Lu Chengwen’s blood ran cold!
It’s like a web novel… you never know how the minor villain will die.
Sometimes the author’s imagination is just… as disgusting as shit.
Did the female lead just end up in my bed after I fell asleep?
Is that even allowed?
Goodness, I spent the whole day avoiding crossing the line, and then you guys maxed out my hate value while I was asleep?
Isn’t this bullying the bad guy!
Sweat poured down Lu Chengwen’s forehead, and his whole body stiffened, not daring to move.
His mind was already picturing Long Aotian bursting into his house, smashing his head with a single palm, and then pulling Leng Qingqiu into a sappy romance drama plot…
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu was incredibly beautiful.
A beauty in deep sleep, with the morning… or rather, midday sun shining in, hitting her perfect face, making even every single eyelash look so perfect and exquisite.
She slept so soundly, so relaxed, so beautiful, so sweetly…
But Lu Chengwen had no mind to admire the beauty; he knew his life hung by a thread.
If he didn’t handle this well, he might very well be written out of the story and sent off to collect his lunchbox.
However, at this very moment, Leng Qingqiu was resting her head on his arm, sleeping very peacefully.
Lu Chengwen quickly thought: Calm down! I can handle this! But I need to be quick!
Lu Chengwen slowly extended his other hand, gently supporting Leng Qingqiu’s head, and slowly tried to pull his arm out.
He slowly retreated his body, but Leng Qingqiu, in her deep sleep, must have been dreaming, for she frowned and leaned forward, snuggling into Lu Chengwen’s embrace, not only continuing to rest on his right arm but also naturally wrapping her arms around his left arm.
Lu Chengwen was in a panic!
What if Long Aotian saw this?
Lu Chengwen waited for Leng Qingqiu to fall back into a deeper sleep, then slowly began to move again.
Supporting her head, slowly pulling out his arm, pulling over a pillow to put under her…
He thought to himself:
“Good girl, don’t wake up. You’re exhausted, so sleep well.”
“I’m just going to disappear; I definitely didn’t take advantage of you on purpose. I’m confused too.”
“Sweet Qingqiu, it’s almost done. When you wake up, you’ll be the only one in this room.”
Lu Chengwen finally managed it.
He let out a breath, but just as he was about to get up, he saw Leng Qingqiu’s eyes wide open, staring straight at him.
She had no expression, neither angry nor happy, neither speaking nor moving, just looking at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen swallowed hard: “I… I can explain!”
Lu Chengwen accidentally fell off the bed, then scrambled back up quickly.
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu’s eyes were wide open, without any of the airs of a CEO, like a harmless little animal, curiously looking at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen stood on the floor, sincerely confessing: “I didn’t do anything.”
“Really. It’s just that you drank too much yesterday, didn’t you! Oh, you were talking nonsense from drinking so much, and others wanted to take you away. How was I supposed to know if your subordinates were reliable or not, so I could only bring you home, you understand, right?”
“But I didn’t do anything!”
“I originally settled you in the guest room, but I don’t know why you suddenly appeared in my bedroom. Oh, this is the guest room. Haha! Good. Really, I didn’t do anything!”
“It’s just… I went to the Pharmaceutical Factory yesterday, and there was a batch of medicine that needed to be destroyed overnight. I was half-dead with exhaustion, and when I came back, I clearly went to my own room, but I don’t know why I just…”
Lu Chengwen was almost crying: “I swear to God I didn’t do anything!”
When Leng Qingqiu opened her eyes, she saw this guy being cautious, moving gently, even holding his breath, slowly lifting her arm and placing it properly, and even pulling the quilt over her exposed calves…
She was incredibly intelligent and understood instantly.
This guy wanted to run away.
She could tell this guy was almost scared to pee, with sweat beading on his forehead, clearly completely unprepared for the current situation. He wanted to escape quickly without disturbing her.
And her clothes were still on, which clearly meant “he didn’t do anything.”
So Leng Qingqiu was not only not angry, but found this silly guy a bit amusing.
Thus, she quietly watched him perform.
It was brilliant.
Especially when he realized she was awake, he completely panicked.
He stammered endlessly with explanations.
Leng Qingqiu was also quite mischievous.
She just didn’t speak, watching his performance.
She also had no expression, giving him no emotional cues, just letting him improvise.
Leng Qingqiu watched him until he was almost at his breaking point, then, suppressing a smile, she calmly said, “It’s fine.”
Leng Qingqiu sat up, stretched her neck, and was as calm as if nothing had happened.
This was completely unexpected for Lu Chengwen.
“What’s going on?”
“Shouldn’t she be screaming? Shouldn’t she be calling me a beast, an animal, a bastard?”
“How… is it fine? So I don’t need to explain anymore?”
“Or is she holding back, waiting to escape my clutches before finding someone to beat me up?”
“Does she even have a clear understanding of the current situation? My goodness, I really didn’t do anything!”
Leng Qingqiu covered her mouth, yawned, and then got out of bed.
Lu Chengwen quickly and fawningly handed her new slippers.
Leng Qingqiu naturally put on the slippers, looked at her face in the dressing mirror, patted it, adjusted her hairstyle, as naturally as if she were in her own home.
Lu Chengwen stood behind her, hands clasped in front of him, nervously saying:
“Uh… say something, please. You being like this… I… I’m scared.”
Leng Qingqiu turned her head: “Why did you come to my room to sleep?”
Lu Chengwen quickly said: “I don’t know! I swear to God I really don’t know! I was exhausted to the point of collapse yesterday, and I fell asleep as soon as I lay down when I got back… Maybe it’s because it was my first day here, and after collapsing from exhaustion, my memory of the rooms got a little messed up or something, but I really didn’t do anything!”
Leng Qingqiu couldn’t hold back, turned around, and secretly smiled, then seriously said:
“I’m going to wash up. You go out.”
“Yes!”
Lu Chengwen turned and shot out of the room like a rocket, closing the door and leaning against it, letting out a breath.
“Heavens! I got my life back!”
“If she had been convinced I did it on purpose, I wouldn’t have been able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River!”
“Looking at it this way, Leng Qingqiu is pretty good; she’s quite reasonable!”
Leng Qingqiu, hearing all this through the room door, no longer held back and secretly laughed.
She thought to herself: This blockhead, I heard all his inner thoughts and he doesn’t even know it.
If you had done it on purpose, do you think I would have spared you?
…
After Lu Chengwen washed up, he took the elevator to the first-floor restaurant.
He walked in and saw the whole family eating together.
Lu Chengwen was starving.
Having just escaped a close call made him joyful and radiant: “Oh, everyone’s here? Dad, Mama, good morning. Oh my, the food today is good! Quick, quick, Xia Yi, get me a bowl of rice, goodness I’m starving…”
Xia Yi stood still, awkwardly forcing a smile, not moving.
“Serve the rice!” Lu Chengwen looked at Xia Yi: “What’s wrong?”
He then looked at his family, finding everyone very quiet.
Only Lu Guanghong wasn’t looking at him, his face expressionless, eyes fixed on the dishes, eating with loud crunching sounds.
Lu Chengwen knew something was wrong.
He forced a smile: “Dad, is… something wrong?”
Lu Guanghong finally looked up at Lu Chengwen: “What did you do last night?”
Lu Chengwen understood.
“Oh! I can explain!” Lu Chengwen said: “That batch of medicine was substandard. Speaking of which, it’s my younger brother’s fault. To cut costs, he actually skimped on fine ingredients. Dad, we can’t spoil my brother anymore. That’s medicine; it saves lives! Don’t let him touch the Pharmaceutical Factory business anymore…”
Lu Guanghong didn’t know where he pulled out a broom handle from.
Yes, the Lu family tradition was to always have a broom handle, the kind of basic cleaning tool that ordinary rural families always kept at home.
Even if the family lived in a five-story grand villa, they still had to have a broom handle.
The broom handle was the Lu family’s totem!
It was the Lu family’s educational artifact!
It was the Lu family’s calming needle!
It was the nightmare of the Lu family’s younger generation!
Lu Chengwen immediately stood up, taking a step back: “Dad, let’s talk. Why are you grabbing a weapon? That batch of medicine really can’t be sold! Can’t you just let me bear the loss of money?”
“I can afford to lose a few hundred million! I dared to hand the business over to you, so I’m not afraid of you losing money.”
“Then what is this about, Dad…”
“I’m asking you, what did you do yesterday? What did you do to Qingqiu?”
Only then did Lu Chengwen realize that his father was upset about this matter.
“I can explain this too!”
“Explain your ass! I’ll beat you first, then you can explain!”
Lu Guanghong leaped up, agile and swift.
“Hey? Dad! Dad, Dad! No, ouch! It hurts! Oh, Dad! I really didn’t do anything!”
“You didn’t do anything? What kind of person you are, do you think I wouldn’t know? Damn it, every man knows how to chase women, but using such despicable methods against your own fiancée, is that how I taught you? If I don’t beat you to death today, then this broom handle is useless!”
“Dad, what did the broom handle ever do to anyone? Please listen to my explanation first!”
“Explanation? Why don’t you explain to the weapon in my hand? You’re still running? You stand here! Stand here, do you hear me? Pull down your pants yourself and show me your butt!”
Lu Mama quickly intervened: “Guanghong, Chengwen is already in his twenties and about to get married, you can’t keep pulling down his pants and spanking his butt.”
“If I don’t beat him, he won’t learn!”
Lu Chengwen was depressed to death: “It’s really a misunderstanding, why don’t you believe me?”
“Believe you? I’d believe anyone but you, you scoundrel!”
“Dad, don’t pull my pants down, oh, save me some face!”
The father and son started wrestling in the restaurant.
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu stood on the stairs, awkwardly coughed, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s, and said with a blush: “Hello, Uncle, hello, Auntie.”
Lu Guanghong instantly stopped, straightened his body abruptly, and hid the broom handle behind him: “Oh, Qingqiu, you’re awake. Quick, quick, you must be hungry. Let’s eat first, eat first.”
Lu Chengwen quickly pulled up his pants with a whoosh, his face flushed red.
Could he be any more humiliated? Being stripped and spanked by his father in front of his fiancée was utterly mortifying.
Leng Qingqiu truly found the father and son’s actions so comical that she was speechless. She wanted to laugh but felt it would be impolite, so she was both shy and trying to suppress her laughter.
She had only heard about the Lu family’s traditions before, but seeing them today, she realized they were even more simple and unpretentious than rumored.
Lu Mama also hurried over, taking Leng Qingqiu’s hand: “Qingqiu, are you hungry? My Chengwen is immature, he forced you to drink, didn’t he? Next time, don’t indulge him, don’t give him face. If he acts up again, just tell us, and your uncle and I will support you.”
Leng Qingqiu was the eldest daughter of the Leng family.
She was the Chief Executive Officer of Qianfeng Group.
Noble and elegant, a successful woman in high society.
Now, she had gotten drunk and ended up staying overnight at someone’s home, and it was her fiancé’s home, with her future in-laws now knowing… it was truly damaging to her image.
How would her future in-laws view her now? What kind of woman would she become?
She was incredibly embarrassed, her face flushed all the way to her neck, as red as a boiled crab.
No matter how strong a woman was, facing such a situation would reveal her shy, girlish side.
She lowered her head, her voice faint: “Uncle, Auntie, it’s really… a misunderstanding… Last night… I was just too willful. Chengwen didn’t… do anything to me.”
Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu’s shy, downcast expression and instantly froze in infatuation.
He then snapped out of it and jumped in front of his father: “See! See, see, see! How about that? She said it herself, I didn’t do anything!”
Lu Guanghong tapped Lu Chengwen on the head with the broom handle: “Shut up!”
