Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 729 - 726: Such Lu Jinyang, He Can’t Afford to Offend!

The three of them sat in silence, the presence of such a dominant superior sitting there made Gu Li feel restless, so he said to Gu Chen, "I’ll go buy some fresh fruit for you; you’ll be able to eat some fruit soon."

"Okay."

As soon as Gu Li left, Gu Chen spoke up, "President Lu, you seem preoccupied today."

Since Lu Jinyang rarely looked so dispirited, Gu Chen tentatively asked him.

To his surprise, Lu Jinyang actually responded, "Hmm."

After a moment of astonishment, Gu Chen spoke again, "Are you going to tell me about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang looked up, his gaze disapproving as it swept over Gu Chen’s immobile body, "You should focus more on yourself."

Gu Chen: "..."

He seemed to have gotten used to Lu Jinyang’s way of speaking, so he didn’t ask further and simply closed his eyes to rest.

Some time had passed, and Gu Chen was almost asleep when suddenly he heard Lu Jinyang’s voice jolting him awake from his drowsiness.

"Gu Chen, if someone else touched your woman, what would you do?"

He: "..."

Gu Chen scowled but didn’t dare to accuse Lu Jinyang of jinxing his situation with that remark.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Chen quickly grasped the terrifying possibility, his eyes widening as he looked at him, "Your woman, has she gotten into trouble?"

"Hmm."

Gu Chen drew in a sharp breath.

Judging by Lu Jinyang’s demeanor, the trouble must be significant; otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically come to confide in him.

The two men sat in silence again.

After another while, Gu Chen asked, "Are you sure it actually happened?"

"Not sure," he said. "Ever since I learned of it, I haven’t been able to stay calm or make the right judgment."

Gu Chen nodded in agreement, thinking that if such a thing happened to him, he might not have Lu Jinyang’s composure at that moment.

"If you don’t mind, tell me the whole story, and I’ll help you analyze it."

Lu Jinyang didn’t reply but stood up and walked over to the window.

The sunlight streaming in through the balcony window cast a warm hue on him, yet Gu Chen perceived a sense of desolation.

Since he had known Lu Jinyang, he had never seen him troubled. However, since meeting Xiao Qing, he frequently encountered tricky situations and had even done quite a few childish things, like kidnapping Si Nanchen for a thorough beating.

These things he once disdained to do, he had done for the same woman, becoming childish more than once.

"No need, you better take care of yourself first."

Gu Chen: "..."

"When can you start eating?" Lu Jinyang turned, walking back to the sofa to sit down again. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Should be in the next couple of days, Li Yan said the recovery is going well."

"That’s good," he said, staring at Gu Chen’s abdomen for a long while, and just when Gu Chen thought he was zoning out again, he suddenly said, "It’s a good thing it’s not a kidney problem."

He: "..."

Gu Chen’s mood at that moment was beyond description by ordinary words.

Lu Jinyang, this guy, was actually hinting at such a matter with all seriousness. Gu Chen seriously suspected that when Lu Jinyang was with Xiao Qing, he must have not refrained from talking about such things, let alone using that thing...

"Even so, even if you recover now, it’ll be many months before you’ll need to use your kidneys."

Feeling blocked up inside, Gu Chen simply pulled the blanket up a bit to cover his head.

He couldn’t afford to provoke this version of Lu Jinyang!
