Chapter 177 “Mom, why is your face so red?”
Lu Qin really didn’t see it, he had just entered the bathroom. As an honest person, he said an honest thing. However, in Shen Muyan’s ears, it meant the opposite.
Lu Qin received a beautiful eye roll, and a fragrant breeze passed by as the bathroom door closed. Lu Qin locked the bathroom door to prevent the two ladies outside from accidentally barging in and seeing his eight-pack abs.
Inside the bathroom, the scent of a small orchid-scented shower gel lingered, fresh and slightly sweet, like a morning garden. He filled the tub with water and got in to shower. This luxury suite also had a massage bathtub.
After the water filled up, Lu Qin comfortably lay in it, his posture relaxed. After showering, Lu Qin came out into the room. The big CEO and the little cutie were already lying in bed, wrapped in an air-conditioned blanket, watching cartoons on a tablet.
When Lu Xiyao saw Lu Qin come out, she happily shouted, “Daddy, time to sleep~!”
The little one was carefree, and it was rare for both her mom and dad to sleep on the same bed, which made her feel very happy. Lu Qin nodded slightly but didn’t make eye contact with Shen Muyan. He grit his teeth and lay down on the bed.
Though there was a little one between them, they could still indirectly feel each other’s body warmth. Shen Muyan’s heart started to race, and the slender, jade-white fingers of one hand clutched the blanket tightly.
Although both of them knew nothing would happen with the little one in between, it was still an unusual feeling to be lying on the same bed. After watching a few minutes of the cartoon, Lu Qin relaxed. He was a gentleman, and even with a stunningly beautiful woman lying next to him, he wouldn’t do anything inappropriate.
He had a clear conscience, focusing on watching “Detective Conan.” The episode was about the legend of the mist dog, which scared the little one so much that she didn’t dare to open her eyes.
But Shen Muyan wasn’t in the mood for the scary cartoon. Her mind was blank, and her heart was in turmoil. This feeling was very strange. After so many years of marriage, she had never experienced such a feeling. She had always focused on her work.
She trusted Lu Qin to take care of the child at home. She used to be all about work, but after the divorce, she realized something was missing in her life without Lu Qin and the little one.
As she sought to fill the void, she gradually discovered the goodness of Lu Qin and the little one. Her work-focused brain gradually got eaten away by the little zombie, and her love-driven brain started to bloom. Now, her heart felt like a peaceful lake disturbed by a stone, sending ripples she couldn’t calm.
Although Shen Muyan knew nothing would happen that night, she couldn’t help but hope that something would, even just a little bit. Maybe they could send the little one to the front desk for the night and return her in the morning. That would leave the luxurious bed to her and the boss…
Her inner thoughts gradually became vivid, and Shen Muyan’s exquisite, cool face flushed.
“Mom, why is your face so red~?”
The little one, sensing something unusual, raised her little head and noticed Shen Muyan’s abnormality.
Lu Qin also looked over. Shen Muyan felt awkward but acted calm on the outside:
“This wolf in this episode is really scary, Mom was frightened.”
Lu Xiyao, with clear eyes, said, “But Mom, that wasn’t a wolf, it was a mist dog, and clever Conan solved the case. The legend of the mist dog is made up.”
“Oh, it wasn’t a wolf, it was a dog! Then I’m not scared anymore.”
Shen Muyan gently swatted the little one’s bottom and closed her eyes. Her sleep was light, and it took a long time for her to fall asleep. But for some reason, perhaps because Lu Qin was lying beside her, she fell asleep quickly that night.
Lu Qin didn’t have to set up a stall, and his biological clock shifted later. The next day, he woke up at 7 AM. He slept really well. Lu Qin opened his eyes slightly and sniffed a faint, pleasant fragrance, like flowers just blooming—fresh and enchanting.
It was the smell of body scent mixed with a bit of shampoo. It smelled wonderful.
A bit intoxicating.
The little one didn’t have this scent.
Lu Qin gently raised his head and saw a soft, black shiny head of hair resting on his chest. What was originally the little one’s spot had been taken over.
Where was the little one?
Lu Qin noticed the little one had moved to the foot of the bed, hugging Shen Muyan’s smooth, delicate calf, her little face rubbing against it. She must have been dreaming of a delicious, fragrant chicken drumstick.
The beautiful, rich woman lay like a lazy little cat in Lu Qin’s embrace, her long, slightly curled lashes fluttering, probably dreaming too. One of her hands was caressing Lu Qin’s abs, a chocolate that had been fondled for a long time.
Lu Qin: “…”
Shen Muyan lay like a piece of smooth, white jade on top of Lu Qin. Her figure was sculpted according to the golden ratio by the goddess Nuwa, and how alluring and seductive it was didn’t need to be said.
Lu Qin, in his prime, found this scene harder to control than an AK47. There were important things to do today, and Lu Qin had to get up.
He pushed against the bed with both hands, trying to get up, but as soon as he raised himself by 45 degrees, the lazy cat climbed back on top.
Lu Qin’s defined abs provided excellent friction, and her delicate hand climbed back up like it was chocolate. Her head rested on Lu Qin’s chin, and her seductive red lips whispered, “Don’t move, I’m still sleepy~!” before lazily continuing to sleep.
“Don’t move?”
Staying still is like being a turtle!
Lu Qin had important things to do today.
This rich woman was testing him like this?
What man could withstand such a test?
Lu Qin raised an eyebrow and, on impulse, smacked her perfectly curved backside. After doing so, he realized he had overreacted. That was a crime!
Amitabha, I’ve sinned.
The rich woman, feeling the odd sensation of pain, slowly opened her beautiful eyes, her slender, curled lashes trembling.
At that moment, Lu Qin had already gently placed the little one’s hand on her delicate backside. It had to be framed as an accident. The case was a bit complicated.
The rich woman woke up and found herself on top of Lu Qin, holding onto his abs, unwilling to let go. Her eyes met his deep, dark gaze for a moment, and her face immediately turned red.
This was definitely not intentional, she had fallen asleep, and her body was no longer under her control. Shen Muyan never imagined that she had rolled onto Lu Qin. But the sensation of his abs felt really good.
The atmosphere became a little awkward. They were both adults, and more importantly, they had once been married, so thinking about it, it wasn’t a big deal. Besides, there was nothing going on. They had to widen their hearts and open their minds. Yeah, everything was for the little one.
Shen Muyan’s temperature gradually cooled, but then, there was a slight fiery feeling. It felt like she had been slapped. Shen Muyan raised her head in confusion, looking at Lu Qin.
Lu Qin’s expression remained normal, but he made a gesture with his mouth, indicating that she should look for herself. Shen Muyan then saw the little hand pressing on the spot.
“Stop moving while sleeping!”
Shen Muyan stretched out her hand and lightly slapped the little one’s bottom, taking her revenge.
