Free Web NovelChapter 111: Chapter 111: Wanting to Know Her Thoughts
’No way. It was one thing to stumble upon a scene like that, but if I actually dared to stay and watch, that would be taking it too far!’
’A sweet moment like this should be left to my brother and sister-in-law!’
As Lu Xinyue thought this, she was already scurrying away. She even remembered to close the door for Lu Cheng and Shen Nian before she left.
"Didn’t I tell you to get your brother and sister-in-law for dinner? Why aren’t they here? And why is your face suddenly so red?"
Seeing that Lu Xinyue had returned alone with a flushed face, Sun Yufeng asked her question in confusion. After speaking, she prepared to go call Lu Cheng and Shen Nian herself. ’Sometimes, you really can’t count on this daughter of mine for even the simplest things.’
"Mom, I already told my brother and sister-in-law! They’ll be right over, so don’t you go!"
’Are you kidding me? If Mom goes over there now, she’ll really interrupt my brother and sister-in-law! He might even think I ran out to announce it and organized a tour group to go gawk at them!’
’There’s no way I’m taking the blame for that!’
’Lu Xinyue knew exactly what kind of person her older brother was. He was fiercely protective!’
’In front of outsiders, he protected the entire family. But at home, the person he was most protective of was definitely Shen Nian!’
’In a situation like this, the woman is always the one who feels more embarrassed. If they made Shen Nian feel awkward, Lu Xinyue was sure her brother would come after her first! After all, she was the one who’d stumbled upon them!’
The moment Shen Nian saw Lu Xinyue standing in the doorway, her first thought was: ’She saw! She saw us!’
’How could it be such a coincidence! She and Lu Cheng had just... and Lu Xinyue had to come over at that exact moment, catching them in the act!’
Sure, she and Lu Cheng were a legally married couple, so no matter how intimate they were, it was perfectly normal! But being seen by her sister-in-law like that still made Shen Nian feel mortified. Not to mention, it was their first kiss!
And to make matters worse, it would have been one thing if Lu Xinyue had just seen them. But as she left, she just had to emphasize that she "didn’t see anything" and then tell them to "carry on." Wasn’t that a dead giveaway that she had, in fact, seen everything?!
’And when she left, she actually closed the door for them!’
’Oh, good grief. Lu Xinyue couldn’t possibly think...’
’But before, they had really just been innocently sleeping under the covers! If she hadn’t tripped, none of this would have ever happened!’
Shen Nian’s mind was racing, her thoughts drifting who-knew-where. She didn’t even notice when their lips finally parted.
It wasn’t until she felt an intense gaze fixed on her that Shen Nian finally looked up and saw Lu Cheng watching her with a complicated expression.
Lu Cheng had been in a daze because the sudden kiss had thrown him off balance and sent his heart racing.
However, Lu Xinyue’s appearance had helped Lu Cheng regain his composure.
Things had indeed happened suddenly, but now that they had, Lu Cheng had no intention of avoiding the issue.
Lu Cheng was quite satisfied with Lu Xinyue’s tactful departure.
After Lu Xinyue left and the door was closed again, Lu Cheng turned his full attention back to Shen Nian.
In fact, as soon as Lu Xinyue left, Lu Cheng had already propped himself up. Though he was reluctant to part from Shen Nian’s sweet lips, he couldn’t bear to keep his weight pressed down on her.
Besides, he was the one who had kissed Shen Nian. Lu Cheng himself was, naturally, incredibly satisfied with this accidental kiss, but he had no idea what she was thinking. He didn’t know if she had enjoyed it or if she was repulsed by it.
The mere thought that Shen Nian might have disliked it made Lu Cheng’s heart ache. And so, he was desperate to know what she thought.
