Once in the car, Lu Yinchu looked at her face.
There was an overwhelming sense of heartache that he could not shake off.
âDoes it hurt?â
âNo!â
Now, it really didnât hurt.
After applying the medication, she felt a cooling sensation.
Furthermore, her injury wasnât that serious!
Lu Yinchu reached out to hold her hand.
âFrom now on, Iâll protect you.
Nobody will be able to bully you!â
âIt wasnât really bullying.â Nanxiâs eyes twinkled.
âIâm okay.
I can handle it!â
The slap amounted to payback for Li Weihuan, even though she didnât believe that Ye Yuchen had the right to demand that revenge on her behalf!
Lu Yinchu pursed his lips, holding onto her hand even tighter.
âHavenât you had dinner?â
Nanxi blinked, she hadnât eaten.
In fact, she hadnât had a proper meal all day!
Lu Yinchu gave a faint smile, ordering Mo Yan to drive to a restaurant for her to eat!
On the way, Nanxi remembered something, âCan I borrow your phone?
My battery is dead, and I need to call Susu and Lanlan.
They knew I was meeting Ye Yuchen and theyâre probably worried about me!â
âDonât worry, Iâve already had someone inform them!â After a pause, he said, âTheyâre both worthwhile friends.
Youâre very lucky!â
Nanxi chuckled, âTrue.
Susu and Lanlan are very good to me.
In my heart, theyâre like my sisters.
We have pledged to be sisters forever!â
âYes, thatâs good.
Just like me with Shaojing, Yanming, and Asheng.
We also pledged our friendship.
And look, even after ten years, weâre still together.
The relationship is great!â
Nanxi nodded.
The relationship between them was indeed very good.
However, speaking of Chang Linsheng, Nanxi remembered something and said to Lu Yinchu, âI met your friend, Chang Linsheng, today!â
âHmm.
Donât worry about him!â
ââ¦â One moment he was praising their great relationship, and the next telling her not to mind.
In the restaurant, the food was excellent, all suited to Nanxiâs taste.
Her appetite was quite good as the knot in her heart had undone!
When they finished eating and came out, it was almost nine in the evening!
As they got back in the car, Nanxi suggested, âYou can just drop me off at Susuâs place!â
Her face, slightly embarrassed!
Now that they had confirmed their relationship, it felt strange and awkward.
She couldnât quite explain it.
âNanxi, I just got off the plane and Iâm a bit tired.
I want to go home and sleepâ¦
I really hope, when I open my eyes, you will still be there.
So, stay with me.
Donât go back.â
His voice, alluring, brushed against her eardrum, making her shiver involuntarily.
The memory of the previous heated moments in the police station resting room flashed through her brain!
She had a feeling, if she went with Lu Yinchu tonight, she might not be able to escape!
âLu Yinchu, Iâ¦â
âAre you afraid?â He said, squinting at her.
Nanxi bit her lip.
Of course, she was afraid.
The surge of emotions could be temporary, but the courage she built up probably only got her this far.
It wasnât enough.
Not nearly enough!
Lu Yinchu reached out and hugged her.
âDonât worry.
I wonât touch youâ¦
for now!â
As if to reassure her, he said, âSo, stay and keep me company!â
â¦
Once in the car, Nanxiâs heart was still fluttering.
Even though Lu Yinchu had given his reassurances, she had trust in him!
However, research showed that in certain aspects, men could find it difficult to maintain self-control.
Especially when it came to physiological needs!
But this man was the one she was going to rely on and depend on for the rest of her life!
Just like Liang Qiaoqiao had said, she needed to trust him.
She needed to build that trust.
Otherwise, how would they stride through the coming years hand in hand?
He took her to the apartment in the Shuicheng Residential District.
After getting out of the car, Mo Yan left.
Nanxi followed Lu Yinchu upstairs.
Once inside the apartment and lights were on, Lu Yinchu took off his suit coat.
Nanxi, alarmed, remained still!
Standing there, her eyes fixated on Lu Yinchu, her gaze filled with wariness!
A hand caressed her bare shoulder.
She was dressed differently today, different from her usual self.
But, she was quite attractive.
There was a strong touch of youthfulness about her that also exuded a mysterious sense of softness and allure!
Nanxi bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
Lu Yinchu wrapped his arm around her.
âStop tensing up.
I told you, Iâll keep my promise.
Plus, if we doâ¦
happen to do anything, I will take responsibility.
So, donât be afraid!â
He got up and poured two glasses of water from the kitchen.
Nanxi shook her head when he offered her a glass, âIâm not thirsty!â
Not insisting, he placed the cup on the table and commenced drinking from his own glass, put it down after drinking half of it!
Nanxi instinctively took a step back, scared!
Lu Yinchu approached and took hold of Nanxiâs hand, softly saying, âLetâs go, upstairs!
You must be tired!â
Nanxi pursed her lips.
Her wrist felt extremely delicate in Lu Yinchuâs hand, as if it would slip away at any moment!
Indeed, it had slipped away!
Otherwise, how could he have missed out on eight years?
In the bedroom, Lu Yinchu handed her a set of new womenâs pajamas.
âTake a shower, change into these.
Iâm going to the guest roomâs bathroomâ¦â
Nanxi didnât move!
âDonât worry.
Iâm not going to barge in on you!â
He gently kissed her cheek and left with a smile!
Nanxi did not stop him, thinking that it might be better to allow him to leave first.
Otherwise, she might have difficulty breathing!
She wanted to make a phone call but her phone was out of battery, and she turned to the bed only to find there was no charger.
Panic welled up in her heart.
She decided to let it go for now!
Should she take a bath now?
What should she do after taking a bath?
Nanxi was indecisive for two minutes before resigning herself to enter the bathroom.
She did not dare to take too long of a bath, she was out in less than ten minutes!
The sleepwear was very modest, Lu Yinchu had bought it for her previously, and she hadnât worn it yet!
In fact, at the time, she believed she would not have a chance to wear it!
It was suitable for Nanxi, and it aligned with her comfort zone!
Lu Yinchu hadnât come in.
Nanxi considered whether heâd left this large master bedroom bed to her and moved to another bedroom himself?
She calmed down considerably while thinking about this.
She couldnât describe her feelings towards Lu Yinchuâs gentlemanlike behaviour.
Perhaps, she felt warmed!
