Chapter 330

When Ji Qingqing woke up the next morning, it was already bright outside. But the curtains in front of the window were tightly closed and nothing could be seen outside.

She was half awake and tired when she vaguely noticed a figure wearing a shirt in front of the bed. When he noticed her wake up, he seemed to have said something to her in a low voice as he kissed her cheek.

Mhmmm... it’s itchy.

Ji Qingqing rubbed her brows and made an impatient hum with her hoarse voice. She rolled over to the other side and went back to sleep.

Lu Lixing, who sat at the bedside, tenderly smiled and left the room quietly.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

After napping again for quite a bit, she finally woke up again.

How long had I slept?

The sun outside was already shining through the cracks in the curtains, which was a bit dazzling to the eyes.

The moment she sat up, a wave of pain flooded her body, similar to the feeling of being run over by a car. Her neck, arms, and chest were mottled with many marks, reminding her of how crazy they were last night.

She timidly opened the blanket and quietly took a look at her body.

It was a horrible sight to see.

She yanked the blanket back violently and the memories of last night rushed to her at once.

“So tired...”

“It hurts...”

“Don’t... don’t want it anymore...”

With a blank expression, she looked at the ceiling. Her neck gradually turned red all the way to her ears as she then buried her face in the blanket and wailed. Her throat was sore.

What the hell were the words I recklessly said last night?!

The words she couldn’t bring herself to say normally... she said them all last night while being teased by Lu Lixing.

*T/N: In this case, “食髓知味” (shí suǐ zhī wèi) means that you’ll further know someone’s true essence or personality when you spend a long time with them.

She really didn’t want to spend every night like how newlyweds did, it was way too exhausting.

“A man is better busy,” Lu Lixing whispered to her. Suddenly, her ears felt hot.

“By the way, the police had investigated the matter which happened yesterday and the suspect has been confirmed to be a mental patient. The police also recorded a confession from Shen Weiwei. She admitted that she did mention you to the suspect in the elevator that day, but she didn’t expect the suspect to do such a thing like that to you.”

Lu Lixing’s brows and eyes were sunken slightly. He had a dangerous and solemn expression on his face. “According to the police, the case has nothing to do with Shen Weiwei.”

Ji Qingqing nodded her head.

This has nothing to do with Shén Weiwei, of course.

Rushing footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by Aunt Pei’s voice shouting, “Second Young Master has come back.”

Lu Liting walked in, with sweat still on his head, panting. He quickly strode into the living room and dazedly stared at Ji Qingqing.

Grandpa Lu furrowed his brows, his face full of annoyance. “What’s the hurry for? Go wash your face first.”

Lu Liting kept his eyes fixed on Ji Qingqing for a while, but due to the sharp gaze of Lu Lixing by his side, he had to withdraw his gaze.

“I heard that you were kidnapped yesterday?”

Ji Qingqing did not expect him to ask about this, but he probably heard about it quickly due to Shen Weiwei’s involvement in this matter.

So she met his gaze with ease and smiled. “Thanks to Lixing who saved me, I’m okay.”

Lu Liting seemed to be slightly stunned due to her response. It took a while for him to force out a smile. “It’s good as long as you’re okay...”

Grandpa Lu asked him, “Isn’t your company still in the developmental stages? Don’t you still have many things to do? Why did you come back today?”

“Actually... I’m not that busy.”

Lu Lixing slightly lowered his eyelids and pulled out his phone while they were talking, and sent a text message.
