Chapter 6: What Kind of Male Bodhisattva Is This…

Jiang Ning swore.

She had only been stunned for a moment, just giving him a second glance!

The next second, he raised his hand and smoothly put on his shirt, turning his head to look at her, his gaze directly meeting her dumbfounded look as if she had never seen the world before. She couldn’t even avoid it.

Lu Dingquan’s dark eyes were faintly indifferent, with no discernible expression, as he lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.

Jiang Ning stayed where she was, quietly frowning and taking a deep breath.

What kind of male bodhisattva is this…

…No! Stay calm!

This shouldn’t be happening! Jiang Ning, wake up, you’ve seen the world!!

You’ve been on Douyin for years, what kind of male bodhisattva haven’t you seen? Just him, him, pfft…

Jiang Ning closed her eyes and sat down on the sofa, licking her dry lips.

She had to admit, just her ex-husband’s physique, even among male bodhisattvas, he would be considered top-tier.

How to put it, at first glance, she knew the man was pretty, but she didn’t expect… that he would be even more handsome shirtless.

Cough.

Jiang Ning wiped her damp hair, taking a long time to appear calm.

After a while, Lu Dingquan also came out of the inner room, wearing an old gray shirt. She quietly lifted her eyelashes and glanced at him, the buttons were fastened from the top to the bottom.

Good heavens, was he intentionally guarding against her, treating her like an outsider?

Of course, Jiang Ning was just overthinking. She was a proper person, she wouldn’t be lusting after his body.

The clock ticked nine, she finished drying her hair and yawned, feeling sleepy.

The atmosphere in the room was too quiet. Lu Dingquan had been at the small table by the window, flipping through some papers, occasionally sketching with a pen.

She casually glanced over, it seemed to have some schematic diagrams of mechanical structures, even with English on it.

Jiang Ning remembered, what was the ending of her ex-husband in that drama?

Although her character went offline, he didn’t have much screen time as a supporting character, but he was still mentioned a few times by the main character.

It was said that Factory Manager Lu revived the almost bankrupt factory, introduced investment to expand its scale, led the factory to successfully transform, and even became a model on the local newspaper.

A pretty good ending.

Thinking about it, this is what they call “no woman in the heart, the sword naturally becomes a god,” right?

Her ex-husband was very tolerant in his personal life, which meant he could also endure hardship at work. After the divorce, without the constraints of a woman, he would be completely unhindered, wholeheartedly immersed in his work, until he became an industry leader!

Jiang Ning instantly became vigilant when she thought of this.

Her current plan was to temporarily not divorce this good-for-nothing husband, but wouldn’t this change his later outcome?

This wouldn’t do!

“Blocking someone’s path to wealth is like killing their parents, this is a sin…”

She muttered to herself, feeling that she had to find a way, both to continue being a hanger-on on the big shot’s leg, and not hinder Lu Dingquan’s career path.

“What are you staring at me for.”

The low voice suddenly sounded, startling her.

Lu Dingquan looked over steadily, his deep eyes filled with suspicion.

Jiang Ning’s eyes flashed, she quickly laughed it off: “Nothing, I’m sleepy, I have to go to rest. Big shot… Old Lu, don’t work too late, take care of yourself, this work is a long game.”

After she finished speaking, she hugged her towel and went into the inner room.

The man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as her words fell.

Calling him Old Lu was fine.

Take care of himself?

And take extra care.

…

Jiang Ning didn’t know that she had unintentionally offended the big shot again. She looked at the bed, intending to be honest and sleep inside, at worst, she would sleep against the wall, she wouldn’t move around.

Just treat it as filming, everyone sleeping separately, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Just as she was about to climb onto the bed, the man behind her, with a magnetic voice, also walked over, with a subtle tone:

“You’re sleeping here tonight?”

The space in the inner room behind the curtain was even smaller, besides the bed, it was hard to even turn around. She turned her head and almost bumped into him.

She moved to the side hesitantly, her eyes hesitant: “Then where should I sleep?”

The overhead light suddenly flickered twice, then with a pop, it completely went out.

This tube building didn’t have frequent power outages, but tonight, unfortunately, they ran into one.

The vision suddenly plunged into darkness, Jiang Ning subconsciously let out a soft cry, her knees didn’t pay attention and bumped against the edge of the bed, then a strong hand grabbed her arm.

They had both taken a shower, using the same brand of soap, the air still carried a faint fragrance.

Jiang Ning was half-supported by him, she almost held her breath, realizing that being in the same room, the pressure the man brought was not a little bit, she was just a small dish in front of him.

His palm was very large and hot, if he wanted to, he could easily lift her up, without even panting.

She trembled and said: “…Why did it suddenly go dark?”

Lu Dingquan’s hand holding her wrist unconsciously tightened, the woman was soft and boneless, he sighed in his chest, then subconsciously let go, unconsciously asking:

“Are you afraid of the dark?”

Jiang Ning was indeed very afraid of the dark, a lingering childhood fear, but she had been filming night scenes for years, she thought she had overcome it.

His question brought back her memories.

Did the original character also have a fear of the dark? She didn’t remember.

After he let go, she immediately retracted her hand, forcing herself to say: “A little, but it’s okay.”

Lu Dingquan’s eyesight was very good, he quickly adapted to the darkness. Through the moonlight shining in from the window, he could see the woman’s slightly pursed pink lips, and her chest rising and falling slightly due to nervousness.

She was wearing a very conservative floral cotton pajamas, but the top button wasn’t fastened. A flash of car headlights briefly swept across the window pane outside, the warm yellow light quickly slid across her white and slender collarbone, his gaze unconsciously darkened.

Then there was another pop.

The light came back on.

It seemed that the power hadn’t gone out, just a temporary electrical fault.

Jiang Ning looked up, meeting the man’s silent gaze.

There was a faint light of confusion in her eyes, she was about to figure out how to deal with this situation.

Then she heard the man, as if nothing had happened, say: “Don’t you usually like to sleep on the sofa?”

“It’s late, go to sleep.”

Jiang Ning: …?

? What?

You have the guts to say it again?
