I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 88
byChapter 88 So charming
Xie Shuhan put down his bowl and chopsticks after he was probably full. He took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his lips. When he raised his eyes, he met Lu Jin’s burning eyes. He couldn’t help but curl his lips: “What are you looking at?”
“Look at how beautiful my precious wife is.” Lu Jin confidently stretched out his hand to hold Xie Shuhan’s hand that was resting on the coffee table. His fingertips rubbed the delicate skin on his wrist, and the smile in his eyes was too thick to disappear.
“How’s the stew of these ribs? I asked the chef to stew them for half an hour longer, just because you didn’t think they were tender enough.”
“It’s delicious.” Xie Shuhan held his hand back and gently hooked his palm with his fingertips, the tenderness between his brows and eyes almost overflowing.
Lu Jin was elated by his compliment and was about to lean in for a kiss when someone suddenly knocked on the door of the office.
The crisp sound of knuckle tapping broke the lingering atmosphere in the room.
“Come in.” Xie Shuhan’s voice quickly returned to its usual coldness and calmness, but there was still a hint of imperceptible warmth in the end.
The door was gently pushed open, and a slender figure walked in on high heels.
The person who came was Gu Yue, a junior trainee lawyer in the law firm. He was young, in his early twenties, with long chestnut hair permed into natural curls, hanging softly on his shoulders, making his small, palm-sized face look even more cute.
She was wearing a light pink professional suit, with a friendly and sweet smile on her face. She was holding an exquisite thermos bucket in her hand. Her eyes fell directly on Xie Shuhan, as if she didn’t see Lu Jin sitting next to the sofa at all.
“Lawyer Xie,” Gu Yue’s voice was soft and charming, with just the right smile. She walked to the desk in a few steps and gently placed the thermos bucket on the table.
“I passed by Yunxinlou this morning and saw their new Tremella, Lily and Lotus Seed Soup. I heard it is particularly nourishing and moisturizing, so I brought you one. Do you want to try it?”
As she spoke, she reached out to unscrew the lid of the thermos bucket, with a hint of attentiveness in her movements.
Xie Shuhan looked at the thermos bucket with the Yunxinlou logo on the table, and said in a polite but distant tone: “Lawyer Gu, thank you for your kindness. I’ve already had lunch.”
His eyes fell on the dishes on the coffee table that had not yet been cleared away, and the implication was self-evident.
Gu Yue’s movements froze for a moment, and then her eyes slowly swept across the coffee table. When she saw the bowls and plates filled with leftover soup, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly covered it up.
She raised her eyes and looked at Xie Shuhan, the smile on her face was still sweet: “It doesn’t matter, I put it in a thermos box, and the insulation effect is very good. You can drink it when you are tired from work in the afternoon.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly chuckled.
The laughter was not loud, but it clearly broke the delicate silence in the office.
Gu Yue seemed to have just discovered Lu Jin’s existence, and turned her eyes to him, with a bit of inquiry and vigilance in her eyes.
Lu Jin stood up slowly, walked to Xie Shuhan, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his waist naturally, and squeezed his waist gently with his fingertips.
He was wearing a black casual suit, his silver hair shone in the sunlight, his eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his lips were curved with a smile that was not a smile. He looked at Gu Yue with a hint of teasing in his eyes: “Miss, I’m really sorry. My wife has a small appetite. She was very full at noon. I’m afraid she won’t be able to eat this bowl of soup in the afternoon.”
He deliberately emphasized the word “wife”, and the final sound was slightly raised, with a hint of declaring sovereignty.
After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yue again, with a lazy tone: “But if you don’t mind, as his husband, I can try this Yunxinlou’s new soup for him.”
The corner of Gu Yue’s mouth twitched suddenly, and the smile on his face almost failed to hold on.
She never expected that this man who seemed to have a strong aura was actually Xie Shuhan’s partner.
She heard gossip from her colleagues in the law firm that Lawyer Xie’s husband had come to visit the class, and thought it was a joke made up by everyone.
After all, Xie Shuhan always looks cold and ascetic on weekdays, and he doesn’t look like someone who would be with a man.
But the scene in front of her suddenly shattered all the illusions in her heart.
She tightened her fingers on the handle of the thermos bucket slightly, and her knuckles turned white. There was obvious displeasure in her beautiful eyes, but she still forced a smile to look at Xie Shuhan, with a hint of grievance in her voice: “Lawyer Xie, this soup is really delicious. I waited in line for a long time to buy it. Don’t you really want to try it?”
There was a hint of pleading in her tone, as if she was unwilling to give up.
Xie Shuhan looked at her like this, his tone was still polite, but he was a little more firm: “It’s really no need, Lawyer Gu. I accept your offer, but you should keep the soup and drink it yourself.”
The repeated rejections were like a basin of cold water, dousing the last glimmer of hope in Gu Yue’s heart.
She bit her lower lip and looked at the close look of Xie Shuhan and Lu Jin standing looking at each other. She felt her eyes burning and almost shed tears.
After all, she was too embarrassed to stay any longer. She smiled stiffly, lifted the thermos bucket on the table, and said in a low voice, “Then I won’t disturb Lawyer Xie’s work.”
Then he turned around, stepped on his high heels, and walked out of the office almost as if he was running away.
It wasn’t until the office door was gently closed that Lu Jin lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, reached out and pinched the tips of his red ears, his eyes full of smiles: “Lawyer Xie, you are very charming. People like you.”
There was a bit of sourness in his tone, but he couldn’t hide his pride.
Xie Shuhan reached out and slapped his hand away, looking at him helplessly and amusedly: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Xie Shuhan turned around, put his arms around Lu Jin’s neck, and looked up at him. The smile in his eyes was so gentle that it could kill people: “But I like you, Mr. Lu.”
This short sentence was like a piece of candy, instantly sweetening Lu Jin’s heart.
He lowered his head and kissed Xie Shuhan hard on the lips. He tossed and turned for a moment before letting go. The tip of his nose touched the tip of his nose. His voice was hoarse and tender: “Lawyer Xie is really rare.”
Xie Shuhan’s cheeks felt hot from his kiss, and she stretched out her hand to push his chest, but her eyes were full of smiles: “Okay, stop making trouble, I have a meeting to hold in the afternoon.”
He paused, looked at Lu Jin again, and explained seriously: “Lawyer Gu is an excellent lawyer. He has achieved great results at a young age. He often represents children’s cases. Sometimes he refuses to charge attorney fees when other people’s families are too difficult. He is a person with a sense of justice, but he is also very young at the same time. He may not know what true love is, so Ah Jin, don’t be jealous.”
Lu Jin looked at his serious look, and the little awkwardness in his heart instantly disappeared.
He nodded, reached out and hugged Xie Shuhan tightly into his arms, resting his chin on the top of his hair, and said in a muffled voice, “Yes, I know.”
On the other side, Gu Yue returned to her small office.
She slammed the door and slid to the ground with her back against the door panel, still holding the thermos bucket tightly in her hand.
There was no one in the office, so she couldn’t bear it anymore. Her eyes turned red, her mouth tightened, and big tears rolled down her face.
She fell in love with Xie Shuhan from the first day she entered the law firm.
I like his cold and ascetic appearance, his confidence in speaking in court, and his politeness in dealing with others.
She had been paying attention to him silently, not daring to express her feelings. She only dared to secretly inquire about his preferences, hoping to catch his attention one day.
Today, she heard that her husband came to visit her class. She felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, but she was still holding on to a bit of luck and thought it was just a rumor.
But the scene she just witnessed shattered all her illusions.
The way Xie Shuhan looked at that man was so gentle that she had never seen him before.
She sat on the ground and felt sad for a while. When her tears gradually stopped, she sniffed.
The thermos bucket in my arms felt warm to the touch, and the sweet fragrance of Yunxinlou floated faintly through the barrel.
As she smelled the fragrance, she realized that she was a little hungry.
She stood up, walked to her desk, placed the thermos bucket on the table, and unscrewed the lid angrily.
The rich sweet aroma spread instantly. The soft glutinousness of white fungus, the fragrance of lily, and the sweetness of lotus seeds mixed together to whet one’s appetite.
She picked up the spoon, took a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The sweet but not greasy taste melted on the tip of her tongue.
But as she ate, her eyes became red again.
Why?
She was unwilling to give in.
She is obviously gentler and more considerate than that man, and is more suitable for Xie Shuhan.
Gu Yue bit her lower lip, put down the spoon suddenly, took out a tissue and wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth, took out the lipstick from her bag, and carefully touched up her makeup while looking at the screen of her phone.
Seeing her delicate and sweet self restored to the screen, she took a deep breath, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes.
She still wants to fight for it again.
[Guess, everyone, is Gu Yue good or bad? Hehehe, there is a computer final exam today, so I will update one chapter. Thank you for your understanding!】
