Chapter 71: Can You Wait for Me
The whole person was enveloped by his familiar scent, and she could hear his breathing clearly.
Not sure whose heartbeat was pounding, Ji Niandong closed her eyes and bit her lip, trying to wriggle out of his embrace, but he had already released her and placed the washed vegetables in the colander beside them.
It seemed as if the intimate touch just now was merely a trivial matter.
Indeed, it was just washing some vegetables together, she was overthinking it!
"What’s wrong?"
Her face flushed with embarrassment, Lu Beichen asked seemingly casually, with a hint of worry in his eyes, but upon closer inspection, there was also a playful tone to it.
Ji Niandong shook her head, tried to appear calm, and started chopping vegetables. She then urged him out, "Go watch some TV first, I’ll call you when the food is ready!"
Lu Beichen nodded, took a step, then turned back, put his head on her shoulder, embraced her from behind, and held her hand gripping the knife, afraid she might accidentally cut her fingers.
The person in his arms stiffened again, and he whispered softly in her ear, "Mrs. Lu, always so shy and sensitive. What should I do? Are you really planning to be a couple in name only with me?"
She didn’t expect him to say such a thing, and Ji Niandong now truly dared not move recklessly. Her hand being held transmitted waves of tingly sensation.
Honestly, getting married so abruptly, marrying a man at the top, it was already quite unbelievable, and this man was so unbelievably kind.
