Chapter 1232: Why Did You Abandon Him and the Child? (12)
After Xiao Bai drank the water, he made Su Qianxun tell him a story. Su Qianxun took over the book placed beside her.
She was not even Xiao Bai’s real mother so why was she the one taking care of Xiao Bai while Lu Yanzhi was playing with girls outside? The heavy load on her chest seemed as though she was crushed under a mountain. It then disappeared all of a sudden and that made her breathing become smooth.
“Mummy, you are holding the book upside down…”
Su Qianxun froze and lowered her head to look at the book in her hands. Ugh! It was really held upside down.
She bit her lips slowly. With a tone of voice that was as calm as the water, she then said, “Xiao Bai… How about you ask your daddy to narrate the story? I’ve just picked up a call about my work. I think I need to…”
Xiao Bai’s face immediately darkened. “Ah? Mummy, you are going to leave…”
Lu Yanzhi heard that sentence as he entered the room.
Su Qianxun glanced at Lu Yanzhi and flashed him a fake smile. “Master Lu, I’ve just received a call and have to go settle my work duties. I’ll leave first.”
Lu Yanzhi’s deep sea-like eyes looked at her in silence. He stayed that way with his thin lips pressed into a line.
Xiao Bai had a look of displeasure and cutely snorted. “Hmph!”
“Be good.”
Su Qianxun caressed Xiao Bai’s face to comfort him, to which Xiao Bai finally reluctantly agreed.
After she left the room, she did not spare Lu Yanzhi a glance. Lu Yanzhi turned around and followed her out. Behind her back, he said, “I’ll drive you there.”
“There’s no need. I dare not trouble Master Lu,” Su Qianxun said in a displeased tone. When the words left her mouth, even she was shocked.
She did not wait for Lu Yanzhi’s reply and quickened her footsteps, wanting to leave faster. But, when she reached the living room, she instinctively slowed down her footsteps again.
Shen Yiren was probably still downstairs and Su Qianxun didn’t want her to think that the reason for her early departure was because of them. However, when she got to the living room, no one was there.
Su Qianxun froze momentarily.
‘Where did Shen Yiren go? Did she leave already? That was fast…’
Su Qianxun’s elbow was pulled from the back and she had no chance to react before she was turned around and fell into a warm and sturdy embrace in the next second.
Su Qianxun lifted her eyes up and widened her eyes in shock. “Lu Yanzhi, what are you doing?”
“I should be the one asking you that. Why did you leave so hurriedly when you saw Shen Yiren?”
Lu Yanzhi stared at her with a sharp gaze. His deep and confusing clear eyes looked as though he could see through her.
Su Qianxun’s body stiffened. That complicated gaze of his seemed like it was assuming that she was jealous and that she cared for him. She felt a weird sense of embarrassment as though she was exposed.
‘That is weird?! Who is being jealous? Who cares about him!’
Su Qianxun’s embarrassment turned into agitation as she harshly waved Lu Yanzhi’s hand away. “Didn’t I say that I have something on and had to leave? What has this got to do with Shen Yiren?”
She turned around to leave but a strong arm held onto her waist to stop her while another hand held her shoulder and twisted her around. The next thing she knew, she was pressed against the wall.
His imposing body trapped her, sandwiching her against the wall.
Su Qianxun was furious. “What are you trying to do now?”
Lu Yanzhi lowered his gaze and locked his own eyes with her slightly red ones. His cold gaze was so intense that it looked as though he could take away one’s soul. His thin lips opened slightly to say, “Su Qianxun, are you jealous?”
Su Qianxun widened her eyes in shock, seeming as though she heard a shocking secret. She was in disbelief with what she heard.
Then, she curved her lips up and smiled. She thought that she heard wrong and could not help but asked, “What did you say?”
Jealous? What kind of an international joke was that?
