Where’s Your Husband?
Tong Lu quickly wiped away the grain of rice. Her cheeks were red. She was extremely embarrassed, and she really wanted to flee.
However, Leng Yejin handed the empty coffee cup on the table to her. His intention was obvious. He wanted her to make him a cup of coffee.
‘Why isn’t he letting me leave? Isn’t this man making things a little difficult for me?
‘He must be doing it intentionally.’
Embarrassed and furious, Tong Lu headed to the pantry to make Leng Yejin a cup of coffee. She decided not to add sugar to his coffee.
After Leng Yejin took a sip, he narrowed his eyes a little. He waved at her and signalled for her to make him another cup of coffee.
Tong Lu was stunned. She had to pay the price for acting wantonly earlier.
She glumly made him another cup of coffee and made sure that she put enough sugar into his coffee. But after he took a sip, he looked at her with a cold expression and signalled to her to make him a new cup of coffee.
Tong Lu was upset. What did he expect his coffee to taste like?
Tong Lu repeated the same process five times. After she made the fifth cup of coffee, she handed the cup of coffee to Leng Yejin in a respectful manner with a tense expression. She mouthed to him. ‘I was wrong. Really, I won’t repeat the same mistake again. Brother-in-law, please let me off the hook…”
Leng Yejin ignored her.
Tong Lu kept gesturing to him with her eyes, and she was so desperate to the point that she wanted to kneel down to beg him. There was a pitiful expression on her face.
Leng Yejin gave her a sidelong glance. This pitiful expression was exactly the way she looked the first time they had s*x. She could not bear his forceful thrusts anymore and begged him to go softer on her.
At that time, she was a little more shy compared to how she was now. He could smell the faint fragrance of her body. It was a very pleasant smell.
‘Alright, I’ll let her off the hook this one time.’ Leng Yejin waved his hand in dismissal.
Tong Lu breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to leave when the other delegates in the meeting room started treating her as a “coffee girl” and asked her to make coffee for them too. Even though Leng Yejin’s expression remained calm, he narrowed his eyes a little. For some reason, Tong Lu could feel a sense of danger, like someone was shooting daggers at her back.
Suddenly, her stomach grumbled very loudly.
‘Oh God. Just give me a strand of noodle for me to hang myself with.’
She no longer dared to raise her head. All the delegates in the meeting room were covering their mouths with their hands to hide their laughter.
The president smiled amiably. “It’s almost time for us to receive the guests. Let’s end the meeting here. This way, the coffee girl will get to fill her belly too.”
Tong Lu was so flustered that she wanted to cover her face. ‘Why does the president like to give other people nicknames?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. President.”
“It’s alright. Just call me uncle.”
The moment the president said that, all the delegates in the meeting room looked at her in unison. Only then did they realize why a young woman in a volunteers’ uniform had the chance to serve coffee in the meeting room. So, this was her true identity.
Tong Lu was extremely flattered. She did not expect the president to know who she was.
She could not help but feel a little pleased with herself.
The other delegates had left the meeting room, and Tong Lu walked emotionally and nervously towards the president. “Uncle, nice to meet you. My name is Tong Lu.”
“I know. Jin has told me about you. Why don’t you attend the banquet with Jin later?”
The president looked at Tong Lu a few more times, and for some reason, he felt a vague sense of familiarity when she saw her face. He could not help but feel a fondness toward her.
“This… Wouldn’t it be inappropriate? I’m just a volunteer.”
“What’s so inappropriate about this? You were so hungry that your stomach grumbled, and it must be because the organizer didn’t give you enough food. As the president, I am to blame for this. Of course I should make it up to you by feeding you.”
Tong Lu flashed an awkward smile. Was this considered black humor?
She sneaked a glance at Leng Yejin, who was standing beside him. There was a playful smile on his face. He saw that she was looking at him, and his expression immediately turned dark. “Come on, let’s get going so that you can get changed into something more formal. Don’t make a fool of yourself again. If you cause me anymore embarrassment, you’ll have to chop off your own head as a show of apology!”
