Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Kissed

She couldn’t help but glance inside the room.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see Lu Xingzhou chatting amiably with his uncle.

The two seemed to be hitting it off well.

Lu Xingzhou was extremely charming when he talked about work, exuding confidence with every casual gesture.

The bespoke suit he wore accentuated his executive aura.

It was just too bad that such a near-perfect man was matched with an unworthy child bride.

She wondered if, after their divorce, the Lu Family would force Lu Xingzhou to marry Wen Jingya.

Wen Jingya even dared to request the Divine Doctor to treat Lu Xingzhou’s illness, which clearly showed she didn’t value him at all.

If you really loved someone, why would you deceive them?

Although Lu Xingzhou’s illness wasn’t life-threatening, it still affected his daily life and mood.

Could Wen Jingya really bear to fool him and the entire family with a fake Divine Doctor?

For a moment, Jiang Man actually felt a bit sorry for Lu Xingzhou.

Thirty years old, not young anymore, alone was just fine, but he definitely should not let a wicked woman delay the rest of his life.

"Uncle, have you finished talking? I’m hungry."

Jiang Man jumped down from the swing and strode into the villa.

Hu Guanghua glanced at the wall clock and slapped his forehead, "I was so happy chatting with Xingzhou that I completely forgot the time."

"Come, come, let’s eat."

"Xingzhou picked two bottles of wine for you, uncle," Jiang Man thought to herself that it’s the thought that counts, not the cost of the gift.

But when the servant brought out the two bottles of wine, Lu Xingzhou was somewhat embarrassed, "I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare the gifts properly."

He quickly added.

Jiang Man pulled out a chair and sat down, speaking up for him, "The most expensive ones at 711 are these two bottles of wine, definitely worth more than my hundred-something yuan worth of fruit, uncle, you shouldn’t mind."

"Mind? I’m too happy to drink the wine my son-in-law brought!" Hu Guanghua was truly pleased.

During the meal, he specifically shared a whole bottle with Lu Xingzhou.

Hu Guanghua had a good liquor tolerance; his face didn’t change color.

In his early years when he was striving in the city, he often accompanied others for drinks.

But not Lu Xingzhou, born in Rome, others were always eager to drink with him, and he was indifferent.

So with each consuming half a bottle, it didn’t take long before he was dizzy, still talking, but his eyes were blurred and his body swaying.

"Manman, your husband has had too much to drink, take good care of him tonight, and stay here."

Hu Guanghua actually had ulterior motives.

They say the real character shows with drink; he deliberately got Lu Xingzhou drunk to see his conduct when intoxicated.

He was very satisfied with the result; soon Lu Xingzhou lay down on the dining table, sleeping soundly.

"Don’t worry." Jiang Man crossed her arms and smiled at Hu Guanghua.

She was well aware of what her uncle was thinking.

But she could not expose it, only collaborate.

She and Lu Xingzhou were in an agreement marriage; neither the Lu Family nor her own family could know about it—it was their pact.

"Miss, do you need help getting your husband to the room?"

The servant, looking at the tall and sturdy Lu Xingzhou, kindly offered.

Jiang Man waved her hand and lifted one of his arms over her neck.

Although she was not as tall or large as Lu Xingzhou, she was quite strong.

Supporting the intoxicated man, she looked forward and said, "Go make a hangover soup."

"Yes."

Watching his niece and her husband leave, Hu Guanghua smiled contentedly.

The two most important fates for a girl are, one is the family she is born into, and two is the man she marries.

Birth is not something she can choose, but she can choose whom to marry.

He was very satisfied with this son-in-law and felt relieved at last.

Manman had suffered so much over the years; finally, destiny had given her such a good husband.

Jiang Man hadn’t exerted much effort when she supported Lu Xingzhou to the bedroom and tossed him onto the bed.

In consideration of his drunken state, she had planned to give up the bed to him for the night and sleep on the sofa herself.

She removed Lu Xingzhou’s shoes and glanced at the immaculately tailored suit he was wearing.

After a moment of thought, she reached out to undress him.

Upon closer inspection, she found him more and more pleasing to the eye.

His features were refined, unlike many men who had greasy faces and large pores.

Perhaps due to his regular fitness routine, his face barely showed any pores, his skin was smooth, and his complexion was a very healthy shade of wheat.

While removing his suit jacket, Jiang Man felt Lu Xingzhou’s abdominal muscles.

She had seen him after a bath in the old mansion before and knew he was in good shape.

But seeing is one thing, and touching is quite another.

Well, the texture isn’t bad, the muscles quite firm.

Jiang Man nodded in approval and couldn’t help but stroke him a few more times.

She then casually tossed his cumbersome suit jacket onto the bedside table.

Just removing the jacket certainly wasn’t enough, the trousers had to come off too.

When she pulled at the man’s belt, it made a sharp sound.

Lu Xingzhou furrowed his brow, "Noisy."

Jiang Man rolled her eyes and continued unfastening the belt.

Just as she was about to strip off the man’s trousers, suddenly, an arm coiled around her waist.

She was pulled right into his arms, falling directly onto his chest.

She felt his strong heartbeat as her face rested on his chest.

Besides that, she felt something stirring inexplicably.

"Shit!" she couldn’t help but swear, struggling to get out of his embrace.

But Lu Xingzhou’s arm was like lead, impossible to pry off.

Due to the alcohol, his body was burning hot, his skin flushed red.

Jiang Man smelled a strong odor of alcohol mixed with his heavy breathing.

"Lu Xingzhou, let go!"

She pounded on his chest.

However, Lu Xingzhou showed no reaction, his face flushed and sleeping soundly.

"Miss, the sober-up soup..."

At that moment, a servant walked in.

Upon entering, he instinctively stepped back.

Then, with a beaming smile, he said, "Miss, I’ll leave it here on the side table."

The servant quickly placed the sober-up soup down and dashed out as if fleeing.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to close the door.

Jiang Man was extremely embarrassed, angrily using her head to bump Lu Xingzhou’s chin.

Lu Xingzhou was woken by the pain and blinked open his eyes, groggy.

"Manman..."

He murmured in a low voice, his breath hot.

Seeing him awake, Jiang Man quickly said, "Let go quickly, or I’ll hit you!"

"Wife~" To her surprise, Lu Xingzhou suddenly spoke affectionately, his lips curling up into a smile that could charm anyone.

What?

Jiang Man was utterly stunned, her eyes wide, "Lu Xingzhou, Uncle Lu, if you don’t wake up, I’m really going to hit someone..."

Her last words were cut off by a kiss, silently swallowed.

Their lips were hot, another soft pair of lips touching hers, making her feel as if she had swallowed fire.

The man’s breathing became heavier, even ragged and hoarse...
