Chapter 63: Chapter 63: He Hasn’t Had His Fill of Looking at His Own Wife
After kicking the human trafficker to the ground, Lu Cheng quickly subdued him and handed him over to the police.
Only then did he turn and walk over to Shen Nian.
"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Lu Cheng gripped Shen Nian’s shoulders, his face tense as he spoke. All the while, his eyes scanned her from head to toe, terrified she might have been hurt.
"I’m fine. As long as you’re here, nothing can happen to me!"
Shen Nian said with a smile as she looked at Lu Cheng.
The whole purpose of her trip had been to find Lu Cheng, yet she never expected to run into him here.
She had been through such a heart-pounding ordeal, but it had also brought her right to Lu Cheng’s side!
Shen Nian felt not a hint of resentment; instead, her heart was filled with joy.
’It seems even the heavens are on our side!’
"You say you’re not hurt, but this... Does it hurt?"
As he spoke, Lu Cheng reached out and gently brushed his fingers over the thin, bloody scratch on Shen Nian’s neck.
’I’m so useless. If only I’d been a little faster, a little stronger, she never would have been hurt.’
"Huh? It doesn’t hurt. What’s wrong with my neck?"
Shen Nian truly hadn’t felt a thing, but Lu Cheng didn’t look like he was making it up. She could even feel his hand trembling where it touched her neck; he was clearly shaken by the close call.
’Could there really be a cut on my neck?’
"It’s a small cut. I’ll take you to get it treated."
With that, Lu Cheng took Shen Nian’s hand and started to lead her away.
But as they turned, they saw that the surrounding men hadn’t left just because the trafficker had been captured.
At that moment, they were all staring intently at Lu Cheng and Shen Nian.
It couldn’t be helped. They had never seen this tender side of their group leader before! Forget them, probably no one in the entire company had ever witnessed it!
’We have to get a good look at such a rare sight! It’ll be worth it, even if the group leader punishes us with extra drills later!’
However, sneaking a peek behind the group leader’s back was one thing; gawking at him to his face was another matter entirely.
When Lu Cheng turned and his gaze fell upon them, each man shivered.
"Hello, Boss Lady!"
A voice called out from the crowd, and the others, quickly catching on, all shouted loudly toward Shen Nian.
"Hello, Boss Lady!"
The moment Lu Cheng turned and saw his subordinates staring, he realized just how intimate he’d been with Shen Nian—and he was still holding her hand.
But right then, Lu Cheng had no desire to let go of Shen Nian’s hand. In fact, he only tightened his grip.
Hearing them shout "Boss Lady," Lu Cheng’s heart instantly swelled with joy.
The woman whose hand he held was his wife—the wife he could proudly declare to the world was his and his alone!
Still, he hadn’t had his fill of looking at his own wife yet. Why would he let a bunch of other men gawk at her?
"Go to the station and finish the handover!"
"Yes, sir!"
Though they were disappointed they wouldn’t get to see their group leader and the Boss Lady interact anymore, they could tell from Lu Cheng’s reaction that their ass-kissing attempt had been a resounding success.
’Looks like in the future, if we want to get on the group leader’s good side, flattering him directly is a waste of time. The real key is the Boss Lady!’
They’d heard their group leader was married, but they had never seen his wife before. To think they’d finally meet her like this!
It was unbelievable. Who knew their iron-blooded Mr. Lu also had such a gentle, tender side!
’We’ll have so much to brag about when we get back!’
However, just after everyone had left, a figure emerged from an empty corner. They watched the group leave, their gaze fixed on the retreating backs of Lu Cheng and Shen Nian, a look of profound hatred twisting their face.
