After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 75: The Comfort of Midnight



Chapter 75

After sending the message, Jiang Kening trembled as she slowly lifted her head, glaring angrily at the man, “You... don't talk nonsense! I don't know you!”

Fei Zhao sneered coldly, “Don't know me? I have the chat records between you two and your previous photos. Which ones do you want to see? Should I show them to you now?”

Jiang Kening turned pale, they came prepared!

Sitting in the corner, Li Zhen stood up.

Her instinct told her that what the middle-aged man said was most likely related to her.

Fei Zhao viciously kicked the man, “Keep talking! Cat got your tongue?”

The man's battered body could no longer withstand Fei Zhao's force. He lunged forward and spat out a mouthful of blood, “I'll say, I'll say...”

The scene was bloody.

Everyone's scalp tingled as they watched.

“That woman...” the middle-aged man pointed at Li Zhen in the corner, his voice hoarse and unclear, “last time when she was taking photos outside, it was Jiang Kening who took me to the scene beforehand to sabotage the tabletop and floor. And the studio light that fell some time ago, it was also me who went in beforehand and cut halfway through the wire.”

“Also...” Fei Zhao casually took out a bracelet from his pants pocket, shook it in front of Jiang Kening, “This is the bracelet that was just found at your home. Do you have anything to say about all these incidents?”

“The star bracelet! This is the one that went missing!” Xiao Cai excitedly ran over and took it in his hand.

Everyone sucked in a breath, turned to look at Jiang Kening, feeling extremely complicated, wavering between "she was actually capable of doing this" and "luckily her target was Li Zhen".

“I knew it! I said she looked inauspicious. Turns out those things were all her doing!” Zhang Xiya said in astonishment, “Li Zhen, I'm sorry for suspecting you just now...”

“Well, now that everything is clear, I should be having smooth sailing from now on!” Li Zhen instantly felt relieved inside.

Her recent streak of bad luck, the troublemaker was caught, so things should go smoothly now!

The general counsel looked expressionless, “Jiang Kening, you have violated company rules. You are hereby dismissed by the company, and will need to pay liquidated damages of approximately 2,183,087 yuan to the company within three days as per your contract.”

Right after the general counsel finished speaking, several policemen walked in. “Who is Jiang Kening?”

Everyone was taken aback, and unanimously pointed to Jiang Kening, who was completely dumbfounded.

With a "click", she was handcuffed.

“You are suspected of deliberately injuring company employees, theft of company property, and damage to company property. Macro Sea Group has filed a lawsuit against you. Please cooperate with us and come back to the police station for investigation.”

The cold handcuffs brought Jiang Kening back to her senses. “No, no, I won't go to the police station!”

She had only used some small tricks to pursue her beloved man, why did it escalate to this extent.

“Sis, I have to wait for my sister!” Jiang Kening wailed as she was taken away.

The middle-aged man was also taken away with her.

With the matter settled, Wang Peng glared at Ren Zongshun, huffed and left with the general counsel, Lu Yanming and the others.

Ren Zongshun nearly cried. So all this was Jiang Kening's doing, causing him to be reprimanded by President Wang several times.

Ren Zongshun looked embarrassed, “Li Zhen, I’m sorry for suspecting you just now...”

“It’s fine, Manager Ren. Now that everything is clear, we’ll head back first.” Li Zhen gave Zhang Xiya a look and the two of them left the lounge.

Everyone quietly exited the mall, feeling very embarrassed when looking at Li Zhen. Just now they had unanimously accused Li Zhen, only to be slapped in the face instantly.

But the moment they stepped out of the mall, the originally quiet crowd became noisy again.

Because Lu Yanming was at the roadside.

The jet black Maybach flashed its luxurious headlights. Lu Yanming stood tall and straight.

In the summer night breeze, he looked fresh and refined, graceful in the wind.

His mellow light eyes looked towards everyone, as if searching for someone.

With one sweep of his gaze, it was like a fox's swishing tail, making everyone's heart quiver along.

“What a hunk and car, this picture is perfect.”

“Tsk tsk, Lu could make a living with his looks, yet he succeeded with his abilities!”

“I wish I could exchange 10 pounds of my weight for Lu to pamper me tenderly for one night!”

“Why hasn't Lu left yet? Car trouble?”

Amidst everyone's chattering, Lu Yanming’s low voice carried over in the night breeze.

“Li Zhen.”

The air instantly froze.

Everyone looked at Li Zhen in shock, why would Lu call her!

Li Zhen sighed, and kept walking without stopping.

Seeing Lu Yanming by the roadside, her instincts were on high alert. And he actually called out to her blatantly in front of everyone.

Knowing what Li Zhen was thinking, Zhang Xiya said helplessly, “Li Zhen, you might as well get on Lu's car brazenly, that would seem more... normal.”

Waiting is one thing, avoiding is another. Only adds to the ambiguity.

“Li Zhen.” Lu Yanming was not in a hurry, his voice still low and attractive.

Murmurs of surprise continued intermittently.

“Lu is waiting for Li Zhen?”

“What’s their relationship?”

“I hope it’s not what I’m imagining, or I’ll be green with envy.”

Li Zhen sighed again and turned back towards the Maybach, resigning herself to getting on the car.

Everyone's eyes popped wide open.

Lu Yanming nodded politely at everyone with graceful manners, “Everyone go home early to rest, you have all worked hard today.”

“Yes, Lu.”

“Mr. Lu, drive slowly.”

“Goodbye, Mr. Lu.”

Everyone respectfully waved Lu Yanming goodbye, watching as he got into the driver's seat and drove off with Li Zhen.

Not wanting people to speculate, Zhang Xiya hurried back and exclaimed loudly, “Our company is so humane, knowing the employee was wronged and the boss even took time to provide comfort.”

Someone weakly asked, “Comfort at midnight? How exciting is that?”

Another chimed in, “I also want Lu's midnight comfort.”

Zhang Xiya: “Ahem... just sending her back, don't think indecent thoughts, how vulgar!”

Fei Zhao went with them to the police station. So the car Lu Yanming drove was Fei Zhao’s.

In the car, Li Zhen's slender brows knitted slightly, complaining, “Mr. Lu, careless talk breeds trouble.”

God knows what those people would gossip about!

“Do you know how hard it is to get a taxi after midnight?” Lu Yanming glanced at her.

Come to think of it, it really would be difficult to get a taxi so late at night.

Luckily Lu Yanming didn't say much just now, the others probably thought the boss was just sending her home, so it was still alright.

Lu Yanming’s long fingers lightly tapped the steering wheel. He lazily said, “Right, I’m taking you out tomorrow afternoon.”

“What’s the occasion, Mr. Lu?” Li Zhen asked.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

“Alright.”

Back home, Li Zhen quickly washed up downstairs before lying down on the sofa.

This sofa was so comfortable!

In less than ten minutes, Li Zhen fell asleep.

Upstairs in the master bedroom, Lu Yanming finished showering and came out of the bathroom. The bedroom was empty.

Why hasn't she come up yet?

He went downstairs, the living room was dark with only specks of moonlight. In the dim moonlight, Li Zhen was lying relaxed on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket.

Kneeling by the sofa on one knee, Lu Yanming traced her crescent eyebrows, perky nose, and alluring lips, mimicking Li Zhen's actions earlier today.

His Zhen Zhen said he was good-looking today.

No, he was not good-looking.

His Zhen Zhen was the best looking in the world.

Sensing the unbearable tingling, Li Zhen mumbled and tossed about.

“Zhen Zhen, come upstairs to sleep.” Lu Yanming whispered softly, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses showing emotions rarely seen in the day - turbulent like the sea, deep and intimidating, yet one was helplessly drawn to sink within.

He scooped up Li Zhen's legs and waist, gently picking her up horizontally, and steadily went upstairs step by step.

As if the one in his arms was precious treasure that could not withstand the slightest worldly turbulence.
