Chapter 14

Lu Zhengguo walked over and saw the almost empty jar in her hand, then he saw her rubbing the milky white face cream on her face.

Her originally fair and translucent skin was instantly covered with a bit of oiliness.

Although this oiliness didn’t detract from the beauty of her face, he couldn’t understand why she would put oil on her face at night.

After applying the face cream, Shen Man saw the man’s tall and imposing figure and his sharp-featured face in the mirror.

She couldn’t help but say, “Why aren’t you going to sleep?”

Why was he standing behind her?

Lu Zhengguo looked at the almost empty jar on the dressing table, “Do you want me to bring you a jar from the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow?”

As an apology for calling her back from her parents’ house tonight.

Shen Man stopped combing her hair, “Okay, but I want the exact same one, remember not to buy the wrong one.”

This small jar of face cream was a high-end face cream brought back from Shanghai through connections, a small jar cost eight yuan, their small county’s supply and marketing cooperative didn’t sell it.

She wanted to see how Lu Zhengguo would buy it for her.

Lu Zhengguo nodded slightly, “I’ll bring you two jars back tomorrow.”

Such a small jar probably wouldn’t last a few days.

Shen Man finished packing up, it was already late.

Lu Zhengguo sat at the desk writing a letter, under the dim light, the man’s brows were cold, he pursed his lips and lowered his head, as if his attention was all on the letter in front of him.

His bony hand held the pen, writing carefully, occasionally he would stop writing, lower his head and think.

Shen Man didn’t bother him, she went to bed on the inside, leaving half the bed for him.

There was only one quilt in this room, it was the big embroidered quilt they used when they got married four years ago.

After thinking for a moment, judging from Lu Zhengguo’s attitude towards her this morning, this man wouldn’t touch her, and he wouldn’t share a quilt with her.

So Shen Man directly pulled the only quilt to her side, then hugged the quilt and prepared to go to sleep.

In front of the desk.

Lu Zhengguo finished writing the letter and put it in an envelope, he looked down at the time, it was nine thirty at night, it was time to rest.

He just got up and went to bed, he saw that the only quilt was already pulled over by the woman, he didn’t leave him any.

The outside of the bed did leave him a little space.

Lu Zhengguo stood there for a moment, then turned and opened the closet in the room.

However, it was basically all women’s clothes inside, there were even some intimate underwear.

His eyes paused for a moment, he discreetly moved his gaze, scanning the entire closet.

There was no quilt in here.

Everyone was asleep now, he didn’t want to disturb anyone.

Lu Zhengguo finally got into bed, he planned to make do for one night.

The autumn night was still cold.

In the middle of the night.

A faint fragrance lingered around Lu Zhengguo, he frowned slightly, he woke up again, he lowered his head and looked at the thigh pressing down on him.

This was the third time he woke up tonight.

He was silent for a moment, he turned his head and glanced at the sleeping woman, he moved her thigh off of him again.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Zhengguo always felt that Shen Man had changed since he came back.

It was still the same person, the same face, even her personality was about the same.

But the feeling she gave him was different.

In her sleep, Shen Man, who was half-awake, always felt like a big mosquito was biting her thigh, and it was still staring at her.

She couldn’t stand it anymore, she raised her hand and slapped the place where her thigh was being bitten.

Damn mosquito, how dare it make her uncomfortable while she’s sleeping, she’ll kill it.

With a slap.

Lu Zhengguo looked at his hand that had been slapped, he completely froze.

Then, the woman rolled over, taking the warm quilt with her and rolling into his arms, one hand resting on his chest.

That faint fragrance became even stronger, as if engulfing him completely.

Lu Zhengguo’s body instantly tensed up, he subconsciously held his breath.

His mind flashed back to the woman’s flushed, watery face and her soft hands holding his waist this afternoon.

At this time, Shen Man, who was asleep, rolled over again.

Unintentionally, the woman’s soft lips brushed against his arm.

Lu Zhengguo’s body instantly stiffened, the place where she touched him felt like a flame burning fiercely.

The whole night.

Lu Zhengguo hardly slept at all.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn.

He directly moved Shen Man’s hand and leg off of him, he rolled over and got out of bed, he strode out of the room.

Lu Mu, who had just gotten up, saw his hurried figure leaving, she was stunned, she thought he had something urgent to do, she quickly chased after him.

“Zhengguo, you haven’t eaten breakfast yet, why are you going out so early?”

Lu Zhengguo stopped, “Mom, I won’t eat breakfast, I have something to do.”

He left these words behind and quickly disappeared.

Lu Mu touched her head in confusion, “Didn’t you say you were on vacation, what’s so urgent that you have to go out early in the morning?”

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she remembered what he said last night, that he would help his sister solve her job problem, could it be that he thought of a solution?

Thinking of this, Lu Mu turned and ran back into the room, she pushed Lu Fu, who was still sleeping in bed, awake.

“He’s here, He’s here, wake up, what time is it, you’re still sleeping, I have something to tell you.”

“What’s the matter, it’s so early, let me sleep a little longer.” Lu Fu mumbled sleepily, he turned over and continued to sleep.

“Sleep, sleep, sleep, you just know how to sleep.” Lu Mu was angry, she pinched the man several times before she was satisfied.

Soon, she calmed down.

No, Zhengguo helping Hongmei find a job, she absolutely couldn’t let Shen Man know, if she knew, she would probably cause trouble again.

She had to wait at home for Zhengguo to come back and tell him properly, so he wouldn’t slip up.

Soon, the Lu family got up one after another.

Zhang Fengxia glanced at Shen Man’s room, “Mom, look, she’s still asleep, you’re going to have a grandson soon.”

The Lu family now has two children, both of whom were born to her, and they are both boys.

Shen Man has been married into the Lu family for so many years, she hasn’t even laid an egg, she still has the nerve to put on airs in front of her.

Lu Mu rolled her eyes at her, “Fengxia, say less, what if she hears you, she’ll make trouble again.”

It’s early in the morning, everyone in the family has to go to work, if they really make a fuss, will they be able to go to work?

Shen Man had just pushed the door open when she heard the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking, she listened carefully, they were still talking about her.

She stopped, she smiled and looked up at the two of them, “Mom, Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, are you talking about me?”

Lu Mu was startled by the sudden voice, her face changed slightly, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

“Second daughter-in-law, you… you’re up…”

She was caught talking about someone behind their back, Zhang Fengxia’s face was also a little uncomfortable.
