Chapter 19

Good at gauging people, Tang Mengyu instantly recognized that Lu Zhengnan was upset when she mentioned divorce in front of him. His reaction was normal because of his current condition, and he must have felt self-abased to some extent, making him more sensitive to such things.

“I was just kidding about finding my true love! Just pretend you didn’t hear me.”

After that, she forced a chuckle, her expression a bit unnatural.

“Don’t joke about that.”

“Yes, First Master Lu.”

She increasingly found that Lu Zhengnan was emotional—the first moment warm like a spring breeze and the second cruel and tyrannical.

It seemed that Li Xiaoxian was right about not infuriating Lu Zhengnan at her will!

After dinner, Tang Mengyu pushed Lu Zhengnan in the wheelchair and went back to the bedroom. Then she walked straight to the bathroom to run some bathwater.

Even though they were already legally married, she would still be embarrassed to face that man naked.

Encouraging herself for a while, she finally mustered up her courage and went outside the bathroom to call him. She said gently, “The bathwater is ready.”

“Thank you,” Lu Zhengnan replied softly.

Pushing him in the wheelchair next to the bathtub, she was about to help him to undress, but he started to unbutton his top expertly.

She had never expected that it would become a great strip show!

Being naked, the muscles of him were strong, and the golden glow of lamplight shone upon his bare skin, which made his body incredibly seductive.

Tang Mengyu was shocked at the scene in front of her. Her heart was pounding as if thousands of drummers were beating the drums together. She didn't turn around embarrassedly until he was going to take off the only cover left on his body.

When she came to her senses, he had already supported himself with his arms to sit in the bathtub.

“Help me with the towel.”

“Oh, coming.”

While helping him with the bath, the rosy color on her cheeks never faded.

In fact, she couldn’t be blamed for being so shy because she had never seen a naked man, not even in her relationship with Zhou Shaohui.

On the contrary, Lu Zhengnan was unperturbed all this time when she helped him. Occasionally, he initiated a conversation with her without feeling awkward.

After the bath, he chose to read for a while in the study as usual. He rolled the wheelchair and soon disappeared from her sight.

Lying in the large soft bed, Tang Mengyu thought of the humiliating scene back in the bathroom that made her heart race and her face blush. A doubt suddenly came into her mind: people’s impression of Lu Zhengnan was usually sick and thin, but when undressed, he didn't look so emaciated as she had imagined.

Was that “looking slim when getting dressed but being fit when dressing off”?

Due to her limited knowledge of males, she didn’t figure it in bed out for a long time and finally drifted off to sleep.

Later that night.

The room was pitch dark with all the lights turned off.

Bright and clear, the moonlight outside shone into the room. Under the dim light, the door was opened gently. A tall and vigorous figure loomed up and quietly moved into the room. The figure approached the little woman in her large bed with his slender legs step by step…

It was probably the tiredness that drove Tang Mengyu to her bed early that night. She closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In her sleep, she suddenly dreamed of a boulder falling on her chest, pressing against her so heavily that she could hardly breathe.
