Chapter 142: Congliang

Chapter 142

Li Zhen shrank her neck, her head burying lower and lower. “Mr. Lu, I really just thought the comment was funny so I liked it, that’s all.”

Lu Yanming leaned in and lightly bit her lips with a hint of punishment. “You'd better mean that.”

Li Zhen looked up. Lu Yanming had already swiftly changed into a different set of clothes. “Go to bed early. I’m going out for a run.”

Ever since he had returned to the country, he had spent all his free time with Li Zhen, and hadn’t exercised at all.

But just now, when Li Zhen had liked some other man's video, he had suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Li Zhen thought she had misheard. “What? It’s almost nine o’clock already...”

“Yeah, so you should rest early,” Lu Yanming strode over and planted another kiss on Li Zhen's soft lips.

Just as he was about to turn to leave, his departure was stopped by a soft little hand grabbing him.

Lu Yanming turned back around.

Li Zhen sat on the bed, looking up at him longingly with puppy dog eyes. “Mr. Lu, we shouldn’t waste such a lovely night. Why go out running?”

“Quite the poet, aren’t we?” Lu Yanming chuckled lightly.

Li Zhen had summoned all her courage just to lower herself to ask this much, and his laugh made her feel even more embarrassed.

But getting pregnant was the priority here, and even though her ovulation period had passed several days ago, she had been diligently trying every day prior.

Just to be safe, a few more days of hardship!

“Like rhyming huh? I can come up with a few more lines,” Li Zhen craned her neck to look at him, refusing to let go of his hand, “Don’t go running, come to bed instead. I’ll rhyme some more for you...”

Lu Yanming’s features were sharply defined, and now with his glasses off, his superior bone structure paired with those light colored, aloof eyes made him even more bewitching.

But the words that came out of his mouth completely shattered that aura.

“Zhen Zhen, I’ve been... not functionally up to it the past few days. I need to rest.”

Li Zhen: ......

Auditory hallucinations, auditory hallucinations.

An ox that had tirelessly and happily plowed the fields every day was saying he wasn’t up for it anymore.

Li Zhen rubbed her ears. “Mr. Lu, my hearing hasn’t been great lately. What did you just say?”

Lu Yanming’s gaze subtly swept over her flat belly. He leaned in and kissed the soft corner of her lips again. “I said, you’ve been too frequent lately...”

Li Zhen was both embarrassed and mortified.

She had been quite... frequent recently.

But this was when she desperately wanted to get pregnant!

Or find someone else?

He Ge from the purchasing department seemed pretty smart too, and he looked decent.

The corners of Lu Yanming's thin lips turned up. "Oh? But you seemed to quite enjoy it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the girl who had turned soft as water on the bed, and gently placed her on the soft couch next to it.

As if to prove his point, Lu Yanming deliberately said next to Li Zhen's ear, "I'll have to change the sheets."

Li Zhen: ......

She didn’t dare say anything more, just gnashed her teeth in anger, breathing heavily like an angry yet powerless pufferfish.

Lu Yanming couldn't hold back and kissed her again. "Does it really not feel good? Why are you so angry?"

"I..." Li Zhen wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

In Lu Yanming's eyes, wasn't she just someone with a strong libido who often took advantage of him!

She could only bite out angrily, "I can't get through to you, generation gap!"

Lu Yanming went along with her words. "I see, generation gap. I must be getting old and hard to satisfy young people..."

Li Zhen glared at him, unhappy.

"Alright, don't be angry. I'll try something else tomorrow..." Lu Yanming rubbed her fluffy hair, the soft touch excellent.

Having said that, he turned and went into the walk-in closet, grabbing new sheets.

"Try something else? What something else?" Li Zhen didn't quite understand.

"Since you don't like my hands, I can only use something else." Lu Yanming removed the old sheets and spread out clean new ones, skilled in his actions. "My kidneys are shot too. You don't like my hands, so what else can I use..."

Li Zhen understood immediately this time.

Her scalp tingled uncomfortably!

How could Lu Yanming say something like this with a straight face!

Li Zhen clicked her tongue twice, asking uncertainly, "Mr. Lu, you didn't actually moonlight in that profession before... did you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you think I did?" As Lu Yanming smoothed out the bed sheet, he asked casually.

"Cough cough... I mean... at a bar..." Li Zhen cautiously ventured.

Lu Yanming paused his motions briefly and nodded. "Yeah, I did do that before."

Li Zhen excitedly stood up. "I knew it! I knew your skills were so good and you knew so many techniques!"

"Is Zhen Zhen praising me?" Lu Yanming looked at her in amusement.

Li Zhen froze.

Crap.

She had accidentally praised him after all.

Making it seem like she really enjoyed it...

After finishing with the bed, Lu Yanming came over and glanced at her breezily. "I did do it before, only once. Someone paid 50,000 for my first night, then I went straight and got married after that."
