Pregnant and Divorced by My Disabled Husband

73: Chapter 73: The Lipstick Mark on Lu Youting’s Collar 73: Chapter 73: The Lipstick Mark on Lu Youting’s Collar Upon hearing about going to Red Maple Leaf, Jian Si didn’t hesitate to refuse, “No way, I’m not going!

With my face looking like this, how could I go?

Do you want everyone to know I’ve been beaten up?”

Lu Youting: “…??”

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Jian Si added, “If you want to go, you go, Xiao Bai and I won’t.”

Lu Youting felt her reasoning was sound.

The swelling on Jian Si’s face had subsided considerably, but the clear handprint was still visible, along with bite marks on her neck and collarbone, which could lead to misunderstandings.

After briefly pondering, he decisively took out his phone and sent messages to Gu Yuchen and Shen Xiuyi.

“Jian Si is sick, I need to take care of her and Xiao Bai so we’re not coming, you guys have fun!”

Gu Yuchen, who had agreed enthusiastically, didn’t expect Lu Youting to back out.

“Little sister-in-law is sick, what happened to her?

Let me and Second Brother go to see her!

We’ve been wanting to visit her ever since she returned to Jiangcheng.”

Worried they would actually come and bother Jian Si, Lu Youting’s handsome face darkened, and he replied with another message.

“Eight o’clock, don’t be late.”

Gu Yuchen: “…?”

Shen Xiuyi: “Big Brother, why don’t you let us see little sister-in-law?

Why are you hiding her so securely?”

Lu Youting showed impatience: “Quit the nonsense, I’ll be there at eight o’clock sharp.”

Gu Yuchen and Shen Xiuyi sensed something unusual, and tactfully didn’t ask any further questions.

After ending the chat, Lu Youting, still concerned, cautioned Jian Si.

“Second Brother and Third are too persistent, I will still make the trip, but you and Xiao Bai should not return home tonight, get some rest early.

I’ve sent two bodyguards to stand by the door to protect you, call me if anything happens.

I will come back as soon as I can.”

These words were like those of a husband speaking to his wife.

Jian Si was momentarily taken aback, a blush spreading across her cheeks, “I’ll be fine here at the hospital with Xiao Bai, you should just go straight home after you’re done tonight!

We can take care of ourselves, we have hands and feet.”

“I’ll go back to take a shower, then head straight to Red Maple Leaf.” With those words, Lu Youting’s thin lips pressed into a line, and after giving her a deep look, he turned and left the sickroom.

Jian Si wasn’t sure if he had truly listened to her words.

After this incident, her relationship with Lu Youting seemed to have subtly changed.

Between them, it was as if a veil hung, vaguely visible, yet unbroken.

…

That night, Lu Youting returned to the hospital close to midnight.

His mood appeared very good, having drunk quite a bit, his whole body swaying drunkenly as he walked.

Jian Si was cuddling with Lu Yanbai, fast asleep, and upon hearing the noise, she immediately opened her eyes warily.

The silver glow of the moonlight streamed through the glass windows, enveloping Lu Youting and taking away his chill, adding a hint of warmth.

Worried that he would wake Lu Yanbai, Jian Si gently got out of bed and approached, helping him to sit on the sofa, and whispered, “Are you drunk?”

Lu Youting, rubbing his temples, nodded, “I drank a bit too much tonight.”

For some reason, he was in particularly good spirits.

Like he was unburdened, an unprecedented sense of relief filled him.

“I understand how you feel!

Since it’s all in the past, try not to think about it anymore.” Jian Si thought he was feeling down about annuling his engagement with Ye Qingqing and wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

“Mmm!” Lu Youting’s head was a bit fuzzy and he didn’t catch the hidden meaning in her words.

Jian Si poured him a glass of water, “Since you’re drunk, why didn’t you go home?

Xiao Bai is with me, you don’t trust that?”

Lu Youting took the tea and drank it down in one gulp.

Even though it was plain water, it tasted subtly sweet in his mouth.

Jian Si poured another glass for him, “I’ll stay here and sleep with Xiao Bai tonight, you go sleep in the sickroom next door.”

Lu Youting did not utter a sound, and after another glass of cool boiled water went down, he seemed to sober up a lot.

Jian Si placed the water cup on the coffee table and saw him sitting there in a daze without any sign of leaving.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you feeling unwell?

Let me help you over there!”

As she spoke, she bent down to grab his arm.

Lu Youting bowed his head, his expression hidden in the darkness.

The moment her hand touched his body, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, flipped over, and pressed her beneath him.

A strong smell of alcohol rushed to her face.

A dangerous aura permeated the air.

Jian Si’s face stern, she said discontentedly, “Lu Youting, what are you trying to do?”

Lu Youting looked at the small face close to his, his eyes gradually becoming fiery.

With a “click,” Jian Si had a bad feeling.

After two years of marriage, she knew this look all too well.

Just as she tried to push him away and escape, his thin lips had already invaded hers.

Before Jian Si had the chance to dodge, he caught her red lips with a kiss.

“Pop”—it was as if something in her head exploded.

After a brief blankness came fierce struggling.

She desperately pounded on his chest, vehemently resisting his touch.

“Lu Youting, what do you take me for?

Let go of me now, or I’ll get angry.”

Lu Youting pressed against her red lips and said, “I don’t take you for anyone, you are you, you are Jian Si.”

His low voice, raspy and filled with barely perceptible tension.

Jian Si’s attractive eyebrows twisted tightly together: “You’re drunk.”

Lu Youting’s rough hands cradled her small face, his warm breath spraying on her face as he softly said, “Jian Si, I’m not drunk, I know I’m kissing you, I’m not being promiscuous because of the alcohol, I truly want to kiss you from my heart.”

It felt as if something in Jian Si’s chest was painfully splitting apart.

In the two years they had been married, Lu Youting had never treated her like this.

In that moment, her throat felt blocked and her eyes welled up with a bitter feeling.

Lu Youting gazed at her with deep affection; their eyes locked and the atmosphere became as steamy as it could get.

“Thump, thump.”

The room was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing and heartbeats.

Seeing that she no longer resisted, Lu Youting kissed her lips again.

His kiss was skilled; different from the previous rough and domineering one, this time it was long and gentle, as if savoring the most delicious delicacy in the world, bit by bit, from shallow to deep.

The crisp mint fragrance filled her nostrils.

Looking at the flawlessly beautiful face before him, Jian Si’s mind turned to mush under his siege, completely losing her ability to think, gradually getting lost in his kiss.

Feeling her succumb, Lu Youting grew bolder.

His tongue daringly pried open her teeth, rampaging as if conquering territory without restraint.

Jian Si wrapped her arms around his neck, involuntarily responding to him.

Her response made Lu Youting’s blood surge, a current zipping through his entire body, converging in a certain place, thrilling him to the very tip of his heart.

His long fingers expertly began to undo the buttons of her hospital gown.

Things were quickly getting out of control.

Amidst her passion, in the corner of her eye, Jian Si inadvertently caught sight of the lipstick mark on his collar.

The sight abruptly snapped her back to reality, her heart feeling icy cold.

The faint scent of a lady’s perfume wafted into her nose, nauseating her so much she wanted to vomit, and with a repulsed push, she shoved him away.

Caught off guard, Lu Youting fell from the sofa onto the floor.
