Chapter 145 Who is it? Why are they looking for Lu Chenzhou so late?
"I'm not used to it."
Lu Chenyuan interrupted her, his tone firm, looking at her intently.
His gaze went straight into her eyes without flinching, filled with sincerity and unwavering devotion.
"I've felt uncomfortable ever since I decided to be with you."
"I'm not used to you carrying everything alone. I feel sorry for your past. I'm not used to you living alone. I'm afraid you might encounter danger. The thought of you living alone in a neighborhood like this makes me very uneasy."
The security in the neighborhood is indeed not very good.
It's not exactly a high-end neighborhood.
These words, devoid of any flowery language, only simple and clumsy, precisely struck the softest spot in Su Wan's heart.
Having lived alone for many years, she had long been accustomed to bearing all the hardships on her own.
No one has ever expressed their concern and heartache for her so openly.
She stared at him blankly, the warm yellow light in the room falling on his face, outlining his cold yet gentle features.
His eyes, devoid of the desire and dominance they had displayed, were now filled with tenderness, heartache, and pity, like a pool of warm water, gentle and lingering, brimming with love that could not be hidden.
That was a gaze unique to her, a look he had never given to anyone else.
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, and a wave of bitterness and panic washed over her.
She dared not look him in the eye again, afraid that she would become lost in this tenderness.
She simply turned around abruptly and pushed him out of the bathroom.
She turned and closed the door, shutting him out.
In the bathroom, the warm water splashed on my body, dispelling some of my fear.
Su Wan leaned against the cold tiles, panting heavily.
She saw herself in the mirror.
The dense hickeys on her neck, collarbone, and shoulders are still clearly visible, both ambiguous and glaring.
The chaotic scene at Lu Chenyuan's house just now uncontrollably flooded into his mind.
His hot breath, his wild kisses, his firm chest, his suppressed growls, and his own uncontrollable descent into depravity...
Every image was crystal clear, causing a subtle ripple to spread across her body.
Her cheeks flushed red quickly.
What's wrong with her?
Just now I was terrified and wanted to run away.
But those images are now flashing through my mind.
My body had an unusual reaction.
My body inexplicably felt hot, and a strange itch arose in my lower abdomen.
It spread along the limbs and throughout the body.
The thought of Lu Chenyuan standing outside the door, waiting for her, was unbearable.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her fingertips curled involuntarily.
The itch grew stronger and stronger, like a fire burning in my heart.
She recalled the thrill and pleasure brought by Lu Chenyuan's touch and kisses.
A surge of energy welled up within her body—many words omitted here—
That was just now in his—[many words omitted here]—
She clenched her teeth, her lips turning white from biting them, and couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
In her panic, she reached out to herself, trying to suppress the unbearable itch.
Outside the bathroom door, Lu Chenyuan leaned against the door and heard everything clearly.
The soft, restrained, and shy murmurs drifted through the door, like a feather gently brushing against his heart.
His eyes darkened instantly, and a fiercer, more intense light suddenly burst forth from them.
Desire surged forth again like a tidal wave...
He suddenly understood.
Her resistance was genuine.
But her reaction was genuine.
She was just afraid, not that she disliked it.
Why are you afraid?
He looked down and glanced at himself.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down involuntarily.
Was she afraid he would hurt her?
Or is it what psychologists call first sexual intercourse phobia?
The heartache in my heart was even greater.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, walked to the balcony, gently opened a crack in the window, and lit one.
Amidst the swirling smoke, he gazed into the deep darkness of the night.
He held a cigarette between his fingers and took one puff after another.
After smoking half a pack, the surging desire finally subsided slightly.
Su Wan, who was in the bathroom, had already finished showering.
She wrapped herself in a bath towel and pushed open the bathroom door to come out.
Her hair was wet and clung to her cheeks, which were still flushed an unnaturally.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Chenyuan. Instead of chasing him away as before, she quickly ran past him, rushed into the bedroom, closed the door behind her, and locked it from the inside.
She pressed herself tightly against the cold door, her heart pounding wildly.
She really went crazy in the bathroom just now.
With Lu Chenyuan's image filling her mind, she lost control and vented her emotions, even whispering his name in the end.
Lu...sinking...abyss.
That soft call was an unconscious outburst from her extreme unbearable pain.
She's really crazy.
That's why she was completely flustered at that moment and no longer had the courage to send him away.
He could only hide in his bedroom to escape reality.
Lu Chenyuan, who was outside the door, saw her actions but did not chase after her.
Anyway, it's almost dawn.
The east was beginning to lighten with a pale, fish-belly-like dawn.
The night is about to fade.
The best thing that happened was that she stopped trying to drive him away.
He waited until the smoke dissipated, closed the window, and turned to go to the living room.
His tall frame sank into Su Wan's rather cramped sofa, stretching out completely.
He took out his phone, swiped his finger across the screen, and dialed Lu Chenzhou's number.
He had something to say to his older brother about his job transfer.
"Hello!"
The moment the call connected, a sweet female voice came through the receiver.
Enveloped in the languor of late night, carrying a hint of lingering softness and charm.
Her throat was as sweet as if it had been soaked in honey, with a hint of the lingering softness after a passionate encounter.
The last syllable trembled slightly, stirring a deep unease in the heart.
"Who is it? What do you want with Lu Chenzhou so late at night?"
Lu Chenyuan's hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly, his knuckles turning white.
My heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, and it instantly plummeted to the deepest part of my chest.
He stared at Lu Chenzhou's exclusive number on the screen, not missing a single word.
My fingertips kept getting stiff.
My first thought was that I dialed the wrong number.
But his fingertips unconsciously moved away from the phone again, his gaze sweeping over the numbers on the screen.
That's right.
My thoughts were fixed on the soft, gentle question coming from the receiver.
...Why are you looking for Lu Chenzhou so late...?
It wasn't the voice of my sister-in-law, Shu Yue.
Lu Chenyuan's mind went blank, and it felt as if countless strings in his ears snapped at the same time.
How could that be?
Could it be... that they are on a mission?
Even so, he would not give his phone to anyone else.
He knew his older brother.
What kind of woman can get his phone in the middle of the night?
He sat on the sofa, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat, his fingertips trembling with coldness.
He knows Lu Chenzhou too well.
The older brother he knew was shrewd and cautious; he would never hand over his phone to anyone for safekeeping.
He would never... let a girl speak to him in such a soft, coquettish tone in the middle of the night.
He was the pillar of strength in the eyes of everyone in the Lu family.
As the commander of the Eastern Theater Command, he was responsible for the combat readiness of the Eastern Theater Command. He was selfless and devoted to his duties, standing on the training ground, command room and other places for more than ten years without ever showing any affection for his family.
unless……
A ridiculous conjecture suddenly arose in his mind.
It felt like ice water was being poured over his head, chilling him to the bone.
"Say something!"
As he stood there in a daze, the girl's voice rang out again, carrying a hint of playful coquettishness.
She looked to be no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale's.
If you don't say anything, I'm hanging up!
Lu Chenyuan subconsciously gripped his phone tightly, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he even forgot to breathe.
He wanted to speak, to suggest that Lu Chenzhou take the call.
But his throat felt like it was blocked by cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.
My brother cheated on me!!!
