Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 68

Lu Jingchen noticed that Ye Qianqian was so exhausted she could barely keep her eyes open. “Darling, your physical stamina is too weak. Starting tomorrow morning, you’ll join me for a jog.”

“Then let me sleep now! Who can wake up early when you keep me up until three in the morning every day?” Ye Qianqian hoarsely protested.

It was only a little past ten, and his wife already wanted to sleep? Not a chance. But Lu Jingchen didn’t say that out loud, only letting out a low chuckle as his movements grew more intense.

Ye Qianqian watched his handsome, refined face glistening with sweat under the lamplight and marveled at his incredible stamina.

Just then, her phone rang. “Honey, check who’s calling me so late at night?”

“Darling, it’s only a little past ten… how is that late? I’m busy right now, we’ll check later.” As he spoke, Lu Jingchen muted the phone.

Ye Qianqian wasn’t in a hurry to answer either, so she didn’t mind his actions.

After filtering through the barrage of spoilers in the comments, she had concluded that Lu Yao was her only true friend.

Earlier, while Lu Jingchen was showering, she had video-called Lu Yao and arranged to go shopping together tomorrow afternoon.

As Ye Qianqian wondered who could be calling, the phone rang again. “Honey, take a break. Let me answer this call.”Lu Jingchen had no intention of stopping and he wouldn’t but he didn’t stop Ye Qianqian from reaching for her phone.”

He didn’t think it would be a disturbance; after all, his wife had just been unable to keep her eyes open, but now she was wide-eyed, staring at the phone.

Secretly, however, he was already plotting how to deal with whoever dared interrupt their moment.

Ye Qianqian swiped a few times but couldn’t manage to answer the call. It was Lu Jingchen who considerately swiped the screen for her.

Immediately, a tearful, pleading voice came through the phone: [Qianqian, please, I beg you, save Aunt Yun…]

[Me… save… you? Why aren’t you looking for President Ye? If not him, you should try Ye Qingyan. There’s no reason you should come to me.]

Ye Qianqian’s voice was hoarse, and she let out occasional soft moans as she spoke. Having experienced plenty herself, Xie Yun immediately understood what Ye Qianqian was doing.

Under normal circumstances, her slick instincts would have told her to hang up immediately, but she was beyond caring now.

With three of her limbs paralyzed and only her left hand functional, she was growing desperate, unable to locate Ye Qianqian’s father or Ye Qingyan.

Frantically, she pleaded through tears: [Qianqian, your dad and your sister have both blocked me. I can’t reach them. I’m begging you…]

Lu Jingchen kindly offered: [Whoever you want to find, I’ll have someone take you to them right now.]

[I need to see President Ye. Please take me to the Ye residence.] Xie Yun stammered, her voice trembling.

[Alright.] Lu Jingchen said, then turned off Ye Qianqian’s phone, muttering, “Sigh, one time I forget to turn it off, and someone comes looking for you.”

But inwardly, he thought: Next time, I won’t turn it off. When my wife is too tired to keep her eyes open, being interrupted might just perk her up again.

“Honey, are you really going to help her?” Ye Qianqian’s voice was both coy and seductive, tinged with a hint of hoarseness.

“Help her? In her dreams. She deliberately disturbed us. I’m going to have Ding Fan take her to see her own daughter.” Lu Jingchen replied with a malicious tone.

“My husband is so clever~~” Ye Qianqian wrapped her arms around Lu Jingchen’s neck and kissed his Adam’s apple.

Lu Jingchen shuddered all over, as if injected with adrenaline, and continued with renewed vigor…

Meanwhile, Xie Yun’s words had sparked a surge of energy in Ye Qianqian. She thought that woman was exceptionally bold.

Whether Xie Yun went to the Ye family or the Song family to find Ye Qingyan, that selfish father and daughter pair would not treat her kindly.

At this moment, instead of lying quietly in the hospital to receive treatment, she still wants to stir up trouble?

She’s blindly confident and arrogant, unable to distinguish what’s good from what’s bad, impulsive and quick-tempered, with a kind of foolish recklessness.

Who gave her the courage?!

Ye Qianqian was lost in thought and accidentally voiced her question out loud.

Lu Jingchen tightened his embrace around her and said with a laugh, “Wife, you still have the energy to think about other things? Is your husband not putting in enough effort?”

“I really don’t have the energy to think, I’m just too curious~~”

“That woman managed to squeeze her way into Rongcheng’s high society and maneuver among those wealthy men, so naturally, she thinks she’s invincible.”

Lu Jingchen enthusiastically analyzed the situation. At times like this, he loved hearing his wife whisper sweet nothings, but her throat was uncomfortable, and she refused to speak.

So, talking about other interesting topics was just as good. Sure enough, his words piqued Ye Qianqian’s interest.

“Husband, you hit the nail on the head. How come I never noticed before that that bitch Xie Yun had such a confident side? Three of her limbs are crippled, and her face was beaten to a pulp by Bai Lang and Ding Fan. Those men who see her must be covered in goosebumps… Hahaha! Just thinking about it makes me sick.”

As she spoke, Ye Qianqian shuddered. Lu Jingchen laughed even more heartily and, despite being busy, took a moment to call Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was currently being forced by Bai Lang to help him with paperwork. When he received the call, he happily boasted, “Bai Lang, I have to go handle some important business for the boss.”

“Oh, so what I’m doing now isn’t important business?” Bai Lang retorted, kicking Ding Fan as he spoke.

“It’s all important business, but I prefer the rough and tumble stuff.” Ding Fan dodged Bai Lang’s attack with a jump.

“Rough and tumble? What did the boss ask you to do?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Can’t you tell me?”

“No.”

“If you can’t tell me, then get lost. I’ve been as busy as a spinning top lately and don’t have time for trivial matters.” Bai Lang acted as though he didn’t want to know.

“Hehe, it’s not that I can’t tell you. I just wanted you to beg me, but you’re so boring. The boss told me to take Xie Yun to the Song family.” Seeing Bai Lang’s lack of interest, Ding Fan couldn’t resist spilling the beans.

“Let’s go, I’m coming too.” Bai Lang said with a smile. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to know, he understood Ding Fan all too well. The more attention you gave him, the more he’d show off.

“Aren’t you super busy?” Ding Fan exclaimed in surprise.

“Balance work and rest, got it?” Bai Lang said disdainfully.

“Bai Lang! you scheming bitch! I fell for it again!” Ding Fan shouted angrily.

“What are you two arguing about now?” Zhang Tianyi had just returned from the hospital after treating Li Kai’s leg. Passing by the study on the first floor, he heard Ding Fan’s dissatisfied shrieks.

“None of your business, traitor. We agreed to stay single together, but you went and got married in secret.” Ding Fan directed his dissatisfaction at Zhang Tianyi.

“We clearly agreed that all four of us would stay single, but the boss got married first. Why aren’t you saying anything about that?” Zhang Tianyi argued back logically.

“Traitor, liar! The boss never said he wanted to stay single. Bai Lang, did you ever hear the boss say he wanted to stay single?” Ding Fan turned to ask Bai Lang.

“What’s with all the dawdling? Hurry up and let’s go. If we’re any later, Song Yuntao and his wife will be going to bed.” Bai Lang urged without directly answering.

“Where are you going? Take me with you.” Zhang Tianyi turned and followed Bai Lang and Ding Fan into the elevator heading to the underground garage.

“Didn’t you just get married? Shouldn’t you go home to be with your wife?” Ding Fan asked curiously.

“We just got the marriage certificate, but we haven’t moved in together yet. She doesn’t need me to accompany her,” Zhang Tianyi said gloomily.

“Sis-in-law doesn’t want you around? We can all tell she really likes you!”

“…”

Zhang Tianyi didn’t know how to explain. His new wife did seem to genuinely care for him.

But after they registered their marriage, even though he’d handed over his salary card, she still hadn’t mentioned consummating their union.
