Chapter 17: What was she expecting

The white mist immediately drifted down the bathroom door.

In the misty light and shadow, the man walked out in a black silk bathrobe, his wet hair still dripping with water, accompanied by the cold fragrance of mint, which eroded Nanyan's breath little by little.

She was stunned and subconsciously took two steps back.

The man in sight is tall, with a wide shoulders and a narrow waist with an inverted triangle body, and the lines of every muscle are just right.

Even the soaked clothes shrouded his perfect silhouette more clearly.

Nan Yan's eyes flickered, and he wanted to look away, but he still couldn't suppress the desire to look.

But the handsome man didn't seem to notice her red face, and just asked coldly:

"Something?"

Nan Yan's brows tightened, and he said hesitantly: "We...... Do you really want to live here? ”

There is only one bed in this bedroom, and even a quilt.

At a glance, you can see that this is specially prepared by Old Man Lu.

Lu Huaijing's dark eyes sank, "Do you not want to live here, or do you not want to live with me?" ”

What?

Nanyan was stunned, and his shocked eyes flashed with a hint of disbelief.

So, he thinks she doesn't want to share a bed with him?

She stammered, subconsciously trying to explain, "It's not—"

Shouldn't it be that he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with her?

But before she could finish this explanation, Lu Huaijing had already interrupted her.

"I know you have to defend others like jade, don't worry, I won't touch you."

The cold tone and even the faint disgust of the faint are there.

Nanyan's words to defend were stuck in her throat, she opened her mouth, and finally bit her lip.

Yes, she is a dirty woman, and he should mind.

However, he could obviously refuse, why humiliate her in this way?

Nanyan was like a fish in his throat, and he only felt that all the grievances and shame came to his heart.

The sudden silence of the room made Lu Huaijing frown, he turned around, and just saw her with her eyes down, her gloomy side face was thin and pale, even if it was covered by hair, the red and swollen slap prints could still be faintly seen.

Even, under the cuffs she rolled up, there were faint traces of white gauze.

"What's going on with the arm."

The cold inquiry made Nanyan come back to his senses in a trance.

She pulled her sleeve down, trying to hide it, "It's okay. ”

Nanyan lost her temper that day, and she accidentally burned herself, but before she could react, Lu Huaijing had already walked in front of her.

Forcefully grabbed the thin white wrist and rolled up his sleeves to check.

The wound under the gauze had begun to heal, but the burn scar still looked shocking.

Lu Huaijing frowned, but Nanyan didn't want him to continue watching, and subconsciously struggled to withdraw his hand.

But Lu Huaijing tightened his strength and looked at her with a frown.

"What are you hiding, have you brought medicine?"

Medicine?

Nanyan's movements were stunned, and she didn't know that she was going to spend the night in the old mansion tonight, how could she bring medicine?

Seeing her shake her head, Lu Huaijing let go of her, turned around and walked to the drawer of the cupboard, and took out a medicine box.

"Don't wrap it all the time, you're a doctor, you should know how to deal with it."

The cold man said, took out a box of ointment from the medicine box, dismantled it with ease, debrided, and applied the medicine, all in one go.

Nanyan was stunned, her wrist was grabbed by Lu Huaijing, and she couldn't move at all, so she could only let him deal with it.

didn't expect that Lu Huaijing, who had always been high, would personally help her deal with her wounds.

Nanyan's mood is complicated at the same time, but also a little chaotic.

She unconsciously thought of the night when she had a fever, and Aunt Zhou said that it was Lu Huaijing who helped her wipe her body and change her clothes.

Nanyan's face was hot, and he felt more and more that the place he was holding became hot.

She resisted in her heart and wanted to withdraw her hand, but this time, Lu Huaijing obediently let go.

"I've already taken care of the matter, those people have also been sent to the police station, and you won't see them again for the next ten years."

His voice sounded unexpectedly, as if he was casually explaining his homely routine.

Nanyan was a little surprised, but still responded in a low voice: "Got it." ”

Is the initiator trying to make amends?

She felt that the medicine she had just taken was not so sincere to take care of.

Is it to soothe her emotions?

Nanyan thought of this in hindsight, but Lu Huaijing's next sentence surprised her even more.

He seemed to have been brewing for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "That night, I didn't really go. ”

Dumping a woman on a winding road in the middle of the night also leads to her being in danger.

Even the woman he Lu Huaijing doesn't care about is the rightful Mrs. Lu of the Lu family.

He didn't even expect Nanyan to fight back, and after being surprised by her bravery, he felt a little guilty and angry.

Obviously, she can just bow her head.

Hasn't she always been like this?

But when Nanyan heard this, the stinging pain in his eyes became more obvious.

So, what he wants to express.

She lowered her eyelashes, thinking of the horror of that night, and thinking of everything afterwards, while her heart was heavy, she couldn't understand Lu Huaijing more and more.

couldn't help but ask softly: "Lu Huaijing, are you apologizing?" ”

Proud as he was, in the three years they had been married, they had never behaved like this.

This made Nanyan's original firm heart for divorce begin to waver again.

Lu Huaijing's eyes flashed, and it seemed that there was a dark and unknown emotion spreading.

In the bedroom, they were so close that he could almost smell the faint, calming scent of her body.

Nanyan hung her head like this, her crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, I don't know if it was an illusion, for a moment, Lu Huaijing seemed to see tears flashing in her eyes.

His heart seemed to have been hit by something, and he slowly raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to get closer to comfort him.

But, the next second-

"Buzz—"

The vibration of the mobile phone rang again, instantly causing Lu Huaijing's hand to freeze in mid-air.

As if waking up from a dream, Nanyan suddenly woke up, she watched Lu Huaijing stand up, and then walked towards the mobile phone vibrating at the head of the bed.

Skillfully walked towards the balcony, leaving only Nanyan with an indifferent back.

The wind in the night was a little cold, as if it had blown into her heart in an instant.

Because just now, she clearly saw that the name flashing on the phone was:

Joy.

What a striking two words, always so just right and out of place.

The embarrassment in Nanyan's eyes was even worse, she was really confused, just now, when Lu Huaijing raised her hand, her heart unconsciously rose with a trace of anticipation.

What exactly was she expecting?

Even Nanyan himself thought it was ridiculous.
