Chapter 461: Chapter 461

Song Qiao came back just around lunchtime. As soon as she got off the car, she saw a man and a woman walking towards her.

It was none other than Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing.

Her footsteps halted involuntarily, and as the pair drew closer, she felt a surreal realization that she seemed to be gradually drifting away from this man’s world.

It was undeniable that Zuo Yuqing was beautiful. Her features were perfectly arranged, and coupled with her charisma, sometimes it was hard to take one’s eyes off her.

Now, with Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing standing together, they undoubtedly formed a picturesque couple, flawless from every angle, as if they were destined for each other.

Zuo Yuqing had already changed out of her filming costume and removed her makeup, leaving only a light touch on her face. Her long hair cascaded freely, giving off a sleek appearance. Instead of a dress, she wore a watermelon-red blouse paired with black wide-legged capris and high heels. She carried a small white English-style backpack, her entire look exuding youthful charm.

Song Qiao didn’t dress up specially when she left the house today; she wore casual work attire, and her hair was tied up, but she wore no makeup because she wasn’t sure if she was really pregnant and therefore didn’t dare to apply any.

Seeing how pure and lovely Zuo Yuqing looked, she couldn’t help but feel a bit overshadowed.

"Sister Song," Li Kai came by at this moment, carrying lunch snacks and drinks that she bought for Song Xi, and upon seeing the man and woman approaching, he was momentarily stunned, then subconsciously glanced at Song Qiao and whispered, "Sister Song... are you... are you okay?"

Song Qiao snapped back to reality, looked sideways at Li Kai next to her, cracking a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, with a somewhat hoarse voice, "I’m fine, let’s go. Xi must be hungry by now."

Li Kai hesitated but then nodded.

Song Qiao lifted her foot, intending to take a detour to avoid the two people ahead, but just as she stepped forward, it seemed as if Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing sensed something, and their gazes immediately landed on her.

Upon seeing her, Zuo Yuqing was first taken aback, then her face showed a gentle smile as she said, "Song Qiao, we were just about to go out for lunch. Would you like to join us? After all, you are Jingchen’s wife..."

Song Qiao looked at Zuo Yuqing, trying to read something from her face but could discern nothing, then she forced a smile and said directly, "No, I have an appointment at noon, so I won’t disturb the two of you."

Saying so, she turned her head to Li Kai and said, "Let’s go, let’s first take the things to Xi."

Li Kai nodded and headed towards the film crew.

Song Qiao wasn’t wearing heels, but flat sandals instead. As she passed by Lu Jingchen, she looked straight ahead, yet as they brushed past each other, her hand was suddenly grasped by the man, and she stopped in her tracks.

She turned her head, blinked, and looked at the man before her, watching him for several seconds, seemingly puzzled, "Is there something you need?"

Lu Jingchen turned his head to look at her, his deep eyes reflecting her figure. His Adam’s apple bobbed before he finally spoke, "Song Qiao, I’m really curious, do you have a heart at all?"

Song Qiao was taken aback, beginning to feel stiff, staring at the handsome face before her, incomprehension clear in her tone, "I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean."

The color in Lu Jingchen’s eyes grew heavier, and the hand gripping her arm couldn’t help but tighten a bit, his voice seemed repressed, "You don’t understand? Song Qiao, you’re so smart, how could you not understand what I’m saying? Are you pretending to be dumb time after time, or are you really just dumb?"

Song Qiao pursed her lips, looking at the man in front of her, quiet for a while, not knowing what to say.

The man let out a low chuckle, not letting go of her hand, and turned his head to look at Zuo Yuqing beside him, saying lightly, "I’m sorry for today, I’ll treat you to a meal another time."

Zuo Yuqing, watching the couple, didn’t seem to mind, shrugging as she said, "Actually, I already expected it to end . It’s just as well, I’ve already called my agent to pick me up. If you’re busy, go ahead with your matters."

Lu Jingchen made a sound of acknowledgment. His large hand still clutched onto Song Qiao’s arm as he pulled her towards the parking lot without a word.

Song Qiao had not yet reacted when she was suddenly pulled forward, stumbling a few steps and almost falling. Once she realized what was happening, she instinctively blurted out, "Lu Jingchen, what are you doing? Let me go..."

Yet the man acted as if he didn’t hear a thing, still dragging her along with a grim and somewhat terrifying expression on his face, his thin lips tightly pursed, his jaw clenched so hard that it was clearly visible that he was not in a good mood at this moment.

When Lu Jingchen arrived, the parking lot was almost completely full, so his car was parked on the outskirts of the parking lot. It would take several minutes to walk out.

The man took large strides, and Song Qiao was quite petite, so it was almost like for every step he took, she had to take two. Thus, all the way she was stumbling and practically had to run to keep up with him.

Li Kai walked a few steps before realizing that Song Qiao had not caught up. Turning back, he saw that their Sister Song had already been dragged away by the CEO of the CK Corporation, and judging by the expression on Song Qiao’s face and her reaction, it was clear that she was being coerced.

Suddenly filled with shock, he promptly dropped what he was holding, quickened his pace, and put himself in front of the two, demanding, "You... where are you taking our Sister Song? Let go of her at once!"

Zuo Yuqing was still standing there and hadn’t left. Seeing Li Kai rushing up to block Lu Jingchen’s path, her mouth gaped open in astonishment, admiring his courage. How dared he block Lu Jingchen’s way?

Could it be that he is tired of living, or doesn’t want to live anymore?

Everyone knew Lu Jingchen’s identity, as well as his temper in normal times. Sometimes this man could nonchalantly kill someone, and it wouldn’t be a strange occurrence. Even the police station didn’t dare to bother him.

Now it was clear that Lu Jingchen was not in a good mood... No, it was actually very bad. If Lu Jingchen were to kill someone in a fit of rage just because they blocked his way, it wouldn’t be surprising...

Zuo Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then still walked towards them, intending to pull the fearless man away, but after a few steps, she suddenly stopped and did not continue forward.

Lu Jingchen’s face was extremely somber, his gaze indifferently falling on the man who had blocked their way, as his thin lips slightly parted to spit out a word with icy detachment, "Scram!" For more chapters visıt 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Perhaps it was the daunting aura emanating from Lu Jingchen that made Li Kai instantly regret his impulsiveness, but seeing Sister Song’s uncomfortable and seemingly pained expression as she gritted her teeth, he gathered his courage, stood his ground, and objected, "No, let go of Sister Song first, then I’ll move. Can’t you see that Sister Song doesn’t want to go with you?"

After a pause, Li Kai added confidently, "If you want to take Sister Song away, you’ll have to step over my dead body..."

Assistant Xue, who had been sitting in the car waiting, noticed the commotion and had already gotten out of the car and approached, just in time to hear Li Kai’s declaration.

Assistant Xue, "..." Kid, have you been watching too many TV dramas?

Lu Jingchen looked at the man in front of him, let out a cold laugh, and was about to speak when Song Xi behind him had already straightened up and addressed Li Kai, "Li Kai, you go back first, I’m okay here."

Li Kai looked at Song Xi, his worry evident, "Sister Song, he... you... I’m not at ease. If Miss Song Xi asks later where you are, how am I supposed to answer her?"

"Just tell her where I’ve gone."

Li Kai pondered for a moment, looking at Lu Jingchen, and inadvertently met the man’s gaze, which was already tinged with a hint of killing intent. Suddenly he faltered, hesitated, and finally made way.

Assistant Xue stood there, couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, thinking that if the foolish man hadn’t moved aside, no one would have been able to save him later.

This time, Lu Jingchen did not continue to drag Song Xi away, but suddenly bent down and swept her up into a princess carry, then strode toward the black Maybach not far away.

The unexpected princess carry frightened Song Xi so much she almost let out a sharp scream. Instinctively, she clutched at the man’s shirt, and as she came back to her senses, her anger surged forth, "Lu Jingchen what on earth are you trying to do?"

The man continued to purse his lips without speaking, his face so dark that it could almost drip water. When they reached the black Maybach, he tossed her into the back seat, followed by climbing in himself, and then with a somber face, he ordered the Assistant Xue who had followed into the car, "Drive back to the villa."

Assistant Xue immediately responded and started the car.

However, Song Xi’s complexion changed, and she swiftly reached out to open the car door, intending to get out.

But the man, as if he had anticipated her action, quickly grabbed her arm and with a firm pull drew her into his embrace. His other hand clamped onto the back of her head, restraining her movement as his handsome face leaned in close, and his thin lips suddenly sealed her crimson ones.
