Chapter 4 A Field of Green on His Head

Su He felt extremely hot, as if she were in a sea of fire. She struggled desperately, trying to escape this predicament. However, a pair of strong arms pinned her down, rendering her immobile.

"Su He, open your eyes and look at me..." a cold voice echoed in her ears as she drifted in and out of consciousness.

Su He fluttered her eyelids, trying to get a clear look at the person before her. Unfortunately, the medicine she had taken was too potent, and her body was completely out of her control. All she could do was whimper and mumble incoherently.

"Hot... so hot..."

Lu Yanbei tightly gripped her flailing hands, raising them above her head and pressing them onto the pillow.

"Look at me, Su He... Who am I?" he leaned closer and asked.

Su He struggled to open her eyes, the man in front of her gradually coming into focus. "Lu Yan...bei..."

"You didn't call me that before..." Lu Yanbei murmured, staring at her vibrant, full lips.

Su He wriggled uncomfortably, trying to break free from his hold. "Let go of me... Ruo..."

Accidentally touching his slightly cool neck, Su He forcefully wrenched her hand free and hooked her arm around his neck. "So cool, it feels so good..."

Lu Yanbei tried to pull her arm away, but to no avail.

He hadn't expected her to be so strong.

"Let go, I'll take you to take a bath." Lu Yanbei, aroused by her actions, had no choice but to temporarily abandon his questioning.

Su He was already reaching to unbutton his clothes. She wanted a bigger ice pack to cool the heat in her body. With a surge of strength she didn't know she possessed, she managed to pull off two buttons from Lu Yanbei's shirt, revealing his firm chest.

Su He gazed at his chest with a hazy look, as if she were staring at a delicious meal. Then, to Lu Yanbei's stunned gaze, Su He went straight for his chest with her lips.

Lu Yanbei cursed under his breath, scooped her up, and headed straight for the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet with one hand and pressed her small head down with the other, preventing her from moving erratically. When the cold water poured down, splashing onto Su He's burning face, she regained a sliver of her senses.

Su He panted heavily, clinging to Lu Yanbei's arm like a drowning person. The cold water pouring from her head suppressed the heat within her considerably. Her thin clothes became translucent as they became soaked, clinging tightly to her body and outlining her soft figure.

Lu Yanbei was also drenched, water dripping from his hair like beads, creating an indescribably alluring scene. He was already handsome, and this wet image made Su He recall the phrase "a feast for the eyes."

"Had enough?" Lu Yanbei asked, cupping her chin.

Su He swallowed and changed the subject. "Where is this, why am I here?"

Lu Yanbei clicked his tongue. "You don't even remember how you got here?"

Su He patted her head, trying hard to recall. "Lu Jingyang called and asked me to meet him to discuss some matters... I waited for a long time, but he never showed up... Then the waiter poured me a glass of water, and after drinking it, I started feeling dizzy..."

After that, her memory became hazy, leaving only fragmented snippets. She went to the restroom, someone bumped into her, and then a man dragged her into the men's restroom, and there seemed to be some struggle.

She had absolutely no memory of what exactly happened or how she ended up in the hotel room.

Hearing Lu Jingyang's name, Lu Yanbei's expression darkened further. "You just came when he called, without any precautions? If I had discovered you a few minutes later, do you know what the consequences would have been?"

Su He lowered her head in shame. "I... I thought it was in broad daylight, it wouldn't be..."

"Hah, foolish! You deserve to be set up!" Lu Yanbei rebuked her unceremoniously.

Su He was already feeling unwell, and being berated like this made her heart ache even more, tears streaming down her face. At first, she just cried silently, but the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, eventually crouching under the showerhead, covering her face, and sobbing uncontrollably.

Lu Yanbei was somewhat agitated by her crying. "Stop crying!"

"Wuwuwu... I already feel terrible, and you're still yelling at me..." The physical discomfort coupled with her low mood made Su He unable to control her emotions. She lashed out at Lu Yanbei without restraint.

If this were before, she wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing.

Lu Yanbei, such an influential figure, she used to stutter even when talking to him, let alone yelling at him.

Lu Yanbei rubbed his temples, turned off the water valve, threw a towel over her head, and said, "If it weren't for... I wouldn't bother with you!"

With that, he left her alone inside to reflect.

In the bedroom, the complex emotions in Lu Yanbei's eyes had not yet completely faded. He took off his soaked clothes and picked up his phone to contact his assistant, Cheng Jue, asking him to buy medicine from the pharmacy and bring him a clean set of clothes.

Cheng Jue, who had received the inside scoop, felt his heart flutter.

It seemed that Miss Su held a significant place in his boss's heart!

His boss had always been aloof towards women; let alone carrying them, even accidental contact required him to disinfect himself multiple times!

But this Miss Su was an exception!

The story between an uncle and his nephew's wife was truly compelling.

Cheng Jue dazed for a few seconds before quickly getting out of the car and entering the nearby mall. After buying what his boss had asked for, he passed by the women's clothing section and thoughtfully bought an outfit for Su He as well.

See, how considerate his assistant was.

Meanwhile, Lu Jingyang had also arrived at the hotel. According to the plan, Su He should have already been brought to the reserved room. Next would be the scene of catching them in bed. With this evidence in hand, why worry about a successful divorce?

Lu Jingyang became more and more excited as he thought about it.

"Second Young Master." Cheng Jue, carrying bags of goods, arrived at the elevator entrance just as Lu Jingyang was about to go upstairs.

Seeing Cheng Jue, Lu Jingyang felt a pang of panic.

Cheng Jue was his elder brother Lu Yanbei's special assistant, and wherever Lu Yanbei was, he was sure to be around.

"Secretary Cheng... is my eldest brother..." Lu Jingyang asked tentatively.

"Mr. Lu has an appointment to discuss business," Cheng Jue replied concisely.

Lu Jingyang patted his chest, slightly relieved.

Fortunately, he wasn't here specifically to block him!

His gaze swept over the shopping bags in his hand, and Lu Jingyang's sharp eyes spotted some items exclusively for women. He couldn't help but wonder: His eldest brother had always been detached from women, and he wouldn't have his personal assistant handle such things for him. Could it be that the thousand-year-old iron tree had finally blossomed?

"What are these things for?"

Cheng Jue replied with a poker face, "These are the boss's orders."

As for anything else, he was not at liberty to disclose.

Lu Jingyang nodded in understanding.

The elevator door opened, and Lu Jingyang pressed the button for the sixth floor. Seeing him carrying the bags, he thoughtfully asked, "What floor is eldest brother on?"

"The eighth floor, thank you," Cheng Jue replied with a polite smile.

As the elevator ascended, there was no further conversation between them.

When the elevator stopped at the sixth floor, Lu Jingyang hurried away. Watching his departing back, a hint of pity appeared in Cheng Jue's eyes.

Young Master Lu the Second probably never imagined that he was already wearing a "green hat." And the one who placed it there was none other than the brother he most admired.
