Chapter 2041: Not That Kind Of Relationship
Was lying on top of him a deliberate attempt to flirt with him?
Did she do that because he refused to give her an ice-cold soda in the evening?
Lu Xingzhi gritted his teeth and plimented Jiang Yao before getting out of bed and leaving the room.
Jiang Yao initially thought Lu Xingzhi had gone to the study, but then she heard running water from the bathroom—he had gone to take a cold shower.
Jiang Yao’s heart was filled with joy after taking her revenge. Then, she took her phone and continued to text Wen Xuehui. Lu Xingzhi came back about 20 minutes later. His hair was still wet, and he was chewing gum.
Ever since Jiang Yao became pregnant, Lu Xingzhi had voluntarily quit smoking. Therefore, he always had gum at home. Sometimes, when he was alone at home, he wanted to smoke. He was frustrated that he could only chew gum.
So, Jiang Yao really had her way that night.Support our .
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Xingzhi casually glanced at the bed and saw Jiang Yao holding her phone and laughing discreetly. Those who did not know would think she was very happy when texting Wen Xuehui. Those who knew would understand that she was happy for her revenge.
“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll ruin your husband?” Lu Xingzhi hung the towel he used to wipe his hair before lying on the bed. “You’ll be crying in the future.”
Jiang Yao gloated at Lu Xingzhi and even stuck her tongue out at him. Just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Yao thought it was Wen Xuehui texting her. However, it was Du Chen.
Since Du Chen called Jiang Yao so late, it must be an urgent matter, so Jiang Yao picked up without any delay.
“Director Jiang, it’s late. Am I disturbing your rest?” Jiang Yao did not sound like she was woken up, so Du Chen immediately apologized. He wanted to hang up.
“No, I’m not asleep yet.’
Jiang Yao heard the uneasiness in Du Chen’s words and felt a little awkward. “Is there something you need me for?”
...
That was Jiang Yao’s guess, but she assumed Du Chen was looking for her because of a personal matter.
Du Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Jiang Yao had not slept yet. “I will need to trouble you, Director Jiang. I am here to plead on behalf of Zhou Hailan. I know she is currently kneeling at the army base entrance, and I also know why she offended you and Young Master Lu.’
“You’re pleading on Zhou Hailan’s behalf? Are you her financier in Jindo City? Zhou Hailan is your woman?” Jiang Yao was speechless.
Du Chen hurriedly explained, “No! No! Director Jiang, please don’t misunderstand. Zhou Hailan and I don’t have that kind of relationship. I would still be a cripple today if it had not been for you. Even if I wanted to play around, I wouldn’t do it.’
“Well, you broke your legs, not—”
Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows. “Then you know what Zhou Hailan did to offend me. Why are you intervening on her behalf?”
“I had no choice. I owe her a big favor. She saved me once.” Du Chen let out a long sigh. “She was the one who pulled me out of the car when I was in the car accident. If it were not for her desperate attempt to pull me out, I would have died in the explosion.”
“She saved my life, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and trouble you, Director Jiang. I hope you can let her off this time. If I can help her this once, I will be able to repay my debt to her..”
