu, are you giving a patient this kind of food? It is way too reckless!”
Lu, however, replied calmly, “No, this is mine. That cup of soybean milk is yours.”
Jing Yiran stared at the large pile of hamburger, chicken wings and chips and asked in astonishment, “You can eat so much? Why does my memory tell me that you only eat candy and chocolate?”
“Those are just snacks. I get cranky when I don’t eat, so I… no, she would keep eating candy to feel energetic. Where do you think I get so much strength from?”
Jing Yiran watched Lu finishing one hamburger after another and suddenly thought that the hamburgers looked delicious.
He reached out for one but got hit by Lu. “You were in a coma for a week and have just woken up. One cup of soybean milk is enough for you. Any more food may ruin your stomach.”
Jing Yiran was extremely displeased. He also wanted to eat a hamburger.
“You didn’t eat this much at my home. Why so much food now?”
“I did eat this much when I was at your home, it was just that you didn’t know anything about it.”
“You….” Jing Yiran pointed at Lu, too startled to utter a word.
She was indeed the biggest foodie in the world. She simply ate too much!
How did her small-sized body hold in so much food?
It was pure torture for Jing Yiran to watch others eating whilst he got nothing.
Jing Yiran had no choice and climbed back onto the bed, ignoring Lu.
He was still weak, so he fell asleep instantly after lying down.
When he woke up at midnight, he saw Lu sitting by his bedside, watching him attentively.
Lu withdrew her look, got up and walked away when she saw Jing Yiran wake up.
Jing Yiran suddenly took hold of her soft hand. “Don’t leave.”
Lu paused and sat back down.
Jing Yiran did not let go of her hand and said in a low voice, “Your hands are freezing. Where have you been?”
“Nowhere.”
If she had not been anywhere, Lu would not have said a word. Jing Yiran had long been aware of the fact that Lu was a terrible liar.
“You killed someone?”
Lu got startled and admitted it. “Yes, I took an order and collected 1/3rd of your surgery fees.”
Jing Yiran suddenly got furious and said angrily, “I told you not to care about the surgery fees. Can’t you just stay still? I can make money myself. I don’t want you to risk your life for the money.”
Lu was surprised but she did not change her expression. “Killing is my profession and it will be a waste if I don’t use it. I won’t die. We better get enough money for your surgery. When you are cured, you can lead a normal life. I did have a lot of savings, but I can’t use them, because Jing Yichen might get suspicious.”
Jing Yiran could not help but get angry. “To hell with normal life! I have not taken my revenge yet. I can’t let bygones be bygones when Jing Yichen is not dead. Why must I live like an outcast? Jing Yichen must die!”
“Jing Yiran, I had thought that you would cherish your life after you experienced death.” Lu sounded cold. “It is all in the past. You almost caused Shangguan Ning and her child’s death and you imprisoned Zhao Anan. You gave the shares of Jingsheng Enterprise to others. You and Jing Yichen are even now after he put a bullet into your head.”
She pulled her hand away from Jing Yiran’s, stood up and said, “You are not a match against him, and your death has proved it. I will not help you any more, if you are still confused.”
Jing Yiran’s voice sounded cold too. “How do you know that I am not a match against Jing Yichen? I made a mistake last time. Now when he has his guard down, I can surely kill him!”
Lu closed her eyes in exhaustion. When she opened them again, she was calm.
“I will not allow you to kill him, nor will I allow you to touch Shangguan Ning and her child. Will your life get better, if Jing Yichen is killed? No, it will get worse! Unless you can kill Jing Zhongxiu and Jing Tianyuan as well.”
“Why don’t you stop him when he tries to kill me, but stop me when I kill him?” Jing Yiran laid on the bed and looked upset. The atmosphere was very intense in the room now.
“First of all, I was hired by Jing Zhongxiu and I am responsible to keep Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning safe. Secondly, I am not a match against Jing Yichen even if I try to stop him. Thirdly, you deserve death for what you have done.”
Jing Yiran got struck by what Lu said. But he was not convinced and showed a distorted expression on his face as he said, “You better kill me now, or when I recover, I will definitely go and kill Jing Yichen. I will not stop until either one of us dies.”
Lu lowered his head and said calmly, “You always lived for the sake of others and have spent your entire life fighting against Jing Yichen whilst as a matter of fact, you are not even a rival in Jing Yichen’s eyes. You have messed up your life, but he lives a steady and happy one. You are a loser in this aspect!”
“He is living a steady and happy life? Alright then, I will go and ruin it!”
