Nian Junting went back into his room angrily.
He was acting like he had just swallowed a fly. Since he couldn’t lash out at Luosang now that she was pregnant, he vented his frustrations on Lu Kang. “You watched her well, didn’t you? You let someone else kiss her lips. If I were any later, would they have been French kissing?”
Although he directed his speech to Lu Kang, Luosang felt as if he were scolding her directly. “I told you, he pounced on me suddenly. I wasn’t expecting it. I was resisting him when I had the time to react.”
Nian Junting grunted. “Anyway, you shouldn’t have spent time alone with him. Lu Kang, why did you walk away? Didn’t I tell you that you mustn’t leave her alone at any time?”
Luosang said with frustration, “I told him to walk away. Yi Jingxi was going to tell me about his feud with my family.”
“How many times are you going to fall for this trick?” Nian Junting looked even grumpier now. “If he was going to tell you, he wouldn’t have waited till now.”
“I was checking, just in case.” Luosang lowered her head and pouted. “I thought that Lu Kang was close by, anyway. When he started blabbering about other things, I was going to ignore him and…”
“You are hopelessly stupid. I didn’t know that about you.” Luosang glared at him before he could finish his sentence.
“I’m a fool now that I am pregnant. Do you have a problem with that? Haven’t you heard that a pregnant woman will stay silly for three years?” Luosang asked indignantly. “I was bitten by a dog. I’m even more uncomfortable than you are.”
Nian Junting felt better, hearing her compare Yi Jingxi to a dog. He shouldn’t scold his woman, so he turned to Lu Kang. “She is silly because she is pregnant. It’s a good excuse. You didn’t do your job properly. How could you listen to a foolish woman? Do you realize what you have done?”
Lu Kang said nothing. He was being unreasonable.
Luosang looked at him sympathetically.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Nian. It’s all my fault.” Lu Kang had no choice but to take the fall for this incident.
“I’m deducting half a month of your salary. Go back and reflect on it. Leave,” Nian Junting ordered him coldly.
Luosang opened her mouth to plead for Lu Kang, but Nian Junting turned to look at her angrily, and she had no choice but to swallow her words.
After Lu Kang left, she went forward and tugged on his sleeves coyly. “I’m going to brush my teeth. Don’t be mad anymore.”
“What’s the use of that? If it works, why is he so smitten with your luscious lips?” Nian Junting was pissed off, he reached forward to rub her lips forcefully. “Only I can taste the goodness of your luscious lips.”
“It hurts…” Luosang’s lips were red and raw now. She frowned and looked hurt. Nian Junting couldn’t bear to continue.
But he was still angry. “Go brush your teeth, shower, and wash your hair too. You have to finish a tube of toothpaste.”
“Why must I shower?” Luosang couldn’t help but ask.
“Because he hugged you and touched your hand.” Nian Junting rested his palm on his forehead and waved her along. “Go. Go now. I can’t even bear to think about it. My headache is coming back at the thought of what happened.”
Luosang was speechless for a moment. “Since when do you have headaches?”
“When I’m running a fever,” Nian Junting said, looking at her coldly, “do you have a problem with that?”
“…No.” Luosang quickly turned to grab her clothes.
Since she was scrubbing herself clean, she took a long time in the bathroom. After fifty minutes, she had dried her hair, and she emerged from the bathroom in a baby blue sleeping gown.
