Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 267: Rumors

"Hmm, time to fight the tiger."

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t see it, but when the man heard her words, his eyes lit up, resembling a big bad wolf ready to devour a little white rabbit.

After the fever subsided, she wasn’t feeling very energetic, so after speaking to Lu Jinyang, she lay down again. But as her body tilted, she fell into a warm embrace.

Before she could react, the man was already carrying her towards the resting room.

"Lu Jinyang, it’s work hours now, what are you planning to do?"

"Sleep."

Zhuang Shuqing felt like crying without tears; his idea of ’sleeping’ was definitely not as simple as just sleeping.

Indeed, after placing her on the bed, his strong arms embraced her, pressing down on her, "We haven’t exercised in several days."

"..."

She didn’t know who overdid it last time to the point of getting a fever. Now that she had just recovered, he was already thinking about those matters again, such an asshole!

This time she couldn’t let him have his way, but how could she refuse him?

Zhuang Shuqing racked her brain but couldn’t come up with a practical solution.

The man on top of her suddenly chuckled, she looked up, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at you."

With that, he rolled off and lay beside her, pulling her into his arms, "If you’re tired, just sleep."

Zhuang Shuqing: "..." He’s letting her off like this?

She didn’t think too much about it, because when her head hit the pillow, drowsiness took over and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke again, there was no sign of the man next to her, the spot beside her had grown cold, she thought, he must have left quite a while ago.

After waking up, Zhuang Shuqing felt a lot more energized and her mind was much clearer.

Suddenly, she remembered that Secretary Ding had given her some documents to review. Because she was sick, she hadn’t submitted them to Secretary Ding yet. After considering, she went back to her office to fetch the documents and then headed to the second floor.

As she passed the second-floor pantry, Zhuang Shuqing heard Fangfang’s voice and involuntarily stopped.

Fangfang was speaking animatedly, completely unaware of the person standing outside.

"Fangfang, is what you’re saying really true? Lin Xiaoxiao and our Boss are close?" a colleague asked.

"It’s definitely true. I heard Xiaoxiao calling him ’brother’ very intimately, but Lin Xiaoxiao is an only child, so the Boss must be her childhood friend," Fangfang said expressively, as if it really was the case.

Zhuang Shuqing silently raised an eyebrow, childhood friends?

Just as she was about to leave, Fangfang spoke again, this time about her, Zhuang Shuqing.

"By the way, do you know why Zhuang Shuqing has been taking leaves these past few days?"

The colleague from earlier replied: "Not sure, do you know?"

"Of course! Look at that vixen, with a face that brings disasters. It’s possible that in Mr. Gu’s absence, she’s been devoting her attention to the Boss, haven’t you noticed that the Boss hasn’t been in the office these days either?"

"Fangfang, are you sure about that? I don’t think Shuqing is that kind of person, maybe there’s some misunderstanding."

"No mistake! Let me tell you secretly, these exclusive news items were told to me by Xiaoxiao. You say, with such a good relationship with the Boss, could there be any rumors she wouldn’t know about?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Shuqing’s beautiful eyes shifted, she quietly stepped back a few paces, then, with deliberate heavy footsteps, headed again towards the pantry. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Before she reached the door, she saw Fangfang and the colleague coming her way, and she remembered, that the colleague defending her was named Huang Miaomiao.
