CHAPTER 230: CHAPTER 232: FEEDING MR. LU

The man wore a blue and white striped hospital gown, sitting on the bed reading a research report, probably brought from Hanyu, with the special watermark on the dark cowhide paper. The soft daylight quietly draped over him, his posture upright, fingers slender and pale, nails neatly trimmed, maintaining an almost perfect grace and poise even in sickness.

But Su Xingyu didn’t appreciate any of this at the moment, only felt a surge of nameless anger, almost wanting to rush over and snatch the document from his hands.

However, his long-standing authority remained, making her hesitant to actually do so, stopping a few steps away from him, she discontentedly whispered, "You’re not yet recovered! What are you doing reading documents?"

He looked up to see her, then directed, "Hand me the pen from over there. Also, the folder."

Su Xingyu huffed, "Are you even listening to me?"

Lu Shifeng looked at her with his deep, narrow eyes, unfazed, "Do it quickly."

"I won’t!" For once she stood firm, summoning her courage, "If you have the guts, wait until you’re healed and get out of bed yourself! Don’t you know patients need to rest?" She realized why he chased her back home to stay; it wasn’t for her to rest well, but for him to be able to work properly! Upon discovering the truth, Su Xingyu almost blurted out asking him "What’s more important, me or work?".

However, she gloomily thought to herself that if she did ask, he would surely say work was more important...

Seeing she still disobeyed, Lu Shifeng indeed lifted the blanket, attempting to get up and get the things himself.

"Hey! How can you be like this!" Su Xingyu panicked, quickly pushing him back onto the bed, "Okay, okay, I’ll get them for you."

Speaking, she reluctantly went to the table at the other end of the room and retrieved the pen and folder he wanted, handing them over unwillingly.

"Lu Shifeng, what you’re doing is really not okay..." She kept nagging.

Lu Shifeng replied, "It’s too noisy."

Su Xingyu was momentarily stunned, about to explode from frustration; she was genuinely concerned about his health, only to have him find her noisy?!

"Do you think I want to take care of you?" Her inner rage almost burst out, "If it weren’t for the fact that you’re my husband..." She wanted to continue but abruptly stopped speaking.

Lu Shifeng looked at her, his voice deep, "If it weren’t for the fact that I’m your husband, then what?"

"You... hmm!" She huffed and turned her head away; if he weren’t her husband, she wouldn’t bother with him! It’s not her who’s hurt!

Lu Shifeng misunderstood her, leisurely saying, "You’re worried about my health? Don’t worry, when I get discharged, I’ll still cherish you well, won’t delay us having a son."

Su Xingyu’s face flushed immediately; this man, where did his thoughts go? "How can you think only about these things?!" She was both embarrassed and angry.

"Or what? Do you want to try now?" He gazed at her, his voice darker and hoarse. The moment the plane hit the ground, he suddenly had a fierce urge to crush her into his embrace. Live or die, he wanted to be with this woman, never parting even if they turned to ashes. Upon waking, he wanted her already, holding back only because both were injured, nearly at the limit.

Su Xingyu was frightened by him; what kind of person is he to be so abnormal?

"Come over," he said heavily.

"I... I won’t." She instinctively sensed danger, standing against the wall to stay as far as possible from him, weakly resisting.

His lips curled into a barely noticeable smile, "You come over, I promise not to read any documents tonight."

"...But you also have to promise not to do anything to me!" Su Xingyu internally wrestled, struggling.

Lu Shifeng’s smile deepened, "I promise not to execute you on the spot." Saying this, he even closed the document and extended it toward her, "How can you help me put the document away if you don’t come over?"

Su Xingyu hesitated, hesitated again at the wall, finally deciding to trust his promise once, cautiously approaching him, reaching out for the document from afar.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, she exclaimed, feeling her wrist tighten under his grip, and the next moment, her body was whirling as she fell into his arms on the hospital bed.

His stable, strong hands lifted her chin, pressing his thin lips onto hers in a lingering kiss.

Her brain lacked oxygen, unable to catch her breath, her limbs restrained by him, incapable of getting up.

"Lu Shifeng... mm..." She protested intermittently.

But her protest was ineffective; he continued to take advantage of the situation until he was satisfied enough to let her go.

She bounced off the bed like a startled rabbit, moving far away to the desk, now glaring at him with her beautiful, innocent big eyes, accusing, "You, you, you... you went too far!"

"Too far?" He smiled again, his narrow, deep eyes showing a hint of satisfaction, "I promised not to do anything excessive; this was just the interest."

...Damn the interest!

Su Xingyu pressed her lips that were kissed to slight swelling, almost wanting to burst out cursing. Boo-hoo, how could there be such a terrible person in the world?!

"Don’t think of tricking me into getting close to you again!" She said tearfully.

He didn’t comment, she had hurriedly forgotten to take the document from his hand, at this moment, he reopened the document, leisurely reading again.

"Hey! You promised not to read any documents tonight!" Su Xingyu was about to cry, what kind of person is this, breaking promises!

He looked up at her, his voice carrying a faint allure, "Then come over and take it."

"I refuse!" She wouldn’t fall for the trick.

"So are you planning to glare at me all night?" He asked relaxedly.

Su Xingyu was taken aback by his question, only then remembered her purpose today, "I brought dinner for you, Mrs. Gui made it." She pointed at the thermal container on the table, "Throw the document over, I’ll find a table to push your dinner to you." No matter what, she dared not approach him again.

"I won’t throw it," he said.

She was stunned for a moment, "Why?" Then quickly got angry, "You just want to take advantage of me, see, you won’t throw the document at all!"

"These are important materials," Lu Shifeng said without a hint of shame, "Important materials are supposed to be treated with respect."

So she doesn’t deserve respect? Su Xingyu was so angry she didn’t know what to do, "If you don’t throw it, then no dinner for you! Humph, I specifically asked Mrs. Gui to make dishes you love!"

His eyebrow remained unmoved, lowering his head to look at the document again.

Su Xingyu waited a bit, seeing no response.

Waited again, still seeing he was reading the document.

Finally, she couldn’t stand it, softly testing, "You... really aren’t going to eat?"

He said evenly, "You certainly wouldn’t let a patient get out of bed to fetch a meal."

Now he remembered he’s a patient! Where was all his energy when he was pretending to get out of bed to grab the pen earlier?

Su Xingyu was so angry she was grinding her teeth, yet fearing he might hurt his health, she had no choice but to persuade gently, "Please have some food, would you?"
