Chapter 58: Letting Him Protect Zhang Meng
Zhang Meng took a sharp breath and tried to push Xu Lu Cha away.
Xu Lu Cha tightly held her waist, not letting her move.
That wonderful feeling nearly drove him mad. His fair face was flushed red, and his beautiful eyes were full of desire.
“Zhang Meng, do you find me too wanton…” he murmured softly, bending down to kiss the corner of Zhang Meng’s mouth and chin.
Xu Lu Cha’s sudden intrusion sobered Zhang Meng considerably. She had no idea how she had become bewitched and consummated with Xu Lu Cha.
“Lu Cha…” Zhang Meng covered her face, feeling both regretful and shy.
Xu Lu Cha removed her hand and said hoarsely, “Zhang Meng, look at me.”
Zhang Meng looked at him as he said. Xu Lu Cha’s face was flushed red, his expression extremely gentle: “Zhang Meng, I am your husband. Don’t be afraid of me.”
“It’s normal for couples to do this, doesn’t Zhang Meng like me?”
“Lu Cha, I do like you,” Zhang Meng responded.
She liked Xu Lu Cha and was willing to live with him for a lifetime. But she wasn’t ready to be intimate with him yet.
Although Xu Lu Cha’s movements were inexperienced, they could be considered gentle. Gradually, under Xu Lu Cha’s lead, Zhang Meng began to feel some pleasure and unconsciously responded to him.
Xu Lu Cha was overjoyed and passionately kissed her earlobe and neck. “Zhang Meng, don’t think I’m too wanton. All my flirtatiousness and lewdness are only because of you. Because I love you so much, I want to be with you all the time and be intimate with you.”
Having spoken his true feelings, Xu Lu Cha became even more uninhibited. It was as if he wanted to dedicate all his passion to Zhang Meng.
Their limbs intertwined and collided, the bed shaking violently. Xu Lu Cha panted and moaned, his glistening sweat soaking his flowing hair, his tender tongue licking Zhang Meng’s neck.
His watery eyes were full of allure as he gazed tenderly at Zhang Meng, constantly whispering, “Zhang Meng, my wife-master… I love you the most…”
Zhang Meng ran her hands through his smooth long hair, panting, “Lu Cha, I also…” love you…
She didn’t finish the second half of her sentence.
Perhaps she had unknowingly fallen in love with him, perhaps she liked Xu Lu Cha more than she had imagined.
She had always thought she didn’t like him enough, thought she wasn’t ready to consummate with him, but in fact, she was just afraid.
She feared Xu Lu Cha’s love for her was just a passing fancy, she feared that when she truly developed feelings for him, he would find her not as good as he had imagined and abandon her. Just like Yang Qing had abandoned her before.
“Xu Lu Cha, please never leave me.”
Zhang Meng reached out to hug Xu Lu Cha tightly, murmuring.
She didn’t want to experience that feeling of being abandoned again. So, if she gave her heart to him, she would no longer allow him to leave.
“Zhang Meng, I will never leave you,” Xu Lu Cha kissed her neck and replied softly.
When that moment came, Xu Lu Cha quickly withdrew and released outside.
He didn’t want a child to distract Zhang Meng’s attention from him; he only wanted to have Zhang Meng all to himself forever.
He lay back on the bed, embracing Zhang Meng with both arms, gently kissing her smooth bare back and slender neck.
Under the influence of alcohol, Zhang Meng quickly fell asleep. But Xu Lu Cha was wide awake.
He was so happy and excited that he wanted to shake Zhang Meng awake and have several more rounds of passionate lovemaking. But he couldn’t bear to wake her.
After cleaning Zhang Meng’s body and covering her with a blanket, Xu Lu Cha sat by the bed, quietly watching her sleeping face.
He could feel that Zhang Meng was slowly accepting him. So Zhang Meng also cared about him and was afraid of him leaving.
He bent down and gently kissed Zhang Meng’s lips.
He would never leave her. She was the most important person in the world to him, how could he possibly leave her?
He was just afraid that she would find him too clingy and annoying, and leave him because she couldn’t stand it.
Thinking of this, Xu Lu Cha laughed as he stroked Zhang Meng’s face. Given Zhang Meng’s personality, even if she couldn’t stand him anymore, she would never leave him, after all, she was always so gentle to others.
Such a gentle and wonderful person had gotten involved with such a selfish person like him, it could be considered her misfortune. Now that he had latched onto her, he would never let go, even if it meant following her to the ends of the earth, he would stay by her side forever and ever.
Xu Lu Cha’s body was covered in sweat, and below was a mess. But despite his love for cleanliness, he was reluctant to wash away those fluids because they carried Zhang Meng’s scent.
He sat disheveled by the bed, holding Zhang Meng’s hand, not sleeping all night.
When the rooster began to crow, he quietly let go of Zhang Meng’s hand, took a set of clean clothes, and went behind the screen to bathe.
In front of Zhang Meng, he always maintained a clean and fresh appearance.
When Zhang Meng woke up, he brought the already prepared clean water and washing utensils to her.
“Uh… Lu Cha…” Seeing Xu Lu Cha, Zhang Meng felt a bit awkward. She took the damp handkerchief Xu Lu Cha handed her and said softly, “Lu Cha, you don’t need to always serve me like this.”
She wasn’t some wealthy young lady who needed someone to prepare washing utensils for her every day, even wringing out the handkerchief for her.
Xu Lu Cha said gently, “Zhang Meng, I just want to be good to you.”
Ever since Xu Lu Cha had confirmed their relationship, he had always been so straightforward with these sweet words. Sometimes Zhang Meng really couldn’t handle it.
After Zhang Meng finished washing up, Xu Lu Cha took away the water basin. She looked at Xu Lu Cha’s slender waist and suddenly remembered wrapping her legs around it last night, immediately blushing.
Covering her face with her hands and patting her head, she pushed away the embarrassing memories of last night and got out of bed to dress.
Due to the hangover, her head was slightly swollen with pain, but it was bearable.
Xu Lu Cha waited for her outside the door. Seeing her come out, he took her hand on his own initiative.
“Zhang Meng, I was very happy last night. I was so happy I didn’t sleep all night.”
Zhang Meng’s face turned slightly red, and she coughed dryly, “Lu Cha…” Not knowing what to say, she could only walk with her head down.
Xu Lu Cha was also shy. Although he was bold in his desires, he was still a man after all. Yesterday he had been so assertive in his invitation to intimacy, he was really afraid Zhang Meng would find him distasteful.
But fortunately, Zhang Meng didn’t find him distasteful, and even let him see her shy side. Xu Lu Cha’s heart felt as if it was being tickled by a feather, itchy.
After holding back for a long time, he still couldn’t resist bending down to kiss Zhang Meng’s forehead.
When it was almost noon, Zhang Meng and Xu Lu Cha were playing chess when suddenly Qin Lu ran over: “Young Master Xu, Young Master Zi Yi is looking for you.”
Xu Lu Cha frowned slightly, his beautiful eyes full of impatience at being disturbed. But his face didn’t show it, and he said to Zhang Meng with a gentle expression, “Zhang Meng, I’ll go out for a bit.”
“Alright,” Zhang Meng nodded with a smile.
After Xu Lu Cha left, Zhang Meng idly fiddled with the chess pieces. To be honest, after a few days of idle honeymoon, she was bored to death. If it weren’t for Xu Lu Cha keeping her company, she would have long ago applied to Zhong Huo to go out on patrol.
“Zi Yi, what’s the matter?”
Xu Lu Cha leaned against a pillar, his beautiful eyes looking at Zi Yi with some displeasure.
The atmosphere between him and Zhang Meng had been just right, but it was interrupted by Zi Yi. At this moment, he really wanted to knock Zi Yi unconscious and throw him back to the Xu residence.
Zi Yi was somewhat uneasy: “Young Master, today I saw someone come to see the master, saying they had seen a descendant of Prince Ming.”
Xu Lu Cha suddenly raised his head: “What? What happened?”
“Young Master wore the jade pendant that day, it must have been seen by someone. That person confidently told the master that you have a jade pendant, saying you are a descendant of Prince Ming.”
Xu Lu Cha’s face turned a few shades paler. Chen Yue knew he couldn’t possibly be a descendant of Prince Ming, but Chen Yue would deduce that Zhang Meng was a descendant of Prince Ming.
“Young Master… what should we do…”
Xu Lu Cha was also in a panic for a moment, but forced himself to calm down. He quickly turned and headed back to the government office.
“Zi Yi, wait here for me for a moment.” Dropping these words, he quickly disappeared from Zi Yi’s sight.
Zi Yi waited for a while, then saw Xu Lu Cha come out carrying a box. He handed the box to Zi Yi and said quickly, “Take this back to the Xu residence. If that old bastard makes any moves, give this box to him.”
“Young Master, what is this…”
“These are evidences of his evil deeds over the past few years. Tell him I have many more pieces of evidence that can make his life miserable. If he dares to act rashly, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
If that old bastard dares to do anything to Zhang Meng, he will make sure he doesn’t die well.
Zi Yi nodded in agreement and hurried back.
Xu Lu Cha hesitated on the spot for a while. That old bastard Chen Yue had always disliked him and wanted to get rid of him.
Now that he had so hastily asked Zi Yi to take the box to threaten Chen Yue, on the surface it seemed like he had the upper hand, but in reality, he had exposed his only bargaining chip.
Sooner or later Chen Yue would know that he could only threaten him. Chen Yue came from a powerful family with great influence. Xu Lu Cha’s little evidence could only tarnish his reputation, but couldn’t take his life.
Chen Yue still cared about that bit of reputation now, but if he was pushed to the edge in the future, he might do anything.
Xu Lu Cha wasn’t afraid of what Chen Yue might do to him, he was just afraid that Chen Yue would harm Zhang Meng.
When Xu Lu Cha returned to the backyard of the government office, he saw Zhang Meng playing with chess pieces out of boredom. Suddenly he felt very sad.
If he hadn’t worn the jade pendant and walked around that day, no one would have seen it. And Zhang Meng wouldn’t be in danger now.
“Lu Cha, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Xu Lu Cha staring at her blankly, Zhang Meng asked in confusion.
Hearing Zhang Meng’s voice, Xu Lu Cha hid his worries and smiled slightly at her, “It’s nothing.”
He walked closer to Zhang Meng and reached out to hug her. Lovingly breathing in Zhang Meng’s scent, he gently rubbed his soft chin against Zhang Meng’s neck.
“Zhang Meng, I might not be able to accompany you for the next few days. Something came up with the business, I need to go deal with it.”
He needed to find the biggest bargaining chip to protect Zhang Meng before Chen Yue made a move against her.
Zhang Meng didn’t know what was on his mind and thought something really had come up with the business. She comforted Xu Lu Cha, “It’s alright, business can’t always go smoothly. I believe Lu Cha will handle it well.”
Xu Lu Cha remained silent, so Zhang Meng reached out to hug him back and raised her hand to rub his hair, “Lu Cha can do whatever he wants to do, you don’t need to accompany me.”
Xu Lu Cha’s eyes suddenly became hot. His Zhang Meng should be happy and safe forever and ever. He would take care of all the dirty work.
He kissed Zhang Meng’s neck and said softly, “Once I’ve dealt with the business matters, I’ll accompany you every day.”
“Alright,” Zhang Meng smiled.

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Synopsis:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
—–
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
