Chapter 41: To rest

Chapter 41

Yu Sheng raised his paddle, about to bid again, but was stopped by Li Zhen.

Yu Sheng glanced at her sideways.

Li Zhen glared at him, "Enough, don't you have anywhere else to spend your money?"

They were already sitting in the front row, so Master Gu could clearly see their actions.

Master Gu looked confused, his expression seemed to be asking "Did you say three million?"

Seeing the bidding paddle already raised, Li Zhen was caught in a dilemma. She raised one finger, "Just one thousand more! Only one thousand!"

Master Gu understood and quickly said, "Two million and two thousand yuan."

"Li Zhen is actually helping him increase the price!" Fei Zhao wanted to raise his paddle again but saw Lu Yanming getting up.

Fei Zhao was startled, "Young Master?"

Lu Yanming's back showed a hint of dejection. "What she wants is just something he gave her."

The confused Fei Zhao hurried to follow him.

It was when Fei Zhao arranged a ward for Li Zhen last time that he found out many things by tracing the clues. Turns out the Young Master was willing to live in that old residential area because he cohabited with Li Zhen! It turned out this Li Zhen was the "her" he knelt before Old Madam and said "She's married, I won't marry in this life" when he rejected the arranged marriage!

It nearly scared Old Madam to death!

Fei Zhao was very puzzled. This woman was ordinary in every way, just decent looking. Why did the Young Master take a liking to her back then?

"Two million and two thousand yuan going once."

"Two million and two thousand yuan going twice."

"Two million and two thousand yuan going thrice, sold!"

Thunderous applause filled the auction hall.

Fei Zhao stood at the entrance and looked back at the hall, sighing softly, "Alas, when has the Young Master been so frustrated."

Love hurts the most since ancient times.

-

The atmosphere in the hall was hot.

Li Zhen listened to Wang Wanwan cursing, to the crowd congratulating them, to the emotionally stirred reporters interviewing them, to people saying they were kind-hearted and the money would support the welfare home for years and further improve living conditions.

Everything was noisy and chaotic.

The auction wasn't over yet but they had turned on the lights in the hall.

Li Zhen felt strangely restless for no reason. She looked back and saw the back rows were empty. The one who bid against Yu Sheng was gone.

Afraid they would regret it, the auction house staff swiftly brought a POS machine.

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, and the shock of Wang Wanwan and Zhou Chao Wen, Yu Sheng swiped his card.

Master Gu respectfully presented the box to him and opened it. "Sir, congratulations."

The brooch lay quietly inside the velvet box.

He had come in without knocking last night but acted gentlemanly in the day.

Lu Yanming ignored her tone automatically. He strode in, placed the breakfast in front of her, "You were tired last night, eat something."

Li Zhen's stomach growled untimely twice.

She was hungry indeed, though very annoyed with Lu Yanming. Still, she had to eat.

Li Zhen focused on eating silently, unaware her pajamas had been torn to shreds in last night's passionate activity, barely hanging off her shoulders now. It exposed her smooth, rounded shoulders. Her shoulders, neck and collarbones were all covered with suggestive marks.

Lu Yanming glanced at her and walked over to pull her top up, covering her beautiful collarbones. His warm fingertips slid over her cool skin, eliciting a shiver from deep within Li Zhen.

She jerked her head up abruptly to look at Lu Yanming. "Mr. Lu, fields really can get worn out from too much plowing, believe me!"

Lu Yanming chuckled lightly as he sat next to her on the bed. "I wasn't planning anything, I'm not that much of a beast."

Li Zhen sneered inwardly. Hmph.

The more she struggled last night, the more vigorous he plowed. Like a tireless ox.

She thought after going all out like that last night, he'd finally relax completely. But at the critical moment, he was still the same as before...

Not a single seed spilled!

Li Zhen was truly angry!

This couldn't continue.

As soon as Lu Yanming left, Li Zhen swiftly searched on her phone. The titles got more sensational.

[Marital Skills, Teach You to Know It Better]

[36 Strategies to Make Him Kneel Under Your Pomegranate Skirt]

[Different Every Night, Make Him Only Crave Your Liquids]

Biting the bullet, Li Zhen read them carefully.

She was always willing to learn.

She refused to believe with these professional skills, her tool husband could still remain so calm and collected. Still so clear-headed at the crucial moment!

After a morning of diligent study, Li Zhen had learned a lot. She got up, holding her waist as she limped out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Lu Yanming sat cross-legged on the carpet, operating his laptop on the coffee table.

He wore a casual, loose home outfit, looking relaxed and noble.

Li Zhen limped over and sat next to Lu Yanming, enduring the aches all over. "Mr. Lu, rested enough? Shall we continue?"

Li Zhen was going all out!

Lu Yanming glanced at her, puzzled by her sudden enthusiasm. "Didn't you say the field needed a break?"

"It's rested enough!" Li Zhen was sore even while sitting so she lightly leaned against him, looking up devotedly. "It's rested enough, shall we try again?"

She looked like she depended on him completely, body and soul.

Lu Yanming's heart beat slowly as he leaned down to kiss her lips, rejecting unhurriedly, "No, even if you're eager, you have to wait until tomorrow."

He had lost control a little last night. She probably couldn't take it if they went again today.
