Love After Marriage - Chapter 13

Chapter 13 There Is No Such Thing As a Free Dinner
Tang Luoxin listened to the mockery and curses coming from all directions, turned around in a sorry state and fled in a hurry.

But because her body was too weak, she accidentally tripped her foot when she went out. Hearing the malicious laughter coming from behind, she helplessly waited for her miserable fall to the ground.

Suddenly, her laughter came to an abrupt halt. What welcomed her was not her intimate contact with the earth, but a refreshing embrace.

Her head smashed straight into the man’s chest, knocking herself into a mess. The tip of her nose smelled a familiar cold fragrance.

The man’s clear and melodious voice rang out above her head, echoing throughout the hall on the first floor.

“Baby, even if you miss me, you don’t have to be so anxious to throw yourself at me, do you?”

Tang Luo’s tearful eyes widened and her body stiffened like a stone. She didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.

This is…

“Mr. Lu!”

“President Lu!”

A series of shocked voices in the hall prompted the identity of this man. Surprise, panic, helplessness and other emotions appeared on their faces at the same time.

Panic about his power.

He was shocked by his intimacy towards Tang Luo Xin.

He was also panicking about his attitude towards Tang Luoxin.

The moment the Min Group father and son, who were originally enjoying themselves leisurely upstairs, saw Lu Jingnian’s appearance, their leisurely expressions immediately changed.

They did not want to run downstairs, and they no longer had the recklessness and arrogance they had just experienced.

‘”Mr. Lu” Tang Luoxin fell into Lu Jingnian’s arms and stammered.

Lu Jingnian hugged her waist and let her lean against his embrace. Her expression was cold, but her tone was unprecedentedly gentle.

“I’m here.”

These two words inexplicably calmed Tang Luoxin’s heart. She struggled slightly.

“Let me go, okay?”

“Be good, don’t move.” Lu Jingnian whispered in her ear. Her posture was ambiguous and intimate. Her breathing was like a warm breeze that brushed past her ears.

Tang Luoxin was extremely embarrassed. She lowered her long eyelashes and didn’t dare to look at him. She only heard him continue.

“Watch carefully.”

He raised his head and swept his cold and sharp gaze across everyone in the hall. The faces of the people who had shouted the most before paused for a while.

Those people had a fear of being stared at by a ferocious beast and felt that it was going to be terrible.

Their premonitions proved to be not groundless.

Lu Jingnian’s lips held a cold smile as he opened and closed his lips and spat out a complete sentence.

“What did you just say? Tell her to scram? Why don’t you demonstrate it first?”

The few people who made Tang Luo Xin roll looked at each other, and before they could speak, they saw Lu Jingnian snap his fingers.

Johnny, who was standing not far behind him, immediately walked over with a dozen men in black suits.

“Since you are unwilling to demonstrate, let them teach you what it means to scram.”

Johnny and the others headed straight for their target. Their muscular bodies were wrapped in killing intent, and their black eyes were cold and frightening.

A coward screamed in fright, “I’ll scram! Scram!”

Next, under the witness of hundreds of pairs of eyes, everyone saw how he rolled his body out of the hall in a sorry state!

Lu Jingnian looked coldly at the ugly crowd. The corners of his lips curved into a cold and bloodthirsty arc. A cold smile appeared on his well-defined face. A group of things that were soft in front of him were afraid of being hard.

Tang Luoxin, who was in his arms, looked at everyone rolling on the ground in panic. If this continued, Uncle Min would definitely blame her.

Lu Jingnian felt the emotions of the woman in his arms. He stretched out his slender and well-knit hand and patted the woman’s thin shoulder. His hoarse voice carried a trace of gentleness, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”

His voice seemed to have magic power, and Tang Luo’s panicked heart slowly calmed down.

Upstairs, when Min Nan saw Lu Jingnian’s protection of Tang Luoxin, his heart couldn’t help but reveal a trace of fear and panic. If Lu Jingnian investigated his attitude towards Tang Luoxin just now, it would be miserable.

Thinking of Lu Jingnian’s cold-blooded and unique gaze in the business world, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

Min Nan’s legs gradually began to soften and his face became paler and paler. Seeing that something was wrong with his father, Min Hao hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

“No… I’m fine.” Min Nan said incoherently.

“Dad, did you have a stomach problem? Let’s see if your face is a little pale.” Min Hao reached out to touch Min Nan’s frowned forehead and asked with concern.

“Nothing.” Seeing Lu Jingnian hugging Tang Luoxin’s back, Min Nan’s nervous heart slowly calmed down.

Everyone has already gone far, so there shouldn’t be anything wrong, right?

Tang Luoxin couldn’t believe what had just happened. It wasn’t until she got in the car that she completely woke up.

She stretched out her right hand and forcefully twisted her right leg. Only then did she know that everything that had just happened was true.

Tang Luo used the corner of her eyes to glance at the handsome man beside her. Although he was currently closing his eyes, Tang Luo knew how sharp his eyes were.

She did not understand why the man beside her would appear here, nor did she understand why he would always appear when she was in a sorry state.

After experiencing so much, she was no longer the little girl who didn’t know anything.

There was no such thing as a free dinner. She knew what Lu Jingnian wanted from her.

Unfortunately, she could agree to anything, but this was the only thing she couldn’t agree to.
