Chapter 411: I’m Jealous of Him

Liu Fanglan bailing at the last minute sent Luo Bin into a rage once again. He knew exactly what it meant. She had left so early in the morning, obviously just dragging her feet to avoid going across the way to apologize!

But was this something she could just put off and ignore? ’Stupid woman! What a complete fool!’

Luo Bin himself wanted to go apologize, but the one who should be doing it was Liu Fanglan. With her gone, he was afraid that even if he went over, they would just see it as a lack of sincerity.

The last thing he wanted was to convey his apology poorly and end up making them even more furious.

Besides, Luo Bin hadn’t taken time off from work. It was impossible for him to find Liu Fanglan now and drag her over to apologize. He had no choice but to go to work first and look for her after he managed to request some leave.

’I just hope that foolish wife of mine doesn’t cause any more trouble in the meantime!’

Meanwhile, Lu Cheng and Shen Nian—the very people Luo Bin was so worried about apologizing to—were at home, enjoying a cozy, intimate world of their own.

Savoring the lunch Lu Cheng had made with his own hands, Shen Nian was in high spirits. She even temporarily pushed yesterday’s worries to the back of her mind.

But a worry was still a worry. She could only push it aside temporarily; eventually, it would have to be resolved.

Besides, she had encountered more than one problem yesterday. There were rumor-mongers at the company, and outside of it, there was a predator lying in wait.

Shen Nian didn’t want Lu Cheng to find out from someone else, which would only upset him. She’d much rather tell him herself.

So, after lunch, Shen Nian told Lu Cheng all about going out with Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying yesterday and running into Meng Chengyu on the way back.

Of course, Shen Nian didn’t forget to tell Lu Cheng that she had called Chu Yunze for help.

Sure enough, upon hearing about Meng Chengyu’s shameless and calculating actions, Lu Cheng’s face instantly darkened. Thankfully, Shen Nian had been clever enough to keep Meng Chengyu from succeeding, which made his expression lighten just a little.

"You did the right thing. In the future, if I’m not around, you can call Yunze."

Lu Cheng felt a pang of jealousy toward his good friend. His own wife had needed him, and he couldn’t be there for her. But at the same time, he was grateful. At least his wife hadn’t been left to face that conniving man alone.

’Still, that Meng Chengyu... How dare he have designs on my wife? I let him off way too easily last time. He got off lucky!’

’Just you wait. I’ll make him understand. If you dare to target my wife, you’d better be ready to pay the price!’

’My wife is mine. No one is allowed to touch her! They can’t even think about it!’

"Yeah, I know. But please thank Brother Yunze for me next time. I really put him out today."

"Nini."

Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian, speaking her name softly before pulling her into his arms.

"I’m jealous of him!"

"What? Jealous of who?"

’He can’t be jealous of Chu Yunze, can he? They’re best friends!’

"I hate that I can’t just appear in front of you the moment you need me!"

But his job meant that so much was out of his control.

Shen Nian smiled. She understood the source of his frustration.

"I know. You carry so many heavy responsibilities. My man is a true, larger-than-life hero!"
