Chasing My Husband! The "Crown Prince" of the Beijing Circle Is Wildly Unruly! - Chapter 44

In the tense atmosphere, He Zheng sensed Wang Xinghe’s determination and resolve, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

He took a deep breath, attempting to calm himself, then gently patted Lu Jingze’s back. “CEO Lu, shouldn’t we head back to the manor first…”

At that moment, Lu Jingze broke free from He Zheng, stumbling toward Wang Xinghe, and finally collapsing into his embrace.

The scent of alcohol and a cold fragrance mixed with the warmth, tightly enveloping the two of them.

He Zheng quickly nodded to Wang Xinghe. “Mr. Wang, I’ll pick up CEO Lu tomorrow morning.”

“Da-da-da—” The sound of hurried footsteps retreating echoed behind Wang Xinghe, growing fainter.

Wang Xinghe helped Lu Jingze inside the apartment.

He settled the man on the bed, looking at the flushed face. His heart was a mixed bag of emotions. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply. “Why bother, Lu Jingze… We can’t be together.”

He turned to head to the kitchen to pour a glass of hot water.

Suddenly, he felt his wrist grabbed, and he lost his balance, falling into Lu Jingze’s embrace.

Lu Jingze opened his eyes, but they held only a third of the previous drunkenness.

His phoenix eyes were hazy with moisture, reflecting Wang Xinghe’s face.

Lu Jingze’s voice was laced with helplessness and sadness. “Wang Xinghe, what exactly do you want me to do to forgive me?”

Wang Xinghe struggled hard to break free from him.

“Zzz—” Lu Jingze cried out instinctively as the wound he had sustained from the accident a few days ago hurt when Wang Xinghe pushed against it.

Wang Xinghe frowned and immediately stopped struggling, his voice softening. “Let go of me first.”

Lu Jingze hugged him tighter, using almost all his strength to hold Wang Xinghe close.

Wang Xinghe rested on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, his eyes filled with the pain of the struggle.

“Why bother?”

“Lu Jingze, why bother?”

A head buried itself in his neck, and Wang Xinghe wanted to dodge but had nowhere to go.

Lu Jingze’s voice, incredibly close, sounded in Wang Xinghe’s ear: “What if I told you that I must have you in this lifetime?”

Wang Xinghe’s eyeballs trembled, and his heart gave a sudden leap.

For a moment, he was startled by Lu Jingze.

But he quickly calmed down.

“Why do you insist on downward compatibility? Our lifestyles, class, horizons, ways of doing things, social circles, cognition, and even our friends are completely different lives.”

“What happens after overcoming all obstacles to be together? It will be blandness, boredom, coldness, and separation…”

“Lu Jingze, you abandoned me once. Your words hold no credibility anymore.”

Wang Xinghe felt Lu Jingze’s entire body stiffen.

The arm holding him also loosened.

Wang Xinghe took the chance to pull away from his embrace and turned to the living room to pour water.

“After tonight, don’t come back unless absolutely necessary.”

“Our entanglement won’t have a good ending…”

“Lu Jingze… I…”

Wang Xinghe’s wrist was grabbed, and he was pressed against the dining table.

His head was cushioned by a palm.

A warm, wine-scented kiss was pressed down.

Their lips and teeth intertwined. It was Lu Jingze, his eyes red.

Wang Xinghe’s scalp tingled, and he felt a burst of angry embarrassment.

He struggled furiously to push Lu Jingze away, but Lu Jingze used his hand to clamp his wrists.

His legs struggled, but they were trapped by Lu Jingze’s legs and couldn’t move.

Unable to break free, Wang Xinghe allowed himself to be kissed but refused to respond in any way.

Lu Jingze saw his pale, powerless expression and gradually lost strength.

He released Wang Xinghe, slowly collapsing onto the floor, covering his eyes in pain.

His nose was running with a painful ache.

Wang Xinghe struggled to his feet, looking down at Lu Jingze.

His heart felt as if it had been stabbed.

Watching Lu Jingze cover his face, his shoulders trembling, countless feelings of sadness welled up in his heart.

What did Lu Jingze lack? Why was he so fixated on him?

He half-knelt and gently patted his shoulder. “Lu Jingze, we are both adults. It’s not necessary. It’s really not necessary.”

“Your current fixation is simply because I rejected you.”

“Someone who gets whatever he wants, like you, rarely tastes rejection, so you mistake it for love woven into your bones. But can you distinguish how much resentment is mixed in with your love?”

Pain climbed into Lu Jingze’s eyes. He grabbed Wang Xinghe’s shoulder. “Who told you I get whatever I want?”

“Haven’t you noticed that someone is always trying to kill me?”

“I…” Lu Jingze choked up… taking a long breath…

“I’m just a damned nobody…”

“Just a pitiful wretch that nobody wants.” Tears streamed down Lu Jingze’s phoenix eyes.

He looked at Wang Xinghe, and from his eyes, Wang Xinghe saw a fragility that could be shattered with a touch.

A scorching touch spread from Lu Jingze’s fingers to his cheek.

Wang Xinghe’s heart trembled again. He couldn’t understand what troubles a person of Lu Jingze’s status and position could have.

But looking at him like this, it didn’t seem like the pain of unrequited love; it was more like a scar deeply accumulated in his heart…

… now being displayed to him.

His eyes were shaking. “Lu Jingze… you…”

Lu Jingze moved closer to his lips. This time, the kiss was extremely domineering.

It invaded his lips and teeth, conquering territory.

Wang Xinghe’s breathing was ragged. Pressed against the carpet, Wang Xinghe couldn’t struggle at all.

This was followed by Lu Jingze’s further actions.

Wang Xinghe only felt a sense of humiliation. He didn’t like being forced by others.

He wasn’t naturally gay.

If the affection was mutual, he would be willing to do things he had never done before to make the other person happy.

But they had already broken up!

Seemingly feeling the stiffness of the person beneath him, Lu Jingze’s reason returned.

He did not proceed further.

Instead, he collapsed onto Wang Xinghe, whispering with a sense of despair, “I’m sorry…”

Lu Jingze tidied Wang Xinghe’s messy clothes, picked him up in his arms, and placed him on the sofa.

He picked up his phone, which had fallen to the floor.

He sighed lightly. “Xinghe Ge, I’m sorry… I’ve disturbed your life… I’ll go back now…”

Lu Jingze, who had only been a third drunk, made a big movement. The after-effects kicked in, and he felt dizzy. His head slammed directly into the wall.

“Bang—”

The loud noise startled Wang Xinghe.

He saw Lu Jingze near the door falling straight backward.

Wang Xinghe felt chilled all over and rushed forward, catching him in his arms.

Lu Jingze had fainted.

Wang Xinghe’s heart was trembling. He pulled out his phone, intending to call the emergency services, but then reconsidered Lu Jingze’s identity.

He was afraid of causing him trouble.

He took out Lu Jingze’s phone and found that it had a password.

He was about to give up in frustration.

His thumb accidentally touched the fingerprint scanner.

The screen lit up, revealing the home screen.

Wang Xinghe suppressed his surprise and found a contact in the address book noted as ‘He Zheng Secretary.’

He quickly dialed the number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

“Hello, Boss,” He Zheng’s voice came through.

“He Zheng, Lu Jingze hit his head and fainted! Hurry!” Wang Xinghe’s tone was anxious.

He Zheng was stunned for a moment. If he had fainted, how was Lu Jingze’s phone unlocked? His boss guarded his phone like his life.

“Understood, Mr. Wang. Don’t worry, I’ll be there right away.”

But he was highly professional and quickly turned the car around toward Wang Xinghe’s apartment.
