My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 680 - 043:
"Open the car door." As they reached the car, Lu Jingang spoke calmly.
Mu Lezhu was carrying a bag in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other, and it was already a bit of a struggle. After some deliberation, she finally managed to open the car door with the hand holding the bag.
Lu Jingang lifted his leg to push the door open a bit more, bent down, and helped her inside. Since she was still holding the umbrella over his head, as she got in, the umbrella hit the car roof, dislodging water droplets, which ended up spilling over Lu Jingang’s head.
"Ah, sorry..." Mu Lezhu looked at the water droplets on his tousled hair, feeling genuinely apologetic.
"Throw your bag in the back, give me the umbrella." Lu Jingang didn’t seem bothered by the detail, not concerned about a bit of rain.
"Oh... okay." Mu Lezhu didn’t argue and obediently did as he said. After all, it was already quite an inconvenience for him to come by on such a rainy day.
Lu Jingang took the umbrella from her hand and straightened up. As he was about to close the car door, he noticed that the shoe on her injured leg was already soaked through. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
With a slight frown, he calmly asked, "Did the wound get wet?"
Mu Lezhu glanced down at her leg, the fabric of both pants legs was damp, and her dad sneakers were almost completely soaked.
"It’s fine, the doctor used waterproof dressings when bandaging me. I’ll just replace them when I get home. I’m afraid the wound won’t breathe and might affect healing. You should get in the car, the rain seems to be getting heavier." Mu Lezhu shook her head lightly, looking at his tall figure standing in the rain, intentionally holding the umbrella over the door to prevent water from getting inside the car, which made her feel even more guilty.
Lu Jingang pressed his lips together without saying anything. After closing the car door, he walked around the front of the car to get into the driver’s seat. He started the car and the first thing he did was turn on the car’s air conditioner. He glanced at her again and reminded, "Seatbelt."
Mu Lezhu fastened her seatbelt automatically, then turned her head to look at him. Seeing the water droplets still clinging to his tousled hair, she felt genuinely apologetic inside but didn’t know what to say.
After the car drove some distance, Mu Lezhu began to feel her body warming up, her expression slowly relaxing, though there was a hint of fatigue on her face. She tried hard not to fall asleep.
When the car arrived at the gate of her villa, Mu Lezhu suddenly woke up fully, straightening her body as she looked at Lu Jingang, who coincidentally looked over at her too.
"I’ll walk you in." Lu Jingang eyed her leg, lips pressed together, looking both willing and somewhat unwilling as he unbuckled his seatbelt and spoke indifferently.
"There’s still some distance from the gate, and it’s raining so heavily outside! Maybe you could drive in? It would be better... in the garage!" Mu Lezhu genuinely offered a suggestion, but when faced with his deep gaze, she suddenly lost her confidence.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingang glanced at the villa behind the iron gate. The Mu Family, he had been here four or five times, so he didn’t think much before he restarted the car and drove to the front door.
Just as Lu Jingang was about to ask her how to open the iron gate, Mu Lezhu lowered the car window, took out her phone from her coat, and scanned it at the sensor by the gate. The gate slowly opened to both sides.
Lu Jingang stopped mid-sentence and drove the car toward the villa’s garage.
After Mu Lezhu opened the garage door, Lu Jingang casually found a spot to park. He pushed open the car door and walked directly to her side, looking down at her and making a motion to lift her, "Grab all your stuff."
