Chapter 168: Thoughts

Lu Qingyun’s breath hitched, his Adam’s apple bobbed uncontrollably, and his eyes flashed with intense heat.

The next moment, he reached out and pulled Ling Yao tightly into his arms. Then, with firm and powerful strides, he walked towards the room.

“You brought this on yourself…” Lu Qingyun’s voice was low and magnetic, seeming to contain endless emotion and desire.

Ling Yao lightly punched Lu Qingyun’s shoulder, her eyes revealing a hint of shyness and anticipation.

She pouted at him, “We agreed this was punishment, you can’t go back on your word!”

Lu Qingyun let out a low chuckle, his voice slightly hoarse, “I won’t go back on my word. But we can change the punishment later.”

“But I’m not full yet.” Ling Yao looked at Lu Qingyun with a pitiful expression. It’s true that you can’t mess with a man who’s just had his first taste of the forbidden fruit.

“Be good, I’ll feed you later.” Lu Qingyun gently coaxed her, gently laying Ling Yao on the bed.

He leaned down, kissed Ling Yao’s petal-like tempting red lips, and slowly deepened the kiss…

“Knock, knock, knock!” A knock came from outside.

Lu Qingyun frowned, not wanting to pay any attention.

“Captain Lu! Captain Lu! Are you home? My Xiao Yu has something stuck in his throat, can you take him to the hospital, Captain Lu…”

 A voice of anxious shouting came from outside.

Lu Qingyun recognized the voice as Zhou Li, the wife of Mr. Yang. Last month, Mr. Yang unfortunately died on a mission.

 According to regulations, Zhou Li and her son should have moved out of the family quarters, but she was a widow with a child, and she had no relatives in her hometown to rely on, so the organization allowed them to stay in the family quarters for now.

Lu Qingyun released Ling Yao, stood up, and took several deep breaths to suppress his desire.

Just as he was about to open the door, Ling Yao grabbed Lu Qingyun, “I’ll go.” She was a doctor, it would be more appropriate for her to go than him.

“Okay.” Lu Qingyun nodded. He was in no state to see anyone right now.

Zhou Li kept knocking on the door and shouting.

Just then, a creaking sound was heard, and the door slowly opened.

Zhou Li’s heart leaped with joy, thinking that Lu Qingyun had opened the door.

When she saw who it was, the smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by disappointment.

“Where’s Captain Lu?” Zhou Li suppressed the disappointment in her heart and asked.

“He’s out on business. I’ll go with you to take a look.” Ling Yao answered softly.

“What good will you do? You’re not a doctor.” As Zhou Li spoke, she pushed Ling Yao aside and stepped towards the room.

She had liked Lu Qingyun for a long time, but she had a husband, so she could only bury her feelings deep in her heart.

Now that her husband had passed away, she finally had a chance to get close to Lu Qingyun, but unexpectedly, Lu Qingyun had gotten married.

How could she accept such a result?

Ling Yao was quick and agile. She quickly reached out and stopped Zhou Li, who was about to barge in, and looked at her seriously,

 “I am a doctor. Do you want to save your child? Or is your child actually fine?”

Zhou Li was a little guilty, “Who… who said I didn’t want to save my child? You come with me to save my child now.

 If you can’t save my child, I’ll hold you accountable.” After all, there’s plenty of time, Captain Lu will be hers sooner or later.

Lu Qingyun came out of the house at this moment.

Zhou Li’s eyes lit up instantly, her eyes fixed on Lu Qingyun, her heart racing.

Lu Qingyun frowned slightly and walked to Ling Yao’s side, “Yaoyao, I’ll go with you.” Mr. Yang was his comrade-in-arms.

 Before he died, he entrusted him to take care of his wife and child. He naturally had to go and see them.

“Okay.” Ling Yao smiled and nodded.

Zhou Li lived not far away, just east of Ling Yao’s house. It was just a short walk.

Pushing open the courtyard door, they saw a young child lying quietly on the cold ground, motionless.

Zhou Li rushed forward, tightly holding the child, “Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! What’s wrong with you?

 Don’t scare your mother! Xiao Yu, if anything happens to you, how will your mother live… woo woo woo…”

Seeing this, Ling Yao walked forward and reached out, “Don’t cry yet, let me take a look at the child.”

Zhou Li raised her tear-filled eyes, her pleading gaze fixed on Lu Qingyun, “Captain Lu, please take my Xiao Yu to the hospital, please! If it’s any later, I’m afraid he really won’t be saved…”

Lu Qingyun looked at Zhou Li with a scrutinizing gaze, “My wife is a doctor, let her check the situation first.”

Hearing this, Zhou Li hesitated. She hugged the child in her arms tightly, “I’m not sure, it’s safer to go to the hospital directly.”

Ling Yao reached out, took the child’s hand, and placed her finger on his pulse.

“What are you doing?” Zhou Li quickly took a step back.

Ling Yao withdrew her hand, turned to look at Lu Qingyun, “Let’s go back, the child is fine.”

From the moment she saw the child’s complexion, she knew that the child was just faking unconsciousness and nothing was stuck in his throat.

Why did Zhou Li call Lu Qingyun here? What was her purpose?

Lu Qingyun nodded. He naturally trusted his wife.

“Captain Lu, before Old Yang died, he asked you to take good care of us, mother and son.

You can’t ignore us! If Old Yang knew, he wouldn’t rest in peace, woo woo woo…” Zhou Li cried out.

Her cries quickly attracted the attention of those around her.

Yang Qiuhong saw Lu Qingyun and Ling Yao were also there. Her eyes rolled, she twisted her hips and walked forward, asking with a forced smile,

 “Sister Zhou, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Zhou Li’s eyes were misty, her voice choked with emotion as she replied, “My Xiao Yu ate something, and it got stuck in his throat.

 He’s fainted now. I wanted to ask Captain Lu to drive him to the hospital for treatment, but his wife…”

At this point, Zhou Li deliberately stopped talking, not continuing, as if there was something she couldn’t say.

Everyone turned their gaze to Ling Yao, their eyes filled with blame and resentment.

Someone angrily criticized, “Sister Lu, what you’re doing is really outrageous. The child’s life is at stake, there’s no time to delay.”

Another person nodded in agreement, “Yes, if something really happens, can you bear the responsibility?”

“Captain Lu, quickly take Sister Zhou and her son to the hospital. Don’t let anything happen.”

“Yes, the child’s life is the most important.”

Everyone was talking at once, the scene became very chaotic.

A flash of triumph crossed Zhou Li’s eyes. She looked at Lu Qingyun pleadingly, “Captain Lu!”

Lu Qingyun walked forward and reached out to take the child from Zhou Li’s hands.
