Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 991 - 988: Aren’t You Going to Explain What Happened That Night?

Such a treacherous old fox!

Lu Jincheng sighed in resignation, looking at Leng Shuangshuang, "And the feet."

Initially, Leng Shuangshuang didn’t understand why, with his hands already untied, he still needed her help. When she saw how his feet were tied, she found it both amusing and frustrating.

She crouched under the table opposite him, fiddled around, and found the rope wrapped around once, with the final knot tied under his chair.

Leng Shuangshuang stood up, "It can’t be untied from this side, you’ll have to start from your side."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jincheng looked at the distance between his feet and the table, feeling another wave of headache.

The space was very small; if she were to untie him, she would have to crouch right in front of him, and they’d inevitably be very close.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Jincheng gave up the idea and said to her, "Go find a knife and cut the rope."

Leng Shuangshuang glanced at the distance between him and the table, said nothing, and turned to leave the study.

Not long after, she returned with a pair of scissors in hand.

Without asking him, she directly cut the two ropes tied to the table leg and then placed the scissors on the table in front of him, "I’m going home, you cut it yourself."

With that, she turned and walked out.

Lu Jincheng’s gaze deepened, and he suddenly called to her in a deep voice, "Leng Shuangshuang."

The sudden voice caused Leng Shuangshuang to stumble, nearly falling to the ground. Barely steadying herself, she heard him say: "Aren’t you planning to explain what happened that night?"

She thought Lu Jincheng was calling her for help, but didn’t expect him to suddenly bring up that night’s matter. Leng Shuangshuang pressed her thin lips together tightly, not knowing how to respond.

She truly had no recollection of that night.

It took quite some time before she remembered his smell on him, and... the tear-inducing pain. She really couldn’t remember anything else.

What did he want her to say?

To tell him she was drunk that night, and a colleague sent her to the wrong room?

Or to tell him she didn’t mind giving him her first time?

Leng Shuangshuang took a deep breath and turned back: "I’ll let that night rot in my stomach, and I won’t cling to you because of this."

Her voice was as cold as ever, yet in Lu Jincheng’s ears, it cut painfully, like a knife slicing into his heart.

When he called her, he didn’t really have anything to say, yet inexplicably said those words. He already knew her answer, didn’t he?

After that night, Leng Shuangshuang seemed like a different person to him, no longer calling or messaging him, and even deliberately avoiding him at the company.

Thinking of this, Lu Jincheng was ultimately defeated by her, "You can go." he said.

Leng Shuangshuang didn’t pause, and immediately left the study, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

-

The next day, news of Lu Jincheng having a hidden illness spread quickly, dominating headlines across major newspapers, with even Mo Entertainment Studio coming to inquire.

It was only this morning that Lu Jincheng learned of this matter, and it was his assistant who told him.

Upon hearing that this untrue news came from his own father, Lu Jincheng nearly ground his teeth to dust.

At this moment, Lu Jinyang and Xiao Qing were having breakfast, planning to take Lu Xinyun out for a tour today, thus waking up later than usual.
