This was actually a very ambiguous move. Lu Beichuan's wide palm was on her neck and he could feel the pulsing of her vein. The pulsing was so slight that it almost couldn't be felt, but still, Lu Beichuan was able to capture that sensation. He was even able to feel Ye Zhen gulping from nervousness.

Lu Beichuan lowered his eyelids to hide the smile in his eyes.

How could Ye Zhen not be nervous? The warmed medicinal oil and his palm were pressed against her neck. The skin that was touching his felt hot like something being roasted, especially since Lu Beichuan's slightly rough palm had thin calluses that rubbed against her delicate skin. That area that he was rubbing the medicinal oil on felt increasingly hot. Bit by bit, a faint tingling sensation pierced into her skin, but it wasn't uncomfortable. On the contrary, it strangely felt somewhat comfortable.

Perhaps, it was due to sensations she was feeling on her neck, Ye Zhen couldn't help feeling hot all over. Her heart was beating very quickly, and the blood was anxiously flowing through her veins.

She was a normal adult with normal needs.

Just because Lu Beichuan didn't mention it, it didn't mean that she didn't have those urges.

Ye Zhen uneasily gulped. She couldn't help clenching her hands. Her cheeks quietly flushed. That redness gradually creeped to the tips of her ears and dyed it red too.

The mood was excellent, and the timing was just right too.

After rubbing the oil onto her skin for a while, Lu Beichuan let go of his grip on her neck. That burning sensation remained on her neck.

Ye Zhen's breathing was somewhat unsteady. It was obvious that she was a bit uneasy under Lu Beichuan's unwavering gaze. She instinctively stood up to avoid his gaze, but Lu Beichuan suddenly held the back of her head and deeply kissed her with his soft lips without asking for permission. She could only passively accept Lu Beichuan's pressing and strong kiss. It felt as if he was trying to swallow her alive with that kiss.

This kiss was too hot and too overbearing. The tip of their noses were pressed against each other. Ye Zhen had difficulty breathing. It almost felt like she couldn't breath.

Lu Beichuan dominated the space between her lips and teeth. By the time Ye Zhen returned to her senses, she was already pressed onto the bed by Lu Beichuan. From her position, the overhanging light created dazzling halos of light behind Lu Beichuan's head.

At the extreme boundary between light and dark, Ye Zhen couldn't make out Lu Beichuan's expression for the moment, but she could still feel the hot puffs of breath from him. She could tell that Lu Beichuan was nervous too.

Ye Zhen didn't speak and neither did Lu Beichuan. They knowingly maintained the silent confrontation.

In the next second, Lu Beichuan probingly leaned towards her neck and gently nipped at her fingernail-size injury. The scent that entered his nose was a fragrance that belonged only to a woman as well as the smell of medicinal oil that ruined the mood.

Ye Zhen groaned.

It was as if a bomb had gone off in Lu Beichuan's head. His mind was completely blank.

F*ck. His self-control and patience went up in smoke.

In the latter half of the night, Ye Zhen was actually in a daze. She didn't know how many times they had done it. She vaguely remembered Lu Beichuan saying something in her ear, but she couldn't clearly remember what he said. Maybe, it was one more time? Last time? Really, this is the last time?

She was muddle-headed until she woke up the next morning. Lu Beichuan had opened the curtains. It was bright outside.

Ye Zhen closed her eyes and turned over. She blearily asked Lu Beichuan to close the curtains, but the warmth remained by her ear.

There was a smile in his voice as he answered, "It's 11. It's time to wake up and eat lunch."

11?

Ye Zhen swiftly opened her eyes and looked at the windowsill. The golden light of the rarely seen winter sun was sprinkled into the room. It was very warm and genial.

Just as she thought of getting up, she felt weak all over, especially… Ye Zhen expressionlessly looked at Lu Beichuan. Her brain slowly recalled what they had done last night. She didn't say a word.

Lu Beichuan touched his nose in embarrassment. Knowing that he was the one in the wrong, he wrapped his arm around Ye Zhen's back and gently propped her up into a sitting position. He consulted her for her opinion, "Do you want me to get someone to bring up a bowl of congee?"

"No need." Ye Zhen decisively pushed up the blanket. Overestimating her ability, she wanted to go downstairs to eat.

Lu Beichuan held Ye Zhen's waist and quietly said, "I'm sorry."

Ye Zhen looked at him in askance. "Please learn some self-control, okay?"

Lu Beichuan's expression became even more helpless.

In the dining room, Aunty Yue brought over a bowl of light congee to Ye Zhen's seat under Lu Beichuan's order. There was a smile on her face as well as Mother Lu when they saw Ye Zhen and Lu Beichuan coming downstairs in an intimate manner.

Mother Lu didn't think there was anything wrong. She thought Ye Zhen was just tired from her work during this period and didn't ask any questions. She was sitting at the dining table with Zhouzhou in her arms and feeding him.

As soon as Zhouzhou saw Ye Zhen coming over, he reached out with his chubby, lotus-like arms towards his mom. He wanted his mom to hold him.

Ye Zhen sat down. Just as she was about to take Zhouzhou from Mother Lu, Lu Beichuan took him.

Failing to be held by the person that he wanted and being held by his stern father instead, Zhouzhou pouted. Unhappiness was written across his face.

"Aunty Yue, bring over Zhouzhou's food. I'll feed him."

"Ah, okay."

It was rare for Lu Beichuan to take care of Zhouzhou so much, so Mother Lu didn't mind him. Looking at Ye Zhen's somewhat tired expression, she inquired in a dignified manner, "Zhenzhen ah, has it been especially busy at work lately? Why are you so tired?"

Ye Zhen smiled. "It's fine."

When Ye Zhen reached out to pick up the spoon on the table, the scarf that she had deliberately wore slipped off which revealed the hickeys on her neck.

As soon as Mother Lu saw that, she understood. She smiled and didn't ask further questions.

They hadn't been consistent with working on weaning Zhouzhou. The key point was that Mother Lu was soft-hearted. As soon as Zhouzhou cried and fussed, she would worry and give in. She couldn't bear to let him go hungry.

However, Lu Beichuan didn't have that problem. He wouldn't give in. He brought the spoon to Zhouzhou's mouth. If Zhouzhou didn't eat, he would lightly slap his hand.

Zhouzhou pouted. He didn't want to eat this. His hazy eyes looked at Ye Zhen and Mother Lu for help.

“Lu Zhifei, open your mouth!"

Zhouzhou trembled. He raised his head and looked at his father's stern eyes. In the end, he didn't dare to put on a pitiful act in front of his father. He opened his mouth and swallowed the food, looking aggrieved while doing so.

Spoonful by spoonful until the spoon slowly reached the bottom of the bowl.

It had to be said that Lu Beichuan's fierce attitude was very effective.

After Lu Beichuan finished feeding Zhouzhou, he handed him over to Aunty Yue. It was only then that he picked up his chopsticks to eat.

"Oh right, the police might need you to go over there and get an oral statement from you." He said this Ye Zhen.

With waning interest, Ye Zhen murmured acknowledgement.

"An oral statement?" Mother Lu asked in surprise. "What happened?"

Lu Beichuan recounted what happened last night. After Mother Lu heard the full story, she immediately slapped her chopsticks down on the table.

"Ye Zhenting actually kidnapped Zhenzhen?" Mother Lu incredulously asked, "What kind of person does that?"

"Mom, don't be angry. It's not worth it."

"Fine, I won't get angry, but this matter isn't over!" Mother Lu sharply said, "Beichuan, you have to handle this matter well. You definitely can't let off Ye Zhenting!"

After saying that, she muttered, "He even dares to kidnap and extort. Who knows what else he'll be capable of!"

Ye Zhen raised her head and helplessly looked at Lu Beichuan, and he responded by meaningfully looking at her neck. Ye Zhen came to a mental halt. Her face suddenly flushed scarlet. She fumbled to wrap the scarf tightly around her neck.

This bastard!

Ye Zhen gritted her teeth.

***

Lu Beichuan was serious about reporting the matter to the police. Even though Ye Zhenting insisted that he was only drinking coffee and chatting with Ye Zhen last night, under human testimony and material evidence as well as Lu Beichuan's insistence, the legal department prosecuted Ye Zhenting according to the law.

For a son-in-law to report his father-in-law to the police for kidnapping and extortion, that was a secret that everyone would want to dig up regardless of which family it was about. Since the people involved were the Lu's, it made this news even more juicy.

As a result, as soon as this news came out, there were countless real and fake stories of various magnitudes.

S

ome of the stories were real and some of them were fake. What was true and what was fake were mixed up together. These stories were written in such an earnest manner and included the correct times and locations. This undoubtedly added a degree of authenticity to the dreadful incident.

-- Exposing Mrs. Lu's Cinderella life of over 20 years!

-- The real story of sparrow turning into a phoenix, told in a series of stories, coming soon!

-- As a distant relative to the Ye's, I'll share an indepth look and the little details about the lives of these twin sisters from their birth. Believe it or not. It's up to you.

Big and small forums were flooded with various posts that were exposes about Ye Zhen's life. Amongst these stories, the topics about the "legendary" and "earth-shattering" love story between Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen were very popular with many people responding. The subjects of the topics were sensational. These stories were cliche and controvied, but they were good at drawing notice. Most of the real and fake stories were made up.

As for the author of these stories, Ye Zhen could only think of one person. Qin Zhiyin.

Qin Zhiyin was straightforward and confident about this issue. It was necessary to create a favorable position to stand in as soon as the news broke out. Rather than be taken advantage of by others making up false facts, it was better to gain the initiative by striking first. By painting the picture that Ye Zhen was the victim, they would be able to smoothly deal with any people trying to splash dirty water on her later on.

There was considerable interest in this matter on Weibo.

"I was Mrs. Lu's highschool classmate. At the time, I felt that Ye Zhen and Ye Qing were people from two different worlds. Ye Zhen's style of dress and conversation was absolutely inferior to Ye Qing's. It was obvious that this was due to being treated differently at home."

"The Ye's are all leeches. My friend works at Ye Corporation and heard that they sold their daughter in order to claim connections to the Lu's!"

"My God… After seeing so many expose posts, I think Ye Zhen's childhood is simply too pitiful. I read that she had to wear clothes that her older sister didn't want. Is that necessary? It's not like the Ye's are lacking in money. How could there be such biased parents? Aren't both of them their daughters?"

"The daughter they meticulously cultivated hasn't been able to break out in the entertainment industry after being in it for so long. The daughter that they ignored married well and has the support of someone important. Why should she let them leech off her? On what basis?!"

"I feel so bad for Ye Zhen! I hope she breaks away from this family of leeches!"

"When I think about how Ye Qing had previously intimately addressed Ye Zhen as Younger Sister, I feel disgusted. Too fake! It's no wonder that Ye Zhen hasn't responded to her. Ye Qing deserves to fail at becoming popular!"

Ye Zhen read all of these Weibo messages. Fortunately, under Qin Zhiyin's guidance, public opinion favored her. Most of them wrote encouraging words to her. Her Weibo account was very harmonious.

Not seeing any eyesore messages, Ye Zhen was in a very good mood. Of course, this wasn't the only reason why she was in a good mood.

Lu Beichuan pushed open the bathroom door and walked out. Ye Zhen smiled and tossed her phone away. Lying on her side, with her right hand supporting her head, she lifted up the blanket on Lu Beichuan's side of the bed with her left hand.

Ye Zhen was wearing silk pajamas that were very close-fitting. It perfectly outlined her exquisite figure. With her left hand on her hip, she beckoned Lu Beichuan. Her subtle facial expressions were charming and tempting. She was like a succubus.

Lu Beichuan's eyes darkened. He couldn't resist gulping.

When this scene was performed, no man could resist the temptation.

He walked over. In a slightly hoarse voice, he leaned over and asked, "What's up?"

Ye Zhen rolled over in bed. She teased him with her fair-skinned, smooth, and round toes. Lu Beichuan grabbed her ankle. He looked very calm except for the desire in his eyes to swallow her.

Ye Zhen's smile grew bigger.

Lu Beichuan crudely pushed Ye Zhen onto the bed. His hot breath sprayed over her neck. He looked very interested.

Lust and desire were running high.
