He took several steps back before Liu Ergou could clearly make out the person facing him.
Who else could it be if not Lu Shuangyue?
Seeing the panicked look on Liu Ergou's face, Lu Shuangyue let out a giggle.
"HAHAHA, what's wrong, Er Gou? Are you scared?"
Hearing Lu Shuangyue's words, Liu Ergou rolled his eyes exaggeratedly. "Who wouldn't be scared with you getting that close? Anyone who isn't must be a fool!"
His somewhat reproachful words only made Lu Shuangyue laugh more heartily. "HAHAHA, I didn't expect you to be such a scaredy-cat, tsk tsk tsk!"
Liu Ergou didn't react much to her words, instead bringing up what had happened the previous night. "Stop mocking me. Let's talk about you. Do you remember what happened last night?"
As soon as he spoke, Lu Shuangyue's expression froze. It took several seconds for her to react, and when she did, the smile on her face twisted into a ferocious scowl.
"How could I forget! That damn Yuan Wenkang, I never thought he could be so despicable! He actually drugged me! Damn it, I won't let him get away with this! Where is he now!"
Saying this, Lu Shuangyue leaped out of bed, ready to settle the score with Yuan Wenkang. In her agitation, she failed to notice her current state. At that moment, she didn't have a stitch on; she was completely bare.
Her sudden movement put her magnificent figure on full display before Liu Ergou. His eyes nearly popped out, and he couldn't help but swallow hard with a GULP.
Hearing the sound, Lu Shuangyue turned her head to look at Liu Ergou. When she saw him staring intently at her, she finally realized she wasn't wearing any clothes.
"AH!" she screamed and scrambled back onto the bed.
"Stop looking, stop looking! Close your eyes, I'm not dressed!" she snapped at him, annoyed.
Her words snapped Liu Ergou back to his senses, and he let out a sly chuckle. "Hehehe, what's happened has happened. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
At his words, Lu Shuangyue couldn't help but blush. The memory of Yuan Wenkang drugging her was vivid, but what followed was hazy. Liu Ergou's prompting made those blurry memories gradually sharpen in her mind. Thinking of it made her pretty face turn beet red.
After resting for a good while, Lu Shuangyue finally managed to sit up. Liu Ergou took this opportunity to ask, "Shuang Yue, what do you plan to do next? And how are you going to deal with Yuan Wenkang?"
As soon as he spoke, Lu Shuangyue's expression immediately darkened. "What else can I do? I can only take it one step at a time! As for that Yuan Wenkang, let's just ignore him for now. Let him be. That's all we can do at the moment."
Her words left Liu Ergou completely dumbfounded. "Wait, I don't understand what you're saying, Shuang Yue!" he asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't you tell your family about something this major? This is no small matter. Don't your parents care at all?"
At these words, Lu Shuangyue's expression visibly crumpled.
"Sigh... it's true. My parents won't get involved in the matter between me and Yuan Wenkang. They've always wanted me to marry him. The benefits of our two families joining through marriage would be unparalleled. If they found out Yuan Wenkang drugged me, they would only praise him for a job well done!"
These words left Liu Ergou dumbstruck. He had never dreamed that such parents could exist in the world.
However, for the first time, Liu Ergou felt a flicker of curiosity about Lu Shuangyue's family background. But he didn't ask, burying the question deep in his heart. He knew there were some things he wasn't meant to know just yet.
With that, Liu Ergou reached out, pulled Lu Shuangyue into his arms, and gently patted her back, whispering comforting words. "It's okay, Shuang Yue. You're my woman now. Rest assured, whatever happens, I'll always stand by your side! As for your family, I'll handle it! You must believe me!"
Hearing his words, Lu Shuangyue didn't say anything. She just smiled and buried her head deep in his chest.
The two of them shared a tender moment before separating.
Liu Ergou was the first to leave. He had received a phone call from Fu Yan, who told him there was an emergency and that he needed to return at once.
After Liu Ergou left, Lu Shuangyue sat on the bed and let out a long sigh. "Sigh... Things are getting complicated now. I can't believe Yuan Wenkang found me even hiding here. That bastard, he actually drugged me!"
As she spoke, her face flushed again, reminded of the previous night's events.
If I hadn't run into Liu Ergou... Ah!
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. She flopped onto the bed and pulled the covers over her head. "So annoying! I hate this!"
After fussing for a bit, Lu Shuangyue finally calmed down. Staring at the ceiling, she muttered softly to herself, "Sigh... At this point, I can only take things one step at a time."
