After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 20

After leaving the Song family residence, Li Zhen got into a taxi and couldn't help urging the driver, "Master, go faster, even faster please."

The driver was a man with a simple and honest appearance. After a while, he sighed and said, "Miss, it's only been thirteen minutes and you've said 'faster' thirty-three times already."

Li Zhen smiled awkwardly, "Sorry Master, I'm in a hurry..."

In a hurry to get back and make a baby!

If I'm late, the artificial man will stop working!

Men have an innate patience towards beautiful women. If the driver hadn't seen that Li Zhen was a pretty young lady, he would have scolded her already. "Sorry, this is as fast as I can go. If you're really in that much of a rush, why not call the traffic bureau and ask them to send a helicopter for you?"

"Haha, Master you really have a sense of humor." Li Zhen laughed twice, realizing that only her awkward laughter echoed in the car.

She pursed her lips awkwardly.

Two seconds later, she suddenly gave a soft sob and cried out, "Master, there's no point in hiding it from you anymore..."

The driver immediately pricked up his ears.

"My husband...he's...clinging to his last breath, waiting for me!" Li Zhen covered her face with both hands, crying sorrowfully.

The driver glanced at the destination on his app, looking puzzled. "He's down to his last breath, but he's not in the hospital, he's at home?"

Li Zhen: ...

Don't panic, she can still make something up.

Ah no, she can still say...

Li Zhen: "Master, there are some things you don't know. My husband makes a lot of money, and with money he often goes to some unsavory establishments. As a result he caught..."

What kind of illness could make a young man be left with just one breath?

Li Zhen's brain spun rapidly.

The driver was hooked and quickly asked: "What illness is that?"

"Yes, yes, that illness!"

"Ah...that illness can't be cured, and the medical fees are expensive too..."

Li Zhen sobbed loudly, "That's right! We sold our two homes just to pay for his treatment, but he still couldn't be cured. Our family doesn't have a penny left, we've borrowed all we can..." Master, the traffic light is green, drive first... So he can only stay at home, hanging on to his last breath."

After the driver got through the intersection, he said indignantly: "And you're still rushing to see him!"

"Master, he was unkind, I can't be unrighteous..." He sent me a message asking if I ever loved him. I want to tell him in person..." Li Zhen wept bitterly and mournfully.

The driver sighed lightly, "It's rare to have such a dutiful woman like you!"

"I just don't know if I'll get to see him one last time..." Li Zhen continued weeping in the back seat, but was frantically chanting in her heart, "All the gods I'm casually lying to, don't take it seriously, I'm begging you to bless Lu Yanming with a long life of a hundred years using 0.001 years of my own lifespan."

Then she peeked at the driver through the gap between her fingers covering her face.

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish!" The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, his gaze burning bright. "Buckle up and hold on tight, let's go!"

Li Zhen was overjoyed and hurriedly sat up straight.

The driver slammed the gas pedal down.

With a sudden "boom"...

The car...

Stalled.

Li Zhen, who was just about to take off: ...

The driver, who was ready to show his skills: ...

The driver: "Ahem, sorry about that, my car is getting on in years."

Li Zhen: "No need to explain, I can see that."

"Your husband's last breath, you probably won't get to see it now."

"With the car like this, you're still thinking about my husband?"

The driver: "Do you want to send him a message telling him if you ever loved him or not?"

Li Zhen: ...I wasted 0.001 years coming up with this story!

-

Li Zhen took another taxi and rushed into the elevator when she reached the building.

Glancing at the time, it was exactly 10:00.

Exiting the elevator, she took out her keys and precisely inserted them into the lock.

With a "click", the door opened.

Li Zhen threw down her handbag and panted, "Boss Lu, I'm back."

On the sofa in the living room, Lu Yanming sat leisurely with his tall, long-legged figure. Without even turning his head from the TV, he said, "It's one minute past ten, you're late."

Li Zhen was still catching her breath. "I want to appeal! The first car I took broke down."

Lu Yanming glanced back at her, speaking in a steady, businesslike tone. "I only look at results."

Li Zhen couldn't swallow. She had the urge to point at Lu Yanming's nose and curse at him.

One minute late was unacceptable?

He didn't only look at results, he was clearly putting pressure on her!

She took several deep breaths to suppress her temper before walking over with a smile. "Boss Lu, one minute isn't that big a deal..."

"Human life is short as a white colt's shadow passing a crack. Every second only comes once, and is gone after - precious beyond compare," Lu Yanming turned his head back and calmly pressed the remote, changing the channel. He continued unhurriedly, "What's more, one minute - that's 60 precious seconds."

Li Zhen gritted her teeth fiercely.

No matter how illogical, Lu Yanming could make it sound like the truth.

She was so angry she could die.

But when she thought that it would be her child being able to arrogantly and logically talk back to the heavens and earth in the future, she came back to life!

My child, the price your mother has paid for you to have extraordinary genes is too great.

"This TV show is pretty good..." Li Zhen walked over, deciding to watch TV with him first to get closer.

"It's a commercial right now." Lu Yanming's expression didn't change as he spoke.

Li Zhen was rendered speechless immediately.

He was watching commercials too!

She took another step, about to sit down, when her skirt suddenly got caught on the coffee table.

Li Zhen's expression shifted, and before she could react, she suddenly fell into Lu Yanming's arms.

Her face just happened to crash into his crotch.

Lu Yanming suppressed a muffled, agonized groan, glancing down. From this angle looking at her bowed head in his arms, his blood instantly boiled.

Li Zhen silently cried out, not daring to move.

"Aren't you going to get up?" Lu Yanming's temple was jumping as he hoarsely hauled her by the nape of her neck to his side.

Li Zhen's face turned crimson. She worriedly asked, "Sorry, Boss Lu...I didn't break anything, did I?"

He wasn't doing great to begin with, what if she had crippled him completely!

Wouldn't she have to compensate him for life?

She opened her eyes wide and craned her head to look over.

Lu Yanming got up and retreated back two steps, taking a deep breath to calm himself. He let out an amused laugh, "What are you looking at there?"

Was she set on stirring up trouble if she didn't tease him?

"Sorry, sorry." Li Zhen quickly withdrew her gaze.

Lu Yanming's voice was slightly hoarse in his throat. "I don't need to unlock new ways to play for now. You don't have to be so proactive."

Li Zhen's expression froze slightly. Her face flushed as she explained dryly, "I'm just hungry since I haven't eaten. I don't have much energy when walking."

She was too embarrassed to say her skirt got caught.

That would sound too silly.

"Who have you been with these last few days, that they don't even give you meals every time? Yet you still follow them around expectantly..."

Lu Yanming seemed to just be complaining idly, not listening to her explanation at all. After speaking, he strolled towards the kitchen. "I'll make some simple late-night snacks."

He glanced back at her. "Go take a shower. You can eat after showering."

With Lu Yanming's height and long legs, after saying that he took two or three steps and was already in the kitchen.

Li Zhen watched his disappearing back and suddenly realized...Lu Yanming, he's so considerate!

Was this the "top-tier husband material" that colleagues talked about?
