Ye Zhen had always been on guard against Lu Beichuan's subconscious behavior.
For example, Lu Beichuan said, "I really want to kill him."
Sometimes, the difference between wanting to do something and doing it was just a thought. The key was whether or not one had self-restraint.
Ye Zhen stared at him without blinking.
Fortunately, Lu Beichuan was just thinking about it.
It was already 10 pm when they got home. The villa fell into silence.
Auntie Sue was still awake and waiting in the living room. When she saw them come back, she quickly went up to them and asked if they needed supper.
Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen didn't eat much because of how tense they were today. Now that they relaxed, they were a little hungry, so they asked Auntie Sue to make something.
Lu Beichuan didn't tell his family about what happened today. Firstly, he didn't want his Mother Lu to worry. Secondly, he was worried that it would be bad for Ye Zhen if the news leaked.
"Are Mom and Zhouzhou asleep?" Lu Beichuan asked in a low voice when the supper was served. He looked in the direction of the stairs.
"They're asleep." Auntie Sue smiled as she scooped a bowl of soup for Ye Zhen. "It's just that Zhouzhou keeps crying today and won't eat. But don't worry, Sir. It's always like this when breastfeeding. He'll be fine in a couple of days."
Lu Beichuan nodded and didn't say anything.
"Ah! What's with Madam's neck? Why is it bruised? "
Auntie Sue was referring to the small bruise on the right side of Ye Zhen's neck near her shoulder. Perhaps it wasn't obvious during the examination, and she didn't notice it when she was wearing the jacket. Now that the jacket was off, it looked extremely hideous under the bright light.
Ye Zhen smiled casually. "It's nothing. I accidentally bumped into it. Auntie Sue, get me some ointment. I'll be fine after applying it."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll go right away." Auntie Sue answered as she went upstairs.
Lu Beichuan glanced at the horrifying bruise and his eyelids sank. "What happened?"
"Maybe it was strangled when Ye Zhenting was holding her hostage."
When Lu Beichuan entered the room, he only saw Ye Zhenting approaching Ye Zhen with a knife. He didn't see Ye Zhenting holding Ye Zhen in front of his chest.
"Strangled?" Lu Beichuan's dangerous aura intensified. "How did you strangle him?"
Ye Zhen carefully blew on the hot soup. She didn't want to describe the scene too horrifying, so she only said briefly, "I grabbed and strangled him. He's really fine."
Lu Beichuan saw that she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask. After supper, the two of them went upstairs. When Ye Zhen came out of the bathroom, Lu Beichuan was standing in front of the window and making a phone call.
The curtains were pulled open. Outside the window, there was an endless thick darkness. This was a villa area. The land was vast but sparsely populated. There weren't many buildings and lights. The entire night was tightly shut, and there wasn't a trace of light.
Ye Zhen sat on the bed, drying her hair with a towel. Occasionally, she would listen to him say a few words. She could roughly guess that Lu Beichuan was negotiating with the loan sharks.
After waiting quietly for a while, Lu Beichuan hung up the phone.
Ye Zhen asked, "How is it?"
"The evidence is conclusive. Ye Zhenting can't escape."
Ye Zhen didn't have much feelings for Ye Zhenting. Today's kidnapping and extortion made her feel that this person was disgusting and abominable.
Lu Beichuan picked up the ointment Auntie Sue had brought from the table. He sat in front of Ye Zhen and looked at the small bruise on her neck and the wound on the other side. He frowned.
Ye Zhen knew that he was going to apply ointment for her, so she quickly snatched the ointment from his hand.
"I'll do it myself."
She got up and wanted to go to the bathroom to wipe herself, but Lu Beichuan pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed. He pressed her down without any explanation. "I'll do it!"
He poured a little on his palm, rubbed it until it was warm, and pressed it against the bruise.
This was actually a very ambiguous action. Lu Beichuan's broad palm was pressed tightly against her neck. The tendons and veins on her neck throbbed in Lu Beichuan's palm. It was a very subtle and almost imperceptible throbbing, but Lu Beichuan still caught it.
He could even feel Ye Zhen's nervousness and swallowing.
