Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 5 - To Help or Not to Help a Brother in Trouble

The woman in front of her was clearly about the same age as herself, but she claimed to have grown up watching her TV dramas. Wasn't that a roundabout way of calling her old?

Moreover, she had only debuted in the past few years!

"Miss Tan Biyang, how come you're here? Could it be..." Zhuang Shuqing looked in the direction she had come from, with a meaningful smile.

Tan Biyang held back and replied with a light smile, "Our crew just happens to be filming a scene here."

"I see, in that case, I won't disturb you." Zhuang Shuqing shrugged her shoulders and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

On hearing this, Zhuang Shuqing completely ignored her. There were few people in this world who could order her around like this, let alone Tan Biyang.

"Hey, you hold it right there, did you hear me!" An exasperated voice came from behind, yet Zhuang Shuqing did not stop; instead, she walked even faster.

She pressed the elevator button, stepped in, and at the moment the doors closed, she even waved at Tan Biyang, infuriating her to the point of stomping her feet on the spot.

The corridor on the eighteenth floor returned to calm. Tan Biyang, exasperated, started walking away, but after a couple of steps, she looked back at room 1808, turned around again, and stopped at the door.

Tan Biyang thought that the person behind this door was the one who had just drunk that glass of wine. If it wasn't for her assistant's wrong room number, she should be inside now...

With this thought, she bent down pretending to fix her shoe, slowly stretching her left hand towards the door...

"Ding~"

The elevator made an abrupt sound. Tan Biyang got startled, quickly withdrew her hand, walked briskly forward, and started digging in her bag for sunglasses. At this moment, no matter who the incoming person was, she couldn't let them see her face.

Zhuang Shuqing returned with a smile plastered on her face. She had just made a brief stop on the seventeenth floor before returning to the eighteenth.

She came back to confirm how much Tan Biyang had deceived the audience, but she never expected that Tan Biyang still hadn't given up and had actually stretched out her hand.

Remembering the disheveled retreat from earlier, Zhuang Shuqing could barely contain her laughter. She turned and headed back to the elevator, but moved too hastily, and a piercing pain shot through her, forcing her to take several deep breaths to recover before tiptoeing into the elevator...

At the moment the elevator doors closed, another set of elevator doors opened, and two tall men walked out.

"Leng Yixing, you're dead meat this time."

"It's you who's dead meat! Hurry, go knock on the door."

"Why should I? It wasn't me who dawdled."

"Aren't brothers supposed to help each other out in tough times?"

"...Fine."

Leng Yixing smiled, while Gu Chen looked at the closed door with a numbing scalp. Closing his eyes, he knocked on the door a couple of times randomly, then swiftly retreated behind Leng Yixing.

The door was quickly opened from the inside, revealing a man in a towel. The man's piercing gaze swept over them, then he turned and walked inside.

Leng Yixing, with his hand on his chest and stiff resolve, walked in, while Gu Chen followed calmly behind him.

The man's aura was so formidable that once inside the suite, Leng Yixing couldn't bear to look at him directly, instead looking past him at the bed behind. As a Special Soldier, his eyesight was excellent, which under such lighting meant he could see what he ought to see and what he ought not to see.

And what a sight it was; the bed was in such disarray that, had he not known their Commander Leng to shun female company, he might have suspected something had just happened here.

"There has been an incident on the other side; I have to go back and take care of it immediately."

As he spoke, the man reached for the clothes beside him, putting them on one by one. His movements were swift and clean, even as he buttoned up, his gaze remained fixed on the two men in front of him, his whole being exuding an emperor-like authority that dominated everything around him.
