Chapter 152 - Awakening of Consciousness (9) (1/2)

Jin Xiangdong’s lips circled up. “You’ve done a good job explaining. However, boudoir pleasures are private. Next time you see us like this, remember to excuse yourself!”

Ake nodded. “Duly noted!”

“Otherwise, Professor Lu will blush from shyness.” Jin Xiangdong joked.

Ake nodded in a hurry. “Understood. Next time, I will excuse myself!”

Because of those words, Lu Jia’er turned rosier and rosier. She gave Jin Xiangdong’s arm another pinch.

Though she did not put much strength into it, Jin Xiangdong acted in an exaggerated way. His handsome eyebrows were knitted together.

Lu Jia’er was puzzled. She grabbed his hand at once to check. “I didn’t pinch you too hard, did I?”

Jin Xiangdong laughed. Having realized that she was fooled, Lu Jia’er thumped him.

Ake blinked, wondering, “Is this also a form of boudoir pleasures?”

Jin Xiangdong grinned. “Yes, it is.”

“No, it’s not. This is a form of needing a spanking.” Lu Jia’er corrected him.

Ake looked at Lu Jia’er and blinked again. “Does master need a spanking?”

Lu Jia’er threw a look to Jin Xiangdong who was standing next to her and agreed. “Yes.”

Jin Xiangdong took her hand and explained to Ake. “This is not needing a spanking. Beating shows affection and scolding shows love. That is what this is.”

Ake cast a glance to Jin Xiangdong and then Lu Jia’er, which was followed by a sigh. “I shall go back to the study. I don’t want to be the third wheel here!” With that said, Ake turned around and headed toward the study.

Jin Xiangdong did not stop Ake. He took Lu Jia’er to the dining room, holding her hand.

The dishes Ake prepared catered to Lu Jia’er’s taste. She could not help but think of Amy in her apartment. At home, she treated Amy like her own family. Therefore, she had a little advice for Jin Xiangdong. “Don’t you dine with Ake usually?”

Jin Xiangdong gazed at Lu Jia’er with a grin. “But you may get shy!”

“What is there to be shy about when eating?” Lu Jia’er wondered.

Jin Xiangdong’s grin grew wider. “Since you are not shy, then take a seat on my lap!”

Lu Jia’er was startled. She blinked in surprise. “What is it now?”

“Come on and sit on my lap!” Jin Xiangdong smiled and repeated.

Lu Jia’er found this unbelievable, which was expressed with her eyes. Unconscious, her cheeks turned rosy again. She whispered, “Were we this tacky before?”

Looking at her blushed face, Jin Xiangdong’s lips curled up. It was always a pleasure to amuse her thusly, in the old days or at the present day. He nodded. “Yes!”

Lu Jia’er gave him a glance of suspicion. “You are lying to me, aren’t you?”

“When did I ever lie to you?” Jin Xiangdong protested, gazing at her.

Clearly, this answer was flawed. Lu Jia’er retorted directly, “When you tricked me into going to Liu Qiming for hypnosis!”

But Jin Xiangdong denied that allegation. “You signed the contract first and then I took you there.”

Jin Xiangdong asserted so eloquently. Lu Jia’er squinted. “Did anyone ever tell you that you are a scoundrel?”

Hearing this, Jin Xiangdong nodded without shame, “Of course someone did.”

“So, I see that someone has a keen grasp on your nature, just like me!” Lu Jia’er said.

Jin Xiangdong put some food on Lu Jia’er’s plate and at the same time replied with a grin, “You are the only one that used the word scoundrel on me. If so, I will take this as an intimate nickname you have come up for me, so to speak!”

Lu Jia’er cleared her throat and corrected herself. “This is not a nickname, but a definition!”

Jin Xiangdong smiled. “I will only be a scoundrel to you!” he said, in his charming and deep voice.

Nobody could remain sober at such sugared words. Lu Jia’er’s lips puckered in a smile. “Did you use to say those fine-sounding words to me often?” She asked.

Jin Xiangdong shook his head gently. “In the old days, you are the one speaking all those sugared words to me!”

Lu Jia’er felt struck. She remembered some sweet moments, only not with Jin Xiangdong, but with Ian. But the fact was the fact. Between Jin Xiangdong and her, she was the initiator.

Her memory was replaced. How did that happen?

Lu Jia’er could not help but go off into wild flights of thoughts. That sweet atmosphere disappeared instantly. “Ace, after we have lunch, go with me to Liu Qiming!”
