Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 953 - 950: Eat Less Rice

Nangong Xuan was filled with hatred, but ironically, he had nowhere else to go but to her place because his second uncle’s men were surely waiting outside, and leaving would mean danger for him.

He sighed resignedly, bit into the gauze again, and closed his eyes.

For some reason, whether it was his calmness that somehow eased Lu Xinyun’s heart, she watched him for a while, then put down her bag and started to move...

Moments later, Nangong Xuan heard Lu Xinyun’s voice, as if she had made some important decision, "I’m going to start now, you need to hold on and not speak; otherwise, I might hurt you." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Nangong Xuan, with his eyes tightly shut, couldn’t help but hear such a sentence and wanted to laugh. Bullet extraction without anesthesia, painless?

He really didn’t believe it.

The next second, the intense pain from his abdomen made him involuntarily shiver. To avoid affecting the woman, he bit the gauze with all his might, and his forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat from the pain.

Time slowly passed, and just as Nangong Xuan thought he would faint from the pain, he heard the woman’s relieved voice: "Okay, finally got it out."

Upon hearing this, he completely passed out.

...

When he woke up again, Nangong Xuan felt a faint pain coming from his abdomen. Although it was impossible to ignore, it wasn’t painful to the point where he couldn’t move.

He raised his hand and realized that he was covered with a blanket, and his clothes were nowhere to be found.

He sat up slowly, noticing that his body was dry, looked down at his abdomen where the gauze was wrapped neatly with no sign of bloodstain nearby.

After looking for a while, Nangong Xuan heard footsteps coming from the bathroom. He looked up and saw Lu Xinyun walking out with some dishes.

Seeing he was awake, she spoke thankfully, "You’re finally awake. Great, get up and have something to eat."

Nangong Xuan placidly watched her walk out of the kitchen and then back in, repeating this a few times before finally handing him a pair of chopsticks and a bowl.

He took them but his gaze remained on her.

Lu Xinyun finally realized something was off. She looked at him, her eyes lingering on his abdomen, "What’s wrong? Does it still hurt so bad that you have no appetite?"

Nangong Xuan withdrew his gaze, shook his head, picked up some vegetables, and put them in his mouth. The taste of the light yet flavorful greens spread in his mouth, and he suddenly felt his heartbeat slow slightly.

Seeing Nangong Xuan start to eat, Lu Xinyun didn’t hold back either.

It was already past ten, and she had been starving. If not for taking care of Nangong Xuan, she would have gone to sleep by now.

After finishing one bowl of rice, Lu Xinyun wanted to get a second serving when a hand faster than hers took away the pot. She looked at him with alarm, "What are you doing?"

"Eat less rice; you won’t starve." Moreover, you might lose weight.

Since getting to know Lu Xinyun, Nangong Xuan for the first time had the idea for Lu Xinyun to lose weight. Not for any particular reason, he just wanted to see if she would become the stunning figure he imagined after slimming down.

"You!" Lu Xinyun was so angry she almost smashed the bowl. She had been running around for him since she came home, and he hadn’t even said a word of thanks, yet now he’s stopping her from eating?!

Her face suddenly turned dark, "Nangong Xuan, you’re taking this too far."

However, Nangong Xuan casually emptied all the rice from the pot into his bowl, then placed the empty pot back in front of her.
