Chapter 44: I Never Expected You to Repay Anything

Cen Wan smacked her lips twice: “Tang Tang, you’re so fierce.”

At that moment, someone’s phone rang. Cen Wan looked around: “Whose phone is that?”

Shen Jianyu looked at the phone on the sofa: “It seems to be mine.”

She squinted her eyes, picked up the phone, and answered: “Who is this?”

“Shen, Jian, Yu!” The person on the other end of the phone spat out the words through gritted teeth.

Shen Jianyu continued to lie on the sofa, rubbing her eyes: “Yeah, it’s Shen Jianyu. Please send work to my email. Thank you.”

“Where’s Cen Wan?”

“She’s right here.” Shen Jianyu said honestly. She looked at her phone: “This isn’t my phone. Cen Wan is looking for you.”

“Looking for me?” Cen Wan asked drowsily. “Who is it? What do they want?”

The phone was still in Shen Jianyu’s hand. She helped Cen Wan ask: “Who is this?”

“Who do you think it is?” The person on the other end of the phone had run out of patience. The people on this end hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation.

Shen Jianyu recognized the voice. She handed the phone to Cen Wan: “It seems to be your husband.”

“My husband?” Cen Wan took the phone and giggled: “I actually have a husband.”

The person on the other end of the phone heard her clearly. Cen Wan put the phone to her ear: “Hello, hubby, I’m your wife~”

The person on the other end of the phone pinched his brow, his voice cold: “Where are you?”

“At a bar.” Cen Wan giggled foolishly.

“Which bar?”

“North Alley Bar.” Cen Wan was so drunk that if she held up two fingers in front of her eyes, she wouldn’t know how many it was. “Hubby, are you coming to find me?”

The person on the other end coldly hummed in response. He didn’t say anything else, and he didn’t hang up the phone. Cen Wan’s phone was low on battery, and it shut off after a while.

Cen Wan hugged the bottle of alcohol, sat on the sofa, and laughed like a fool: “My hubby is coming to pick me up soon. You two, you don’t have a hubby to pick you up, hehehe~”

Xu Zhitang wasn’t as drunk as the other two. At least she could still think. Hearing Cen Wan say that Lu Beixun was coming to pick her up, Xu Zhitang immediately felt that something was wrong.

She dizzily stood up, picked up her bag, and walked out. At the door, she called the bodyguards who were protecting her. Four bodyguards stood at the door of the private room. Xu Zhitang said, “Keep an eye on those two inside. The one who doesn’t have anyone to pick her up, send her home safely.”

Xu Zhitang was about to leave. She took a few steps, then turned back and looked at Shen Jianyu.

Forget it, she’d help. Xu Zhitang told the bodyguards to open another room opposite the private room. She helped Shen Jianyu to the opposite room. Cen Wan was left alone in the original private room.

Xu Zhitang put Shen Jianyu on the sofa and mumbled, “Don’t thank me too much.”

When Cen Wan opened her eyes drowsily, she was the only one left in the private room. She hugged the bottle of alcohol and stood up: “Tang Tang hubby, white lotus…”

She couldn’t see anyone, and no one answered. Cen Wan hugged the bottle of alcohol and went out. As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into a warm embrace. The bottle of alcohol in her arms fell to the carpet in the corridor, spilling a little.

She looked up and saw the man’s face. His brow was furrowed, his jawline was tight, and he seemed angry.

Lu Beixun hooked his arm around her waist, steadying her. The four bodyguards standing nearby left after seeing Lu Beixun. His gaze was truly terrifying.

Cen Wan reached out and pinched Lu Beixun’s face, giggling twice: “You look like my hubby.”

Lu Beixun grabbed her wrist: “Who am I?”

“You are… Lu Beixun…”

“Who is Lu Beixun?” Lu Beixun looked down at her.

Cen Wan leaned against his chest: “My hubby.”

Xu Zhitang opened the door of the private room a crack and looked at the two people outside. Lu Beixun carried Cen Wan horizontally, glanced at the door opposite, and left directly.

Cen Wan hooked her arm around his neck and asked, “Did you see Tang Tang and the white lotus?”

“No.” Lu Beixun’s voice was cold.

“They’re gone.” Cen Wan: “Have someone look for them.”

“You should be more concerned about yourself.”

Lu Beixun put her in the passenger seat of the car and fastened her seatbelt. He went around the front of the car to the driver’s seat, opened the door, and got in. As soon as he got in, the restless little woman unfastened her seatbelt and leaned over.

One hand rested on his left chest: “Lu Beixun, does it hurt you?~”

“It must hurt you. How could it not hurt?” Cen Wan’s voice first choked, then she cried softly.

Lu Beixun was stunned for a few seconds. He reached out and gently wiped away her tears: “It doesn’t hurt.”

“You’re lying.” Cen Wan’s voice grew louder, and her crying grew louder. Her shoulders trembled as she cried: “If you knew… that I killed you, you wouldn’t forgive me.”

“Lu Beixun, what should I do? How can I repay the life I owe you…”

Cen Wan buried her face in her legs, almost breaking down: “I can’t repay it…”

Lu Beixun reached out and touched her head: “I know, I know everything. I’m not angry with you, and I won’t let you repay it.”

“Be good, don’t cry.”

Cen Wan buried her face in her legs for a few seconds before falling asleep. She didn’t know if she heard him. Lu Beixun chuckled helplessly, helped her up, leaned her against the seatback, and fastened her seatbelt.

Lu Beixun took off his jacket and covered her with it.

When they got home, Lu Beixun put her on the bed. She was drowsy and kept asking Lu Beixun to give her a bath. Lu Beixun had no choice but to carry her to the bathroom.

He adjusted the water temperature and filled the bathtub with water. Lu Beixun took off her clothes and put her in.

Cen Wan leaned against the edge of the bathtub. Lu Beixun didn’t leave. He pinched her chin: “You promised to listen to me. You didn’t even keep an eye on yourself and got drunk. Do you think you should be punished?”

Cen Wan mumbled drowsily: “I should… anything that makes hubby angry should be punished.”

“You said it.” Lu Beixun pinched her chin and kissed her fiercely. After the kiss, he bit her lips hard.

Cen Wan winced in pain.

Lu Beixun controlled his strength. It hurt, but it wouldn’t bleed. He didn’t touch her again. After a while, he looked down at her: “Are you done washing?”

Cen Wan was about to fall asleep. She hadn’t moved at all. She was soaking in the water. She looked up: “Why don’t you wash me?”

Lu Beixun sighed. This little woman was so tormenting. He went over and gave her a quick wash. He lifted her out of the bathtub, wrapped her in a bathrobe, and carried her out of the bathroom.

He looked down at the little woman in his arms. She was comfortable, but he was burning with desire: “Little thing, I can’t do anything with you.”

He cleaned her up, coaxed her to sleep, and then Lu Beixun went into the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later, he came out of the bathroom, turned off the bedroom lights, leaving only the warm floor lamp. He sat by the bed, quietly watching her. After a long time, he lifted the covers and lay down beside her. He pulled her into his arms, the sweet scent of her bath gel filling his nostrils.

He murmured softly, “I never expected you to repay anything…”

Cen Wan rubbed against his chest, her soft arms resting on his waist, feeling at ease.
