My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1006: Give Her a Massage

His chest felt as though it was being burned by raging fire, the pain scorching his heart. She already detested him so much; he couldn’t bear it—the disdain in her eyes even more so.

"But Old Ling wasn’t killed by you," Feiyu said anxiously.

Third Young Master Jun chuckled dismissively, "Do you think the truth still matters now? Whether it was me or not, in the end, I am still the murderer. Because it was I who led the ambush against Old Ling, it was I who planned everything. Do you think anyone would believe that I’m not the final killer?"

Feiyu was at a loss for words.

"For now, we should keep a close watch on every move of Ling Yan and his brothers. They had a deep affection for Old Ling and must be filled with hatred now. Be careful they don’t find out it was us." Despite their flawless retreat and meticulous planning,

there was no guarantee that no trace or clue would reveal their identity.

After all, Ling Yan and his brothers were no ordinary people.

...

Ye Lu spent several days confined to her room, only coming down for meals, and the rest of the time, she stayed in her room.

Thus, the opportunities to encounter Third Young Master Jun were virtually nonexistent.

She would not let him eat with her, and although it annoyed him, he had no choice; if he didn’t leave, she simply refused to eat.

So, for the most part, he just watched her from afar on the sofa.

Lying in bed at night, Ye Lu’s heart was filled with bitterness. What kind of life was this, with Third Young Master Jun restraining her and robbing her of her freedom?

But now she would rather lose her freedom, for she didn’t even know how to face Ling Yan and the others.

She didn’t even dare make a phone call to offer comfort.

Her heart was fraught with immense guilt and the weight of sin, worse than if she had killed Old Ling herself.

This realization made her understand her feelings for Third Young Master Jun even more; she had truly fallen for him again. That’s why she found it even harder to tolerate the man she loved committing such an act.

Ye Lu was in extreme emotional turmoil.

Drifting off to sleep hazily, she suddenly felt a sensation as if her feet had stepped into a void, her heart jolted, and she awoke to her foot cramping painfully.

She turned on the light.

A look of agony crossed her face as her foot cramped, and she tried to reach down to massage her calf to ease the pain.

However, with her belly so large, it was quite difficult to bend her leg so that her hand could reach.

But quickly, Third Young Master Jun burst in like a whirlwind, his eyes filled with tension as he rushed over to support her, full of concern.

"What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked.

Ye Lu stared at him in astonishment, her brow furrowing with the discomfort of the cramping foot.

Third Young Master Jun looked down and saw the muscles on her calf spasming and immediately understood.

He hurriedly propped a pillow behind her, helping her lean against it, then reached out to hold her footstep. His fingers grasped the cramping toes and slowly pulled them upward, then gently kneaded and massaged the spasming muscles with both hands.

Ye Lu felt the cramping subside and her expression eased a great deal.

However, she watched him with a complex gaze as he carefully massaged her, surprised that he knew how to do this.

Sensing her confusion, Third Young Master Jun said softly, "I’ve read books about pregnant women and learned that they often suffer from cramps at night. So, I picked up some massage techniques."

For such a proud man to learn massage techniques?

Ye Lu was filled with disbelief, feeling the gentle pressure of his massage between her feet as she stiffly turned her face away.

After about ten minutes of massage, her foot finally stopped cramping. Ye Lu drew back her leg and lay down in bed, turning her back to him once more, reverting to her silent, cold demeanor towards him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Third Young Master Jun adjusted her cover, making sure she was well covered.

She thought he would leave, but then the mattress beside her dipped as he lay down on the bed.
