<h4>Chapter 34</h4>
Lu Yanming raised his hand and soothingly massaged her fair and delicate nape, his tentative gentle kisses on her lips gradually deepening.
Li Zhen pushed him away, her red lips slightly swollen, her breathpletely disordered, "Chairman Lu, we''re in broad daylight..."
"If you want me, then have me. Why can''t I kiss you when I want to?" Lu Yanming interrupted her words. His fingers moved from massaging her nape to tangling in her hair. "Aren''t you being a bit too overbearing with these cooperation rules of yours?"
Li Zhen was rendered speechless by him for a couple seconds before she reacted, "But I''m at home, and this is..."
She didn''t even dare say it - this was right outside the cafe entrance!
"Then let''s go home now?" Lu Yanming withdrew his hand.
Why did it feel like a wolf impatiently herding amb into its den?
Li Zhen held her phone like a well-behaved student being punished to stand, at aplete loss for what to do. "But, my hand is still injured..."
She wanted to get pregnant soon too. But with the way he was always vigorous and passionate, wouldn''t her hands be ruined!
"I know." Lu Yanming''s voice carried a hint ofughter. "It''s not like I''m you, not that hungry."
Li Zhen''s face instantly turned red. Her image in Lu Yanming''s eyes waspletely ruined.
She wasn''t hungry! She just wanted to have a child!
Lu Yanming gently kissed her slightly swollen lips, his somewhat rough thumb wiping away the glistening moisture at the corner of her lips. "It''s only 6:30, still early. Want to go shopping at the supermarket?"
Wasn''t this change of topic too abrupt?
Li Zhen looked up at him, gazing at him with eyes that had been kissed wet, "Go to the supermarket?"
Lu Yanming couldn''t stand the way she looked at him like this, too much like she was seeking a kiss.
He calmly averted his eyes, unlocking the car. His voice was slightly hoarse, "The faucet at home is a little loose, I''m going to buy a tool kit."
"Chairman Lu, I didn''t know you could fix little things like this." Li Zhen got in the car.
"Since you don''t know how, of course I have to know."
"Alright..."
-
Yu Sheng parked the car steadily. From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a familiar Maybach passing by the car.
He didn''t think much of it and got out of the car, going straight into the restaurant. With a sweep of his eyes, he walked towards Zhang Xiya and the others.
Meng Yuanjie''s back stiffened. "President Yu, Li Zhen had somethinge up and left first."
Yu Sheng''s movements paused, his expression unchanged.
He took out a medicinal cream. "This works very well for wound recovery. Help me give it to her, don''t say it''s from me, thanks."
He ced the cream in front of Meng Yuanjie and turned to leave.
Zhang Xiya was already stunned speechless. "President Yu is so good to little Zhen Zhen, he''s not avoiding us at all!"
Qiao Yi murmured, "Ever since that day at the hospital, President Yu hasn''t tried to hide anything from us."
After leaving the restaurant, Yu Sheng received a message on his phone.
Li Yinnan: [I heard Zhen''er is injured? We''reing over tonight to see her.]
Li Zhen had already angrily moved out, not to mention her injury wasn''t serious. Yu Sheng instinctively wanted to reject Li Yinnan.
But in an instant, he changed his mind: [Alright, Dad.]
After replying to Li Yinnan, he sent Li Zhen a message and gave instructions to the housekeeper at home to prepare. Having done all this, Yu Sheng finally got in the car and drove towards Jinyu Gardens.
At the supermarket, Lu Yanming picked out a tool kit and ced it in the shopping cart.
With Lu Yanming''s height and long legs, the shopping cart that seemed clumsy in other people''s hands rolled along just right for him.
As the two strolled along, Li Zhen nced at him from the side and couldn''t help butugh softly. "Chairman Lu, you wearing a suit and tie shopping at the supermarket really doesn''t match."
"Should I wear slippers like them to match then?" Lu Yanming leisurely looked towards an elderly couple nearby.
"That''s not what I meant, Chairman Lu." Li Zhen gave a perfunctory reply. She tried to reach for a shower gel on the shelf, but was too short to reach even on her tiptoes.
She raised her hand up. Her shirt was pulled taut, the supple curve of her back like a butterfly spreading its wings. The tight waistline of her wrap skirt cinched her slender waist even more, vaguely exuding a precarious fragility.
Lu Yanming''s breathing deepened slightly. He walked over and stood right behind her, reaching up to grab the shower gel for her.
His sturdy body was pressed tightly against her slender back, with only a thinyer of fabric separating them. Both of them could easily sense the temperature and feel of each other''s skin.
In that moment, he felt her freeze almost imperceptibly.
Li Zhen was scorched by the heat behind her.
She thought about a few days ago, when Lu Yanming had also pinned her against the wall in this position...
Lu Yanming took a step back, pulling away. He ced the shower gel in her hand. "Is this the one?"
Li Zhen turned around, the tips of her ears tinged red. She nodded, "Yes."
Lu Yanming lowered his head to look at her. "Why are your ears red again?"
She ced the shower gel in the cart, pretending to be calm and unconcerned. "It''s a little hot."
"I thought it was because I made you ufortable just now." Lu Yanming pushed the cart, following behind Li Zhen who had quickened her pace. "But then I figured, that can''t be right. You seem to quite like this position at home."
Li Zhen was so shocked she turned to look at him, hurriedly covering his lips. She lowered her voice, "Chairman Lu! Keep it down!"
Lu Yanming grasped her wrist and pulled it away, holding her hand in his palm. "You''re always blushing over nothing, imagining weird things in your head."
Li Zhen retracted her hand, her ear tips even redder. "I''m not imagining anything... Chairman Lu, it takes one to know one."
"Alright." Lu Yanmingughingly nodded.
His easygoing concession was full of indulgence, as if he was generously no longer quibbling with a child.
Li Zhen was defeated by his meaningfulugh. Feeling somewhat angry, it was clearly him who was either kissing her at every turn or standing very close to her. How could anyone not easily blush?
Li Zhen''s phone received a new message. She opened it to see it was from Yu Sheng.
Seeing the message, Li Zhen''s movements stalled.
When she lived with Yu Sheng before, she had never let Li Yinnan and the otherse to Jinyu Gardens. Now that she was sick, Li Yinnan was eager to find an excuse toe over, and Yu Sheng had probably already agreed. If she refused now, Li Yinnan would be suspicious. She had to go back.
Lu Yanming was looking at the things on the shelves.
Li Zhen moved a little closer. "Chairman Lu, something came up, I have to go first."
Lu Yanming retracted his gaze from the shelves and lifted his eyelids to look at her inly, but didn''t say anything.
He seemed a little upset.
She suddenly felt that Lu Yanming was quite clingy.
Like a 24 hour attention-needing, high spec golden retriever: good at taking care of the household, highly capable, intelligent, and even tempered, just too clingy.
She was only a tool wife to deal with his family, yet he was already so clingy.
In the future, wouldn''t his actual wife be his inseparable essory?
"Chairman Lu." Li Zhen decided to humor him. "I have something urgent, I''lle back as soon as I can."
She assumed Lu Yanming would ask for details, but unexpectedly he just nodded. "Alright, I''ll take you there."
-
Li Zhen didn''t let Lu Yanming take her.
She took a taxi to Jinyu Gardens.
Seeing her get out of the taxi, the security guard at the entrance immediately came over to greet her. "Mrs. Yu, you''re back from your business trip?"
Jinyu Gardens was a famous luxury vi district in the south of Jincheng City, with eachkeside vi an independent building worth nearly 30 million yuan.
Here, every security guard knew all the homeowners.
This security guard hadn''t seen Li Zhen for several days and assumed she had been away on a business trip.
Li Zhen opened her mouth, about to exin she was no longer Mrs. Yu, but then considered that Li Yinnan might stille over in the future without knowing about the divorce. It was better to say little about her getting divorced before getting pregnant.
In the end, Li Zhen just nodded at the security guard and headed inside.
She only found out about the existence of this vi on her actual wedding day.
That night after work, Yu Sheng had brought her here and given her the property deed to the vi along with a few of his bank cards.
She had been very surprised that he could afford such an expensive vi.
At the time, Yu Sheng simply said, "As long as you like it, that''s good. There''s quite a bit of money in the cards, feel free to use it."
Li Zhen knew many men would give their wives a supplementary card with spending limits. She hadn''t expected Yu Sheng to hand over all his assets to her.
Li Zhen had never used Yu Sheng''s cards before, and even now, she didn''t know how much money was actually in Yu Sheng''s cards.
Li Zhen had pursued Yu Sheng for two years in college, and they had only gotten together in their third year. After working together at HongHai Corporation for two years after graduating, they finally got married.
Only on that night did Li Zhen realize how little she actually knew about the man she had dated for years. She had originally wanted to ask more questions, but after Yu Sheng gave her the cards, he had been called back by the sales director at the time to work overtime.
It wasn''t until a few days after getting married when Li Yinnan forced her to bring Yu Sheng back to the Li family that Li Zhen understood Yu Sheng''s identity and how he could afford this vi.
The wrought iron gates in front of the vi slowly opened.
Wu Ma came out to greet her. "Mistress, you''re back."
Hearing "Mistress" made Li Zhen pause in surprise.
Yu Sheng hadn''t told Wu Ma about the divorce?
