Chapter 671: Chapter 669: A Woman’s Heart, a Needle at the Bottom of the Sea (Chapters 668 and 669 Combined)

She slowly lifted her eyes, gave him a faint glance, lowered her gaze, and said no more.

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

It’s not just any woman who would react badly upon hearing such things, even he, a grown man, took several days to digest the fact. Heaven knows how relieved he is, thankfully Xiao Qing was sent to the orphanage since she was young, and though alone, she grew up healthy.

If he ever finds the person who sent her away, he would surely express his gratitude, but he has no clue about that person.

Xiao Qing did not speak, still quietly hugging herself, her chin resting on her knees, within his reach.

"Don’t overthink it, overthinking is pointless. Let’s go, I’ve cooked something, let’s eat together."

Having said that, he reached out, wanting to pull Xiao Qing up.

However, before he could steady himself, she withdrew her hand from his palm.

"I’m not hungry," she said.

HIs eyes deep and dark like a dangerous pond, he watched her helpless appearance and finally tempered his temper, trying to speak softly to her, "Then don’t stay here too long, I’ll go eat something and come back."

"Mm."

Lu Jinyang gave her a deep look, turned around, and left the dressing room. He didn’t see that as he turned around, Xiao Qing suddenly looked at him, her expression sad.

...

After eating and returning to the room, Xiao Qing was already lying in bed, her back facing his direction. From his perspective, he couldn’t tell if she was asleep.

Lu Jinyang did not approach her immediately but stood by the bed, staring at the person curled up under the blanket.

After a long while, he stepped over, walked around to the other side of the bed, stopped at the bedside on Xiao Qing’s side, squatted down, and watched her sleeping face without blinking.

A moment later, a slight smile curled up at the corners of his lips.

His slender fingers slowly reached to her eyelashes, lightly touched them. Almost immediately, he felt a nearly imperceptible sensation, the gentle, soft, ticklish feeling of her eyelashes sweeping against his fingertips.

His tranquil heart was stirred up just like that.

He swallowed involuntarily, his long fingers pressing lightly on her eyelashes to keep them from fluttering, clearly seeing her eyeballs moving beneath her eyelids.

Suddenly, Lu Jinyang got a mischievous impulse, he moved his fingers slightly, shifting his fingertip over her eye, feeling her eye moving.

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

"Did I wake you?" he chuckled softly.

"..." How could she not wake up?

"Don’t sleep yet, accompany me for a chat." With that, he leapt onto the bed beside her.

Xiao Qing, unguarded, almost thought she was going to be crushed by him.

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

"Hmm, walking there would waste too much time, this is faster."

Xiao Qing: "..."

He crawled into the bed, lay down, and hugged her tightly from behind, pulling her into his arms.

She didn’t like this sudden intimacy, especially since she was still angry with him, so she symbolically struggled a few times. Unable to break free, she let him hold her.

Noticing this little movement of hers, Lu Jinyang quietly curled the corners of his mouth behind her.

After waiting a long time without hearing a sound, Xiao Qing elbowed the man behind her, "Hey, weren’t we going to chat?"

"Hmm. Thinking of a topic~"

"..." She thought he had something to say to her since he mentioned wanting to talk, only to find out he was looking for a new topic. In an instant, Xiao Qing’s already gloomy mood became even more unbearable.

"Are you angry, huh?"

"Boring!" Xiao Qing swatted his hand away and pulled the blanket up a bit to cover her face.

However, it wasn’t long before he pulled the blanket down again, and Xiao Qing pulled it back up, only for him to pull it down once more. Seeing her preparing to pull the blanket back up again, Lu Jinyang sternly held her restless hand down, preventing her from moving.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

"No!"

"If you don’t let go, I’m going to get angry!"

"You’re already angry."

Xiao Qing was just about to say that he knew she was angry and still treated her this way, but he spoke before she could: "Tell me, what are you angry about?"

At his words, she was initially stunned, then her eyes widened in disbelief.

He actually asked her what she was angry about?

Thinking back to how he ignored her and her friends’ disappearance a few days ago, she could not contain the rising anger within her heart. Yet, he seemed utterly oblivious to how cold his actions had made her feel then.

"Lu Jinyang, you’re sure you don’t know?"

Xiao Qing turned around to face him, wishing she could glare a hole through his face.

However, faced with her questioning, Lu Jinyang shook his head in confusion, "Should I know?"

After finishing his sentence, he realized he misspoke. Before Xiao Qing could get angry, he quickly corrected himself, "No, I mean, do I look like I should know?"

She gritted her teeth, "Lu! Jinyang! Is your heart even made of flesh?"

His expression darkened, "Or is it made of iron?"

"Who knows!" After saying that, she turned her face away, fuming.

Now it was Lu Jinyang’s turn to be at a loss for words. He didn’t know what she was angry about, and in his view, he hadn’t said anything wrong.

Indeed, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

After a good while, with Xiao Qing not turning back, he silently sighed, reached out to turn her face towards him, and tried to soften his voice a bit, "Alright, it’s my fault, but you have to tell me what I did wrong."

That sentence suddenly made Xiao Qing laugh.

She said sarcastically, "Knowing you’re wrong without knowing what you did wrong, probably only you could manage to do such a thing."

"So, what did I do wrong?"

Xiao Qing realized what kind of man she had married, even feeling a bit relieved that they had skipped five years of adjustment period together. Otherwise, dealing with such a straightforward man, how many times would she have been silently angry during those five years?

Without dwelling on it any further, she asked what had been on her mind, "What have you been doing all this time?"

"The thing you saw today."

Xiao Qing frowned, "Did that take so long?"

Lu Jinyang tousled her messy hair, his warm breath tickling the top of her head.

He said, "It took some time to arrange. At first, I thought those people targeted you specifically with the Contraceptive Ring, but later I found out there’s a lot more to it."

With that explanation, Xiao Qing suddenly remembered that she still didn’t know why they had implanted so many Contraceptive Rings in her, and asked, "Do you know why they put so many Contraceptive Rings inside me?"
