Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 983 Caught by Husband, the Commander, on Their Wedding Night (16)

Shen Shuyi handed the bowl to Lu Heng, saying, "Thank you."

Lu Heng put the bowl down. "You continue to rest. We'll set off when you're better."

"Will this disrupt your plans?"

"No, we'll only leave if we act like we're enjoying a leisurely trip."

Shen Shuyi turned to look at him, "Shaozhang, my legs are so sore."

Lu Heng's gaze fell on her outstretched leg; her ankle was fair and her leg was long and slender.

She was dressed lightly in the middle of summer, her fair skin peeking through the fabric.
Lu Heng's Adam's apple bobbed. "What do you want?"

"Can you give me a massage?" Shen Shuyi stretched her legs. "They're so sore I can't sleep."

When Lu Heng met her pitiful eyes, his heart softened suddenly.

He sat on the edge of the bed and pressed his hand against her soft legs through her undergarments.

"Ah~"

"lighter."

Hearing her sweet voice, Lu Heng felt a ticklish sensation in his heart. "Don't shout."

The man softened his grip, his long, slender fingers gently massaging her legs.

Shen Shuyi initially enjoyed it, but later her breathing became a little unsteady.

The main problem is that he seems to be pressing harder and harder.
She blushed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep."

Lu Heng looked up, his deep eyes fixed on her for a moment, and then his hoarse voice rang out.

"Really okay?"

Shen Shuyi bit her lip and nodded, "Mm!"

Lu Heng released his hand. "Okay, call me if you need anything."

He sat down at the table and picked up a book to read.

Shen Shuyi wasn't sleepy at all, and she turned to look at the man who was engrossed in reading.

"Shaozhang, your attitude towards me seems to have changed a bit."

"What?" Lu Heng didn't look up.

Shen Shuyi's voice was very low, "You told me before not to use any honey traps, that you're not interested in me."

Lu Heng heard clearly, his thin lips parted slightly in surprise, then he pursed his lips in annoyance.

Before he could speak, Shen Shuyi said again:

"I've stopped bothering you, so why are you suddenly being nice to me?"

"Shaozhang, don't try to deny it. I can tell what your attitude is like."

Lu Heng was a little annoyed. Why did she bring this up? He thought he had covered it up very well.

He could never fall in love with a woman who has impure intentions and could harm him at any time.

However, she vaguely hoped for the best from her own observation skills. After observing for a period of time, she realized that Shen Shuyi and Zhu Jing were not as deeply in love as the intelligence had suggested.

Lu Heng's current dilemma is not Shen Shuyi's intentions, but rather that he has realized he already cares deeply about her, regardless of her motives for staying by his side.

But his pride wouldn't allow him to lower his head and admit it.

"Since you came out with me, it is my responsibility to take care of you."

"Do they offer leg massages and sweet soups?"

"They're just minor matters," Lu Heng replied casually.

Shen Shuyi looked at the handsome man in front of her and said, "Oh."

She gave a casual reply, turned around and lay down, no longer looking at him.

Shen Shuyi slept until lunchtime, during which time Lu Heng went out and didn't return until lunchtime.

Lu Heng brought the food into the room and saw that the person on the bed was not moving.

"Shuyi, get up and have your meal."

Shen Shuyi covered herself with the blanket. "I'm not hungry."

Lu Heng didn't believe she wasn't hungry; she usually enjoyed eating all kinds of delicious food.

"I bought you sweet lotus root with osmanthus."

"And there are also phoenix tail shrimp." "Crab meat lion's head meatballs, hibiscus fish slices, and eight-treasure gourd duck."

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but swallow hard, "It's none of your business, I'm not hungry."

“I don’t care about you, but you can’t starve to death in front of me.” Lu Heng patted her shoulder. “Our Lu family doesn’t have the bad habit of mistreating women.”

Shen Shuyi opened her eyes to look at him, meeting the man's deep gaze. She had just closed her eyes when he suddenly lifted her up from the bed.

She was a little speechless, but reluctantly ate the meal.

After finishing her meal, she was full of energy and started causing trouble.

Shen Shuyi lowered her head and said, "Why don't we wait until this major case is settled before we get a divorce?"

"What did you say?" Lu Heng couldn't understand why she suddenly had this idea.

Not long ago, she said she wanted to live a good life, but now...
"I want a divorce." Shen Shuyi took a deep breath.

Lu Heng frowned slightly. "Why?"

"After the divorce, I'll go back to Jiangnan with my mother, find a good place to live, and maybe I'll meet someone who loves me." Shen Shuyi's voice was a little muffled, and a little aggrieved.

She kept her head down, and Lu Heng couldn't see her expression, but he realized that a careless remark he had made in the past might have hurt her.

"I'm sorry, we'll discuss this matter when we return to the capital."

Lu Heng gently patted the back of her hand. "Don't think too much. Since you're out, have some fun. You can tell me where you want to go or what you want to eat tomorrow."

Shen Shuyi kept her head down. "I'm fine now. Let's go to Wu County tomorrow morning."

……

In the following days, the two spoke even less.

Lu Heng didn't not want to talk to her, but he felt uneasy. He was afraid that she would bring up the topic of divorce as soon as she opened her mouth, so he simply kept quiet, also afraid that his unintentional words would be misunderstood by her.

His parents died early, and no one ever told him how to coax his wife.

Upon arriving in Wu County, Lu Heng put aside his thoughts and went to Su Jing's ancestral home to search for the register.

Shen Shuyi stood in front of a humble house with green bricks and blue tiles, several black doors, and old red Spring Festival couplets that had been damaged by wind and rain.

The area in front of and behind the house was covered with moss and weeds, and on rainy days, everything looked gloomy and eerie.

Shen Shuyi slipped on the moss on the stone steps and almost fell. Lu Heng took the opportunity to grab her hand and said, "Be careful."

"Mmm," Shen Shuyi responded, and he held her hand as they continued walking forward.

Do you know where Su Jing hid the roster?

Lu Heng held her soft little hand and whispered in her ear, "Ancestral hall."

Shen Shuyi felt a little itchy in her ears. "Oh, then let's hurry up and look for it."

Upon arriving at the ancestral hall, the two split up to search.

After searching for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I found nothing.

Shen Shuyi asked the system, "66, is that roster really in the ancestral hall?"

[Yes, I'm here!]
It looks like it's going to rain again, and this place is really eerie and creepy.

"66, could you please specify the exact location?"

She had just finished asking the system when Lu Heng responded.

Shen Shuyi looked up and saw that Lu Heng had triggered some mechanism, and a stone door appeared from the place full of memorial tablets.

She walked over, intending to follow, but Lu Heng turned back and stopped her, saying, "Wait for me outside."

He explained, "If there are traps or hidden arrows, it would be very dangerous for you if you don't have martial arts skills."

"Okay." Shen Shuyi felt that her martial arts skills were quite good, but she just hadn't had the chance to use them.

About fifteen minutes later, Lu Heng came out. "Let's go!"

"Got it?" Before Shen Shuyi could hear his reply, the system answered first.

[The roster has been obtained. Host, be careful! There's a large group of assassins outside, currently engaged in a fierce battle with Lu Heng's guards.]
Shen Shuyi composed herself, grabbed Lu Heng's hand, and as the two ran out, the ancestral hall collapsed with a crash.

Lu Heng stretched out his long arm and pushed her out first.

With a deafening roar, the beams and pillars of the ancestral hall collapsed, and the entire old house crumbled.

Shen Shuyi turned around and looked at the figure half-buried in broken bricks and wood in the dusty ruins, her voice trembling:
"Lu Heng!"
