Ye Zhen was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Listening in the corner, she put herself in danger.
Lu Beichuan hugged her waist.
Ye Zhen's whole body was stiff. She followed Lu Beichuan into the room like a marionette.
She had just come out of the bathroom.
Her hair was still wet, and her body was still steaming.
Her whole body was soaked in hot water.
Her fair skin, which was exposed outside her pajamas, was crimson red.
Lu Beichuan handed her the hairdryer.
Ye Zhen didn't take it.
"What? Do you want me to blow it for you? "Lu Beichuan smiled faintly.
Are you kidding?
Ye Zhen quickly took the hairdryer and sat in front of the dressing table to blow her hair.
Lu Beichuan glanced at her.
Then he went into the bathroom.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Ye Zhen looked at the closed bathroom door. Her heart was in a mess.
All of this seemed reasonable, but when she thought about it carefully, why did it feel so coincidental?
The second floor wasn't Lu Beichuan's room.
He appeared when she was eavesdropping on Ye Qing and Lin Zhan. Coincidentally, she was wearing the same pajamas as Ye Qing.
The twin sisters originally looked the same.
Under the dim light, it was hard to tell if the two of them wore the same pajamas.
But too many coincidences.
It might not be a coincidence.
Moreover, she still didn't know whether Lu Beichuan was a human or a ghost.
How could she go back to her room and sleep with him in such a daze?
Now Lu Beichuan went to take a shower.
It was a good opportunity.
Thinking about it,
Ye Zhen put down the hairdryer.
She let it continue to work on the table.
She tiptoed and walked out quietly.
When she passed by the bathroom, the frosted glass door reflected Lu Beichuan's tall figure. That figure was clearly in the bathroom, but it gave Ye Zhen the illusion that he was looking at her.
She recalled everything that had happened since she returned from the airport. It seemed that everything was firmly in Lu Beichuan's hands.
Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat. She felt guilty for some reason. She gritted her teeth, tiptoed, and quietly walked past the bathroom door without making a sound.
She held her breath and gently placed her hand on the doorknob. Slowly, slowly, she twisted the doorknob, trying her best not to let the doorknob creak and alarm Lu Beichuan.
The sound of the hairdryer on the dressing table and the sound of the shower. The sound was like a thunderclap in the ears of the guilty Ye Zhen. She slowly opened the door and saw Uncle Lu standing outside the door with a glass of milk in his hand, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Good evening, Miss Ye."
Caught off guard, Ye Zhen was shocked and couldn't say a word for a long time.
At the same time, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Lu Beichuan had probably heard the commotion here. Ye Zhen smiled awkwardly with a bitter face. "Good evening, Uncle Lu... Beichuan is still taking a shower. What's the matter?"
Uncle Lu smiled and said, "Young Master asked me to bring you some milk. It's still hot. Drink it while it's hot. It'll help you sleep."
As soon as she saw the glass of milk, Ye Zhen thought of the glass of milk that Uncle Lu had put in the 'medicine'.
However, she also understood that Uncle Lu had good intentions. He wouldn't use this matter to hurt the heart of a kind old man.
The bathroom door opened. Lu Beichuan's head was still dripping water. He only had a white bathrobe wrapped around his body. Half of his chest was exposed, and his pecs were clearly visible. He expressionlessly glanced at Ye Zhen, then took the glass of milk from Uncle Lu's hands.
"Sorry to trouble Uncle Lu. There's nothing else here. You should go and rest."
Uncle Lu smiled amiably and said, "Then I'll leave first. Good night, both of you."
"Good night."
The door closed.
Lu Beichuan carried the warm milk to the dressing table. After placing the glass of milk on the table, he picked up the hairdryer that Ye Zhen had left on the table and was still working.
"Come here," Lu Beichuan said indifferently as he glanced at the hesitant Ye Zhen by the door.
Ye Zhen felt extremely guilty at this moment. Lu Beichuan's expressionless face didn't reveal the slightest clue, which made her even more nervous. She reluctantly walked over. Lu Beichuan pushed her to sit in front of the dressing table and handed her a glass of milk.
This milk really had a shadow. If there really was medicine in it, if the child in her stomach really was Lu Beichuan's, then wouldn't that beast, Lu Beichuan, do whatever he wanted tonight?
Seeing Ye Zhen hesitate, Lu Beichuan said in a low voice, "What's wrong? Didn't you say that you have to drink milk every night to help you sleep? Why aren't you drinking it today?"
Ye Zhen naturally couldn't reveal any flaws. She forced a smile and slowly drank the warm milk.
It wasn't until the glass was empty that Lu Beichuan picked up the hairdryer and carefully blew Ye Zhen's half-dry hair.
His hand gently stroked her hair. It was extremely delicate and the temperature was just right. It wasn't too cold or too hot.
Ye Zhen's heart trembled. She was shocked.
Lu Beichuan was so cold during the day. Why did he seem like a different person at night?
Faced with Ye Zhen's surprised and nervous gaze, Lu Beichuan's expression didn't change. He continued to dry her hair.
Ye Zhen's hair was soft and jet-black. When he gently blew on it with his fingers, it slipped through his fingers. He almost lost his grip.
Just like this person in front of him. If he didn't keep an eye on her, she would think of all sorts of ways to leave.
After dealing with the Lu Family's matter, it would be better to announce his identity as soon as possible and cut off this woman's thoughts of leaving. Lu Beichuan's face darkened as he thought.
Her hair was almost completely dry. Ye Zhen gradually became sleepy. She yawned and tears were about to come out. Sure enough, she had been drugged by this bastard again.
She looked at Lu Beichuan's exposed, firm thighs in the mirror. Her heart raced as she thought of the dreams she had in the past. She couldn't help but give up on herself. What else could she do? She was like a turtle in a jar now. She couldn't run away or escape. If she wanted to sleep with him, so be it. Since she already had a child, she could just make do with it.
"Sleepy?"
Ye Zhen nodded.
Lu Beichuan turned off the hairdryer. "Go to sleep."
Ye Zhen staggered to her feet. She was so sleepy. She climbed onto the bed. The soft mattress was extremely comfortable. The familiar scent from the blankets hit her in the face. She snuggled comfortably on the bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she quickly fell asleep.
Lu Beichuan changed the bright light in the room to the weak and gentle night light at the head of the bed. He stood by the bed and looked at Ye Zhen for a moment. Then he went to the bathroom to dry his hair with a dry towel and got into bed.
He had been sharing a bed with someone for more than a month. During this time, he was the only one on the bed. He was really not used to it.
These days, he had been exhausted. Everything seemed to be flawless, but only he knew that if there was even the slightest flaw, Ye Zhen would very likely run away. This woman was so heartless. She left just like that. She didn't even leave him with the slightest bit of affection!
Now that there was someone by his side, his heart suddenly calmed down.
A year ago, Lu Beichuan had been in a car accident on the way to the airport. He had almost lost his life. Even though he had survived, he had been lying in a hospital bed for nearly a year.
Although he later woke up from his vegetative state, his legs were numb and he couldn't feel anything below his waist. In order not to alert the enemy, he closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious. He could feel the perfunctory care of the family's caregivers and servants. He remembered his grandfather's sigh, his mother's crying complaints, and his father's hypocrisy.
His grandfather sighed because he thought that the Lu Family had lost an outstanding heir. His mother's crying complaints were because she couldn't see a future without her son. His father's hypocrisy was to celebrate the success of his plan.
Ye Zhen was the only one who took good care of him. She knew that he was cold, that he was hot, and that he was uncomfortable lying down. She was extremely considerate and meticulous in taking care of him. She even learned massage techniques from the nurses for him.
Even William said that his quick recovery had a lot to do with Ye Zhen's meticulous care during that time.
During that month, Ye Zhen succeeded in dispelling much of the hostility in his heart.
He knew that every time Ye Zhen massaged him, she would be very tired. It stood to reason that she would sleep well at night after being overworked during the day, but Ye Zhen did not sleep so well at night. She was often awakened by nightmares and talked nonsense.
Milk was a good thing that could help her sleep.
He lay on his side facing Ye Zhen, his hand caressing Ye Zhen's flat belly. There was a small life that belonged to him and Ye Zhen.
Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, he would educate the child well and grow up to be a kind person like its mother. He would also be a good father. He would never let his own tragedy continue to happen to his child.
In the past, she had taken care of him and helped him deal with Lu Beifan. He owed her a favor, so he might as well use the rest of his life to repay it.
The phone on the bedside rang. Lu Beichuan got out of bed and walked to the window to answer the call.
"Mr. Lu, we've caught the culprit. What should we do next?"
A year ago, when he took control of the Lu Clan, he was in the limelight and everyone in the business world avoided him. All of this was planned simply because Lu Shaoren wanted to seize control of the Lu Family.
Lu Beichuan had always been a person who would repay every penny. Moreover, the father-son relationship between him and Lu Shaoren had long been extinguished in the struggle for power over the years. The father and son were separated by mountains and rivers, and each had their own ulterior motives.
To Lu Beichuan, fatherly love and familial love were no longer important. The first half of his life had passed, but in the second half of his life, he had found someone precious to him.
He remembered what Ye Zhen had told him before: "Don't do anything illegal or criminal. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have great power. No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape the punishment of the law!"
He leaned over to look at Ye Zhen, who was sleeping soundly. She was unconsciously turning over, her slender arm resting on the spot where Lu Beichuan was sleeping. Under the dim light, Ye Zhen's peaceful sleeping face was reflected.
Lu Beichuan's mouth couldn't help but curve into a gentle smile. Even his voice couldn't help but soften.
He said in a low voice, "Hand it over to the police. Everything will be handled according to procedure."
"Hand it over to the police?" The person on the phone couldn't help but be stunned.
If news of a father and son killing each other got out, they would probably become a laughingstock. Old Master Lu was a person who valued rules and face, so he definitely wouldn't want to blow up this matter. If they followed Old Master Lu's wishes, wouldn't the best thing to do be to hand over the witness evidence to Old Master Lu and let him deal with it in private? Wouldn't that make Old Master Lu feel guilty?
But Lu Beichuan's intentions were clear, so the person on the phone couldn't say anything. He only responded and hung up.
How could Lu Beichuan not understand what the person on the phone was thinking?
In the past, he was all alone and did things as he pleased, but things were different now.
He put down the phone, lay back on the bed, and gently stroked Ye Zhen's flat stomach.
Now that he had a wife and a child, he couldn't act as recklessly as before. What happened to him couldn't happen to Ye Zhen again.
Therefore, he had no choice but to plan carefully. Before everything was settled, he could not expose Ye Rou.
