My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 654 - 017: Warmth
"Guest room." Lu Jingang’s eyes narrowed slightly, his thin lips moving coldly.
Actually, Mu Lezhu also knew she was supposed to sleep in the guest room. He had already mentioned it before her shower. It was just that the earlier atmosphere was too awkward, and she couldn’t really bear it, so she wanted to ease the situation with this topic. But for the moment, she didn’t know what to say, so she casually asked. His answer was, of course, within her expectations.
"Um... okay." Mu Lezhu clutched her robe collar with both hands, nodded, glanced around, and pointed to the left side with her hand: "Um... is... is it this one?"
Lu Jingang’s Adam’s apple rolled lightly, but he didn’t speak; his eyes were filled with a cold glint, looking indifferently at her, which could be seen as tacit agreement. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Mu Lezhu, feeling a bit embarrassed, lowered her head, instinctively touched her nose, and unnaturally dragged out her tone: "Oh... then I’ll go to sleep first." After saying that, she quickly turned around and went to the guest room.
The guest room was clean enough, but evidently, no one had lived in it. However, it was tidied particularly clean and neat, making it quite comforting for someone like her who had a slight cleanliness obsession and OCD.
Since she had drunk alcohol in the evening and was a bit drunk, combined with just having soaked in a hot bath, she felt indeed relaxed so the fatigue set in. After closing the door, she threw herself on the bed very comfortably; it was even more soft and cozy than she imagined, and this made her unable to resist falling asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingang stayed in place, gazing in the direction she had just left. The entire house was quiet; after finishing the remaining water in the bottle, he casually closed the refrigerator door and tossed the empty bottle into the trash can. Yet, a faint trace of peculiarity crossed his mind.
Originally, this empty villa suddenly had another person, and it seemed to feel warmer than before.
After being dazed for a while, Lu Jingang gathered his thoughts and turned around to return to his room.
The next day.
When Mu Lezhu woke up, the spring sunlight had already spilled into the room from the window sill, and she naturally opened her eyes.
This sleep was rather comfortable; she had previously always had trouble falling asleep in unfamiliar places, but she didn’t know whether it was the effect of the alcohol or something else, she slept sweeter than usual.
After getting up and changing her clothes, she found brand-new toiletries in the bathroom cabinet then came out and just happened to run into Aunt Chen, who was doing cleaning work outside.
They looked at each other in the living room, stunned for a moment, and then Aunt Chen asked in surprise: "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"
"Um..." At this moment, Mu Lezhu was actually a bit embarrassed, a little at a loss for words, and didn’t know how to explain.
If she deliberately said she was his fiancée, it always felt like showing off, which she didn’t like.
"Mu Lezhu."
"Ah?"
In the room filled with some awkwardness, suddenly came a cold familiar male voice, which made Mu Lezhu, who was a bit uneasy, reflexively respond, turning her head to look in his direction.
"Wh... what’s up?" Mu Lezhu looked at Lu Jingang, who was refreshed yet still wore an indifferent face, stunned for two seconds, then spoke in confusion, almost unable to speak fluently.
Lu Jingang glanced at Aunt Chen, didn’t say more, and went back into his room.
"Oh, sorry, so it’s Miss Mu, just now I was being rude. I am Mr. Lu’s housekeeper, responsible for the household cleaning and breakfast." With Lu Jingang saying that, Aunt Chen immediately understood Mu Lezhu’s identity, politely apologized, and explained her own identity.
