Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 13

“Welcome home, Third Master!” Two rows of people shouted in unison, their voices booming.

“Third Master, put me down, there are so many people watching!” Ye Qianqian whispered urgently.

Seeing the two rows of people staring at her with wide, curious eyes, she panicked and struggled desperately.

“Qianqian, these are just my bodyguards, drivers, and household staff. No outsiders,” Lu Jingchen said coldly.

Ye Qianqian detected displeasure in his tone and looked up to find his face as icy and unapproachable as a frozen mountain.

Confused, she asked, “Third Master, you were fine in the car earlier. Why are you angry again?”

“I’m not angry. Right now, your back aches and your legs are weak. I’m carrying you back to your room,” Lu Jingchen replied in a low, husky voice.

[The big boss already ordered the chef to prepare eighteen dishes the female antagonist loves, why is he insisting on taking her to the room?]

[He’s upset because she doesn’t want to face his household staff, but she’s too dense to notice. Now he’s going to punish her!]

[Hahaha, this punishment is wild, the big boss is straight-up carrying her back to unlock all eight positions!]

[At the banquet hall, he wanted to announce their marriage, but she ran off to the bathroom! Now he wants to show off in front of his staff, and she’s still resisting.]

[Female antagonist, stop acting up! The big boss just wants to pamper you because you’re sore and can’t walk, AND he wants to flaunt that he’s married now.]

“Third Master, I haven’t eaten since last night. I’m starving, I want to eat first,” Ye Qianqian said with strong survival instincts after reading the comments.

“You’re not afraid of them seeing you?” Lu Jingchen asked in a lowered voice.

“Afraid of what? We’re legally married,” Ye Qianqian declared confidently.

“Legally married? Then why haven’t you called me ‘husband’?” His tone was calm, his voice deep and magnetic as ever.

But Ye Qianqian sensed tension in it. Smiling, she said, “Third Master, you haven’t called me ‘wife’ either. We both need time to adjust.”

“Wife, let’s go inside and eat now,” Lu Jingchen said, his voice trembling with excitement.

“Mmm…” The word “husband” stuck in her throat, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Lu Jingchen wasn’t in a hurry. Just being allowed to call her “wife” was enough to make him happy. Turning, he ordered, “The madam is hungry. Serve the dishes now.”

Holding his wife, he quickened his pace into the dining room and carefully set Ye Qianqian down at the table.

Standing in front of him, she had to tilt her head back just to reach his chin. Her warm breath brushed against his jaw, teasing the smooth, seductive bob of his Adam’s apple.

Lu Jingchen glanced down at his wife’s lips, so close he could almost taste them. His body stiffened, the tips of his ears turning red.

Then he turned away abruptly, pulling out a chair. “Wife, sit down and eat.”

[Hahaha, the female antagonist letting the big boss call her “wife” has him so excited his ears are red!]

[Keep it up, female antagonist! Push him further, make him cry. That’d be the ultimate satisfaction for me.]

[Don’t be fooled by his cold face, he’s internally overjoyed, swallowing hard like his throat’s a damn slide.]

[If the female antagonist calls him “husband” now, he’d give her his whole life, so freaking sweet!]

“Wow, so many dishes! Third Master, sit down quickly,” Ye Qianqian exclaimed exaggeratedly, flustered by the barrage of teasing comments.

“Darling, have some soup first.” Lu Jingchen extended his hand, the same hand that could earn a billion in a second to serve her a bowl of soup.

“Thank you.” Ye Qianqian was genuinely hungry and lowered her head to sip the soup while Lu Jingchen continuously piled food onto her plate.

By the time she finished the soup, the dishes in front of her had already formed a small mountain. “My bowl is already full, you should eat too.”

As she spoke, she casually picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and placed it into Lu Jingchen’s bowl.

The butler nearby had been closely observing their interactions. After all, their Third Master had a notorious aversion to germs and never ate food served by others, let alone something as sweet and sour as this pork.

The butler was just about to step forward and replace the plate when his pupils dilated in shock the next second.

The Third Master actually picked up the piece of pork and ate it without the slightest hint of reluctance or disgust.

In fact, he looked downright blissful!

Watching the usually stern and rigid Third Master act like an utterly smitten fool in front of his ethereally beautiful wife was already astonishing enough.

But what happened next left the butler and the rest of the staff utterly dumbfounded.

“The food my wife serves tastes especially delicious.”

“If it’s good, then eat more.” Amused, Ye Qianqian proceeded to serve him over a dozen more bites.

“Darling, you should eat first since you’re hungry. I’ll help myself.” Lu Jingchen’s voice was low and slightly hoarse.

The mere act of serving each other food without even progressing to feeding one another was enough to make Lu Jingchen ecstatic.

“Darling, now that you’re full, should I show you around?” Just as Lu Jingchen finished asking, Ye Qianqian’s phone rang.

“Hey~ Qianqian, are you okay? I just found out that scumbag Song Yuntao switched the bride to that scheming bitch Ye Qingyan…”

The moment Ye Qianqian answered, she was met with Lu Yao’s rapid-fire tirade from the other end of the line.

She felt too awkward to tell Lu Yao that she had already married her third uncle, so she could only reply vaguely, “Yao Yao, I’m doing fine.”

Without seeing any live comments, she couldn’t be sure whether Lu Yao, like Xiao Feng, was secretly a follower of Ye Qingyan while pretending to be her best friend.

“Qianqian, don’t you dare hide away and cry! I’ll be back tomorrow morning to get revenge for you. My mom suddenly fell ill the other day, and we had to go to the capital for tests, but nothing was wrong. That’s why I wasn’t there for you…”

On the other end, Lu Yao chattered away, explaining why she hadn’t been in Rongcheng, then proceeded to curse Song Yuntao and Ye Qingyan to hell and back.

Ye Qianqian patiently listened for over ten minutes before finally interjecting when the rant paused, “Yao Yao, when you get back, I have some good news to tell you.”

“Really? You have good news at a time like this? Don’t tell me that bastard Song Yuntao realized how amazing you are and came crawling back?”

Lu Yao’s anger made her voice so loud that even without speakerphone, Lu Jingchen, standing right beside Ye Qianqian, could hear every word clearly.

He desperately wanted to snatch the phone and turn it off, but he didn’t want to upset her, so he restrained himself.

“That scum is tainted, I don’t want him. Yao Yao, let’s meet up when you’re back. Bye.” Ye Qianqian hung up immediately after.

Lu Jingchen swiftly turned off her phone for her. “Darling, let’s go upstairs to freshen up.”

The entire second floor was Lu Jingchen’s personal space, with only one bedroom but two bathrooms, one in the bedroom and another in the gym.

“Darling, you can use the bathroom in the bedroom. I’ll use the other one.”

By the time Lu Jingchen finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, Ye Qianqian still hadn’t come out.

Tonight was their wedding night.

Although they hadn’t held the wedding ceremony yet, the couple had already obtained their marriage certificate, making them legally married.

The bedsheets and covers had been changed to a festive red, scattered with rose petals.

He had just ordered someone to arrange this, unsure whether his wife would like it.

Their marriage registration had been rushed, and though many things were prepared last-minute, they were all of the finest quality.

Lu Jingchen still wasn’t entirely satisfied, feeling that none of this was truly worthy of his wife. Excitement, joy, and worry all tangled together in his heart.
