Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Let Him Be Overjoyed to Become a Father
“How do you know it’s not suitable without trying? To alleviate, you have to experiment first, and then find the experience to ease it,” he said with a cold yet smiling brow and eyes, “Nannan, right?”
What a load of bull!
How could he manage to say something so erotic with such an icy face?
Jiang Nanshu suddenly felt dry-mouthed and tongue-tied, her fair hand gripping the blanket nervously, lowering her head and anxiously glancing left and right, trying to laugh it off, “But I have work to do tomorrow…”
“I’ve called to postpone it for you.”
“But I’m a martial arts director.”
“There are substitute instructors.”
“But…”
“We’re short on time.”
Lu Qingyan got into the bed, pinned Jiang Nanshu down, and silenced all the words she intended to say.
In the midst of confusion and passion, Jiang Nanshu had a moment of clarity flashing through her mind before drifting back into the entanglement.
“Lu Qingyan, be gentle…”
…
At dawn.
Jiang Nanshu opened her eyes.
The warmth and coolness beside her in the bed.
The chaotic memories of the previous night came together, and she awoke in an instant, sitting up only to feel her body sore and aching terribly.
She had been intimate with Lu Qingyan.
Jiang Nanshu patted her head, not feeling so much regret, but a bit annoyed; she had originally planned to offer herself when there was no other choice, but it just happened so inexplicably yesterday.
Lifting the blanket, her pajamas were loosely tied around her, and at a glance, she could see marks on her exposed calves, with the most obvious bruising around her waist.
Some memories were so chaotic and embarrassing that they made Jiang Nanshu’s fair face turn a thin shade of pink.
This damn man, he really treated her like a piece of meat.
As she was lost in thoughts, the room door was opened and then closed.
Lu Qingyan, holding a small bag, saw Jiang Nanshu awake and sitting on the bed in a daze, raised his eyebrows slightly, “Don’t you want to sleep a bit longer?”
Jiang Nanshu looked at him, biting her teeth, “It hurts! How can I sleep?”
He took out a tube of ointment from the bag, his handsome face showing a faint expression, the corner of his lips carrying a slight smile, “I bought you some medicine, it’ll feel better when you apply it.”
“And we’ll have breakfast when you get up.”
Jiang Nanshu watched him approach with panic, swiftly wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, “Leave the medicine, and go out.”
Lu Qingyan didn’t insist and simply said, “I have to catch a plane to return to Beijing soon.”
Then he placed Jiang Nanshu’s fully charged phone next to her hand, “Respond to my message, don’t make me worry.”
[What a jerk, hits and runs.]
Jiang Nanshu didn’t respond but condemned him in her heart.
Lu Qingyan sat beside the bed, tenderly kissing Jiang Nanshu’s forehead, “Call me if you have any problems, I’ll come over whenever you need.”
Before Jiang Nanshu could even respond,
Her room door was powerfully knocked on, the voice of Chu Muxi rang out, “Jiang Nanshu! Get out here now! Have you no shame, daring to stay in the same room with my Brother Qingyan! Get out, you shameless thing.”
“Somebody! Smash this door open for me!”
She was causing a commotion outside.
Lu Qingyan’s previously gentle expression vanished, disgust floating in his peach blossom eyes.
But when facing Jiang Nanshu, his voice remained gentle, “I’ve left breakfast on the table for you, I’ll go handle her; you rest well and remember to apply the ointment.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
If she hadn’t misheard, Lu Qingyan said he would “take care of it.”
Given the transcender’s personality, she would have surely sought recognition from Lu Qingyan long ago.
But the disgust in the depths of Lu Qingyan’s eyes was genuine; she didn’t know what the transcender had said to Lu Qingyan to elicit such an emotion.
Even back when the transcender was still in possession of her body, Lu Qingyan’s dislike of her wasn’t this intense.
Lu Qingyan stepped out for no more than a minute.
Chu Muxi’s voice then disappeared.
By the time Jiang Nanshu had finished getting ready, Lu Qingyan had sent her a message about his boarding.
She replied briefly and then headed for the cemetery in the Western Suburb.
Zhou Zhenghui was already inside.
The Zhou Family’s butler guarded the main gate.
It wasn’t until he saw Jiang Nanshu that he respectfully led her in.
Fresh fruit remained at his tombstone—
It must have been brought by Zhou Zhenghui, as there was a layer of unattended dust covering the headstone.
The black and white photo on it was of Zhou Yanxu in his youth.
Although she knew it wasn’t the Zhou Yanxu she spent her days with, Jiang Nanshu still reached out to wipe the dust from his headstone.
“The arsonist is about to be released from prison,” Zhou Zhenghui suddenly said.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu looking at him, he sighed lightly, “Because it was deemed an accidental fire, no matter how much we questioned him, the man claimed it was an accident. The police couldn’t do anything—it’s a human life he’s responsible for, and he couldn’t compensate enough, so he served four years and will be out next week.”
Jiang Nanshu’s eyelashes drooped, “Prison is a huge advantage for him; people who harm others like that should be put to death.”
Zhou Zhenghui nodded in deep agreement, “Indeed, but it’s a pity that Zhou Yanxu’s death was eventually dismissed as an accidental fire.”
He paused, perhaps feeling a kinship with Jiang Nanshu, a stranger, who also seemed to find the incident of Zhou Yanxu’s demise unjustifiable.
He smiled, “If I didn’t know you were the daughter of the Jiang Family from Beijing, based on your intense interest in Zhou Yanxu, I might have thought you were the arsonist’s daughter here for revenge.”
“Why would you say that?” asked Jiang Nanshu, puzzled.
“Because you both have the surname Jiang. I’m probably being too sensitive. In Hua Country, with a population of 1.4 billion, there are all kinds of family names. It’s not uncommon for many people to share the same surname.”
Jiang Nanshu was silent for a moment before she confirmed it.
This arsonist was the one who mistreated her real-world parents.
How could such demons be fit to live on this earth, polluting the air?
Her tone was very light, “Being their child must be very unfortunate.”
“Let’s let bygones be bygones. It’s been so many years. As long as they quietly leave Port City, I’ll pretend I don’t know them,” said Zhou Zhenghui, who has always engaged in legitimate business and has never harmed anyone, let alone considered killing.
Jiang Nanshu seriously wiped the tombstone clean, raised her hand to pat it gently, as if to console him.
Zhou Zhenghui moved to one side, instructing someone to clean Zhou Yanxu’s grave thoroughly.
Then Jiang Nanshu whispered softly, “Let me avenge you, starting with that couple.”
…
The crew
In Su Ran’s private resting area.
There were two bodyguards outside.
Inside, only he and Su Ran were present.
At that moment, Su Ran appeared somewhat agitated, “How can I pretend to be your uncle’s daughter? That’s completely impossible! You know very well that I have no connection to the Zhou Family at all.”
Zhou Yanbai wore a relaxed expression, a crooked smile playing on his lips, “What could I possibly not accomplish? If I say you are, then you must be.”
Su Ran knew how domineering and authoritarian he was. She pursed her lips, not wanting to argue with him, but instead placed her hand on her stomach, “This child inside me is yours. If your plan succeeds, what does that make our relationship as cousins? Do you want to commit incest with me?”
The satisfaction of retaliation surged when she uttered those words, and seeing Zhou Yanbai frown only added to her pleasure.
However, her triumph was short-lived. Zhou Yanbai soon relaxed his brow, his smile deepening, “Don’t you like Lu Qingyan? How about letting him happily play the father?”
