Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 670 - 668: Letting Him Hold Her

She slowly raised her eyes, gave him a faint glance, then lowered her gaze and fell silent again.

He sighed deeply, "Is it because of what you just heard that’s affecting you?"

It’s not just any woman who would have a negative reaction after knowing these things; even he, as a man, took several days to come to terms with the fact. God knows how grateful he is, thankful that Xiao Qing had been sent to the orphanage since she was young. Although alone in the world, at least she grew up healthy.

If he ever found the person who sent her away, he would be sure to express his deep gratitude, but regarding that person, he had not the slightest clue.

Xiao Qing remained silent, continuing to hug herself quietly with her chin resting on her knees, within his reach.

"Don’t overthink things; it’s pointless. Come on, I’ve made something to eat. Let’s have something together."

With that said, he reached out, trying to pull Xiao Qing up.

However, before he had steadied himself, she withdrew her hand from the palm of his hand.

"I’m not hungry," she said.

The man’s profound eyes were as dangerous as the dark depths of a pool, gazing at her helpless figure, eventually tempering his irritation as he tried to speak to her in a gentler tone, "Then don’t stay here too long, I’ll eat something and come back."

"Mm."

Lu Jinyang took a lingering look at her, turned around, and left the dressing room. He didn’t see that, as he turned away, Xiao Qing suddenly looked towards him, her expression sorrowful.

After eating and returning to the room, Xiao Qing was already lying in bed, her back facing his direction. From his angle, he could not tell if she was asleep.

Lu Jinyang didn’t approach her immediately but stood by the bed, staring at the curled-up figure under the blanket.

Not sure how long he had been watching, he lifted his foot, walked around to the other side of the bed, stopped by Xiao Qing’s side of the bed, squatted down, and stared unwaveringly at her sleeping face.

After a while, a smile suddenly played at the corners of his mouth.

His slender fingers slowly reached towards her eyelashes, touching them lightly. Instantly, a nearly imperceptible sensation transmitted to his fingertips, caused by the soft brushing of her eyelashes against them, soft, gentle, and ticklish.

The tranquility of his heart was stirred by this gentle provocation.

He swallowed reflexively, his long fingers pressing lightly on her eyelashes to still them, clearly seeing the eyeballs moving under her eyelids.

Lu Jinyang suddenly felt mischievous, deliberately moving his finger, shifting his fingertip over her eyes to feel them moving.

Suddenly, his wrist was caught and then pushed away, and Xiao Qing, who had her eyes closed just moments ago, opened them and angrily glared at Lu Jinyang.

"Did I wake you?" He chuckled softly.

"..." How could she not be awake?

"Don’t go back to sleep; keep me company for a bit." With those words, he leapt onto the bed, beside her.

Xiao Qing, caught off guard, almost thought she was going to be crushed by him.

"Lu Jinyang, can’t you just walk properly?"

"Hm, walking over would have wasted too much time; this way is faster."

Xiao Qing: "..."

He slipped into the covers, lay down, and from behind her, wrapped his arms tightly around her, pulling her into his embrace.

She didn’t like this sudden intimacy, especially since she was still angry with him, so she put up a symbolic struggle, failing to break free, she let him hold her. However, her hands were guarding her key parts, not wanting to give him any advantage.

Noticing her little action, Lu Jinyang secretly curled the corners of his mouth behind her.
