Cheng Lu's calm face flushed red.
She turned her head and gave a soft response.
The flame in Xu Xiuwen's heart was instantly extinguished.
He asked with concern, "Why didn't you tell me? Does it still hurt? I can go down and buy some swelling medicine for you."
"No need." Cheng Lu pulled Xu Xiuwen, who was about to get up.
She said calmly, "It's not that uncomfortable. It should be fine in a couple of days."
Xu Xiuwen showed a look of apology, "My bad, my bad, next time I'll listen to you."
Cheng Lu charmingly rolled her eyes at Xu Xiuwen, "There won't be a next time."
Xu Xiuwen said, "Then I'll find someone else."
Cheng Lu was instantly anxious!
"Don't you dare!"
Xu Xiuwen laughed, "I wouldn't dare. I'm just teasing you."
Cheng Lu also felt that Xu Xiuwen wouldn't dare, and she believed that with her around, Xu Xiuwen wouldn't possibly be interested in other girls.
She had that much confidence.
The two of them sat on the sofa chatting.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly said, "How about I massage it for you, blow on it a bit, it might help the swelling go down faster."
Cheng Lu reached out and pinched his waist, embarrassed and annoyed, "Pervert, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
Xu Xiuwen spread his hands, "You really misunderstood me. I'm just concerned about my little baby and hope she recovers soon."
Cheng Lu was both embarrassed and annoyed.
Xu Xiuwen actually called her little baby.
Cheng Lu didn't know whether to scold him or to scold him fiercely.
How shameless.
How could he say such things?
Cheng Lu rolled her eyes at Xu Xiuwen again.
After a moment of silence.
Cheng Lu asked again, "Xu Xiuwen, what happened last night won't make me pregnant, right?"
Xu Xiuwen asked, "When was your last period?"
Cheng Lu couldn't help but ask, "Are you a pervert? Why are you asking this?"
Xu Xiuwen said helplessly, "I'm calculating if you're in a safe period. Besides, is there a pervert as handsome as me?"
Cheng Lu didn't respond to his words.
She thought for a moment and gave a date.
Xu Xiuwen did some calculations and reassured her, "Then it's fine. Last night was your safe period. You won't get pregnant."
"Are you sure?"
Xu Xiuwen nodded, "I'm sure."
Hearing this, Cheng Lu first breathed a sigh of relief, then asked again, "How do you know so much about this kind of thing?"
Seeing Cheng Lu's questioning look, Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to reach out and lightly flick her delicate nose, lecturing her, "Don't always think the worst of me. Besides, the old Cheng Lu was a cold and proud ice queen. How did you become such a suspicious and jealous person now? This doesn't seem like you."
With his words, Cheng Lu also felt that she might have been too sensitive.
She hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything more.
After chatting for a while, Xu Xiuwen suggested, "Lulu, why don't you bring some clothes to change into and leave them in the wardrobe? That way, next time you stay over, you won't have to worry about not having clothes to change into."
Cheng Lu knew what Xu Xiuwen was thinking when he suggested she stay over.
But she didn't object and calmly said, "I know."
Xu Xiuwen got up, walked to the cabinet by the entrance, took the door key, and walked back to the living room.
He took a key off the keychain and handed it to Cheng Lu, saying, "This is the door key. Keep one for yourself. In the future, even if I'm not here, you can still come over."
Cheng Lu asked, "Why would I come if you're not here?"
"This bed is so big. Even if I'm not here, you can come and rest. And there's a TV, isn't it more comfortable than your dorm?"
Cheng Lu shook her head, "If I often don't return at night, if Secretary Li finds out, my mom will know soon after."
"No worries, keep the key. After all, you're the lady of the house. You don't have to come, but you should have the key."
Hearing this, Cheng Lu felt a bit happy and took the key.
They chatted on the sofa for a while longer.
Xu Xiuwen mainly told her how he got this house for cheap.
Cheng Lu listened quietly.
An hour passed quickly.
It was already past nine.
Cheng Lu suddenly said, "I have to go back."
Xu Xiuwen was taken aback, "It's Sunday, no classes. Why are you going back?"
Cheng Lu looked at her clothes and said, "I need to go back to take a shower and change clothes."
"Alright then." Xu Xiuwen saw that Cheng Lu had made up her mind and didn't try to stop her.
He offered, "I'll take you back."
Cheng Lu did not refuse.
So the two of them got up and walked towards the entrance.
After changing shoes, Cheng Lu placed the slippers neatly on the shoe rack.
They went out together.
Since the west gate of Jiaotong University was right opposite the community, Xu Xiuwen didn't drive but walked Cheng Lu back to Jiaotong University.
After entering Jiaotong University, he originally planned to walk her to the dormitory building.
However, she said that she could go back by herself and told Xu Xiuwen to leave first.
Seeing her firm attitude, Xu Xiuwen didn't insist and reminded her to rest well before turning back to Jiangning Huayuan.
When he got back to Jiangning Huayuan and sat down on the sofa, Xu Xiuwen received a text message from An Shishi.
The message read: Hubby, were you with Cheng Lu last night?
"Why do you ask?"
An Shishi replied: "Cheng Lu didn't come back last night. If she wasn't with you, then she must be up to something fishy."
Xu Xiuwen typed back speechlessly: Stop sowing discord. Cheng Lu was with me last night.
An Shishi replied: Boohoo, hubby, you misunderstood me. I wasn't trying to sow discord. I'm just worried Cheng Lu might do something to hurt you.
Xu Xiuwen typed: Cheng Lu would never do anything to hurt me. If anyone would, it would be you, you little troublemaker.
An Shishi: I'm not a troublemaker. You're defaming my innocence.
"Do I even need to defame your innocence? Who was it that drugged me that night? And often flirts with me in public?"
He thought An Shishi would be embarrassed or deny it.
Instead, she typed back: Hehe, alright, I admit I'm a little troublemaker, but I'm only a troublemaker for you, only for you to see.
Xu Xiuwen didn't reply to her.
An Shishi continued to text: Hubby, did you sleep with Cheng Lu last night?
"What do you think?"
"I think probably not. Cheng Lu is so cold; she wouldn't be so easily seduced."
"Sorry, you're wrong."
An Shishi was very surprised to see Xu Xiuwen's message.
"Hubby, did you really sleep with Cheng Lu?"
"Would I lie to you?"
An Shishi stopped typing.
From the beginning of her relationship with Xu Xiuwen, she thought it was enough just to be his mistress and be pampered by him.
So she told herself not to compete with Cheng Lu, knowing she couldn't win.
But after they got involved, Xu Xiuwen became very infatuated with her, a genuine infatuation.
This made her have thoughts she shouldn't have.
She also considered that if Xu Xiuwen and Cheng Lu never took that step, who could guarantee they wouldn't break up?
And once they broke up, she could take her place.
But now knowing that they really had a physical relationship, it meant the chances of them breaking up were much lower.
