Chapter 742 Childhood Sweetheart Marries Her Brother in Revenge, Then Regrets It (20)
A dark glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
Mu Zhou casually shared a bed with him.
Was it because you trusted him too much and assumed he wouldn't do anything?
She still never saw him as a man.
Lu Chen's heart was sinking, and he couldn't suppress the discomfort.
He slowly leaned closer to Mu Zhou, placing his hands on either side of her, his eyes filled with a distinct darkness.
He spoke, his voice hoarse:
"Mu Zhou, I'm just an ordinary man."
An ordinary man with desires.
After staring at her for a long time, Lu Chen lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then pulled her into his arms, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
This was an opportunity she offered herself.
He would no longer let her habitually ignore him.

Mu Zhou set an alarm clock to watch the sunrise.
When I woke up, it was still dark.
She was so agitated that she didn't want to open her eyes. Just as she was about to reach for her phone, someone beat her to it and turned off the alarm.
Mu Zhou's furrowed brows relaxed a little, but soon she realized something and suddenly opened her eyes.
Before me was the open collar of a bathrobe.
Her cheeks were pressed tightly against her strong muscles.
As she blinked blankly, her long, curled eyelashes brushed against her chest, bringing more than just waves of itchiness.
There was also a flutter in my heart and a tension in my muscles.
Lu Chen didn't let go of her; instead, he tightened his arms around her lower back, bringing her even closer to him.
Let her fully experience everything about him.
The sight of a usually mature and composed man suddenly shedding his burdens is enough to make one's heart tremble.
Now it will be difficult for Mu Zhou to fool anyone.
She silently raised her hand, forcibly creating some distance between herself and Lu Chen's chest.
"Morning."
Her voice was muffled, soft, and delicate.
Seeing her attempt to escape, Lu Chen gently kneaded her slender waist with his large hand and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Do you still want to see the sunrise?"
"……certainly."
Mu Zhou felt a slight itch in his waist and subconsciously twisted his body.
The little distance she managed to break through vanished again.
She simply gave up and pressed herself against his chest, listening to the violent beating of his heart.
Anyway, it's early in the morning, and he's the one who's feeling unwell.
Lu Chen lowered his eyes, looking at her obediently leaning against his chest, a smile playing on his lips.
That's fine.
Even though his whole body was so tense that it hurt, he was unwilling to let go.
This state of affairs did not last long, as a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"What's the noise outside?"
Mu Zhou didn't hear any sounds of excitement about watching the sunrise, so he started preparing.
Lu Chen's expression darkened, but he released the person in his arms.
She put on her coat, ready to go out and see what was going on.
Under the cover of night, Lu Chen glanced outside and, after confirming there were no safety concerns, went to the bathroom alone.
He's not really suited to go out and meet people right now.
Mu Zhou couldn't help but smile as she watched his retreating figure.
I told you not to touch me first thing in the morning.

Mu Zhou walked on the beach wearing a coat, and Xiao Lin waved excitedly at her:
"Come on!"
Mu Zhou walked over and saw that everyone was gathered around one of the wooden houses.
This was Lu Ting's residence.
Xiaolin said with a look of disdain:
"They're shameless."
Mu Zhou looked at Jiang Wanqing, who was slumped on the ground.
She was already crying her eyes out, wrapped in a thin blanket, but it was clear that she wasn't wearing any clothes underneath.
Standing by the bed, Lu Ting was shirtless, his face full of anger, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Upon seeing Mu Zhou, his face paled, and he was about to approach:
"Zhouzhou, it's not like that, don't misunderstand..."
Xiaolin quickly stepped in front of Muzhou, glaring at him coldly:
"What do you mean? You're really something. During the day you said you'd bring your secretary to explain things and make sure you were completely innocent, but by night you were rolling around in bed together. I've known you for over twenty years, and I've never realized you were such a wicked person."
Lu Ting was eager to explain, but Mu Zhou's expressionless face made him feel guilty.
He could only turn back to look at Jiang Wanqing and angrily rebuke her:
"You got me drunk last night, and I was so drunk I just fell asleep. Don't frame me!"
Jiang Wanqing said nothing, only cried silently, looking quite pitiful.
The others present made sarcastic remarks:
"Lu Ting, are you even a man? You dare to do it but not admit it."
"Exactly, she couldn't have made those marks on herself, could she? So you weren't even that drunk."
Lu Ting's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Jiang Wanqing's exposed shoulder, which was covered with red marks.
He was on the verge of a breakdown.
how so……
Last night, after having a drink, he felt much better.
He fantasized that Mu Zhou had forgiven him and that they would be back to normal.
Mu Zhou finally believed in his innocence and Jiang Wanqing's innocence and stopped doubting him.
Everything has returned to what it was before.
When Jiang Wanqing offered him another drink, he didn't refuse.
He didn't know how much he had drunk in the end. Finally, Jiang Wanqing helped him back to his room.
After that, he knew nothing more.
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Wanqing was naked in his arms.
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and threw the person off the bed.
Jiang Wanqing's crying attracted other people.
At that moment, Lu Ting knew that it was truly over between him and Mu Zhou.
He glared angrily at Jiang Wanqing, wishing he could tear her to pieces.
It's all her fault!
Looking at the hatred in his eyes, Jiang Wanqing felt a sense of satisfaction, but soon she was overwhelmed by sorrow.
How could he be so heartless to her?
At this moment, Lu Ting disregarded his aloof and indifferent persona and hurled insults at her, cursing her with the most vicious words.
Jiang Wanqing finally couldn't take it anymore.
"How can you blame everything on me? You provoked me first, you made me fall in love with you, you treated me with great care and special attention, and you gave me hope. You were the one who started this whole thing, so why are you blaming everything on me!"
Lu Ting was so angry that his fists trembled after being falsely accused.
"Don't make false accusations. I have never overstepped my bounds in the slightest. I have only ever loved Mu Zhou from beginning to end!"
"You're talking nonsense! You clearly treat me differently. Otherwise, why would you take such good care of me at the company? Why didn't you refute the claims made by the people at the branch office that I was one of your people?"
Lu Ting was speechless, and for a moment he felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.
His self-righteous care was actually seen as favoritism and love by others and Jiang Wanqing.
No wonder Mu Zhou is always so angry.
He suddenly regretted it.
Just then, Lu Chen arrived at Mu Zhou's side.
He had taken a shower again, and a few strands of wet hair clung to his forehead.
Even my glasses fogged up slightly.
His usually cold and aloof face inexplicably carried a hint of fragility.
He stood behind Mu Zhou, looking down at her as if he didn't care about anything else.
Lu Ting's gaze was unconsciously drawn to them.
Watching the two of them huddle together intimately and whisper to each other, I felt a little breathless.
Jiang Wanqing felt even more resentful when she saw that he was still paying attention to Mu Zhou at this time.
"Lu Ting, I was the one who fell in love with you first, you were the one who saved me, so why did you fall in love with someone else?"
Her cries were heart-wrenching, and she recklessly revealed her hidden past.
