Chapter 10

Lu Chengwen's blood ran cold!

It's just a web novel... you never know how the minor villains will die.

Sometimes the author's imagination is... as disgusting as shit.

The female lead is already in your bed when you wake up?

And it's like this?

Good grief, I carried the burden all day without crossing the line, and you guys maxed out my hate points while I was sleeping?

Isn't this bullying the bad guy?

Sweat beads dripped from Lu Chengwen's forehead, and his whole body stiffened, not daring to move an inch.

In his mind, he was already imagining Long Aotian bursting into his house, smashing his head with one palm, and pushing Leng Qingqiu into the mushy romance plot...

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu looked beautiful.

The beauty was asleep, and the morning... it was actually noon sunlight shining on her perfect face, making every eyelash look so perfect and delicate.

She slept so soundly, so relaxed, so beautiful, so sweet...

But Lu Chengwen had no time to admire the beauty; he knew his life was hanging by a thread.

If this matter wasn't handled well, he might be killed off and sent to collect his box lunch.

However, at this moment, Leng Qingqiu was resting her head on his arm, sleeping very soundly.

Lu Chengwen thought quickly: Stay calm! I can handle this! But I need to act fast!

Lu Chengwen slowly extended his other hand, gently supporting Leng Qingqiu's head, and slowly tried to pull his arm out.

He slowly moved back, but in her sleep, Leng Qingqiu, perhaps dreaming, frowned and moved closer, snuggling into Lu Chengwen's embrace, not only continuing to rest her head on his right arm but also naturally hugging his left arm as well.

Lu Chengwen was in a panic!

What if Long Aotian saw this?

Lu Chengwen waited for Leng Qingqiu to sleep more soundly and then slowly started moving again.

Supporting her head, he slowly pulled out his arm and placed a pillow under it…

In his mind, he thought:

【Good baby, don't wake up, you're exhausted, have a good sleep.】

【I'm about to disappear, I didn't do anything on purpose, I was just as confused as you.】

【Good Qingqiu, it's almost done, when you wake up, you'll be alone in the room.】

Lu Chengwen finally managed to do it.

He exhaled, but just as he was about to get up, he saw Leng Qingqiu's eyes wide open, staring straight at him.

She had no expression, neither angry nor happy, neither speaking nor moving, just looking at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen swallowed hard: "I... can explain!"

Lu Chengwen accidentally fell off the bed and quickly scrambled to his feet.

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu's eyes were wide open, with no trace of the usual corporate president's demeanor, looking like a harmless little animal, curiously watching Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen stood on the ground, sincerely declaring: "I didn't do anything."

"Really. You were drunk yesterday, right? Oh, you were so drunk you were talking nonsense. Someone wanted to take you away, but I didn't know if your subordinates were reliable, so I brought you home. You understand, right?"

"But I didn't do anything!"

"I originally settled you in the guest room, I don't know why you ended up in my bedroom. Oh, this is the guest room. Ha ha! It's fine. Really, I didn't do anything!"

"It's just... I went to the pharmaceutical factory yesterday, and a batch of drugs had to be destroyed overnight. I was exhausted, and when I came back, I thought I was in my own room, but I don't know why I ended up here..."

Lu Chengwen was almost in tears: "I swear to the lamp, I didn't do anything!"

When Leng Qingqiu opened her eyes, she saw this guy being extremely careful, moving gently, even holding his breath, slowly lifting her arm and placing it, and pulling the blanket to cover her exposed legs…

She was incredibly smart and understood instantly.

This guy was about to run away.

She could tell he was almost scared to death, his forehead covered in sweat, clearly unprepared for the current situation, trying to escape without waking her up.

And she was still fully dressed, clearly indicating "he didn't do anything."

So Leng Qingqiu wasn't angry; instead, she found this guy a bit amusing.

She silently watched his performance.

It was quite entertaining.

Especially when he realized she was awake, he panicked and started stammering explanations non-stop.

Leng Qingqiu was quite mischievous.

She didn't speak, just watched him perform.

She had no expression, giving no emotional cues, letting him play freely.

When Leng Qingqiu saw him almost collapse, she finally held back her laughter and calmly said: "It's fine."

Leng Qingqiu sat up, stretched her neck, and acted as if nothing had happened.

This was completely unexpected for Lu Chengwen.

【What's going on?】

【Shouldn't she be screaming? Shouldn't she be calling me a beast, a monster, a bastard?】

【How... is it fine? Do I not need to explain?】

【Or is she just waiting to catch me in the act and then have someone beat me up?】

【Does she even have a clear understanding of the current situation? Oh God, I really didn't do anything!】

Leng Qingqiu yawned, then got out of bed.

Lu Chengwen quickly and obsequiously handed her a new pair of slippers.

Leng Qingqiu naturally put on the slippers, looked at her face in the mirror, patted it, and fixed her hair, acting as if she was at home.

Lu Chengwen stood behind her, hands in front of him, nervously saying:

"Hey... say something, you... this... I... I'm scared."

Leng Qingqiu turned her head: "Why did you sleep in my room?"

Lu Chengwen quickly replied: "I don't know! I swear to the lamp, I really don't know! I was so exhausted yesterday, I just fell asleep when I lay down... maybe because it was my first day here, I got the rooms mixed up or something, I really didn't do anything!"

Leng Qingqiu couldn't hold back and turned to laugh, then seriously said:

"I need to freshen up, get out."

"Yes!"

Lu Chengwen turned and darted out of the room like a rocket, closing the door and leaning against it, exhaling deeply.

【Heaven! I'm still alive!】

【If she thought I did it on purpose, I'd be in deep trouble!】

【Looks like this Leng Qingqiu is pretty reasonable!】

Leng Qingqiu, behind the door, couldn't hold back her laughter anymore, secretly smiling.

She thought: This deadbeat, I heard all his thoughts and he doesn't even know.

If you did it on purpose, do you think I'd let you off?

...

Lu Chengwen finished freshening up and took the elevator to the first-floor dining room.

When he entered, he saw the whole family eating together.

Lu Chengwen was starving.

Just escaping a crisis made him feel elated and radiant: "Hey, everyone's here? Dad, Mom, good morning. Wow, the food looks great today, quick, quick, Aunt Xia, give me a bowl of rice, I'm starving..."

Aunt Xia stood there, awkwardly smiling, not moving.

"Serve the rice!" Lu Chengwen looked at Aunt Xia: "What's wrong?"

He then looked at his family and noticed everyone was unusually quiet.

Only Lu Guanghong wasn't looking at him, expressionless, staring at his food and eating with a crunching sound.

Lu Chengwen knew something was wrong.

He forced a smile: "Dad, is... something wrong?"

Lu Guanghong finally looked up at Lu Chengwen: "What did you do last night? What did you do to Qingqiu?"

Lu Chengwen understood.

"Ah! I can explain!" Lu Chengwen said: "That batch of drugs had不合格的成分, to be honest, it's my brother's fault. To cut costs, he skimped on the ingredients. Dad, we can't keep indulging him. Drugs save lives! Don't let him touch the pharmaceutical business anymore..."

Lu Guanghong somehow pulled out a broom handle.

Yes, the Lu family's tradition was to always have a broom handle, a basic cleaning tool in rural households.

Even in their five-story villa, they had a broom handle.

The broom handle was the Lu family's totem!

The Lu family's educational tool!

The Lu family's stabilizer!

The Lu family's children's nightmare!

Lu Chengwen immediately stood up, taking a step back: "Dad, let's talk, why are you grabbing a weapon? That batch of drugs really can't be sold! Can't we just count the loss as mine?"

"A few billion, I can afford it! I trusted you with the business, I'm not afraid of losing money."

"Then why...?"

"I'm asking you, what did you do last night? What did you do to Qingqiu?"

Lu Chengwen finally understood that his father was upset about this.

"I can explain this too!"

"Explain your ass! I'll beat you first, then you can explain!"

Lu Guanghong leaped up, agilely.

"Hey? Dad! Dad, Dad! No, ouch! Dad! I really didn't do anything!"

"You didn't? Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Damn, any man can chase women, but using such despicable means on your fiancée, did I teach you that? If I don't beat you to death today, the broom handle is useless!"

"Dad, what did the broom handle ever do to you? Please listen to me first!"

"Explain? Explain to the weapon in my hand? You're trying to run? Stand there! Stand there and listen! Take off your pants and show your ass!"

Lu's mother quickly intervened: "Guanghong, Chengwen is in his twenties and about to get married, you can't strip his pants and spank him anymore."

"He won't learn if I don't spank him!"

Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated: "It's really a misunderstanding, why don't you believe me?"

"Believe you? I wouldn't believe you even if you were the only one left in the world!"

"Dad, don't pull my pants, ouch, give me some dignity!"

Father and son started wrestling in the dining room.

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu stood on the stairs, awkwardly coughing, her voice barely audible, her face red: "Uncle, Aunt, good morning."

Lu Guanghong instantly stopped, straightened up, and hid the broom handle behind his back: "Oh, Qingqiu, you're awake, come, come, are you hungry? Let's eat, let's eat."

Lu Chengwen quickly pulled up his pants, his face red with embarrassment.

How embarrassing! Being caught by his father pulling down his pants in front of his fiancée, it was embarrassing beyond measure.

Leng Qingqiu found the father-son duo's actions so comical she couldn't help but laugh, but she felt it was impolite and tried to suppress her laughter, blushing and feeling shy.

The Lu family's tradition was just a rumor, but seeing it in person, she realized it was even more simple and down-to-earth than she had heard.

Lu's mother also quickly walked over, holding Leng Qingqiu's hand: "Qingqiu, are you hungry? Chengwen was being unreasonable, forcing you to drink, right? Next time, don't indulge him, don't give him face, if he causes trouble, tell us, we'll support you."

Leng Qingqiu was the eldest daughter of the Leng family.

The first executive president of Qianfeng Group.

Noble, elegant, a successful woman in high society.

Now, after being brought home drunk and staying overnight, and her future in-laws knowing about it... it was really damaging her image.

How would her future in-laws see her? What kind of woman would she be seen as?

She was so embarrassed, her face red to the roots of her neck, as red as a boiled crab.

Even the strongest woman would show a shy side in such a situation.

She lowered her head, her voice weak: "Uncle, Aunt, it's really... a misunderstanding... last night, I was... too stubborn, Brother Chengwen didn't... do anything to me."

Lu Chengwen, seeing Leng Qingqiu's shy and embarrassed look, was instantly captivated.

Then he snapped back to reality, jumping in front of his father: "See! See! She said I didn't do anything!"

Lu Guanghong hit Lu Chengwen on the head with the broom handle: "Shut up!"
