Mrs. Lu, Let’s Get Married Again - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Would a Distant Cousin Kiss You?

While the two of them were in a stalemate, the security guard of Song Ruyi’s neighborhood walked over. It was the security guard she had borrowed a phone from last time.

“Miss Song, do you need help?” He had watched them from the security booth for a long time and also saw this man kissing Song Ruyi. He originally did not want to interfere, but with the responsibility of a security guard, he was worried that something would happen to Song Ruyi, who was a homeowner here. He did not want to be held accountable by the property manager, so he came over to take a look.

Lu Jingnan glared at him. Although the small security guard was a little scared, it was their duty to face the underworld. He could not be scared.

Song Ruyi did not want to cause any more trouble. She was very embarrassed by what Lu Jingnan had done just now.

Nonetheless, Lu Jingnan still kept his word. Perhaps he really was hungry and would genuinely leave after he was full. If Song Ruyi did not agree, he would drag this out until dawn… She would not be able to mentally endure that.

Song Ruyi might as well spend half an hour feeding him then send him away.

“It’s okay. Thank you. This man is my friend. We had a small argument just now. Sorry for making you concerned,” Song Ruyi explained with a smile.

Then, in front of the security guard, she took the initiative to hold Lu Jingnan’s arm affectionately and said to him with a blooming smile, “Didn’t you say you were hungry? Let’s go upstairs. I’ll cook supper for you.” In the past, during the year of their fake marriage, she had put on many shows like this to pretend she was in love.

Now that she had to repeat the act, it was easy for her to do it.

Lu Jingnan was also very cooperative.

The young security guard finally realized that this couple’s quarrel might have been a show of affection in disguise.

Song Ruyi had lived in this neighborhood for less than a year. This was the first time he had seen such an intimate man by her side. Moreover, this man looked like quite an outstanding person at first glance.

No wonder Song Ruyi always rejected the neighborhood aunties’ good intentions. The men that the neighborhood aunties recommended could not even compare to this man tonight! After entering the unit building and ensuring that the neighborhood security guard could not see her, Song Ruyi planned to withdraw her hand from Lu Jingnan’s arm.

Despite that, just as she withdrew her hand, Lu Jingnan pulled her hand to his arm again. “It’s all part of acting. There’s a surveillance camera in this elevator. He can still see us.”

Song Ruyi. “…”

That was true, but she still felt that something was wrong. In the end, she chose to not refute.

After they entered the elevator, the door was pushed open from the outside before it was closed. Three or four hooligans with colorful hair came in. They reeked of alcohol and cigarettes.

Song Ruyi had never seen these people before.

Nevertheless, they came in and talked among themselves. They did not even look at Song Ruyi and Lu Jingnan. Song Ruyi did not want to get involved.

Even so, Lu Jingnan pushed her to the safe area of the elevator. Then, he stood in front of her and protected her in a safe area.

Song Ruyi felt a sense of relief.

She thought that if she insisted on not letting Lu Jingnan go to her house, he might have left. If she was alone in the elevator, she would feel uneasy facing these hooligans. Furthermore, she did not know what would happen. Even if the surveillance of the property was in place, if she was taken advantage of or robbed, she would not be able to call for help in time.

There were only two security guards on duty at night. Even if they found out, it would probably be too late.

Lu Jingnan listened to these hooligans’ bold and impudent conversation. It was really unbearable.

He turned around and reached out to cover Song Ruyi’s ears. Song Ruyi did not resist and stood obediently in his arms.

Lu Jingnan was upset by these hooligans, but because Song Ruyi was so obedient, he did not bother with them.

Fortunately, they went out on the sixth floor.

Song Ruyi’s house was on the ninth floor. After the hooligans left, their positions were still the same. Song Ruyi did not notice until they reached the ninth floor. With a ding, the door opened.

Her left neighbor came out to take out the trash. She heard the elevator door open and saw Song Ruyi with a man. She looked at them nosily and greeted Song Ruyi at the same time.

“Ruyi, you’re home?”

Song Ruyi came back to her senses and replied, “Yes, Auntie Shen. Are you taking out the trash?”

The residents of this small neighborhood liked to say such nonsense when they greeted each other. They liked to ask the obvious.

Song Ruyi felt a little embarrassed to be stared at like this by Auntie Shen.

However, this middle-aged aunt was just like that. She liked to say whatever she liked based on her personal interests. She could not sense the other party’s standpoint at all and could not tell if the other party was embarrassed.

“Is this your boyfriend?” Auntie Shen continued to ask.

Song Ruyi’s scalp went numb. She knew her neighbor would ask this next.

“No, this is my distant cousin. He came over to get something. He’s going back to the hotel in a while,” Song Ruyi explained in detail.

Auntie Shen nodded and went home satisfied.

As for the other thoughts in her heart, she naturally would not share them with Song Ruyi at this time.

Before Song Ruyi explained to the neighbor that Lu Jingnan was her cousin, she had silently withdrawn her hand from Lu Jingnan’s arm.

Song Ruyi opened the door to unit 902 in the middle. She lived in the middle of three households, and it was also the smallest one.

This was a one-bedroom and one-bathroom house that she had invested in last year. She had originally planned to rent it out but later, in order to earn more money, she rented out the three-bedroom house that her mother had left for her to three tenants. Every month, she would earn 3,000 yuan more in rent as income for her and Wanwan, and they spent less rent on their smaller apartment.

After entering this apartment that was about the size of a sparrow’s nest, Lu Jingnan felt extremely depressed.

Song Ruyi was living in such a small apartment with a child?

That said, Lu Jingnan did not want to ask. Instead, he wanted to find out what a certain person had said to her neighbor just now.

Song Ruyi squatted down to take a pair of slippers. It was a new pair of women’s slippers. She had never thought of preparing men’s slippers at all.

She stood up and was about to tell Lu Jingnan to make do. He would not spend the night anyway. Who knew, the moment she stood up, Lu Jingnan forced her to lean against the wall.

Song Ruyi stepped back subconsciously. Lu Jingnan’s hand was placed directly on top of her head, giving her immense pressure.

“Would your distant cousin kiss you?” Lu Jingnan leaned in and asked shamelessly.

Song Ruyi recalled the scene of this person kissing her at the entrance of the residential area just now. It was just their mouths touching each other, and neither of them moved. It was not even considered a kiss at all. She did not think much of it when Lu Jingnan did not say anything about it. Now that he reminded her, she became shy again. Her ears turned red.

“Do you think it’s embarrassing for me to be your boyfriend?” Lu Jingnan raised his eyebrow and continued to pursue the matter.

He wanted to rip open this woman’s heart and see what was inside.

Song Ruyi’s neighbor had just casually asked her a question just now. Seeing that she wanted nothing more than to clear her name immediately, Lu Jingnan was furious.

“It’s not that I’m embarrassed; it’s that I think I’m unworthy,” Song Ruyi answered honestly.

To Song Ruyi, he was indeed unworthy of their relationship.
