CHAPTER 156: CHAPTER 148 BROTHER, TAKE HER AWAY IF YOU LOVE HER

The black Aston halted downstairs. Lu Jinxi stepped out of the car, his black attire blending into the night. He handed his keys to a subordinate to park the car and went straight upstairs.

To get to his room, he had to pass by the balcony where Lu Qianwen and her friends were gathered. Hearing the noise from that direction, he turned his head for a glance but showed no expression.

Lu Qianwen waved at him, "Brother, you’re back?"

Lu Jinxi didn’t respond or look again. Lu Qianwen often brought friends home, it was nothing unusual.

Just then, Lu Qianwen called after him, "Brother, I have a big gift for you, in your room."

Lu Jinxi’s steps paused momentarily, but he didn’t ask. He continued walking towards his room...

From the balcony, a woman said, "Wenwen, isn’t your brother too good for that woman?"

"But if we send her to another man, my brother will definitely turn his back on me, that’d be the end of our relationship."

"I really can’t understand why your brother likes her so much."

Lu Qianwen raised her delicate eyebrows, "No matter, as long as she doesn’t cling to Yan Chen."

...

Lu Jinxi walked along the corridor, reached his room, lifted his hand to twist the door lock, and pushed the door open.

It was pitch-dark inside, but he heard rustling sounds.

Frowning slightly, he turned on the room lights and immediately saw a restless woman lying on his bed.

He took two steps forward, and the woman’s face appeared in front of him, cheeks flushed with fever, seemingly delirious. She was tugging at her clothes, with a couple of buttons already popped open, her exposed skin even more [tempting].

Lu Jinxi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, then he closed the door and walked to the bed, "Miaomiao?"

The woman didn’t respond, just furrowed her brows, tugging at her clothes and making faint sounds.

Seeing her in distress, his heart tightened as well.

This was Lu Qianwen’s gift?

He sat on the bed and touched her face, it was burning hot, her temples and forehead covered in sweat, her hair messily stuck to her face. Yet, this disheveled look was deadly attractive to a man.

Especially since she was the woman he liked.

As he was about to withdraw his hand, her soft little hand grabbed his, rubbing her face against it like a kitten.

Lu Jinxi knew she wasn’t conscious, he had to control himself and stay rational.

Otherwise, even if he had her body now, he would never truly have her, and he couldn’t bear to hurt her again. He already owed her too much.

"Miaomiao..."

She couldn’t hear him, her eyes unfocused, barely whimpering, "Brother Yan Chen... I feel awful..."

Lu Jinxi gripped her hand tighter, his mind chaotic, with the last shred of reason telling him he shouldn’t hurt her anymore, she might really leave him forever.

Her hands had already left red marks on her neck, he hurriedly lifted her from the bed and strode towards the door.

After being apart for so many years, this was the first time he held her, she felt so frail and light.

She squirmed in his arms, whimpering in discomfort, her small hands restlessly touching him.

Lu Jinxi quickened his pace downstairs, fearing his sanity might collapse with each passing moment.

Lu Qianwen, waiting on the balcony for good news, saw a figure flash by, her expression changed immediately. The other women noticed too and exclaimed, "Goodness! What’s wrong with your brother?"

Not long after, Lu Jinxi’s voice came from downstairs, "Prepare the car, to the hospital."

Everyone leaned over the balcony and watched as Lu Jinxi carried Gu Qimiao. In no time, the driver pulled up and they both got into the car, speeding away.

Moments later, the courtyard fell silent again. Lu Qianwen’s face turned grim. She never expected her brother wouldn’t take advantage! Didn’t he always like her?!

...

During a break from socializing, Shen Yanchen called Gu Qimiao twice, but no one answered. Perhaps because he met Lu Qianwen today, he couldn’t shake off his uneasy feeling. He postponed the rest of his engagements to the next day.

Having had some drinks, he asked He Ye to drive him to the hospital.

"Brother Chen, have you drunk too much again and your stomachache flared up? Why the rush to the hospital?"

Shen Yanchen didn’t answer, just kept dialing the number on his phone. It connected, but no one answered.
