Chapter 52: Chapter 52: No Reason to Share a Room

Who are you talking about?

Of course, if anyone should talk, it would be them.

But, such words would definitely never be spoken out loud, for they’d just be asking for trouble.

In a low voice, he murmured,

"From the start to the end, there’s only been one girl for me. Who do you think it is, hmm?"

Hiss~

Lu Jing couldn’t help but shiver a little. Wasn’t this a bit too cheesy?

After taking a few deep breaths, he steadied his voice and said,

"Jiang Ye, I’ve seen what I needed to see, and you’ve said almost everything you should. Can I go now?"

If he didn’t leave now, he would be in danger.

Although there were faint signs of thawing and softening in the depths of Lu Jing’s heart, it didn’t mean he could just let bygones be bygones.

Some things, some wounds, are impossible to fully heal in a lifetime.

As expected, the man’s face darkened upon hearing the woman still wanted to leave,

"Want to leave? Do you think you can?"

Why couldn’t he leave?

Lu Jing raised his head, slightly pushing away the man in front of him, before slowly saying,

"Jiang Ye, we have no reason to be in the same room."

What kind of relationship allows for sharing a room?

Certainly not with an ex from six years ago.

The message was clear, impossible to misunderstand.

But the man laughed,

"What are you thinking about? You’ll sleep in one room, and I’ll be dealing with work in the study tonight."

Actually, this apartment really isn’t just one room—it’s a 200 square meter luxury flat, okay?

Besides the master bedroom, there’s also a secondary bedroom and a small guest room.

However, neither of the two rooms is furnished with a bed, though everything else is quite complete.

Ah, the couch is quite large.

But, would a certain someone really sleep on the couch?

A question that one could answer with their toes.

At this moment, Lu Jing silently let out a big sigh of relief, feeling really embarrassed!

Knowing the woman was nervous, and probably overthinking it, Jiang Ye spoke up again,

"It’s late, and you’ve had some wine. Get some rest.

You’re familiar with this place, so I guess there’s no need for me to give you a tour, right?

Of course, if you need it, I’d be honored."

"No need!"

She immediately refused.

The man could only clench his jaw,

"Fine, then off you go."

Lu Jing took a long, hard look at the man before her, then stood up from the sofa, and quickly ran off.

Watching this scene, only Jiang himself knew how frustrated he felt inside.

...

Inside the room, after Lu Jing entered, she casually closed the door and, not feeling reassured, locked it from the inside.

Leaning against the door, she took deep breaths, trying to calm the turmoil within.

After collecting herself, she began to observe everything in the room.

Like the living room outside, nothing had changed.

But in fact, many things have an expiration date that isn’t that long, often needing to be replaced every few months.

One could imagine the effort a certain person had put into this place over the years.

Even the skincare, wash amenities, and bath products were all what Lu Jing used six years ago.

And in the wardrobe, the clothes and dresses were all well-preserved.

For a moment, Lu Jing was truly stupefied.

It was as though she had returned to the past.

...

Next door, in the study.

After Jiang Ye entered, he turned on the laptop on the desk.

Soon, the image of the main bedroom appeared on the computer screen.

Obviously, the surveillance was installed later on.

Mainly because this place was basically uninhabited, so he had installed cameras in each room.

But Lu Jing didn’t know.

She was even less aware that her every move was under someone’s watchful eye.

Thankfully, Jiang Ye didn’t have the habit of voyeurism. After glancing at the surveillance for a few moments, he turned it off and started to busy himself with work.

This busyness lasted for almost two hours before he took a break.

At this moment, next door, Lu Jing still hadn’t fallen asleep, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

How could she possibly sleep?

This bed once...
