A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Sweet-Talker Lu Chen

Noticing her closeness to him wasn’t indifferent, the red tint on Fu Xiaoxiao’s earlobes betrayed her unease. Knowing this, the corners of Lu Feng’s mouth slightly lifted, sketching a faintly alluring smile.

”That Li Xiang will never be able to hurt you again.”

”Ah?” Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned. ”It was you.”

Fu Xiaoxiao recalled what Lu Lin said when he returned home – Li Xiang had been beaten badly; she was still wondering who could hold such a grudge against Li Xiang, but upon hearing Lu Feng’s words, she immediately connected the dots.

”I said, I wouldn’t let you be wronged. Those who bully you, I will not let them go.” Lu Feng couldn’t step forward right now, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t do something.

Li Xiang wanted to harm Fu Xiaoxiao, Lu Feng would never give him that chance.

Such scum is a menace just staying around. Who knows who he might harm next?

It’s clean to sever ties, the best.

”When...did you do it?” Fu Xiaoxiao heard Lu Feng’s words, raised her head and met his gaze.

In that moment of eye contact, time seemed to freeze. The whole world seemed to consist of only the two of them, along with the intense gaze that could ignite everything.

”After Wang Lu told me yesterday, I decided to finish him off in the middle of the night.” Lu Feng said seriously.

”Thank you.” Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t expect Lu Feng would go out in the middle of the night to do that for her.

”Just a thank you?” Lu Feng’s eyes deepened, his gaze gradually fell on her lips.

”Then what do you want?” Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, lightly bit her lip, and softly asked.

Lu Feng leaned down and slowly moved closer; Fu Xiaoxiao’s cheeks became slightly red, she retreated half a step, Lu Feng paused, thinking he was abrupt with Fu Xiaoxiao, was about to withdraw, but Fu Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed the corner of Lu Feng’s clothes.

Looking at Fu Xiaoxiao’s lowered eyes not knowing where to look, Lu Feng’s Adam’s apple slid up and down twice unconsciously, his heated breath sprinkled on Fu Xiaoxiao’s face, he moved closer and closer, Fu Xiaoxiao only felt her mind blank and her cheeks hotter and hotter, just about to touch in that second...

”Mrs. Fu, where are you, come and see, I can draw a circle now.” Lu Chen’s laughter came from outside the door, pulling their thoughts back.

”Cough! Xiao Chen is calling me, I... I’ll go out first, um... be careful on the way.” Fu Xiaoxiao pushed Lu Feng away with a flushed face, and escaped from the room.

Lu Feng watched her hurriedly fleeing back, clicked his tongue. Just a little bit more and he could have...

”Tch.”

Fu Xiaoxiao returned to her room, her cheeks burning hot, buried herself under the quilt, and screamed silently.

”This is killing me, killing me, Fu Xiaoxiao, keep it together, don’t fall for him!!” Fu Xiaoxiao patted her own face, reminding herself to stay clear-headed.

Facing this ridiculously handsome face, they were so close just now, close enough to clearly see the fine hairs on his face, Fu Xiaoxiao’s heart palpably pounding.

This is a foul, how can there be someone with such a face, leaning in like that without feeling giddy.

It’s a beauty trap, he used a beauty trap!

Don’t be fooled, don’t be fooled, don’t be fooled!! Important things said three times!

Fu Xiaoxiao kept self-coaching, trying to calm herself down.

Finally calming down, Fu Xiaoxiao heard a light knock at the door.

”I’m leaving... wait for me to come back.” Lu Feng’s deep voice gently came from outside the door, after speaking, there was no more sound.

When Fu Xiaoxiao got up to open the door, Lu Feng’s figure was long gone.

Fu Xiaoxiao returned to her room, lay down on the bed to continue sleeping, but couldn’t fall asleep at all, her mind was full of Lu Feng’s words—wait for me to come back.

”Foul! What he did was foul!” Fu Xiaoxiao buried herself with a pillow.

Early the next morning, Fu Xiaoxiao, with dark circles under her eyes, came out to make breakfast for Lu Lin, Wang Lu came to pick him up for school, saw Fu Xiaoxiao and nodded to her, ”Good morning, sister-in-law.”

”Xiao Lu, morning!” Fu Xiaoxiao yawned, utterly exhausted.

Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao so tired, Wang Lu blinked. ”Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Didn’t sleep well last night?”

”Yes, didn’t sleep well last night, there was an annoying mosquito.” Fu Xiaoxiao replied with a gentle smile.

”Mrs. Fu, I can make herbal bags, when I come home I’ll make you one, it can repel mosquitoes.” Upon hearing Fu Xiaoxiao’s words, Lu Lin, carrying his new school bag, immediately said.

”Okay.” Fu Xiaoxiao rubbed his head.

”Oh, is this the new school bag sister-in-law just made for you? Looks great.” Wang Lu also noticed Lu Lin’s new school bag.

”Yeah.” Lu Lin smiled bashfully and gently touched his new school bag, brushing away unseen dust.

Once Lu Lin went off to school happily, Fu Xiaoxiao returned to her room to catch up on sleep, only to see Lu Chen drowsily walking out of his room.

”Fu...Mom.” Lu Chen wore only one shoe, showing how excited he was last night and slept late. Now he’s still dazed.

Fu Xiaoxiao went up to hold Lu Chen, took him back to her room.

”It’s still early, let’s sleep a bit more.” Fu Xiaoxiao tucked Lu Chen into her bed, Lu Chen was sleepy, feeling warmth, he instinctively burrowed in Fu Xiaoxiao’s arms and fell asleep.

When Lu Chen woke up, realizing he was in Fu Xiaoxiao’s arms, he gazed longingly at her sleeping face, chuckled silently.

Carefully sniffed, Fu Xiaoxiao smelled nice, like mom, an assuring scent.

Fu Xiaoxiao felt Lu Chen staring, opened her eyes helplessly, and as she woke, not wanting to leave, Lu Chen pretended to be asleep, motionless.

Fu Xiaoxiao smiled at the pretending-to-sleep Lu Chen, teased his nose.

”Alright, now that you’re awake, stop pretending.” Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, Lu Chen was caught, he had to open his eyes.

”Hehe, Mrs. Fu, your bed smells really nice.” Lu Chen grinned at Fu Xiaoxiao, happily nestling in her arms.

”Can I sleep with you again later?” Lu Chen’s next words made Fu Xiaoxiao ponder.

Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao’s expression, Lu Chen sadly lowered his head. ”I’m sorry, Mrs. Fu, just pretend I didn’t say it! I can sleep alone...”

”It’s just that in the morning when brother’s not here, I can’t sleep well...”

Listening to Lu Chen, Fu Xiaoxiao felt helpless, wanting to refuse but found it a bit pitiful.

Wanting to agree yet feeling he’s already five years old, should sleep alone.

”Occasionally, okay?” Fu Xiaoxiao thought carefully, then agreed reluctantly. After all, he’s a child, once in a while shouldn’t matter, right?

”Ah! Thank you, Mrs. Fu, you’re the best mom in the world, Chenchen likes you most.” Lu Chen hugged Fu Xiaoxiao happily and laughed.

”Hush hush, always sweet-talking me, who could refuse you with that little mouth?” Fu Xiaoxiao laughed, never had she seen a little guy so good with words – just look at his mouth, in the future, who knows how many girls will fall for him.”
