Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 905 - 902: Even Acting Needs to Look Convincing

Lu Jinyang suddenly turned his head and saw Xiao Qing standing at the door, looking at him with a pale face, unknown to him when she had appeared. He immediately hung up the phone and walked over, glancing at the broken glass on the floor. He tried to take her hand, but she refused.

"Qingqing~"

"Was what you said just now true?" Xiao Qing stared at him with bloodshot eyes, her face extremely pale.

Seeing this, Lu Jinyang was filled with remorse. He was the one who initially planned to hide it from her, but he was also the one who let it slip. It was meaningless to hide it any longer. Who knew she would bring him tea at that moment...

He sighed deeply, took her hand again, and led her towards the room.

As soon as they entered the room, Xiao Qing couldn’t help but ask again, "Lu Jinyang, did you just say not to let them come back and disturb my life, right? And the biological father you mentioned later, you meant me and Xiao Yiting, didn’t you?"

Lu Jinyang really wanted to say no, but he knew that if he did, Xiao Qing would definitely feel uneasy with him. While struggling with what to say, Xiao Qing asked again, "I’ll take your silence as confirmation."

"Qingqing~"

"Don’t hide it from me anymore, tell me the truth, maybe it’ll make me feel a bit better." she said.

She once thought she was an orphan, later found by family, and felt she was lucky. But later discovered that these weren’t true, her parents were someone else...

Xiao Qing thought her mental resilience was strong enough, but when these issues came all at once, she realized how overwhelmed she was, not even knowing how to react.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jinyang was also very upset. He hugged her and sat down, slowly speaking, "I didn’t want to tell you about this for fear you couldn’t handle it, and indeed..."

He sighed and briefly recounted the matter to Xiao Qing. Once she calmed down a bit, he said, "This isn’t your fault, and those at fault have received their due punishment. Just pretend you know nothing, okay? It’s fine this way."

Xiao Qing said nothing, letting him hold her in his arms.

After an unknown period, there was a knock on the door. Lu Jinyang let go of her and went to open it, finding Nanny Zhang at the door, nervously asking, "Mr. Lu, there’s a lot of broken glass at the study room’s entrance, are you and madam alright?"

"No problem, just a minor scratch, I’m bandaging her up." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Is the injury deep? Should I bring over the first aid kit?"

"No need, you go ahead with your work."

"Alright, alright."

Before leaving, Nanny Zhang glanced into the room, saw Xiao Qing sitting safely on the bed, and only then felt relieved, going back to cleaning.

Lu Jinyang returned to her side, reached out his hand, and said, "Let’s go downstairs, I’ll get you a band-aid." Even the act had to look convincing.

Xiao Qing said nothing, following him downstairs.

From that night onwards, Xiao Qing always felt less close when interacting with Xiao Yijian and Zhang Qianqi, and as for the reason, Zhang Qianqi couldn’t say.

She went to ask Lu Jinyang, but Lu Jinyang said Xiao Qing had been very busy with work lately and was possibly a bit tired.

Zhang Qianqi quickly said, "Then you have to tell her properly, she shouldn’t tire herself out so much."

After a few days, Xiao Yijian, Zhang Qianqi, Yang Qiao, and the children went back to the United States, and life seemed to revert to how it was at the beginning.
