After Marriage (GL) - Chapter 11

Lu Hejing was a businesswoman. Everything tonight was just a show she put on to achieve her goals. Her thoughtfulness and tenderness toward Lin Ning were all within her expectations.

Even if the leg-kneading hadn’t happened, something else would have.

The leg-kneading was outside her plan but was simply her going with the flow. It seemed to be working well now.

But Lin Ning’s feelings were different.

She didn’t know this was a play directed by Lu Hejing, so when faced with Lu Hejing’s thoughtfulness and gentleness, she couldn’t help but fall head over heels.

Everything tonight made her feel somewhat dazed, a feeling that Lu Hejing genuinely liked her.

So the indifference she felt in the car tonight must have been her own misconception.

It was all her fault for thinking Lu Hejing was too fierce, which led to that misconception. The real Lu Hejing was actually a gentle older sister, right? In that case, maybe she could ask about what happened that night.

The banquet ended very late, and Lin Ning and Lu Hejing went home together.

On the way, Lu Hejing seemed a bit tired, closing her eyes and resting in the back. Lin Ning sat next to her, watching her.

Lin Ning was also a little dizzy, but she felt she could hold on.

Perhaps it was because her eyes were closed, but this version of Lu Hejing lost some of her glamour, appearing much softer.

Even with a straight face, she didn’t look fierce at all. Why did she think Lu Hejing was fierce that afternoon?

To accommodate Lu Hejing, the car lights weren’t on. Only the dim light from the streetlights outside filtered through the windows, illuminating the car’s interior.

The dim light made it hard for Lin Ning to see Lu Hejing’s face clearly. She thought Lu Hejing was asleep, and the driver in front was focused on driving, so she boldly leaned closer to Lu Hejing, wanting to get a clearer look.

The more Lin Ning looked, the more she realized how beautiful Lu Hejing truly was.

How could she not be beautiful? What was it like to be a business magnate who had countless fans just for her looks?

As a successful businesswoman, Lu Hejing was frequently interviewed by business and finance magazines, usually monthly.

As the face of the Lu Corporation, she couldn’t pass up free publicity, so she cooperated as much as possible with interviews. And each time, the magazines featuring her interviews always sold significantly more copies than those featuring other entrepreneurs.

The reason was simple: Lu Hejing was simply too beautiful.

The entertainment industry was not short of young and beautiful celebrities, but in this era, beauty backed by talent was even more captivating.

In this age where same-s3x marriage was legal, a considerable number of people would scream “My President!” and “Wife!” in the comments of Lu Corporation’s official microblog, constantly asking for beautiful photos of their President.

Every time a video of Lu Hejing’s interview was reposted, the comment section would be flooded with declarations of “husband,” “wife,” and “sister,” and “I can do it” comments drowned out everything else.

Lin Ning had always known Lu Hejing was beautiful, but seeing her up close now, she found her even more stunning.

Just looking at her made her blush and her heart pound.

While Lin Ning’s face was flushed and her heart was pounding from looking, Lu Hejing was getting a headache.

Lu Hejing wasn’t asleep; she just didn’t want to deal with Lin Ning after getting in the car, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

She thought that if she closed her eyes, Lin Ning would be more well-behaved, but she never expected to be so openly stared at for the entire ride.

Lu Hejing was already sensitive to her surroundings, so it would have been strange if she hadn’t noticed Lin Ning’s blatant staring.

Then she even leaned closer to look, which made Lu Hejing even more speechless. She could only carry on with her feigned sleep.

In the end, she even ostentatiously turned her body to the side, presenting the back of her head to Lin Ning, blocking the other’s view.

She had been so shy just a moment ago, so why was she so bold now when looking at her?

Lu Hejing had a headache.

This girl really likes me.

Headache, truly a headache.

So, isn’t tonight just adding fuel to the fire?

Headache.
