Chapter 525: 525: Xinglan protects his wife, makes her crave his body! (One more update
Ms. Tan stepped forward and slapped her, “I’ve raised you in the Old Chen Family for so many years, and this is how you repay us? Heartless and ungrateful creature!”
That slap was fierce.
After the sting of the slap subsided, Chen Xiangtai had only one reaction, she turned around, “Mr. Lu,” her eyes red, pleading with him, “don’t co over.”
Don’t look at her.
She was too disheveled, too embarrassed.
Lu Xinglan acted as if he hadn’t heard, his face colder than the snowy weather, he walked quickly to her side and said, “Hit back.”
That statent made her want to cry, her eyes heated up, and the sounds around her ears seed blurred.
Ms. Tan was still shouting, “Who are you!”
Debao also arrived, adding fuel to the fire with his snide remarks from the sidelines, “Mom, it’s him, the car owner who asked us to pay.”
Dressed in a black fur coat and her hair curled neatly, Ms. Tan carried an intimidating presence, “Really in cahoots.” She scrutinized Lu Xinglan from head to toe, “Chen Xiangtai, you’ve grown capable, haven’t you?” Knowing to find a backer now.
Lu Xinglan didn’t even look at the mother and son, the anger in his eyes suppressed, his gaze resting on Chen Xiangtai’s slapped face, repeating, “Hit back.”
Chen Xiangtai looked back at him with red eyes.
“Even if the sky falls, I will support you, Chen Xiangtai, hit back for .”
It wasn’t her first ti being hit, but it was the first ti soone stood up for her, soone to say he’d support her even if the sky fell. Her hand trembled as she raised it shakily.
Debao grabbed her hand harshly, glaring at her, “Chen Xiangtai, you dare!”
Lu Xinglan pulled her back and stepped forward, kicking Debao in the stomach.
Caught off guard, Debao fell on his butt, his stomach burning with pain, grimacing.
“Debao!”
Ms. Tan cried out in shock, “Debao, how are you?”
Debao was curled up on the ground, groaning and clutching his stomach.
Ms. Tan, both anxious and angry, turned to Lu Xinglan and cursed, “I’m disciplining my daughter, what does it have to do with you, what right do you have to hit people!”
Lu Xinglan had rarely fought in his life, but having been trained by Lu Jingsong, a military man, he had practiced all that was necessary.
That kick was too hasty, he hadn’t used enough force.
He unbuttoned his coat, revealing a suit underneath, loosened his tie and stepped forward, damn it, he wanted to kick this scum to death.
Before he could kick again, his sleeve was grabbed, and turning around, he saw the young girl with teary eyes shaking her head.
“They’re bullying you.”
He removed her hand, his mind ablaze with the thought of setting fire, the urge to hit soone was unbearable, his eyes dark and overcast, just like the sky, about to unleash a blizzard.
She grabbed him again, “People are watching.” She was about to cry, “The police will arrest you.”
Passersby had stopped to watch the scene unfold.
Seeing this, Ms. Tan sat on the ground and began to wail, “He’s hitting people! He’s hitting people!” She cried bitterly, “Everyone, co and judge this, this young man kicked an old woman like .”
Chen Xiangtai knew Ms. Tan was unreasonable, but she didn’t know she could also be so obnoxious.
Sitting on the ground, crying and wailing, the villain playing the victim, “He’s using his wealth and power to bully us, mother and son. I was just afraid he’d deceive my daughter, I barely said anything and he hit , is there no justice or law anymore!”
Soone imdiately took out a phone to record.
In a fluster, Chen Xiangtai pushed Lu Xinglan back, took off her jacket, tiptoed to cover his face, and shouted at the crowd with the fiercest voice, “Don’t film! Don’t film him!”
She was like a cat, baring her teeth and claws for him.
The fire in Lu Xinglan’s heart was extinguished by her, leaving only a warm lump in his chest, he pulled her close, “Put on your coat, I’ll take you away.”
Chen Xiangtai was still holding that red cape, her tears welled up in panic, “They’re filming you.” Afraid that he would be wronged, afraid of harsh words from others, afraid of slander.
Her not-so-bright mind could not think of much, but it was all for Lu Xinglan.
“Let them take photos.”
Lu Xinglan took the clothes from her hands and helped her put them on. He held her hand, cold as ice.
Old Tan rushed over: “Mr. Lu.”
“Have the lawyer handle it.”
He left those words behind and walked away with Chen Xiangtai.
They did not go far; after crossing the intersection ahead, he was holding her hand, and she was looking down, crying silently, tears falling like they cost nothing.
Her tears completely softened Lu Xinglan’s heart.
Still holding her hand, he stood on the bustling sidewalk. “Does it hurt?” he asked as he brushed her hair aside to look at her face.
Chen Xiangtai shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt.”
Her eyes were raining tears, and his mood also dampened significantly, very uncomfortably.
He touched her face with the back of his hand, feeling its warmth: “Then stop crying.”
His voice was not gentle, not like he was coaxing soone.
“Mr. Lu.”
The young girl’s voice was choked.
Carefully, she asked him, “Can I hug you?” She seed afraid he would refuse, clutching his sleeve and pleading, “Just for ten seconds.”
So silly.
At tis like this, why couldn’t she just ask for more blatantly? His heart was softened by her, and if she asked for sothing else during this mont, anything else, he would probably have agreed.
Isn’t she tempting him? Is a hug really enough?
The ssy situation unsettled Lu Xinglan. He opened his arms, embraced her, and his voice softened involuntarily: “No more crying, okay?”
She was like a cat that had been wronged outside, snuggling pitifully in her owner’s arms: “They are going to trouble you.”
Even now, she was still thinking about him.
Lu Xinglan never invited trouble lightly. “It doesn’t matter; I am wealthy and powerful.”
“I’m sorry.”
Lu Xinglan never accepted apologies easily. “You didn’t do anything wrong; there’s no need to apologize.”
“Thank you.”
Lu Xinglan never easily softened: “Just treat to a al.”
All his ‘nevers’ had been broken ever since he t her.
It was over.
He knew, he was done for.
The young girl in his arms looked up, her eyes and nose red: “Ten seconds are up.” She let go, not taking a second more than she had asked for.
Lu Xinglan, who had just desired her company, thought: How she ruins the mood!
He pulled her back into his arms, holding her head: “Still want to cry?”
Her expression was still filled with grievance and touched: “Yes.” Her voice was nasal.
Lu Xinglan held her, bowed his head, and kissed her head ever so lightly: “I’ll hold you a bit longer.”
She sobbed: “Thank you.” She sniffled, “You really are a great guy.”
Lu Xinglan: “…”
To hell with being a great guy, he just wanted to hold her, purely wanting to satisfy the craving she had stirred in him.
