"What do you mean?" Tong Qiao frowned slightly.
Lu Jinshen stared at Tong Qiao for a few seconds and said, "I'll take care of Yufei and Ziqian for the rest of my life …"
"Lu Jinshen …"
"Don't be angry. Let me finish." Lu Jinshen reached out to press Tong Qiao's slightly swollen lips. "I don't have any romantic feelings for Yufei. If you have to define our relationship, it's kinship."
"Who are you lying to?"
"If I wanted to lie to you, I could tell you that I'll cut off all contact with her in the future. It's because I don't want to lie to you that I'm telling you the truth."
"But I don't want to hear the truth."
Lu Jinshen changed his seriousness and asked with a smile, "If you don't want to hear the truth, what do you want to hear? Is it a lie or a sweet talker? "
Tong Qiao had asked Auntie Zhou in private why Lu Jinshen and Sheng Yufei divorced.
Auntie Zhou said that she didn't know the details, but one thing was certain. Neither of them had done anything wrong to the other, and when they divorced, they didn't have any conflicts. Auntie Zhou said that they probably wanted to part on good terms.
Since they didn't quarrel, and Sheng Yufei came to Lu Jinshen for help, Lu Jinshen would indeed help her. However, he told her that he would take care of Sheng Yufei for the rest of his life, which still made her feel uncomfortable.
Was it because he cared too much, or because he couldn't forget their old relationship?
But now Lu Jinshen said that he and Sheng Yufei were kinship. Perhaps she was being too calculative?
That was his past. She knew it from the beginning when she met him, and he never hid it. Wasn't she being too narrow-minded by not letting go of his past?
Since she had chosen to try to be with him, shouldn't she open her heart and accept everything about him, including his past?
Tong Qiao thought. She knew that Lu Jinshen was deliberately twisting her meaning, but she didn't expose him. "I want to hear sweet words. Can you say it?"
"I won't say it. I only know how to do it."
Tong Qiao thought that Lu Jinshen meant action. She was about to say that it sounded better than it sounded, but before she could say anything, she heard him say, "When you're out of confinement, I'll show you."
Tong Qiao was confused. "Can't we do it now? Why do we have to wait until I'm out? "
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao with a burning gaze. "It's not good for your health to do it during your confinement period."
Tong Qiao could feel the heat in Lu Jinshen's eyes. She blinked twice and came to her senses. She raised her hand and punched him twice on the arm. "Lu Jinshen, you're so shameless."
Lu Jinshen furrowed his brows and pretended to be in pain.
"What's wrong?" Tong Qiao asked.
"You hit my wound."
"Ah?" Tong Qiao looked nervous. She immediately started tugging at Lu Jinshen's clothes. "Why didn't you dodge? Let me see if you're bleeding. "
Lu Jinshen looked down at Tong Qiao. She couldn't wait to take off his clothes. "You want it so badly? You want to do it now? "
Tong Qiao suddenly stopped. She looked up and saw Lu Jinshen smiling. "You lied to me?"
Lu Jinshen smiled. "I didn't expect you to care so much about me."
Tong Qiao shouted, "Lu Jinshen!"
"Don't shout so loudly. I can hear you."
"Get lost." Tong Qiao pushed Lu Jinshen away and quickly walked out of the room.
Lu Jinshen tidied up Tong Qiao's clothes and put the suitcase back in its original position. He also left the room. He stood by the railing on the second floor and lit a cigarette. He watched as Tong Qiao sat cross-legged on the sofa and watched TV with a plate of fruit.
Tong Qiao sensed the stares from upstairs. She turned around and glanced at Lu Jinshen. With a look of disdain, she said, "Shameless."
Lu Jinshen put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled with the cigarette in his mouth.
He stood there and looked at Tong Qiao, but Tong Qiao didn't pay any attention to him.
Lu Jinshen only came downstairs after he finished his cigarette. He sat beside Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao moved to the side. "I smell smoke. Stay away from me."
Lu Jinshen leaned against the sofa and crossed his long legs casually. He tilted his head and looked at Tong Qiao. "Do you know why I smoked just now?"
Tong Qiao gave Lu Jinshen a look. "You're addicted to smoking."
"Smoking can stop the pain."
"Hey, don't try to lie to me. I didn't hit your wound just now."
"I was talking about my tongue …" Lu Jinshen paused for a moment and added, "You bit it."
Tong Qiao thought about their intense kiss just now. Her heart started to beat wildly, but she pretended as if nothing had happened. She even glared at Lu Jinshen. "You deserve it. How dare you force a kiss on me. I'll bite you to death!"
Lu Jinshen crossed his fingers behind his head and said casually, "It's worth it to die in your mouth."
Tong Qiao felt that Lu Jinshen's current ruffian look with a hint of military mannerism was actually very handsome. What the hell? She was almost bewitched by him.
Tong Qiao put down the fruit platter and got up. She gave Lu Jinshen a look of disdain. "Stay away from me."
Lu Jinshen picked up the apple that Tong Qiao had not finished eating and took a bite out of it.
Tong Qiao felt Lu Jinshen's gaze on her back as she walked towards the kitchen. She turned around and frowned. "Lu Jinshen, don't you know how to be hygienic? I've eaten that apple before. "
"I've eaten your saliva. Why can't I eat the apple that you've eaten before?"
Tong Qiao was speechless. Indeed, a cheap person was invincible.
Tong Qiao watched the housekeeper prepare dinner in the kitchen and chatted with her for a while. When she came out, she found Lu Jinshen sitting on the sofa and watching television. He rarely had so much free time. Even though he was recuperating at home during this period, he spent most of his time in the study.
He actually had time to watch television now?
Strange.
Tong Qiao walked over and realized that the television channel was still the same as before. "Are you that free?"
Lu Jinshen patted the seat beside him. "Come here."
Tong Qiao ignored him and sat down far away from him.
Lu Jinshen raised his eyebrows slightly. "I'm waiting for you."
Tong Qiao leaned over and grabbed a few pistachios to peel. "What's the matter?"
"Yeah." Lu Jinshen leaned over and grabbed a bunch of pistachios. After peeling a few, he said, "Ziqian is at Yufei's place. Do you want to bring him back for New Year's Eve dinner?"
Tong Qiao popped a peeled pistachio into her mouth. "Of course, we have to bring him back."
Lu Jinshen's thin lips curved slightly. This answer was expected. "Ziqian's grandmother passed away half a year ago. Yufei doesn't have any relatives by her side. Do you think you can …"
"No." Tong Qiao knew what Lu Jinshen wanted to say and interrupted him. "She's your ex-wife. What's the point of having New Year's Eve dinner with you? Or do you think that it's more dignified for you to have dinner with your ex-wife at the same table? "
Lu Jinshen smiled. "Did you spill the vinegar in the kitchen? Why is it so sour? "
"Lu Jinshen, I'm not jealous." Tong Qiao glanced sideways at Lu Jinshen.
"Yeah." Lu Jinshen nodded. The smile in his eyes was clearly tinged with pride. "I'll listen to you. If you say no, then no."
