Chapter 38: Falling Into His Arms
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Master Bei had been scheduled to discuss a contract worth tens of millions of yuan this morning until he had decided to postpone the meeting last night. Although the other party had agreed to postpone the discussion to a later time despite the sudden cancellation from Master Bei’s end, Master Bei would definitely have less ammo to use to negotiate a better deal later considering that he was the one who canceled the meeting last minute.
‘How did Master Bei get bewitched by a woman to a point where he has lost all common sense?’
‘Oh gosh! I think I’m going to have a heart attack from such speedy development of recent events. As far as I know, Master Bei had rejected Miss Tong’s proposal at the wedding banquet the day before yesterday. How have things developed to this stage?’
‘What kind of godly person is Miss Tong to be able to make Master Bei, who has never shown interest in any other women, fall so quickly and deeply?’
Tong Yi caught Chen Mu’s expression that looked as if he had been struck by lightning. Puzzled, she asked him, “Are you alright?”
Chen Mu came back to his senses and looked at Tong Yi with eyes full of admiration. “I’m fine.” When he retracted his gaze, he inadvertently saw the medicine bag on the seat of the car. Chen Mu thought about it and felt that he had to remind Master Bei that the morning after pill was not good for a woman’s health, it was much better to use other precautionary methods before resorting to those pills.
However, when his eyes met Lu Zhanbei’s cold and stern face, Chen Mu was scared sh*tless. He didn’t dare utter the words that were hanging at the edge of his lips.
‘Master Bei has never had a woman before so he might not know much about this. If Miss Tong consumes the morning after pills a few more times, it will prove harmful to her health. What if she can’t give birth to a Little Bei in the future?
After formulating his thoughts, Chen Mu’s gaze landed on Tong Yi as he said in a caring tone, “Miss Tong, try not to take this medicine in the future. It’s not good for your health. I’ll prepare something else for you later.”
Tong Yi looked at the medicine on the chair and then at Chen Mu. Her tone was doubtful. “Is this medicine harmful to the body?”
Chen Mu nodded. “The emergency ones are very harmful.”
Tong Yi took out the medicine from the medicine bag. As she looked at the instructions on the box, she said, “Why didn’t I know that digestive pills are harmful to the body?”
Chen Mu was stunned. “Those are digestive pills?!”
“Yes.” Tong Yi shifted her gaze away from the medicine box and looked at Chen Mu. “What did you think it was?”
Chen Mu was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
“Aren’t you going to start driving?” Lu Zhanbei’s deep and sinister voice came from the backseat.
“I… I’ll start driving now.” Chen Mu quickly turned around, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and started the car.
Tong Yi studied the instruction manual for digestive pills for a while but didn’t find anything unusual. She threw the medicine back into the bag and turned her head toward Lu Zhanbei. He had opened his eyes, so she casually asked him, “What did he mean just now?”
The man turned to look at her. Perhaps it was because he had just closed his eyes for a short rest, but his eyes appeared deeper and darker. “You want to know?”
Chen Mu tightened his grip on the steering wheel in shock.
Did Master Bei know what he had intended to say?
Recalling what he had said, Chen Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed that he did not mention the name of the medicine.
Tong Yi wasn’t particularly curious. She just wanted to talk to Lu Zhanbei and improve their relationship. She turned her body and rested her elbows against the back of the seat. She supported her face with her hands and looked at Lu Zhanbei with eyes full of love. “Yes.”
Lu Zhanbei uncrossed his long legs and leaned toward Tong Yi. He imitated her and supported his head with his hand. He then looked pointedly at the medicine bag beside Tong Yi and then looked at her.
She had wanted to tease him, but she had not expected him to lean in so close to her. His eyes were dark and oppressive. For a moment, Tong Yi wanted to retreat but she forced herself to maintain her position. “What about the medicine?”
He enunciated each word clearly, “Emergency. Contraceptive. Pills.”
Chen Mu was so shocked that Master Bei had guessed it right that his hands trembled in fear, and the car swayed a little off track.
Tong Yi’s hand, which was supporting her face, slipped. She didn’t know if it was because of the sudden swaying of the car or because she was shocked by Lu Zhanbei’s words. She leaned forward and fell into Lu Zhanbei’s arms.
