Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 42

As soon as Lu Jingchen hung up Bai Lang’s call, he noticed Ye Qianqian staring at him in a daze. “Wife, did I scare you?”

“No,” Ye Qianqian lied quickly and firmly, though she had indeed been frightened just now!

She had seen the murderous aura in Lu Jingchen’s bottomless cold eyes when he ordered Bai Lang to blacklist Xiao Feng like an army of thousands ready to strike.

She knew that hyperthymesia came with the most intense possessiveness, sudden and unreasonable. If it were just possessiveness, she wouldn’t be afraid.

After all, she had no inclination toward infidelity, whether emotionally or physically.

What scared her was the thought that he might go berserk like this with anyone who approached her, friend or foe, making it impossible for her to adapt.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng wasn’t a good person, so she felt no guilt about him being unjustly blacklisted by the big boss.

But she couldn’t figure out how Xiao Feng had provoked the living king of hell. She hadn’t heard Xiao Feng say anything flirtatious just now.

Was it just because he ignored Lu Jingchen’s warning?

That was way too extreme!

She wasn’t some cursed loner, she was bound to have a few friends to talk to!

[Hahahaha, I told you the female antagonist cares about Xiao Feng! She’s panicking now that the big boss is blacklisting him!]

Ye Qianqian: Panicking your ass! She just wanted to know the reason and figure out a solution.

[Oh no, the big boss is internally berating himself, gnashing his teeth in regret, thinking he scared his wife by blacklisting Xiao Feng. Was he too harsh?]

[Female antagonist, don’t you dare panic over Xiao Feng! He’s not a good guy anyway. The big boss is already on the verge of regretting his decision, changing orders for love.]

[The female antagonist is so ungrateful! The big boss dotes on her so much, yet she’s hurting his heart over some scumbag. Ugh! What a trashy woman!]

Ye Qianqian felt so wronged!

She hadn’t done anything, and she fully supported the big boss’s decision, how had she suddenly become a trashy woman?

Then it hit her, someone in the comments earlier had been counting Xiao Feng’s abs. Had Xiao Feng been shirtless during their video call?

Good heavens, save her!

Was Xiao Feng that perverted?

The way he usually looked at her was like she was a lump of mud, wasn’t it?

This was bad!

Ye Qianqian tugged at Lu Jingchen’s hand and swayed it gently. “Husband, did you just do something scary? I was just savoring the crucian carp and tofu soup you made, the moment it touched my lips, I could feel that rich, fragrant liquid sliding down my throat. The freshness of the fish, the aroma of the pepper, the silky smoothness like milk, and a hint of something special. Especially that piece of white tofu you fed me, its delicate texture was like… a cloud.”

Hearing her words, the icy depths of Lu Jingchen’s eyes instantly melted into boundless tenderness and resolve. “Wife, was it really that delicious?”

“Really, husband. Let me tell you, while drinking the soup, I imagined a sunny afternoon. The sky was filled with plump, round clouds, and we were floating in a milky river of crucian carp soup. Cloud after cloud, soft as tofu, just floated into my mouth. So delicious! Husband, can you tell me how you felt while cooking?”

The moment she finished speaking, Lu Jingchen pulled her into his arms, as if trying to meld her into his very bones, shielding her from the gaze of any other man.

“Wife, whether it’s cooking or peeling shrimp, these should be tasks for the servants. But I want to do them for you myself and I savor every moment of it.”

Especially when watching my wife take bite after bite of the dishes I prepared, the carefully handled shrimp, a hidden sense of satisfaction would rise in my heart.

Perhaps it was because, as a child, I longed for my mother to feed me by hand, but that wish was never fulfilled.

I simply love cooking for you, feeding you bite by bite, this intimacy brings me joy. Honey, do you think there’s something wrong with me?”

Ye Qianqian silently complained: Yeah, seems like there is. Who actually enjoys cooking?

She certainly didn’t, but after moving into the Song household, she had eagerly taken over the task of making soups.

Because soups were easy to learn, and she could enjoy delicacies like bird’s nest and snow pear soup, abalone congee, and free-range chicken with shark fin soup…

Within a year, she had nourished herself into a fair and delicate complexion. Blessed with a metabolism that kept her slim, she had happily embraced the role back then.

Lu Jingchen’s words resonated with her, so her response came out sweet, soft, and coquettish: “Ahh, save me! There’s a heartless man trying to murder my ears, whose husband is this? His voice is so intoxicating! A husband who can cook is so handsome, who does he belong to? Hahaha, oh right, he’s mine! And he looks even hotter when he’s stir-frying, my husband is the best, my absolute idol~”

Her voice dripped with honey, sending waves of delight through Lu Jingchen. “Whose wife is this good at sweet-talking? Oh, she’s mine. And whose wife is this good at acting spoiled? Also mine, hahahaha.” His laughter nearly blew the roof off.

[The female antagonist really lives up to her lovestruck role, just a few sweet words and she’s got the big boss grinning like a fool.]

[Damn! What kind of love potion did she slip him? The big boss completely lost his dignity… just to pamper her?]

[She’s the worst. Even though the big boss is laughing loud, there’s still a knot in his heart she hasn’t noticed at all.]

[For someone with hyperthymesia, no issue can be brushed off or glossed over. Everything must be explained clearly, only then can he sleep peacefully.]

Ye Qianqian: He’s laughing this hard, and yet his heart’s still troubled?

So hard to please!

But he was her lucky charm, indulging him a little couldn’t hurt.

Seeing that Lu Jingchen had been holding her up for a while, she wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled, “Honey, I’m getting dizzy!”

Lu Jingchen immediately set her down, concerned. “Sweetheart, do you feel nauseous?”

“Not really, just lost in thought, so I got a little lightheaded.”

“What’s on your mind?”

“Earlier, you said you scared me, did you do something?”

“I just called Bai Lang and told him to blacklist Xiao Feng.” Lu Jingchen stared intently at her reaction.

“Whatever my husband does must be for a good reason, and I’ll always support you. But Xiao Feng is from my hometown, I just want to know why.”

“During the video call, he deliberately unbuttoned his shirt. Isn’t that him harassing my wife?”

“Ugh, how despicable! Just blacklisting him is too merciful.” Ye Qianqian fumed, her expression fierce with solidarity.

Remembering the barrage of comments praising Xiao Feng’s abs, she deliberately pouted. “Trying to tempt me with his abs? What a joke. Compared to my husband’s abs, it’s like a summer insect trying to fathom ice… wait, why are you taking your shirt off?”

“Sweetheart, I’m about to do the dishes. Don’t want to stain my shirt. You sit and rest for a bit.” Lu Jingchen’s voice was tender.

The barrage of comments exploded in response.

[Panting, panting, drooling over the screen. The big boss abs are seriously amazing, totally incomparable to that country bumpkin Xiao Feng like trying to explain ice to a summer insect.]

[The big boss abs are the real deal, perfectly sculpted with that trendy lean muscle look, just the right balance of definition and firmness.]

[The female antagonist is eating well. Should we ask the big shot to dance for you?]
