After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 2227: Chapter 2231: You Get 10 Points

In the corridor, the shadows flickered, and a person walked out slowly.

”Who?!” Luo Ke turned around abruptly, aiming his gun at the newcomer. With the light from the lighter, he recognized Leng Zimo disguised as a chef, and only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief. ”Go back to your room.”

Leng Zimo complied immediately and retreated to his room.

He deliberately showed up to clear himself of suspicion.

Who would intentionally show up after doing something bad?!

Even if Luo Ke couldn’t find the cause later, he wouldn’t suspect him.

One of the men lit a decorative candelabra, and the living room gradually brightened.

Luo Ke, holding a gun, walked to the window and watched his men patrol with flashlights, his face full of vigilance.

At this time, it was indeed an unusual period. As someone who was always suspicious and cautious, he naturally wouldn’t let his guard down.

...

Second floor, guest room.

Xu Xia spat out the mouthful of denture cleanser, ”Why did the power go out?”

”Who knows.” Leng Zirui took out his phone to illuminate, picked her up horizontally, and carried her back to the bedroom, placing her on the pillow. ”You... How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?”

”You have the nerve to ask! The juice I was drinking got all messed up by you!” Xu Xia complained in the darkness.

Leng Zirui didn’t defend himself but took advantage of the phone’s light to hand her a cup of milk. ”Have some hot milk.”

Xu Xia took the cup, had a sip, the milk was still warm—just the right temperature—smoothly gliding down her throat, instantly soothing the slight discomfort.

As the milk entered her body, she felt a warm sensation rise throughout.

Watching her take several sips, Leng Zirui asked with concern once more.

”Feeling better?”

”Much better, drinking hot milk is really soothing.”

Xu Xia let out a comfortable sigh, lifted her face from the cup to look at him. The phone’s light had faded, and the room was dark but not completely.

The weather was good, and the curtains weren’t pulled tight. Moonlight poured in from outside, landing right on them.

In front of her, Leng Zirui was bathed entirely in moonlight, the lines of his profile looking more beautiful.

Why does her husband look so handsome tonight?!

”Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think I’m handsome?”

Feeling her gaze, Leng Zirui teasingly asked.

Xu Xia leaned towards him, ”Hmm... You are very handsome...”

Leng Zirui chuckled softly. ”Compared to your boyfriend, who’s more handsome, me or him?”

This guy, still pretending?!

Xu Xia laughed internally. ”Of course, my husband is the handsomest; you’re far behind.”

Leng Zirui laughed softly without a word.

He certainly wouldn’t be jealous of himself.

Xu Xia had already put the cup aside and leaned closer to him. ”ROY, tell me, who’s prettier, me or Qing Qing?”

Leng Zirui laughed lightly. ”As for Lei Qingqing, I’d give her 80 points.”

”And me?” Xu Xia pressed.

”You... 10 points,” Leng Zirui replied.

”Why?” Xu Xia’s anger flared upon hearing, ”Why is she 80 and I’m 10?”

Seeing her pout unhappily, Leng Zirui lifted his hand, gently brushing her nose, dotingly saying, ”Because her full score is 100, and yours is 10.”

His fingertip glided across her skin, a gentle touch, yet it sparked a wildfire. Xu Xia raised her face to look at him, her breath quickened, cheeks flushed, and a strong feeling of excitement was instantly ignited.

Good afternoon
