My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 684 - 048: Tsundere
Mu Lezhu was also eating with great enjoyment, fully satisfying her recently overly hungry stomach, completely ignoring Lu Jingang.
Watching her eat so delightfully, Lu Jingang had no intention of serving the ginger soup. Seeing the dishes spread out on the table, though he had already had dinner and didn’t usually enjoy late-night snacks, he oddly developed an appetite and felt an urge to eat.
Just as Mu Lezhu was happily eating, she saw Lu Jingang beside her reach out and pick up the bowl of white rice opposite him, while using the other hand to start picking up food with his chopsticks.
"Aren’t you not eating?" Mu Lezhu turned her gaze to him, asking with a bit of confusion and understanding.
"I suddenly felt like eating, is that not okay?" A trace of awkwardness passed over Lu Jingang’s face, but he looked especially self-righteous, not at all appearing guilty.
Seeing his proud yet unyielding manner, she was both amused and annoyed: "Okay, of course it’s okay, then eat more, but this ginger soup is something you must drink today before you leave, don’t even think about getting away with it."
"Did I say I won’t drink it?"
"You may not have said it, but your face clearly says ’I don’t want to drink it’ in bold letters, I can see it crystal clear." Mu Lezhu looked at him with a fake smile, but she could clearly see his disdain for the ginger soup.
Lu Jingang pursed his lips, glancing at the bowl of ginger soup out of the corner of his eye. He hadn’t even picked it up yet, and he could already smell that strong ginger aroma, which really made him feel a bit resistant.
Seeing Lu Jingang not retorting, Mu Lezhu was further certain that he was mentally resisting this bowl of ginger soup, so she kindly advised, "Actually, it’s just the smell that’s bad, drinking it is okay. You probably haven’t drunk anything like this before, right?"
"Do I look like someone who gets caught in the rain?"
Mu Lezhu was speechless, blinking in defeat, silently enduring his wave of disdain.
After finishing the meal, Mu Lezhu’s gaze kept darting back and forth between him and the bowl of ginger soup, making Lu Jingang a bit irritable, he directly glared back, asking with displeasure, "Had enough of looking?"
"Just drink it! It won’t be effective once it’s cold; it’s still warm now." For his outburst, Mu Lezhu was indifferent, testing the warmth of the ginger soup with the back of her hand, continuing to urge.
"Not drinking it, I’m leaving." Lu Jingang stood up coolly, speaking coldly, and unkindly turned around to head towards the door.
"Lu Jingang, you’ll easily catch a cold that way." Mu Lezhu, with her leg not well enough to catch up, could only shout at his back.
But Lu Jingang had no intention of paying her any mind, stepping directly out of Mu Lezhu’s room wearing his cotton slippers.
In the end, with the help of the housekeeper, Lu Jingang still went to the garage to drive his own car away from the Mu Family. Mu Lezhu couldn’t do anything about him; after all, it was indeed getting late, and the rain outside showed no signs of stopping. It would be better for him to go home, have a hot bath, and sleep it off.
On the next day, since the weather in Nancheng was still drizzly and breezy, coupled with Mu Lezhu’s leg not being very convenient for walking, she didn’t go to the company and instead had a chiropractor come to her house to check her twisted leg.
In the afternoon after waking from a nap, Mu Lezhu was initially planning to call Lu Jingang to ask about his dinner invitation, but before she could dial his number, Jian Qin’s call came in, asking her about the follow-up issues regarding the rear-end collision compensation and matters at the factory. After putting all her thoughts into work, she completely forgot about needing to call Lu Jingang.
