854 Caught in the Ac (1/2)

Long Jinjing still felt like she had been run over by a truck. Even so, her body somehow felt lighter after seeing Lu Zihao sleeping on her bed. She didn't expect that it would feel this good to wake up with him lying beside her in the morning.

He didn't stir when she climbed off the bed. It seemed that he was exhausted this time, though she was sure that it wasn't because of their almost nonstop sex. The man had an unbelievable stamina for sex. Maybe his exhaustion was because he didn't get enough rest from his work the other day. After all, he was unable to call her in the evening like he promised and only texted her past midnight when she had already fallen asleep according to her phone records.

Although she was curious about what kind of work he was doing, she stopped herself from wanting to know more. His work was obviously off-limits and he made that clear in his terms in their agreement for their 30-day relationship.

Before leaving the bedroom, she made sure to put on a robe first. She already learned her lesson not to walk around naked even in her own home after Lu Zihao allowed his subordinate, Shun, inside without her knowledge the other day. Lu Zihao had been furious at her that time.

She wasn't afraid of him but she didn't want Shun or Lu Zihao's other subordinates to get into trouble after accidentally seeing her naked. Just based on how subservient both Shun and Robin were acting towards Lu Zihao, she could already deduce that he was a hard taskmaster.

After one last look at the sleeping Lu Zihao, she closed the bedroom door as softly as she could in order not to wake him up. She was about to head straight to the bathroom when she heard her front door clicking open. Her body froze.

Who was it?

Shun? Robin? Were they going to deliver breakfast again? Lu Zihao didn't mention anything to her but he hardly did. He would just do whatever he wanted.

She backed away a few steps, slowly making her way back to the bedroom. If it was an intruder, she would immediately call for Lu Zihao. She had no doubt that he would be able to take down anyone with his massive body and protect her.

”Jing'er!” Sun Jingfei entered the unit with a big smile on her face when she saw her daughter. ”Good morning, my child! I brought breakfast. Come and help your mother carry these bags inside while I put away my coat and shoes. I prepared a lot of food for you, my dear. You've become too skinny lately. We need to fatten you up a little.”

”What's wrong?” her mother asked when she didn't move from her spot. ”Are you still sleepy? Hm? Are those bruises on your neck and chest?”

Long Jinjing's heart jumped and felt like it fell down to the floor. She hurriedly pulled up her robe and tried to cover herself more. Her mother was now rushing towards her with a face filled with concern.

”M-mom, I'm okay…these…uhm….” She tried to stop her mother from coming near her but it was already too late.

Sun Jingfei arrived in front of her. ”Let me see your neck, Jing'er, so that I know if we need to bring you to the doctor.”
