Chapter 422: So, How Is He... In That Aspect?
"My, my, my, look at you blushing! I guess I was right! Honestly, Xiao Nian, it’s a good thing! What’s there to be shy about? And besides, this will make all those old rumors fall apart on their own, right? Come on, just whisper it to me... how is your Lu Cheng, you know... in *that* department?"
Lin Jingyun watched Shen Nian with a mischievous grin. With everything that had happened with Zhang Ying, she hadn’t had the mind to ask about such things! But now, Zhang Ying was safe, and that pest Liu Fanglan had confessed. She was in a fantastic mood! And when she was in a good mood, her thoughts naturally turned to all sorts of nonsense like this.
"Sister Jingyun..."
Shen Nian could feel her face growing hot from Lin Jingyun’s teasing. ’I should have known,’ she thought. The last time they were together, Lin Jingyun had already imparted a great deal of bedroom wisdom to her. It wasn’t surprising at all that she’d ask a question like this now!
"Oh, come on, don’t be shy. Just tell me, how is he?"
"He’s great!"
Shen Nian practically spat out those two words through gritted teeth. She was absolutely certain that if she didn’t say something, Lin Jingyun would just keep asking!
Besides, she wasn’t lying. ’When it came to *that*, Lu Cheng was far more than just "great"!’
"Tsk, tsk. Seems you’re quite satisfied! Don’t worry, I won’t be jealous. My Zhang Yuanjun is pretty good himself!"
"..."
Shen Nian stared at Lin Jingyun, utterly floored by Sister Jingyun’s boldness. She couldn’t even stop herself from glancing over at Zhang Yuanjun.
’Minister Zhang, are you sure you’re not going to rein in your wife?’
As it happened, just as Shen Nian glanced toward Zhang Yuanjun, he and Lu Cheng had finished up their business and were walking over to them.
"Well now, why is Lu Cheng’s wife’s face so red?"
Shen Nian was inwardly mortified. Her blush from Lin Jingyun’s teasing hadn’t faded yet, and now Zhang Yuanjun had seen it plain as day.
’Oh no, don’t tell me Zhang Yuanjun is going to make fun of me now too, not just Lin Jingyun!’
"What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Lu Cheng, however, walked straight up to Shen Nian, his face etched with worry as he spoke.
’I’ve been careless. I wore her out so much last night, and before that, she had to deal with Liu Fanglan making trouble. Then she even used her Spiritual Energy to save Zhang Ying, and on top of all that, she came here with me.’
’I should have realized sooner. I should have sent Shen Nian home already.’
"I’m fine, it’s probably just a bit stuffy in here!"
Shen Nian shook her head at Lu Cheng. She was too embarrassed to admit that she was blushing entirely because of Lin Jingyun’s teasing.
"Let’s go outside then."
Lu Cheng didn’t doubt Shen Nian’s words for a second. The police interrogation room only had a door and no windows, so it was perfectly normal for it to feel stuffy.
Lu Cheng protectively led Shen Nian out. Behind them, Zhang Yuanjun watched the pair, still a bit confused, until Lin Jingyun leaned close and whispered a few words in his ear. Understanding instantly dawned on him, and he started to laugh.
"Hahaha, that guy!"
Even though she had already left the interrogation room with Lu Cheng, Shen Nian could still hear Zhang Yuanjun’s laughter from behind them, which only made her feel even more mortified.
She shot Lu Cheng an indignant glare. "This is all your fault!"
Lu Cheng rubbed his chin. ’My fault? But I don’t think I did anything just now...’
’Still, since my wife says it’s my fault, then it’s my fault. Whatever she says goes.’
"My fault, my fault!"
Shen Nian watched Lu Cheng agree to take the blame despite clearly not understanding why, and a complicated feeling stirred within her.
’Why doesn’t he ask me what’s wrong? But if he actually asked, how could I possibly answer?’
’Argh, this is giving me a headache!’
