BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 - 51: Who is the Mistress
Lu Lingche stared into her eyes, seeing her gaze clear and unwavering, he knew she was not lying.
But his cheek hurt terribly, a continuous and intense pain, as if thousands of fine needles were piercing his face, making it difficult to breathe.
He asked somewhat reluctantly, “Do you have any anesthetic?”
“No, just bear with it for half an hour, it’ll be fine after the massage.”
Lu Lingche’s face revealed a conflicted expression, as if he was weighing whether to endure this inhuman torture for half an hour or brazenly attend the shareholders’ meeting with his bruised face.
Seeing his struggle, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but giggle, “Lu Lingche, are you scared of pain? How old are you? Isn’t this embarrassing?”
Lu Lingche glared at her, “Why don’t you try to feel how painful it is yourself, it’s as if I’ve just gone through hell.”
“Is it really that painful?”
Qiao Yin was thrilled, praising her brother for his effective punches; she should have let him hit Lu Lingche a few more times, and certainly shouldn’t have stopped him earlier!
“So are you going to continue this or what? It’s getting late, I’m starving, I need to go home and eat.”
“Or, you could go cook, and I could eat too.”
Qiao Yin widened her eyes in disbelief, “Lu Lingche, are you even human? I’ve acted as both your errand and massage therapist, and now you want me to be your cook?”
Lu Lingche looked at her as if it made perfect sense, “Otherwise? Would you want an injured man to cook?”
“Then order takeout!” She wanted to eat something too.
“I never eat takeout.”
“Then bring a chef home!” She still wanted to eat something.
“I don’t like having strangers at home, haven’t I told you that before?”
This won’t do, that won’t do, how fussy!
Scrounging a meal from him was hard!
Out of frustration, Qiao Yin held his head with one hand while pressing his face with the other, “Then don’t eat, let’s just carry on with the massage, I want to leave as soon as we’re done!”
Even if she starved to death, she wouldn’t cook for Lu Lingche ever again!
Lu Lingche cried out in pain as she pressed him harder, pinching her waist hard, “Are you trying to kill me with this intense massage?”
Feeling the pain in her waist, Qiao Yin was sure he was retaliating, so she pressed harder, “Yes, I am, so what?”
“Do you know how much you’d have to pay if you kill me?!”
“I don’t have money, but I do have my life. So why should I, a barefooter, fear you, a man in shoes?”
“I warn you, if you kill me, not just you will be dead, but your brother as well!”
“Dare to touch my brother, and I’ll disfigure you! You can forget about attending the meeting tomorrow!”
While they were arguing, the living room door suddenly swung open.
Both of them turned to look simultaneously, only to see Lan Yuyi standing there with a medical box, looking dazed.
Her face was ashen, “What… are you doing?”
It was then that Qiao Yin realized at some point she had straddled Lu Lingche’s leg, their bodies pressed against each other in a very intimate way, her holding his head and him clutching her waist, anyone would’ve mistaken them for an excessively close couple!
Qiao Yin quickly let go of Lu Lingche, also slapping away his hand from her waist and stood up, moving to one side.
It was only after she stood up that she realized something wasn’t right.
Wait, why did it feel like she was the mistress caught in the act?
She was Lu Lingche’s wife, what right did Lan Yuyi have to interrogate her?
Qiao Yin patted her forehead in frustration, then stood straight, looking at Lan Yuyi with her chin lifted, “What we were doing, didn’t Miss Lan see for yourself? Is there a problem?”
Lu Lingche didn’t react as dramatically as she did, he just furrowed his brows slightly, “Yuyi, why are you here?”
Lan Yuyi ignored Qiao Yin, she sauntered over to him with a gentle smile on her face, “Lingche, I came to apply medicine for you, didn’t expect Miss Qiao to get here first.”
Lu Lingche was a lot gentler with her than he was with Qiao Yin, even extremely attentive, “This is a small matter, you shouldn’t have come in person. Also, you shouldn’t touch these medications, they’re not good for your health..”
