My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 651 - 014:
After hanging up the phone, Mu Lezhu stood in the corridor, quietly watching the scattered stars on the blue curtain, waiting for Lu Jingang to arrive.
After waiting for about ten minutes without seeing Lu Jingang’s figure, Mu Lezhu couldn’t help but feel a bit impatient. She looked around, but the corridor was still empty. After some thought, she picked up her phone and sent him a message on WeChat, asking if he was coming or not.
Another two minutes passed, and Mu Lezhu almost burned a hole through her phone screen from staring at it, yet there was still no reply from Lu Jingang. This made her, who was usually gentle and proud, a little angry, feeling as if she was being made a fool of, and her mood took a sharp turn.
Just as she was about to call Lu Jingang again, the sound of footsteps in leather shoes approached her ears. Her head instinctively turned, and suddenly, a familiar handsome face came into her clear eyes.
The heart that was originally anxious and impatient seemed to calm down at the sight of him. Her mood settled, and her expressionless face returned, though her elegant eyebrows remained furrowed.
When Lu Jingang saw her look over, he noticed the change in her expression and the transformation of that impatience and anger into calm in her eyes, making his slender eyes narrow instinctively.
As he got closer, about half a meter away, Lu Jingang realized that because she had drunk some wine, both her cheeks were flushed. Although her face was expressionless at this moment, looking a bit cold, the blush in her cheeks made her appear somewhat charming and a little sexy, along with an inexplicable cuteness.
This was a state he had never seen in her before; it was the first time he’d seen her blushing like this.
"Why did it take you so long to get here?" Mu Lezhu asked with a trace of displeasure in her tone.
Lu Jingang pressed his lips together and replied indifferently, "I was chatting with President Sun of Kang Zheng."
Hearing what he said, Mu Lezhu had nothing more to say, withdrew her gaze, and as she turned towards the door, she asked, "Did you greet Grandpa An and the others?"
"I did."
When they reached the car, the driver was already waiting inside. Seeing them approach, the driver quickly got out, nodded to greet them, and helped Lu Jingang open the car door.
In contrast, Mu Lezhu didn’t care about such things and directly opened the other car door and bent down to get in. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The air conditioning in the car made Mu Lezhu, who was already a bit sober from the alcohol, feel her head grow drowsy again. As the car drove a short distance, she leaned on her hand to support her head and closed her eyes to rest.
In general, unless he was driving himself, Lu Jingang had the habit of always looking at a tablet, cellphone, or reading documents or newspapers. So, while he was checking the daily report data on his tablet, he didn’t notice Mu Lezhu’s unusual state.
It wasn’t until the car arrived at the Lu Mountain Villa District where he lived that the driver in front reminded, "President Lu, Miss Mu is here."
Only then did Lu Jingang look up, realizing they had returned to his place, and his brows furrowed with slight displeasure as he asked, "Why are we back at Lu Mountain?"
"Uh, what?" The driver was a bit confused when he heard this, as the only addresses he knew were the company and the Lu Mountain Villa District!
Facing the driver’s innocent and uneasy eyes, Lu Jingang suddenly remembered that he hadn’t told him to go to Yuelan District where Mu Lezhu lived when they got in the car. He glanced instinctively at Mu Lezhu beside him and only then realized she had fallen asleep.
